Intolerable

"Three, two..." Ye Jiayao slowly counted, observing Zhu Wang's wife out of the corner of her eyes. "One."

Ye Jiayao sneered, "I might be a benevolent person, but I also stand by my words. I gave you the opportunity to come clean, but you decided to stay quiet. One thing to know about me, I never make threats, I make promises."

The lips of Zhu Wang's wife began to twitch.

Ye Jiayao directed her stare at her and slowly said, "Mother Zhou and Zhu Wang wife, stay here. The rest of you go back to the kitchen to work and speak nothing of this. Anyone here who lets their tongues loose will be punished."

Everyone was surprised to find out that it was Zhu Wang's wife. She's always been honest. How would she benefit from sabotaging the wedding banquet? Was the Second Young Mistress mistaken?

The women left confused.

Zhu Wang's wife stood straight, but when observed more closely, her hands were shaking.
