Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 221 – Mo Huating Came Again

Mo Huating? Wei Yuewu looked at the door with a deep gaze. She was very curious. Why did this Mo Huating appear at the family banquet of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang?

The curtain was raised, and Wei Luowen walked in the front, followed by Mo Huating who was dressed in an azure robe.

Wei Yuewu watched as Mo Huating walked in narrowing her eyes slightly.

Mo Huating was still the same as before. He looked both sharp and handsome. His dark eyes were cold and solemn, but there was a gentle smile on his face, which added some warmth to his face. When he saw Wei Yuewu turning her eyes, he even smiled at her.

The Second Master, the Minister of Rites, and the Third Master followed behind Mo Huating. Surprisingly, they were not as gloomy as they used to be and were all smiles.

After the several of them greeted the Madam Dowager, they sat down. The juniors who had been seated gave up their seats and retreated to the back. Only then did Concubine Dong bring Wei Yuejiao in.

Although Concubine Dong, who had been dressed up again, didn’t look young, she was still pretty and charming. She walked over elegantly and knelt down to salute the Madam Dowager. There was not the slightest bit of error in her manners. She then stood behind Wei Luowen smilingly without saying a word.

She was a just concubine. On such an occasion, she should either stand or sit on a small stool rather than a chair.

“Concubine Dong, it’s been hard for you to take care of the marquis. Come here and take a seat!” The Madam Dowager was in a good mood and pointed to a chair at the side.

“Taking care of Lord Marquis is my responsibility. Madam Dowager, you are truly kind. However, it is better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously. Thank you very much, Madam Dowager!” Concubine Dong answered appropriately. After giving Madam Dowager another deep bow, she took a seat in the lower place beside Wei Luowen.

Wei Yuewu’s gaze fell on that seat as she sneered in her heart. Previously, when Wei Luowen sat down, neither Wei Luowu nor Mo Huating took this seat. Obviously, they both knew that this seat was reserved for Concubine Dong.

A concubine actually dared to be seated in the position reserved for the legitimate Marquise Hua Yang, and she obviously took it for granted! Besides, no one in the hall was surprised, as if Concubine Dong was the best person for that seat.

In other words, for so many years, Concubine Dong had been seated like this!

Her mother, the late Marquise Hua Yang, died at the hands of Concubine Dong and Lady Li…

It had been a long time since Wei Luowen and the Madam Dowager parted. Now that they both sat down, they naturally had a lot to say. The mother and son spoke happily. The second and third masters, as well as Lady Zhang and Concubine Dong, would occasionally get in a word. For a time, the Madam Dowager was very happy and she laughed heartily while pulling the hands of her sons from time to time.

“You guys can go and take a stroll outside. It’s still early for dinner. Relax and have a good time. I will send for you later!”

The Madam Dowager smiled and suddenly remembered her grandsons and granddaughters in the room. She waved her hand and uttered those words.

“Grandmother, I want to stay here with you. It’s rare to see you so happy. I don’t want to leave!” Wei Yuejiao shook the Madam Dowager’s hand and said coquettishly.

“I don’t need your company right now. Go out with your sisters and brothers and play!” The Madam Dowager chuckled. She turned around and instructed Nanny Hong, “Have someone prepare some tea for them. They can go wherever they like. It’s rare for all of them to be together today. Let them have a good time together.”

“Yes, Madam Dowager, don’t worry. I will make sure that they have fun!” Nanny Hong also smiled and answered. Then, she instructed the maids to follow behind.

Since the Madam Dowager had said these words, the several of them could only take their leave.

Wei Yuewu was walking at the end. Suddenly, she felt a gaze fall on her. She subconsciously turned around, but she did not see anyone paying attention to her. Her eyes turned back and her eyebrows slightly knitted. At that moment, she really sensed that someone was staring at her.

She was puzzled in her heart, but her feet did not pause as she followed the others out of the room.

Wei Luowen raised his head to look at Wei Yuewu’s back, the corners of his eyes slightly stiff!

“Sixth Miss Wei!” The faint voice carried a trace of smile. Wei Yuewu looked up and saw Mo Huating standing in front of her.

A moment ago, Mo Huating went out with Wei Ziyang and the others. However, Mo Huating lagged behind. It seemed that his target was her!

Perhaps Mo Huating had come here today for her.

“Marquis Jing Yuan!” Wei Yuewu curtsied as she said with a calm expression.

Now she was the Sixth Young Lady of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, and Mo Huating was Marquis Jing Yuan. They were through.

The girl in front of him was very beautiful. Her eyes were filled with water vapor. Her long eyelashes curled up. In addition, she carried a cold aura around her. Anyone who looked at her would be amazed. Mo Huating’s eyes instantly lit up.

Now there was no heavy makeup on her face when he first met her, nor was there any veil to hide her face when he met her the second time. Moreover, she had grown up a lot during this period of time, and she already had the appearance of a young lady. Even if she was nothing or came from an ordinary aristocratic family, Mo Huating felt that he would not regret marrying her.

Therefore, he regretted it now…

Seeing that Mo Huating was quietly looking at her without saying anything, Wei Yuewu became a little annoyed. She raised her eyes and asked unceremoniously, “Marquis Jing Yuan, what’s up?”

“Sixth Young Lady, do you know why Marquis Hua Yang asked me to come here today?” Mo Huating calmed down and went straight to the point. Having dealt with her several times, he deeply understood that the girl in front of him was intelligent and quick-witted. There was no need to beat around the bush!

“No!” However, Wei Yuewu didn’t seem to be interested at all. She calmly turned around, wanting to bypass Mo Huating.

Mo Huating stretched out his hands and blocked Wei Yuewu’s path. “Sixth Young Lady, are you really not concerned about your marriage?”

“Marquis Jing Yuan, I remember that Her Majesty announced in front of everyone that our marriage was annulled. Could it be that Marquis Jing Yuan is still related to my marriage? Even my father can’t question Her Majesty’s decision, right?” Wei Yuewu looked up at Mo Huating and said coldly.

Regardless of what her father thought and why he called Mo Huating here today, she did not believe that her father would dare to openly resist the Empress’ orders.

“Sixth Young Lady, the matter of the Second Young Lady is over. When in the Palace, I had no alternative. But, if I really wanted to marry the Second Young Lady, why didn’t I agree to marry her at that time? Sixth Young Lady, although this engagement has been canceled, I can still make a proposal again. Marquis Hua Yang also said that it was Marquise Hua Yang who arranged the marriage for the two of us. It would be best to fulfill her wishes!” Mo Huating looked at Wei Yuewu and said gently.

There was actually such a thick-skinned person in this world. Wei Yuewu was so angry that she almost laughed!

Not only did Mo Huating lie through his teeth, he also brazenly expressed that he wanted to fulfill her mother’s wishes by marrying her. Could it be that her mother really wanted her to marry such a scum?

“Marquis Jing Yuan, I remember saying that our engagement must be canceled, and it was indeed canceled. Now that it’s canceled, do you think I’ll agree to your proposal? Could it be that the daughters of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang must be married to your mansion to live a happy life? As for Second Elder Sister…”

At this point, Wei Yuewu raised her cherry lips mockingly. She did not believe that Mo Huating would not feel guilty.

Sure enough, Mo Huating’s eyes dodged for a moment. “Sixth Young Lady, there were many misunderstandings between us in the past, but ever since you entered the capital, I have been trying my best to improve our relationship. I only hope not to be misunderstood by you. Who would have thought that in the end, my saving the Second Young Lady in the Palace would cause such a calamity?”

He spoke with righteousness, as if he was the symbol of justice.

Wei Yuewu smiled. A mocking cold smile mercilessly appeared on her lips, making her look beautiful as well as detached.

Misunderstanding? Did he mean that the assassination was just a misunderstanding? It was such a bloody massacre that even the snow was dyed red. Did he try to make her believe that Qin Ruo’s miserable death was only a misunderstanding as a result of her subjective misinterpretation of the event?

Mo Huating really took her for a fool!

“Marquis Jing Yuan, I don’t care what you say. Others don’t know the truth, but how can we not know the truth? No matter how terrible the misunderstanding might be, I will never marry you. Please conduct yourself with dignity, Marquis Jing Yuan.” Wei Yuewu moved sideways to avoid Mo Huating. This time, she did not try to follow the crowd. Instead, she turned around and walked towards the back of the room.

Although it was quiet there, it wasn’t far from the Madam Dowager’s room. People in the room could even hear her voice through the back window if she spoke with a loud voice.

Mo Huating wanted to stop her, but unexpectedly, Wei Yuewu didn’t charge forward, and instead she retreated. Since she walked towards the back of the room, it wasn’t appropriate for him to follow her. He looked at Wei Yuewu’s back with a sinister expression. After thinking for a while, he didn’t go over. He turned around and headed in the direction of Wei Ziyang’s courtyard.

Although Wei Yuewu rejected him, Mo Huating felt that there was still a chance for him. After all, Marquis Hua Yang had a good impression of him. It seemed that the rumors that Marquis Hua Yang doted on the late Marquise Hua Yang were true. He actually gave him such an opportunity to explain only because the marriage was arranged by Marquise Hua Yang.

Such an opportunity was simply great news for Mo Huating.

After he arrived at the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, he tactfully explained what happened to his engagement with Wei Yuewu. The engagement was canceled because he had saved Wei Yan and had no choice but to marry Wei Yan. As for Wei Yuewu’s taking the initiative to cancel the engagement, of course, it was because Wei Yuewu misunderstood him. In general, although there were many misunderstandings, they could be explained properly.

It was only because of the sudden incident involving Wei Yan that the engagement between the two families was canceled. In other words, Wei Yuewu and Mo Huating were both victims.

Wei Yan didn’t behave herself and she caused a fire. Mo Huating saved her heroically, but in the end, he had no choice but to marry her!

But now that Wei Yan was dead, even if Wei Luowen was unhappy with his niece, he couldn’t say anything. Dead people should be respected, so what else could he say now?

This was also the reason why Wei Luowen was willing to give Mo Huating a chance after hearing Mo Huating’s explanation!

“Miss, what does Lord Marquis mean? Why did he let Marquis Jing Yuan come over? Could it be that he wanted Marquis Jing Yuan to marry you?” Shufei said angrily after they were at the back of the room.

“Marry me? Perhaps!” Wei Yuewu stood under a tree and said coldly.

“How can Lord Marquis do such a thing? Does he really want Marquis Jing Yuan to kill you?” Wei Yuewu’s maids were deeply disdainful of Mo Huating, so when they heard Marquis Hua Yang actually wanted to marry Wei Yuewu to Mo Huating, Shufei was extremely angry!

“No way!” Wei Yuewu’s gaze landed coldly at the windows of the Madam Dowager’s backyard. There were bursts of laughter, some from Wei Luowu, and some from Concubine Dong and Lady Zhang…

However, it was them who were happy, while she was just a passer-by!

She must avenge her mother!
