Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Sometimes it was not good for a woman to be too capable, such as the powerful Helian family, in the end the head succumbed to old age, his daughter’s husband was seduced by another woman and their fortune was usurped. The one stirring up trouble was not one of the Helian family, but Su Yan Mo.

Compared to her, they prefered Su Yan Mo who was like an impenetrable master, like a picture of a flower of Gaoling. But she thought that because she went to war she was a big deal, but when she returned to the Capitol her reputation was ruined by her two sisters.

Let them say, stupid child!

Nowadays, it was not good to see the methods her daughter used, she should have stayed at home if she had nothing to do and not come out. How could she not realise what day it was today, and yet she still rushed ahead to the front.

The key was whether she could exploit this opportunity.

Some of the ladies looked at Helian Wei Wei superciliously, like looking at a clown, they probably thought that since they could not enter yet they might as well look for some entertainment to while time.

” I say Wei Wei, it is Wei Wei correct? What happened to your marriage? Do you need me to arrange an introduction to save your mother from worrying?”

Helian Wei Wei did not speak, Su Yan Mo spoke instead, “If there is a suitable match then it would be wonderful. If this child does not have a husband to look after her for the rest of her life, I’m not sure sister will forgive me from the other side.”

“Sister Su, you are so good-hearted, don’t worry, just as well I know a good suitor here just back from the battlefield, just that he might have a limp in his legs. But Wei Wei you should understand, at your age on top of the other matter, if there is someone who will offer you a hand in marriage that is a good thing.” After speaking, the lady sighed deeply “Naturally, we need to see if that family are willing to have you, after all you have neither beauty nor brains, it is not so easy to make a match for you.”

Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows, smiled from the start to finish, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

“It’s dreadful, that someone wants to make a match in marriage for you.” Yuan Ming rubbed the back of his hand “Are they not afraid that you will beat the man half to death. Moreover, without the use of a leg, I don’t think he can perform his husband duties. Woman, it looks like people don’t think that you are worth any money and wants to get rid of you cheaply.”

Chen Yifeng also came from a family of generals, he had heard about this man who had just come back from the battlefield. When he heard the lady mention this man he frowned, “Isn’t that person nearly 50 years old? You want our boss to marry this awful old man nearly in his fifties?”

“What awful old man?! He is a general who fought in battles.” That lady looked down on Chen Yifeng, glanced at Helian Wei Wei “Wei Wei, don’t let me chastise you, you are a lady who has not wed, yet you are always socialising with men, it does not look good for you. And how dare he talk back to me, I am your elder.”

Helian Wei Wei smiled and plucked at her ears, “I say, it has been ear-piercing right from the start. It seems that it was just some people barking like a dog. Also, elder auntie, who are you? Am I close to you? You come up to me saying you will introduce a husband for me, do you think you are very great?”

“You! You!” The lady hit her chest with her handkerchief in infuriation. “I have never met someone like you who can’t tell a good thing from bad.”

Madam Su was scarlet red in the face, ” Sister, don’t be so mad. Wei Wei doesn’t understand the rules and she doesn’t appreciate our good intentions. For so many years younger sister I am also at the end of my tethers. I can only hope that elder sister in her afterlife knows that it is not that I don’t care, but that there is nothing more I can do.” She let out a huge sigh, like she had a big grievance to cry about.

The people around who heard those words pointed their fingers at Helian Wei Wei.

Madam Su saw this and calmed down. Her trip to Lingyin Temple was insufferable and she suffered utter humiliation, and now all this loathing and hate has finally surfaced. She wants this vile spawn to suffer to the greatest extent possible. In addition to revenge, Madam Su has more plans up her sleeve. Just before the start of the auction, she got news that the Retired Emperor was due to make an appearance.

Jiao Er had told her that the last time this vile spawn made use of them, and caused the Retired Emperor to be infuriated. According to the time, the Retired Emperor should arrive now and most likely be sat in the tea shop. The surroundings and line of sight was good over there, if it were not for the nobles of the Capital sat in the upper row, there was no way to get a good position. Madam Su’s guess was correct. There was someone sat in the tea shop.

Dressed in expensive robes, the Retired Emperor was sat in an important position holding a purple tea cup in his hand, with an air of power and authority around him. Although there was a smile in his eyes, it also gave people a sense of oppression that was not anger but power behind them. There were two men sat on either side of him, each of whom looked beautiful and extraordinary. Of course the most impressive man there was the one dressed in white robes, the Third Prince Baili Jia Jue!

His elbows rested casually on the arms of the carved wooden chair, his slender white fingers tenderly supported the side of his face. The exquisite white robes moved with the wind, and his dark hair fluttered between the air, revealing his sharp chiseled handsome face, that showed good and evil. The light of the setting sun shone through the wooden window frame and outlined his perfect figure.

Sat across from him was the son of Murong Wangfu, Murong Changfeng. Compared with the cold and indifference of the Baili Jia Jue, his eyes were kind and warm. He wore a cloak of brocade, beneath it he wore robes with a blue embroidery and of cloud colour.

He looked at the scene downstairs and sneered. Now that woman would realise how difficult it would be to marry other than him. Although he did not like to see her treated this way, it was more important for her to realise this fact.

Eunuch Sun stood at one side. He was not as easy-going as Murong Changfeng. When he heard all this going on downstairs, he wanted to go and put it to a stop, but His Highness wanted to listen on. Therefore, Eunuch Sun stood by and watched His Highness, whose lips curled up in a smile but deep down he knew that it was just a mask, and beneath that mask was chilling.

It looked like someone was about to be unlucky. No matter what Helian Wei Wei meant to His Highness right now did not matter. To be so brazen as to introduce a husband for Helian Wei Wei in front of his Royal Highness .....
