Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 378

Chapter 378 The Cunning Geomancer

Nanny Dong subconsciously turned her head, only to hear the sound of something breaking.

Then, she heard Wei Yuejiao shout madly and hatefully, “Drag that slut out and sell her to the brothel! Let one thousand men assault her…”

When Wei Yuejiao said this, Concubine Dong covered her mouth hurriedly. “No, Third Young Lady! Watch out!”

This was the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, not the residence they used to live at the border. Concubine Dong controlled the internal affairs of the residence on the border with iron fists, so no one dared to casually spread any rumor. However, this was the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang in the capital, and her hands were tied.

Wei Yuejiao suddenly pulled away Concubine Dong’s hand, pointed to the direction of Lotus Courtyard, and snapped in a choked voice, “Mother, you always tell me to give in to her. Look at what she did to us! That wretched girl! I must avenge my injury in order to calm the hell down! Doesn’t she know her place? She doesn’t have much time to live, but why can’t she let me live well?!”

“Jiao’er, shut up!” Hearing Wei Yuejiao’s words, Concubine Dong also became anxious. She tugged Wei Yuejiao hard to stop her from speaking, and she accidentally pulled her wounds. Wei Yuejiao screamed again in pain, but she stopped her curses.

Concubine Dong waved her hand. Nanny Dong understood and waved at the maids and old maidservants who were in the room.

The maids and old maidservants exchanged glances and retreated silently.

Nanny Dong walked at the back of the line, sighed when she looked at the shattered cup outside the door, and had someone sweep the broken cup away.

“Nanny Dong, go and invite Doctor Yu over first, then send someone to wait in the Tranquility Courtyard. When the situation at Madam Dowager’s side gets better, invite Doctor Ming over,” Concubine Dong’s voice came from behind.

Did she mean Doctor Yu who treated the servants in the mansion? Nanny Dong was taken aback, but then she understood that this was the fastest solution. They must treat the Third Young Lady’s injuries as soon as possible. This was a matter of a lifetime for these young ladies of aristocratic families. Although no one could see her wounds and scars from the outside, the Third Young Lady’s husband would see them when she got married.

Her husband might dislike her because of this.

“Yes, I’ll go and invite him immediately!” Nanny Dong hurriedly nodded and rushed out of the courtyard.

“Jiao’er, why don’t you listen to me? You can’t say such a thing here! Let the doctor check on your injuries first. Later, I’ll find a high-quality ointment to apply to the wounds. It may not leave a scar,” Concubine Dong comforted Wei Yuejiao.

“Mother, that bitch is going to die. Don’t tell me you are afraid of her?!” Wei Yuejiao was in pain and resentment. She just wished that Wei Yuewu would bleed to death in front of her right now. But she unconsciously lowered her voice when she spoke.

“Since you know that she is going to die, just endure her for a few more days. With her fragile body, she won’t last long. So what if she has been well raised in her maternal family for the past few years? She was ill from the moment she was in her mother’s womb. She can’t cure her illness just by living in the village peacefully,” Concubine Dong quipped coldly.

“Mother, this wretched girl is really damn lucky. When she was so young…” Wei Yuejiao also remembered some past events. She bit her handkerchief and snarled hatefully, “If it weren’t for her luck, she would have died long ago!”

Thinking of this matter, Wei Yuejiao was very indignant. Who would have thought that Wei Yuewu would survive in such a situation?

“Jiao’er, don’t mention this matter again. You must carry the secret to your grave. No one can mention it again, no one!” Concubine’s face appeared a bit sinister under the illumination of the light from the window. She wrung the handkerchief in her hand into a ball. She still remembered Lord Marquis’ dismayed expression at that time.

At that time, because of that matter, many people were killed. Seeing the blood on the ground slowly seep into the mud, Concubine Dong was also frightened and hugged Wei Yuejiao tightly. She did not dare to have the slightest bit of greed. At that time, she only wanted to help Wei Yuejiao escape. As long as Wei Yuejiao could survive the ordeal, it did not matter if she did not become Marquise Hua Yang.

At that time, the murderous intent in Lord Marquis’ mind and soul must be burning fiercely!

Concubine Dong even contemplated that the extremely emotional Lord Marquis might have killed Wei Yuejiao mercilessly if he had found out that it was Wei Yuejiao who did it…

This scene would always appear in Concubine Dong’s mind from time to time. It also made her more and more resentful. She had been with Lord Marquis for so many years and had taken care of him with all her heart. How could he treat Qin Xinrui’s daughter so well and ignore her daughter so much?

She was hateful. Didn’t he treat her like this because of her humble background?!

Since that was the case, she could choose a new background for herself…

“Mother, do you think that bitch remembered something and that’s why she treated me like this?” Although Wei Yuejiao still could not calm down, she still lowered her voice and asked.

These words reminded Concubine Dong. She thought about what had happened since she entered the capital. It seemed that everything she had schemed against Wei Yuewu had failed. Could it be that this bitch was wary of her?

“It’s possible. I didn’t expect that the bitch is so lucky! She can actually piece all the puzzles together,” Concubine Dong sneered.

At that time, when Wei Yuewu woke up, she was in a daze and looked like she was overly frightened. Everyone said that she was probably so shocked that she had lost her mind, and she would always look like a fool for the rest of her life. Unexpectedly, after a week, she slowly recovered.

However, she did not remember that incident.

After that, Lord Marquis sent Wei Yuewu to her maternal grandparents’ house to be raised, and she had been there for years since then. Even if she recovered, she wouldn’t be too intelligent. In addition, she was born with a prenatal deficiency, so it was uncertain if she could survive for long. Thus, Concubine Dong no longer cared about her.

However, Wei Yuewu was still staying strong, and it was possible that she remembered the incident. Concubine Dong pulled a long face. If that was the case, they would end up in a stalemate.

Fortunately, she didn’t intend to let that wretched girl survive here…

Doctor Yu came quite quickly. After checking Wei Yuejiao’s injuries, he expressed that he didn’t have any good medicine with him. He prescribed her some simple ointment that he usually gave to the servants. It could heal the wound, but she would have the scars after recovery.

Seeing that Wei Yuejiao’s face was deathly pale from the pain, Concubine Dong had no choice but to let Doctor Yu apply the ointment to her wounds first while urging someone to look for Doctor Ming.

When the Madam Dowager’s condition finally stabilized, Doctor Ming hurriedly came over to treat Wei Yuejiao’s injury.

He applied the good ointment he brought to Wei Yuejiao’s wounds. However, because of the delay, coupled with the fact that Doctor Yu’s ointment was only effective to treat and cure the injuries, it was very likely that Wei Yuejiao would have scars after recovery.

In spite of that, Doctor Ming reassured Concubine Dong that it was not a problem for the scar on Wei Yuejiao’s arms. When the blister popped, she could apply the good ointment to the wound again, and the scar might not be so visible.

No matter what, the scar would be there. All he could do now was reduce the size of the scar.

“Miss, I’ve gone to inquire about the geomancer. He is quite famous, and his reading is quite accurate. The people think highly of him. He has been invited by a lot of mansions in the capital, but he charged them expensively. Those rich people didn’t mind his high fees though, as long as his forecast is accurate.”

In Lotus Courtyard, Wei Yuewu had already freshened up. Jin Ling was reporting to her about the things she had investigated.

Huamo dried her black hair with a towel.

Wei Yuewu pondered for a moment and asked, “Does he not visit the ordinary people’s houses?”

“He does. I also inquired about this, but I found something else. He has a very good reputation among the rich families, except for the expensive fees. However, when I went to ask the ordinary people who hired him, they all said that he is a pervert. Once, he took a fancy to the wife of a man of a certain family. When he helped the family check on their fengshui, he hooked up with that woman.”

Jin Ling grunted with disdain, “Moreover, it is said that he has an affair with more than one woman. They said that it was his lad servant who leaked the news. However, he was fired and sent away over some criminal charges.”

Wei Yuewu squinted slightly. Her long eyelashes trembled and cast a shadow on her tender fair face.

He had a good relationship with the rich and powerful families, so it was a piece of cake for him to get rid of a lowly lad servant.

He was not only a pervert but also a cautious one. He didn’t dare to tease the woman in the rich families, but he would try his luck with the women in the ordinary families. It showed how cunning he was, and he knew how to judge the situation.

“Miss, I followed the geomancer around but didn’t find anything unusual. In the end, I saw that he left the flower gate and went back!” Shufei came back later than Jin Ling, so she reported after Jin Ling finished speaking.

“Why are you back so late?” Wei Yuewu looked up and asked.

One of them undertook a mission outside the mansion while the other was investigating around the mansion. Both of them left almost at the same time, but Jin Ling, who left the mansion, came back first. Wei Yuewu felt that there was something wrong with this.

“When I went there, the geomancer was pointing at the construction site. It seemed that he wanted the workers to build something according to his request. I was worried that Concubine Dong’s maids would discover me, so I hid in the corner and couldn’t hear what he said. He talked for quite a long time though.” Shufei thought about it and informed.

“He went back to the construction site?” Wei Yuewu frowned. Wasn’t he supposed to decide how to construct the wall long ago? Since the construction had started, it meant that he had gotten Concubine Dong’s approval. What was the geomancer trying to do by going to the construction site and instructing the workers again?

It was completely useless.

“Yes, I was there for a long time. Later, the geomancer ordered some men to get rid of the ink that had been spilled. He specially asked them to clean it properly as if they had done a bad job. Then, he even instructed them to dig a hole and fill the hole. He spent a lot of time over this.”

At this time, the more Shufei spoke, the more she felt that something was off. She couldn’t help but ask the question in her heart, “Miss, is he stalling for time?”
