Chapter 486 An Unexpected Coincidence
Wei Qiu Ju grabbed the plate with the pastries in her hand with an astonished look on her face.
“Isn’t this … the basin that Auntie left for me? How come it’s here with sixth sister?”
“Is this what your aunt left you?” Wei Yuewu asked as she glanced at her.
“Yes, exactly the same, this is still my aunt in the beginning specially left to me, said one day, said that may be useful to me, said such a plate, no one else can have, but … but why would the sixth sister have?”
Because she was really too surprised, Wei Qiu Ju kept turning the plate in her hands, trying to find a little difference, but no matter how she looked at it, this plate was just exactly the same as the one she had collected for herself.
“Luna, come over here and see if it’s this plate?” She turned back to call the maid standing to the side.
Luna also saw it earlier, this time to hear the call, busy over, took the plate to look carefully.
“Is it the same?” Wei Qiu Ju asked.
Luna looked through it while answering very seriously, “Yes, Miss, it’s exactly the same as the one you put away, but it’s so strange, why would Miss Six have it?”
She said this latter sentence very softly, but it was still heard by the sharp-eared Jinling, and said in a puzzled manner, “Why can’t our young lady have this kind of plate, but it’s just an ordinary plate for snacks, not to mention our young lady here, Auntie Dong’s place still has it too!”
“No way!” Luna said categorically, only realizing that she had lost her tongue when she finished speaking, and hastily covered her mouth.
“Why is it impossible?” Wei Yuewu raised her surging watery eyes and faintly asked.
“This …” Luna couldn’t answer for a moment, only to turn back to Wei Qiu Ju.
Wei Qiu Ju nodded, “Yueya, tell Miss Six everything you know.”
“Yes, slave girl knows!” Yueya said with slight embarrassment, “Sixth Miss, this plate was left by Auntie to our Miss, my mother also said that there are actually not many plates like this left behind, originally there was only a set of twelve, and then many more fell off on the way, so the ones that can be saved are estimated to be only three or four.”
“Who is your aunt?” Wei Yuewu glanced at her, and was also more than a little curious about Wei Qiu Ju’s aunt who had died early.
“Our aunt used to be the eldest maid of a house serving the young Missy, the slave girl’s mother was just a young maid serving the aunt, and she said that she originally traveled with the young Missy of that house, but she couldn’t imagine that the road encountered thieves, and that the young Missy of the master’s house had an accident.”
“Afterwards, it entered the Marquis of Huayang Mansion under the coincidence of karma, but no matter whether it was aunt or my mother who remembered the original Missy, this plate was saved at that time, and it was said that one day, it would be possible to recognize the owner based on this plate, because the firing method of this plate was lost long time ago, and it was impossible to imitate it again.”
Luna explained.
This said a few maids on the side of the face peeped up, and then revealed joy, I can’t imagine that this thing really should be on the fifth miss.
Although the fifth young lady was slightly different from the identity they had guessed, she must have touched the truth after all.
The truth about Aunt Winter’s plate with the treats on it.
“Fifth sister, have you heard your aunt say what this plate is usually for?” Wei Yuewu asked again after a brief moment of contemplation, there were still some things she had to ask clearly in order to understand Aunt Dong’s plans in more detail.
“It is said that that family has a set of molds that make exquisite and unusual pastries, mounted on such a plate, it will make that pastry look even more beautiful.” Wei Qiu Ju thought about it, although she is not very concerned about the heart, but must be their own mother said, and her aunt also just let her see the family when the plate back to her, and some of the master and servant of the feelings and their own.
“Does your aunt know Aunt Winter?” Wei Yuewu could not remember Wei Qiu Ju’s birth mother by herself, the past was originally a blur in her memory.
“My aunt knows Aunt Winter, Aunt Winter used to be the maid beside the Dowager Countess, and later became the aunt of my eldest uncle, although my aunt is not too fond of appearing in front of people, but basically she will still deal with Aunt Winter, and when I was small I was specifically told to be careful of Aunt Winter.”
Wei Qiu Ju thought about it or said honestly.
Although she didn’t know what Wei Yuewu asked what this meant, but she was smart enough not to inquire about it, she also recognized herself clearly now, compared to Wei Qiufu and Wei Yuewu, she really wasn’t very smart, and it was better to be able to not know or to know a little bit less, lest what right and wrong would be born again at that time.
“The family your mother used to be in was surnamed Tu, right?” Wei Yuewu asked after a moment of contemplation.
“Yes, sixth sister this also knows!” Wei Qiu Ju couldn’t help but widen her eyes, in the Huayang Marquis’ mansion, besides her and Yueya, no one else knew about it, but she didn’t know that the young Wei Yuewu actually knew so clearly.
This also made Wei Qiu Ju’s heart grow more and more in awe.
“Many thanks to Fifth Sister, but please keep this matter more secret from Fifth Sister, don’t let Fourth Sister find out!” Wei Yuewu smiled faintly and softly said.
“Sixth sister don’t worry, I won’t say anything, this was originally related to me, my aunt didn’t allow me to tell just anyone back then.” Wei Qiu Ju nodded.
The two of them made small talk for a while longer before Wei Qiu Ju excused herself and left.
Wei Yuewu was sent to the entrance of the courtyard, and then re-returned to the house to sit down, under the light, a delicate little face penetrated a few points of gravity.
“Miss, Aunt Winter wants to impersonate that Tu family’s eldest miss?” Shu Fei has always been very smart, this would have already heard the tone from the two people’s conversation, and hurriedly asked.
“First Miss of the Tu Family! Although this Lord Tu is no longer a direct descendant of the Tu family, but after all, he was once the first, even though there is Empress Tu now, people can’t say anything, but some families will still recognize him, and even feel that he is the real Tu family, with such an identity there, if she is really a Tu Clan’s daughter, in order to whitewash what happened back then, Empress Tu will also definitely ask her father to put her back on her feet.”
Wei Yuewu laughed coldly and raised her eyebrows, sort of understanding Aunt Dong’s entire plan.
“Miss, what then?” Unexpectedly, Aunt Dong actually had such a great scheme, several maids were startled, and Painted End couldn’t help but open her mouth.
Aunt Dong wants to stir up this matter is actually very simple, the beloved one called Qian Ying beside her is now a concubine beside that Lord Tu Jiulin, and is still a favored concubine, so she can also pass any words upwards.
“Miss, this is really not a small matter!” Golden Bell also reminded.
“Miss, could Aunt Winter really be that Tu family’s eldest miss? If this is really true, even if we wanted to stop it, we wouldn’t be able to.” Painted End’s tears were falling from her eyes in anxiety, thinking that Aunt Winter was so vicious that if she gained power, she wouldn’t be able to take Miss’s life, she was nervous.
Today this matter is not Miss smart, this would have been identified as a wild seed, was driven out of the house, or by the dowager lady a white damask execution, and even the reputation of the dead lady are implicated.
“She is not!” Wei Yuewu raised her head, the corner of her lips hooked out a deep smile, “She can’t be, if she is, after so many years, she would have already blown things out of proportion, and there’s no need to be afraid of people knowing about it, she wants to be the marquis’ wife not for a day or two! Moreover, fifth sister’s aunt has seen her!”
These words reminded a few of the maids, Painted End almost jumped up in joy, “If she is the master of Miss Fifth’s aunt, how could Miss Fifth’s aunt not recognize her!”
“Indeed it can’t be, otherwise Aunt Winter would have already stabbed this matter in front of the Marquis, instead of having to wait for that Lord Tu to find out on his own and come to his door! I’m afraid that Aunt Dong gave her personal maid to Lord Tu as a concubine before she learned about it from the maid’s mouth!”
Goldbell guessed.
“Miss, the slave girl thinks that Aunt Winter has suffered such a big loss today, and was suspected by the Marquis, even if she is carrying a child in her belly, so what, look at the Marquis’s appearance really does not have the intention of establishing her as the main room, Aunt Winter will definitely be anxious, and will surely act immediately.”
Shufei said with a wink.
This said Wei Yuewu nodded her head in satisfaction, the few maids by her side, were also getting more and more useful now.
“Jinling, tomorrow I will leave the house early in the morning and go to the palace to go to the draft, I don’t know if I will be able to go out of the palace tomorrow, and even if I do, the time to go out of the palace won’t be early.” Wei Yue Ming analyzed.
The likelihood of being brushed off in the first round of the draft, right away, was fifty-fifty in his own case, and if it really was as father and Mrs. Tai thought they were, he should have been brushed off in the first round himself, but of course there were accidents in such things, or keeping himself for an extra round, so there was nothing to expect here in his own case.
Waiting for the palace to take a step, counting a step, here in Wei Yueyue Dance of course hope to be directly brushed down the best.
“Aunt Dong will most likely make a move tomorrow because she can’t guess when I will be leaving the palace, but her matter is that she can’t wait any longer, before she thought that she could use Aunt Yang’s matter to frame me and my mother so she wasn’t in a hurry, but now she can’t wait any longer.” Speaking here Wei Yuewu’s eyes flashed with a hint of ghostly coldness.
“This evening has been late, Aunt Winter is unlikely to send someone out at this juncture, but early tomorrow morning, will inevitably send someone out, it should be her side of the Jinzhu, you can then pester her, not let her go too early,”
Without Aunt Dong’s instructions, the maid surnamed Qian certainly did not dare to act without authorization, here at first glance they know about this matter, some things have not yet been inquired about clearly, it is best not to let Aunt Dong act too quickly, here they laid down the backhand before they can catch up.
“Yes, slave girl knows!”
“Painting end, you go to father’s study tomorrow, just say that I said I want father to see how that screen weaving is, how that screen was originally, I haven’t seen it before, so please help father point it out.” Wei Yue Mo finished standing up, walked to the window, picked up the pen that was placed on the brush holder, and after thinking about it, brushed and wrote on the rice paper.
When he finished writing, he looked at the wording on the paper, and nodded with satisfaction, “Jinling, this letter, you will casually find a small maid tomorrow to send it to Mrs. Tu’s mansion, and name Miss Tu Jiu on it!”
We’ll have to find time to reconnect at Ms. Tu Kau’s place as well.
