Wei Ting said self-deprecatingly, “So she never had me in her heart, nor did she have the Wei family.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Ting steadily. “No, she probably didn’t intend to betray you.”
Wei Ting clenched his fists. “What about Fu Su’s sachet?”
It must be very painful to suspect his mother. It was as if his faith for 21 years had instantly collapsed, but he was not even qualified to collapse.
Because he was Wei Ting.
He was the only male member of the Wei family who survived.
Su Xiaoxiao’s heart ached for this man.
It was just a little. It couldn’t be more.
Su Xiaoxiao tugged at his sleeve and opened the two sachets Madam Li had given her. “Look.”
Old Madam Wei’s courtyard was brightly lit.
After hearing the two children’s explanation, Old Madam Wei could not recover for a long time.
“Matriarch?” Su Xiaoxiao took her pulse with three fingers, ready to save her at any time.
“I won’t die!” Matriarch Wei said with heartache.
She had experienced even greater storms. What could she not withstand?
Wasn’t it just two moles?
One was Guo Huan… and the other…
She stood up coldly and fell to the ground.
“Grandmother!” Wei Ting held her.
Old Madam Wei closed her eyes. “I’m fine. I got up too quickly. Get someone to… call your mother over, and your sisters-in-law too…”
About 15 minutes later, the women of the Wei family gathered at Old Madam Wei’s side.
Old Madam Wei had already digested all the bad news.
Since she could survive the despair of almost all of the Wei family dying in battle, she could continue to do so now.
However, the women of the Wei family could tell that something was wrong. Be it Little Seven or the Matriarch, they both had killing intent.
Old Madam Wei said sternly, “Since you’re here, I won’t beat around the bush.
Who’s the traitor of the White Lotus Society? Stand up yourself. If I find you…” As soon as these words were spoken, other than Madam Wei, the other women were confused.
Madam Lan asked, “Grandmother, what traitor?”
Matriarch Wei said coldly, “A traitor from the White Lotus Society!”
Madam Lan’s face turned pale.
The others almost gasped.
The traitor of the White Lotus Society had infiltrated the Wei family and was even among them?
Su Xiaoxiao carefully observed everyone’s expressions, but she didn’t find any flaws.
Old Madam Wei said, “The two of you were the ones who investigated this matter. Daya, say it!”
Old Madam Wei did not treat Su Xiaoxiao as an outsider.
Su Xiaoxiao paused. “Okay, I’ll say it.”
She had just paid careful attention to everyone’s expressions, but she did not find any flaws. Only that person had hidden it extremely well.
Unfortunately, she already knew who she was.
Su Xiaoxiao stood up and said, “I’ll make it short. Guo Huan is a spy of the White Lotus Society. In the Wei family, to be precise, in this room, someone is his accomplice.”
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone causing a thousand ripples.
Other than Madam Wei, a strange expression flashed across almost everyone’s faces.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ll explain the details later. A few days ago, Wei Ting captured Guo Huan. The mole in the residence used the Old Madam to send a sachet to Fu Su and tracked the fragrance all the way to the detention place to save Guo Huan.”
Madam Jiang asked, “Isn’t this the perfume bag distributed by the residence? I have one too. Third Sister-in-law, do you have it right?”
Madam Chen nodded. “Yes, I do.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the sachet in her hand. “The sachet isn’t the main point. It’s mainly the spices inside. This spice isn’t too obvious to smell. Birds and beasts are more sensitive.”
Madam Jiang looked at Madam Wei weakly and whispered, “Isn’t the spice… made by Mother?”
Everyone’s gaze landed on Madam Wei’s face.
Madam Wei lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I checked Xi Yue’s sachet and realized that the spices inside are different from those in Fu Su’s sachet. Fu Su’s is mixed with a small amount of bewitching fragrance that can paralyze the heart. There’s no other sachet that contains this.”
Everyone looked at Madam Li again.
Madam Li’s eyebrows twitched. “Why are you looking at me! Do you think I did it?!”
Madam Lan asked, “Otherwise… why is Xi Yue the only one without the poisonous incense?”
Madam Li said coldly, “Lan! Have I offended you!”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “The sachets in Grandmother’s courtyard aren’t mixed with bewitching incense, and it’s the same with the two Second Sister-in-law gave me.”
Madam Li raised her eyebrows and said, “Look, look! It’s not me! Ah, it might be you! You’re close to the Guo family! A few days ago, you even said that you wanted Princess Lingxi to marry over and be your seventh sister-in-law! You might even be Guo Huan’s accomplice!”
Madam Lan slapped the table. “Second Sister-in-law, how can you say that!”
“You even slapped the table at me. You’re rebellious!” Madam Li said angrily. “I’ll say whatever you say! The guilty party complains first. I’m talking about you!”
Madam Lan said angrily, “I didn’t betray the Guo family! Why doesn’t anyone suspect Fifth Sister-in-law?”
Madam Jiang glared. “What does it have to do with me again?”
Madam Lan snorted. “You were the last to marry into the Wei family! In less than two years after you married, something happened to the Wei family! How can there be such a coincidence!”
Madam Jiang was furious. “You…’
“Stop arguing!” Matriarch Wei shouted. The few of them rolled their eyes and turned around.
“Seventh Sister-in-law, look at mine.” Madam Jiang pulled off her sachet. “And Third Sister-in-law’s.”
“I didn’t wear mine,” Madam Chen said.
Mdm Jiang frowned and said, “Third Sister-in-law, don’t you wear it every day? Why aren’t you wearing it now?” Madam Chen scratched her head. “I forgot.”
Madam Lan and Madam Li looked at Madam Chen suspiciously. “Could it be
you… ”
“Everyone, there’s no need to be suspicious of each other. I already have the answer in my heart. Other than Fu Su’s sachet, the rest are clean.”
“Why is Fu Su’s the only one?” Madam Li asked.
Su Xiaoxiao followed her words and said, “That’s right. Why is Fu Su the only one who has it? How can she guarantee that the sachet will definitely be sent to
Fu SCI?”
“That’s right, that’s right! Tell me quickly!” Madam Lan urged.
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “It’s actually very simple. She only had to tell Matriarch Wei that Fu Su was bitten, so she specially added more spices for mosquito repellent gra.s.s. Did this sachet easily fall into Fu Su’s hands?”
Madam Li and the others looked at Madam Wei again.
The spices were made by Madam Wei, and the sachet was bought outside and sent to Madam Wei’s courtyard. Madam Wei and Ping’er packed it together.
At the end of the day, Madam Wei was still the most suspicious.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “It’s all this person’s fault for not being ruthless enough. If everyone had a little incense in their sachets, there would be no need to do anything else. She could perfectly frame Madam Wei. After all,
Madam Wei made the sachets.”
“What? Mother isn’t…” Madam Li stood up and halfway through her sentence. Realizing that she was unfilial, she hurriedly coughed and sat down.
She glanced at her sisters-in-law. “What are you laughing at? Didn’t you suspect just now…”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the night sky outside the window. “Why didn’t she mix all the sachets with bewitching incense so that she could frame Madam Wei and escape? Is there not enough bewitching incense? No.”
“This kind of spice is nothing to adults, but Xi Yue is a child and her body is weak. It’s really possible for her to be poisoned if she wears it for a certain period of time. In order not to poison Xi Yue, she can only accurately lock onto
Everyone looked at Madam Li again.
Madam Li gritted her teeth. “I said it wasn’t me!”
Madam Jiang said, “She can make one for Xiyue alone. She’s a child. It’s not strange for her to be different from the adults.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “It’s not strange to make it for Xiyue alone, but isn’t it strange to make one for Second Sister-in-law alone?”
Everyone was enlightened.
Madam Li took care of Wei Xiyue. If she wore a poisonous fragrance bag, Wei Xiyue would also be affected.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “There’s another very important reason. She doesn’t want to frame Madam Wei.. Am I right, Sister-in-law?”
