Chapter 501 Hatred (2)_1
As soon as Xiao Ruiyuan stepped into the Hou Mansion, Lady Wei received a message. It had been she who instigated Xiao Ruiqing to stealthily assassinate Xiao Ruiyuan. Initially, when she heard Xiao Ruiyuan was poisoned and wouldn't live much longer, she felt as though Heaven was on their side, wishing in her heart countless times for his rapid demise from the poison.
However, the subsequent series of events utterly exceeded her expectations. Learning that Xiao Ruiyuan was not only alive but also cured, she had been on pins and needles, fearing that Xiao Ruiyuan would find out about her and her son's deeds and seek vengeance upon them.
With Xiao Ruiyuan's return to the mansion this time, his demeanor stormy and aggressive, Lady Wei had an instinct that it was not a good omen. She had someone keep an ear on the study, and upon learning her only son was to be banished from Jing City forever, assigned to guard the Ancestral Mausoleum, she couldn't sit still any longer!
