Chapter 181



“Fifth Elder Sister, please sit inside!” Wei Yuewu smiled and said calmly.

Wei Qiuju also knew that she had acted with a bit of exaggeration in the porch. She followed Wei Yuewu into the room and the moment she was in the room, tears flew down her cheeks. “Sixth Younger Sister, there are rumors that I hung out with a lad servant outside. I was apparently at the banquet all the time, but everyone said they didn’t see me!”

In fact, Wei Qiuju had been watching the show as an onlooker since Wei Yuewu was falsely charged. She thought that it was impossible for her to be involved in this matter. In any case, this matter could not affect her. It was just a fight between Wei Yuewu and Wei Yuejiao, the two daughters of the first branch of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. She was seated beside the Madam Dowager at that time, so she did not believe that others would fail to see her.

However, what she did not expect was that this matter would actually end up with her being made the scapegoat. When she was informed of the news that Yueya had overheard, she was really scared out of her wits.

At this moment, women who attended the banquet began to return one after another. Of course, this rumor was also spread. When she thought that if she were to take the blame, her entire life would be over, how could Wei Qiuju calm down? She hurriedly brought her maid to see the Madam Dowager.

However, she didn’t go far before running into Nanny Hong, who had come with an order from the Madam Dowager that asked her to stay in her own courtyard and not run around.

The meaning behind these words was clear: she had been selected as the scapegoat. How could Wei Qiuju be willing to take the blame for others? After thinking about it in her room for a while, she secretly came to look for Wei Yuewu.

“Why didn’t Fifth Elder Sister go and explain it clearly to Grandmother? There must be someone who saw you seated by Grandmother’s side, right?” Wei Yuewu sat down and played with the handkerchief in her hand as she asked calmly.

“Right now, no one would admit seeing me. They only said that Sixth Younger Sister and I are sisters and that we look alike and are about the same age. They said that the servants must have mistaken me for you. I was by Grandmother’s side at that time and Grandmother knew about it. However, she still asked Nanny Hong to warn me.”

Wei Qiuju cried out in despair, a trace of hatred flashing through her eyes.

Why did everyone want her to take the blame for Wei Yuejiao? She was not an idiot. When she left the banquet in the beginning, everyone was talking about Wei Yuejiao hanging out with a lad servant. Grandmother even told Wei Yuejiao to quit the banquet early probably because she was afraid that everyone would say something unpleasant and the scene would be too embarrassing. When did she become that person who hung out with a lad servant?

She would in no case believe that Wei Yuejiao hadn’t played a trick in this matter.

“Previously, before Sixth Younger Sister showed up at the banquet, they had rumored that Sixth Younger Sister was hanging out with a servant. Later, they discovered that Third Elder Sister had disappeared as well. In the end, it was me. Sixth Younger Sister, someone was framing the two of us.” Wei Qiuju wiped away her tears, and her face was filled with righteous indignation.

Wei Yuewu smiled and cast a faint glance at Wei Qiuju. A trace of ridicule flashed through her eyes. She had also witnessed how this concubine-born elder sister stayed quiet for self-protection when she was falsely charged. At that time, this Wei Qiuju did not stand up to speak a word for her.

In fact, many things were double-sided, just like a coin. If Wei Qiuju had defended her loudly at that time, many people would have seen her.

But now, since her existence was too insignificant, even if people did see her at the banquet, they would still doubt if the person they saw at the banquet was really Wei Qiuju.

But now, did Wei Qiuju want to ally with her?

Coincidentally, she really needed a temporary ally at the moment!

“Who do you think is plotting this?” Wei Yuewu purposely asked with a confused expression, as if she didn’t understand the meaning of Wei Qiuju’s words.

Seeing that Wei Yuewu didn’t understand her overtone, Wei Qiuju hurriedly lowered her voice and said, “Sixth Younger Sister, you have been back to the mansion only for a short time. I’m afraid you didn’t know that the inner courtyard has always been managed by Second Aunt, but every time Concubine Dong comes back, she will help Second Aunt run the inner courtyard for a period of time. Therefore, only Second Aunt and Concubine Dong are able to command servants in the inner courtyard.”

“But Concubine Dong is not here now, right?” Wei Yuewu looked at Wei Qiuju and said.

“Concubine Dong is not here, but Third Elder Sister is here!” Wei Qiuju thought that Wei Yuewu didn’t understand her, and she stomped her foot anxiously.

“So, you meant Third Elder Sister wanted to harm me?” Wei Yuewu asked calmly.

Wei Qiuju couldn’t answer this question for a moment, but as she thought about her current situation, she gritted her teeth and said, “Yes, Third Elder Sister wanted to harm you, but she herself had an accident, so she became a victim of this matter. However, she was unwilling to bear the consequences, and therefore she spread rumors that it was me who hung out with a lad servant, and Grandmother was also helping her hide the truth.”

The more Wei Qiuju spoke, the more aggrieved she became. She couldn’t help but shed tears again. She held onto her handkerchief with a sad expression, looking extremely pitiful.

Jin Ling served two cups of tea on the table. Wei Yuewu pushed a cup of tea to the front of Wei Qiuju and picked up the other cup in front of her and took a sip calmly before saying, “Fifth Elder Sister, you think that Third Elder Sister can command the servants of the mansion, but will the madams and ladies outside also listen to Third Elder Sister?”

“There are others involved in this matter?” These words reminded Wei Qiuju. After thinking for a while, she asked uncertainly.

Wei Yuewu did not answer, and she only smiled lightly.

“Is it… Eldest Sister?” Wei Qiuju thought for a moment and asked anxiously.

She didn’t mention Wei Qiufu because Wei Qiufu had also left the banquet early. Moreover, Wei Qiufu was still an unmarried young lady, and it was unlikely that she would spread such a rumor to others. Wei Fengyao, however, had both time and reason to spread such a rumor.

“Fifth Elder Sister, what do you think?” Wei Yuewu raised her long eyelids and asked.

“Why… why did she do this? I… I’ve never provoked her!” Wei Qiuju’s face also turned green with anger, but she couldn’t do anything about it. The difference in status between the two of them was so great that she couldn’t do anything to Wei Fengyao right now. Of course, this was also an important reason why Wei Fengyao felt on the safe side to help Wei Yuejiao and make her the scapegoat.

“Concubine Dong’s relationship with the Second Lady has always been good, right?” Wei Yuewu asked.

“Yes, Concubine Dong always brings a lot of things to Second Aunt every time she returns to the mansion. Second Aunt will also send gifts to Concubine Dong when she leaves. The relationship between the two of them has always been very good. Could it be because of this so that Eldest Sister helped Third Elder Sister frame me?” After being reminded by Wei Yuewu, Wei Qiuju immediately understood the relationship between the two branches, and her face turned green with anger.

“It might be. But I wonder if Eldest Sister has helped Third Elder Sister do it.” Wei Yuewu held her handkerchief and said slowly.

“I’ll go find Eldest Sister!” After thinking for a while, Wei Qiuju stood up and said angrily, “Sixth Younger Sister, I’m leaving now.”

After saying those words, Wei Qiuju didn’t say anything more to Wei Yuewu and directly turned around to leave with Yueya angrily.

“Miss, does Fifth Young Lady have the guts to confront Eldest Young Lady?” Looking at Wei Qiuju’s back, Jin Ling asked doubtfully. From whichever perspective, Wei Qiuju didn’t seem to have the courage to do so.

“Of course she isn’t going to confront Wei Fengyao. She just wanted to ask for help from Wei Fengyao.” Wei Yuewu smiled faintly and a hint of mockery appeared on her lips.

Wei Qiuju’s thoughts weren’t hard to guess. She felt that Wei Yuewu wasn’t as useful to her as Wei Fengyao, so she decided to turn to Wei Fengyao for help. However, she was probably going to be disappointed this time. In fact, there was no third option for her in this matter.

It was either she or Wei Yuejiao, and now even the Madam Dowager had acknowledged that it was her. How could Wei Fengyao offend Concubine Dong and Wei Yuejiao for her? Besides, it was also the Madam Dowager’s intention that Wei Qiuju be made a scapegoat.

“Miss, will Fifth Young Lady speak ill of you before Eldest Young Lady?” Jin Ling took away Wei Qiuju’s teacup and asked worriedly.

“Yes! She will definitely do that.” Wei Yuewu stood up and walked into the inner chamber, her eyes flashing with a trace of coldness.

With Wei Qiuju’s temperament, it was certain that she would curry favor with Wei Fengyao. Wei Qiuju previous cooperation with her was only out of consideration of self-interest. Wei Qiuju had no choice but to stand on her side and deal with Wei Yan and Wei Qiufu together with her. In each case, Wei Qiuju could not avoid from being involved.

Whether it was the drug incident or the incident related to Imperial Academician Xie, Wei Qiuju was involved. If she did not cooperate with her, she would only suffer even more.

Now that there was Wei Fengyao who had a higher status that her, Wei Qiuju would naturally turn to her and seek help as soon as she could. This time, Wei Qiuju had come here specifically to inquire about the situation. Fortunately, she did not really treat Wei Qiuju as a confidante. Since there were some things in which this Wei Qiuju was adding fuel to the flame, she would not refuse to give her a helping hand…

However, what Wei Fengyao did was also very interesting. She took advantage of Wei Luowu’s absence to go to his study. Of course, it was impossible for her to go there to see Wei Luowu. Then what was her purpose?

Wei Fengyao also invited her to a banquet. However, she had never heard of it before.

Suddenly, something flashed through her mind. Although a period of time had elapsed, in the current situation, perhaps she could still make use of it.

Previously, if it wasn’t for Yan Huaijing, she would have died by falling off the high platform…

“Fifth Young Lady had really gone too far. She deliberately came to spy on Miss just now. She actually had meant to curry favor from Eldest Young Lady.” By now, Jin Ling also understood why Wei Qiuju came here and said angrily.

“No worry. Since they all want to harm me, I would like to give them a chance to collude.” Wei Yuewu walked to the window and pushed open the slightly closed window. A cold wind blew in. It was very cold, but it could help her remain sober.

“Jin Ling, go to the kitchen and tell Shufei and Huamo to come back. Tell them that I have been frightened and need someone to take care of me.” Wei Yuewu turned around and sat down at the table, her eyes shining with cold light.

“Yes, I will go immediately.” Jin Ling nodded and said happily, knowing that her Miss had made up her mind.

“After you tell them to come back, you yourself don’t have to come back. Go to the Eldest Young Lady’s courtyard and take a look. When the Fifth Young Lady comes out, follow her all the way. When she returns to her own courtyard, you can come back.”

Wei Yuewu carefully instructed. Wei Fengyao was the wife of the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an, and she had many trivial matters to deal with in the backyard of Prince Nan’an Mansion. It was not easy for her to have a chance to come to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Moreover, judging from her actions today, she must bear a grudge against her because of what happened to Lady Li and Wei Yan. That was why Wei Fengyao was so ruthless and wanted to take her life.

Normally, she stayed in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, whereas Wei Fengyao in Prince Nan’an Mansion, so it was not easy for them to interact with each other. How could she not take action when Wei Qiuju volunteered to offer help? This was such a good opportunity to harm her…

“Miss, don’t worry. I know what to do.” Jin Ling answered knowingly.

Inside the room, Wei Yuewu took out the small box left behind by her mother. After opening it, she picked up the thin piece of paper and studied it carefully. Her eyelids flapped twice, and her clear eyes revealed some doubts. What had she overlooked? Why did she feel that something was missing that prevented her from having a complete picture?
