Chapter 614: Chapter 614: Exposure

Has the Old Madam gone mad?

The evidence against Elder Yong Cheng was collected by Young Master Qu. Although Elder Yong Cheng deserves his punishment, it was still Young Master Qu who sent him to the Ministry of Justice Prison.

Yet the Old Madam wants the cousin to marry the legitimate daughter of Yongcheng Bo Mansion.

Even if she wants to save the remaining heir of Elder Yong Cheng, there’s no need to do so in this manner.

Is she trying to ensure that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice Mansion never has peace again?

Has the Old Madam lost her mind?

The Grand-Aunt firmly refused.

There was absolutely no room for negotiation.

She would rather her son never marries than let Chen Jiao through the door.

Seeing her refusal, the Old Madam said, "I was merely suggesting it. If you’re unwilling, then let it be."

Lanzhi served tea to Young Master Qu.

Young Master Qu raised the cup, ready to take a sip.

The teacup was already at his lips when Mrs. Wang rushed over and knocked it over.

This happened too quickly, and before Young Master Qu could react, he was left holding only the saucer.

The cup shattered on the ground, and where the tea spilled, bubbles fizzed. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"The tea is poisoned!" Bi Zhu shouted.

The Grand-Aunt stood up in shock.

Compared to the shock of the Grand-Aunt and Young Master Qu, the expression on the Old Madam’s face was truly terrifying.

Mrs. Wang is actually alive?!

Didn’t Lanzhi swear she was dead?!

Why is she alive, and why has she entered Qihao Hall?!

"Drag her away and beat her to death with sticks!" the Old Madam screamed hysterically.

Mrs. Wang fell to her knees with a thud before the Grand-Aunt.

"Grand-Aunt, I have wronged you," Mrs. Wang cried.

The Grand-Aunt was bewildered.

She had just saved her son’s life, how had she wronged her?

Mrs. Wang had always treated her well and had been missing for a long time, so it was impossible that she was trying to poison her son.

Perplexed, she heard Mrs. Wang pointing to the Old Madam, "She is not your biological mother, she is the Old Madam’s twin sister!"

Mrs. Wang’s words were like a bolt from the blue.

Not only did they stun everyone in the room, but they also shocked Su Jin and Xie Jingchen, who had just arrived.

How could she be a twin sister?

But looking at the tea that corroded the carpet, Su Jin finally understood why Mrs. Wang didn’t care for her life.

She had served the Old Madam for decades and understood the Old Madam.

Young Master Qu’s discovery of Elder Yong Cheng’s embezzlement evidence led to his imprisonment and eventual death in the Ministry of Justice Prison.

The Old Madam had specifically sought him out to avenge her son.

Mrs. Wang had rushed in to save the cousin’s life.

However, the tea wasn’t immediately lethal, and it would take a few days for the poison to result in death.

Had Young Master Qu truly been poisoned and subsequently died after a few days, no one would have suspected that it was the grandmother who wanted to kill her own grandson.

The Old Madam angrily exclaimed, "This madwoman is spouting nonsense!"

"Are you not going to drag her out and beat her to death?!"

Indeed, two older women came in to drag Mrs. Wang away.

It was, after all, Qihao Hall, the Old Madam’s domain.

In Qihao Hall, the Old Madam’s word was law.

Xie Jingchen coldly stated, "Let’s see who dares!"

His voice was chilling and carried an unprecedented authority that truly intimidated the two women from moving.

The Old Madam looked at Xie Jingchen, her gaze cold and terrifying, "Do you dare?!"

"I naturally do not dare, but what Mrs. Wang said is too serious. Her life cannot be touched until the matter is clarified!" Xie Jingchen’s voice was resolute.

The Grand-Aunt looked at Mrs. Wang, her voice trembling, "Is Wang Mama jesting about something this serious?"

Though she never felt the Old Madam was particularly affectionate, the Grand-Aunt also never suspected the Old Madam was a fake.

She never knew her mother had a twin sister, that she had an aunt.

Crying, Mrs. Wang said, "It was my negligence that failed to notice more than thirty years ago, after the Old Madam gave birth to you at the Great Buddha Temple, she was swapped in an accident with a carriage."

"She claimed to have lost her memory, and I didn’t think much of it."

"Only a few days ago at the Great Buddha Temple, when the Princess Consort Ning gave birth to twin daughters, did I realize that she was the grand-aunt who eloped, the biological mother of Elder Yong Cheng!"

"The grand-aunt eloped, the Wang Family was too ashamed to mention her, even moving the entire family because of her. All these years, I always thought she had died, never imagined she was right under my nose the whole time!"

Mrs. Wang was overcome with sorrow.

She prided herself on her loyalty to the master.

Ridiculously, the master was swapped right under her nose, and it took until now to discover it.

More than thirty years.

She had served the Old Madam longer than serving an enemy.

She felt deserving of her death.

Mrs. Wang wept uncontrollably, her grief moved even Su Jin.

Mrs. Wang was genuinely remorseful and repentant.

As she cried, Mrs. Wang fainted.

"Mrs. Wang!" Hongxiu called out anxiously.

The Old Madam collapsed onto the Arhat Couch.

The Third Madam’s face was extremely unsightly.

She hadn’t overlooked Mrs. Wang’s words from earlier.

The Old Madam was swapped after giving birth to the Grand-Aunt, meaning the Third Master isn’t truly born of the Old Madam?

Though Mrs. Wang had fainted, everyone was still digesting her rapid series of claims.

Hongxiu and Bi Zhu helped Mrs. Wang to a seat on the side.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a long while, the Grand-Aunt, her eyes red, looked at the Old Madam and asked, "Is what Mrs. Wang said really true?!"

The Old Madam’s face was ashen, pointing at Mrs. Wang, "Would you trust the words of a base maid over your own mother?!"

The Grand-Aunt laughed through her tears.

Mother?

Just moments ago, her mother wanted her son to marry the daughter of a criminal.

Refusing, a maid served a cup of poisoned tea.

Mrs. Wang is a maid.

Yet it was this maid who just saved her son!

The Grand-Aunt’s mind was in turmoil; the matters Mrs. Wang spoke of were things she had never heard of before, things she had never even dreamed of.

All her life, she felt Mrs. Wang treated her more dearly, far more than the Old Madam.

Mrs. Wang claimed that Elder Yong Cheng was her real son.

The Grand-Aunt was unwilling to believe it.

But facts didn’t allow her disbelief!

Since Elder Yong Cheng’s imprisonment, the Old Madam had summoned her back twice, admonishing her both times for being ungrateful.

The day before yesterday, she was summoned with Mingming; she knew it was to be scolded. She was willing to take the scolding but didn’t want her son to be the same.

She thought by stalling, she might not have to come.

For the past three days, the Old Madam sent people for her daily, and she couldn’t delay any longer and had no choice but to come.

Who would have thought...

The Grand-Aunt was sobbing uncontrollably.

The Third Madam walked over, handing a handkerchief to the Grand-Aunt, "You’re taking a maid’s words to heart?"

"Mrs. Wang went missing at the Great Buddha Temple a few days ago, and now she suddenly appears—whether it’s real or fake, who knows."

"You don’t want to fall into someone’s trap and hurt the Old Madam’s feelings."

Su Jin was reluctant to take the comment personally.

But she couldn’t ignore the Third Madam’s glance at her when she mentioned ulterior motives.

Mrs. Wang was supported in by Bi Zhu.

Bi Zhu was the first maid from the Prince Zhenbei Mansion Su Jin trusted when she entered the Agarwood Pavilion.

To claim she had nothing to do with it, nobody would believe it.

Of course, Su Jin wouldn’t deign to explain to the Third Madam and others.

At this moment, the Third Master came in.
