Chapter 1408: Chapter 1408: Can’t Escape My Palm!

Yet, her father-in-law insisted that they should not stoop to the level of that wretched Mo Tong, forbidding them from troubling her and denying them even the right to retaliate.

She had no idea what to do.

"She won’t let us off?"

The gaze of Grand Old Madam Chen became even more sinister.

That wretched Mo Tong dared not to let her off, but did she have to let that woman off in turn?

That woman had killed her grandchild, the Chen Family’s sole heir. How could she possibly just let her go so easily?

Her old fool of a husband was too soft-hearted to do anything to that woman, but she would not show such mercy!

"Humph!"

She sneered.

If that wretched woman so wished for death, then she’d be glad to oblige her.

In the Chen Residence, what would count as a big deal if one or two people died?

However...

She did not want the death of someone in the Chen Residence to drag in the two from Wuzhu Forest, so to deal with that wretched Mo Tong, she had to make sure those two left first.

But how could she make those two leave?

Since it was Mo Tong who brought them, naturally only Mo Tong would have the means to send them away.

Yet she knew that Mo Tong would definitely not listen to her. In that case... there was only one way to do it – let the two discover what they wanted to find out and send them on their way.

With this thought, the smile on her face grew even more terrifying.

"Mother, have... have you thought of a good idea?" Old Madam Chen, seeing the ghastly smile of her mother-in-law, felt a shiver down her spine, but still mustered the courage to ask her.

"A good idea?"

Grand Old Madam Chen gave a cold laugh.

"Not exactly a good idea. Come closer and I’ll tell you."

She beckoned to Old Madam Chen with a wave of her hand, gesturing for her to come over.

Old Madam Chen dared not disobey her mother-in-law and hesitantly moved closer to hear what she had to say.

"Hiss!"

But upon hearing Grand Old Madam Chen’s instructions, she couldn’t help but inhale sharply in shock.

"Mother, this... can this really work?"

Her mother-in-law truly was a fearsome and venomous person, capable of conceiving such cruel schemes.

"Why wouldn’t it work? See to it at once. I want to see if that wretched woman can escape from the palm of my hand this time!" said Grand Old Madam Chen to Old Madam Chen.

"Alright, I... I’ll go and do it right away." Old Madam Chen stood up and hurriedly left.

She feared that if she were slow, all these schemes of Grand Old Madam Chen would fall upon her own head instead, and she would truly end up with no place to lay her corpse.

...

Another day passed.

The masters of the Chen Residence were all quiet as if nothing had happened in the Chen Family.

But the servants of the Chen Residence were not so quiet.

The whole estate was filled with gossip about Madam Chen, saying which man she had outside and how many times he had come to take her away.

And the reason Madam Chen had killed her own husband was to be free to leave with her lover.

Regardless, the rumors about Madam Chen propagated swiftly within the Chen Residence. The servants spoke as maliciously as they could, and their poisoned gazes swept over Madam Chen, almost as if they wished to flay her alive.

"Young Master Ya, Miss Lin, please don’t mind this. The people of the Chen Residence have always been like this," Madam Chen said.

Although Madam Chen was seething inside, she still managed to muster a smile when facing Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo.
