The handkerchief Wei Yuewu had been looking at was suddenly snatched away by a slender hand. She raised her head and subconsciously moved her eyes from the hand to Yan Huaijing's face. With a confused expression, she looked at the handkerchief in his hand.
Yan Huaijing looked at her with a faint smile, and a gentle expression appeared on his face. He asked in a low voice, "Why are you so focused on pinching the handkerchief? Is it that beautiful?"
Yan Huaijing spoke slowly and his tone sounded gentle, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.
With these words, he succeeded in causing everyone's gaze to fall on Wei Yuewu's face again.
She didn't want to be the focus of other people's attention or to be used as a shield. Nor was she willing to become the key for him to break the dilemma, in which case she would attract the attention of powerful figures like the Crown Prince.
Wei Yuewu almost couldn't sup
"Yes, just dye it this way. I'll ask Huamo to fetch the dress early in the morning the day after tomorrow. However, if someone else vies to have the dress that day, you can sell it to them too." Wei Yuewu blinked her long eyelids. She stood up and uttered those words meaningfully with a smile."Then do you want the dress to be smaller, Mistress Cousin?" The shopkeeper looked at Wei Yuewu and asked.The dress obviously didn't fit Wei Yuewu. Ready-to-wear dresses often fit the general body shape. As Wei Yuewu hadn't grown up yet, her figure was a bit smaller for the dress, and the lower hem would even be on the ground when she wore the dress..."No need for that. It's fine to me." Wei Yuewu shook her hand.The shopkeeper was really puzzled about Wei Yuewu's intentions. However, observing that Wei Yuewu acted like an adult despite of her young age, he somehow agreed. He immediately asked a worker to dye the dress and finish the job th
The carriage drove straight into the mansion of the Prince of Nan'an and stopped at the parking area in the backyard. Most of the carriages rode by female guests were driven here directly from the entrance of the mansion.Outside the mansion, the carriages ridden by male guests stopped at the main entrance and were driven through the side door after passengers dismounted.The guests from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang followed the steps of a large group of aristocratic young ladies as soon as they got off their carriages. There were quite a number of guests today. Since the Prince of Nan'an was the Emperor's own brother and had the Emperor's trust, it was natural for the prince to enjoy such an honor. Almost all great aristocratic families in the capital came to the banquet.In a short moment, a swarm of beautiful figures came near a festoon gate at the back garden and sweet voices could be heard, presenting an attractive scene! Yet no one not
Wei Yan covered her lips with her handkerchief and her face was filled with shock. It seemed she had just discovered something wrong with Wei Yuewu's new dress. She scolded Wei Yuewu, "Oh my goodness, Sixth Younger Sister, why are you wearing the same dress as the Fourth Princess? Didn't I tell you not to pick dresses like this one? You... you're really going too far."In fact, their dresses only looked similar at first glance. However, Wei Yan had already formed a preconceived judgment about the resemblance. Moreover, she had only taken a brief glance beside Lady Li at the dress intended for Wei Yuewu. Therefore, she did not notice that there was actually a big difference between the dresses worn by the princess and Wei Yuewu.Wei Yuewu also appeared shocked. She looked at the Fourth Princess's dress and then at hers and asked diffidently, "Are you sure the two dresses are the same?""Of course they're the same. How can they differ from each o
Hearing an accident had happened in the back garden, the Princess of Nan'an couldn't keep sitting there anymore. She immediately went to the garden with some servants. As soon as Wei Fengyao steadied herself, she fiercely glared at the maid, who was standing on her side trembling all over.Under her mistress's glare, the maid became so frightened that she didn't even dare to raise her head. She had never expected that things would turn out so differently. Who would have thought that the person who fell into water in the end was not the Sixth Miss Wei, the intended victim of the plot, but the Second Miss Wei, the conspirator? And most importantly, what happened to the Second Miss Wei's dress?This… this was completely different from the original plan of her mistress!"Third Lady, what's wrong with the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang? It's fine that her dress is the same as my favorite dress I'm wearing. But why did she add extra dye to her copy to m
Wei Yan never expected that the weak-looking Wei Yuewu would beat her. She covered her face with her hand and stared at Wei Yuewu with wide eyes filled with disbelief."Wei Yan, don't treat everyone as fools," said Wei Yuewu. Her clear eyes emitted intense hostility that seemed to pierce through people's hearts. "What is going on between you and Mo Huating has nothing to do with me, but Qin Ruo died because of you shameless couple.”Wei Yan was inexplicably speechless under such a fierce gaze. She didn't regain her senses until Wei Yuewu reached the door with Jin Ling, and she shouted instantly, "Wei Yuewu, how dared you slap me. When I go back home, I will tell grandmother that my face was beaten swollen by you."Wei Yuewu stopped and turned around. She raised her eyebrows and said, "If I remember correctly, all the guests saw the Fourth Princess slap you twice. Now you are trying to frame me up. I wonder if grandmother will believe you, or wi
Wei Yuewu didn't dare to move an inch. She complained in her heart, wondering if she was discovered. She really did not want to be involved with this heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State because that would be the same as asking for hatred from other girls toward her. Judging from the situation on that day, it was clear that he was using her as a shield.Well, she had no other choice except accepting this unpleasant fact of being used as a shield by him that day.However, he couldn't just keep using her as a shield endlessly. That would put her life at risk.Therefore, Wei Yuewu made up her mind to cope with changes by maintaining the status quo.Who knew who this heir-apparent was talking to? His guards might be near him. Perhaps his words were directed to his guards and he didn't discover her here…Suddenly, there was a light sound from beside Wei Yuewu. When she regained her senses, she saw that handsome figure app
Wei Yan's face was pale now and she looked at people with a blank expression. Lying in bed in disheveled clothes and then being seen by so many men, her reputation was apparently ruined. Moreover, at that time, when she looked at Mo Huating in the clamour of voices, he even avoided eye contact with her.This almost drove Wei Yan into despair.After Wei Qiufu and Wei Qiuju left, Lady Zhang took Wei Yan and Wei Yuewu to the Madam Dowager's courtyard and reported what had happened. The Madam Dowager was so exasperated that she trembled violently and her face turned ashen. She smashed the teacup in her hand to Wei Yan's feet and scolded hatefully, "You wretched girl! Kneel down! Tell me what exactly happened?""Grandmother, it was not me but her. She set me up. That dress, that dress is also hers." Wei Yan was woken up by the smashing of the teacup. She dropped on her knees in front of the Madam Dowager and pointed at Wei Yuewu, shedding tears unco
If Wei Yuewu guessed right, the Madam Dowager still believed that with the background of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang and the status of Wei Yan's father as the Minister of Rites, even if Wei Yan's reputation was ruined, Mo Huating would readily agree to marry Wei Yan if the Madam Dowager consented.However, if Mo Huating was willing to shoulder responsibility for today's situation, he would have stepped out instead of letting the case escalate into a wide-spread scandal in the capital."If you are free the next few days, go out and buy some more jewelry for yourself. You are the first daughter of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, and you have a higher status than other young ladies. You will be attending a banquet in the palace next. You can't be too austere. I have told the servants in the sewing room to make several new dresses for you."The Madam Dowager looked at Wei Yuewu with a kind expression that was completely different from the indi
