"You...you..."
Wen Old Madam's face suddenly turned pale. She pointed at the two of them, unable to speak for a long time. Then she leaned back and fell directly onto the sofa.
"Old Madam!" The lawyer who had come with Wen Old Madam was so frightened that he shouted. He immediately took out his cell phone to make a call.
Huo Mei Shu was also greatly shocked by this old lady's sudden behavior. Could she really have been scared to death?
But Rong Dai went up and snatched the lawyer's cell phone from him, throwing it on the ground. Her eyes were sinister and dignified as she swept him a glance. Her tone was cold, "Does fainting require making an emergency call? This is a waste of resources and is harming the lives of those who really need to be saved."
The lawyer's face turned pale. He didn't expect Rong Dai to say this. And he was suppressed by Rong Dai's momentum, unable to refute her for a moment with his mouth wide open.
"Fainting?!" Huo Mei Shu's hair stood on end immediately! She didn't expect this old lady to be so shameless!
Rong Dai nodded. She could only say that this old lady was very unlucky to use this trick in front of her.
With one hand, she went to take the old lady's pulse. In her previous life, she had learned some medical skills from the imperial physician. Although she couldn't open a consultation room, she could still diagnose these minor illnesses.
In her previous life, when she still didn't know that the Noble Consort was the white rose in the emperor's heart, she had foolishly fallen for this trick several times.
But the emperor was never tired of this trick every time, and it always allowed the Noble Consort to succeed.
She was too familiar with the rhythm of this fake fainting.
"It's alright. Since the old lady is willing to sleep here, let's let her sleep."
Rong Dai let go of her hand, her eyes cold as a knife sweeping over the old lady's body. Wen Old Madam felt a chill in her heart.
"Mrs. Wang, go get a blanket to cover the old lady. The elderly are afraid of the cold. Remember to bring a thick one."
She also instructed Mrs. Wang, taking care to stress the words "thick one".
Huo Mei Shu stared at Wen Old Madam beside her. Seeing her eyelids flutter, she was immediately relieved.
"Mrs. Wang, the lawyer doesn't look well. Go make him some wolfberry tea. I'll go get the blanket."
With that said, she strode upstairs, taking two steps at a time.
Rong Dai sat back down on the sofa, a smile on her charming face as she looked at the lawyer.
"Mr. Lawyer, since the old lady is tired, let's let her sleep for a while. Why don't we talk about this case? I wonder what Wen Old Madam wants me to do?"
The lawyer felt very uncomfortable under her gaze. He glanced at Wen Old Madam "sleeping" very soundly on the sofa and was unable to get any information. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "We hope that the Huo family can withdraw the charges against Miss Wen."
Rong Dai lowered her eyes slightly, a deep gloom flashing in her eyes.
Withdraw? Don't even think about it.
"Even if I agree to withdraw the lawsuit, the investigative agency will not revoke the charges against Miss Wen for suspected murder. Miss Wen will still face trial. So what's the point of coming to me?"
The lawyer frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It would be fine if Mrs. Huo is willing to withdraw the lawsuit. You don't need to worry about the rest."
"So you mean that the Wen family can find a way to bring Miss Wen Shilan back unharmed, right?"
Rong Dai seized on his words and asked.
"Yes...no, of course not." The lawyer nodded almost reflexively, but when he realized what he had said, he hurriedly shook his head to explain.
He had almost blurted out the truth from her leading questions.
Rong Dai smiled lightly on her face, and did not continue to question him, while the lawyer became restless. He had staked his life to handle this matter for the Wen family.
"Here's the quilt!" At this moment, Huo Mei Shu came downstairs carrying a down quilt from upstairs. The slyness fluctuating in her eyes made Rong Dai very helpless.
This little girl really couldn't be offended.
Huo Mei Shu nimbly covered Wen Old Madam with the quilt, leaving no part of her body uncovered except her face.
This dead girl!
Wen Old Madam couldn't help but curse in her heart, but she had already done this. If she woke up now, wouldn't that prove Rong Dai right? How could she arrange things afterwards?
"Granny Wen, sleep well. If you feel cold, my family has plenty of quilts."
Huo Mei Shu said with a smile, then clapped her hands and sat back down on the sofa.
Mrs. Wang brought the wolfberry tea to the lawyer. Seeing the old lady covered so tightly, she glanced up at the central air conditioner display in the hall, which showed a constant temperature of 26 degrees Celsius. She hoped the old lady could endure it.
"Mr. Lawyer, your suit is very special and the decorations are quite innovative."
After a few seconds of silence in the living room, Rong Dai's gaze remained fixed on the lawyer as she suddenly came up with this remark.
The lawyer's eyes flashed with panic. He almost choked on the hot tea in his mouth. He quickly put it down and forced a smile to say, "No, no, I just bought it randomly."
Huo Mei Shu sat on the side, puzzled. Her eyes couldn't help but look over the lawyer's suit either. But she didn't feel there was anything innovative about it. It was last year's style!
But Rong Dai didn't say anything more, so she decided not to ask for now.
Half an hour passed quickly. Rong Dai looked at the old lady who was still motionless on the sofa and was quite impressed.
She now understood how Wen Shilan could have done those crazy things, with a grandmother like this to guide her. How could she not turn out like this?
"Mom, you're back so early today?"
After a while, Lu Zheng pushed open the door and came in from outside. Huo Mei Shu immediately asked.
Lu Zheng didn't answer her right away. Instead, she looked around and saw Wen Old Madam sleeping on the sofa. Her expression instantly changed.
"Mom, Granny Wen is visiting us. She probably fell asleep because she was tired from the car ride."
Rong Dai also stood up, not waiting for her mother-in-law to ask before explaining herself.
Lu Zheng looked at her and Huo Mei Shu suspiciously, then glanced at the lawyer again.
Visiting?
Who would bring a lawyer to someone's home as a guest?
It must be about Wen Shilan's case again. On the way here, she had called Lu Hong to ask about the progress of this case.
The trial would begin next Monday. According to Left Ran and Wen Shilan's actions, one was the principal offender, the other an accomplice.
Left Ran was also suspected of murdering An Fei Ya. Coupled with this latest murder, and the testimonies of many others she had harmed, she probably couldn't escape the death penalty.
As for Wen Shilan's suspected involvement in murder, although she was an accomplice, her sentencing would not be light either. At least a few years in prison was likely.
This incident had dealt a heavy blow to the Wen family. Their business empire was already precarious. She thought the Wen family should be more restrained.
She didn't expect this old lady to take a lawyer to their home while they were all out.
This old lady was not easy to deal with. She had almost become the Wen family's daughter-in-law back then. After learning of this old lady's personality, she decisively chose the Huo family, which was not as well off as the Wen family at that time.
The facts proved that her choice was right. She had worried all the way here, but it seemed she had worried for nothing.
