So, a carriage had been following her and was now going to overtake her?
Wei Yuewu thought for a moment and then ordered in a low voice, "Stop. Let it pass first."
She chose to give way because she wanted to see what the carriage looked like. She didn't think anyone except those from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang and the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan would be interested in her.
As the carriage stopped, Jin Ling lifted the curtain for her.
Wei Yuewu watched the carriage slowly passing by. It was just an ordinary-looking carriage, a little larger than normal ones, but there was nothing peculiar.
However, with her sharp perception, Wei Yuewu noticed that the carriage was unusual. Though the curtain hanging over the door was dull brilliant azure, it was discernible with close observation that the four corners of the curtain were embroidered with dark golden lines. And the cloth, if she guessed right, should be tribute fro
"You damned servant, have you no eyes! Our young lady is the Sixth Miss Wei, the first daughter of Marquis Hua Yang. Move quickly to open the main door and welcome our young lady."Jin Ling scolded the servant with her hands on her waist.As a former maid of the mansion of the Duke of Yan State, she naturally did not show the slightest trace of panic in front of servants of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Now she simply declared Wei Yuewu’s identity to the servant."Whoever will buy in what you said! Our Sixth Young Lady can't look like that. Where does this girl come from? How dare she claim to be our Sixth Young Lady!"Casting a glance at Wei Yuewu, the servant twisted his mouth and said contemptuously, "Young lady, it’s true that wealth and rank are important, but you have to have the fate to enjoy them!"What he meant was clear: many girls had tried to pass off as the Sixth Miss Wei, and she was simply one of thes
The reason that Lady Li and Wei Yan opened the main door to welcome Wei Yuewu was that they didn't want the situation to spiral out of their control.Wei Yuewu sneered in her heart. No matter what Lady Li and her daughter were thinking of, no one could deny that at this moment, she made an aggressive return to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. She, Wei Yuewu, was the most distinguished young lady in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang!At last, the heavy main door was slowly opened. The male servants no longer dared to be disrespectful as before. They stood in two rows to greet Wei Yuewu as she walked in. The old maidservant led the way for Wei Yuewu in a submissive manner. Although she appeared very deferential, a trace of schadenfreude flashed on her face when she lowered her head.As a maidservant serving Wei Yan, she understood very well the temper of her young lady, who would definitely make things difficult for the Sixth Young Lady. As soon as
"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
