Although Li Yu had long thought that it was Madam Lin who harmed Mother
Li, she did not expect Madam Lin to viciously plot against her sister for a man. To think that man was also her sisterâs fiancé. It could be said that she was heartless. Mother Li was so sad and desperate back then. This old woman who helped the wicked was not a good person either.
After Granny Han finished speaking, she saw Li Yu looking at her coldly. She was so frightened that she kept kowtowing to the two of them and begging for mercy. âMaster, Madam, please spare my life and Eldest Miss. She hasnât had an easy time in the Wang family all these years.â
âIsnât it unreasonable to live happily after murdering your own sister for a man? Also, an evil slave like you canât escape punishment.â
Zhou Jia asked Granny Han to press her handprint on the confession document. He looked at her and sneered. âThinking about it, you are begging us to spare you, but did you ever think of sparing Second Miss Lin back then?
She was someone you spent time with. The heavens will demand retribution. Wouldnât it be against the heavensâ conscience to spare you? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Granny Han looked at Li Yu in horror. As expected, she wouldnât spare her! Granny Hanâs face was ashen as she sat on the ground.
Seeing that Granny Han was afraid, Zhou Jia was worried that the Wang family would retaliate against them after she died. He simply tied her up with a rope and gagged her before leaving the cellar with Li Yu.
When Ji Xiang came to the main courtyard after dinner and learned that Li Yu had already interrogated Granny Han, he told the two of them what had happened along the way before returning to rest.
After the couple washed up, they carried the sleeping Yangyang to the small bed to sleep. Seeing that he was sweating profusely from sleep, Li Yu took a fan and fanned him gently. Zhou Jia sat beside Li Yu and took over the fan. He whispered to Li Yu, âYuâer, youâve been tired all day. Go and rest.â
Li Yu leaned against Zhou Jia and asked softly, âXiao Xi, do you think Old Madam Hanâs confession can allow us to make Madam Linâs actions public?â
Zhou Jia shook his head. âFirstly, Mother-in-law has already passed away. Madam Lin can completely push the blame on Granny Han or say that she doesnât know anything. Secondly, the Wang and Lin families will definitely not agree for the sake of their reputation.â
âReputation? These aristocratic families have fame, but theyâve done all kinds of dirty things behind our backs. Theyâre really shameless.â
Zhou Jia pulled Li Yu over and fanned the mother and son. âThis is how the world is. Those old sour children are talking about rules and etiquette. Actually, theyâre the ones who donât follow the rules the most.â
The next morning, Li Yu brought Granny Han and her confession to the Wang family. Old Madam Wang heard a servant report that Li Yu had brought Granny Han to the Wang family and said that she wanted to see her and Madam Lin. Although she was filled with questions, she still got someone to call Madam Lin and came out to welcome her.
When Madam Lin heard the servant report that Li Yu had brought Granny Han to the Wang family, she was so anxious that she paced around the house. There was only one thought in her mind. What should she do? The nanny had been captured by that bitch Madam Li. She wondered if she had confessed. Old Madam Tang urged outside, âMadam, Madam Li is still waiting!â
âComing.â Madam Lin followed Old Madam Tang to the main hall uneasily.
When Old Madam Wang arrived at the main hall, her heart skipped a beat when she saw Granny Han tied up by ropes. She vaguely felt that this matter was probably not simple. She pointed at her and asked, âMadam Li, isnât this the nanny of the Lin family? I wonder what she did?â
Li Yu pointed at Granny Han and said to Old Madam Wang, âMadam Lin colluded with this evil slave to harm her sister just to marry into the Wang family. Iâll hand this evil slave over to the government to deal with her. Madam Lin canât escape punishment.â
When Madam Lin walked to the door and heard Li Yuâs words, she said sternly, âWhat right do you have to say that I did it?â
âWhether you did it or not, weâll know after seeing this.â Li Yu took out Granny
Hanâs confession and handed it to Old Madam Wang. âOld Madam Wang, this is
Old Madam Hanâs confession.â
Old Madam Wang looked at the confession and was shocked by the actions of Madam Lin and Granny Han. She stared at Madam Lin with her mouth half-open for a moment and walked forward to slap her face. She pointed at her and said bitterly, âHow can you be so vicious as to harm her? Thatâs your twin sister.â
The blood on Madam Linâs face instantly drained and she turned pale. She stared fiercely at Old Madam Han. âNanny, Iâve treated you well all these years. How could you do such a crazy thing? After being caught, you came to slander me?â
âMiss, youâ¦â As Granny Han looked up at Madam Lin, her heart was ashen. Thatâs right! She could even kill her twin sister. What was she, a nanny?
âEldest Miss, I finally understand what it means to repay kindness with evil. Itâs not that there isnât karma, but the time hasnât come. Now that Iâve received retribution, I canât accompany you anymore. I hope that everything will go smoothly for the rest of your life.â
Madam Lin stared intently at the ashen-faced Granny Han. âWhat retribution?
Nanny, you canât go against your conscience and frame me!â
Li Yu looked at the scene in front of her and felt that it was really a dogfight. She looked at Madam Lin and sneered. âYou donât have to be in a hurry to quibble. Weâll settle it when we go to the government office.â Madam Lin glared at Li Yu. âStop scaring people here.â
âHmph!â Li Yu stood up. âJust wait and see if Iâm scaring you.â
Old Madam Wang sat at the side in a daze. Thinking that her two grandsons would probably be ostracized and looked down upon by others in the future, she hurriedly scolded Madam Lin, âHurry up and leave.â
These words sounded like heavenly music to Madam Linâs ears. âYes, Mother-in-law.â Mrs. Lin slipped out faster than a rabbit.
Old Madam Wang bowed to Li Yu shakily and begged, âMadam Li, Zhengâer and Madam Lin still have two sons. If we hand Madam Lin over to the government office to be punished and the world finds out that the two children have such a biological mother, it will be difficult for the two children to establish themselves in the future.â Old Madam Wang looked at Li Yu with tears streaming down her face. âMadam Li, the Wang family has always been on good terms with your family. Your mother is the most magnanimous and kind. Your grandmother and I are as close as sisters. Please donât send Madam Lin to the government on account of your motherâs family and leave it to our Wang family to deal with in private. This evil slave will naturally be handed over to the government to be punished.â
Li Yu looked at Old Madam Wang, who was crying, and knew that the Wang family would not let anyone take Madam Lin away. She said coldly, âHow is your Wang family going to deal with Madam Lin?â
Seeing that Li Yu had relented, Old Madam Wang took a deep breath and relaxed. âMadam Li, Madam Lin will go to the temple in the Wang family village to repent for her sins.â
âAlright, I hope you keep your promise. Iâll bring Old Madam Han to the government office.â Li Yu brought Gu Yu in. Ji Xiang came in from outside and brought Granny Han out.
After returning to the manor, Ji Xiang said to Li Yu, âMadam, do you need to kill Madam Lin?â
âThereâs no need. For someone like her, living in a home temple is torture.
Dying is a relief..â
