Chapter 203
Wei Yuewu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She knew that the Fourth Prince no longer suspected her. She did not expect that a safety talisman similar to the Fourth Prince’s would attract his suspicions.
Fortunately, she was prepared. Otherwise, the Fourth Prince might have discovered something.
A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. Why was the Fourth Prince so concerned about this safety talisman? The only difference between his safety talisman and hers was that it had the words “Fenghe” written on it.
Could it be that this Master Fenghe also had some secrets? Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. That day, Yan Huaijing took her to see this Master Fenghe.
Also in Plum Blossom Nunnery, it was the same Master Fenghe, and her hand seemed to have cooled a little…
“No…mother…you…how could you do this to me!” Wei Fengyao’s sharp voice shocked the two of them. They turned around and looked at Wei Fengyao, who was kneeling on the ground.
Wei Fengyao was so angry that her body trembled. No matter what, she never expected Princess Nan’an to let her accept it. At this time, Wei Fengyao, who clearly understood Princess Nan’an’s intentions, couldn’t help but shout.
She and the heir-apparent had only been married for a few months, so how would she like to see him have a concubine? Moreover, this concubine was Wei Qiuju, her Fifth Younger Sister. How would she face other people in the future?
“Fengyao, I know your love for Ming’er. I know what you’ve done for Prince Nan’an Mansion. Ming’er will respect you more from now on. I’m old now and I have to entrust the matters of the backyard to you.” Princess Nan’an leaned back and said with concern, “Someone, help the heiress-apparent up.”
Two maids hurriedly stretched out their hands, trying to help Wei Fengyao up, but Wei Fengyao frantically pushed them. “Mother, am I guilty of any misconduct after I entered the mansion? Ever since I entered the mansion, have I ever been unfilial to you and father? Why do you treat me like this now?”
As she spoke, tears fell down her cheeks as she tightly grabbed onto her own clothes, feeling extremely distressed.
The two maids didn’t dare to pull her, so they could only retreat to the side.
Princess Nan’an’s expression sank when she saw Wei Fengyao making a fuss. She then noticed the surrounding noble young masters’ gazes and felt a little disgusted. In her opinion, Wei Fengyao was the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an Mansion, so how could she have such disrespectful behavior?
Moreover, what happened today was clear: Wei Fengyao attempted to hurt Wei Yuewu. If her scheme really succeeded, Prince Nan’an Mansion would not be in peace as long as the slightest bit of information was leaked out. Marquis Hua Yang was not someone she could afford to provoke. Back then, he did that crazy thing for Marquise Hua Yang, and now, he might do even a crazier thing for his daughter.
Prince Nan’an Mansion had always been peaceful, and she didn’t want to be dragged into any whirlpool.
“Fengyao, you are the future Princess Nan’an. Your consideration for Prince Nan’an Mansion’s descendants showed your bearing as the heiress-apparent. No one will say anything wrong about it. They will only think that you are sensible and generous. As for the Madam Dowager, I will also send someone to tell her that you have been doing well after marrying into Prince Nan’an Mansion. Otherwise, just by what you did today…”
Princess Nan’an said as she glanced sideways at Wei Yuewu who was standing beside the Fourth Prince and coldly warned Wei Fengyao.
Wei Fengyao’s gaze also turned to Wei Yuewu. She immediately remembered her previous plan. A cold trace of hatred flashed through her eyes, but she also understood the current situation. With Wei Yuewu around, she simply couldn’t control the situation.
She gritted her teeth and lowered her head in hatred. Her face turned ashen. “Yes, Mother, I will obey your order!”
These were only a few words, but each word was like a knife that pierced into her heart, so fiercely that it made her feel extremely painful and she could hardly breathe.
“Fengyao is really a filial girl. Ming’er, if you fail Fengyao in the future, I will break your legs.” Seeing Wei Fengyao let go, Princess Nan’an’s expression relaxed and she scolded the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an, who was standing on the side in panic.
The Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at Wei Qiuju, who was standing behind him and trembling. He immediately felt that his manliness had greatly increased. He patted his chest and assured Wei Fengyao. “Yes, mother, don’t worry. Even if Fengyao’s face is ruined in the future, I will still treat her as well as always. I will definitely not let her down.”
But these words were more like a sharp sword piercing into Wei Fengyao’s chest. Wei Fengyao was so angry that her entire body stiffened. Then, she trembled and almost vomited blood.
“Alright, someone, help the heiress-apparent back to rest!” Princess Nan’an was helpless at her son’s lousy speaking skills and waved at the two maids.
The two maids went over and helped Wei Fengyao back to her own courtyard.
As soon as Wei Fengyao returned to her room and saw Princess Nan’an’s two maids retreated, she couldn’t stand any longer and collapsed to the ground, crying loudly.
Outside the door, maids and nurses were all frightened and didn’t dare to make a sound, fearing that they would disturb this heiress-apparent.
“Your Heiress-apparent, don’t cry. If your tears wet the wound, the wound will be easily inflamed and will leave scars.” Her wet nurse, Nurse Jin, had watched her grow up and followed her into the mansion of Prince Nan’an. She felt sorry for Wei Fengyao and came over to comfort her.
“Bitch, bitch, they’re all bitches! I won’t let them off, I won’t let them off.” Wei Fengyao gritted her teeth and scolded, but she still received the handkerchief from Nurse Jin’s hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The doctor did tell her so when applying medicine for her. She inexplicably remembered her own mother’s face, which was burned by her grandmother and made her suffer a series of accidents after that.
“Bitch!” After wiping away her tears, Wei Fengyao cursed hatefully.
“Your Heiress-apparent, do not worry about anything else. You should have your face treated first. Otherwise, if Fifth Young Lady entered the mansion, the heir-apparent would not even look at you.” Nurse Jin looked at Wei Fengyao’s tightly wrapped face and advised, “We’ll think of a way to deal with Fifth and Sixth Young Ladies in the future.”
“No, I can’t let those two slut girls have their way!” Wei Fengyao shook her head and stood up with Nurse Jin’s help. She sat down on the chair and gritted her teeth.
“You mean…” Nurse Jin asked with confusion.
“Since she dared to ruin my face, I will ruin her face as well. The other one dared to steal my husband, and I will leave her with nothing!” Wei Fengyao’s eyes almost dripped with venom.
“Write a letter for me to Concubine Dong. Tell her that I am willing to cooperate with her! Tell her to quickly enter the capital and not waste time on the road! By the way, tell her that Third Younger Sister’s reputation is almost ruined. Let her make preparations.”
“Yes, I understand!” Nurse Jin nodded her head and asked hesitantly, “Should we notify Second Madam?”
This reminded Wei Fengyao. After thinking for a while, she calmed down. “There’s no need to write the letter to Concubine Dong. Tell my mother about the matter and let her contact Concubine Dong.”
She knew that there was always a connection between her mother and Concubine Dong. She suddenly remembered that she overheard a conversation between them when she was a child. A trace of coldness flashed in her eyes. Since her mother and Concubine Dong were on the same boat, then with Concubine Dong here, Wei Yuewu would never be able to get away with it…
After something like this happened in the front hall, no one was in the mood to stay any longer. Everyone followed the Fourth Prince to take leave. Wei Yuewu and the others also retreated under the guidance of Princess Nan’an’s maid.
However, what she did not expect was that she would actually encounter Yan Huaijing!
Yan Huaijing stood leisurely beside his flamboyant carriage. His handsome face carried a gentle smile as usual. More coincidentally, the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang’s carriages were all blocked inside. Unless his carriage moved away, their carriages would not be able to get out at all.
Wei Yuejiao looked at Yan Huaijing infatuatedly. She held the handkerchief in her hand and her face flushed. If it wasn’t for the maid pulling her, she would have crashed straight into Yan Huaijing.
“Greetings, Your Heir-apparent!” Of course, Wei Yuejiao was speechless now. Wei Qiufu was the oldest of them all, so she had to step forward to deal with him at this time.
“There is no need to stand on ceremony!” Yan Huaijing always behaved like an exiled immortal from the heavens without a trace of worldliness, and there was a mixture of elegance with gentleness in his manners.
However, such a heavenly immortal-like heir-apparent made it even harder for them to speak. Even Wei Qiufu, who had always been gentle and dignified, was stunned for a moment and found it difficult to speak.
Wei Yuewu lowered her head and stood behind Wei Qiufu without saying a word. In any case, she was determined to pretend that she did not exist and decided not to reply.
However, when Yan Huaijing saw her expression, he felt that he couldn’t let this little fox slip away from him for nothing.
This time, it was really a coincidence. Prince Nan’an invited him over to discuss something. He didn’t expect to see the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang’s carriages here. After a brief inquiry, he knew that several young ladies from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang had come to Prince Nan’an Mansion at the heiress-apparent’s invitation.
But at the same time, he also knew that something seemed to have happened inside and the heiress-apparent’s face was scratched by a dog. He knew that they would come out soon, so he purposely waited here.
“Your Heir-apparent, could you please move aside your carriage?” Wei Qiufu had no choice but to plead. She did not dare to offend this distinguished heir-apparent.
“You ladies are going back home? Are you not going to have lunch here?” Yan Huaijing raised his handsome eyes, glanced sideways at Wei Yuewu, and lazily asked.
As Wei Qiufu spoke, she moved and exposed Wei Yuewu. Wei Yuewu’s heart tightened. She subconsciously felt that it was not good and wanted to hide behind Wei Qiufu.
But before she could make a move. Yan Huaijing smiled and said, “Didn’t Sixth Miss Wei see me? I remember saving Sixth Miss Wei more than once, right?”
After he said this, Wei Yuewu was secretly annoyed. She had no choice but to walk out from behind Wei Qiufu and gently bow to Yan Huaijing. “Greetings, Your Heir-apparent. I was frightened and didn’t restore my senses. That’s why I didn’t notice you.”
