Wei Yuejiao had thought that Wei Yuewu was talking nonsense, but now she suddenly remembered that after she came back, she found out that Wei Yan's death indeed had something to do with an Imperial Academician named Xie Qingzhao.
"Xie Qingzhao?" She subconsciously blurted.
"If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask around. This Lord Xie is specially prepared for you." Wei Yuewu's sarcastic gaze silently enraged Wei Yuejiao. She did not believe that Wei Yuejiao could endure it.
The fact was that Xie Qingzhao had indeed proposed to Wei Yuejiao, and he had communicated it to Madam Dowager through Third Madam Zhang. It was probably because he felt that he could not afford a marriage with a legitimate daughter of the mansion, and that of the two concubine-born daughters, Wei Yuejiao was more favored.
"Or, you can ask Fourth Elder Sister. I heard from Fourth Elder Sister that she has a good relationship with Imperial Academician X
The Madam Dowager was quite sophisticated and had certainly realized some implied meaning in Wei Yuewu's words. She frowned tightly and looked at Wei Yuewu thoughtfully.Princess Nan'an was a formidable person. If this incident really had nothing to do with Wei Fengyao, she would certainly ask the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang to apologize. But now, Princess Nan'an didn't make a fuss, and she even acknowledged the relationship between Wei Qiuju and the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan'an, and she intentionally showed her favor for Wei Qiuju. In consideration of these, the Madam Dowager believed that Wei Qiuju must enjoy a high status even if she was merely a concubine in Prince Nan'an Mansion.That meant Wei Qiuju would become a properly-recognized concubine of the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan'an.On the surface, it seemed that Prince Nan'an Mansion had suffered a loss. But why did Princess Nan'an accept it all?Finding Wei Yuewu had succe
"It was said that one time, Concubine Dong returned to the mansion, she left the dining table angrily because she didn't like the dishes. As a result, the Madam Dowager punished the kitchen servants by deducting their salary." Shufei told Wei Yuewu everything she had heard."Miss, I think the Madam Dowager is treating Concubine Dong so kind that they don't seem to be a mother-in-law and a concubine. Concubine Dong is more like a relative of the Madam Dowager." Huamo couldn't help but interrupt when she heard what Huamo said."I don't think they are relatives. On the contrary, it seems that the Madam Dowager is trying to please Concubine Dong." Jin Ling had a deeper insight and said after thinking for a moment."How could it be? Concubine Dong is not even considered a mistress in this family. The Madam Dowager is the most respected in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang." Huamo retorted in surprise.Wei Yuewu received the chopsticks fro
Wei Yuewu kept staring coldly at Nanny Hong. When she found that Nanny Hong's eyes flickered, a sneer slid through her eyes. It seemed that Nanny Hong must know some inside stories."Nanny Hong, since my father has always been missing my mother, he would never allow my mother's courtyard to become desolate in ruins, right? I want to borrow the key to my mother's courtyard so that I could clean it up before my father arrives." Wei Yuewu smiled and said."Well..." Nanny Hong hesitated.Marquise Hua Yang's courtyard was not a place that anyone could go. The Madam Dowager sometimes found it rather difficult to handle the courtyard. She only hoped that everyone would ignore the existence of that courtyard."Is that impossible? Or did you say those words merely to make me feel better? Could it be that my father didn't care about my mother at all and would rather like to see the courtyard where my mother lived become desolate?" Wei Yuewu
However, with the death of the mistress, everything here seemed to have been sealed in the dust. Even if someone would clean the house during festivals, it was only a matter of formality.The man who once said that he was deeply in love with her mother and was even willing to cancel his engagement with another woman for her mother had long forgotten everything about this place. He should have never visited this courtyard!Otherwise, why would the people in this mansion treat this courtyard so lightly, and they even left the yard in mess for such a long time...If Wei Yuewu's mother was still alive, Wei Yuewu would never be sent to her maternal grandmother's mansion at such a young age. Every time when Wei Yuewu's maternal grandmother mentioned her mother with tears, Wei Yuewu felt much pain in her heart. Sometimes, she could not even say a word because of the pain.As a result, Wei Yuewu's maternal grandmother gradually stopped men
Nanny Hong responded and went into the back room. She took out a new dress and put it in front of Wei Yuewu. Then, she said with a smile, "Sixth Young Lady, this is the dress Concubine Dong made in person for you. Concubine Dong rejected all the help from maids and nannies when she was working on this dress. She said this dress was exclusively made for you and that you must wear it. Concubine Dong especially sent a person to deliver the dress riding a horse early this morning."That meant the dress was delivered to the mansion early this morning.Wei Yuewu squinted and concealed the mocking smile in her eyes. She took a deep breath before suppressing the hatred in her heart. So, this Concubine Dong was especially trying to show how much she cared about her, right? Well, since that was the case, she would like to cooperate and stage a wonderful performance for Concubine Dong!"When Concubine Dong comes back to the mansion, I ought to thank her!"
The two voices came out at the same time, and for a moment, Old Li did not know whom he should obey. Old Li scratched his head and felt that it was better to listen to the Sixth Young Lady. Thus, he stopped the carriage at a side of the main road inside the city gate and parked at a place that was sheltered from the wind and facing the sun."Why do you have to stop inside the city gate? There are so many people coming and going. What if we miss father's carriage?" Wei Yuejiao glared at Wei Yuewu and said aggressively."Father's carriage must be escorted by many people other than Concubine Dong!" Wei Yuewu also opened her eyes and stretched out her hand to pull her sleeve up as she said slowly."What do you mean?" Wei Yuejiao could not bear to hear Wei Yuewu speaking of Concubine Dong disrespectfully. So, she burst into anger the moment she heard Wei Yuewu's words."I'm just telling you that when our father's carriage comes into the
When their father asked Wei Yuewu about her clothes, Wei Yuejiao believed that she would definitely tell him about how Wei Yuewu changed clothes inside the carriage, so that the entire capital would be laughing at Wei Yuewu.But in the next moment, Wei Yuejiao was stunned when she found that Wei Yuewu was wearing another outer coat inside the one that had become dirty. Wei Yuejiao wondered if Wei Yuewu knew how to dress properly and if there was something wrong with Wei Yuewu's brain.However, Wei Yuejiao only frowned slightly and despised Wei Yuewu for a moment. She didn't bother caring too much about this. She believed that Wei Yuewu didn't know how to dress properly. But this was also helpful for Wei Yuejiao because this could at least let their father know which daughter was more decent.Wei Yuejiao could see at a glance that Wei Yuewu's outer coat was made of rough materials.Wei Yuejiao didn't carefully look at the dress Conc
After comparing the words Wei Yuewu and Wei Yuejiao used to address Concubine Dong, everyone started to look at Concubine Dong with contempt.One could see that the concubine must be quite ambitious because she even allowed her own daughter to call her "mother"."Your… your clothes…" Concubine Dong was dumbfounded and almost fainted as she looked at her gorgeously dressed daughter.Inside the carriage, Wei Luowen stared at Wei Yuewu's face with a complicated look. The book in his hands was tightly pinched together."I know you made the dress stitch by stitch for me. I will certainly cherish this dress." Wei Yuejiao hurriedly changed the topic because she was afraid that Concubine Dong's words might expose the fact that she had taken Wei Yuewu's dress by force. At this time, she found many people out on the street. So she immediately stopped using "mother" to address Concubine Dong."Isn't this dress made for Yuewu?" We
