章 421: Chapter 421 Jewelry(5)_1

In terms of seniority, Madam Yue was Lady Du's younger sister and Aunt to Cai Wei. At this moment, she was standing by the Lotus Pond, tears streaming down her face, her expression one of absolute despair, her body shaking slightly as if she would collapse at any moment.

Seeing this, Cai Wei felt a mix of sympathy and regret for her. This pitiful woman, much like her own mother, was facing the destiny of being sacrificed by the family clan. Henceforth, she would be bound to an old man on the brink of death. Her prime years will fade away as she tend to the old man's coughs and aches and pains. For a young maiden in her blooming years, what a cruel fate this was!

Lady Du also saw Madam Yue and discreetly slowed her pace, whispering to her daughter, "Wei'er, do you notice anything strange about her?"

Just as she finished speaking, there was a "splash". Madam Yue had fallen into the Lotus Pond, and instead of struggling, she allowed herself to sink.

"No! She's attempting suicide!"
