Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Do You Know About Sin_l

Translator: 549690339

After 20 years of marriage, it was Wei Mingting’s first time to speak such harsh words to Mrs Yun.

Mrs Yun’s body trembled, her eyes full of tears, “My Lord, after so many years of marriage, don’t you know what kind of person I am? How could I plot to harm a concubine’s son? I admit I can’t treat him as my own, I can be magnanimous in other ways, but I just couldn’t bring myself to be so with you”.

Mrs Yun continued: “But so many years have passed since then, even if I held a grudge it should have almost been resolved by now, how could I harbor any intention of harming him? My Lord, I was not planning to harm him, I was misled by my deceitful servants.”

“You… You are really confused!”

“Your concubine knows… I know I was wrong…” Mrs Yun trembled as she responded.

Wei Mingting’s anger subsided at the sound of Mrs Yun’s sobbing.

Looking at his wife, Wei Mingting sighed, “I have considerable military affairs to deal with, and I still need your help with household management. You must take more care of Jinyi, nothing can happen to him.”

Thinking of his busy military schedule and how the burdens of household chores fell onto his fragile wife, he knew that although his wife hadn’t been the most affectionate to the concubine’s son over the years, she had given Jinyi what he deserved. Wei Mingting thus refrained from reprimanding his wife any further.

Mrs Yun sobbed and nodded.

“Let us leave today’s matters at this. You tend to Jinyi for me, I have more matters to attend to in the military.” Wei Mingting rose to leave without waiting for Mrs Yun to regain her composure.

He was indeed very busy. After receiving the letter from Jing Hu, he had asked a subordinate to stand in for him so he could rush home before the dawn.

Even then, he had to return immediately.

After Wei Mingting left, Mrs Yun regained her composure, and when she managed to calm herself, she called for Granny Li once again.

At the same time, she sent Cuiping to bring Wei Ruo from the firewood house.

Granny Li, not knowing what had happened, was alarmed when she saw Mrs Yun’s angry face upon arriving at Cangyun Garden.

Shortly after, Wei Ruo arrived.

Seeing Granny Li being brought in, Mrs Yun spoke in a cold voice, “Granny Li, you were an old servant from the Loyal and Righteous Duke Residence. Whether in terms of experience or seniority, you are the highest-ranked in the Military Prefecture.”

“Madam, I dare not.” Granny Li hastily replied.

“You dare not? Where do you not dare? You have repeatedly told me that the young lord’s illness was not severe, and that Ruoruo was making a fuss. But what was the result? The young lord is now barely alive!”

Upon hearing this, Granny Li froze.

What? Was the young lord really that ill?

After being shocked, Granny Li knelt down and apologized, “Madam, pardon me, I really didn’t know that the young lord was so ill! I made a misjudgment, I should die!”

“You didn’t know? Do you still have the nerve to say you didn’t know? If you didn’t know, how could you not call a doctor? If you did not know, why did you insist he was not ill? Who gave you the audacity to make decisions on your own?”

“I… I…” Granny Li stammered, unable to find a good excuse for herself.

Wei Ruo was also a bit surprised. Was Wei Jinyi’s life in danger? It would be plausible if she did not treat him last night, but after last night’s treatment, as long as he rested properly, he should have recovered this morning and it should not have been a critical situation.

Mrs Yun’s gaze shifted to Wei Ruo, becoming complex.
