Chapter 148 – Proof Of Sincerity, Wei Yuejiao’S Letter
“Sixth Younger Sister, with your talent and character, you would definitely not fall for an Imperial Academician who had only talent. This is Fourth Elder Sister’s fault. My apology to you. Sixth Younger Sister, whatever you want, I would help you. As sisters, if we are united in our hearts, we can achieve any goal and have the world in our hand.”
Wei Qiufu smiled and looked at Wei Yuewu sincerely as she uttered those words. She even directly mentioned what happened that day concerning Xie Qingzhao.
Wei Yuewu stopped and turned her head to glance at her. Suddenly, she smiled and said, “Fourth Elder Sister, you are really tolerant!”
All of a sudden, she swung the plum branch in her hand towards Wei Qiufu’s face.
Wei Qiufu did not expect Wei Yuewu to strike directly. She was so frightened that she retreated quickly, bumping her head heavily onto a tree fork behind her. She hugged her head in pain and squatted down with a scream.
As a result, her dark hair was hooked by the branch. Because she squatted too quickly, a strand of her hair was immediately torn off.
Ming Yan hurriedly rushed up from behind. She helped Wei Qiufu stand firm and tried to untie her hair that was hooked by the branch. “Miss, how are you?”
Fortunately, except for the strand of hair that was torn off, the other strands were untied by Ming Yan without much effort.
Wei Yuewu put the plum branch under her nose and sniffed. She slightly rolled her watery eyes and quietly looked at Wei Qiufu, who was both angry and hurt with a green face. After a while, she said leisurely, “The plum blossoms here are extremely beautiful. If you like them, you can pick one by yourself. Why do you have to grab this branch from my hand? Fourth Elder Sister, if you really like plum blossoms, after you enter the Crown Prince’s Mansion, you can order people to plant a large area of plum trees. By then, don’t forget to invite me to admire the plum blossoms!”
Upon hearing Wei Yuewu’s words, Wei Qiufu, who had both anger and hatred in her heart, froze on the spot. She bit her lips fiercely and then raised her head. She smiled sweetly and said, “Sixth Younger Sister is right. The plum blossoms here are excellent. I really like them!”
After saying those words, she simply ignored her messy hair. She turned her head and reached out her hand to break a branch of plum blossoms.
Ming Yan looked at Wei Qiufu in astonishment, as if she had seen a ghost. The Fourth Young Lady used to put on a dignified and elegant look in front of others. But now, she paid no attention to her own image at all. She was truly crazy!
Wei Qiufu hatefully snapped the plum blossoms off the branch. Because a strand of hair was torn off her head, she trembled with pain. However, she had no choice but to echo Wei Yuewu’s words instead of talking back.
Wei Yuewu’s intention was very obvious. She had clearly asked to vent her anger before agreeing to help Wei Qiufu enter the Crown Prince’s Mansion, or in other words, not to make it difficult for her to enter the Crown Prince’s Mansion.
Under Ming Yan’s stunned gaze, Wei Qiufu was extremely embarrassed and indignant, feeling extremely humiliated. A trace of hatred flashed through her eyes!
Jin Ling, however, laughed out loud. She looked at Wei Qiufu who was in a sorry state and had disheveled hair, saying mockingly, “You really deserved it!”
“It seems that Fourth Elder Sister is willing to cooperate. That’s good. However, this doesn’t seem to be enough. I heard that Fourth Elder Sister has a close relationship with Third Elder Sister. If there is news about Third Elder Sister, I hope Fourth Elder Sister will spare no effort to keep me informed!”
After Wei Yuewu finished speaking, she smiled faintly. Then, without even watching Wei Qiufu’s expression, she left with Jing Ling.
Wei Qiufu looked at Wei Yuewu’s back with a cold gaze. She grabbed the plum branch in her hand and snapped it in half. The rough end of the branch stabbed into her injured fingers, but she did not feel it at all, and her entire face was twisted.
“Miss…” Ming Yan called her timidly.
“Didn’t you see my hand hurt? Why don’t you bandage it for me? Don’t tell me you want to have a good laugh at me!” Wei Qiufu turned her head and fiercely glared at Ming Yan.
In the past, she would only behave like this when she lost control of herself due to anger. But now, she really couldn’t control herself.
“Yes… I will immediately…” Seeing Wei Qiufu’s livid and twisted face, Ming Yan was so scared that she hurriedly lowered her head and took out her handkerchief to wrap up the wound in Wei Qiufu’s hand.
However, before she could finish her sentence, she was slapped fiercely twice in the face.
Wei Qiufu felt relieved when she saw Ming Yan’s face swollen with two palm prints. She looked at the lights not far away before she came to her senses and said hatefully, “Let’s go!”
This place was not far from the banquet hall. If anyone saw her and gossiped, it would be bad for her reputation. She must enter the Crown Prince’s Mansion!
Looking at the blood-stained strand of hair that was pulled off her head, Wei Qiufu gritted her teeth and cursed Wei Yuewu a hundred times in her heart. However, she knew that it was not appropriate for her to confront Wei Yuewu now. The selection of Crown Princess and concubines for the Crown Prince was under way. If she caused any trouble at this critical moment, she would probably never be able to become the Crown Princess in her lifetime.
Wei Yuewu wanted information about Wei Yuejiao? Well, this matter suddenly reminded Wei Qiufu. Once Wei Yuejiao was back, Wei Yuewu’s good time would come to an end in a few days. If she remembered correctly, this Third Miss Wei was raised as a first daughter. Everyone in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang knew the Third Young Lady was the real daughter of Eldest Uncle, and they never cared about whether she was born by a concubine or not…
Didn’t Wei Yuewu feel that her sincerity wasn’t enough? Alright, she would give her a big gift!
“Is the letter from the Third Young Lady still here?” By now, Wei Qiufu had calmed down. She suddenly stopped and asked Ming Yan.
“Yes, I’ve kept it in a safe place!” Ming Yan said timidly.
“Send the latest letter from Third Elder Sister to Sixth Young Lady later on!” Wei Qiufu hooked up a strand of her hair that was hanging down and placed it beside her ear as she said coldly.
“Yes, I will send it over in a moment.” Ming Yan was just beaten, so she didn’t dare to ask any more question. She lowered her head and replied.
After the two of them returned to the courtyard, Jin Ling helped Wei Yuewu go to bed. Her body hadn’t fully recovered yet, so it was not appropriate for her to walk and move too much. It was actually the right moment for her to be back.
After tidying up Wei Yuewu’s room, Jin Ling went out and vividly told Shufei and Huamo about what had just happened. The three maids all felt relieved that Fourth Young Lady who had always been sinister fell into such a disgrace.
While the three of them were chatting and laughing, a knock suddenly came from outside the courtyard. Shufei walked out, and soon, she came in with a letter in her hand.
“Miss, Fourth Young Lady asked Ming Yan to bring you a letter. She said that it was written to her by the Third Young Lady.”
“Bring it here, let me have a look!” Wei Yuewu put down the book she was reading and stretched out her hand. A deep thought flashed through her eyes. Wei Qiufu’s reaction was really quick. She had just mentioned Wei Yuejiao a moment ago, and she immediately sent her a letter from Wei Yuejiao. If she hadn’t prepared the letter beforehand, it meant that the two of them kept up a frequent correspondence.
Otherwise, Wei Qiufu wouldn’t be able to get Wei Yuejiao’s letter so quickly.
Wei Yuewu had always been very curious about this concubine-born elder sister. What kind of hint was it that made this Third Miss Wei think she was the most distinguished young lady of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang and the only daughter of Marquis Hua Yang?
When she was in the mansion, she had heard a lot of servants mentioning how much this Third Miss Wei was respected. She had even learnt that Wei Yuejiao and Wei Yan had several confrontations, and each time Wei Yan had no choice but to give in. Moreover, even the Madam Dowager was on Wei Yuejiao’s side.
But no matter what, with Concubine Dong as her biological mother, Wei Yuejiao was able to act recklessly and feared nobody in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. From whichever perspective, she could tell that this Third Young Lady was not easy to deal with.
Besides, regarding the embroidered screen that Mother left behind, was it really just the Madam Dowager’s idea?
The letter wasn’t thick. Wei Yuejiao used a normal title to address Wei Qiufu. But when she mentioned Wei Yuewu’s mother, the late Marquise Hua Yang, she actually used “that woman”. This showed how much Wei Yuejiao despised Marquise Hua Yang. In addition, when Wei Yuejiao mentioned Wei Yuewu, she used the phrase “that ugly girl born by that woman!” Wei Yuewu’s expression became even colder.
Looked like many people believed she was really bad-looking.
Sure enough, Concubine Dong and Wei Yuejiao weren’t easy to deal with!
She pressed the letter heavily on the table, and a cold light flashed through her eyes. She had long guessed that Concubine Dong and Wei Yuejiao had no good intentions towards her and her mother.
It was really a joke to see a concubine-born daughter who not only refused to address the matriarch of the mansion respectfully as “mother”, but also used that kind of wording!
“Miss, what’s wrong?” Seeing Wei Yuewu’s cold expression, the maids immediately stopped chatting and laughing. Shufei looked at the letter in Wei Yuewu’s hand and carefully asked, “Did the Third Young Lady say something that made you angry?”
“She didn’t make me angry, but I’ll definitely make her angry!” Wei Yuewu’s faint lips curled into a sneer. Since that was the case, she would deal with Wei Yuejiao by starting with that embroidered screen…
Now, she could ask Wei Qiufu to provide her information about Wei Yuejiao and obtain clues related to Concubine Dong from Madam Li. She did not believe that there was no evidence to prove that they had ganged up to conspire against her mother. Besides, wasn’t Doctor Ming also there as a witness?
“Miss, what about Fourth Young Lady?” Seeing Wei Yuewu’s expression gradually returning to normal, Huamo reminded her.
“Since Fourth Elder Sister is willing to enter the Crown Prince’s Mansion and has shown such sincerity, I surely have to help her!” Wei Yuewu took a deep breath to calm down and said coldly.
“Miss, did you forget what kind of a person Fourth Young Lady is? If she entered the Crown Prince’s Mansion, she would definitely bite you in return for your help!” Huamo said anxiously.
“It’s alright. She will have to become at least a concubine before she is able to deal with me!” Wei Yuewu gently shook her head. Her snow-white fingers slid past her temples as she said indifferently.
Since Wei Qiufu was so obsessed with entering the Crown Prince’s Mansion, and her ambitions were not small, then she would let her in.
She would like to see what Wei Qiufu wanted to do!
Moreover, Wei Qiufu was really not simple. If she really spoiled Wei Qiufu’s effort to enter the Crown Prince’s Mansion and made her desperate, Wei Qiufu might vent all her anger on Wei Yuewu. That was why she didn’t take away all Wei Qiufu’s hopes when talking to her. Besides, Wen Tianyao only expressed his dislike of Wei Qiufu, but he didn’t throw Wei Qiufu’s lot away.
Actually, this represented an opportunity. If she could understand it, Wei Qiufu could understand it as well! Therefore, Wei Qiufu didn’t want to be disturbed by Wei Yuewu. That was why she sent Wei Yuejiao’s letter to Wei Yuewu, hoping to distract her attention.
However, this was just a part of her original plan!
“Miss, what should we do now?” Hearing Wei Yuewu’s words, Jin Ling was stunned and asked.
“There’s no need to do anything. We just wait!” Wei Yuewu’s eyes flashed with a smile. She wouldn’t interfere in Wei Qiufu’s affairs for the time being. She just needed to wait quietly. Moreover, by now, the Yang Mansion must be too anxious to wait any longer!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and the sound was especially loud. The maids looked at each other and Jin Ling turned around and left the room. Not long after, she brought in a eunuch. Seeing this eunuch, Wei Yuewu’s eyes flashed with surprise. She looked at the person in front of her in shock.
She was wondering why this person came to see her at this time…
