Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 123 – Miss Yang As The Defender Of Justice

“Fourth Elder Sister, why did you pull me?” Wei Yuewu almost hung half of her body on Jin Ling’s body. Anyone could see that she was trying her best to hold her breath.

“Sixth Younger Sister… wasn’t it you… who pushed me?” Wei Qiufu did not expect Wei Yuewu to escape under such a situation. Not only did she escape, she was actually able to confront her now. Her eyes couldn’t help but reveal a trace of panic. However, she instantly calmed down. The corners of her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked as if she didn’t dare to believe what had happened.

“I pushed you?” Wei Yuewu covered her shoulders with her hand. Her face was pale and bloodless. She only laughed softly, “I pushed you, so I almost hit the tip of the sword myself and died.”

I wanted to frame you, so I myself became a victim!

Such logic could not make sense in any case. Wei Qiufu could not find anything to explain this logic. She was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect that the situation would be like this at all.

“Sixth Young Lady, it was you who pushed our Miss. Otherwise, how could our Miss fall forward by accident? She was standing right in front of you at that time.” When Ming Yan saw that her Miss was choked, she immediately raised her voice and said, pointing out that Wei Qiufu was standing in front of Wei Yuewu.

Wei Yuewu looked coldly at Ming Yan, then she turned her head to look at Jin Ling. Of course, she didn’t need to answer a maidservant’s question.

Jin Ling understood and coldly snorted, “Our Miss was indeed standing behind your Miss, but when your Miss fell out, she actually pulled on the sleeve of our Miss. And she also hinted that our Miss had pushed her. At that time, the situation was in a complete mess. How did Fourth Young Lady know clearly that she fell out because of our Miss, so that she deliberately pulled our Miss out?”

No one saw whether Wei Yuewu had pushed Wei Qiufu or not. However, several people had seen Wei Qiufu pulling Wei Yuewu’s sleeve. Hearing what Jin Ling said, they began to gaze at Wei Qiufu dubiously.

Could it be that this Fourth Miss Wei was not as gentle and kind as described by the popular rumor? What was her motive for pulling the Sixth Miss Wei’s sleeve and pulling her out?

Moreover, she had no reason to claim that the one who pushed her out was the Sixth Miss Wei because the Sixth Miss Wei was standing behind her.

Wei Qiufu did not expect Wei Yuewu’s maidservant to be so sharp-tongued. Seeing her maidservant blushed after being ridiculed, she was unable to explain herself for a moment.

“Fourth Young Lady, whether it was our Miss who pushed you or not, you had definitely pulled our Miss out like this and caused her to dash towards the assassin’s sword. If it wasn’t for the quick reaction of our Miss, she would have died on the spot. In that case, Fourth Young Lady could say whatever she wanted without being questioned.”

Jin Ling was furious that she had left Wei Yuewu in danger due to her negligence. At this moment, she would not consider the face of Wei Qiufu and directly pointed out it was she who deliberately murdered Wei Yuewu.

“I was pushed into a panic. I didn’t know what I was holding in my hand.” Looking at the suspicious gazes from the surrounding people, Wei Qiufu had no choice but to explain herself despite the hatred for Wei Yuewu in her heart.

Originally, she thought that she could kill two birds with one stone, but she didn’t expect that something had gone wrong. Now, she was even at a disadvantage…

“Sixth Young Lady, it was… you who pushed Fourth Young Lady… I… I saw it.” A timid voice intervened.

Everyone looked back and saw Yang Yuyan limping over with the help of Jin’er.

Yang Yuyan was also in a very sorry state. Her hairpins were in a mess, and her face was stained with dust. Jin Ling had been under desperation and kicked her in the waist. At this time, Yang Yuyan was feeling pain in her waist. A slight movement would make her whole body tremble with pain and shed cold sweats.

She had just stood beside Wei Qiufu and Wei Yuewu, which was an excellent position. Therefore, her statement immediately testified for the innocence of Wei Qiufu.

“I pushed Fourth Elder Sister?” Wei Yuewu endured the dizziness and turned to Yang Yuyan with a mocking smile on her lips.

“Yes… Yes!” As if she was afraid of Wei Yuewu, Yang Yuyan stopped two steps away from her and didn’t dare to take another step forward.

Yang Yuyan had just been standing with Wei Yuewu, and the two of them had entered the main hall at the same time. She had followed Wei Yuewu closely along the way, an indication of friendly relationship between the two of them. So she seemed to be the only person to tell the truth that it was Wei Yuewu who pushed Wei Qiufu at the time.

“Miss Yang, did you see it with your own eyes?” Wei Yuewu said coldly.

“I… I saw it!” Yang Yuyan stammered with a delicate look on her face. But when she saw that all the other people were watching her, she tried to nerve herself and said with her face flushing, “I was standing beside the two Miss Wei’s and saw Sixth Miss Wei push Fourth Miss Wei with my own eyes. If… if Sixth Miss Wei had not gone overboard, how could I have testified for Fourth Miss Wei regardless of such a good relationship with Sixth Miss Wei?”

“Miss Yang, do you have a good relationship with our Miss? Our Miss didn’t know you before, and she even never knew who you were. It was you who took the initiative to deliver medicine to our Miss and accompany our Miss here, and you kept following our Miss and didn’t leave. If this relationship is considered good, I really suspect that you are deliberately pestering our Miss with ulterior motives.”

Jin Ling snorted coldly and retorted.

She was a maidservant, so her words were not as graceful or roundabout as the daughters of aristocratic families. At this moment, she could already tell that Yang Yuyan had ill intentions, so her words were even sharper.

Jin’er, who was beside her, wanted to mouth back, but when she saw the Crown Prince and the two princesses standing in front of her, she opened her mouth but did not dare to speak.

“I… I felt like seeing an old friend at first sight of Sixth Miss Wei. We shared the same situation that caused us to cherish each other and immediately become good friends. But I didn’t expect Sixth Miss Wei to be such a person!” Being questioned by a maidservant, Yang Yuyan’s face turned red, but she still finished her words with anger.

“So Miss Yang, you are doing boldly what is righteous?” Wei Yuewu looked at her coldly, a trace of mockery flashing through her eyes. She finally figured out why Wei Qiufu wanted her to share a courtyard with Yang Yuyan.

She had intended to create an illusion that the two of them were very close to each other.

In that case, after the incident, if Yang Yuyan testified for Wei Qiufu, people would easily believe that Wei Yuewu was the one who plotted against Wei Qiufu.

Moreover, according to Wei Qiufu’s scheme, she would be severely injured even if she didn’t die. In that case, they could say anything they wanted. What was more, judging from the direction Wei Qiufu had dashed forward and the fact that Wei Qiufu had fallen into Wen Tianyao’s arms, Wei Yuewu came to a conclusion even without thinking that Wei Qiufu not only wanted to harm her, but also intended to take this incident as a chance to buddy up with Wen Tianyao.

She was indeed trying to kill two birds with one stone…

Yang Yurou’s body trembled in the crowd, and her brows furrowed tightly.

‘”I… I just can’t bear to see Sixth Young Lady being so vicious at such a young age. Fourth Miss Wei is so kind to you, but you pushed her out at that dangerous moment. If Fourth Miss Wei wasn’t lucky enough, she would have died!” At the time, there was no turning back for Yang Yuyan, so she had no choice but to make further accusations against Wei Yuewu.

“I thought that Sixth Young Lady was a good person, so I made friends with Sixth Young Lady. If I had known that Sixth Young Lady was such a person, I… I would never be willing to make friends with Sixth Young Lady.”

“Miss Yang, did you mean that you have always been a righteous person, so whenever you see something wrong, you will immediately stand out to uphold justice? Well, it seems that the rumors about Miss Yang are all false, and that someone must be trying to frame up Miss Yang.” Wei Yuewu smiled softly.

She could hardly stand due to the intermittent stabbing pain of the wound in her shoulder. Cold sweats began to appear on her body, but she still stood there firmly supporting herself with Jin Ling’s hands.

Seeing the sweats dripping from her delicate white forehead, Yan Huaijing showed a trace of coldness on his face, but he still stood there with his hands folded behind his back. The imperial doctor he brought stood closely behind him and looked at Wei Yuewu with admiration in his eyes. As an imperial doctor, he knew that Wei Yuewu’s injuries were not minor at first sight.

It was truly admirable that such a thin and weak unmarried young lady could actually stand there with a calm expression.

Wen Tianyao’s gaze landed on Wei Yuewu’s face. Then, he looked at Wei Yuewu’s bloody shoulder. He inexplicably frowned and felt his heart throbbing in a way that made him very uncomfortable!

Another person in the crowd was touched by Wei Yuewu’s words. Yang Yurou bit her lips and looked at Wei Yuewu. Then, she shifted her gaze to Yang Yuyan and finally gazed at the face of the Fourth Princess. Her feet moved slightly.

Yang Yuyan didn’t know how to respond to Wei Yuewu’s words. Anywhere, she couldn’t boast about her justice in front of the Crown Prince!

“Sixth Younger Sister, stop talking. Just take it as my fault. When I fell out, I shouldn’t grab your sleeve and pull you forward so that you were in trouble. How are your injuries? Do you want to let the imperial doctor take a look at your conditions?” Wei Qiufu opened her mouth at the right time, trying to make people believe that she did not want to pursue the matter and that she was generous and tolerant of Wei Yuewu.

She pushed away the hands of the nanny beside her and walked over, seemingly with the intention to help Jin Ling support Wei Yuewu.

Jin Ling vigilantly stretched out her hand to keep her off and angrily berated her.

“Fourth Young Lady, you had better stay away from our Miss. When you were away from our Miss, our Miss was fine. As soon as you got close to our Miss, our Miss was framed for pushing you and almost lost her life. Who knows what else will happen next?”

“It was clearly Sixth Young Lady who pushed our Miss and she herself also fell out for unknown reasons. She was unlucky and hit the sword. Miss Yang also testified. Our Miss had shown her generosity and decided not to pursue the matter, but you guys still continued to press hard. Our Miss almost had an accident because of Sixth Young Lady. Do you even expect our Miss to apologize to Sixth Young Lady?”

Ming Yan couldn’t stand it when she saw Jin Ling stretching her hand to block Wei Qiufu.

“Yes… yes, I saw it. It was Sixth Miss Wei who pushed Fourth Miss Wei.” Yang Yuyan interrupted in time and immediately brought everyone back to their original topic.

“Miss Yang, did you really see me pushing Fourth Elder Sister?” Wei Yuewu fought back her dizziness and her gaze fell on Yang Yurou, who was slowly walking over with some hesitation. She sighed softly, “Indeed, there is still a good daughter in the Assistant Minister Yang’s mansion. It seems that the title will absolutely go to Eldest Miss Yang when the Assistant Minister Yang’s mansion undergoes the selection process.”

This sentence was not spoken aloud. Only the people close to her heard it. Yan Huaijing stood beside Wei Yuewu and heard it clearly. He was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Yang Yurou also heard this. She paused for a moment and her expression turned cold.
