Chapter 253 – Have You Seen Sixth Young Lady Before?
The man who wanted to sneak away by following the crowd downstairs was dragged over by several old maidservants.
A person who looked like the nurse-in-charge walked out and identified the man. Then, she reported to Jing Wenyan, “Eldest Young Lady, this person doesn’t belong to our mansion.”
He was actually not a servant of the mansion of Duke of Jing! At this time, Wen Ruoming also realized something unusual and he immediately asked angrily, “Who are you?”
“I… I…” The man thought that he had passed the test, but unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed downstairs. For a moment, he did not know how to explain.
“Did you sneak into the mansion of Duke of Jing to have a private meeting with someone?” Wei Fengyao said angrily, but she was actually hinting at something with these words.
Of course, this person was found by her people. He was a distant relative of her wet nurse. His name was Zhang Yuan. Originally, she just wanted to find a young man to force Wei Yuewu into the inner room. If he failed to do so, he should directly knock Wei Yuewu out and throw her into the inner room.
Since Wei Fengyao had made up her mind to do so, she must find someone she trusted. Thus, her wet nurse recommended Zhang Yuan. The wet nurse made arrangements for him to follow Prince Nan’an Mansion’s people into the mansion of Duke of Jing. The Heiress-apparent of the Duke of Jing got a set of servant’s clothes for him and brought him here.
“Yes… It was a young lady who invited me here.” Hearing Wei Fengyao’s hint, Zhang Yuan hurriedly nodded.
“Which lady are you looking for?” Wei Fengyao continued to hint at him.
“Which lady was I looking for?” Zhang Yuan thought about the question secretly. Well, he had been told to come here today and send this Sixth Miss Wei onto the bed of the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an in front of him.
“I… I came because I was invited by Sixth Miss Wei.” Zhang Yuan learned to read and write for a few years, so he naturally had some tricks up his sleeves. At this moment, he immediately thought that if he said that he had an affair with Sixth Miss Wei, he would definitely be able to please this Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an.
Although his aunt didn’t say who sent him here, he knew that his aunt’s mistress was now the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an and she used to be the Eldest Young Lady of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang before getting married!
Just now, he secretly followed behind the group downstairs and heard the maids and old maidservants saying that the two in the front were the Heir-apparent and Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an. Now that the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an repeatedly gave him hints, it must be because of this reason.
Otherwise, who would help him?
Sure enough, the play had started. Wei Yuewu sneered in her heart and asked with a smile, “Sixth Miss Wei invited you over?”
When Zhang Yuan heard this soft and melodious voice, he could not help but look up. He immediately felt as if his soul had been lost.
These two young ladies were both extremely beautiful. The older one looked charming and her every frown and smile could hold people in a spell. The younger one, although not yet fully grown up, already had a peerlessly beautiful appearance not inferior to that of the taller beauty. Once she was truly mature, she would probably be able to cause the downfall of cities and countries with her charm. For a moment, Zhang Yuan could not help but be stunned!
“Are you here to look for Sixth Miss Wei?” Wei Yuewu frowned in disgust and asked again.
“Sixth Younger Sister, aren’t you…” Wei Fengyao wanted to remind Zhang Yuan, but Wei Yuewu rudely interrupted her. “Eldest Sister, what do you mean? Are you trying to hint at something?”
Wei Yuewu’s facial features were extremely exquisite. However, at this moment, she was looking at Wei Fengyao with a cold face. She had such a threatening aura that Wei Fengyao couldn’t even speak for a moment. She glared at Zhang Yuan, hoping that he would hear her hint.
However, Zhang Yuan’s attention was completely focused on Wei Yuewu’s face. How could he hear what Wei Fengyao said?
Wei Yuewu glanced sideways at Jin Ling, who immediately understood her meaning. Jin Ling walked over and heavily slapped Zhang Yuan twice in the face. “How dare you! Where are your eyes looking? How dare you peep at our young lady? Now tell us which mansion does this Sixth Miss Wei you wanted to see come from? Have you seen her before?”
Jin Ling’s heavy slaps immediately woke Zhang Yuan up, and his face immediately swelled up. Seeing everyone staring at him coldly, he immediately realized the dangerous situation and said anxiously, “Young ladies, I am really in love with the Sixth Young Lady of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. You should know Sixth Miss Wei, right?”
“Have you seen her before?” Wei Yuewu stared at him coldly, her expression even more severe.
“Of course I have. Although Sixth Miss Wei is not as beautiful as you two young ladies, she has been in love with me for a long time. But recently, Marquis Hua Yang came back. It is inconvenient for us to meet in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, so we thought of the mansion of Duke of Jing.” Zhang Yuan thought that he had made a smart reply. Well, didn’t people say that Sixth Miss Wei was untalented and plain-looking?
In addition, this time, the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an had wanted him to send that young lady onto the bed of her husband, the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an. It was probably because this Sixth Miss Wei was not plain-looking. Otherwise, which woman would be willing to find another beautiful woman for her husband?
Therefore, Zhang Yuan believed that neither of the two young ladies in front of him would be that Sixth Miss Wei. He believed that if Sixth Miss Wei really appeared later, the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an would definitely give him a hint.
He didn’t expect Wei Fengyao had given him a hint. However, at that time, he was entranced by the two beauties and ignored Wei Fengyao’s message.
As soon as Zhang Yuan uttered those words, Wei Fengyao felt that it was not going well. The handkerchief in her hand was crumpled by her into a ball and she repeatedly glared at Zhang Yuan to remind him. However, this Zhang Yuan only noticed Wei Yuewu and Jing Wenyan at this time. He did not understand Wei Fengyao’s hint at all and was secretly happy for his smart reply.
“Are you sure you saw Sixth Miss Wei?” Wei Yuewu sneered and asked again.
In order to increase the credibility of his words, Zhang Yuan turned to Wei Fengyao. He pointed at her and said, “Of course. Sixth Miss Wei looks a bit similar to Her Heiress-apparent. This madam in front of me should be the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an, right?”
Did Wei Yuewu and Wei Fengyao look alike?
Wen Ruoming and Jing Wenyan couldn’t help but look at the two of them. Wei Fengyao was originally a beauty, but now that her face was scratched, there was not the slightest trace of beauty on her pale face. As she stood together with the beautiful Wei Yuewu, there wasn’t any resemblance between them at all.
It was impossible to find any similarity on their faces.
“Sixth Miss Wei and Her Heiress-apparent look alike?” Wen Ruoming asked coldly.
“Yes. Otherwise, how would I have recognized Her Heiress-apparent?” Zhang Yuan still didn’t realize what was wrong with his answer.
“Are you saying you figured out that this madam in front of you is Her Heiress-apparent based on Sixth Miss Wei’s appearance?” Jing Wenyan once again looked at Wei Fengyao and Wei Yuewu suspiciously. There really wasn’t the slightest similarity between their appearances.
“Yes, if I hadn’t seen Sixth Miss Wei, how could I have recognized Her Heiress-apparent! Everyone knows that Sixth Miss Wei and the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an were cousins, so how could they not look alike?” Zhang Yuan was quite pleased with his answer.
The corners of Wei Yuewu’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and she asked meaningfully, “You actually recognized the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an at a glance?”
Wei Fengyao’s face turned pale, but because she had applied a lot of power to her face, no one could see anything unusual. Her hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly as she opened her mouth and was about to give a hint again to Zhang Yuan.
“Do you know who I am?” Wei Yuewu asked with a cold smile.
Shocked by her aura, Zhang Yuan could not help but shiver, however lustful he was. He suddenly remembered that the eldest daughter of Duke of Jing was the number one beauty in the world. The older beauty should be her, and the younger beauty might be her younger sister. But no matter who she was, it was impossible for him to have seen her.
“I… I don’t know!” Thinking of Duke of Jing’s status, Zhang Yuan didn’t dare to look at Wei Yuewu anymore and hurriedly lowered his head.
This was the mansion of Duke of Jing. If he really provoked someone of the mansion, he might not even be able to get out of here.
“You haven’t seen me?”
“No!” How could Zhang Yuan dare to say yes!
“You haven’t seen me, but you figured out who was the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an based on the appearance of Sixth Miss Wei whom you have seen. You are really smart!” Wei Yuewu looked up at Wen Ruoming and said with a smile, “Your Heir-apparent, I don’t know what to ask next!”
Her words were really thought-provoking. Wen Ruoming’s gaze shifted from Zhang Yuan to Wei Fengyao. His face was ashen, and he suddenly slapped Wei Fengyao fiercely in the face, who was sent flying and fell heavily to the ground.
“Your Heir-apparent!” Wei Fengyao never expected that Wen Ruoming would directly slap her in front of so many people and she screamed, “You… How could you do this…”
“Why can’t I do this? Well, well, Wei Fengyao, do you look very similar to the Sixth Young Lady? But if it wasn’t for the Sixth Young Lady, how would the guy know you? If he didn’t know you, how would he know that you are the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an!”
Wen Ruoming was so angry that his whole body trembled. When he thought that he had been made a cuckold by Wei Fengyao without knowing, he felt that he was going to explode.
Apparently, this man had come here to meet Wei Fengyao privately!
Wei Yuewu was so beautiful that no one who had seen her would forget her. Since this man failed to recognize Wei Yuewu, he must be lying. On the contrary, he was undeniably familiar with Wei Fengyao!
This guy claimed that the two cousins looked similar. However, Wei Yuewu and Wei Fengyao did not look similar at all.
This meant that the man in front of him was lying. Why was he lying? Wen Ruoming felt that he must be trying to protect another person, and this person was exactly Wei Fengyao, whom this man clearly knew although he had repeatedly pretended to have recognized Wei Fengyao based on Wei Yuewu’s appearance.
If this guy didn’t know Wei Fengyao, how could he figure out Wei Fengyao’s identity based on Wei Yuewu, whom he had never seen? Apparently, this man must have an affair with Wei Fengyao! Thinking of this point and today’s scandal, Wen Ruoming was unable to contain his anger.
Besides, when Wei Yuewu helplessly expressed that she did not know what to ask, it was evident that she was innocent. After all, Wei Yuewu was Wei Fengyao’s younger cousin, and there were some words she really couldn’t say.
At this time, Wen Ruoming was definitely sure that it was Wei Fengyao who brought a group of madams to catch him and the man in bed. The more he looked at Wei Fengyao, the more disgusted he felt. He couldn’t help wondering why he listened to his father and mother and married such a vicious and cheap woman!
“Someone, send him to the yamen!”
Wen Ruoming gritted his teeth as he said these words. He was secretly thinking to himself that sending the man to the yamen was just an excuse. Of course, he would not allow this guy to speak nonsense as he had done just now. As soon as this man was sent to the yamen, he would have someone see the Mayor of the capital city in the name of his father, Prince Nan’an, and ask the Mayor to take this person’s life immediately.
Zhang Yuan did not expect that the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an would directly ask someone to send him to the yamen. He could not help but panic. He subconsciously looked at Wei Fengyao and shouted, “Your Heiress-apparent, save me!”
