The person Jin Ling brought back was a smart little maid who was called Jin'er.
"Sixth Miss Wei, I'm from the mansion of Deputy Minister Yang of the Ministry of Works. I accompanied our Eldest Young Lady to Plum Blossom Nunnery this time. My mistress was very anxious when she heard that you caught a cold but had no medicine. She has sent someone down the mountain to get some medicine and it will soon be brought over. My mistress is afraid that you will be anxious, so she sent me here to tell you about it."
Jin'er curtsied respectfully to Wei Yuewu and explained on the side.
Wei Yuewu's eyelashes fluttered. She stared at the maid with half-closed eyes for a while and smiled. "Send my thanks to your mistress for sending someone on a special errand to fetch medicine for me."
Why was this Eldest Miss Yang so warm-hearted to a stranger? Was it because Wei Yuewu came from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang?
'"Actually, it's not
It was in the middle of the hall, and a few beautiful young ladies stood there looking unkindly at them. One of them, who was wearing a crimson skirt embroidered with golden threads, was looking at them with an evident sneer. Coincidentally, this was Eldest Miss Yang's younger sister, the Second Miss Yang with the name of Yang Yurou, who was her sworn enemy and born by her stepmother.Shouldn't they go to a secluded corner if they were to have a heart-to-heart talk?Why was the actual situation so different from what she had imagined?More unfortunately, Wei Yuewu had turned to walk forward. At this time, Yang Yuyan could not stand still alone, so she had to follow behind Wei Yuewu and timidly moved towards the center of the raised platform in the hall."Why, isn't this my elder sister who always prefers to stay at home? Sister, didn't you say you didn't like to get involved in such gatherings and wouldn't come even if you are invi
As the Heir-apparents of the Duke of Chu State and of the Duke of Qi State were winking at each other, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the stairs. Mo Huating turned around and saw that the Crown Prince Wen Tianyao was coming in. Yan Huaijing, the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan, and Lu Yeli, the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Lu, followed slightly behind.Along with Mo Huating, the Fourth Prince Wen Yi accompanied Chu Fangnan, the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Chu, and Qi Yunhao, the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Qi. Seeing the crown prince coming upstairs, he stepped forward and greeted Wen Tianyao respectfully, "My brother, where have you been? When Marquis Jing Yuan and I brought the Heir-apparent of Chu and Heir-apparent of Qi over, we didn't see you!"With a faint smile, Wen Tianyao replied, "After waiting for you for a long time, Heir-apparent of Yan wanted to visit the hall first, so we went down."This side hall actually had a door
No one expected an assassin to appear at this moment. Four masked assassins suddenly appeared from behind the fence all of a sudden. A sword light flashed and all of them were aimed at the Crown Prince Wen Tianyao, who was standing in the middle of the crowd.Mo Huating put down the hands that were previously hooked at his waist and hurriedly rushed out with the guards beside the Crown Prince to stop the assassins.Wen Tianyao, Yan Huaijing, and the others were naturally used to seeing such scenes, but those young ladies of aristocratic families who were usually locked in their boudoirs had never seen this before, and they started to scream repeatedly. A few of them ran out in panic, causing the entire scene to become chaotic."Sixth… Sixth Young Lady." Before Wei Yuewu could speak, she felt her sleeve being grabbed and shaken by someone. She looked back and saw Yang Yuyan sticking close behind her with a frightened expression."Si
"Fourth Elder Sister, why did you pull me?" Wei Yuewu almost hung half of her body on Jin Ling's body. Anyone could see that she was trying her best to hold her breath."Sixth Younger Sister… wasn't it you… who pushed me?" Wei Qiufu did not expect Wei Yuewu to escape under such a situation. Not only did she escape, she was actually able to confront her now. Her eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of panic. However, she instantly calmed down. The corners of her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked as if she didn't dare to believe what had happened."I pushed you?" Wei Yuewu covered her shoulders with her hand. Her face was pale and bloodless. She only laughed softly, "I pushed you, so I almost hit the tip of the sword myself and died."I wanted to frame you, so I myself became a victim!Such logic could not make sense in any case. Wei Qiufu could not find anything to explain this logic. She was stunned for a moment. She did
Outside the crowd, Yang Yurou who had already made her decision said in a loud voice, "Eldest Sister, how come I didn't see Sixth Miss Wei pushing Fourth Miss Wei? Instead, I saw you pushing Sixth Miss Wei."People were greatly shocked by her words. Everyone looked at Yang Yuyan in astonishment."Second… Second Younger Sister, how could you say such words?" Being watched by so many people, Yang Yuyan was panicked and confused. She blushed and couldn't help but cry, "Even if you don't like me, you can't say such words!""Eldest Sister, I wasn't the only witness at that time. Don't tell me that you think other young ladies from aristocratic families will collaborate with me to frame you up." Since Yang Yurou stood out, she must have certain evidence. Moreover, she was by nature bolder than Yang Yuyan. At this moment, she pointed at the several young ladies beside her.When she followed Yang Yuyan all the way here, her bosom friends a
"The imperial doctor is outside. What's the matter with Miss?" Shufei asked nervously."Invite him in." Wei Yuewu shook her head.Shufei took the order. Jin Ling pulled down the gauze curtain for her again. She took a book from the shelf on one side and placed it on the front end of the bed.The imperial doctor was staying in the next room. When he heard that Wei Yuewu had woken up, he hurriedly picked up the medicine chest and followed Shufei into the main room.Jin Ling had already pulled Wei Yuewu's hand out of the gauze curtain, placed it on the book, and covered it with a gauze handkerchief.The imperial doctor sat down and stretched out his hand to check her pulse. His brows furrowed tightly. After that, he felt worried, stretched out another hand and checked her pulse again. Then he knitted his brows even tighter.Jin Ling and Shufei panted unconsciously.Finally, the imperial doctor fi
A few maids stopped together and stood in line on alert, but when they saw a smiling man coming out of the room, they lost their temper immediately. He was a young man about twenty years old. He was handsome and well-dressed, but he had an air that made him look quite sluggish. After he came out of the room, he leaned on the door frame like he had no bones. He looked a little tired and squinted at the maids. "Greetings, Master Lin!" Jin Ling and the two maids of the mansion of Duke of Yan State immediately saluted respectfully. This young man was Lin Fang, chief of the guards and the most trusted person around Yan Huaijing. Lin Fang came from an aristocratic family of Yan State. He was also Yan Huaijing's cousin. People in the mansion of Duke of Yan State all respectfully addressed him as Master Lin. Jin Ling had not seen him in any of the carriages before, but she was sure that Lin Fang was protecting Yan Huaijing secretly.
Wei Yuewu frowned and looked at the small brocade box on the table. She gasped slightly and instructed in a low voice, "Put it away!"Jin Ling immediately understood and hastily put the small brocade box into her pocket before she could take a closer look.On the other side, Wei Yuewu kicked the quilt to make it look loose and pulled the quilt on her face high, as if she was hiding under the quilt in a hurry.Shufei hurriedly put down the gauze tent for her.After a while, Wei Qiufu's gentle voice came from the door. "Is Sixth Younger Sister feeling better? I have come to see you."With that, Wei Qiufu walked over. Jin Ling nervously turned around and looked at the gauze tent. It looked like she was trying to stop someone. She hurriedly went forward to meet Wei Qiufu and said, "Fourth Young Lady, didn't I tell you to sit outside for a while and wait there while I came in to see if our Miss was awake?"She
