Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 202 – When Did You Obtain It

The princess’ gaze silently slid past the faces of the Fourth Prince and other noble young masters. Finally, her gaze landed on Wei Yuewu’s face. It was still a pretty little face, but even after experiencing such a dangerous accident, she was still calm and had the appearance of a gentle young aristocratic lady.

How could Wei Fengyao, who was weak and had a venomous look in her eyes, compare to her!

Although the Fourth Prince’s expression was calm seeming indifferent, his gaze would occasionally fall on Wei Yuewu. Considering what he had just said, how could Princess Nan’an not know that he was on Wei Yuewu’s side?

“Don’t worry, Sixth Miss Wei. It’s just an evil maid who tried to hurt her mistress, and you almost got injured. I’ll send someone to explain this to the Madam Dowager.” Princess Nan’an’s face slowly revealed a trace of smile, and she instantly made up her mind.

Since she couldn’t pass the buck to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, then she would make this accident sound less serious and have everyone believe that it was done by a maid.

Wei Yuewu had already anticipated Princess Nan’an’s reaction. At this time, she was just trying to force Princess Nan’an to make known her position clearly. Of course, she did not really think that Princess Nan’an would uncover Wei Fengyao’s scheme and embarrass herself.

But of course, she wouldn’t let Wei Fengyao get away with it so easily.

An invisible sneer slid across the corner of Wei Yuewu’s lips. She took a step forward and bowed deeply to Princess Nan’an, whose expression immediately darkened. She thought that Wei Yuewu was trying to make further requests. She coldly said, “Sixth Miss Wei, what did you mean?”

If Wei Yuewu really insisted on the so-called fair and just handling of the accident today, she wouldn’t mind holding her responsible for everything. If there had to be a scapegoat, she believed that neither the Empress nor the Emperor would like to see any damage to the reputation of the royal family.

As Princess Nan’an made up her mind, her face was filled with anger.

However, Wei Yuewu just pointed at Wei Qiuju who was hiding at the side and said to Princess Nan’an, “Thank you, Your Highness. But my Fifth Elder Sister…”

What happened just now was too unexpected. Seeing that Wei Fengyao’s face was covered in blood, Wei Qiuju’s face had already turned pale from fear and she was now still in a state of panic. After Princess Nan’an arrived, she was afraid that it would involve her. She was so nervous that she didn’t dare to move at all.

When she heard Wei Yuewu mentioning her, she looked at Wei Yuewu in astonishment. However, when she detected the cold gaze from Princess Nan’an, she suddenly came to her senses. Her feet softened and she knelt on the ground with a plop. Then, she covered her face with a handkerchief and began to cry.

“Mother!” Seeing his beloved beauty kneeling on the ground with a face full of fear, the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an couldn’t bear it anymore. He wanted to go forward to persuade her, but under Princess Nan’an’s fierce stare, he couldn’t speak anything. He was so anxious that he rubbed his hands on the side and leaned towards the Fourth Prince and made eye contact with him with the hope that the Fourth Prince could speak in his favor.

However, the Fourth Prince looked away and landed his gaze on Wei Qiuju.

The room quieted down with a weird atmosphere.

Wei Fengyao had been almost paralyzed on the chair. Now she also woke up because of the quietness in the room. At this time, the first person she wanted to deal with was Wei Qiuju. Ignoring the pain in her face, she stood up anxiously and took a few steps forward. She knelt in front of Princess Nan’an and couldn’t help but cry, “Mother, Mother… the heir-apparent… he actually treated me like this… I beg you to do justice to me!”

The Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an and his younger sister-in-law had an affair, and he had only been married for a few months. It was indeed a big scandal. To Wei Fengyao, it was also a huge debt on her side. If this were to be spread out, even if the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an succeeded in taking Wei Qiuju as his concubine, he would be criticized in terms of moral standards.

“Fengyao, get up. Don’t worry, I will surely do justice to you!” Princess Nan’an personally reached out to help Wei Fengyao up.

For a moment, Wei Fengyao was stunned. Princess Nan’an had always been fierce. Although she looked thin and weak on the surface, she was actually very tough. Wei Fengyao was clear that Princess Nan’an knew what she did today and must hate her very much. Why would she personally help her up? Why did she even have a look of affection on her face?

Seeing this scene in front of her, Wei Yuewu smiled and lowered her head slightly to hide the mockery in her eyes.

Princess Nan’an was well-known as a tough woman. In her current mood, if she showed respect to someone, she definitely had a particular purpose. Therefore, just see how Wei Fengyao swallowed the bitter wine she had personally brewed.

Wei Qiufu watched the development of the entire situation. When she saw this scene in front of her, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. Her gaze darkened without being noticed by others. This Wei Yuewu was truly difficult to deal with.

Ever since her return to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, almost every plot against her had failed. It seemed that she had to be more careful when dealing with Wei Yuewu in the future…

Wei Yuejiao, however, didn’t think too much. She just felt that Wei Yuewu was really lucky. If the puppy had scratched Wei Yuewu’s face, that would have saved her and her mother a lot of trouble. If she had thought of such a trick to make her puppy go crazy and attack Wei Yuewu, she wouldn’t have to bear that annoying face that kept appearing in front of her.

It was such a pity that the puppy missed its target. She used the handkerchief to cover her face and almost laughed aloud. Fortunately, she knew that this was Prince Nan’an Mansion. In the end, she discovered that Wei Yuewu was still safe and sound. She was so angry that she almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand. She was now in a bad mood and everything she saw was not pleasing to the eye.

She gave Wei Qiuju a sidelong glance and made a gentle bah. She felt that Wei Qiuju was really not something that could be brought to the table. She actually did such a thing that was truly embarrassing for the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

Although Wei Fengyao was curious why Princess Nan’an treated her so affectionately, she couldn’t care too much at the moment. She pointed at the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an and said angrily, “Mother, the heir-apparent… he actually…had…”

The Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an also felt embarrassed to be pointed at like this by his wife. However, seeing her tightly wrapped face and thinking about what he had done today, he was indeed a little guilty and did not say anything else.

Princess Nan’an stretched out her hand to press down on Wei Fengyao’s hand that was pointing at the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an. She patted Wei Fengyao’s hand kindly and said smilingly, “I know you are a good wife. After this incident, you should reexamine the servants around you. Remove those who are disloyal to you so that the people who are jealous of you won’t have a chance to harm you again!”

Wei Fengyao was stunned by her words, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Wei Yuewu smiled and raised her eyelids. She understood what Princess Nan’an meant. A faint ripple appeared in her eyes. Princess Nan’an was really a crafty person, and she actually thought of such a method. Apart from making Wei Fengyao eat humble pies, she also saved face for both the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang and Prince Nan’an Mansion!

At this point, there was already a conclusion to today’s accident. Since it was Princess Nan’an who made the decision, Wei Fengyao had no other choice but to swallow the bitter pill in silence.

Her attention was entirely on Princess Nan’an, and when she raised her eyes casually, she was met by a pair of smiling handsome eyes, and she was stunned for a moment.

“Sixth Miss Wei, can I have a word with you?” The Fourth Prince stepped forward with a smile and pointed at the purse she had placed on the table as he asked meaningfully.

Wei Yuewu looked at Wei Fengyao, who began to understand what was going on at this moment. With a slight smile, she nodded and followed the Fourth Prince to the other side of the room.

The Fourth Prince stopped at the window and turned to look at Wei Yuewu. He smiled and said, “Sixth Miss Wei, where did you obtain this safety talisman?”

“Plum Blossom Nunnery!” Wei Yuewu already knew about the fourth prince’s suspicions, so she replied calmly and honestly. That Master Fenghe was not someone an ordinary person could see.

“When? Did you get it last time you went to Plum Blossom Nunnery?” The Fourth Prince asked with a certain degree of scrutiny.

“No, just a few days ago.” Wei Yuewu replied without hesitation.

This safety talisman was indeed obtained only a few days ago. After seeing the safety talisman that was sent by Wei Qiuju, she asked Jin Ling to go up the mountain to beg a safety talisman for her.

Wei Yuewu knew what the Fourth Prince was suspicious of. When Jin Ling came back from the mountain, she said that there were two kinds of safety talismans on the mountain. One was the style she saw, and the other was not.

Jin Ling secretly asked the nun in the temple and was told that the safety talisman Wei Qiuju sent to Wei Yuewu was of the new style, but the style of the other safety talisman had been used by Plum Blossom Nunnery for a long time. As for why the nunnery suddenly changed the style, the nun didn’t know for sure. She only said that it was ordered by the nun-in-charge.

Now, it seemed that there was some karma in this safety talisman!

“A few days ago?” The Fourth Prince looked like he was going to get to the bottom of everything.

“Yesterday!” Since he had found out that something was unusual, Wei Yuewu naturally wouldn’t hide it. Her safety talisman was indeed obtained from Plum Blossom Nunnery, and it indeed took place yesterday. She even asked Jin Ling to donate a lot of Sesame Oil Money. Even if the Fourth Prince decided to investigate the matter, there was evidence.

“Sixth Miss Wei, when you accompanied the Third Princess and Fourth Princess to admire plum blossoms, you were injured in the sword attack. Why didn’t you beg a safety talisman at that time? Why did you suddenly beg a safety talisman after being back to the mansion for so long?”

The Fourth Prince looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. Her eyes did not dodge and her response was liberal and dignified. Although he felt that it was impossible for her to lie, he still asked. After all, he could not let anyone know about those things.

“Originally, I didn’t intend to beg a safety talisman. However, I suddenly heard that my father was injured yesterday. That’s why his return to the capital was delayed. Therefore, I asked the maid to go to Plum Blossom Nunnery to beg a safety talisman. When my father returns to the mansion, I will give it to him. I hope that my father will be safe forever.”

A trace of bitterness appeared on Wei Yuewu’s lips as she slowly lowered her head.

The Fourth Prince had been staring at Wei Yuewu. He could even see sparkling tears in her eyes, and he inexplicably felt a little more pity for her.

Everyone knew that Sixth Miss Wei was not favored by her father. She was raised in her maternal grandparents’ house. For so many years, Marquis Hua Yang had not visited her even once. At this time, she probably wanted to become intimate with her father, but did not know how to achieve her goal. Was this the reason why she thought of begging this safety talisman for her father?
