Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 95 – A Letter That Disclosed Something

When Wei Qiuju went outside of the room, Nanny Hong was just back after seeing Wei Yuewu off. When she saw Wei Qiuju, she said indifferently, “Fifth Young Lady, I think you’ve heard that Imperial Academician Xie said that he would accept you. Please stay out of trouble and don’t bring about such a thing again. Otherwise, the Madam Dowager will not spare you.”

Without waiting for Wei Qiuju to say anything, Nanny Hong left with two old maidservants, leaving behind the numb Wei Qiuju and her timid maid Yueya standing there alone.

“Mother, what happened? Why didn’t that bitch fall into your trap?” Wei Yan went so far as to smash the Buddha statue placed in front of the Buddha in the temple. Shuiyue was kicked by her and collapsed on the ground with her arms around her stomach. The maid didn’t dare to move a bit for fear that Wei Yan would punch and kick her again.

“My fault. I was careless. Yan’er, don’t worry. I won’t let her get the upper hand next time.” Lady Li said hatefully, gritting her teeth.

She wouldn’t be reconciled with the fact that the bitch actually escaped her trap! Everything had been well designed. There were no mistakes at all until the last step where the person in the room turned out to be Wei Qiuju. It must be that damn girl Wei Qiuju who blew it.

“Mother, have that bitch disappear. Send her out and get her into the dirtiest place in the world. Only so can I take my revenge.” Wei Yan’s eyes were filled with hatred.

Ever since that bitch Wei Yuewu had come to the mansion, she had made mistakes in everything. In the end, she had fallen to such a state. No matter what, she would not let Wei Yuewu get away.

“Mother, think of a way! Think of more ways!” Wei Yan said anxiously as she pulled on Lady Li’s clothes and shook them hard.

“Yan’er, don’t worry, that bitch’s happy time is coming to an end. Concubine Dong and your third younger sister will be returning to the capital soon.” Lady Li stroked her daughter’s head and comforted her.

“That Wei Yuejiao who puts on airs all day long as if she were a first daughter of the mansion? Mother, I don’t like her. She is just like her concubine mother. They are both cheap bitches, but she thinks highly of herself.” When she thought of Wei Yuejiao who was also favored by the Madam Dowager, Wei Yan felt disgusted.

Why could Wei Yuejiao, the daughter of a concubine, be comparable to her, the daughter of a wife? Sometimes when they liked the same thing, grandmother would ask her to give it to Wei Yuejiao? Why? Wei Yuejiao only made a good show of herself and put on a gentle appearance in front of grandmother. Although she pretended to be a first daughter, who didn’t know that her blood was as low as her cheap mother who rose to her position by crawling to the high bed?

“Shut up, Yan’er. I spoil you so much that you dare to say anything. Even though she is not a first daughter, she is your uncle’s favorite daughter.” Lady Li said as she glared at Wei Yan.

“Mother, how come you scolded me because of that bitch?” Wei Yan was so angry that her tears were about to fall.

Seeing her daughter’s aggrieved expression, Lady Li was sorry again. “My daughter, don’t be harsh on her for now. When she comes, that bitch will be doomed. She has always been your uncle’s favorite daughter. The reason your grandmother doesn’t look down upon her is your uncle. Otherwise, how could your grandmother like her, a concubine-born daughter?”

“Why must grandmother treat her so well just because uncle likes her? Grandmother is uncle’s mother.” Wei Yan said discontentedly with glaring eyes. In her opinion, this mansion was different from others. Even if the mansion belonged to her uncle, grandmother shouldn’t live under a cloud of his opinion. Moreover, this mansion was bound to belong to her eldest brother in the future.

“Enough, don’t ask this kind of thing. Anyway, remember to stay here and be good. When the time comes, mother will definitely get you out and let you trample that bitch with your feet. I will have her kneel in front of you and lick your shoes.” Lady Li said coldly. A trace of malice flashed in her eyes. She had already written to Concubine Dong. She believed that Concubine Dong would immediately understand the situation she was in. The two of them even succeeded in suppressing that bitch’s mother with their joined efforts, so that bitch wouldn’t be a problem!

Wasn’t that bitch disengaged at present? She and Concubine Dong would definitely help that bitch find a good match…

Wei Qiuju’s body trembled slightly under the light. She looked at the letter in her hand in disbelief.

There was neither addressee nor signature. However, the contents of the letter pointed to Fourth Elder Sister Wei Qiufu.

Xie Qingzhao actually had private correspondence of such romantic implication with Wei Qiufu, her always obedient fourth elder sister! Even though there was nothing extremely improper in the letter, Wei Qiuju could sense the affections overflowing between the lines.

He enquired about Wei Qiufu’s daily life in the nunnery, asking whether it was too hard for her, and mentioned the maid who used to send letters… All those remarks showed that the relationship between the two of them had started long before. Wei Qiuju was confident of her judgement because something mentioned in the letter was only known to her and Wei Qiufu.

She herself hadn’t told anyone, so Wei Qiufu was the only one who divulged.

Needless to say, Xie Qingzhao had dropped the letter at the door. At that time, Xie Qingzhao hid himself outside the screen at the door. Yueya said that Xie Qingzhao opened the door and walked out by himself in the end. Moreover, she had heard the sounds of breathing. She was therefore sure that Xie Qingzhao was inside the room at the time.

Since something unexpected had happened in the darkness, it was normal that he dropped a letter.

She had thought that Xie Qingzhao had conspired with Second Lady only, but now it turned out that Fourth Elder Sister had also played a part. She could now only become Xie Qingzhao’s concubine instead of his wife. How could Wei Qiuju be willing to accept this? Although she fell in love with Xie Qingzhao, she did not want Wei Qiufu to be Xie Qingzhao’s wife while she was nothing but a concubine.

Moreover, with Wei Qiufu’s shrewd and deep character and Xie Qingzhao’s love for her, she would definitely have a miserable ending as a concubine.

She was unwilling. She was supposed to be Xie Qingzhao’s wife and would never allow such a thing to happen.

If she hadn’t been born to a concubine, she would have been just as outstanding as Wei Yan and Wei Qiufu. Furthermore, although she was a concubine’s daughter, so what? Didn’t Wei Yuejiao live a better life than Wei Yuewu? Every time Wei Yuejiao returned to the capital, the entire mansion would treat her as if she were a princess, and even Wei Yan and Wei Qiufu had to make way for her.

There was also the Second Lady, who clearly knew that she wasn’t to blame for this incident. However, she only stood at the side and watched without saying a single word for her!

Wei Qiuju’s entire face looked ferocious and twisted because of her anger. She would definitely not let them get away…

Wei Yuewu’s room was also lit up. She had changed the blood-stained clothes. Without the outer skirt, Wei Yuewu looked even thinner. She had been in the capital for nearly a month. She was growing up very fast and looked like a mature girl now, but because of this, she looked even skinnier.

“Miss, Second Master and Second Lady have always been on intimate terms. Although the Second Master has a few concubines, they didn’t give birth to a single son or daughter. Second Lady gave birth to the eldest son for Second Master, so Second Master respects her very much. If he had anything to discuss, he would go to Second Lady. The concubines were all Second Lady’s maids. None of them dared to disobey Second Lady, except the new Concubine Huang.”

Nurse Mei was reporting on the second branch. The second branch had only two daughters and one son, and they were all Lady Li’s children. Ever since Lady Li gave birth to Wei Yan, no new babies were born. However, Lord Minister wasn’t old. There was something strange here. Moreover, Wei Yuewu had smelled a faint scent several times when she passed by this Second Uncle…

However, it wasn’t smelled every time!

Wei Yuewu had taken a bath. Her black hair hung down. Shufei was helping dry her hair with a dry towel.

“What did Concubine Huang do?” Wei Yuewu nodded her head. Under the light, her long eyelashes drooped down, revealing a bit of coldness.

“Concubine Huang was given to Second Master by the Prince of Nan’an. Second Master had no option but to accept her. Second Lady couldn’t disagree either.” Nurse Mei answered after she thought for a moment. If Concubine Huang hadn’t come from the mansion of the Prince of Nan’an, whom they dared not offend, Second Lady wouldn’t have easily allowed Concubine Huang to enter the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

Wei Yuewu picked up the tea in her hand and took a sip. She enjoyed the fresh bitter taste of the tea with elegance. Her thick eyelashes were half drooped. She pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “Did you find anything about Doctor Ming?”

“Doctor Ming is very skilled in medicine. He has been treating patients in the mansion for more than twenty years. He was the doctor when Madam was sick. After Madam had a difficult labour, it was also he who treated her. Madam recovered pretty well at first, but her conditions suddenly got serious.”

Nurse Mei said. These past things were hard to conceal. Almost everyone in the mansion knew them at that time. However, after so many years, only a few old servants were clear about it. Coincidentally, Nanny Mei was one of them.

“How often does Doctor Ming come to perform routine pulse check for the mansion?” Wei Yuewu smiled coldly. Her tone was a bit cold. She looked so thin, so shy, and so harmlessly gentle. However, at this moment, she inexplicably gave out a sense of strange danger. Her long eyelashes cast two shadows on her fair face under the light.

Nurse Mei subconsciously swallowed her saliva and hastily suppressed the fear in her heart. She hurriedly lowered her head and said, “Once about more half a month.”

Everyone said that this Sixth Young Lady in front of her was from a small village, but Nurse Mei felt that they were all wrong. Even the Princess of Nan’an, whom she had seen before, did not possess the aura of this Sixth Young Lady. Was this young lady really an ignorant, cowardly and timid person?

Inexplicably, she remembered a colorful butterfly in the deep forest, which looked very beautiful but in fact was the most poisonous. Whoever wanted to hunt it would die because of the poisonous powder given off by her graceful wings!

“Doctor Ming didn’t ask to check my pulse last time?” Wei Yuewu asked softly. It had been almost a month since she had returned to the mansion. However, the doctor never came to check her pulse. It seemed that she was ignored the previous time when the mistresses of the mansion were checked.

“Perhaps… Perhaps… it was because Sixth Young Lady had just arrived then. The Madam Dowager… didn’t have time to mention it to Doctor Ming, so the lazy servants didn’t count you in.” Nurse Mei hesitated for a moment.

Didn’t have time? The corners of Wei Yuewu’s lips curled into ridicule and contempt. Everyone in the mansion could see the Madam Dowager and Lady Li’s indifferent treatment of her. The servants were naturally happy to shirk their duty, so it was normal that they didn’t ask Doctor Ming to come over.

All the servants in this mansion were snobbish, so of course they acted in response to the likes and dislikes of their masters and mistresses.

“Nanny Mei, I’ll trouble you to go to the Madam Dowager’s courtyard tomorrow morning to look for Nanny Hong. Tell her that I’m feeling a little unwell, but I don’t know why, so I want Doctor Ming to come and check my pulse.”
