He Miao'er still hadn’t realized the seriousness of the situation. She just wanted to quickly calm the Wei family down, so she continued to explain:
"Lord Wei, Madam Wei, this really isn’t something we made up. If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to Huzhou to investigate. That old gentleman is still alive! My parents really didn’t do it on purpose!"
Madam He quickly followed her daughter’s words to explain: "Yes, yes, back then, I didn’t even know the children were switched. They’re both flesh from my own body; how could I bear to see her suffer? We truly had no choice! And even though she was sent to the countryside at a very young age, we didn’t mistreat her. We gave her five taels of silver every month! Plus, she had a nanny and maids to serve her. Our family isn’t wealthy, and five taels of silver is no small amount!"
Wei Qingwan’s face visibly turned pale. At this moment, she desperately wanted the He family to stop talking.
But she couldn’t bring herself to say it. Anything she said now might make things worse.
The more the He family tried to explain, the darker Wei Mingting and Yun Shi’s expressions became.
Wei Mingting stood up angrily, grabbing the sword hanging on the wall behind him.
With a single pull, the action completely terrified the He family.
They had never seen such a scene before! Lord Wei had served in the military for many years, and countless souls had perished under his blade!"Lord Wei, please calm down! Lord Wei, please calm down!"
The three members of the He family knelt on the ground, continuously begging for mercy.
When Wei Mingtang thought of his daughter being sent to the countryside at just three years old, his grip on the sword tightened even more.
Yun Shi, still holding onto reason, stepped forward to stop him: "Husband, you mustn’t..."
As detestable as the He family was, if her husband were to kill them now, he would be sent to the authorities.
Even as a commander, he could not arbitrarily execute commoners in his home.
Wei Mingting pointed his sword at the He couple and said coldly, "I never want to see you again! Get out of the Wei residence immediately!"
"Yes, yes..."
The three members of the He family scrambled to their feet and stumbled out in a panic, terrified that if they were too slow, their lives would be at risk.
After the He family left, Wei Mingting put away his sword.
Yun Shi stepped forward, her expression filled with worry, and called out, "Husband."
Wei Mingting spoke in a heavy tone, "Who knows how much suffering and hardship Ruo'er has endured all these years. If it weren’t for Jinyi going to Huzhou to study, we would still be in the dark, deceived by the He family."
Yun Shi’s heart was also heavy. Her own flesh and blood had been treated so poorly by the He family and kept in the dark by them.
Yun Shi said sadly, "Why didn’t Ruo’er tell us about this?"
Wei Mingting blamed himself as he replied, "It must be because we didn’t earn her trust, which is why she was unwilling to tell us."
Yun Shi lowered her eyes, feeling a weight pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
Then Yun Shi turned to look at Wei Qingwan, and in an instant, the words the He family had said earlier flooded her mind.
If what the He family said was true, then the one the fortune-teller claimed would bring disaster and cause the death of both parents was none other than their Wanwan!
Noticing Yun Shi looking at her, Wei Qingwan nervously raised her head. "Mother…"
"Go back to Wangmei Garden for now," Yun Shi said to Wei Qingwan.
Her mind was in turmoil, and she didn’t know what to say to Wanwan at the moment.
"Mother…" Wei Qingwan looked at Yun Shi with reluctance.
"Go on for now. Your father and I still have things to discuss," Yun Shi said.
"Yes… Daughter will take her leave…"
Wei Qingwan walked away with heavy steps, reluctant to leave.
Back in Wangmei Garden, Wei Qingwan broke down in tears.
