Chapter 31 Determined
After stumbling and falling all the way, Fang finally found Master Wei and explained the situation.

"What? Yi Chang! How dare she?" Master Wei thought, how could his daughter, who was not very talkative and was introverted and sensitive, have become like this?

"She insists on giving an explanation..."

Master Wei followed Madam Fang to the old lady's room, where they saw Wang San lying on the ground, already dead, and Xi'er crying incessantly.

"What's going on here?" Master Wei asked Madam Fang.

"It's the Lin family."

The old lady added, and then comforted Wei Yishang.

"Shang girl, please allow your father and me to discuss this."

The old lady pulled her son into the inner room.

At this moment, Wei Yishang used the excuse of going to the toilet to arrange for Zhang Zhong to do something.

"Xin'er, what do you think about this...?" The old lady wanted to ask Mr. Wei's opinion.

“This matter must not be reported to the authorities, as it would damage the Wei family’s reputation,” said Master Wei. “Mother, please comfort Chang’er and let it go.”

"But, Chang'er doesn't agree..." the old lady sighed.

"Then what should we do, Mother?" Master Wei thought, the old lady should already have an idea, she just needs to see what I think.

"Place Sanya under house arrest and stop her from bothering Changya." The old lady said this with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"A perfectly good family has been turned into such a mess."

Master Wei nodded.

Suddenly, you can hear two people talking outside the window.

"Do you think the third young lady will be punished?"

"No, the old lady and the old man are extremely biased, but that would be harmful."

"Where has Aunt Zhang's vast fortune gone? If Fourth Miss investigates, she'll be in big trouble..."

"Indeed, Aunt Lin is really ruthless; she killed someone right in front of the old lady."

"People outside don't know yet, so what can they say about our family..."

The old lady paused for a moment, then angrily opened the window, but saw no one.

She glanced at her son.

"Mother, this..."

"Shang'er probably knows what she owed Zhang back then..."

The old lady shook her head. "In that case, we must give Chang'er an explanation."

"What does Mother mean?"

The old lady twirled the prayer beads on her hand. "Send Sanya to the old house."

"What?!" Master Wei couldn't believe his ears.

"This is also to uphold family values, give Chang a proper explanation, and avoid gossip from outsiders."

"But this is too unfair to Sanya. She has been pampered since she was a child. How can she bear such an injustice?"

Master Wei thought of Madam Lin and felt that his daughter's crime did not warrant such punishment.

"Let her go for a while, and she can come back when she calms down." The old lady knew that this was just a delaying tactic.

Master Wei nodded.

……

"What? You want me to go to the old house!" Wei Mohan was shocked and furious at the result.

"Why should I?" she demanded loudly of her grandmother.

"You..." The old lady was so angry that her back ached.

Master Wei then slapped him across the face.

"Father, I can't go to the village. My mother and brother are still here. I can't leave..."

Wei Mohan cried and begged Master Wei.

At this moment, a maid came to report that Consort Lin had fainted due to chest tightness and shortness of breath.

"Good heavens, what kind of mess is this..." Old Master Wei was furious.

Seeing that Wei Yishang was not willing to budge, the old lady had no choice but to say to her personal maid, "Granny Qian, take the Third Miss downstairs and make the necessary arrangements. She will go to the estate tomorrow."

"Go to the estate and live a leisurely life first, and then come back someday, is that right?" Wei Yishang's eyes were calm and indifferent.

"Shang girl, that's enough." Madam Xu felt that this ending had already taught Wei Mohan a lesson, and there was no need to extend it any further.

"Aunt, if my eldest sister were persecuted but managed to escape, would you ask her to let it go?" Madam Xu remained silent, still worried.

The old lady's patience was limited; she had already made her decision and would not allow her to continue like this.

“Grandmother, I’d like to speak with you alone.”

The old lady saw that her granddaughter wasn't angry, her voice was sweet, but her eyes were resolute. She suddenly realized that this girl might not be as she had previously thought.

"Come……"

The old lady took Wei Yishang's hand and led her into the inner room.

"Shang girl, you speak."

“Grandmother, I have raised 100,000 taels of silver to open the shop. Please keep your promise and do not interfere.”

The old lady sat up abruptly from her chair, a chill running through her heart.

“Grandmother, this punishment is almost no loss to Third Sister, but for me, it brings more anxiety and worry.”

The old lady stared blankly at Wei Yishang.

"What do you say……"

“Grandmother, this kind of treatment may seem like protection, but it actually breaks the rules. In the future, will anyone in the family be able to act lawlessly and persecute others?”

"But this is your third sister..."

The old lady still only thought about her children.

"Grandmother, aren't you wondering why the First Madam suddenly developed a skin disease, causing Father to dislike her and rendering her infertile for life?"

As Wei Yishang finished speaking, she noticed that the old lady had become frightened.

"Grandmother sent someone to the clinic next to Xiang Sheng Ji to 'ask' that Doctor Ji, and they would know everything."

The old woman was terrified...

"What's wrong with you???"

“Grandmother, the affairs of this mansion are filthy. If you knew anything about it, you shouldn’t have tolerated it!”

Wei Yishang's words brought the old lady back to her senses.

Yes, she knows a little about what the Lin family has done over the years.

But for the sake of family harmony and the future of her children and grandchildren, she did not interfere.

Even indulgence can be harmful.

When the grandmother and grandson came out, the people outside saw that the old lady was already determined.

"Send the Third Girl to the estate immediately, draw up a contract, and forbid her from ever returning to the capital!"

"Mother!"

"grandmother!"

No matter what they said or how much they begged for mercy, the old lady did not change her mind.

The old lady also issued a gag order; everyone present signed a pledge of silence, refusing to say a word.

While waiting for news inside, Aunt Lin was still planning to whisper in Master Wei's ear to get the matter over with. Upon receiving the news, she immediately fainted.

This time, however, I was truly dizzy.

“Miss…you’ve stood up for Cui’er…” Back in the room, Li Moyu thought that since she had been able to travel through time, the real Cui’er must have already gone to heaven.

“If I say I will stand up for you, then I will stand up for you.”

"Aren't you afraid of being called a shrew, young lady?" Cui'er asked.

"It would be tragic if we didn't have the ability to fight back."

Wei Yishang was exhausted after a long day. She took a bath, changed her clothes, and went to bed early.

In her dream, she was reading a novel called "Feng Shaoyan" with great interest when she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Daiyu's constitution?

As Wei Yishang was wondering what was going on, Ye Mingzhen suddenly appeared in the scene and handed her a divine pill.

It looks exactly like those modern snacks like Maltesers...

She was debating whether to eat or not when she suddenly woke up. Looking outside, she saw that it was already dawn.

"Fourth Miss, something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened..."

A servant came to report that something had happened and asked Wei Yishang to go to Madam Fang's place.
