The evidence is laid out before her, and Madam Wang cannot deny it. She leans sideways with her head bowed, listening to the Old Madam's questioning, and suddenly bursts into mad laughter.
Everyone is stunned. Could she have gone mad?
"Wretch, what are you laughing at!" Wu Lihong, unable to hold back his anger, kicks her again.
Blood trickles from the corner of Madam Wang's mouth. She lifts her head, looks coldly at Old Madam Wu, and mocks, "You ask what I've done to you, yet you have the nerve to ask?"
Old Madam Wu purses her lips, so angry that her heart aches. Heavens, how could she have such a disobedient and unfilial daughter-in-law? Take her away, please.
Madam Wang wipes the blood from her mouth, stands up from the ground, tidies her clothes, and says, "You ask me why? If you hadn't hinted at wanting to dispose of me, would I have acted against you?"
"Wretch, what are you saying!" Wu Lihong yells sternly.
