Chapter 240



“The Sixth Young Lady of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang?” Wen Tianyao put his slender fingers on the curtain of his carriage. He didn’t expect to meet Wei Yuewu at this time. He couldn’t help but knit his handsome brows tightly.

“Ask the Sixth Young Lady where she is going?” He ordered in a deep voice.

“Sixth Miss Wei, our master asked to know where you are going?” The guard received the order and spoke towards Wei Yuewu’s carriage.

Wei Yuewu was also lifting the curtain and looking out of her carriage. However, she could not see anyone except a hand that was lifting the curtain slightly. She knew the other person must also be looking at her.

This carriage looked quite ordinary and had no markings. Apart from being a bit wider, it was really inconspicuous. Nevertheless, the two guards standing outside the carriage looked really tough. There was also that coachman, who appeared arrogant but was actually quite cautious, which made people very suspicious.

The moment the crash occurred, the two guards and the coachman had assumed a defensive formation around the carriage. It could be seen that the identity of the person in the carriage was extraordinary.

She had things to do and didn’t want to get involved in any trouble, so she nodded at Jin Ling slightly. Jin Ling understood and said aloud to the outside of the carriage, “Our young lady’s embroidered screen was broken. She wants to find a skilled embroideress to repair it!”

The guard whispered to the person in the carriage, and then Wei Yuewu saw the guard came forward and cupped his hands to her carriage. “Sixth Miss Wei, our master said he knows an embroidery store whose embroideresses’ skills are pretty good. He would like to take you there!”

Well, this person met her on the way, and he expressed his willingness to help her and even said that he wanted to take her to the embroidery store. The meaning behind this was enough for Wei Yuewu to ponder. However, when she saw the guard standing firmly outside the carriage, she realized that she had to accept the offer of help. Wei Yuewu pondered for a moment and said softly to the outside, “Please extend my thanks to your master!”

It seemed that the master on the carriage had something to talk to her. Since that was the case, she would like to see who this person was!

The two carriages set off again. The other party’s carriage led the way in the front, followed by Wei Yuewu’s carriage. Just like that, the two carriages moved along without alerting the passers-by.

The carriages turned two corners on the streets and finally stopped in front of an embroidery store. This was a rather big embroidery store located in the busy market. Apparently, this was not an ordinary embroidery store.

Seeing that the carriage in front of her stopped but no one got off from above, Wei Yuewu thought for a moment and let Jin Ling get out first. Then, she placed her hand on Jin Ling’s shoulder and got off the carriage. After that, she instructed the coachman to park the carriage on the side and walked towards the store with Jin Ling.

“Miss, that person…” Jin Ling tugged at the corner of her clothes worriedly and secretly pointed at the parked carriage. Unexpectedly, there was no movement, as if there was no master inside.

“Let’s go. Since he is looking for me, he will naturally come in.” Wei Yuewu shook her head and walked past the carriage. As her eyes swept across the carriage, she unconsciously frowned.

This was an extremely ordinary carriage without any special mark. However, the person dared to stop her with a majestic but not arrogant aura. Even after learning she was a young lady of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, the aura remained the same. This meant that the person’s status was not low. Besides, the attitude of the guards and the coachman was also impressive, which inexplicably reminded Wei Yuewu of the scenes she encountered when she entered the capital city.

Back then, her carriage was also hit. But at that time, she did not see the person in the carriage, and she only guessed that the person should be from the royal family.

Although the carriage in front of her was different, it gave off a similar feeling. Could it be a prince in this carriage?

The embroidery store was very big, and there were all kinds of embroidery works in it, including small items such as sachets and handkerchiefs, as well as big ones such as screens and curtains. However, there weren’t many customers. She only saw a few shop assistants shuttling through the counters, picking out some items and sending them upstairs.

She looked over from the door, and there seemed to be private rooms upstairs, like those in a teahouse. Coincidentally, a lady brought two maids downstairs. The two maids each held a few embroidery items in their hands, and a shop assistant behind them smiled and respectfully sent them down.

“Miss, there are private rooms upstairs for people to choose embroidery works.” Jin Ling pointed upstairs and whispered.

Private room? That was why he brought her here! Wei Yuewu’s heart skipped a beat, but her face didn’t show any sign as she walked towards the stairs.

The shop assistant who was seeing customers off saw a young lady coming and hurriedly led Wei Yuewu to a private room upstairs. He served her some tea and then respectfully asked, “Young lady, what kind of embroidery works do you want? We have all kinds of embroidery works here. Whatever you want to see, I will bring it over for you.”

“Do you have any skilled embroideress here?” Jin Ling asked for Wei Yuewu.

“You have come to the right place, young lady. Our embroideresses are all very skilled. We have a lot of regular customers who are satisfied with our embroidery skills. They say that the embroidery items we have here are not inferior to those sent exclusively to the royal palace.” The shop assistant was eloquent and answered with a quick smile.

“Can they repair embroidered screens?” Jin Ling went straight to the point.

“Well… they need to see the item. We used to have embroideresses who repaired damaged items. The items repaired by them looked almost flawless. Nobody can tell that they were broken before.” The shop assistant hesitated for a moment, but he still replied with a smile.

“Can you let a skilled embroideress follow us to have a look?” Jin Ling asked. They didn’t bring the screen this time, so it was impossible for them to show it to the people from the embroidery store.

“This… I’m afraid it’s not possible. Our embroideresses won’t go to the customers’ houses, especially those skilled embroideresses… Young lady, you’d better bring your screen over and let our embroideresses have a look.” The shop assistant had an awkward look on his face.

“Why can’t your embroideresses go to the customers’ houses? I’ve heard that many embroideresses in the embroidery stores can go to the various mansions according to the customers’ needs.” Wei Yuewu’s cherry lips curved slightly as she said softly with a smile.

The capital had many aristocratic families. Many customers were of extremely high statuses and there were many customers who requested onsite service. Many stores were actually providing this kind of service. Only those small stores that were short of hands would refuse. She didn’t expect that such a large embroidery store would actually refuse to provide onsite service. This was truly too surprising for Wei Yuewu.

The shop assistant didn’t know the reason, so he had to answer with a smile. “Please forgive me, young lady. This is an order of our boss.”

Since the shop assistant repeatedly said the embroideresses here couldn’t go out, Wei Yuewu said gently, “Alright, go get some exquisite handkerchiefs and sachets. I’ll take a look first. Then, invite your skilled embroideresses over. I have something to ask them.”

“Yes, wait a minute!” The shop assistant hurriedly said. Then, he gently retreated.

“Miss, what do you need a handkerchief or a sachet for?” Jin Ling was rather puzzled. Wei Yuewu’s handkerchiefs and sachets were either embroidered by herself or by her maids. Of course, most of them were embroidered by Huamo. There was no need for her to buy them outside.

“Perhaps they will be of user sometime!” Wei Yuewu smiled and said meaningfully.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Jin Ling subconsciously shouted, “Come in!”

As the door opened, Wen Tianyao appeared elegantly at the door. Except for a eunuch dressed as a lad servant beside him, there was no one else.

“His Highness the Crown Prince!” Jin Ling’s eyes widened.

However, Wei Yuewu stood up calmly and bowed respectfully to Wen Tianyao. There was no sign of fear or being stunned on her face.

Wen Tianyao walked in followed by the eunuch, and the door closed behind him silently.

“Sixth Miss Wei, there is no need to stand on ceremony.” Wen Tianyao smiled as he walked in.

Wei Yuewu got up and stepped aside to make way for him.

“How did Sixth Miss Wei know it was me?” After sitting in his seat, Wen Tianyao’s gaze landed on Wei Yuewu again.

“Your Highness has a majestic look even in plain clothes!” Wei Yuewu cautiously looked at Wen Tianyao with a trace of deep meaning in her eyes. This Crown Prince was actually someone she couldn’t get over in her heart. As long as she saw him, she would remember the note left behind by her mother.

“You’re welcome, Sixth Miss Wei. Please take a seat!” Wen Tianyao laughed and pointed at the seat opposite him.

Wei Yuewu didn’t stand on ceremony either. She sat down again, but she lowered her head and didn’t say anything. Since the Crown Prince wanted to see her privately, it meant that he had something to say to her. And before she had any clue to what was going on, Wei Yuewu felt that it was better for her to be a quiet listener.

“Has Sixth Miss Wei ever heard of me?” Wen Tianyao asked slowly as he looked at the gentle and beautiful girl in front of him.

This question was very abrupt and almost puzzling. For all the people in the country, as long as they knew about the Emperor, they would know about the Crown Prince. Who wouldn’t know about the current Crown Prince?

However, Wei Yuewu understood. Her butterfly-like eyelids flashed. Although she was nervous, she raised her eyes and looked at Wen Tianyao calmly. “Your Highness, Yuewu has been in the countryside for a long time. No one has ever mentioned Your Highness to me before.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t know him, it was just that no one had purposely mentioned him to her!

She did not know what the Crown Prince wanted to verify, but she herself was indeed trying to verify something. Since the Crown Prince also had the same idea, she felt that it was necessary to verify it with the Crown Prince.

Wen Tianyao was slightly surprised by Wei Yuewu’s reaction, and his eyes revealed a trace of admiration. “Sixth Young Lady, you grew up in the capital, but I didn’t even have any impression of you. It was really strange. I couldn’t help but ask. I hope Sixth Young Lady doesn’t mind my asking!”

“Your Highness worried too much!” Wei Yuewu bowed slightly.

She had numerous guesses about the Crown Prince’s intentions, but she was not sure why he had stopped her. What made her even more puzzled was that although she was still young when she left the capital, the Crown Prince must not be young at that time. Why didn’t he have any impression of her?

Her mother was Marquise Hua Yang, and her father was highly valued by the Emperor. Therefore, her mother must be a frequent visitor to the imperial palace. She was still a kid at that time, so it was normal for her mother to bring her along. How could this Crown Prince not have seen her when she was a kid?

That scene flashed through her mind. The girl who was spitting out large mouthfuls of blood was dying, but she was still looking at her with a smile and concern. All of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain in her heart…
