After Wei Rou returned to the room, after much deliberation, she still felt that Aunt Zhou's death was too strange. She repaired a letter and asked Yingge to send it to shopkeeper Qiao, hoping that shopkeeper Qiao could investigate it.

Yingge had just passed a stick of incense when there was a dispute outside the courtyard.

Wei Rou pushed open the window and saw that the nurse guarding the courtyard was arguing with a maidservant, while Lin Ruyi was standing a few steps away, looking straight in her direction.

When Lin Ru saw Wei Rou, a smug smile curled up on the corner of her mouth, and she raised her voice and said, "Cousin Rou, the nuns in your yard are too blind to see, how dare I stop you no matter who I am?"

What responded to Lin Ruyi was the suddenly closed window.

Lin Ru was a little annoyed by the situation.

Wei Rou was Shi Shiran who came out of the room. She was wearing the custom-made clothes ordered by Mrs. Ye a few days ago, which made her look even more generous.

"Mother Wu, what happened?"

Wei Rou didn't look at Lin Ruyi, but asked the nurse who guarded the courtyard.

Seeing Wei Rou coming out, Mother Wu hurriedly bowed to her.

"I disturbed the girl until she was resting, and the old slave was panicked. It's just that Miss Lin insisted on barging in, but the old slave didn't stop her, please punish her!"

Only then did Wei Rou unhurriedly turn her gaze to Lin Ruyi, and then pretended to be surprised.

"It turned out that it was Cousin Lin who came. I thought it was some ignorant person who was making noise outside my yard and was about to be kicked out."

Lin Ruyi's face turned pale when she heard this, and she was a little embarrassed when she heard Wei Rou's implication.

The servant girl next to Lin Ruyi was not convinced, and stepped forward: "What are you talking about! My lady is the serious daughter of the Wei family, and I don't know where you came from, girl." Yes, dare to show off in front of my young lady!"

Nanny Wu opened her eyes wide. Not many people in the mansion knew about this matter, so Nanny Wu was very surprised when she heard the news.

Lin Ruyi didn't expect the maid beside her to say such a thing, and seeing Wei Rou's face turned pale, she didn't stop her.

Didn't she just wait for this day, wanting to see Wei Rou's frustrated appearance.

She has long been displeased with Wei Rou's look of condescension and contempt for all sentient beings, and wants her to experience the feeling of being accused and insulted by everyone.

"Snapped--"

Crisp applause sounded outside the quiet courtyard.

The maid covered half of her cheek and looked at Wei Rou in shock.

"You fake daughter—"

Before she finished speaking, Wei Rou slapped her on the other side of the face again.

The applause was extremely loud, and a bright red palm print instantly appeared on the maidservant's face, and even the corner of her mouth faintly oozes blood.

Wei Rou had a cold face.

"How dare you, a lowly maidservant, dare to act presumptuously in front of your master? These two slaps are your reward. If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will cut off your tongue!"

The servant girl didn't expect Wei Rou to speak so harshly, so she hurriedly hid behind Lin Ruyi in fright, not daring to say anything more.

It was obvious that the slap was on the maidservant, but Lin Ruyi seemed to have been slapped on the face as well, with burning pain.

There was a bit of anger on her face.

"Cousin Rou, I'm a little impolite as a maid, but she's right, I'm the real daughter of the Wei Mansion. You've occupied my position for so many years, it's time to give it back to me."

Wei Rou glanced at her lightly, then patted her hand, showing a bit of disgust on her face.

"This matter has not yet been settled. Cousin is so impatient, is it because she is afraid that outsiders will not know about the scandal in my Wei residence?"
