Chapter 511: Chapter 511 Questioning Mrs. Yun by the Whole Family_1

Besides the younger generation, Old Master Wei also specifically ordered for brothers Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin to be called over.

Today’s palace banquet invited not only imperial relatives and nobility, but also officials of fifth-rank and above. Presently, Wei Yichen is merely a sixth-rank historian at the Hanlin Academy, and thus did not attend.

Therefore, Wei Yichen was unaware of the events that had transpired at today’s palace banquet.

Soon, everyone gathered in the Shou’an Hall.

The impatient Wei Mingyong approached the two elders and asked, “Father, mother, what’s happened?”

Old Master Wei had a serious look on his face that made everyone worried.

“It’s not necessarily bad news, today King Rui and Queen Rui were praised by the Emperor,” Old Master Wei said.

“Then why do both of you have such somber faces? You scared me to death,” Bai couldn’t help but say.

She patted her chest, clearly heaving a sigh of relief.

Old Master Wei ignored Bai and turned to Madame Yun, “Madame Yun, tell me, when did Ruoruo become a disciple of Master Craftsman, and when did she learn these skills?”

Madame Yun was perplexed upon hearing this: “What Master Craftsman?”

“Do you know what King Rui and Queen Rui presented to the Emperor today? They offered Thunderbolt Bullets! And a massive bronze weapon capable of launching them! All these items were created by Ruoruo!”

“How is that possible? How would Ruoruo know about these things? I’ve never heard her mention them, nor have I ever seen her touch these things…” Madame Yun quickly denied.

“Is it possible that today, Ruoruo and King Rui were lying to the Emperor?” Old Master Wei retorted.

“That’s not what I meant…”

“Then do tell, as her mother, how is it possible that you are not aware of your own daughter’s tutorship? Even though she had been living in a different household due to a mistake, shouldn’t you have clarified upon her return? Moreover, you’ve lived together for two years now, haven’t you communicated during this time?” Old Master Wei once again questioned Madame Yun.

“This…” Madame Yun was muddled.

Old Madame Wei couldn’t defend Madame Yun either. “Madame Yun, Ruoruo’s abilities demonstrated this time are beyond our expectations. The devices she created have the potential to resolve the urgent issues of the court! Didn’t you really know about such an important matter before?”

Madame Yun was dizzy, standing there, dazed.

Bai urged Madame Yun, “Madame Yun, do tell us why you never mentioned your niece’s many talents. We could have utilized her talents earlier. It would have been a great achievement for the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence if we were the ones who presented the Thunderbolt Bullet.”

Bai wasn’t just taunting Madame Yun for the sake of watching the drama, she genuinely regretted it.

Wei Minghong couldn’t help but speak: “Exactly, Madame Yun. Ruoruo is your biological daughter, how is it possible that you don’t know about her talents? Or did you deliberately hide it from us?”

Wei Minghong always had doubts about the second and third branches of the family. He always felt that they were plotting something behind his back to take his position.

Now, not only is his niece not helping him, even his brother’s wife is not behaving properly. How could he not suspect?

Madame Yun was getting anxious from all the questions.

She not only had no idea how to answer their questions, but her heart was also fluctuating due to today’s events.

How much more is her daughter hiding from her?

Just as Madame Yun was at a loss about what to say, Wei Yichen stepped in for her.
