The curtain of the inner room was quietly pulled open, revealing Wei Yuejiao's face. She poked out her head and asked cautiously, "Mother, has my father left?"
After she ran out of Wei Luowen's study, she immediately came to Concubine Dong's courtyard and told Concubine Dong to make preparations.
"Yes!" Concubine Dong's expression was cold.
"Mother, my father actually gave all of his gems to Wei Yuewu. What is special about that little bitch that she deserves to be doted by father so much? I grew up beside father." Wei Yuejiao's wide skirt twisted uncontrollably, her face filled with unwillingness and resentment. "She can't even compare with a single finger of mine. Why should father leave all the good stuff to her?"
Thinking back to the glittering gemstones and Wei Yuewu's determination when she refused to have them, Wei Yuejiao couldn't control her anger. She felt that without Wei Yuewu, those things would all belong to her. The
Wei Yuewu was his little fox. How could he allow others to spy on her?Although the time was not ripe yet, Wei Luowen and Wei Louwu could not fail to receive his warning!The wind swept up a corner of the painting. The woman in the painting was a dazzling beauty and looked as pure as clean snow!"Master, suddenly sending gifts to the Lord Minister, this… is a break with convention!" The guard hesitated for a moment, but he still expressed his worries. From whichever perspective, his master shouldn't send the Minister such a gift. The fact that a vassal lord sent beautiful women to the backyard of a high-ranking court minister would be easily interpreted as an act of surveillance.Yan Huaijing inserted the brush back into the bookshelf and gracefully shook his snow-white pajamas. A lazy smile appeared on his handsome face. "Leak information to the three heirs-apparent. Let them know that I have a good personal relationship with Mini
Wei Yuewu hesitated for a moment, but she still pushed open the window resolutely and nimbly. It was dark outside, and she couldn't see anything clearly. The surroundings were very quiet. Only when she pushed the window was there a faint sound, which seemed a little too abrupt in the night!There was no one outside. Thanks to the faint starlight, Wei Yuewu suddenly saw a folded piece of paper on the desk beside the window. She reached out to pick it up and closed the window again.She walked to the bed and lit up the lamp on the table. Then, she looked at the paper that was folded into a flower in her hand.It was an exquisite method of paper folding. Wei Yuewu had never seen such a method before! The folded flower was also exceptionally beautiful. Moreover, this paper was not an ordinary piece of white paper, but was pink. Perhaps a young lady from a noble family had dyed it with flower petals when she had nothing to do in her boudoir. With th
Wei Luowen held a painting in his hand, his expression as cold as ever. After sitting down, he put the painting aside and asked, "Second Brother, are these beauties in the courtyard sent over by the heirs-apparent?""Yes, Elder Brother, what do you think?" Wei Luowu had a troubled expression on his face, as if he was asking for advice with an open heart."What did Mother say?" Wei Luowen asked after thinking for a while."Mother asked me to put them all in the same courtyard and accept them for the time being!" Wei Luowu lowered his head and looked helpless."Then just do as Mother said!" Wei Luowen said decisively."Alright, I will do as Elder Brother and Mother said." Wei Luowu nodded and let out a long sigh. He turned around and instructed the lad servant beside him, "Take them to Concubine Huang and let Concubine Huang find a courtyard for them."The lad servant received the order and led the eight bea
"That place… has long been deserted. There is nothing special about it that is worth seeing!" Wei Luowen said with a faint gaze, his expression cold and indifferent."Father, you are wrong. I think that courtyard is the best place to hold a memorial ceremony for my mother. No matter how well the eternal lantern is taken care of in the Plum Blossom Nunnery, my mother has never lived there before. Visiting the courtyard where my mother used to live when she was alive is a much better way to remember my mother." Wei Yuewu said softly, her long butterfly-like eyelids flashing, her eyes slightly red.Although she had thought of these words in advance, her words did sound reasonable.Seeing Wei Yuewu's sad appearance, Wei Luowen felt a little sad and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "But...""Father, you can take me to the Plum Blossom Nunnery after you feel better. However, I do hope to frequently visit the place where my mother
The exquisite eight-folded screen with gorgeously embroidered patterns was left there casually. Such a screen would look decent wherever it was placed.But now, it could be seen that it was half-closed and casually put aside. How could Wei Luowen not recognize the eight-folded screen? This was once his wife's most beloved item, and he had even joked that he would leave it to their daughter as her dowry in the future.But now, it was given to Wei Yuejiao, not to Wei Yuewu. The meaning behind this was enough to make Wei Luowen furious.Without taking a seat, he directly asked, "Where did this screen come from?""Fath… father, thi… this was prepared a long time ago. I didn't know anything about it. It was here when I moved in." Wei Yuejiao also noticed that something was wrong. She rolled her eyes and hastily denied.Of course, she would not say that she knew this screen belonged to Wei Yuewu's mother, and that she once s
Concubine Dong's goal was to become Marquise Hua Yang. As she was back in the capital this time, she was determined to achieve her goal. But now, her precious daughter Wei Yuejiao kept running into trouble and making things difficult for her. Of course, she had to make a gesture in front of Wei Luowen. Well, Wei Yuewu did need for her to make a gesture!Within Marquis Hua Yang's study, Concubine Dong knelt on the ground and wiped away her tears while crying, "Lord Marquis, it was all because of the lax discipline of me that Yuejiao was so indulgent. She actually came up with such a method to protect her maids. She is really… really too disappointing!"These words sounded as if she was criticizing Wei Yuejiao, but in fact, they were intended as a compliment to Wei Yuejiao for being kind to her maids and protecting them.As soon as something happened to Wei Yuejiao, Concubine Dong was informed about it. However, she didn't dare to show up immedia
"Yes, then madam, do you want to write a letter first?" Nanny Dong nodded and asked in a low voice."I will immediately write a letter after I get back. You must personally deliver it to the Second Lady and reiterate my point to her. Besides, don't forget, this is the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. You must call me concubine, not madam!" Concubine Dong nodded and coldly glanced at Nanny Dong as she warned her."Con… concubine, yes, I remembered. Just now, Nanny Hong sent a message saying that Lord Marquis is going to visit Marquise Hua Yang's old courtyard and she asked us if there is anything unsightly in the courtyard?" Nanny Dong awkwardly responded and switched the topic to report on the messages she had just received from the maid."There's nothing unsightly there. I sent people to clean it up several times back then." Concubine Dong shook her head, but then she stopped and asked, "Why did Lord Marquis suddenly want to visit that courtyard?"
"What's going on?" Wei Luowen suddenly said sternly. It was obvious that he was extremely furious."This… the curtain is very old. Perhaps it hasn't been changed since mother died. Mother has been forgotten by the people in the mansion for so many years!" Wei Yuewu looked up at the curtain and reached out to touch it. She said sadly, "I'm afraid the servants in the mansion have long forgotten that my mother was Marquise Hua Yang!"Such words were almost like daggers stabbing Wei Luowen in the heart. He remembered how he had treated her with caution, but after her death, she was ignored like this. The curtain in her room had already turned white and yellow after so many years. However, no one thought of changing it. How could he not be angry!Previously, he only felt that the house was very clean, but when he observed the artifacts in the house, he found they all bore traces of time. Although those moldy corners of the quilts were cleaned carefu
