Chapter 331: Chapter 331 Wei Qingwan Begs for Mercy and Admits Her Mistake_l

“There’s no need to seek out the owner of the embroidery shop. I am the most suitable witness.” Wei Yichen stated.

Wei Qingwan’s knees softened at Wei Yichen’s words, her face pale.

“What do you mean by that, Yichen?” Madam Yun asked nervously.

“What I mean is that what Ruoruo said is true. Our younger sister indeed had a clandestine meeting with a man and consequently got entangled in a dispute. I ended up in the thieves’ den while rescuing her.” Wei Yichen responded.

These few words made Madam Yun’s head spin and her vision blur.

“This… this…” Madam Yun gazed at Wei Yichen, then at Wei Qingwan, unable to digest the reality.

“Impossible. Wanwan wouldn’t do such a thing!” Madam Yun denied impulsively.

“I saw it with my own eyes and there isn’t a shred of falsehood. Or does Mother think I am lying about wronging my younger sister?”

Wei Yichen’s face was calm, his eyes devoid of ripples as he calmly refuted the panicked Madam Yun.

“Yichen…” Madam Yun was at a loss for words. If someone like her eldest daughter had said these things, she would have doubted it. But these words came from her legitimate eldest son.

Wanwan wouldn’t lie to her, and Yichen certainly wouldn’t lie to her!

After pondering for a while, Madam Yun asked, “But…if that’s the case, why did Wanwan return long before you, and you were only rescued yesterday?”

Wei Yichen showed no emotion, “Because that night, my sister’s beau was saved and they both fled together. She feared that if I were to get out, I would expose their affair and so she chose to abandon me.”

Wei Yichen said this very calmly, his expression devoid of any emotion, as if stating someone else’s business.

This calmness surprised even Wei Ruo, as it was not the Wei Yichen she knew.

Wei Yichen’s words were another blow to Madam Yun.

Her sweet and sensible daughter, not only secretly met a man but also left her brother’s life hanging in the balance?

It was more than just failing to uphold female virtues, it was downright inhuman!

Madam Yun looked at Wei Qingwan in disbelief.

Wei Qingwan had collapsed on the ground sobbing, “Mother, elder brother, that’s not the case. It really isn’t. I was scared out of my wits that day and was taken away in a daze. I didn’t mean to hurt my elder brother!”

“So…you indeed met a man in secret and got your elder brother caught by bandits while rescuing you? You managed to escape but left your elder brother in that dangerous place?”

Madam Yun stumbled a couple of steps, nearly falling, but was supported by Wei Mingting.

“Cuiping, help Madam back to her room to rest.” said Wei Mingting.

“My lord…” Madam Yun looked at Wei Mingting in surprise.

“Madam, you’ve tired yourself today. Let me handle the rest.” said Wei Mingting.

Madam Yun shook her head. She did not want to just walk away like this. She needed to clarify what had happened!
