Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 138 – Emergency, Wei Qiufu’S Snooping Eyes

“It’s related to Mo Huating!” Yan Huaijing smiled lazily at Wei Yuewu.

Related to Mo Huating again? Wei Yuewu was slightly stunned. Mo Huating seemed to be harboring countless secrets, and these secrets were inextricably linked to her cancellation of their marriage contract.

“Your Heir-apparent, do you want me to…” Wei Yuewu asked hesitantly.

“There’s no hurry. You only need to be the Sixth Young Lady of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Take care not to let anyone take your life!” Yan Huaijing looked down at her with a clear smile on his lips and said meaningfully. He reached out to and touched Wei Yuewu’s hair before turning around to leave.

He wore an inconspicuous but luxurious robe. As he walked, his wide robe and large sleeves swung like waves, making him look exceptionally elegant.

“Miss, let’s go.” Jin Ling came out of nowhere.

“Let’s go!” Wei Yuewu nodded and started to walk back. This place was a place where one was apt to get into trouble, so it was not suitable for her to stay here for long.

“Miss, follow me this way. His Heir-apparent has instructed me to take you away through the unpaved trail. There may be people coming from the front.” Jin Ling grabbed Wei Yuewu’s sleeve and pointed at a path hidden in the depths of the plum forest.

Wei Yuewu nodded and followed Jin Ling down the path. Someone must have come to check the situation after something like happened. The dukes of the four vassal states and the royal family were all well-informed. People should be arriving here in no time.

Actually, the path was not easy to walk. Furthermore, it was a path covered with plum blossoms and there were a few branches that reached out horizontally and blocked the way. Fortunately, Jin Ling walked in the front to clear the way for her so that she was able to move along quickly, however, her dress was inevitably hooked by a few branches.

Wei Yuewu did not know that immediately after she had left with Jin Ling, Yan Huaijing, Wen Tianyao, Chu Fangnan, and Qi Yunhao appeared on the spot where the accident had just occurred.

The four of them arrived almost at the same time. After exchanging a glance, the three heirs-apparent greeted Wen Tianyao one after another. As for the reason they gathered here, it was of course a tacit understanding between them…

Wei Yuewu and Jin Ling headed to the main hall where eternal lamps were placed. Just as they were about to get out of the plum forest, they suddenly saw Shufei standing under the plum tree in front of the hall. She was looking around nervously.

Wei Yuewu stopped behind a plum tree and signaled to Jin Ling, who nodded and walked out of the plum forest towards Shufei.

Seeing Jin Ling, Shufei was overjoyed and hurriedly ran over. “Sister Jin Ling, where is Miss?”

“What is the matter?” Seeing that there was no one else, Wei Yuewu walked out from behind the tree.

“Miss!” Seeing Wei Yuewu appear in front of her safe and sound, Shufei heaved a sigh of relief.

“Miss, Fourth Young Lady came here looking for you. She heard that you had come to offer sacrifices to Madam and she insisted to come. Now she is away preparing offerings and I am waiting here to report to you.”

The several major maids serving Wei Yuewu were all dubious about Wei Qiufu and believed that she was not having good intentions towards their mistress.

“When did it happen?” Wei Yuewu asked after pondering for a moment.

“She should be coming soon. I have been waiting here for a while.” Shufei looked at the sky and said. It was almost dusk, and the sky gradually darkened.

Wei Yuewu looked at her dress. Although it looked fine on the whole, there were the stains left by some petals that had fallen on her as she moved through the plum forest. Even though she had slapped the plum blossoms off, there were still some traces left on her dress. Wei Qiufu was a careful person, and she would definitely discover something. It was really unsuitable to see her.

However, she couldn’t return to the plum forest in order to avoid her. The plum forest would definitely be heavily guarded by now. Other than the plum forest, there was only one way, which passed through the main hall. Wei Qiufu was coming, so the two of them would definitely collide head-on.

“Miss, what should we do?” Shufei also saw Wei Yuewu’s current conditions and asked anxiously.

“Let’s go, let’s enter the main hall!” Wei Yuewu made up her mind and pointed at the Buddha hall.

“Miss, it’s very dark inside. There are no Buddhist lamps burning in the middle of the hall. There are only a few eternal lamps that give weak light!” Shufei had already observed the surroundings in the hall when she was looking for Wei Yuewu previously.

It was dusk, and the sky was half dark. Even if the nuns of the Plum Blossom Nunnery were to come over and light the lamps, there were so many Buddha halls and it would take a long time before they came to this remote Buddha hall. The inside of the hall was actually darker than the outside.

“Go into the main hall!” Looking at the sky, Wei Yuewu had already made up her mind. Wei Qiufu was definitely coming with ill intentions, but coincidentally, she also had something to ask her…

Wei Yuewu was also curious about this seemingly extraordinary Fourth Miss Wei. Despite being a weak unmarried young lady, she didn’t seem to be as simple as she appeared on the surface!

She whispered to Jin Ling, who nodded her head repeatedly to show her understanding. Then, she left Jin Ling behind and brought Shufei into the main hall.

“Yes, I will do as Miss has said!”

Jin Ling nodded. She stood under the plum tree and watched Wei Yuewu enter the hall. Then, she heard a faint voice coming from the corner. Sure enough, the Fourth Young Lady couldn’t wait to come…

She flashed and disappeared behind the plum tree, quietly waiting for Wei Qiufu to appear…

Wei Qiufu felt that her mood was not bad today. Not only did she obtain a rare ancient qin, she also obtained a qin score sealed in the hidden box. She read the qin score carefully. It was a complete copy of qin score of the famous Confession of Love, and what was circulated in the world was only an incomplete version.

Wei Qiufu had already tried it herself, and her qin skills were not bad. She only played a little and knew that this copy of qin score was genuine.

There was nothing to doubt. This qin score, coupled with her qin playing skills, was enough to make her feel confident of winning the best title at the coming banquet.

The only thing she hesitated about was that playing such a tune on such an occasion was quite inconsistent with her usual elegant and dignified image.

She couldn’t let the Crown Prince think that she was a frivolous person!

Just as she was hesitating, she heard that Wei Yuewu went out despite her sickness. Her eyes immediately lit up and she had an idea. Then, she hurriedly took Ming Yan to Wei Yuewu’s courtyard. Hearing that Wei Yuewu had been out to worship her birth mother, she hurriedly said that she wanted to worship her eldest aunt as well.

“Miss, is Sixth Young Lady still there at this time? Could it be that she has already gone back?” Ming Yan looked at the dim sky and asked.

“Have we seen her all along the way?” Wei Qiufu shook her head. She had specifically chosen the path that Wei Yuewu must take to return to her courtyard.

“Miss, has Sixth Young Lady discovered anything?” Ming Yan was a little worried. Previously, she had thought that with her Miss’ intelligence, dealing with the Sixth Young Lady was just a piece of cake. But now, she did not dare to think like that anymore.

“You just have to deal with the situation carefully later.” Wei Qiufu shook her head, a trace of malice flashing through her eyes. She really didn’t believe Wei Yuewu’s luck would be so good.

You can escape once, but you can’t escape twice…

“Yes, Miss. Oh…see, is that the Sixth Young Lady?” At this moment, they had just turned the corner and were facing the main hall. Ming Yan’s eyes were sharp and she noticed that a woman’s dress flashed past the plum forest beside the main hall. She hurriedly pointed to the direction and said to Wei Qiufu.

“Let’s go take a look.” Wei Qiufu also saw it and frowned. After thinking for a while, she took Ming Yan to the plum forest. Well, the plum forest was actually not a bad choice.

However, when they entered the plum forest, the figure in front of them had almost disappeared, and they could only see her dress faintly.

“Sixth Younger Sister, what are you doing there?” Wei Qiufu took a few steps forward and shouted.

However, the woman ahead seemed to ignore her and continued to walk forward. In order to catch up to the woman, Wei Qiufu had her dress hooked at several places. Ming Yan carefully helped her get loose. However, even so, some stains were still left on her dress.

“Sixth Younger Sister, what are you hiding for? I’ve seen you!” Wei Qiufu stopped, a trace of anger appearing on her face. She looked at the figure in front of her and said unhappily.

“Is Fourth Young Lady looking for our Miss?” Jin Ling stopped and walked out from the plum bushes in front of Wei Qiufu.

“Where’s your Miss?” Wei Qiufu’s eyes lit up.

“Our Miss is in the Buddha hall. She saw that the plum blossoms here are good. She asked me to get one back.” Jin Ling raised a few branches with beautiful plum blossoms in her hand and said.

“Your Miss has been in the main hall all the time?” Wei Qiufu’s eyes flickered as she asked.

“Yes, if Fourth Young Lady is looking for our Miss, then go to the main hall ahead. I need to pick a few more pretty branches of plum blossoms for our Miss.” Jin Ling replied with a smile.

Since Wei Yuewu wasn’t here, Wei Qiufu naturally wouldn’t continue to chase after Jin Ling. With a smile on her face, Wei Qiufu turned around and returned to the main hall.

The winter sky darkened quickly. Because they had delayed for a while here in the plum forest, the main hall was already dark and quiet.

The door of the hall was closed slightly. Ming Yan pushed on the heavy door. The creaking sound in the darkness was actually very frightening. Ming Yan shivered for a moment and looked back at Wei Qiufu. Seeing her unmoved expression, she could only push the door open forcefully.

The door was fully opened, and it was pitch-black inside, and they couldn’t see anything clearly, “Miss… It seems that nobody…”

“Let’s go in and take a look.” Wei Qiufu ordered. She pushed open the door and walked in. The thought of Wei Yuewu being alone in the Buddha hall made her extremely excited.

Wei Yuewu was currently injured and her body was weak, so it was impossible for her to go back alone.

The sky had darkened. A young nun hurriedly came from outside the hall with an oil lamp in her hand. She was the little nun who was responsible for lighting up the lamps in the Buddha hall at night. Plum Blossom Nunnery was like other Buddhist nunneries. Many of the lamps in its Buddha halls were not extinguished overnight. Moreover, there were so many noble people living in the nunnery these days, so they must be extremely careful with their work.

However, she didn’t take a few steps before falling down. Without knowing what she had tripped over, the little nun fell on the ground heavily. She didn’t even snort before she fainted. The lamp in her hand rolled a few times on the ground and then went out!

Wei Qiufu walked into the main hall. There was no sound at the entrance of the main hall. There was no sound at all and were too deep and dark to be seen. Most of the eternal lamps dimmed out, and every layer was surrounded by gauze tent. In fact, the light wasn’t bright enough for people see clearly inside the hall. The gauze tent was lifted in the shadows, as if there were people.

“Miss…” Ming Yan wanted to say something, but Wei Qiufu stopped her. She picked up the corner of her dress and walked in gently. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. Wei Yuewu actually dared to ruin her big plan!

When she saw Wei Yuewu this time, she would not let her go no matter what. With the help of Ming Yan, she would definitely take Wei Yuewu’s life!

After the matter was done, she could say that Wei Yuewu was already dead when she came. She could blame Jin Ling for being negligent in her work. Even if that maid argued, what was the use?

Wei Qiufu had planned to find an opportunity to attack Wei Yuewu. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she naturally wouldn’t let it go.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of her, and Ming Yan cried out in alarm.

Terrified by the flickering light, Wei Qiufu couldn’t help but tremble for a moment and she shouted angrily in a low voice, “Shut up!”

“Miss… Miss, there’s… someone here!” Ming Yan stammered.
