Chapter 489: Chapter 489 Is She an Incompetent Mother?_1

Old Master Wei thought that if they had known about these matters earlier, it might have been of some help to the Wei Family.

Madam Yun felt uneasy when questioned and whispered, “I neglected my duties.”

Old Master Wei scolded her, “I thought you were an insightful person, you have disappointed my trust in you!”

Madam Yun had no choice but to admit her guilt, “It’s my fault.”

Madam Bai chuckled in her heart. She had long been disgusted by Madam Yun. She used to be the one scolded by her parents while Madam Yun was praised. Now, it was finally Madam Yun’s turn to be criticized.

Seeing this, the Old Madam Wei stepped in to smooth things over. “Enough, enough. We should not blame the third daughter-in-law anymore. Speaking more about this now is useless. Having some skills can only be a good thing for Ruoruo. It may have been destined. After all, King Rui is seriously ill, and she knows medical skills. They might be a match made in heaven.”

Then, Old Madam Wei spoke to everyone, “It’s already late. With all the events that happened today, everyone must be tired. Therefore, let’s end here. Everyone should return to their residences for rest, and we will discuss other matters tomorrow.”

With the Old Madam’s declaration, everyone took their leave.

Madam Yun left Shou’an Hall with a heavy heart.

The old Master’s questioning replayed over and over again in her mind.

DId she really fail in her duties, so much so that she knew so little about her own daughter?

Was she incompetent as a mother?

Were there many other things that her own daughter was hiding from her?

Then, Madam Yun recalled the scene of her daughter treating the wounded today, and she began to think her husband was right to say that their daughter was like him.

Lost in her thoughts, Madam Yun unknowingly slowed her steps.

Madam Bai and Wei Qingwan caught up with her. Seeing Madam Yun deep in thought, Madam Bai said to her:

“Third sister-in-law, you should find time to visit Queen Rui and ask her how much she is still hiding from us. The Wei family is her natal family. We ought to support each other. This sort of defensive attitude towards us, what good does it bring to her?”

Madam Bai’s tone was filled with obvious sarcasm.

Madam Yun coldly retorted, “Elder sister-in-law is overthinking. Ruoruo only has some skills and a few friends. It’s not like she’s hiding a conspiracy against her own family.”

Madam Bai replied, “I might not care, but I fear she will start making trouble everywhere, now that she has some abilities. If she treats people indiscriminately with her knowledge of medicine and makes a mistake, it will bring disaster to our Wei family. In the end, we would not get any benefits but be implicated by her.”

“Rest assured, elder sister-in-law, I believe Ruoruo can discern what’s crucial. Besides, if my daughter causes any trouble, it will only affect her father and me, you and second elder brother won’t be implicated.”

Madam Yun replied, her gaze falling on Wei Qingwan standing beside Madam Bai.

“Wanwan, come with me to Anxin Garden.” Madam Yun said.

Wei Qingwan didn’t move and instead softly replied, “Mother, it’s late. We are both tired. Why not let us rest earlier? I will go to Anxin Garden another day.”

“Are you reluctant to go?”

“Mother, I already said I’m tired. I will visit you another day.” Wei Qingwan explained.

“Fine, fine!” Madam Yun smirked derisively and pathetically.
