Family_i

Wei Jinyi didn’t respond to Wei Qingwan’s question, his eyes sharply on Madam

Yun, waiting for her reply.

Madam Yun’s face paled slightly, “Right now, there are only rumors outside. If we send Wanwan to the countryside now, aren’t we just admitting to the guilt?

“Wanwan has skipped school for a few days now. If we’re talking about admitting guilt, it has been done already, and it doesn’t matter anymore,” Wei Jinyi said.

“That’s different. I told them Wanwan was ill when she wasn’t attending school these past few days.” Madam Yun explained.

“We can send her to the countryside to recuperate even if she is ill. Those who believe she is ill will still believe so.”

“How are they the same?”

“Mother, you told others my elder sister had been recuperating in the countryside for thirteen years, it works for my elder sister, so why can’t it be used for my second sister,” Wei Jinyi stated.

Madam Yun was silenced by Wei Jinyi’s words.

For the first time, she discovered that this illegitimate son, who had been silent in the mansion for many years, was surprisingly eloquent!

Wei Qingwan still didn’t understand: “Mother, what happened? Why are you saying my reputation isn’t good?”

Madam Yun glanced at Wei Qingwan, realizing that she would eventually learn about it anyway, so she didn’t continue to conceal it.

“Your situation has already spread outside,” Madam Yun said with a sigh.

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingwan’s face instantly turned pale.

How could this be? It’s all over the outside?

Then, wasn’t she…?

Thinking of the consequences, Wei Qingwan’s head started buzzing, a series of negative thoughts flooding her mind.

Madam Yun turned to Wei Jinyi: “Let me think about this for a while before making a decision, it’s already late.”

“I’m not here to negotiate with you,” Wei Jinyi said.

“What do you mean by that?” Madam Yun’s face darkened, her brows furrowed, coldness in her eyes.

■•jing Hu, please escort the Second Miss to the countryside,” Wei Jinyi commanded.

After Wei Jinyi had spoken, Jing Hu and his men entered the hall, standing before Wei Qingwan.

“Second Miss, please,” Jing Hu said solemnly, his presence domineering.

Wei Qingwan’s face was bloodless, and her body was shaking.

“How dare you!” Madam Yun slammed her hand on the table, scolding, “Don’t you respect me as your mother anymore?”

Wei Jinyi remained unmoved, his face still void of any expression, he continued to instruct Jing Hu, “If the Second Miss refuses to cooperate, get the rough serving women on duty from the mansion to directly carry her out.” “Wei Jinyi, you are an illegitimate son, giving orders in front of me, the matron of the household, don’t you have any respect for the ranks of the family! The one who should be dragged away and punished is you!” Madam Yun yelled in anger.

Wei Jinyi ignored Madam Yun and told Jing Hu, “Please escort the Second Miss to the countryside.”

“Who dares to move without my permission?” Madam Yun thundered. However, to Madam Yun’s surprise, her order had no effect. Two rough serving women still came in and carried Wei Qingwan away right in front of her.

“Mother! Mother help me! Mother…” Wei Qingwan yelled out as she was being carried away, turning back and crying for Madam Yun’s help.

Madam Yun was stunned, she couldn’t believe that there were servants in her own house that she couldn’t command!

“You rebels, who are you really serving! How dare you ignore my orders!” Madam Yun was furious.

Her anger didn’t have any effect. Wei Qingwan was still forcibly dragged away under her watch by her own subordinates.

Madam Yun stood up angrily and pointed at Wei Jinyi: “You ungrateful child, what did you do to our household’s servants?”

Furious to the point of feeling dizzy, Madam Yun stumbled, and Maid Cuiping quickly supported her.

Wei Jinyi still showed no emotion: ”1 have explained to Mother that I only wanted to send the Second Sister to the countryside.”

Having said that, Wei Jinyi stood up and left.

“He…he…” Madam Yun rolled her eyes and fainted into the maids’ arms as she failed to catch her breath.

Wei Ruo was also taken aback at the moment. In truth, she hadn’t expected such a thing to happen, her brother hadn’t mentioned to her he was going to do such a thing.

She also didn’t expect her second brother to be so bold as to do such a thing in front of Madam Yun, something even their eldest brother couldn’t pull off.

After glancing at the unconscious Madam Yun, Wei Ruo followed after Wei Jinyi and left the dining hall. She caught up with Wei Jinyi just in time when he reached the gate of Cangyun Garden.

“Second Brother.”

Upon hearing Wei Ruo’s voice, Wei Jinyi stopped.

“Second Brother, will you be in trouble for doing this?” Wei Ruo asked.

Being an illegitimate son, offending the matron of the family seemed unreasonable, didn’t it?

Wei Ruo didn’t care much about the others. She just didn’t want her second brother to be implicated because of this.

She knew that Wei Mingting cherished her second brother, but if her second brother went overboard, even their father wouldn’t turn a blind eye.

“I won’t be. Once Father returns, I will explain it to him,” Wei Jinyi responded.

Wei Ruo looked at Wei Jinyi, she was a little puzzled but also moved.

Wei Jinyi continued, “The handling of this situation was biased from the start, and even though Wei Qingwan’s death penalty could be avoided, she shouldn t be treated with such leniency.”

As he spoke, Wei Jinyi moved his hand to pat Wei Ruo’s head out of habit, but then realizing the action was inappropriate, he pulled his hand back.

“You don’t have to worry about me, I know my limits,” Wei Jinyi added. Wei Ruo nodded, then added after a pause, “Thank you, second brother.” He did all of this for her. Although she didn’t mind her reputation being damaged by Wei Qingwan, she couldn’t help but feel heartened by someone caring for her this way.

Wei Jinyi didn’t say anything. They walked together for a while, then separated as they neared Tingsong Garden, each heading to their respective residences.

Later on, Wei Mingting returned home.

As soon as he arrived, he heard about Madam Yun fainting from anger due to Wei Jinyi.

Wei Mingting hurried back to Cangyun Garden to check on her, then learned the details of the situation from Madam Yun’s personal maid, Cuiping.

Not daring to exaggerate, Cuiping simply explained exactly what happened. She didn’t understand why the young master would suddenly be so harsh. She also didn’t understand why the people of the mansion were obeying the young master and ignoring the matron of the house.

But it happened as such, and the matron did faint from the altercation. As for the second young mistress, she should have already been taken to the countryside by now.

After listening to Cuiping’s explanation, Wei Mingting glanced at his wife on the bed but did not immediately lash out in anger as others expected him to do. After a while, he left the room and went to see Wei Jinyi in Yinzhu Garden.

In Yinzhu Garden, Wei Jinyi seemed to have anticipated Wei Mingting’s arrival. He was waiting calmly in his study with tea ready.

Upon entering, Wei Mingting looked at Wei Jinyi. Instead of immediately blaming or attacking him, he sighed and asked in a low voice, “Why did you do this?”

His tone was somewhat helpless, more of a question than a reproach..
