Cold-faced Empress

At this moment, whether it was due to the previous strenuous running or the shock, Wei Lanling's bleeding exceeded the capacity of her menstrual belt. Menstrual blood flowed down her legs, slowly seeping into her shoes and socks.

The old woman, Wang, noticed blood on Wei Lanling's ankle and, without thinking, cried out, "My dear granddaughter is injured! Quickly, call a doctor!"

Wei Lanling was completely bewildered. Just as she was about to say that she was not injured, she looked down in the direction pointed by the old woman Wang and realized that she had made a huge fool of herself!

"I'm not hurt!"

"Blood is flowing out, and you're not even injured?" Old Woman Wang shouted, brandishing her claws. "The Prime Minister's wife won't call a doctor for us! She's just watching us die!"

"Grandma, please stop talking!" Wei Lanling was in a very awkward situation, having to worry about her own embarrassing state while also stopping the old woman Wang from shouting.

Finally, it was Li Shi who pulled Wang Laoyu aside and whispered a few words to her, and Wang Laoyu calmed down. Yun Jian, the maid who was temporarily serving Wei Shi and her daughter, also told Li Shi that her cousin was menstruating.

Upon hearing that it was Wei Lanling who had menstruated, Madam Li showed no mercy to Wei Lanling and immediately angrily retorted in front of everyone, "You're menstruating, and you smell of blood all over you. No wonder the snakes were drawn to you! How can you take your anger out on someone else?!"

Wei Lanling was mortified: "I...I!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood. So that's why the snakes only followed Miss Biao!

Even though it was clearly their own fault, they kept crying and claiming that someone was deliberately framing them.

Faced with the still terrified Wei mother and daughter, and the old woman Wang who was still muttering curses under her breath, Madam Fu, Li, coldly ordered her maid to take them back to their room to rest.

Wei Lanling, on the verge of tears, said, "Uncle and Aunt, please don't be angry, I...we..."

Madam Li gave her an even harsher look: "No need to say more! Since you came to my Fu family, you have been frightened and wronged time and time again due to accidents. It is because my Fu family has not taken good care of you. But you should not point the finger at Siying every time and suspect that she is the one who did bad things! You always ask why Siying would harm you when you have no grudge against her. Today I also want to ask, since you have no grudge against her, why do you always slander Siying!"

"Elder sister!" Little Li exclaimed in a panic, "No, no, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Wei Lanling knelt down at Li's feet with a full sense of remorse: "Yes, it was all a misunderstanding! Aunt, cousin, I was wrong. I judged you with my own petty mind. Please forgive me, Aunt and cousin. It will never happen again!"

Fu Siying, who was being begged for forgiveness by Wei Lanling, glanced at her mother with disdain and didn't say anything, only keeping an eye on her mother's expression out of the corner of her eye.

Madam Li was slightly moved by Wei Lanling's tearful apology, but she maintained her cold demeanor: "Enough. We have guests in the manor later, so you should all go back to your rooms and rest now!"

After saying this, he ordered his servants to forcibly take Wei Lanling and the other two away.

"This place is definitely haunted!"

Hearing Old Woman Wang cursing as she walked away, Fu Siying watched their retreating figures and slightly curled her lips.

Suddenly, feeling her hand being gripped tightly, Fu Siying turned around and saw Li angrily saying, "What's so interesting about them!"

“Hehe,” Fu Siying chuckled, “Mother is unusually steadfast in her compassion.” At that moment, her heart felt inexplicably warm.

Madam Li frowned deeply: "After what happened today, if Mother is still soft-hearted, then she's been blinded by greed! It's too bizarre. Such a tightly sealed basket, yet it was gnawed open by rats, allowing the snakes to go through the rat hole to the small garden. So many people, and it just so happened that only your cousin was on her, attracting the snakes. No matter how hard we tried to kill them, we couldn't get rid of them all, but when the high monk sprinkled some holy water, the snakes immediately died out."
