Chapter 381
Chapter 381 Powerful and Nonchalant
Wei Qiufu had never expected that Wei Yuewu would put her hands on her. She almost fell off the bridge when she caught the fence aside just in time. She was so surprised that blood drained from her face.
“Enter the Crown Prince Mansion? So what?” Wei Yuewu calmly retracted her hand.
“Wei Yuewu, what do you want?” Wei Qiufu never thought that Wei Yuewu would not only refuse to curry favor with her but also push her down from the bridge. Ashamed and exasperated, she dropped her act, stood up straight, and snapped indignantly.
“I don’t want anything. However, Fourth Elder Sister, did you really not know that someone tried to frame me? Do you want me to go to my father right now and tell him that you were the one who sent those clothes to me? How about the Third Princess’ clothes? As for how the clothes were found in your room, maybe someone was frustrated to witness your sinister plan. There are other Masters in the palace!”
Wei Yuewu walked over and suddenly smiled gently while quipping in a soft tone.
Despite that, her eyes were as clear and cold as ice. Wei Qiufu looked away sheepishly, and her heart skipped a beat. When she interpreted Wei Yuewu’s words, her expression changed.
Indeed, there were other Masters in the palace, including the Third Princess and Fourth Princess. She couldn’t think of anyone except the Fourth Princess who resented the Third Princess and had such abilities and means to do something like this.
The Fourth Princess was the Empress’ biological daughter and the Crown Prince’s sister. If she helped the Third Princess, she would be going up against the Fourth Princess.
“A-Actually, the Third Princess sent someone to bring the clothes over and asked me to give them to you, but she didn’t tell me that the clothes were two of the seven-colored clothes for the Third Princess’ prayer ceremony.” Wei Qiufu gritted her teeth and let out a sigh of relief after she finished speaking.
Did the Third Princess send someone to deliver the clothes? Wei Yuewu smiled coldly. In fact, she had already expected this. She wouldn’t have made the move had she not known anything. Besides, there were only a few people in the palace who would do something like this.
However, she didn’t know why the Third Princess, who seemed to be kind to her on the surface, was so insidious to harm her, especially on such a special occasion. In the end, Wei Qiufu took the blame for it, and the Third Princess had no choice but to minimize the impact of the matter.
Otherwise, as the person involved, she didn’t know what kind of ending would be bestowed upon her if the matter got out of hand. Even if they wouldn’t execute her for the sake of her father, she would be punished severely.
The punishment was up to the Third Princess, the victim, to decide.
On the surface, the Third Princess was as gentle as a lamb, but in fact, she was the most ruthless. Her ruthlessness was first shown when Yan Huaijing came to the capital to offer the prisoners, and now in this incident. It seemed that this Third Princess was plotting something against her. Since that was the case, she would have to be even more careful when she entered the palace in the future.
“Fourth Elder Sister, you see, Grandmother wants us sisters to get along with each other and even specially blocked my father outside, but I don’t want this matter to die down just like that. What should I do?” Wei Yuewu smiled slightly. Her gaze fell on the Mid-Lake Pavilion, which was far away, and the corners of her lips curled up.
Wei Qiufu was taken aback. She was enraged but didn’t dare to flare up. She had come to her senses after the incident in the Madam Dowager’s room, and she knew that the Madam Dowager was helping her.
“Sixth Younger Sister, what do you want? Just tell me!” Wei Qiufu gritted her teeth and snapped.
“Fourth Elder Sister, what do you think is the reason that the Third Princess ruined my other clothes except for those sent by Concubine Dong?” Wei Yuewu withdrew her gaze with a faint smile and glanced at Wei Qiufu.
“Well…” Wei Qiufu hesitated for a moment.
“If you don’t want to tell me, forget it!” Wei Yuewu turned around with a determined look.
“Wait! Sixth Younger Sister, you… wait a minute. Second Aunt told me about this,” Wei Qiufu muttered anxiously.
“Second Aunt?” Wei Yuewu was taken aback for a moment. How could Lady Li still have the strength to fight back? Did it mean that the devastating blow the other day was not enough to cripple her?
“Yes. When Concubine Dong entered the mansion, Second Aunt sent someone to tell me about the materials that Concubine Dong gave you. She told me to persuade you to wear clothes made of those materials when we entered the palace, but I don’t know the specific reason. I also told the Third Princess the same thing when she asked me.”
Wei Qiufu had no choice but to answer Wei Yuewu’s question truthfully.
In other words, this did not happen recently, but Lady Li had told her about it long ago, and Wei Qiufu remembered it and told the Third Princess the same thing. Therefore, the Third Princess took advantage of the matter and ruined her other clothes.
。
Wei Yuewu smiled coldly. “Fourth Elder Sister, I wonder who is more important in Grandmother’s heart, you or Third Elder Sister?”
“W-What do you mean?” Wei Qiufu was shocked.
“Nothing. I just want to know who is more important between the two of you. Today, Third Elder Sister burned down Grandmother’s kitchen!” Wei Yuewu turned around and approached her. Suddenly, she chuckled softly.
“I-I will go and tell Grandmother in a while to make sure that she will punish Third Elder Sister severely!” Wei Qiufu bit the corner of her lips.
“In that case, you should look more pathetic, because I heard that Third Elder Sister is in a very miserable state right now!” Wei Yuewu said meaningfully. Then, she smiled faintly and left.
Judging from Wei Yuejiao’s personality, she knew that she must be venting her anger in the room! The things in the room were not only Concubine Dong’s, but also Mother’s. She turned around and walked towards the outer courtyard. If her father was around, it would be best…
“Miss… What does Sixth Young Lady mean?” Ming Yan had been following behind Wei Qiufu. She didn’t know what happened, but Wei Yuewu was too imposing just now that she didn’t dare to step forward. After Wei Yuewu left, she came over and asked curiously.
Wei Qiufu’s face flushed red. She was both angry and hateful. When she saw Ming Yan approaching, she became more indignant and slapped her in the face. Ming Yan shrieked in pain, and tears flooded her eyes. “Let’s go! We’ll go and visit Third Elder Sister!”
“M-Miss… A-Are you sure that you want to visit the Third Young Lady like this?” Ming Yan asked timidly as she covered her face.
“Yes, we need to go right now!” Wei Qiufu gritted her teeth.
Wei Yuewu’s meaning was too obvious. She clearly wanted her to go and deal with Wei Yuejiao, or she would not let the matters in the palace die down. After comparing the pros and cons, Wei Qiufu obviously knew that Wei Yuejiao was the easier target.
When she heard that Wei Yuejiao was scalded and burnt, she wanted to see what the usually arrogant Wei Yuejiao was like now.
“Yes!” Seeing that Wei Qiufu was clenching her teeth in dismay, Ming Yan did not dare to say anything and she hurriedly nodded.
The two of them went to Wei Yuejiao’s courtyard.
Wei Yuejiao’s room was a mess. All the precious porcelain items were smashed into pieces. She flared up after Doctor Ming applied his special ointment to her wounds.
When she heard that she was going to have scars on her body, Wei Yuejiao was furious. She smashed whatever she saw. Even the few maids in the room were more or less injured by her actions.
After Doctor Ming left, Concubine Dong was hurriedly called away by her maids because something had happened on the geomancer’s side. Without anyone controlling her, Wei Yuejiao became angrier and angrier, and she smashed all the artifacts in the room.
“M-Miss… F-Fourth Young Lady is here,” a maid timidly came over to report.
“What is she doing here?” Wei Yuejiao was enraged and rebuked in a bad mood.
“I don’t know, but Fourth Young Lady looks very miserable, and her face is swollen,” the maid replied in a low voice.
Wei Yuejiao pondered for a moment. Jinzhu hurried over and said in a low voice, “Third Miss, I’ll have someone clean this place up, otherwise…”
Jinzhu clearly meant to say that they should not let Wei Qiufu see the mess in the room.
Wei Yuejiao’s eyes turned cold. At this time, she regained her composure and coldly ordered the maid, “Hurry up and clean this place up!”
“Clean up all the broken porcelain in this room. What the hell were you doing just now?! How could you let a cat into Third Miss’ room! It destroyed all the porcelain and even disturbed Miss! Do you all want to die?!”
Yuzhu, who was standing on the other side, darted her eyes around and immediately scolded the other maids.
Immediately, a few little maids came over and cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces in the room while trembling.
“Miss, I will go out and ask Fourth Young Lady what the matter is. You should take a rest!” Since Yuzhu had already taken the cleaning task, the clever Jinzhu offered herself to stop Wei Qiufu from entering. This room had to be cleaned up before anyone got in.
Wei Yuejiao nodded and sat down with a sullen face. She endured the pain in her hands and secretly pondered about the purpose of Wei Qiufu’s visit. The relationship between the two of them was no longer the same as before!
“Greetings, Fourth Young Lady!” Jinzhu bowed and stopped Wei Qiufu. After observing her condition carefully, Jinzhu found out that there was a swollen palm print on both Wei Qiufu’s and Ming Yan’s faces. It was as if both of them had been slapped. She couldn’t help but be surprised.
“How are Third Elder Sister’s injuries?” Wei Qiufu asked calmly.
“She’s getting better, and she’s sleeping now,” Jinzhu replied with an awkward expression, hoping that Wei Qiufu would go back on her own. After all, Wei Yuejiao was not in the mood to entertain guests.
“It’s okay. I’m just visiting Third Elder Sister!” Unexpectedly, Wei Qiufu, who was usually the best at judging people, seemed to not understand anything today. She waved her hand, turned her feet, and was about to go in.
They hadn’t finished cleaning up the room yet!
Jinzhu felt a chill down her spine. She quickly turned around, stood in front of Wei Qiufu, and forced a smile while saying, “Fourth Young Lady, allow me to wake our Miss up.”
“Third Elder Sister and I are sisters. I don’t mind it!” Wei Qiufu glared at Jinzhu with displeasure after being stopped once again and pulled a long face. “Are you trying to stop me from seeing Third Elder Sister?”
At this point, Jinzhu dared not stop her. She hurriedly stepped back and gave way. Then, she said with a smile, “What are you talking about, Fourth Young Lady? I won’t dare to stop you!”
“Let’s go!” Wei Qiufu grunted with a cold face.
She brought Ming Yan inside with an unkind expression. Wei Yuejiao, who was in the room, heard it and showed anger on her face. In the past, Wei Qiufu would always be polite and judge people’s expressions keenly, but she insisted on coming in to see her this time. Was she here to mock her?
At the thought of this, Wei Yuejiao was dismayed. She felt that she was extremely respected in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. In terms of status, she was the daughter of Marquis Hua Yang. She was completely different from Wei Qiufu, who came from a weak third branch. Did Wei Qiufu think that she was an easy target and came here to bully her?
Dream on! No matter what Wei Qiufu wanted to do today, she would retaliate!
She sat up straight and glared at the door angrily. Just as she was waiting for Wei Qiufu to come in, the curtain at the door was lifted, and Wei Qiufu, who was also in a somewhat miserable state, walked in.
Just as she stepped in, she cried out in alarm…
