Caiwei had naturally heard of Song Ruozhen's abilities; when the news first broke, it was the talk of the entire capital.

At that time, she was the person she believed the most, thinking that Miss Song was a fairy reincarnated. Although the same thing did not happen later, and some people guessed that the previous events were just a coincidence, she firmly believed it.

She was completely panicked after what happened today, and she was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Song Ruozhen's words undoubtedly broke the last string that had been taut in her heart!

"It was the second madam who told me to do this!"

"The Second Madam was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Young Master Yuanwu was kicked out, and harbored resentment in her heart, which is why she came up with this method!"

With a deathly pale face, Caiwei confessed to the Second Madam, pleading, "Master, Madam, please, please give me a way out!"

I really had no choice. My indenture was in the hands of the Second Madam. If I didn't do as she said, she would sell me to a brothel.

Caiwei was in tears, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for mercy.

Upon hearing these words, Madam Ruan's eyes swept sharply over the Second Madam. "Now what do you have to say?"

The second wife never expected that Caiwei would be afraid of Song Ruozhen. She didn't think that this woman really had such powerful abilities. But now that Caiwei had confessed, it was useless for her to argue anymore!

"Yes, it was me, so what?"

The second wife sneered, her eyes full of sarcasm, "All along, your first wife's family has been superior to our second wife's family. You are all high and mighty, while we are all groveling."

We're all family, yet we have to look up to you in everything. I can forgive all that, but you know Yuanwu is my son, and you still want to drive him out!

"Don't you know that once Yuan Wu is driven out, his life is over?"

The second wife's eyes were bloodshot and filled with resentment. She only had one son, Yuanwu, who was her life!

Now, not only has he been kicked out, but the Ruan family has also shown him no respect, spreading the news far and wide. How can Yuan Wu possibly have the face to stay in the capital city after this?

They're practically driving him to the brink of despair!

“It was Yuanwu who harmed my son first. If he hadn’t come up with such a vicious idea himself, why would we have kicked him out?”

"That's because Ruan Lingfeng is stupid!"

The second wife gritted her teeth and looked at Ruan Lingfeng, "It's his own stupidity! He can't even tell the difference between his savior and his son. My son is better than him in every way, but just because he was born to our second wife, he has to be subservient to this fool in every way!"

If you were in that situation, could you have swallowed this insult?

"You have harmed your own brothers, and now you want to blame it all on us?"

Incredulity flashed in Madam Ruan's eyes. She simply couldn't believe that the Second Madam could say such a thing so confidently. It was ridiculous!

"Over the years, we have taken care of you in every way, thinking we have done everything we could for you, but you actually think we are the ones who are suppressing you?"

At this moment, Grand Tutor Ruan looked coldly at the Second Madam, "With a mother like this, it's no wonder she could raise such a vicious son as Yuanwu!"

The Second Madam, who had been so self-righteous, was suddenly startled when she heard Grand Tutor Ruan's words.

She was still very afraid of Grand Tutor Ruan.

"What do you say?" Grand Tutor Ruan's gaze fell on the second master of the Ruan family.

Everyone understood from Grand Tutor Ruan's attitude that he was always ruthless and taciturn, and too lazy to argue with the Second Madam.

However, the Ruan family absolutely cannot tolerate a second wife.

The second master of the Ruan family knew his father's temperament better than anyone else. This was a question asking him whether he should divorce his wife or get out of the house himself.

He looked at his wife beside him. They had been together for so many years, and the family had originally lived a good life.

Yuanwu simply took the wrong path, leading to this mess. One wrong step led to another, and now he's ended up in this state...

He cannot leave the Ruan family!

Once they leave the Ruan family, they will have nothing. Given their father's temperament, he will likely expel them from the family register. No matter how miserable their lives become, their father will never help them in the slightest.

Thinking of this, the second master of the Ruan family hardened his heart and said:

"Father, I really didn't know she would do something so outrageous. If I had known, I would have definitely stopped her!"

When the second wife saw his attitude, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the person beside her in disbelief.

Are you abandoning me?

Why would you do such a heinous thing?

The second master of the Ruan family was heartbroken. "Yuanwu made a huge mistake before. We should be trying to make it up to the eldest son's family, but you are going further and further down the wrong path!"

No wonder Yuanwu has become like this. From this day forward, I no longer have you as my wife!

"You want to divorce your wife?"

The second wife seemed to have been suddenly struck by a tremendous shock, grabbing the second master of the Ruan family's clothes with both hands, "I am your first wife, how could you treat me like this?"

"It's your own fault!"

The second master of the Ruan family was extremely firm in his stance, saying, "I will write a letter of divorce immediately, and that's what you deserve!"

As the truth was revealed—that the second wife had deliberately stirred up trouble—everyone showed surprise.

The second branch of the Ruan family has gone mad. Jealous of the first branch, they actually tried to ruin a girl's reputation, and they almost succeeded!

If it really happens, Ruan Niantang's reputation will be completely ruined. However, usually it's one thing to target men, but how heartless would one have to be to target a girl who is about to be married?

Song Ruozhen looked at the second master of the Ruan family with a calm expression. She didn't believe that he would be completely unaware of what his wife and son had done.

It would be impossible to say that the second master of the Ruan family had no ambition at all. It is normal to have ambition, but one must also have the corresponding strength.

If you lack real strength and only resort to underhanded tactics, then you are truly despicable.

"If it was the second branch of the Ruan family that deliberately framed him, then what about Young Master Ling? Could these letters have been written by the second wife of the Ruan family?"

One person in the crowd spoke up curiously: "If that's really the case, then it's ridiculous!"

Everyone looked at Ling Yuchen, their eyes filled with undisguised amusement.

He had always thought that the person he confided in was the delicate and gentle Miss Ruan, but who would have thought that she was actually his second wife, who was old enough to be his elder? He even came to propose marriage today. Wasn't he just being played with like a puppet?

That's truly foolish!

Ling Yuchen was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he almost ground his back teeth to powder. He glared fiercely at the Second Madam.

This woman's scheme has actually harmed him as well. Now that the news has spread, he's likely to become the laughingstock of the entire capital!

Madam Ling's expression was also unpleasant, but she didn't say anything at the moment. Saying anything would be inappropriate, so she could only suffer in silence.

After all, it's either a conspiracy to frame someone, or it's simply stupidity.

It can only be the latter.
