Chapter 424 - Her Subtle Hint (1/2)
Wang Luo Hai hadn't said anything from the very beginning when he was the person that was supposed to be in charge of handling this matter, and yet, Madam Wang didn't stop from trying to attack Concubine Lan with her verbal argument. Wang Luo Hai was in disbelief because he didn't seem to recognize the aggresive woman in front of him at all.
He had never seen her this way and started to realize that she might have been putting up an act all this time.
Yes, the inner courtyard was under her supervision, but once there was a murder or something complicated like this happened, it was Wang Luo Hai's turn to be in charge. Wang Luo Hai could only shake his head inwardly. Until now, she still wanted to frame another person... She even dared not to give him a chance to talk --- it seemed like she really didn't put him in her eyes at all.
Wang Luo Hai wanted to see how far she would go.
”Master... Master... please help me... Not me... It's really not me...” Concubine Lan was still begging him while sobbing. With Madam Wang's accusations, she could be killed as the punishment ah~! Her only chance of survival was Wang Luo Hai --- she hoped that he could give her the justice that she deserved.
Madam Wang shook her head sadly and said to Concubine Lan --- not giving a chance for Wang Luo Hai to talk at all, ”How could you do this, Concubine Lan? The husband was right in front of us and yet, you dared to kill twice inside this room... This was actually a happy occasion ah~! However, you ruin everything! How... How could you be so cruel?!” She cleverly changed her aggressive voice into a soft and sympathetic one...
Yao Ying, Yao Ling, and Wang Luo Hai who already knew the truth were all looking at her like she was a clown... They were looking at her in amazement. She still dared to say all that despite being the real culprit! If they didn't know better, they would have fallen into her act!
Concubine Wan felt that something wasn't right even though her mind wasn't that bright. She clearly saw that Concubine Lan didn't do anything just now and yet, Madam Wang kept pushing the blame to her. She didn't know whether it was because Madam Wang had a guilty conscience or she just wanted to remove an obstacle? It was quite fishy...
Yao Ling saw Concubine Wan's confusion and saw this as a chance! It would be the time for her to provoke something between them ah~! She already got Wang Luo Hai's permission to clean up Wang Fu, so it should be fine...
Yao Ling quickly said in a worried tone, ”Mother... why don't you sit down and calm yourself down? I'm sure Father will handle this matter well... It's not good for your body to be that agitated.”
The matriarch agreed with Yao Ling. ”You should sit down and let Wang Luo Hai handle this matter...” She warned softly.
