Chapter 1399: Chapter 1399: Confused, Aren’t You?

As she spoke, Lin Caisang could hear the grinding of her teeth.

"Is that so?"

Lin Caisang gave Grand Old Madam Chen a cold look and scoffed.

"Indeed, this wench, she’s simply not..."

"Grand Old Madam Chen!"

Before Grand Old Madam Chen could utter any more venomous words, Lin Caisang sternly cut her off.

"Even though I address you as Grand Old Madam Chen out of respect, do not presume too much and believe that whatever you or your family says, my companions and I will trust!"

"This..."

Hearing her words, not just Grand Old Madam Chen, but also Madam Chen and the other servants, all had a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

"You say your part, and we will conduct our investigation. Grand Old Madam Chen wouldn’t believe that just because of the way Madam Chen treated you in the front courtyard earlier, it would change my perspective on her, right?

Whether she is good or evil, I have an idea in my heart. There’s no need for Grand Old Madam Chen to ’enlighten’ me."

"This... Miss Lin, what are you talking about? I can’t understand it at all," Grand Old Madam Chen mumbled to herself, but how could she admit that what she had done earlier was intentional? She could only deny it with false bravado.

"Miss Lin, Young Master Ya, we were indeed provoked by this wench and thus laid hands on her. Who would have thought she would actually burn the remains of my grandson..."

"Who told Grand Old Madam Chen that Old Master Chen’s remains were cremated by Madam Chen?"

Without waiting for her to finish, Lin Caisang interjected with a question.

"Eh."

Grand Old Madam Chen was caught off guard by her question and suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

But while Grand Old Madam Chen had nothing to say, Lin Caisang still had questions, her eyes fixed coldly on Grand Old Madam Chen.

"Or perhaps, did Grand Old Madam Chen see it with her own eyes? Or was it someone within the Chen Residence who saw Madam Chen cremating Old Master Chen’s remains?" she demanded.

In her hand, the Wind Spirit Whip longed to level the Chen Family’s land to the ground!

Had it not been for her and Brother Molian coming here, Madam Chen would likely have met her end already, wouldn’t she?

No wonder Madam Chen, who was clearly terrified of Wuzhu Forest, still risked her life to seek their help. It seems the Chen Family indeed wanted Madam Chen dead.

Grand Old Madam Chen truly was at a loss for words because of Lin Caisang’s questioning. How could she have witnessed it herself? It was only because she heard...

Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she turned to look at Sui Zimo beside Lin Caisang.

"Young Master Ya, it was clearly the steward who heard you saying that my grandson’s body was burned. Are you telling me now that all you said was a lie?" she asked, her tone halfway accusatory.

"I have never claimed that Old Master Chen’s remains were cremated by Madam Chen," Sui Zimo’s icy voice echoed in the ears of all present.

To try and throw the blame onto him? Hah, not even in a virtual mission would they have that ability!

"Moreover, if Madam Chen truly did cremate Old Master Chen’s remains, she wouldn’t have taken us there to witness it ourselves. Clearly, Grand Old Madam Chen must be getting senile with age," he added disdainfully.

"You—"

Upon hearing his words, Grand Old Madam Chen’s face greened, and she nearly lashed out in anger.

What does it matter if she was old? She had been in charge of the Chen Family affairs for so many years; who dared to accuse her of being senile? She was shrewd!

"It seems there must have been a misunderstanding by the steward," she reluctantly conceded.

After saying so much, these two still just wanted to seek justice for that scoundrel Mo Tong. By giving them a way out, the matter could be resolved.
