The Fourth Prince subconsciously stretched out his hands and stared at the young girl in his arms with a dumbfounded expression.
"You… who are you? You actually dare to intrude into the inner courtyard!" Wei Yuejiao pushed away the man in front of her in panic and scolded him angrily.
How could she not be angry? Obviously, her target was the elegant and charming Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State. Why did he change to the man in front of her? Even though this man looked not bad and seemed to be from either a wealthy or aristocratic family, how could he compare to the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State?
Previously, when she was in the crowd, her attention was attracted by the charm of this heir-apparent of Yan with just a single glance. Now, her own affairs had been basically settled. When she heard that Yan Huaijing was in the backyard, she hurried over.
How could she be kind to the Fourth Prince in front of her who had mad
"Have the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State and the Fourth Prince passed by?""Sixth Young Lady, I saw the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State and the Fourth Prince. I wanted to stop them, but they punished me and ordered me to kneel here. It was not that I did not stop them, but I wasn't able to stop them."The old maidservant's face was filled with grievance."Where did they go?" Wei Yuewu frowned and asked in displeasure."They headed towards that direction to the outer courtyard. Sixth Young Lady, if you want to find them, just go that way." The old maidservant hurriedly stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of the outer courtyard."Get up. Watch the door carefully in the future. Even if the prince comes over, you should know better than act rashly. Remember to report to the Madam Dowager if anything happens." Wei Yuewu nodded and said softly to the old maidservant.Seeing that We
Wei Yuewu's watery eyes narrowed as she calmed herself down. She raised her head and saw Yan Huaijing floating into the window. So she relaxed for a moment and supported the bookshelf with her hand to collect herself."You… why are you here?" Wei Yuewu lowered her voice and said angrily. She was really scared out of her wits a moment ago.The old maidservant's low voice still came from outside, and Jin Ling interrupted her from time to time, which however made the old maidservant feel even more aggrieved and pour out her troubles."If you can come, why can't I?!" Yan Huaijing raised his handsome eyebrows and walked over to get the box from above for Wei Yuewu. He elegantly handed it over, just like how those young masters of aristocratic families handed a gift to the young ladies whom they took a fancy to.Of course, Wei Yuewu didn't dare to think about this. Others may not know the true face of this heir-apparent, how could she no
There were many speculations in Wei Fengyao's heart, but she didn't expect to see such a scene. For a moment, she froze at the door in horror.Jin Ling came over and stuck her head in. Then, she shouted in shock, "Miss!"Wei Yuewu lay in a spacious armchair in the study. She did not exhibit any sign of life. The book she had been reading fell to the ground, and there was a dagger stuck on the desk, shining with cold light. There was nothing else, but upon seeing this scene, anyone would immediately know what had happened.At this time, the old maidservant who guarded the door with Jin Ling also entered the study and cast a look out of curiosity. She immediately ran out as she shouted in a shrill voice, "Help! The Sixth Young Lady has been assassinated, she has been killed!"Because of fear, the old maidservant's voice was particularly sharp and hoarse, and it shocked the servants who were passing by the courtyard entrance. Someone
"Sixth Younger Sister, help me!" As soon as Wei Yuewu entered the courtyard, Wei Qiuju, who was waiting for her in the porch, covered her face and ran out crying."Fifth Elder Sister, please sit inside!" Wei Yuewu smiled and said calmly.Wei Qiuju also knew that she had acted with a bit of exaggeration in the porch. She followed Wei Yuewu into the room and the moment she was in the room, tears flew down her cheeks. "Sixth Younger Sister, there are rumors that I hung out with a lad servant outside. I was apparently at the banquet all the time, but everyone said they didn't see me!"In fact, Wei Qiuju had been watching the show as an onlooker since Wei Yuewu was falsely charged. She thought that it was impossible for her to be involved in this matter. In any case, this matter could not affect her. It was just a fight between Wei Yuewu and Wei Yuejiao, the two daughters of the first branch of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. She was seated beside
It was still the same piece of paper. There were only two lines of neatly written characters on it, which respectively read Prince Bei'an Mansion and the Crown Prince Tianyao. Other than these characters, there were only the tears left behind by Mother, which seemed to suggest something. However, Wei Yuewu could not understand the implied meaning. Even though she had seen something in Wei Luowu's study today, she still did not understand! Wei Yuewu's fingers moved back and forth between the two lines of characters. Prince Bei'an Mansion was clearly the Prince Bei'an Mansion she saw today in Wei Luowu's study, and another key point was a favored prince who had been locked up for life and was no longer mentioned by others. But what did those have to do with the Crown Prince? There was no doubt that the Crown Prince Wen Tianyao, emperor-to-be of the country, would succeed to the throne in the future. It was as if he was born to be the future of
"Yueya, why are you here?" Wei Yuewu looked at Yueya in front of her, and her eyes were slightly raised as she said indifferently. Originally, Yueya was looking around outside and she was shocked when Jin Ling suddenly grabbed her. At this time, she had recovered and she hurriedly bowed to Wei Yuewu and explained, "Greetings, Sixth Young Lady. Our Miss sent me over to see you because she heard that Sixth Young Lady was frightened before." "Your Miss asked you to come over. Why did you just walk around outside?" Jin Ling asked with an unfriendly expression. "I… I was afraid that the Sixth Young Lady was having a rest, so… so I was wondering if I should come back later." Yueya said anxiously. Jin Ling still wanted to ask, but Wei Yuewu smiled and waved her hand, "Did Fifth Elder Sister just ask you to come and see if I was alright?" "Not only that, there's also this. Our Miss went to the temple to ask for it some ti
"Grandmother, do you think I've interfered in the grudge between Third Younger Sister and Sixth Younger Sister?" Wei Fengyao hurriedly explained, "Grandmother, Third Younger Sister is Eldest Uncle's most beloved daughter. If it's really confirmed, her reputation must be stained. Eldest Uncle will surely feel very uncomfortable in his heart. And you, Grandmother, it'll also be hard for you to make a decision. I'm considering it for you, Grandmother."Wei Fengyao was prepared that Madam Dowager might find out it was she who had plotted the thing. Her shrewd Grandmother was not her mother. Fortunately, she had prepared this speech earlier."Since that's the case, why did you change your mind?" Madam Dowager asked with a gloomy face, but her aggressive expression softened a bit. Obviously, she was still willing to listen to Wei Fengyao's explanation."Grandmother, although Third Younger Sister is Eldest Uncle's most beloved daughter, if Fifth Young
After a while, the Madam Dowager said coldly, "Yuejiao, go back and rest first. Yuewu, you stay for a while. I have something to say.""Grandmother, I also want to stay." Seeing that Wei Yuewu alone was left behind, Wei Yuejiao hurriedly said.The Madam Dowager said coldly with a long face, "What are you doing here? Your concubine mother is coming back soon. Tell her to properly restrain the people around her when she comes back. Don't think that I am really ignorant of what people of the mansion have done."There was too much information in these words. For a time, Wei Yuejiao did not dare to be arrogant by taking advantage of the Madam Dowager's fondness of her. She pinched her hands in her sleeves and said, "Yes, grandmother!"Then, she looked back at Wei Yuewu and stomped her feet in hatred before leaving."Yuewu, sit down first!" The Madam Dowager's expression softened as she sighed and said to Wei Yuewu.
