Wei Yuewu did not expect that not only did this former Bangyan meet her again and again, but he even lived in her family's mansion. Now, he actually had something to do with her marriage. Well, it seemed that there were really some deep bindings between them!
"When did he move in?" Wei Yuewu's face revealed a look of confusion, as if she really didn't know anything.
"He came here a little earlier than you to pay his respects to Grandmother. Then he went down to have a rest. Sixth Younger Sister, do you want to take a look at him? When he was parading on horseback, many young ladies dropped their handkerchiefs one after another. It was said that it had been so many years since people saw such a handsome top-3-ranking candidate of the Imperial Examination. Even the most indifferent Fourth Elder Sister couldn't help but go to the event to watch him." Wei Qiuju's face was filled with yearning. Who wouldn't want to marry such a man that had not only a handsome a
Jin Ling nodded and walked over. She followed him into the room and saw Xie Qingzhao sitting there."Where's your mistress' letter?" As soon as the maid entered, Xie Qingzhao asked her anxiously without a second thought about the strange face of hers."Young Master Xie, here it is. Please write back to my mistress when you finish reading." Jin Ling said as she generously handed the letter over."No problem!" Xie Qingzhao's attention was entirely focused on the letter. He reached out and received it in person. Thinking that the young lady had never written a letter to him, he was extremely excited.He had long known that she was very talented. He had always wanted to receive a letter written by her. Although what had happened today made him very frustrated, the letter exhilarated him immediately.The handwriting on the letter did not seem to be outstanding; it looked rather ordinary. However, due to the caring feelings
Wei Qiuju was uncertain with her suggestion at first, but later, she suddenly came to realize that if Wei Yuewu and Imperial Academician Xie were found not only together in a secret meeting, but also in disheveled clothes, the effect would be even better.Therefore, she ignored the pain in her foot and came to help Shufei support Wei Yuewu."Won't it… be improper, Fifth Elder Sister? We're both injured. You can go back first." Wei Yuewu stood up under the help of the two of them and shook her head, as if she didn't want more business here. Her long eyelashes fluttered, as if she was looking down at her injury. A trace of coldness flashed across her clear eyes.She had thoroughly investigated this courtyard and learnt that Jin Ling had not only sent the letter, but also checked the layout of Xie Qingzhao's yard.This guest courtyard was coincidentally not far from the festoon gate.More coincidentally, there was actuall
Yueya panicked. She had come out stealthily to take a look. She must not let anyone discover that her mistress was also in this courtyard when something happened.They could also sneak out when there were many people here. However, if she was found out now, her mistress wouldn't be able to sneak out later on.Such was what Yueya was thinking about. She subconsciously fell back, wanting to dodge to the side.Before she could take several steps away, she was grabbed by Shufei. "Yueya, what are you running for? I'm asking you where your mistress is. Your mistress left my mistress in the middle chamber. Where is she? What are you doing here sneaking around and hiding? Is anything wrong?"Shufei had uttered her words in a rather high voice. She even vaguely expressed her concern for Wei Qiuju and stated clearly why Wei Yuewu was here.Shufei's shouts made Yueya really panicked. She was anxious to break free from Shufei's ha
Xie Qingzhao seemed to be speechless. He looked ashamed, angry and indignant. He stomped his foot hatefully. Just as he was about to say "The Sixth Young Lady of your mansion… is way too ill-bred," he saw Wei Yuewu walking to the Madam Dowager. His eyes widened in shock.Wasn't that…the Sixth Young Lady of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang?He subconsciously turned around. If the Sixth Young Lady was here, who was in the room? What he had heard was clearly a female voice.Nanny Hong walked out and whispered in the Madam Dowager's ear. The Madam Dowager nodded and her eyes darkened a little. She was angry: so this was indeed a low petty daughter of a concubine; what a stupid thing she had done! What was more, she even offended this promising Imperial Academician Xie!However, it would also be a good thing if Imperial Academician Xie could accept the result. After all, it was only a concubine's daughter, the most insignificant young la
When Wei Qiuju went outside of the room, Nanny Hong was just back after seeing Wei Yuewu off. When she saw Wei Qiuju, she said indifferently, "Fifth Young Lady, I think you've heard that Imperial Academician Xie said that he would accept you. Please stay out of trouble and don't bring about such a thing again. Otherwise, the Madam Dowager will not spare you."Without waiting for Wei Qiuju to say anything, Nanny Hong left with two old maidservants, leaving behind the numb Wei Qiuju and her timid maid Yueya standing there alone."Mother, what happened? Why didn't that bitch fall into your trap?" Wei Yan went so far as to smash the Buddha statue placed in front of the Buddha in the temple. Shuiyue was kicked by her and collapsed on the ground with her arms around her stomach. The maid didn't dare to move a bit for fear that Wei Yan would punch and kick her again."My fault. I was careless. Yan'er, don't worry. I won't let her get the upper hand ne
Wei Yuewu tapped her fingers on the table and gave the instruction in an orderly manner."Yes, miss, I will send your message tomorrow morning, but Second Lady…" Nurse Mei hesitated for a moment before asking."Concubine Huang is kind of a mistress in the mansion, isn't she? She should be counted in the routine pulse check, right?" Wei Yuewu asked with a smile."This… yes. Second Master kind of dotes on Concubine Huang, so Doctor Ming will come and check her pulse every month." Nurse Mei thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively.Actually, this was partly because Second Master favoured Concubine Huang, and perhaps partly because Second Master held expectations of Concubine Huang. Compared to Third Master, Second Master had far fewer sons.Concubine Huang was different than other concubines. She was not only pretty but also young. It was possible for her to have children. Therefore she wouldn't be left out in the pu
Seeing someone coming, Concubine Huang dodged to the side right away."Doctor, thank you. Doctor, thank you for your prescription. If it weren't for you, what was originally a minor illness would escalate into a serious one." The speaker was Shufei. She was holding a prescription in her hand and expressing her gratitude to a doctor-like person in an extremely respectful manner."Your mistress' illness is neither serious nor minor, but it's not difficult to treat either. As long as she takes the right medicine, it won't be difficult to get rid of it." The doctor stroked his beard, which made him look like an experienced expert."Although it's a minor illness, it will become serious if it doesn't get treated in time. And it might even affect our mistress' fertility. Fortunately, you've discovered the problem, otherwise, our mistress will end up in a miserable condition. That Doctor Ming of our mansion insisted that our mistress was not ill at all
Her beautiful face immediately outshined the young ladies around her, and her pair of expressive eyes were filled with gentleness.Regardless of her identity, the aura around her spoke enough of what elegance was. When she raised her head or turned her eyes, she gave off a strong sense of tenderness and magnanimity. From whichever aspect, that was enough for her to make people relax and make friends with her.Wei Yuewu's eyes landed on that slightly familiar face. It wasn't that she had an excellent memory, but that it was really hard for people to forget such a beauty once they had seen her. Moreover, Wei Yuewu had seen her more than once, and on such special occasions. It wasn't easy for Wei Yuewu to forget her.However, the current situation was completely different from the last time. For a moment, Wei Yuewu was unable to piece together the memories of their meetings.Nevertheless, even though Wei Yuewu had seen her before, she
