Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 214

Chapter 214 – Whoever Won Her Would Win The World

Upstairs in the teahouse, Yan Huaijing took his seat again. He put his fingers around the teacup and slightly rubbed it. His voice became gentle again, “Then, come back!”

Xie Qingzhao was bold enough to set up his little fox. However, the matter became even more complicated with the intervention of several other officials. But this situation was very favorable to him. So Yan Huaijing decided to let it be and settle the matter all at once in the future…

“How about those guys?” Yan Huaijing circled the teacup with his slender figures and asked leisurely.

“Among the three heirs-apparent, the heir-apparent of Duke Lu has left. The other two heirs-apparent are still here. I don’t dare to get too close to them. So I don’t know what they talked about.”

Every heir-apparent brought a lot of guards, including dark guards with them to the capital this time. No one dared to act rashly.

“Did the Third Princess come?” Yan Huaijing’s handsome lips curled into a faint smile as he lazily asked.

“Yes, the Third Princess came together with the Eldest Miss Jing. They each brought only one maidservant. They were just staying upstairs on the opposite side. The Eldest Miss Jing seemed to notice you and she deliberately hid behind the curtain. But she didn’t tell the Third Princess about your presence, so the Third Princess didn’t notice you.”

Yan Huaijing had been standing at the window, and he didn’t plan to avoid anyone.

“Has Eldest Miss Jing’s leg totally healed?” Yan Huaijing asked carelessly.

“Not yet. With a closer look, one can see she’s limping when she is walking.” The guard thought for a moment and said. This Eldest Miss Jing was really awesome! She even came here to join in the fun with a limped leg.

“Once Marquis Hua Yang is back to the capital, the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang is about to be turned upside down. That minister has maintained an obscure role and had a difficult time over the years!” Yan Huaijing seemed to be talking to himself. But his words were enough to bring much sweat to the guard, who felt that everything was moving in the direction according to the will of the heir-apparent.

“Tell the people of the Flying Dragon Intelligence Agency to spread the news that the woman who has the world in her hand is in the capital. Whoever wins her will win the world!” Yan Huaijing smiled gently. His immortal-like face became increasingly glamorous. However, his gentle look didn’t alleviate the bloodthirsty killing momentum in his words by the slightest bit.

“The woman has the world in her hand. Whoever wins her will win the world!” Although people had heard about this message in the past, the message this time was much more definite. This was almost the omen of a bloody storm!

“How about Master Fenghe?” The guard asked carefully.

“There is no need to keep watching him closely. Since he is merely a monk and is willing to meddle with the mundane world, let him come back to the mud!” Yan Huaijing’s long and narrow eyes flashed. Master Fenghe was once a member of the royal family but he later became a monk in order to stay away from the royal dispute. But in the end, he had to come back to the world of disputes.

Nine-nether Underworld and Avici-hell had always been a hot topic of discussion for all Buddhists. No one really knew if this eminent monk who had once lied could overcome this obstacle in his heart in the end…

Sometimes, destruction didn’t come from the others, but from one’s own heart. Just let this Buddhist master mark the beginning of this bloody storm…

Yan Huaijing mercilessly closed his handsome eyes and the smile on his face slowly faded away. Although he was still handsome, he looked more like the Asura King from Hell with a handsome face but merciless and ruthless character!

The carriage slowly moved forward. Inside the carriage, Wei Yuewu was also taking a break with her eyes closed. She leaned against the carriage wall and the corner of her lips curled into a cold smile.

“Miss, does the Lord Marquis really know nothing about what the Third Young Lady and Concubine Dong are trying to do?” Said Huamo indignantly. She had just been observing the famous Marquis Hua Yang, who was also her master. However, she didn’t find the Marquis had any slightest bit of care about her young miss. She couldn’t help but be angry at the thought that Wei Yuewu was treated unfairly.

“Marquis Hua Yang didn’t want people to learn that his concubine and concubine-born daughter tried to hurt his legitimate daughter soon after he arrived in the capital. In his heart, only the three of them are a family.” Wei Yuewu smiled coldly and slightly opened her eyes that had a cold and detached look.

Being psychologically ready to accept something didn’t mean one could maintain perfect composure when facing it. In the face of an indifferent father, who could remain calm and maintain peace of mind?

“Miss, you will have a difficult time in the days to come, right?” Huamo thought for a moment and said worriedly.

“No. Concubine Dong is good at acting. No matter how, she would definitely try to triumph over me.” Wei Yuewu shook her head and said. Although Concubine Dong didn’t talk much just now, her words were filled with accusations against Wei Yuewu.

Upon finding that the situation was against her, Concubine Dong immediately remained silent. But she didn’t stop Wei Yuejiao from talking. She was obviously a sophisticated and tricky person. Such a person was good at pretending, especially when she was still a concubine.

But she could at most become a reputed concubine. There was no way for her to become a legitimate wife. Wei Yuewu inexplicably thought of the medicine bottle in her mother’s room and a trace of hatred appeared in her eyes.

She knew whom to look for when it came to that medicine bottle…

The fleet of carriages stopped in front of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. The Madam Dowager had already received the message and was welcoming them at the gate of the mansion with her two sons and grandchildren.

Marquis Hua Yang got out of the carriage. As soon as he saw the Madam Dowager, he hurriedly took two steps forward and was about to kneel down to salute the Madam Dowager.

“Greetings, Mother!”

However, the Madam Dowager stopped him from kneeling down. “Are you alright? Have you recovered yet? I’ll ask the doctor to check your health conditions later on. Although it is just an old wound, it still matters if it keeps bothering you. You cannot underestimate it!”

“Mother, I’m fine!” Wei Luowen didn’t insist to kneel down. He stood up with the support of the Madam Dowager and greeted his two younger brothers who were standing at the side.

“Greetings, Madam Dowager!” Concubine Dong walked over at this moment and knelt down in front of the Madam Dowager while kowtowing three times.

“Stand up! You have made great contributions to our family. Over the years, you have worked very hard to serve the Lord Marquis. Without you staying by his side, I would always live with worries. However, you don’t have to bother making any dress in person for Yuewu, since you’ve been quite busy serving the Marquis. I could see that you must spend a lot of time and effort to make the dress stitch by stitch. Even one’s own mother won’t dedicate so much effort as you do.”

The Madam Dowager sighed and asked Nanny Hong to help Concubine Dong up.

“Madam Dowager, it’s… it’s my fault to have sent a wrong message so that the dress that was supposed to be given to the Sixth Young Lady was given to Yuejiao, and the one for Yuejiao was given to the Sixth Young Lady. I’m ready to receive your punishment!” Concubine Dong’s face was full of shame and she refused to stand up with Nanny Hong’s support. She kept lowering her head and kneeling on the ground.

“The dresses were given to the wrong persons?” The Madam Dowager frowned in confusion. When she found Wei Yuejiao and Wei Yuewu coming over, her face darkened.

She had clearly asked Nanny Hong to give that gorgeous dress to Wei Yuewu and the poor dress to Wei Yuejiao. How come the two of them were wearing the other’s dress?

“Madam Dowager, it’s all because I didn’t make it clear to the person I sent here!” Concubine Dong lowered her head and said obediently as if it was really because she failed to explain it clearly to the person who delivered the dresses.

Her every move was filled with sincerity, and it was easy for people to have a good impression of her! Wei Yuewu could only find such sincerity in Wei Qiufu in the past. But Wei Qiufu was merely an unmarried young lady so that her “performance” couldn’t compare to that of Concubine Dong.

Wei Yuewu’s eyelids raised slightly and a cold smile appeared in her watery eyes. Obviously, this Concubine Dong was indeed difficult to deal with. Just in a short while, Concubine Dong had come up with a proper solution to deal with her.

Well, Concubine Dong was not the only person who was good at acting, so was Wei Yuewu. Wei Yuewu walked forward and said to the Madam Dowager with embarrassment, “Grandmother, it’s my fault. When Third Elder Sister asked to change her dress for mine, I shouldn’t agree!”

“That’s sheer nonsense. In fact, you were the one that requested to change our dresses!” Wei Yuejiao had already received Concubine Dong’s instruction when she was in the carriage. So she would never admit what she had done at the moment. Only four persons were present when the two of them exchanged their dresses. No one could prove that Wei Yuewu was telling the truth.

Of course, Wei Yuewu could understand what Wei Yuejiao was trying to convey. Her eyes lit up and she asked Wei Yuejiao with an amazed expression, “Are you claiming that I requested to change my dress for yours? Are you referring to this dress?”

“Yes, you are right. Just this dress. This dress was clearly made for me by my concubine mother. Why did you take it away by force, so that I could only receive our father in your dress?”

Wei Yuejiao was furious. There was no possibility to explain herself away after the dispute happened at the city gate. With Concubine Dong’s explanation, Wei Yuejiao finally realized that she had fallen into Wei Yuewu’s trap. So she decided to blame Wei Yuewu for everything.

“Are you saying that Concubine Dong especially made this dress for me?” Wei Yuewu raised her eyebrows and smiled warmly.

“Of course. That’s why you took away my dress. You believed that Concubine Dong would certainly make a good dress for me. You never expected that Concubine Dong would give the better dress to you. You are indeed a stingy person trying to understand what a generous person is thinking about!” Wei Yuejiao said proudly. As said by her concubine mother, no one was able to prove that Wei Yuewu was telling the truth in any case.

Grandmother personally gave the two dresses to her and Wei Yuewu. The two of them knew which dress was their own! In fact, Grandmother was especially giving the fine dress to Wei Yuewu. By exchanging the dresses, Wei Yuewu was going against Grandmother’s will this time. Therefore, it was impossible for Wei Yuewu to get away with it!

Wei Yuewu smiled faintly. Of course, she would not explain who requested to change the dresses first. Instead, she asked, “Third Elder Sister, is your dress particularly wonderful so that I took it away by force?”

“Are you saying this dress is especially wonderful? Sixth Younger Sister, your dress is made by Concubine Dong in person. She especially selected quality materials and made it for you stitch by stitch.” Wei Yuejiao said angrily. Wei Yuejiao was indeed angry as she remembered how her mother worked hard to make the dress for Wei Yuewu but not for her.

Why could Wei Yuewu, a motherless bitch, get all of her mother’s attention? However, to Wei Yuejiao’s disappointment, her father didn’t say any kind words to her upon finding the fact.

“Isn’t Third Elder Sister’s dress better than mine?” Wei Yuewu tugged at the dress she was wearing and asked.

Wei Yuejiao was so angry that she even burst into laughter. “Wei Yuewu, you are indeed a bumpkin. This dress is even poorer than the dress of any maidservant in this mansion. Only you would believe this is a good dress!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Dong’s face changed. Just as Concubine Dong was about to speak, she found Wei Luowen’s cold gaze sweeping over. She immediately lowered her head.

“Third Elder Sister, is the life at the border so difficult that Concubine Dong couldn’t find any quality cloth after she made the dress for me so that you had to wear such a poor dress?” Wei Yuewu showed a surprising look as she swept over the maidservants and nannies behind Concubine Dong.

One could see that the dress worn by those maids and nannies were made of better cloth than Wei Yuewu’s dress.

At this moment, no one cared about who took away whose dress. Everyone could see that Concubine Dong had a sinister design when she sent two completely different dresses to the mansion.

“Mother, let’s go in and talk!” Wei Luowen glanced coldly at Concubine Dong and reached out his hand to support the Madam Dowager. He turned around and started to walk into the mansion, leaving Concubine Dong kneeling on the ground.

The Madam Dowager swept her gaze across Concubine Dong’s face before she turned around and walked in. She instructed lightly, “Stand up! Don’t kneel at the gate!”

Nanny Hong walked at the end of the crowd and looked at Concubine Dong, who was so clever and tricky in the past. She couldn’t help but feel terrified upon thinking that Concubine Dong suffered such a huge loss on the first day she returned to the mansion.
