ch 31

"What is this?" Wei Chang asked her. His face was expressionless.

Liu-shi inhaled. For a short moment, her expression was flustered. She quickly adjusted her expression.

Without any hurry, she smiled and asked, "Isn't this an earring? It's quite plain. Why did Master ask me to look at this?"

Yes, it was quite plain. It was because of this reason that he had a deep impression of it. The things that were in his wife's dressing room were all elaborate and gorgeous. Because it was rare for him to see an earring with a simple design, it made him pay more notice to that earring.

Wei Chang wasn't in any urgency to expose her.

He tranquilly and even-temperedly asked, "I remember you had an earring that looks exactly like this one. Where is it? Bring it out for me to see."

Liu-shi's smile remained calm. Her reply was waterproof, "I disliked its ordinary style, so I gave it to someone else in passing."

She asked with a bit of curiosity, "Master, what's wrong? Why are you asking me this today? The meal has been warmed. Let's go eat dinner first."

Wei Chang didn't intend to allow her to pass over her deception. He grabbed her hand to walk toward the desk. He held her hand tightly and brought her to the front.

"Whom did you give this to? Let that servant girl bring it here to see. Or do you want to say that you gave it to the fifth family's servant girl?"

Liu-shi's face finally started to crack.

She firmly stood and angrily said, "What does Master want to say? What's wrong with you today? It's only an earring. It isn't worth you being so serious..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wei Chang slapped her!

A man's strength was great, especially when he was angered. When he slapped Liu-shi's face, she fell to the ground from the force. One side of her cheek quickly became as swollen as a steamed bun. Liu-shi kneeled on the groundwhile she clutched her cheek.

She raised her head to look at him in disbelief, "Master."

At the same time, from the doorway, there came a fragile sound, "Mom!" Third Miss Wei Ya held the doorway for support. Her face showed surprise at the scene inside. Daddy had ferociously slapped mom to the point that her cheek was swollen. She was startled and afraid. Her lips trembled as she looked at Wei Chang.

With hesitation, she went forward, "Daddy don't hit mom..."

Wei Chang was in a fit of anger. He always had a violent temper and when he was furious, no one was an exception from his mood.

He glared at her and said, "Leave!" Wei Ya was frozen by his glare. She resolutely shook herself.

Her eyes had tears. With uneasy and dread, she said, "Daddy..."

Wei Chang didn't continue looking at her. He turned his head and ordered the mama at the doorway to carry her out. He wouldn't allow her to continue pleading for Liu-shi.

Held by the mama, Wei Ya twisted and cried, "Mom... I want mom."

Originally, Liu-shi's heart held resentment. Hearing Wei Ya's cries, the resentment returned.

She looked at Wei Chang with red eyes, "Did Master hear something when he was outside?

Is that why you're venting your anger on Ya-er and me? Otherwise, you wouldn't act so unusual."

Even now, she was still pretending. Wei Chang's gaze was coldly fierce. He ordered the servants to go outside to let her keep a little bit of face. "Speak. Were you responsible for the poison in Wei Luo's bowl?"
