Chapter 336: Retribution
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Li Yu had long thought that it was Madam Lin who harmed Mother
Li, she did not expect Madam Lin to viciously plot against her sister for a man. To think that man was also her sister’s fiancé. It could be said that she was heartless. Mother Li was so sad and desperate back then. This old woman who helped the wicked was not a good person either.
After Granny Han finished speaking, she saw Li Yu looking at her coldly. She was so frightened that she kept kowtowing to the two of them and begging for mercy. “Master, Madam, please spare my life and Eldest Miss. She hasn’t had an easy time in the Wang family all these years.”
“Isn’t it unreasonable to live happily after murdering your own sister for a man? Also, an evil slave like you can’t escape punishment.”
Zhou Jia asked Granny Han to press her handprint on the confession document. He looked at her and sneered. “Thinking about it, you are begging us to spare you, but did you ever think of sparing Second Miss Lin back then?
She was someone you spent time with. The heavens will demand retribution. Wouldn’t it be against the heavens’ conscience to spare you?
Granny Han looked at Li Yu in horror. As expected, she wouldn’t spare her! Granny Han’s face was ashen as she sat on the ground.
Seeing that Granny Han was afraid, Zhou Jia was worried that the Wang family would retaliate against them after she died. He simply tied her up with a rope and gagged her before leaving the cellar with Li Yu.
When Ji Xiang came to the main courtyard after dinner and learned that Li Yu had already interrogated Granny Han, he told the two of them what had happened along the way before returning to rest.
After the couple washed up, they carried the sleeping Yangyang to the small bed to sleep. Seeing that he was sweating profusely from sleep, Li Yu took a fan and fanned him gently. Zhou Jia sat beside Li Yu and took over the fan. He whispered to Li Yu, “Yu’er, you’ve been tired all day. Go and rest.”
Li Yu leaned against Zhou Jia and asked softly, “Xiao Xi, do you think Old Madam Han’s confession can allow us to make Madam Lin’s actions public?”
Zhou Jia shook his head. “Firstly, Mother-in-law has already passed away. Madam Lin can completely push the blame on Granny Han or say that she doesn’t know anything. Secondly, the Wang and Lin families will definitely not agree for the sake of their reputation.”
“Reputation? These aristocratic families have fame, but they’ve done all kinds of dirty things behind our backs. They’re really shameless.”
Zhou Jia pulled Li Yu over and fanned the mother and son. “This is how the world is. Those old sour children are talking about rules and etiquette. Actually, they’re the ones who don’t follow the rules the most.”
The next morning, Li Yu brought Granny Han and her confession to the Wang family. Old Madam Wang heard a servant report that Li Yu had brought Granny Han to the Wang family and said that she wanted to see her and Madam Lin. Although she was filled with questions, she still got someone to call Madam Lin and came out to welcome her.
When Madam Lin heard the servant report that Li Yu had brought Granny Han to the Wang family, she was so anxious that she paced around the house. There was only one thought in her mind. What should she do? The nanny had been captured by that bitch Madam Li. She wondered if she had confessed. Old Madam Tang urged outside, “Madam, Madam Li is still waiting!”
“Coming.” Madam Lin followed Old Madam Tang to the main hall uneasily.
When Old Madam Wang arrived at the main hall, her heart skipped a beat when she saw Granny Han tied up by ropes. She vaguely felt that this matter was probably not simple. She pointed at her and asked, “Madam Li, isn’t this the nanny of the Lin family? I wonder what she did?”
Li Yu pointed at Granny Han and said to Old Madam Wang, “Madam Lin colluded with this evil slave to harm her sister just to marry into the Wang family. I’ll hand this evil slave over to the government to deal with her. Madam Lin can’t escape punishment.”
When Madam Lin walked to the door and heard Li Yu’s words, she said sternly, “What right do you have to say that I did it?”
“Whether you did it or not, we’ll know after seeing this.” Li Yu took out Granny
Han’s confession and handed it to Old Madam Wang. “Old Madam Wang, this is
Old Madam Han’s confession.”
Old Madam Wang looked at the confession and was shocked by the actions of Madam Lin and Granny Han. She stared at Madam Lin with her mouth half-open for a moment and walked forward to slap her face. She pointed at her and said bitterly, “How can you be so vicious as to harm her? That’s your twin sister.”
The blood on Madam Lin’s face instantly drained and she turned pale. She stared fiercely at Old Madam Han. “Nanny, I’ve treated you well all these years. How could you do such a crazy thing? After being caught, you came to slander me?”
“Miss, you…” As Granny Han looked up at Madam Lin, her heart was ashen. That’s right! She could even kill her twin sister. What was she, a nanny?
“Eldest Miss, I finally understand what it means to repay kindness with evil. It’s not that there isn’t karma, but the time hasn’t come. Now that I’ve received retribution, I can’t accompany you anymore. I hope that everything will go smoothly for the rest of your life.”
Madam Lin stared intently at the ashen-faced Granny Han. “What retribution?
Nanny, you can’t go against your conscience and frame me!”
Li Yu looked at the scene in front of her and felt that it was really a dogfight. She looked at Madam Lin and sneered. “You don’t have to be in a hurry to quibble. We’ll settle it when we go to the government office.” Madam Lin glared at Li Yu. “Stop scaring people here.”
“Hmph!” Li Yu stood up. “Just wait and see if I’m scaring you.”
Old Madam Wang sat at the side in a daze. Thinking that her two grandsons would probably be ostracized and looked down upon by others in the future, she hurriedly scolded Madam Lin, “Hurry up and leave.”
These words sounded like heavenly music to Madam Lin’s ears. “Yes, Mother-in-law.” Mrs. Lin slipped out faster than a rabbit.
Old Madam Wang bowed to Li Yu shakily and begged, “Madam Li, Zheng’er and Madam Lin still have two sons. If we hand Madam Lin over to the government office to be punished and the world finds out that the two children have such a biological mother, it will be difficult for the two children to establish themselves in the future.” Old Madam Wang looked at Li Yu with tears streaming down her face. ‘Madam Li, the Wang family has always been on good terms with your family. Your mother is the most magnanimous and kind. Your grandmother and I are as close as sisters. Please don’t send Madam Lin to the government on account of your mother’s family and leave it to our Wang family to deal with in private. This evil slave will naturally be handed over to the government to be punished.”
Li Yu looked at Old Madam Wang, who was crying, and knew that the Wang family would not let anyone take Madam Lin away. She said coldly, “How is your Wang family going to deal with Madam Lin?”
Seeing that Li Yu had relented, Old Madam Wang took a deep breath and relaxed. “Madam Li, Madam Lin will go to the temple in the Wang family village to repent for her sins.”
“Alright, I hope you keep your promise. I’ll bring Old Madam Han to the government office.” Li Yu brought Gu Yu in. Ji Xiang came in from outside and brought Granny Han out.
After returning to the manor, Ji Xiang said to Li Yu, “Madam, do you need to kill Madam Lin?”
“There’s no need. For someone like her, living in a home temple is torture.
Dying is a relief..”
