Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

This event happened suddenly, and Mr. Wei's previously calm and confident mindset was suddenly thrown into turmoil.

"What's going on? Why are you imprisoning my son and me? I'm going to ask the master. I don't believe he would do this to me," Madam Wei said excitedly.

Earlier, Jiang Zhongmao had told his eldest son to reduce his contact with his second and third sons, and he had also replaced all the people in his courtyard. She knew that Jiang Zhongmao must have noticed something, but at the time, Jiang Zhongmao did not take much action.

I never expected that such a thing would happen just two days later.

They immediately imprisoned her and her two children.

When Lady Wei arrived at the gate, she was stopped. Due to the ban on confinement, more guards were assigned to the courtyard of the mother and her two children.

"Why did you do this, sir? I've been married into the Jiang family for many years, and you've never treated me like this before," Madam Wei said indignantly.

"I'm sorry, Madam, we were just following the master's orders."

"Then let me ask the master."

"The master instructed that the madam is not allowed to leave this courtyard."

Ms. Wei felt dizzy and saw stars before her eyes.

"Mother." Jiang Shuxue ran in from outside.

Lady Wei thought that Jiang Shuxue was nominally the daughter of the Princess of Shouguang, so her actions were not restricted.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, she quickly pulled Jiang Shuxue into the house.

"Shuxue, what is the reason for your father's sudden action?"

Jiang Shuxue shook her head in confusion: "I don't know either. I heard that my mother was under house arrest, so I came to visit her."

"What has Princess Shouguang done?"

"No, she's still the same as always. She either rests in bed or goes for walks in the park. She takes her medicine on time and tries to eat as much as possible. I think she has a strong will to live."

For Wei, this meant nothing; what dying person wouldn't want to live a few more days?

She sat down, seething with anger.

“Your father did this because he suspects me, but there is no evidence. It’s too much to imprison my mother and me based on mere suspicion.”

"Mother, don't worry. In a few more days, the eldest son will become a complete idiot."

"Now that Father has realized something is wrong and wants to save the eldest son, he has even invited the imperial physicians from the palace. To avoid any further complications, he has placed Mother and his two younger brothers under house arrest. Once he realized that the eldest son was beyond saving, he no longer held any hope."

"Besides, I'm about to get married, and it wouldn't look good if word got out that I've been restricting my mother's freedom."

Wei thought about it and agreed, and the team he sent to Yunzhou should send back news soon.

Ultimately, the situation was in her favor.

"I can endure it, and I can wait. This family will eventually fall into our hands."

"Shuxue, now that your mother is not able to move around easily, everything will have to be done by you. Keep an eye on Princess Shouguang's side." Madam Wei instructed.

"Mother, don't worry."

Two days later, a pigeon fluttered down into the Wei family's yard.

The servants took down the bamboo tube and handed the letter inside to Madam Wei.

After confirming that he had read the handwriting, Mr. Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great! The bastard has finally been eliminated. With this worry gone, the wretch's dowry will all belong to my daughter."

Mr. Wei chuckled softly, his eyes gleaming with victory.

The bastard child should have died at the inn, but unfortunately, the Qiao family took him in for a while, so she couldn't do it and could only wait for a better opportunity.

He's still dead at her hands now.

Although Jiang Shuxue is about to marry into the Zhong family, her years of hard work have basically ensured that everything will go smoothly. However, if an illegitimate child were to emerge one day and reveal past events, there might be disputes over the dowry.

Only the dead are the safest bet.

Ms. Wei felt much comforted by the grievances she had suffered over the past few days.

Next, all that was left was to wait, to wait for news that Jiang Shijing had become a complete idiot.

Final victory is just around the corner, within reach.

Jiang Shuxue was stopped at the entrance of Jiang Shijing's courtyard.

"I'm sorry, Miss, but the master has instructed that the eldest young master needs to rest quietly and should not be disturbed by anyone."

Jiang Shuxue snorted: "Can't even my own sister be allowed? If I didn't come to visit all the time, no one would even know if my brother died in the house."

"There's no need to worry about this young lady. The young master's condition is improving, and he won't have any accidents for no reason," a guard who seemed to be the leader said coldly from the doorway.

Jiang Shuxue craned her neck to look inside again, but saw nothing. She snorted, turned around, and left.

"Improving? That's just wishful thinking." Hearing Jiang Shuxue's words, Madam Wei couldn't help but find it amusing.

They're all going to become mute, unable to take care of themselves, and just drooling—who are they trying to scare by spreading this kind of message?

The master is probably extremely anxious and helpless, but he suspects her, so he's just trying to provoke her. She won't fall for it.

“Princess Shouguang doesn’t seem too worried either,” Jiang Shuxue said.

Mr. Wei closed his eyes, revealing an expression of both sympathy and contempt.

"They're all putting on an act; let's see how long they keep it up."

There are still about two weeks until Jiang Shuxue's wedding. At the wedding banquet, let that fool show his face so that everyone knows that the eldest son of the Jiang family is hopeless.

Princess Consort Lu sent a letter to Princess Shouguang.

Princess Shouguang couldn't wait and quickly skimmed through the contents of the letter. Her face froze, her hands trembled slightly, and then she slowly read through the letter from the first word down.

Ye Qiao, from Xiamei Village, Yunzhou. Eighteen years ago, Yin Shi suddenly appeared with a baby in her arms, and for many years she has been treated coldly by the villagers.

"Madam, it seems there's more to the letter," Granny Sun reminded her from the side.

Princess Shouguang turned the paper over and saw a portrait of a young woman, which had been enhanced with colored pens, making it even more lifelike.

She looks about six or seven parts like she did when she was young.

Princess Shouguang stared blankly, her eyes welling up with tears without her realizing it.

Even though it was just a portrait, the natural blood ties between mother and daughter made her feel incredibly close.

"Aunt Sun, was the maid who disappeared from Madam Wei's side back then surnamed Yin?"

"His surname is Yin, and his name is Yin Qiao."

It turns out that Lady Yin also gave her own name to her daughter.

"My daughter, my daughter, my real Shuxue!" Princess Shouguang clutched the letter in her hand, bent over the table and wept, overwhelmed with emotion and grief.

"It's all your mother's fault for not protecting you back then, leaving you to wander outside."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have to suffer in that remote mountain village, but could live a life of wealth and luxury in the capital."

Princess Shouguang felt extremely guilty.

“Madam, there’s no need to blame yourself like this. If Miss had stayed in the courtyard from the beginning, she would have truly had no way to survive,” said Granny Sun.

Princess Shouguang thought about it and realized that even when her daughter came to visit last time, she was still kept in the dark by Wei Shi's scheme.

The letter said that Ye Qiao was on her way to the capital. This time, she was determined to reunite with her daughter, ensure her safety, and give her everything that belonged to her.
