Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 116 – Wei Luowu Went Into A Fury

Soon, she picked up the corner of her skirt and slowly walked on. It was impossible for such a thing to happen. Moreover, this kind of thing was way too strange!

They couldn’t be unrelated. Besides, even if they didn’t have the mother-child relationship, the Madam Dowager didn’t have to care about father like that!

However, the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt the Madam Dowager’s attitude was!

Even a granddaughter who was born to a concubine and who wasn’t around the Madam Dowager could be the equal of a granddaughter who was born to a wife and was raised by the Madam Dowager. Was it really because of Concubine Dong?

Concubine Dong was merely a chief maid once. Even if she had served the Madam Dowager and had a bond with her former mistress, it was impossible for the Madam Dowager to treat her daughter so well that she was superior to even Wei Yan, a first daughter of the second branch.

If it wasn’t for the face of Concubine Dong, then it could only be for the sake of her irresponsible father, Marquis Hua Yang.

Wei Yuewu was not loved by Marquis Hua Yang, so the Madam Dowager did not care about her at all.

Wei Yuejiao was loved by Marquis Hua Yang, and the Madam Dowager also doted on her.

The implication behind this filled Wei Yuewu’s mind with hundreds of thoughts. A trace of mockery flashed in her eyes. It seemed that her father was not an ordinary person. She was truly looking forward to the family that was about to enter the capital soon.…

The carriage was parked right outside the gate and Jin Ling was waiting beside the carriage. Seeing Wei Yuewu approaching, she hurriedly took two steps and lifted the curtain. Shufei took a small stepping stool and helped Wei Yuewu get on the carriage.

After Wei Yuewu got on, the two maids followed her into the carriage. The carriage headed toward the outside of the city.

“Miss, are you going to see Nanny Han?” Shufei suggested. It had been some time since they went to see Nanny Han last time.

“We are not going to see Nanny Han this time.” Wei Yuewu shook her head and said softly. “I’m afraid it’s not going to be peaceful this time.”

Wei Qiufu wouldn’t ask the Third Princess to send her an invitation for no reason. She believed Wei Qiufu would be watching her as soon as she entered the Plum Blossom Nunnery. In order to avoid trouble, she had better not make a rash move.

“Miss, I’ve told Yan Feng and Yan Yang to go to the nunnery first.” Jin Ling was very cautious. She raised the curtain and looked outside before saying those words with a lowered voice.

Yan Feng and Yan Yang were the two guards that Yan Huaijing sent to Wei Yuewu that day. After teaching Xie Qingzhao a lesson, they followed Xie Qingzhao to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Now, they were Wei Yuewu’s guards and helped her investigate what was going on between Wei Luowu and Mo Huating. But they were still around Yan Huaijing when they were free.

Jin Ling was currently responsible for keeping contact with them. As this event had come so suddenly, she sent the two of them to get news first….

“When we arrive at Plum Blossom Nunnery, contact them and tell them not to take a rash move. I’m afraid that the Third Princess is not the only one who is coming. Let one of them come back and keep an eye on the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.” Wei Yuewu’s eyes looked through the slightly raised curtain and landed on the carriages outside. The carriages moved one after another, each stuck with a symbol of an aristocratic family.

The depths of her eyes were full of thoughts. It seemed that this so-called event of enjoying plums was not going to be usual!

Wei Qiufu had really prepared a big occasion for her.…

In the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, would Wei Luowu in his capacity as Wei Yan’s father agree to let Wei Yan become Xie Qingzhao’s concubine?

“Mother, I’m going to divorce that bitch.” Wei Luowu slapped his hand heavily on the table in the room, his eyes revealing a trace of irritation. As long as he thought of what Lady Li had done recently, Wei Luowu gritted his teeth in hatred.

He was the Minister of Rites. How could he not resent the fact that his wife was actually such a disgrace for him?

If this were to be spread to the court, how would he be able to hold his head high?

“My Second Son, don’t be impulsive. Even if Lady Li did something wrong, she was still Ziyang’s mother.” The Madam Dowager’s expression was very gloomy, but she remained calm.

Wei Luowu’s brows slightly relaxed when his son Wei Ziyang was mentioned, but he immediately frowned again. “If Ziyang knows that his mother was such a person, he will not forgive her. If she hadn’t caused so much trouble, Wei Yan wouldn’t have fallen to such a situation.”

When Wei Luowu thought that his own daughter Wei Yan was going to become a poor imperial academician’s concubine, his face was filled with displeasure. “Mother, Wei Yan can’t be Xie Qingzhao’s concubine.”

The Madam Dowager opened her eyes, which were cloudy but glittering. She glanced at Wei Luowu and said, “Second Son, now that things have come to this point, even if she doesn’t become Xie Qingzhao’s concubine, no one will be willing to marry her. Besides, she had lost her reputation in the Empress’s heart.”

“Mother, although Wei Yan is to blame, she is still my daughter. Our mansion of Marquis Hua Yang has already given up so much for their sake. After so many years of contribution, we at least deserve a certain amount of reward, if not credit! I will go and beg the Empress to appoint a marriage for Wei Yan.” Wei Luowu’s gaze froze, but he suddenly lost control of his emotions and became furious.

“Shut up!” The Madam Dowager shouted coldly. The teacup in her hand was smashed fiercely right at Wei Luowu’s feet. “Do you want to die? How dare you say such words!”

The air in the room cooled down because of the Madam Dowager’s reprimand. At the same time, Wei Luowu also calmed down.

Cold sweat appeared on his forehead. His eyes narrowed and landed on Nanny Hong who was standing at the side. The coldness and blood in his eyes caused Nanny Hong to lower her head even more. She stood behind the Madam Dowager and did not dare to move a bit.

Her hands beside her body trembled slightly but were under control immediately.

Wei Luowu’s gaze almost fell fiercely on Nanny Hong. He didn’t withdraw his gaze until a while later. When he raised his eyes again, the coldness between his eyebrows was gone. He sat down on the chair beside him and rubbed his eyebrows. “Mother, I… I lost my manners because I was too angry.”

The Madam Dowager didn’t say anything in a while. After Wei Luowu calmed down, she sighed and said in a low voice, “Second Son, I know that you are aggrieved, but we can still count on the future. If your eldest brother doesn’t turn out to be ungrateful in the future, he will definitely give you more than you expected.”

“Yes, Mother, I know. I just… feel sorry for Wei Yan.” Wei Luowu had regained his composure at this time. He opened his eyes, and the blood in his eyes had faded away. He was still the courteous Minister of Rites as he usually was.

“Elders have always cared about the marriages of their children throughout history. However, look at Wei Yan now. Her reputation is ruined. It is impossible for Marquis Jing Yuan to marry her.” The Madam Dowager sighed. Her eyes glittered but revealed helplessness.

After all, Wei Yan was still her own granddaughter she had doted on. It would be wrong to say there was no emotional bond between them. Seeing Wei Yan ended up in such a state, the Madam Dowager was filled with unwillingness.

“Mother, let’s announce that Yan died of illness!” Wei Luowu gritted his teeth. This was the only way out now!

“Died of illness?” The Madam Dowager was stunned and looked at her second son in confusion.

“Yes, mother, died of illness!” Wei Luowu had made up his mind at this time. He reiterated, “Announce that she died of illness, and then send her to the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan. She has always loved Marquis Jing Yuan. I want to grant her wish!”

“If she goes to the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan as a nobody, she will be even inferior to an ordinary concubine. Second Son, have you thought it through?” The Madam Dowager asked her second son in confusion.

“Mother, Marquis Jing Yuan will not marry for the time being. Wei Yan will be fine in his mansion. In the future… when the aftermath of things fades away, if we beg for a royal favor for Wei Yan, there is still hope for her.” Wei Luowu paused in the middle of his sentence, but all the three people in the room understood what he meant.

Nanny Hong stood there all the time, pretending that she didn’t exist and remaining motionless.

Feeling her son’s determination, the Madam Dowager sighed. “I’m getting old, and my health is getting worse every day. If you really think that way, then let it be so. You’re always my son, and Wei Yan my granddaughter.”

Seeing the Madam Dowager gave her consent, Wei Luowu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “Mother, you’re as healthy as ever and not old at all. I am hoping to serve you wholeheartedly. Don’t say such frustrating things. When Wei Yan becomes Marquise Jing Yuan, she will definitely thank you. It is because of your kindness that she is given a chance of hope.”

“Xie Qingzhao.…” The Madam Dowager revealed a smile as her son flattered her. However, she frowned soon. She had promised Xie Qingzhao that Wei Yan would be sent to his mansion.

“Mother, don’t worry. Xie Qingzhao is a villain with no moral or integrity. He is in a dubious relationship with Third Younger Brother’s daughter Qiufu. I’m sure he won’t dare to blab. Besides, if rumors about his stay in our mansion followed by Wei Yan’s death are spread out, his future is going to be ruined.”

Wei Luowu said disdainfully.

“Well, since you’ve thought it through, just do as you wish. It should be done sooner rather than later. But will Marquis Jing Yuan agree?”

The Madam Dowager got a handle against Xie Qingzhao in her hand, so she could keep him in rein. However, she felt things were difficult with Marquis Jing Yuan Mo Huating, who was different from Xie Qingzhao. He was a descendant of an aristocratic family and had many connections. If he did not agree, there would be no chance of success for this arrangement.

“Mother, don’t worry. Marquis Jing Yuan and Wei Yan can be considered to be in love with each other. Wei Yan really made a spectacle of herself last time in the palace, so he can’t openly marry her, but he can secretly let Wei Yan enter his mansion. In the future… there can be a chance for Wei Yan.”

Wei Luowu pounded his chest and assured the Madam Dowager.

“If you’ve made up your mind, do as you please!” The Madam Dowager nodded and leaned back. “You may go. I’m tired and want a rest.”

“Yes, Mother. You have a good rest.” Wei Luowu bowed respectfully and left.

He retreated to the door, stood at the porch and thought for a moment. He then walked towards the gate, ordering the servant beside him, “Take my name card to invite Marquis Jing Yuan here.”

“Yes, master.” The servant accepted the order and ran out quickly.
