"You...." The Madam Dowager did not expect Wei Yuewu to lead their conversation astray rather than refuse directly. Her chest swelled with anger and she glared at Wei Yuewu. Adopting a gloomy face, she made her words clearer, "I'm talking about your father and Concubine Dong."
She didn't believe that Wei Yuewu dared to oppose her.
"I know you are talking about father and Concubine Dong, grandmother. Concubine Dong has taken care of father for so many years. That's a lot of hard work. However, a servant is a servant. It'll be unfair to father. With father's status, he can absolutely marry a first daughter from a noble family, whose identity is much more respectable. The mansion of Marquis Hua Yang is a veritable aristocratic family. We can't let people say that father is only worthy of a servant, right?" Wei Yuewu's beautiful eyes were as clear as water. She looked like she was sincerely considering for her father as she uttered those words candidly.

Concubine Huang was sick? Ever since Lady Li's face was scratched, the Second Master had been staying in Concubine Huang's courtyard for seven or eight days out of ten. He stood up when he heard Concubine Huang was unwell. Since he had no mood for official business at this time, he nodded at the maid and left the study for the inner courtyard.When he arrived at Concubine Huang's residence, he saw Concubine Huang coming out with a sad expression. Upon seeing him, she covered her face with a handkerchief and cried pitiably without saying anything.The Second Master came over and reached out to take his concubine by the hand and asked softly, "What's the matter? How are you feeling? Just see the doctor. What are you crying for?""My lord, ever since I was given to you, I have always been thinking that I owe you a huge debt for I didn't give birth to any son. It's really my fault." Concubine Huang cried more sadly. She buried herself in the arms o
Lady Li knew that Wei Luowu had been to Concubine Huang's courtyard."A concubine's words? Well, should I call more doctors and let them see if I've been taking gastrodia fruit for a long time. How long has Concubine Huang been in the mansion? Do you think it's because of her that I've been taking medicine for so long a time?"Wei Luowu sneered and kicked away Lady Li's hand with his leg. He ignored her and directly went to the Madam Dowager's Tranquility Pavilion.The issue of male offspring? He couldn't even define how serious this issue could be!If in the future his eldest brother had no…. Then the number of sons he had would be of utmost significance!Wei Yuewu had just arrived at the Tranquility Pavilion. She came here after learning that Wei Luowu had gone to Lady Li's courtyard. She brought over the materials she had chosen for the Madam Dowager on the day when she went to the street. The materials were all of
The Eldest Young Master of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was Wei Ziyang, Lady Li's son. Instead of staying with his own father, Wei Luowu, he followed Marquis Hua Yang Wei Luowen and was most trusted by the Marquis.It was said that at least a small number of people around Marquis Hua Yang had faith in this Eldest Young Master and were convinced that this Eldest Young Master would become the legitimate successor of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang in the future.It was precisely because of the outstanding Wei Ziyang that Lady Zhang from the third branch was completely at a disadvantage against Lady Li. As a result, the backyard of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang had been under the control of Lady Li for many years. Even though Lady Zhang also had sons, her sons were too plain. Besides, the Second Master was the Minister of Rites. Due to all these factors, the third branch was completely in an inferior position.Perhaps this was one of the impo
Wei Qiuju was totally at a loss right now. Hearing Yueya's words, she subconsciously felt that Wei Yuewu might be her life-saving straw. Since Wei Yuewu was so capable…."Let's go to the Lotus Courtyard." Wei Qiuju gritted her teeth. Although she looked down on Wei Yuewu from the bottom of her heart, she had no choice but to go to the Lotus Courtyard. Well, perhaps she was in the so-called situation in which a dead horse had to be treated as if it were still alive.If Wei Yuewu really could be helpful, she wouldn't mind putting aside her pride. After all, her marriage mattered most.Wei Yuewu was having dinner when Wei Qiuju came. The kitchen made her a fish-head soup with tofu. With a fresh taste and color, tofu and a few scallions, the soup looked very delicious."Fifth Elder Sister, it's rare for you to come over. There happened to be quite a few dishes today. How about having dinner together with me, Fifth Elder Sister?" Wei Yu
Yueya was shocked to see Shuiyue squatting at the wall with sweat on her forehead and blood on the corner of her lips. She hurriedly came over and put aside her bundle. She reached out to help Shuiyue up and asked, "Sister Shuiyue, what's wrong? Are you sick? Do you need a doctor?"Yueya's face was filled with anxiety."I hit…into the wall. I'm not feeling well." Shuiyue's eyes involuntarily landed on the covering of the bundle, "You… where did you come from?""I came from the sewing room. My mistress made some clothes and I didn't take back all of them last time. I am free today, so I went to get the rest. I don't know if my mistress will like them or not!" Yueya said as she helped Shuiyue up."Weren't clothes made for all the mistresses last time?" That was when the Madam Dowager arranged to make clothes for the young ladies who were invited to the mansion of the Prince of Nan'an."Those clothes are too gorgeous for
Qianxi threw away the clothes in her arms and clutched Wei Yuewu's feet. She pleaded loudly."Sixth Young Lady, Sixth Young Lady, save me please. Tell the Madam Dowager that it was not my idea. I'm just a servant. Why…why would I want Imperial Academician Xie's clothes?"The clothes were scattered all over the ground. It could be seen that they were not skirts for girls but clothes for men. Considering Qianxi's previous words and her current behavior, she was almost saying that Wei Yuewu had sent her to get the clothes. How would she, a maid, have the guts to take Xie Qingzhao's clothes?Nanny Hong walked out of the room. Her eyes blinked and then landed on Wei Yuewu, who was calmly shaking her legs. Traces of suspicion came across her eyes!Shufei pulled Qianxi away and shouted, "Qianxi, how dared you touch these clothes? Where did you find them?""Sixth Young Lady, I… I have to say, Sixth Young Lady, or the Madam Dow
"Why would I let you, a half stranger who's just been assigned to my courtyard, do such a thing for me instead of the other maids who are closer to me?" Wei Yuewu's eyes were so cold that Qianxi didn't dare to raise her head to look into them!"It's precisely because I'm not Sixth Young Lady's closest maid, and that I used to be Madam Dowager's maid, so that when something happened, Sixth Young Lady could blame me for everything."Qianxi naturally insisted on her argument at this moment.Her argument was clear: Wei Yuewu chose her because she was not Wei Yuewu's most trusted servant. If anything went wrong, Wei Yuewu could blame her for it. In addition, she used to be the Madam Dowager's maid. Even if she did something wrong, she might be spared for the Madam Dowager's sake.Anyway, the only option for her today was to accuse the Sixth Young Lady for asking her to do all these. Otherwise, the Second Lady would definitely not spare
"Grand… grandmother… I… I don't know. These… these clothes definitely aren't mine." Seeing the scattered clothes all over the ground, Wei Yan wildly shook her hands and explained in panic with her eyes wide open."Didn't you just say that these were all yours and you asked your maid to get them?" Before the clothes were scattered, Wei Yan had insisted that the clothes were hers and she had specially asked her maid to get them for her."I... I... I don't know." Wei Yan was really anxious. She really didn't know why her newly-made clothes would turn into men's clothes. This was clearly the bundle that Shuiyue had brought from the sewing room for her."Grandmother, don't be angry. Although this is a matter of our mansion, it also concerns Imperial Academician Xie. Second Elder Sister's current situation...." Wei Yuewu walked to the Madam Dowager's side, lowered her body and whispered those suggestive words in the Madam Dowager's ear. Such a matter
