Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 201 – Buck-Passing, Whose Responsibility Was It

The puppy had been dozing off, and there were many people present. There were even people who were so bored that they secretly compared the four puppies in the hands of the maids. They felt that Sixth Miss Wei’s puppy was the most dispirited. However, who would have thought that a puppy that was sound asleep in the previous moment would suddenly spring out and hurt people in the next moment?

Seeing the bloodstains on the ground and recalling the way Wei Fengyao had rolled on the ground while covering her face with her hands, whoever saw it would warn themselves that it would be better to stay away from puppies and kittens in the future.

“Why are all the other puppies normal, but your puppy alone was abnormal?” A cold expression appeared on Princess Nan’an’s face.

“Your Highness, I don’t know why the puppy suddenly acted like this, but just as that maid kept pushing me, I felt that the puppy moved a few times and was about to wake up. Moreover, that maid even pushed me to the back of our Miss. If I hadn’t let go of the puppy quickly just now, the puppy’s paws would have landed on our Miss’ face.”

After uttering those words, Jin Ling pointed at the maid who was now hiding in the crowd.

“She stayed close to me before the accident and left only after the accident took place!”

“You… come out!” Princess Nan’an’s eyes flashed with sharpness as she said sternly. Normally, she was extremely strict in managing the mansion. Although Wei Fengyao had the title of heiress-apparent and she had helped Princess Nan’an settle some matters, everyone in Prince Nan’an Mansion knew that this strict Princess Nan’an had always been in charge of the inner courtyard.

Intimidated by her glare, the other maids immediately retreated and that maid could not stand anymore. She knelt down with a plop and said, “Your Highness!”

“You were standing beside her just now?” Princess Nan’an asked sternly.

“I… I didn’t notice that!” The maid said timidly. She never imagined that Jin Ling would actually pay attention to her under such a situation.

“Your Highness, how about having someone search her body to see if she had anything unusual?” Wei Yuewu’s gaze circled around the maid’s face and said with a smile. There must be something wrong with the maid. Otherwise, the drowsy puppy would not have suddenly woken up and gone crazy.

Last night, when she went to see the puppy, she asked Jin Ling to roll its eyelids. Seeing that there was blood in the puppy’s eyes, she understood that there was something wrong with it. That was why she let Jin Ling carried the puppy for her today.

Huamo could compare with Jin Ling neither in terms of the speed of reaction nor skills.

Take that moment when the puppy went mad as an example. Jin Lin, who was spiritually connected to Wei Yuewu, did not hold the puppy. Instead, she pushed it forward towards Wei Fengyao. Thus, the claws that were originally targeting Wei Yuewu’s face landed on Wei Fengyao’s face fiercely.

First, it was the safety talisman, then there was this plan to ruin her appearance. Wei Fengyao was actually so ruthless in her attack.

Wei Yuewu sneered in her heart. If it was her who was in trouble at this moment, even if she really felt that there was something unusual about that writing brush, she would not be able to use it as evidence here. After all, it was a writing brush used by a man, and there might even be an affair behind it.

Wei Fengyao had precisely calculated that even if something happened to her, she could only suffer this loss silently. Moreover, there was the matter of picking the safety talisman of the Fourth Prince. If Wei Fengyao’s scheme worked well, Wei Yuewu would become a woman who didn’t behave herself, had an affair with a man and was disfigured. Well, such an image was enough to make Wei Yuewu doomed eternally beyond redemption.

However, Wei Fengyao would never have imagined that even if Wei Yuewu didn’t take out that writing brush, she was still able to make her the victim of her own scheme…

“Search her!” Princess Nan’an nodded and ordered.

The person who had come to examine the dog was precisely an expert in Prince Nan’an Mansion. At this time, he walked over to search the maid, but for a moment, he did not find anything.

The maid panicked at first, but at this time, she slowly calmed down. She took out all the things on her body in a cooperative manner. She placed them on the table one by one. They were just ordinary things, and there wasn’t anything suspicious.

“Sixth Younger Sister, my maid only passed by your maid once in a while. How can there be anything suspicious on her? Sixth Younger Sister, you hurt me. Do you still want to shirk your responsibility?” A voice filled with hatred came from the side. Everyone turned around and saw Wei Fengyao walking over with her face wrapped in a scarf.

Her wound had been treated, and her tightly wrapped face revealed only a pair of venomous eyes.

How could she not hate Wei Yuewu? Just now, when the doctor was dealing with her wound, even though it was so painful, she suddenly realized that all of this must have something to do with Wei Yuewu.

Her scheme was planned both exquisitely and thoroughly. Even Wei Qiuju who conspired with her didn’t know the entire scheme. However, who would have thought that not only did she discover that Wei Qiuju was having an affair with her husband, but she was actually the one being scratched in the face by the puppy? How could she not hate Wei Yuewu?

Therefore, she tried her best to endure the pain and came to testify against Wei Yuewu.

“Eldest Sister, why did you think this maid would not harm you? Could it be that she was your most trusted servant?” Wei Yuewu smiled and asked calmly.

“She is my maid, and I know very well that it is impossible for her to harm me!” Wei Fengyao sneered.

“But at that time, if I didn’t dodge in time, then the puppy would have scratched me. Eldest Sister, you were not her target. You were just an innocent victim.” Wei Yuewu lifted her clear eyes and said meaningfully.

The Fourth Prince was the one who saw the whole process of the accident. At that time, he was so shocked that he subconsciously wanted to pull Wei Yuewu. However, because the two of them were far away, he failed to reach Wei Yuewu. But even so, he still felt cold sweat on his palms. At that moment, he really thought that this beautiful girl would be disfigured.

“That dog’s target should be Sixth Miss Wei!” Seeing that Wei Fengyao was so aggressive, the Fourth Prince couldn’t help but say coldly.

“Ruoming, is that true?” Hearing the Fourth Prince’s words, Princess Nan’an turned to Wen Ruoming, her son and Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an.

The heir-apparent looked at Wei Fengyao and then at the Fourth Prince. He didn’t know which side he should take. He and Wei Fengyao had just been married for several months and Wei Fengyao was quite gentle and attentive to him. The two of them were now a sweet couple. However, he couldn’t offend the Fourth Prince either.

In addition, Wei Qiuju was now standing behind him. Wei Qiuju had offended the Fourth Prince before. If he offended the Fourth Prince again, he would be in a difficult situation if the Fourth Prince got angry and refused to help him. Thinking about Wei Qiju’s delicate and pitiful appearance and Wei Fengyao’s current situation, the heir-apparent felt that it was better for him to tell the truth.

The Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an made up his mind and said, “Mother, it was indeed the case at that time. Sixth Miss Wei almost got hurt. Somehow, when the dog sprang out, it actually jumped to the front of Fengyao and scratched Fengyao in the face.”

“Your Heir-apparent… you… you actually spoke up for outsiders!” Wei Fengyao pointed at the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an in disbelief as if she had received a heavy blow. Her eyes were filled with sorrow and anger.

“Your Heiress-apparent, it was true that something bad almost happened to Sixth Miss Wei at that time. We were speaking in good conscience.” Since the Fourth Prince had told the truth, and even the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an didn’t lie for Wei Fengyao, the other young masters present naturally also told the truth, and a few of them even tried to convince Wei Fengyao of what had happened.

“Your Highness, there’s nothing abnormal!” The person came to report after searching the maid’s body.

Wei Fengyao sneered. She didn’t believe that Wei Yuewu could find out anything. Since Wei Yuewu couldn’t find out anything, she had something to say. No matter what, it was Wei Yuewu’s dog that scratched her.

Wei Yuewu, however, wasn’t in a hurry. She pointed at the other three puppies and ordered Jin Ling, “Go, bring the other puppies here.”

“Yes!” Jin Ling walked over and carried a puppy over.

The puppy was quiet at first, but the closer Jin Ling came to the maid, the more upset it became. In the end, the docile puppy struggled violently in Jin Ling’s hands.

Wei Fengyao’s tightly wrapped face involuntarily panicked. The one who panicked most was the maid. At this moment, her entire body involuntarily trembled and everyone knew that something was wrong with her.

“Put it down and bring another one over.” Wei Yuewu ordered.

Jin Ling put down the puppy in her hand. After it was put down on the ground, the puppy rushed backwards and fled far away.

The second puppy was also brought over. It also got increasingly nervous and irritated and struggled incessantly. Judging from whichever perspective, people would feel that something was wrong with this maid.

“Someone, bring her down to investigate her thoroughly!” Princess Nan’an’s expression darkened as she said sternly. Two old maidservants came over from behind her and reached out their hands to drag the maid away.

“Your Heiress-apparent…” The maid cried out to Wei Fengyao.

Princess Nan’an nodded to a nanny beside her, who then went over and stuffed the handkerchief in her hand into the maid’s mouth. After that, the two old maidservants, one on the left and one on the right, pulled the maid away.

The maid struggled desperately as she stared at Wei Fengyao with her eyes wide open, pleading silently. Everyone knew that this maid was doomed.

“If you find out that she has any harmful item on her, just directly cane her to death.” Then, Princess Nan’an shifted her gaze to Wei Fengyao, who was sitting helplessly in her chair and said coldly, “Fengyao, don’t feel sorry for your maid. You actually treated an evil-spirited maid as your most trusted servant. In the future, you need to investigate the servants beside you properly.”

“Yes… Mother!” How could Wei Fengyao dare to mouth back at this time? She could only clench her teeth and take the blame.

She knew that the matter today couldn’t be further investigated. Otherwise, she would definitely be exposed. Therefore, that maid must be the scapegoat and held responsible for everything.

However, none of the people present was stupid. It was clear this Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an had a vicious mind and wanted to plot against Sixth Miss Wei. However, she did not expect that something unexpected would happen and that she had lifted a rock only to drop it on her own feet.

However, the accident happened in Prince Nan’an Mansion, and Princess Nan’an wasn’t wrong even though she forcefully covered up the truth. If Wei Fengyao, the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an was known by outsiders to have done such a vicious thing, the entire Prince Nan’an Mansion would be humiliated.

Moreover, Wei Fengyao had already endured the retribution here. When she covered her face and rolled on the ground some time ago, blood seeped out from between her fingers. People could tell at a sight that she was seriously hurt.

Wei Yuewu took a step forward, and her exquisite little face was quite calm. She looked up at Princess Nan’an and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “Your Highness, I really didn’t plot against Eldest Sister!”

Princess Nan’an had a gloomy face. Her gaze fell sharply on Wei Yuewu’s face and a trace of hesitation flashed through the corners of her eyes. She had actually wanted to make Wei Yuewu a scapegoat. Anyway, letting the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang bear such a disgraceful reputation was a better result than letting Prince Nan’an Mansion’s reputation be tainted.

However, the Fourth Prince and a few other noble young masters were also present.
