Chapter: 057 out of 513 – The savior arrives in time (2)

“Mother.” Ning Yuxuan retracted part of his anger, saluted, and said, “Your son is currently questioning about the matter of Qing-er falling into the water yesterday.”

“This is what you call questioning?” Old madame looked at him sternly and said, “I clearly only heard you convicting Sangyu. Sangyu, do you accept this?”

Ji Man felt that the original novel’s vicious mother-in-law was truly too lovely. She almost wanted to cry in grat.i.tude. She hurriedly responded to old madame’s words by yelling out, “I don’t!”

Her life had finally improved and they wanted to drive her back to her original state? No way!

Old madame glanced at Sangyu to indicate for her to keep calm and to not get excited. Then, she immediately asked, “Xuan-er, how were you questioning earlier? Show me.”

Ning Yuxuan knew that his mother would protect Nie Sangyu no matter what. But, the facts couldn’t be changed. Nie Sangyu had committed a crime. He didn’t believe that anyone could invert right and wrong.

And so, he had the servant girls repeat their earlier actions and had everyone close their eyes.

Old madame didn’t close her eyes and watched the five servant girls in the back with Marquis Moyu. However, this time, none of the five

servant girls dared to point.

“So this is the method that Xuan-er used to question?” Old madame smiled, but her eyes severely looked at Ning Yuxuan.

Marquis Moyu pursed his lips and said, “It’s probably because mother is too biased in favor of Sangyu, so they didn’t dare to point.”

“Oh?” Old madame chuckled. “Then Xuan-er, have you been biased enough in favor of Wen Wan?”

Stunned, Marquis Moyu lowered his eyes and stayed silent.

“My household’s rules are strict and won’t allow for the preposterous idea of having the servants decide their master’s crime.” Old madame’s expression was upright as she said, “Can you ensure that these servant girls don’t have selfish motives? Sangyu has been married to you for six years, before you even had your adulthood ceremony. It’s one thing for you to be indifferent towards her. But now, you’re going to convict her because of other people’s slanderous words?”

By the side, Wen Wan’s face turned red, then white as she listened to these words. Old madame’s words made it sound like Sangyu was her daughter-in-law, while she continued to be an unacknowledged, wild woman. From the time that old madame entered this courtyard, she hadn’t even glanced at her.

This wasn’t a comfortable feeling to experience. She truly liked Ning Yuxuan, so she also wanted

wanted his mother to like her. But, why was it so difficult?
