Lady Yun was now doing her best to suppress her anger.
I didnt make a fuss, I simply asked Granny Li to find a doctor for Yichen. Moreover, I didnt cause anyone to get hurt. Wei Ruo replied, her voice steady and composed.
Granny Li quickly explained, Madam, its not that I didnt want to find a doctor for the Second Young Master, but 1 believed his illness was not serious, and planned to arrange for one tomorrow. I had informed the Second Young Masters attendant of this, and made it clear to Miss when she came to ask. I dont know why she stirred up a scene over it, and even caused the Second Miss to fall and get hurt.
You said Yichens illness isnt serious? And that I pushed Wei Qingwan? Wei Ruos gaze swept coldly over Granny Li.
Everyone saw the Second Young Master today when he was perfectly fine. The servants can bear witness to that! Granny Li knelt on the ground, defending herself.
B0x.comHow ridiculous. Who told you that someone who is fine during the day wont be seriously ill at night? Havent you heard of the saying illness strikes like a landslide? If you can so easily determine whether or not a person is severely ill, why havent you become a doctor?
If Miss insists that this old servant deliberately neglected the Second Young Masters condition, could she clarify what I could possibly gain from doing so? Granny Li asked Wei Ruo.
All you think is that since the Second Young Master is not favored, you can bully your master with impunity! Lets see if she still dares to act like this if Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin were watching!
What nonsense is Miss speaking? When has the Second Young Master ever been unfavored? Madam is kind and generous, treating all the children in the house equally, regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, young or old. They are all loved! Where would we servants dare to be neglectful? Granny Li hurriedly said.
Granny Lis words made Lady Yuns already grim face look even more displeased.
Indeed, she didnt care much for Wei Jinyi, but she had never skimped on his expenses! Wei Ruos words not favored were like a slap in her face!
Seeing Lady Yuns face becoming even darker, Granny Li knew her words were having an effect.
Then, with a grieving expression on her face, Granny Li continued, Indeed, I made the decision to call the doctor tomorrow based on the fact that the Second Young Master didnt seem seriously ill! If Miss is dissatisfied with my judgement and handling of the matter, she should confront this old servant and not vent her anger on the Second Miss. She didnt do anything, yet inexplicably was pushed to the ground by you and bled a lot
Granny Li started wiping away her tears, My poor Second Miss, even if Miss kills me today I will not resent it, but what about the beautiful, young Second Miss who has suffered such hardship if this accident results in any lingering ailments, what are we to do
Granny Li started shifting the conversation, hinting in her words that Wei Ruo had intentionally harmed Wei Qingwan.
Hearing this, Lady Yun was fuming, and hit the tea table with force, Ruoruo, you have gone too far! You caused trouble in Wangmei Garden without understanding the full context and pushed Wanwan to the ground, causing her to get hurt! What has Wanwan done to displease you for you to treat her like this?
Seeing Lady Yuns fury, Wei Ruo had to silently praise Granny Lis cunning. We Ruo responded, Firstly, I was seeking out Granny Li for Yichens illness; secondly, I did not push Wei Qingwan. These are the two facts, if you choose to believe me, you can, if not, there is nothing I can do.
Wei Ruos voice was loud and confident, her gaze steady and unflinching.
You say it wasnt you who pushed Wanwan? Lady Yun asked again.
Correct, it wasnt me. Wei Ruo affirmed confidently.
Fine, I will take you to confront Wanwan now, and well see who is lying! Lady Yun stood up in anger.
She led the way, with Zhou Granny and Wei Ruo following behind.
Upon entering the bedroom, Wei Ruo saw Wei Qingwan lying on the bed, looking pale.
Her foot was bound in white cloth, obscuring the severity of the injury.
Mother Wei Qingwans eyes welled up with tears again when she saw Lady Yun.
Right away, Lady Yun rushed to Wei Qingwan, holding her tightly in her arms, Wanwan, youve suffered.
After comforting Wei Qingwan for a while, she finally stopped crying.
Then, Lady Yun asked Wei Qingwan, Wanwan, can you tell me how you fell tonight?
Upon hearing this, Wei Qingwan hesitated, looking anxiously at Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo was also watching Wei Qingwan, taking in every expression and movement.
There was no bad blood between her and Wei Qingwan, not even in the original novel, where there was no instance of Wei Qingwan consciously harming her.
Wei Ruo was curious about how the kind and gentle heroine of the original text would respond at this moment.
Wei Qingwan felt intimidated under Wei Ruos gaze, unsure if she should repeat what Granny Li had told her to say.
Off to the side, she noticed Granny Li watching her.
When Wei Qingwan didnt respond, Lady Yun told her, Wanwan, dont hesitate. Whoever pushed you, just say it. I will ensure justice is served.
Itit w-was Sister Wei Qingwan stuttered as she said the word sister.
Immediately, every gaze in the room returned to Wei Ruo.
Stern, accusing, and angry.
Yet, Wei Ruo found herself wanting to laugh.
Who could have thought that the gentle and virtuous protagonist of the novel would lie and defame her?
Lady Yun turned to Wei Ruo, What else do you have to say now?
Wei Ruo replied, Indeed, I want to say that Wei Qingwan is framing me. I
didnt push her, yet she accuses me of doing so.
Lady Yun laughed in exasperation, Youre becoming more and more outrageous! I really misjudged you! I thought that although you grew up in the countryside, you wouldnt have taken on any bad habits. As it turns out, I couldnt have been more wrong!
I didnt pick up any bad habits, there are no bad habits in the countryside for me to pick up, farming isnt a bad habit. The simple villagers dont have any either, the ones with bad habits are those who tell lies with their eyes wide open and slander others!
Wei Ruo said all this while staring fiercely at Wei Qingwan, who was lying on the bed.
Whether it was from being startled by Wei Ruos glare or guilt, Wei Qingwan
lowered her head and began to wipe away her tears.
Anger surged in Lady Yuns heart, You still wont admit your mistake? What are you looking at Wanwan for? What else do you want to do to her?
