Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, Xue Zhi’s eyes were full of shame. Seeing his expression, Wang Fengyi was stunned.

Xue Zhi did not look at her but instead knelt in front of the old madam, “Grandmother, 1 dares not plead for my mother, but I am willing to take her punishment.”

“Grandmother, and me.”

Then, Xue Zhan also knelt next to his older brother.

Seeing her two sons kneeling on the ground, Wang Fengyi was directly stunned. After a few seconds, she finally said with anger, “What are you doing? Clearly, I’m the one being treated unfairly, why should I be punished?”

“Wang Fengyi, shut up!”

As soon as Wang Fengyi’s words fell, Xue Tao, who was on the side, yelled at her with gloomy eyes.

For so many years, this was the first time Xue Tao had yelled at Wang Fengyi. Although Xue Tao was rough, he was very kind to his family. So even though Wang Fengyi was bossy, Xue Tao had never yelled at her.

But today, knowing that she had poisoned his mother, Xue Tao could not accept it.

However, it seemed that Wang Fengyi still did not understand the situation. Hearing Xue Tao’s yell, her face turned uglier aand stared at Xue Tao coldly. “Xue Tao, you dare yell at me, you…”

“I will not only yell at you, but also divorce you.”

Xue Tao interrupted her before she finished.

Upon hearing this, Wang Fengyi was stunned. After a few seconds of silence, her eyes showed a trace of panic.

But looking at Xue Taom she said angrily,”You want to divorce me? On what grounds can you divorce me?”

“Because you poisoned your mother-in-law.”

“You…”

Hearing this, Wang Fengyi wanted to retort subconsciously but couldn’t find any words to rebut.

And Xue Zhi and Xue Zhan, who were kneeling on the ground, heard these words and quickly kowtowed to Xue Tao, “Father, please calm down.”

Even though they knew their mother’s faults, she was still their mother. They had to do something.

Seeing his two sons, Xue Tao also couldn’t say anything harsh. He could only kneel beside his two sons and say to the old Madam Xue, “Mother, I’ve failed you.”

Old Madam Xue had been silent all along.

It was only then that she looked at Wang Fengyi and said, “You said I favored Yunniang and was unfair to you, so let me ask you a few questions.”

“Since you married into the Xue family, has anyone treated you badly?”

“Nobody did anything to me, but…”

“You only need to answer my question.”

Before Wang Fengyi could finish her sentence, the old madam interrupted her.

Facing the old madam, Wang Fengyi shook her head, “No.”

“Whether it is towards me, your mother-in-law, or your husband, you always have a fault-finding attitude. Have we ever argued with you?”

Of course not. Although Old Madam Xue didn’t treat her as well as Xu Yunniang, she had never made things difficult for her. As for Xue Tao, he had the principle of not arguing with women.

“No.”

“Wang Fengyi, you think your Wang family is superior and feel wronged marrying into the Xue family. But have you ever thought why, among many daughters in the Wang family, your parents chose you to marry into the Xue family?”

“Isn’t it because you were not the favored child in the Wang family? Your mother had three daughters; your elder sister is the apple of your parents’ eyes, your younger sister is the child of their old age, only you were not cherished by your parents.”

“When your mother was pregnant with you, she was happy, thinking you were a boy. But when you turned out to be a girl, your parents were disappointed.”

“Originally, I didn’t want to say these things. But since today’s incident has escalated to this, 1 might as well tell you directly, it was not the Xue family who proposed marriage, but your mother who took the initiative to find me. Because if any prestigious family wanted to marry a daughter of the Wang family, they would first consider your elder sister, then your younger sister, but never you.”

“Now, do you still feel wronged?”

Although Old Madam Xue’s voice wasn’t loud, each word was like a knife, hurting Wang Fengyi’s deeply.

Her face went pale instantly. She looked at Old Madam Xue, wanted to say something, but couldn’t.

At this moment, Old Madam Xue continued, “If you don’t want to stay in the Xue family, you can divorce Xue Tao…”

“No, I will never divorce.”

Hearing the word “divorce,” Wang Fengyi’s eyes were filled with panic, as if she had realized something. She quickly knelt down, looking at Old Madam Xue, she said in fear, “Mother, please spare me this time, don’t make me divorce my husband, even if it’s for the sake of All Zhi and All Zhan.”

When Wang Fengyi mentioned Xue Zhi and Xue Zhan, Old Madam Xue eyes soften a little.

After a moment of silence, she looked at Wang Fengyi and said, “For the sake of your two sons, let’s forget about today’s incident, but I want you to stay in the family temple for three months.”

“Mother?”

When Wang Fengyi heard the first part of Old Madam Xue’s sentence, she let out a sigh of relief. But when she heard the last part, she immediately frowned.

Old Madam Xue continued, “In three months, if you haven’t changed, you’ll stay there longer.”

“Oh yes, I see that Xue Ru, that girl, has also become a bit too arrogant due to your upbringing. Let her go with you, at least she can take care of you.”

No one commented on Old Madam Xue’s decision, but Jiang Peihuan thought it was because Xue Ru went to see Xiao Nanye the night before.

“Alright, you all can go, Huan Er, stay with me.”

Everyone looked worried, but seeing Old Madam Xue was tired, they didn’t say anything.

Everyone in the Xue family slowly left Old Madam Xue’s courtyard, only Jiang Peihuan walked to Old Madam Xue’s side, sat down on the couch at her feet, reached out and held Old Madam Xue’s hand, “Grandma, I’m not bothered about my cousin’s issues.”

“Because you aren’t, 1 have to do this.”

“Although King Cheng pardoned Xue Ru for your sake, the Xue family can’t slow you down.”

As she spoke, Old Madam Xue gently patted Jiang Peihuan’s head.

Feeling the warmth of Old Madam Xue’s palm, Jiang Peihuan gently leaned her head against Old Madam Xue’s leg, “Thank you, Grandma.”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Peihuan continued, “Grandmother, you must already know who poisoned you.”

Jiang Peihuan didn’t look at Old Madam Xue’s reaction as she leaned on her
