Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 165 – Which Miss Lived Here?

Jing Wenyan could not continue the conversation. Her eyes involuntarily fell on Wei Yuewu’s face. This was an extremely delicate little face. Instead of using heavy makeup and splendid jewelry, Wei Yuewu simply tied up her dark hair with a plum hairpin. However, this made her look as refreshing and beautiful as an orchid that emitted gorgeous and unworldly charm upon close look.

Although she was still somewhat childish, a few years later, she would definitely grow into a peerlessly stunning beauty. It should be very easy for such a woman to obtain a man’s heart!

However, if this person was Yan Huaijing, Jing Wenyan would feel that it was just a joke. The man who looked like a banished immortal from the sky always gave people a feeling of being aloof and detached from worldly affairs. Would such a man really fall into the mortal world for the sake of this girl in front of her?

Jing Wenyan had always been proud of her appearance. However, despite being in her prime as an unsurpassed beauty, she could not see a trace of fluctuation in Yan Huaijing’s eyes. Was he hiding his emotion too well, or was he really not interested in her?

This thought made Jing Wenyan very uncomfortable. Now, she even looked at Wei Yuewu with jealousy. Wei Yuewu was not necessarily better than her. But why did the message she got indicated that Yan Huaijing treated her differently?

If it was because of Marquis Hua Yang, then that Third Miss Wei was obviously much more useful than this Sixth Miss Wei.

Today, she had specially bumped into Wei Yuejiao before entering the mansion. She also entered the mansion with Wei Yuejiao with the aim of better observing Wei Yuejiao and Wei Yuewu so as to decide which of them was of more value to her.

Until now, however, her keen eyes had not discovered anything worthy of Yan Huaijing’s special attention in this Sixth Miss Wei in front of her.

“Sixth Miss Wei, that’s all I have to say! Please think twice about what I said before. The marriage between you and Marquis Jing Yuan has been annulled. If you don’t plan early, you will not only fail to marry the one you like, but also end up a concubine of another man. With your talent and appearance, you will definitely not accept such a fate!”

At this moment, Jing Wenyan had the intention to quit, so she stood up and uttered those words with smile on her face.

“Thank you, Miss Jing. I will carefully think about what you said to me. If in the future Miss Jing has anything for me to do, I will definitely offer my help as a return for your kindness to me today.” Wei Yuewu stood up and smiled generously.

Jing Wenyan’s eyes lit up as she landed her gaze on Wei Yuewu.

Her words weren’t something an ordinary unmarried girl should have said. Upon hearing Jing Wenyan’s words, an ordinary unmarried girl was supposed to blush and repeatedly deny the possibility of considering such a thing. However, she didn’t expect that this Sixth Miss Wei would actually dare to respond to her in such a generous manner. How could she not be surprised and think highly of Wei Yuewu?

Could it be that her judgements were wrong? It seemed that she still had to observe Wei Yuejiao and Wei Yuewu more!

Wei Yuewu naturally knew the impacts of her words on Jing Wenyan. Although she did not want to cooperate with Jing Wenyan, she did not want Jing Wenyan to gang up with Wei Yuejiao to deal with her either.

Wei Yuewu saw Jing Wenyan off at the entrance of the courtyard, where she let Shufei lead the way for Jing Wenyan. Then, she turned around and went back to her room.

Since Jing Wenyan had the intention to evaluate Wei Yuejiao and her, she naturally had to give Jing Wenyan a big gift. Wei Yuejiao, who had been suppressed by her today, must be extremely angry right now. It was simply the right time for Jing Wenyan to go over now…

Shufei led Jing Wenyan around several corridors on their way to the gate of the mansion.

“Which lady lives here?” After turning around a corner, Jing Wenyan suddenly stopped and pointed at the gate of a courtyard.

There was much luggage placed at the gate of the courtyard. It was obvious that someone had just returned from a long journey, and a group of maids and nurses were bustling about.

“It’s our Third Young Lady’s courtyard. Third Young Lady has just come back.” Shufei, who had already understood Wei Yuewu’s intention, replied with a smile.

“Your Third Young Lady brought so much luggage with her?” Jing Wenyan stopped curiously and pointed at the boxes on the ground. “I heard that your Third Young Lady comes back once a year. How could she have so much luggage after being away for just one year?”

“I don’t know. I am new in this mansion.” Seeing Jing Wenyan stop, Shufei naturally could not keep walking. She stopped and replied after having a look at the luggage.

“Were those maids and ladies also brought by Third Miss Wei?” Jing Wenyan asked with a beaming smile, as if she had really stopped to ask these questions out of curiosity.

“I don’t know them either. They might be new here. Perhaps those maids and nurses were brought back from the border by the Third Young Lady!” Shufei said uncertainly.

“The things at the border are really different from those in the capital.” Jing Wenyan’s expression was filled with admiration. Her gaze fell on the boxes, as if she was watching very seriously. Under such a situation, Shufei naturally could not urge her to leave. She could only stand aside and wait for Jing Wenyan.

At this time, they were standing at a conspicuous place outside Wei Yuejiao’s courtyard gate and Jing Wenyan gestured with her hand as she talked. As the two of them talked, a servant had already gone in to report to Wei Yuejiao.

Wei Yuejiao was venting her anger in the room. When she heard that Jing Wenyan was outside her courtyard, she immediately had her room cleaned up and brought someone to personally welcome Jing Wenyan!

Wei Yuejiao did value the identity and status of this eldest young lady of Jing State. Therefore, when she met Jing Wenyan at the gate of the mansion and learned that the eldest young lady of Jing State was paying a visit to the mansion, she brought her along without hesitation. She had hoped that Jing Wenyan would see Wei Yuewu being suppressed by her.

Thinking about it now, it was fortunate that grandmother had asked Jing Wenyan to have a rest elsewhere. Otherwise, Jing Wenyan would see her being humiliated by Wei Yuewu and this famous Miss Jing might look down on her. As long as she thought of this, her face would reveal some hatred.

So it was Wei Yuewu, right? It didn’t matter. Her good days would soon be over! So what if she got the upper hand for the time being?

Mother had vowed to trample this cheap bitch beneath her feet this time.

“Since Miss Jing has stopped outside my courtyard, why not come in and have a chat?” Wei Yuejiao hid the hatred on her face and walked over to Jing Wenyan with a smile.

“Well…” Jing Wenyan looked at Shufei at the side hesitantly!

Shufei lowered her head and remained silent.

“You are Sixth Younger Sister’s maid, right? You can go back first. Tell Sixth Younger Sister that Miss Jing wants to have a chat with me. I will send Miss Jing out later.”

Wei Yuejiao glanced sideways at Shufei and bluntly instructed. How could she let go of such a good opportunity to make friends with Miss Jing, who was famous all over the country.

“Yes, Third Young Lady.” Shufei helplessly nodded her head, turned around and left. When she turned over the corner, she cast a look at Wei Yuejiao and Jing Wenyan, who were walking towards the courtyard together. The corner of her lips curled into a trace of mockery.

Indeed, it was exactly as Miss had expected…

“Young miss, when we walked past Fengyi Courtyard, Miss Jing indeed stopped there. I talked with her there for some time and then the Third Young Lady came out to welcome Miss Jing and ordered me to go back first. She said she wanted to have a chat with Miss Jing.” Shufei reported to Wei Yuewu in the room back in Lotus Courtyard.

Wei Yuewu and Huamo were embroidering the pattern she had painted before.

They had just started the embroidering work and only finished the outline. Wei Yuewu had been raised in her maternal grandparents’ house over the years, so drawing and embroidery were the most common things for her. Besides, embroidery was also something that could only be done with a calm mind. Grandmother also asked her not to think too much because thinking too much would be harmful to her body. Therefore, she would do some needlework when she was free.

Her body was indeed somewhat innately weak. Fortunately, after so many years of recuperation, she was only slightly weaker than the average person.

Originally, she did not care about this, but today, hearing Wei Yuejiao’s words, she realized that her innate deficiency was no small matter.

“There’s no need to pay attention to them. I believe Miss Jing won’t be staying there for long.” Wei Yuewu replied without raising her head.

“Miss, will Miss Jing help the Third Young Lady and Concubine Dong…” Huamo didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone in the room could understand her.

Before Concubine Dong arrived, she had already asked the Madam Dowager to pass on the message that she wanted to become Marquise Hua Yang. She was acting so aggressively and her target was naturally the position of Marquise Hua Yang.

The Third Young Lady was now only a concubine-born daughter, but she was already so rude and arrogant towards Wei Yuewu. If she really became the legitimate daughter of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, how could there be a place for Wei Yuewu in the mansion?

The position of Marquise Hua Yang was not something that the Second Lady Li can match. Once becoming Marquise Hua Yang, Concubine Dong could righteously deal with Wei Yuewu and could even easily find trouble with her and punish her under the name of filial piety.

As for Marquis Hua Yang, none of the servants of Wei Yuewu had high hopes for him. Everyone chose to forget about this father.

“Concubine Dong will not become Marquise Hua Yang.” Wei Yuewu put down the embroidery in her hand and said coldly.

She would find out everything that had happened back then. No matter who it was that killed her mother, she would not let them go! Back then, she was only an ignorant kid. But now, she would never allow others to step on her and climb up no matter what!

“Shufei, take this and hand it to Miss Jing. Go to the place where her carriage is parked and give it to her when she comes out.” Wei Yuewu stood up and walked to the desk. She had just found an interesting book.

She had brought books of this kind from her maternal grandparents’ house with her to the capital.

This book was also taken out of a box that she found when she brought Yan Huaijing’s guards back to the scene of assassination after surviving Mo Huating’s deadly chase.

At that time, the box was thrown to the ground probably because there was nothing valuable inside. The assassins of Mo Huating who appeared in the disguise of robbers casually overthrew the box on the ground.

Thus, the box of books remained.

She had collected these books in her maternal grandparents’ house. They were basically rare and extinct books. There were also some books on foreign anecdotes. In the past, when Wei Yuewu was free, she would occasionally flip through them. Therefore, she was very familiar with some of the things in these books.

When she glanced at the sachets Wei Yuejiao sent over, she immediately knew what she meant. After Jing Wenyan left, she searched and found the book.

“I will go immediately.” Shufei took the book from Wei Yuewu’s hand. Although she did not understand the meaning behind it, she didn’t have the slightest bit of doubt of Wei Yuewu’s orders due to her admiration for her Miss.

The book wasn’t thick. It actually contained only a few thin pages, and it was even an incomplete edition. However, Wei Yuewu believed that Jing Wenyan could understand it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have said those words.

Wasn’t Jing Wenyan still hesitating? Although she couldn’t reveal all her trump cards, she wouldn’t let Jing Wenyan really become her opponent.

Or perhaps it could be said that this book was to intimidate this seemingly scheming Miss Jing!
