"That's enough, Luan'er. Your Third Elder Sister didn't say anything about it, so you should stop too. I'll have someone make new clothes for you," Empress Tu rebuked in dismay.
Seeing Empress Tu's angry face, the Fourth Princess pursed her lips and glared at the Third Princess in resentment.
"Sixth Miss Wei, do you want to get to the bottom of this?" Empress Tu looked at Wei Yuewu and asked with a hint of probing.
Wei Qiufu's expression immediately changed.
"No, I don't. We're sisters, so these are just some things that we don't have to say out loud." Wei Yuewu shook her head decisively. Her gaze fell on Wei Qiufu with a bit of desolation, but she did not say a word to her.
Wei Yuewu's silky hair was as smooth as a waterfall. Her long and curly eyelashes were like half-unfolded butterfly wings. Her pale lips were slightly pinkish as she bit it lightly. It was a pitiful encounter, but she donned a benevolent exp
"He didn't take a fancy to any of them? What exactly does he want?" Wen Tianyao's face sank. "Is there not one noble lady in the capital that he likes?""The eunuch that was sent over said that Yan Huaijing mentioned Jing Wenyan's name." The Third Prince said meaningfully.Wen Tianyao frowned. "Didn't they say that the two families wanted to arrange the marriage for the two of them but it was canceled because Yan Huaijing didn't agree to it at that time?""Maybe he changed his mind." The Third Prince's eyes gleamed as he spoke in a steady voice.The Third Prince said so because back then, the State of Yan had intended to attack and conquer the State of Jing, so the Yan Family was not keen on the marriage between Yan Huaijing and Jing Wenyan. If they had gotten married and then the State of Yan invaded the State of Jing, it would have discredited the Yan Family."So, are you saying that Yan Huaijing has taken a f
The writing brush washer was still the same as before, but the flower-shaped note in the writing brush washer was missing."Miss, t-the note inside is missing!" Ming Yan cried out in alarm. She picked up the writing brush washer and poured it out hard. She then looked down at the brush container, but she could not find the note no matter how hard she tried."It's gone?" Wei Qiufu walked over with a gloomy face."Yes, it was there before. I saw it several times!" Ming Yan hurriedly said, afraid that Wei Qiufu would think that she was not doing her job well.Wei Qiufu had seen the note by chance, but she did not know where it came from, so she did not dare to move it. Unexpectedly, after so many days, no one came to take it, which was really surprising. However, the most surprising thing was that it disappeared at this time.The people who entered her room just now were none other than Crown Prince's and Zhaoyi Tu
"So, it has something to do with Concubine Dong?" The maid was so shocked that her face turned pale."Yes! If you don't believe me, you can ask Ming Yan!" Jin Ling nodded, her face full of fear."I-I will go and report to the Madam Dowager first!" The maid did not dare to stay for a moment. She quickly turned around and walked towards Tranquility Courtyard.In Tranquility Courtyard, the Madam Dowager was sitting on the chair, her face gloomy.Her goal was never simple when her two granddaughters entered the Palace. It was a great honor to join the Third Princess' prayer ceremony. It might be even more glorious to her family if the imperial family took a fancy to her two granddaughters. However, the old maidservant, who was waiting at the entrance of the Palace, reported that she heard from the other young ladies saying that Fourth Miss Wei had plotted against Sixth Miss Wei and even the Empress was alerted.It s
Although it had happened a long time ago, the past events had slowly appeared in the Madam Dowager's memory because of these materials in front of her.The engagement between the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang and Grand Preceptor Tu Mansion was something that was beneficial to both mansions, so she requested on behalf of her eldest son to marry the Second Young Lady, who was Grand Preceptor Tu's biological daughter.The Tu Family's daughter was famous all over the world. The outstanding ladies from the other branches of the Tu Family would also be included in the main branch. However, Second Miss Tu was Grand Preceptor Tu's biological daughter, which made her special from other daughters. Marrying her was equivalent to obtaining Grand Preceptor Tu's support.Since this daughter was different from the other Tu Family's daughters, marrying her would naturally require more effort. The Madam Dowager also racked her brains for this, fearing that
The Madam Dowager's maid came with Concubine Dong and happened to meet Wei Yuewu. Upon the sight, Concubine Dong stopped and bowed slightly to Wei Yuewu. "Greetings, Sixth Young Lady, welcome back. How was life in the Palace? Was it good?"Wei Yuewu curtsied slightly. "Greetings, Concubine Dong. How are you doing in the mansion?""I'm doing well in the mansion, thank you for asking. It's just that Lord Marquis has begun to meet guests recently. He had people prepare some gifts before, saying that he was going to meet the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State. I figured that this matter was related to you, and I had better wait until you returned to the mansion before making the arrangement."Concubine Dong smiled politely, but she did not mention the matter of burning Wei Yuewu's mother's courtyard. It was as if she did not know about this matter at all.Wei Yuewu's gaze fell on Concubine Dong's clothes. She was dressed qui
Many people knew Jin Ling was Sixth Young Lady's maid. Previously, someone openly condemned Sixth Young Lady and was harshly scolded by Jin Ling. They looked at Marquise Hua Yang's courtyard in front of them and then at Jin Ling. At this moment, they could not make up their minds.Seeing that the young maid actually stopped the gardeners and servants, the geomancer was enraged and barged forward with the broken branch in his hand, wanting to chase Jin Ling away."Where do you come from, girl? This is the Madam Dowager's order. You know nothing!"As he spoke, he raised the branch in his hand and swung it toward Jin Ling."How dare you! I am Sixth Young Lady's maid!" Seeing that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, Jin Ling did not want to be beaten, but she couldn't reveal her skills at this time, so she could only retreat to the side and shout angrily.Of course, she did not want to make a big deal out
"Where did this come from?" Wei Yuewu's eyes seemed to burn with fire."Uh... I accidentally stained it when I barged at the geomancer just now," Jin Ling muttered in confusion while looking at her sleeve.Wei Yuewu's eyes were tightly fixed on that stained sleeve. Then, under the astonished gazes of the maids, Wei Yuewu reached out to take a pair of scissors from the basket beside her and neatly cut off Jin Ling's ink-stained sleeve."Miss..." Huamo was shocked and wanted to stop her, but Shufei stopped her.Wei Yuewu cut off the sleeve, placed it in front of her nose, and sniffed it carefully. Sure enough, that strange smell was emitted from the ink on Jin Ling's sleeve. It was not the smell of ink, but it was mixed with the thick smell of ink. It was almost impossible to trace the smell.She would not have noticed it had Grandmother not specially mentioned it to her and asked her to see it. She would not have
When Concubine Dong saw the pile of vibrant-colored clothes, she was taken aback and froze for a moment, and her face instantly turned ghastly pale. She could tell that these were the clothes she had given to Wei Yuewu at a sight.Concubine Dong unconsciously trembled. No one knew better than her how much the Madam Dowager valued the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.She originally thought that these clothes had long vanished in the Palace. If the Empress saw the clothes, she would think that Wei Yuewu was trying to provoke her, so that Wei Yuewu would be doomed. Moreover, if something happened, she would definitely punish Wei Yuewu severely without telling her the real reason.To her surprise, Wei Yuewu had returned in one piece, and these clothes were thrown in front of her."M-M-Madam Dowager, I-I don't understand. What do you mean by this?" Concubine Dong suppressed the fear in her heart and stammered."You don't
