Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Making a Big Deal Out of It_1
After Wei Ruo got married, she always brought a lot of people with her when she returned to the Wei Family. This was both meant to show power and provide protection if anything went wrong. This time, the people she brought indeed proved to be useful.
The old Madam Wei looked at the entourage and sighed, “Can’t Queen Rui show a little leniency for the sake of this old woman?”
Wei Ruo looked at the old madam and felt moved. She knew what the old madam was worried about, but there were some things she had to do that day.
She had already planned to take this opportunity to distance herself from Wei Qingwan and the others from the second household, so creating a fuss this time could serve as a good chance.
The old Madam Wei continued, “Today is the day of your grandfather’s 70th birthday. He really cares about the family’s reputation. If this matter gets out, it will have a big impact on him, considering his delicate health condition. You should leave this matter to me to deal with. If it is proven that the Bai Family woman is indeed causing trouble without good reason, I will let your uncle divorce her.”
Wei Ruo was about to make it clear that she wouldn’t go easy, but suddenly there was a noise from outside.
“Old madam, Third young master is here!”
The guard standing at the entrance yelled into the room, unsure if he should open the door for the third young master.
“Yichen? Why has this boy come?”
The old Madam Wei expressed both surprise and doubt. She didn’t even have time to consider whether to let Wei Yichen in. The door that was originally closed had been forcefully opened from outside.
Wei Yichen broke through the door and entered, followed by a group of guards.
Seeing him walk briskly towards the room, the old Madam Wei asked, “Yichen, why have you come?”
“Grandmother, I heard that someone was being mischievous in the backyard today. So, I am here to catch her,” Wei Yichen respectfully replied, clasping his hands in a fist.
But his face was stern, and his eyes were cold as ice.
The old Madam Wei, Lady Yun, and Lady Bai were all taken aback.
Even Wei Ruo was surprised. How did Wei Yichen come here?
After the incident, Lady Yun immediately sealed off the news. How did the menfolk who were in the front courtyard drinking and chatting know what was happening in the backyard?
The old Madam Wei inquired further, “Arrest someone? Who are you arresting? Where are you taking them to?”
Wei Yichen answered, “Arrest Bai, who was causing harm to others by using drugs in the backyard, and take her to the Government Office for fair treatment.”
“What?” the old Madam Wei, Lady Yun, and Bai were once again shocked.
Wei Yichen was asking for exactly the same thing as Wei Ruo!
Lady Yun scolded loudly, “Yichen, why are you causing trouble too? Reporting this to the officers will ruin the face of our Wei Family. Besides that, your sister will no longer have the courage to stay at King Yu’s residence. Are you trying to destroy the Wei Family?”
It was expected that Wei Ruo, always rebellious, would act without considering the consequences, but how could Wei Yichen have such intentions now?
“People should not do things they wouldn’t want others to know. Reputations aren’t built by covering up but earned through abilities,” Wei Yichen answered emotionlessly.
He then ordered the guards to arrest everyone in the yard.
“Stop! Everyone, stop!” the old Madam Wei scolded.
However, the men brought by Wei Yichen didn’t obey the old madam’s orders.
“You…you don’t even listen to me?” the old Madam Wei was both anxious and angry.
“Grandmother, don’t be hard on them. They are the men sent from the Taizhou prefecture Wei Family to follow us all the way to the north. They are my father’s subordinates and now only listen to my father and me,” Wei Yichen answered.
Finished speaking, Wei Yichen didn’t argue with the old Madam Wei and Lady Yun anymore. He looked on coldly as the people he brought were dragging Bai and Wei Qingwan away.
“Mother, mother, save me!” Bai was terrified and she could only beg the old madam for help.
