Was he stalling? Wei Yuewu smiled faintly. "Where did he go next?"
"After everything has been settled, he left the construction site. I followed him all the way as he walked around the mansion leisurely. It seemed that he was very familiar with the layout of the mansion. He even casually walked around the garden before finally turning to the flower gate."
Because she felt that the geomancer might be stalling for time, Shufei thought about it carefully and continued, "I feel that he spent the longest time outside the door of a particular courtyard. There were a few plum blossoms planted there, but they weren't that beautiful, so much so that they could captivate him to look at them again and again."
"Did anyone come out?" Wei Yuewu frowned and asked.
"Yes! Someone did come out. I saw a woman pouring a basin of water out, and she seemed to accidentally pour it on him. She apologized to him and even said a few words to him, but
The Madam Dowager slapped Wei Qiufu hard on the face, causing Wei Qiufu to stagger and directly squat on the ground in front of the bed."Grandmother..." Wei Qiufu stared at the Madam Dowager in shock. Her eyes were filled with visible grudge, anger, and disbelief.All this while, she had seen Wei Yan being disciplined and scolded. She had always been the role model of the daughters of aristocratic families. She had never thought that she would be slapped by the Madam Dowager one day."Y-You swear!" The Madam Dowager barked harshly. "I want you to swear to Yuewu that you didn't do any of this, and you didn't want to hurt her.""Grandmother..." Wei Qiufu had a wronged expression on her face."Swear!" The Madam Dowager snapped hatefully.Under the pressure from the Madam Dowager, Wei Qiufu had no choice but to kneel on the ground and began to swear with tears in her eyes, "Sixth Younger Sister, I didn
Wei Qiufu had never expected that Wei Yuewu would put her hands on her. She almost fell off the bridge when she caught the fence aside just in time. She was so surprised that blood drained from her face."Enter the Crown Prince Mansion? So what?" Wei Yuewu calmly retracted her hand."Wei Yuewu, what do you want?" Wei Qiufu never thought that Wei Yuewu would not only refuse to curry favor with her but also push her down from the bridge. Ashamed and exasperated, she dropped her act, stood up straight, and snapped indignantly."I don't want anything. However, Fourth Elder Sister, did you really not know that someone tried to frame me? Do you want me to go to my father right now and tell him that you were the one who sent those clothes to me? How about the Third Princess' clothes? As for how the clothes were found in your room, maybe someone was frustrated to witness your sinister plan. There are other Masters in the palace!"We
Wei Qiufu had just stepped into the door when she cried out in alarm. Her body quickly fell backward, and Ming Yan, who was following behind her, hurriedly reached out to support her, preventing her from falling. However, Ming Yan was standing outside the threshold at this moment and was about to lift her leg to walk in. Everything happened so fast that she didn't have time to react. Thus, she fell to the side with Wei Qiufu in her arms."T-Third Elder Sister, what are you doing?" This was the only thing the people outside heard Wei Qiufu exclaiming other than the abrupt shriek. Then, they saw her fall down and press against Ming Yan's body. No one knew what was going on.However, the maids shuddered in fear when they recalled how Wei Yuejiao had lost her temper and smashed things randomly. Therefore, no one dared to approach Wei Qiufu at this moment, because whoever went to her would experience her wrath directly.See, even the always g
"F-Father..." Wei Yuejiao was so frightened by the ferocious expression on Wei Luowen's face that she stuttered."Since you don't know that you have a mother, why do you need a father?" Wei Luowen cursed."Father! I-I wasn't thinking straight. I was in too much pain that I blabbered nonsense..." Wei Yuejiao knew that the situation had turned for the worse. Seeing how furious Wei Luowen was, she was so anxious that her tears fell, and she began to cry.She was no longer arrogant. She looked pitiful, especially with her bandaged arm that was hung listlessly by her side. Although she had cleaned her face, there were still a few scratches. She looked extremely pitiful and pathetic."Your mother is Yuewu's biological mother! She is your only mother! Concubine Dong is just a lowly concubine, and she's not qualified to be your mother!" Wei Luowen was extremely disappointed. He had always been full of expectations for Wei Yuejiao. A
"Lord Marquis, Prefectural Prince Huai requests a meeting! He... He said that Eldest Young Master..." The lad servant rushed over and reported anxiously."When did this happen?" Wei Luowen's expression changed, and he hurriedly reached out his hand to stop the lad servant."Just now. It was very urgent!" When the lad servant saw the young ladies who came out with Wei Luowen, he realized that he had misspoken and quickly muttered vaguely.Wei Luowen nodded and turned to look at Wei Yuewu behind him. His expression eased a little. "Yuewu, you go back first. When your grandmother gives me the list of your mother's dowry, I'll get someone to find your mother's things and give them back to you.""Thank you, Father!" Wei Yuewu nodded and retreated to the side, looking at the lad servant thoughtfully.She had heard from Shufei about Wei Ziyang's stay at Prefectural Prince Huai Mansion. Did something happen? Judging fro
"Where is she?" Wei Yuewu asked after pondering for a moment."She's at a pavilion in the courtyard. She seems to be fidgeting with her belonging!" Wei Yuewu asked Shufei to keep an eye on that woman since she had planned to go and take a look at this moment. To her surprise, that woman would leave the courtyard first."Let's go and take a look," Wei Yuewu said indifferently.In a pavilion in the garden, Concubine Yang was staring blankly at a hairpin in her hand. She was sent here to be Second Master's concubine. Because her last name was Yang, the people in the mansion called her Concubine Yang.However, because there were too many women who were sent in at that time, they were all arranged to stay in the same courtyard. Although Concubine Yang was one of Second Master's concubines, she had only seen his figure from afar and had never had any close contact with him.Among the concubines who were sent to the ma
"Sixth Young Lady, we use that spot to make the ink," the nurse-in-charge informed."The ink?" Wei Yuewu frowned. Only then did the nurse-in-charge remember the incident related to the ink and realize that Sixth Young Lady definitely did not like to hear about it. At the thought of this, the nurse-in-charge hurriedly explained, albeit vaguely, "It's Concubine Dong's order. We can't contaminate the ingredients and food in the kitchen with the ink, so we especially use this spot for the making of the ink.""What is that over there?" Wei Yuewu raised her head slightly and pointed in a certain direction with her chin."Oh, that? It is used to brew Concubine Dong's medicine for her health," the nurse-in-charge answered with an awkward smile as she looked at a small stove not far from the ink.The nurse-in-charge felt awkward because she just said that they had to clear the spot because they didn't want to contaminate the food wit
A cold light flashed. It was actually a short sword, emitting a cold and oppressive aura!This was the short sword that represented the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang's successor, which was also the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang's family heirloom. However, at this moment, Wei Ziyang handed it back to Wei Luowen."Nonsense! Do you still remember what I taught you!" Wei Luowen was so frustrated that his face turned pale. He paced the room with his hands behind his back a few times before standing in front of Wei Ziyang and asking sharply."When an honorable man handles things, he shall judge right from wrong disregarding his own wellbeing!" Wei Ziyang lowered his head in embarrassment as he recalled the guidance Wei Luowen had given him personally in the past. He felt very ashamed and guilty at this moment. For him, Wei Luowen was more than his uncle. He was like his father, and even more.He had grown up by Wei Luowen's side since
