"Second Elder Sister, this is the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, my father's residence. Any servant in this house is my father's servant and I am my father's only legitimate daughter. Anyone who wants to die can try hurting me." Wei Yuewu said in a soft but harsh tone as she looked coldly at the two approaching maidservants.
The two vicious maidservants stopped short and did not dare to come forward again.
"How... how dare... dare you..." Wei Yan cried furiously when she saw the servants were intimidated by Wei Yuewu's words. Slapping hard on the chair rails, she jumped to her feet and pointed her forefinger at Wei Yuewu.
"Second Elder Sister, I surely dare! The place where you are standing is my father's residence. The servants you use are servants of my father's house. No matter what, you can't deny the fact that you are not my father's daughter but only a guest who lives here. You can claim to be a mistress while I am away, but now I am back!"
"Second Young Lady, the Madam Dowager sent me to ask if the Sixth Young Lady has arrived. Have you met the Sixth Young Lady?" An old maidservant appeared at the door with two maids and asked. Her look was fairly calm and natural as if she didn't notice the messy situation between the two young ladies in the yard.Seeing that Nurse Hong, grandma's most capable servant showed up at the door, Wei Yan suddenly froze and her hand stopped before Wei Yuewu's face. She dared not go any further as she regained her sense in a flash and realized that she had come here to stop the little bitch without telling grandmother. Nervousness crept onto her face."Second Young Lady, is this the Sixth Young Lady?" Nurse Hong asked as she turned her eyes to Wei Yuewu."Yes, she is the one who claims to be my sixth younger sister." Wei Yan answered hatefully as she withdrew her hand slowly with great unwillingness."Sixth Young Lady, I'm Nurse Hong who wa
"I have seen the Sixth Young Lady before. She didn't look like this girl.""I saw the Sixth Young Lady too. She looked completely different from this person when her maternal grandmother asked her to come over."Another two maids stood out and murmured in a voice that was just audible to the Madam Dowager and the other people in the room."Fake... she... she is a fake...""Well... how odd it is that someone should pass off as the Sixth Young Lady!""No wonder she doesn't look like the Sixth Young Lady as was said. She is a fake!"...Suddenly, gossip burst out among the maids and old maidservants in the room. The sharp contrast between this pretty Sixth Young Lady in front of them and the Sixth Young Lady who was said to be untalented and ordinary-looking, plus the testimonies by the maids who had seen the true Wei Yuewu before, would naturally arouse suspicion in anyone.The word
Wei Yan was so stunned. For a while, she was at a loss as to how to respond to the situation. Her face alternated between blue and white. She felt that whatever she was going to say was wrong. However, it only looked like she felt guilty if she didn't say anything...Seeing Wei Yan's reaction, Wei Yuewu sneered in her heart!She had assumed that Wei Yan and others would not allow things to go out of control. They had to comply with her request to break off the engagement. Actually, if she could break off her engagement without the consent from the elders, she would not have wasted her time here arguing with these people.After she entered the mansion, she induced Wei Yan and Lady Li to mention the attempted murder and the carriage accident instead of bringing up the incidents by herself. This was because she wanted the Madam Dowager to know that if her request was rejected, she would ruin Wei Yan's reputation.Whatever the end of t
"It was actually my fault. In the beginning, I thought of telling Marquis Jing Yuan something about Yuewu. However, Marquis Jing Yuan had set off to pick up Yuewu. So I told Wei Yan’s personal maid to take a message to Marquis Jing Yuan when she saw him. I never knew that the maid was so bold that she actually followed Marquis Jing Yuan along without asking for permission. Lady Li, dismiss that girl when you go back. We can't keep such a servant at our house."The Madam Dowager coughed and opened her smiling eyes as she responded to Lady Tu. By giving a casual order to Lady Li, she intended to understate the matter."Yes, mother."Perceiving the Madam Dowager's anger, Lady Li didn’t dare to say any more. She lowered her head in a respectful manner and heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Wei Yan’s reputation was at least saved by blaming Shuiyun for everything."Madam Dowager, it was amazing that maids at your house should be so p
"I... " Wei Yan was instantly speechless at Wei Yuewu’s question. She had rushed out only because she was so exasperated that she lost control of herself."Yuewu, Wei Yan was just expressing her concern about you. She’s worrying about your marriage. After all, your engagement was a favor done at the request by your mother. It's a pity to cancel it in such a casual way."Lady Li hurriedly offered an explanation for Wei Yan. She forced a smile on her stiff face and appeared to be sincerely considering what's good for Wei Yuewu.However, according to previous arguments, her such an explanation only made a great sarcasm in the eyes of the audience."I... I... I just wanted you to think about it."As much as Wei Yan longed to scratch Wei Yuewu’s beautiful face, she recognized that she must follow Lady Li's logic at this moment.Wei Yan almost crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a tattered ball, but under
"I have no idea what your granny meant by giving the box to you. Maybe it was from your mother. Just put it away and look at it when you have time. At least it’s something that can let you feel comfortable with memory of the past."Lady Tu did not know that the box in her package actually contained a dark golden case. She was also stunned.As the Tu family had deep connections with the royal family, Lady Tu knew very well about what the case represented.Normally, such an article could not appear in her family, not even in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang despite the marquis’s position as a senior officer. When Lady Tu thought of her unusual mother-in-law, she considered that it was unnecessary to say anything else. She had come here at the request of her mother-in-law to back Wei Yuewu up and give the case to her.Wei Yuewu pondered for a little while before she nodded and put the case away. It was not the time to study the casket.
Wei Yuewu looked around at the servants in the yard, a trace of derision glimmering in her eyes. So she was right: all these servants were loyal to Lady Li and Wei Yan. Their disapproval and contempt were writ large on their faces, determined to drive her out of Lotus Courtyard. Unfortunately, she had no intention to leave once she moved in.Wei Yuewu slightly raised her chin toward Jin Ling as a gesture for her to take action. By now, Jin Ling understand her mistress without words being said. This was a result of accompanying her mistress during their journey to the capital. She comprehended Wei Yuewu’s meaning instantly and walked to the old maidservant angrily."Sixth Young Lady..." Seeing others echoing her words, the old maidservant in charge became more presumptuous. She turned to Wei Yuewu and was about to say something else when Jin Ling, who had by now stopped before her, slapped her hard in the face and then kicked her skillfully with the right fo
"Help the Second Young Lady in."Seeing Wei Yan crying so painfully, Lady Li became anxious too. Several maids and old maidservants went on to support Wei Yan who collapsed on the ground in her crying and helped her into the main apartment."Mother, mother, what should I do? That cheap girl wanted to cancel her engagement with Marquis Jing Yuan. What... what can I do? "Wei Yan let out a cry of grievance.Lady Li waved her hand. The maids and old maidservants got the signal and withdrew from the chamber.After all the servants leaved, Lady Li fondled Wei Yan's head with distress and comforted her, "Don't worry, Zhaoyi Tu was the witness of the engagement. Wei Yuewu can’t break it off so easily even if she wants to.""But if she made a scene... how... how would I be going to get married with Marquis Jing Yuan?"Wei Yan wiped off her tears, her pretty face showing hatred and jealousy.
