Inside the gauze curtain, Wei Yuewu's small face looked somewhat unhealthily yellow and also faintly pale. Doctor Ming knew at first glance that she was in a bad state. However, what shocked him the most was that the face in front of his eyes looked so similar to that person's face, with which he was so familiar that he could tell who the patient was without a second thought.
At first glance, the same look of sickness and the same paleness and haggardness made him feel as if he had traveled through time to the past.
Once, that drop-dead gorgeous lady had lain there on her deathbed, looking pitifully at a little girl beside the bed. The yellowish color on Wei Yuewu's face resembled the sick face in his memory so much...
"Doctor Ming, what's the matter?" asked Huamo in surprise as she looked at Doctor Ming who had plunged into panic. Although her mistress appeared very ill due to the makeup, how came a doctor got frightened by the weak face of a
The crowd saw Doctor Ming Junior blushing in embarrassment and having difficulty finding words to justify himself.Everyone became suspicious in their hearts. Could it be true?Doctor Ming Junior could be said to be handsome, and the Second Young Lady fell ill now and then, and the young doctor always accompanied Doctor Ming to the mansion. Could it be that there really were some secrets between them?Regarding such things, the more people thought about them, the more suspicious people became!It was a common phenomenon that bad news spread far and wide while good deeds remained unknown outside the door. Not to mention there was the Madam Dowager in the mansion. Before Doctor Ming Junior left the festoon gate, rumor had reached the Madam Dowager's ears.There were servants from all the courtyards on the spot.The Madam Dowager instructed all servants to keep their mouth shut about the rumor. Anyone who dis
"Miss, I saw the Fourth Young Lady going to the Fifth Young Lady's place. It's late now, and the Second Young Lady is in such a chaotic situation. Why would the Fourth Young Lady have the mood to go to the Fifth Young Lady's?" Shufei had been out on errand and happened to see Wei Qiufu going to Wei Qiuju's courtyard with her maid."Fourth Elder Sister went to see Fifth Elder Sister instead of Second Elder Sister?" Wei Yuewu blinked her eyes and asked softly. Among the three sisters in the mansion, the Fourth Young Lady Wei Qiufu was the most enigmatic. Shouldn't the Fourth Young Lady, who always appeared gentle in front of people, go to see Wei Yan who was now in trouble?"I saw with my own eyes that she went to see the Fifth Young Lady. She arrived at the gate of the Fifth Young Lady's courtyard at the time." Shufei said with certainty after thinking for a while.What urgent matter did Wei Qiufu have so that she must meet Wei Qiuju at this tim
"Wei Qiuju, is this what you called "a good idea' that you worked out for me?" As soon as Wei Yuewu left, Wei Yan changed her expression, raising her chin arrogantly and snorting coldly. She really looked down upon Wei Qiuju, a concubine's daughter. If the latter hadn't come to her last night telling her the matter of the banquet, which was exactly what she had been looking forward to, she wouldn't have paid attention to her.Wei Qiuju was nothing but a parrot that followed behind Wei Qiufu.Everybody knew that Wei Qiuju only echoed everything Wei Qiufu said. Hardly had Wei Qiufu left when Wei Qiuju came to curry favor with her, which was actually not a bad thing. She would let Wei Qiufu see who the truly noblest young lady was in the mansion. Wei Qiufu, who always assumed an air of purity, was really nothing in front of her."Second Elder Sister, don't you not think this is a great idea? Everybody knows that you are the most respected young la
"Well, enough of the bickering. Sixth Younger Sister, come here. Let me introduce those young ladies to you." Wei Yan had a bright smile on her face, and she even came over to pull Wei Yuewu's sleeve, as if she didn't have any grudges against her.Her affectionate behavior made people think that the Wei sisters were actually on very good terms.Wei Yuewu didn't expect that the irascible Wei Yan was so good at acting in front of people. She sneered in her heart: no wonder Wei Yan had a good reputation—partly because Lady Li had helped her and partly due to her own excellent performance in front of people."Sixth Younger Sister, let's go together. It's such a good opportunity to know so many young ladies. Strangers at the first meeting, friends at the second. These young ladies misunderstood you because they heard those rumors about you." Wei Qiuju was still beside Wei Yuewu holding her arm.The current situation was that Wei Yuewu's
"Ye... yes?" Nurse Mei subconsciously replied as she was intimidated by Wei Yuewu's impressive coldness. Her answer was actually true. She had sent someone to the Madam Dowager as soon as the accident occurred. At this time, the Madam Dowager should be on her way here.In fact, what happened was very simple. Everyone could see that this man in front of them had nothing to do with the Sixth Miss Wei. It was obvious that someone had deliberately set up the Sixth Miss Wei. Looking at the Fifth Miss Wei who was tightly held by the man, all the guests felt that the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang indeed was going through a turbulent time.Shortly ago the Second Miss Wei fell into trouble, and now the Fifth Miss Wei encountered an accident."Bring this man down and rescue the Fifth Young Lady. He is an evil man. Ask grandmother to punish him severely. If she can't deal with him, just send him to the local authorities!" Wei Yuewu instructed indifferently.
Nurse Mei stood at the side, looking panicked from the very beginning. She had been following Wei Yuewu all that time. Although she was a little far away from Wei Yuewu later, she had rushed to her immediately after the accident occurred. She witnessed how Wei Yuewu tricked that ruffian and even heard those soft and gentle words of hers.Yet it was precisely because of those words that the Second Young Lady blurted out her underhand move and almost admitted that she had a hand in the accident.It was to Nurse Mei's great surprise that such a thirteen-year-old little girl could make the Second Young Lady lose her composure to let the cat out of the bag in that situation. Furthermore, Wei Yuewu even managed to control the situation and reveal nearly all the truth before the Madam Dowager arrived. Was this young lady in front of her really only thirteen years old? Was she really an ignorant girl who just came back from the countryside?Nurse Mei h
Nurse Mei used to be the Madam Dowager's confidant, but after today's incident, she was conscious that she would no longer be trusted by the Madam Dowager. Therefore, Wei Yuewu was the only person she could cling to now.Wei Yuewu took the tea handed over by Shufei and took a sip of it gracefully. She raised her head and asked softly, "Nurse Mei, you’re grandmother's confidant, right?""Yes, I am. Her Ladyship asked me to report everything that happened here to her." Nurse Mei kowtowed to Wei Yuewu and uttered those words honestly without the slightest hesitation.Actually, they were already well aware of this fact. However, when it came from Nurse Mei's mouth, it carried significant implication—Nurse Mei's allegiance to Wei Yuewu."Nurse Mei, aren't you afraid that grandmother will get angry with you? I heard that no one in this mansion dares to disobey the Second Lady and Second Young Lady." Wei Yuewu looked coolly at Nurse Mei w
Layers of curtains were raised high in a tall building,Inside the curtains was the extremely handsome Yan Huaijing, who was dressed in a snow-white fur cloak. He leisurely sat on a couch, reaching out languidly to take a pile of pictures from a table and casually flipping it through. Then, he said without lifting his head, "These young ladies from famous families in the capital are indeed charming. They are much more beautiful than those in the Yan State.""Yes." The eunuch who had brought the scrolls over didn't dare to say anything more but only answered so with his head down."Is that all?" Yan Huaijing flipped through the scrolls in his hand. The corners of his handsome lips curled up, showing some dissatisfaction, but his tone was still warm and gentle.The eunuch trembled in fright. He had taken two beautiful palace maids with him here. No doubt, the maids were sent to the heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State as a gift. Wh
