Wei Ruo sneered: "I have already said what I want to say. I’m not at fault at all, and I do not admit either of the two accusations you mentioned.
Since you have learned that my second brother is seriously ill and that you have been deceived by the wicked servant and wronged me, then why don't you think about it again? Is there another thing that you have been deceived about?”
"Is this the attitude you take when you speak to your mother? If you were really not at fault, you should have come to me to deal with this after you failed to find Mo mo Li, instead of making a scene at Wangmei Garden!
If you hadn't been reckless, no one would have been hurt, and you wouldn't have alerted your father to rush over in his busy schedule."
Yun Shi was extremely aggrieved today.
Because of this, she angered her husband and was scolded by him. His husband thought that she had mistreated his illegitimate son badly.
"I am not at fault. It was not me who caused the fuss at Wangmei Garden, it was because Mo mo Li did not do what she was supposed to do;
it was not me who alerted Father to come in his busy schedule, it was Mo mo Li who worsen my second brother's condition, and it was Mother who would not believe me."
Wei Ruo insisted that she was not wrong and had no intention of giving in.
“You!”
Wei Ruo's attitude angered Yun Shi again.
Furious, Yun Shi glared at Wei Ruo, and the words of punishment were about to come out.
"Mother!”
Wei Yichen hurried over and lived in the southwest corner of Wei Mansion, which was secluded and convenient for him to study. However, it also caused him to be unaware of the commotion that occurred last night.
After learning of such a big incident this morning, he rushed over.
Upon entering, Wei Yichen first glanced at the stubborn Wei Ruo next to him, then immediately said to Yun Shi:
"Mother! Sister Ruo'er was not wrong in wanting Mo mo Li to find a doctor for the second brother! If Mo mo Li handled it well, there would have been no need to alert Mother.
That is the rules of this Mansion! You should blame Mo mo Li for not handling the things she should have handled properly! This matter has divided our family!"
"Mother, it has only been a month since sister Ruo'er returned home, and it is already remarkable that she knows how to handle the matter in this way!
As for her accidentally hurting Wanwan, it happened in a moment of desperation, not with her intention. As it was about the life of her second brother, wasn’t it not natural for the younger sister to be nervous?"
“The person whose Mother should truly punish is Mo mo Li. As a servant, not reporting a master's serious illness to the Madam in a timely manner is her first sin;
slandering a master and lying is her second sin; failing to protect a master well and causing her to fall and get injured is her third sin!”
Wei Yichen's words made Mo mo Li, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale, and also calmed Yun Shi’s anger a lot.
Yun Shi listened and her expression softened. Her gaze fell on Wei Ruo again, suddenly recalling the sweet days she had with her husband when she was pregnant with her daughter.
At that time, her husband was not so busy and had time for her every day. The couple was very much looking forward to this second child.
Because the first child was a son, the husband said he hoped that this second child would be a daughter, and that the daughter would be considerate and spend more time with her.
Yun Shi turned to ask Mo mo Li: "Do you agree with what the eldest young master said?"
Mo mo Li knelt on the ground and tried to defend herself, but she could not find any words to refute.
"If you don't say anything, you're admitting it. As a servant, you should be beaten to death according to the rules. But since you are an old servant from the Bo Zhongyi’s Mansion and have worked hard for the Wei family for many years,
you will be penalized with three months' salary and will go to Zhuangzi to work as a farmer for three months."
Hearing this, Mo mo Li quickly cried out: "Madam, Madam, I'm too old to go to Zhuangzi and do hard labor on the farm for three months!"
