Chapter 1407: Chapter 1407: Can You Spare Us?

"Yes, the maid who was almost always with Madam Chen, at such a crucial moment last night, was nowhere to be seen."

"And after Hongjin and Hongyin took Madam Chen back, that maid wasn’t seen either."

"This point couldn’t help but arouse their suspicions."

"It seems that the matter still has to fall on her," Zimo said somberly.

Lin Caisang nodded as well. According to Madam Chen herself, this maid was someone she picked up from outside. When found, the maid was barely breathing; it was only after Madam Chen personally fed her a few sips of water and bites of rice that she was revived.

Afterward, the maid sold herself to Madam Chen and stayed by her side as a servant, which could be regarded as a way to repay her kindness.

But this servant...

"Since coming out of Wuzhu Forest, I felt a cold aura on her. Could it be that she’s not from the Human Clan?" she looked at Zimo and asked.

"We will know if we try," he replied.

Naturally, Zimo couldn’t guess which clan the maid belonged to, but whichever it was, they would find out by trying, right?

Hearing his words, Lin Caisang looked at him seriously.

After a long while, she finally nodded affirmatively, "Alright."

Let’s give it a try then; after all, they wouldn’t be at a loss.

She had methods to deal with the Ghost Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Ling Clan, taught to her by Hongjin, so it was naturally possible to try without causing harm to anyone.

"Then I’ll refine medicine tonight," she declared.

Zimo nodded and said nothing more.

...

On the other hand, Grand Old Madam Chen and Old Madam Chen were sitting in the back garden, with exquisite pastries in front of them, but neither of them reached out to take any.

Because neither was in the mood to eat at that moment.

"Mother, what should we do?" Old Madam Chen looked at Grand Old Madam Chen, her brows knotted as if they would never untangle.

Thinking of her disgraceful daughter-in-law, her heart ached, and she wished that Mo Tong would just die and be done with it.

But paradoxically, the people at home just wouldn’t let them have their way. It wasn’t just those two from the Wuzhu Forest, but now even her father-in-law wasn’t helping them, instead, he was speaking up for that shameless woman.

"What can we do?"

Grand Old Madam Chen’s sinister gaze swept over her as she countered with a question.

"What do you think we should do?"

"I... How would I know?" Old Madam Chen felt a tingling scalp under her gaze and could only clench her teeth and lower her head.

Their father-in-law had already warned them to not provoke that shameless Mo Tong again. If she were to encourage her mother-in-law to go against Mo Tong now, wouldn’t she be asking for trouble?

After all, her mother-in-law was not someone to be trifled with.

Sometimes she even felt that she didn’t dare to speak in front of Grand Old Madam Chen.

Because if she said one wrong word, Grand Old Madam Chen would punish her, leaving her so disoriented she couldn’t even cry. So, in this life, she could only cling to Grand Old Madam Chen to get by.

And Mo Tong, who did not want to live under Grand Old Madam Chen’s thumb and lead a suffocating life, was targeted by Grand Old Madam Chen because of that.

"Mother, if we really let it go at that, could that shameless woman let us off?"

After a long while, she spoke again to Grand Old Madam Chen.

There was always a feeling that after last night’s incident, that shameless Mo Tong wouldn’t let them off so easily.

Last night, Mo Tong’s plan to kill Grand Old Madam Chen failed, and she must have been unwilling to accept it. Perhaps she might do something like that again.
