Chapter 254



With so many people present, how could Wen Ruoming allow Zhang Yuan to directly identify Wei Fengyao? How could Prince Nan’an Mansion afford to lose face like this?

Two old maidservants immediately went over and stuffed a handkerchief into Zhang Yuan’s mouth and dragged him out.

“Your Heir-apparent… It’s not me…” Wei Fengyao was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat. If she was dragged down in this situation, there would be nothing she could do to clear her name.

Although Wen Ruoming was a good-for-nothing playboy, he was nevertheless a member of the royal family. How could he not understand how to handle such a matter? His face sank as he spoke in a stern voice, “Someone, Her Heiress-apparent caught a cold and was speaking nonsense. Bring her back to the mansion!”

The several old maidservants who followed Wei Fengyao looked at each other, but in the end, two of them went up and gestured to pull Wei Fengyao, who suddenly shook them off and shouted, “You slaves, hands off me!”

At this time, Wei Fengyao was extremely anxious. She rushed to the front of Wen Ruoming, her eyes burning with anger as she roared, “Your Heir-apparent, how can you do this to me? I am your wife and the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an Mansion. I didn’t say anything about your affair with Wei Qiuju, but you actually treated me like this!”

This was the handle that she had against Wen Ruoming. She had originally thought that even if there were some loopholes in her plot, with this handle in her hand, Wen Ruoming would feel guilty towards her and would not say anything.

However, she did not expect that the situation was different from her original plan to such an extent that she could not react in time and repeatedly made mistakes, causing her to be angered by Wen Ruoming’s attitude. If she was brought home by Wen Ruoming like this today, she would not have the face to see anyone in the future.

As soon as she mentioned Wei Qiuju, Wen Ruoming felt a little guilty and frowned.

Wei Yuewu raised her head and glanced at Wei Fengyao. Then, she narrowed her eyes and asked softly, “Eldest Sister, today’s event… what does it have to do with Fifth Elder Sister? Isn’t she staying in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang safe and sound? How come she was connected with today’s event? There are still many people here…”

Her words reminded Wen Ruoming, who immediately looked around. Although the maids and old maidservants of his mansion had their heads lowered and did not dare to say anything, the maids and old maidservants of the mansion of Duke of Jing had nothing to fear about, and many of them looked at him and Wei Fengyao curiously with their eyes wide open.

“Move!” Wen Ruoming felt embarrassed, and with a flick of his sleeve, he quickly walked away.

“Your Heir-apparent, where are you going?” After going downstairs, the expression on Wei Fengyao’s face had kept changing. Seeing that Wen Ruoming was actually leaving without her, she couldn’t help but scream.

“You can stay here if you like. I am going home!” Wen Ruoming sneered without turning his head.

If Wen Ruoming went back like this, how could Wei Fengyao continue to stay here? She turned around and looked at Wei Yuewu with hatred. She did not know why the situation had ended up like this. The maid had clearly said that she saw Wei Yuewu going upstairs, but in the end, Wei Yuewu appeared downstairs. Well, this Wei Yuewu had indeed played monkey tricks with her.

Of course, the Eldest Miss Jing standing beside her also had a share!

“Good, good for you! Just wait and see!” Wei Fengyao gritted her teeth and pointed at Wei Yuewu and Jing Wenyan as she sneered. Then, she turned around and chased after Wen Ruoming with a group of maids and old maidservants.

As soon as Wen Ruoming and Wei Fengyao left, it was quiet downstairs. Wei Yuewu turned to Jing Wenyan and bowed deeply. “Thank you for your help, Eldest Miss Jing!”

Jing Wenyan reached out to support her and smiled with courtesy. “Sixth Young Lady, you are too polite. Although the two of us only met a few times, I have a special affinity with you. Perhaps it is because neither of us grew up in the capital.”

Her voice was soft and gentle, but it was different from Third Princess’ seemingly sweet tone. It sounded more real and could leave a more favorable impression for people.

Wei Yuewu stood up with Jing Wenyan’s support, a dark light flashing across her eyes. “I’m afraid that Eldest Sister would hate you for what happened today.” had a young master and

Of course, Jing Wenyan understood the meaning of Wei Yuewu’s words. She answered with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. The Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an isn’t the only one who hates me. There is also my sister-in-law!”

Judging by Wei Fengyao’s attitude when she left, it was clear that she believed the two of them ganged up and she hated them to the bone. But thinking about today’s incident carefully, if Wei Fengyao had no one to help her, how could she set up such a big trap in the mansion of Duke of Jing? Of course, the one who could help Wei Fengyao was the Heiress-apparent of Duke of Jing.

It was not a secret that the two of them were bosom friends before they were married.

Shui Morou, the Heiress-apparent of Duke of Jing, did not grow up in the State of Jing. She was selected by the Emperor out of the daughters of famous aristocratic families and sent to the State of Jing.

Speaking of which, today’s incident wasn’t completely harmless to the mansion of Duke of Jing. Wen Ruoming was a guest to the mansion of Duke of Jing, but in the end, something happened to him. It was actually very likely that Prince Nan’an Mansion was annoyed and held the mansion of Duke of Jing responsible.

Although the Heiress-apparent of Duke of Jing helped her bosom friend, she had caused trouble for the mansion of Duke of Jing. Jing Wenyan would definitely report this matter to her father, and there was no way for this Heiress-apparent of Duke of Jing to get away with it!

In this case, the mansion of Duke of Jing had better investigate the matter clearly in case Princess Nan’an came to ask for an explanation.

Therefore, Wei Yuewu had in fact helped the mansion of Duke of Jing today.

“Then I’m going to be hated by the Heiress-apparent of Duke of Jing as well!” Wei Yuewu said meaningfully, and the two of them couldn’t help but laugh.

“Eldest Miss Jing, you are the focus of attention today. Please go back first. It is still early. I am going to have a walk around the garden!” Wei Yuewu suggested.

“This… Alright! I’ll leave an old maidservant at your service. Wherever you want to go, let her bring you there!” Jing Wenyan nodded. The banquet today was held in her name. No matter what, it was impossible for her not to show up and welcome the guests. “After a while, I will ask her to bring you directly to my courtyard. Today, I specially invited a few intimate young ladies to my courtyard.”

So, this was the reason why Eldest Miss Jing sent an extra invitation to her. As for her “safety on the road”, she did not mention anything about it. In other words, Jing Wenyan knew nothing about the danger that Wei Yuewu had encountered on the road.

It was only intended for the sake of politeness!

This Eldest Miss Jing was indeed extremely clever. If she hadn’t sent for her and forced her to take her stand, and if she wasn’t sure that Wei Fengyao could no longer stir up any trouble, this Jing Wenyan would probably not stand on her side firmly.

Wei Yuewu bowed again. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, “Thank you, Eldest Miss Jing!”

“Sixth Young Lady, you are too polite. I am leaving now!” At this time, Jing Wenyan had finished dealing with the matter. The maid who had been knocked out was also taken away by her.

“See you!” Wei Yuewu nodded.

Jing Wenyan took a few steps and suddenly she seemed to think of something. She waved her hand and the maids around her all retreated. She turned around and walked to Wei Yuewu. She glanced at Jin Ling behind Wei Yuewu and then whispered to Wei Yuewu, “Sixth Young Lady, have you heard about the selection of Crown Princess and imperial concubines for the Crown Prince?”

“The selection of Crown Princess and imperial concubines for the Crown Prince? Hasn’t that already been under way? Could it be that the final list has been decided?” Wei Yuewu raised her head in shock. Of course, she knew what had occurred in the Plum Blossom Nunnery.

At that time, in order to get a bright red palace flower that indicated candidacy for the Crown Princess, Wei Qiufu even gave her a rose-red palace flower that was intended for a candidate imperial concubine.

Of course, Jing Wenyan wasn’t merely talking about this now with such a serious face.

“I don’t know yet, but… I heard that the Crown Prince might not choose his Crown Princess based on the family background this time!” Jing Wenyan’s eyes remained fixed on Wei Yuewu’s face as she uttered these words.

“Not based on the family background? This… Could there be other criteria?” Wei Yuewu looked at Jing Wenyan and asked with a puzzled look. “No matter what, the Crown Princess must not be too ordinary. Could it be that the daughter of a common family would become the Crown Princess?”

The Crown Prince was the future ruler of the country and the next Emperor! The Crown Princess was the future Empress, second only to the Emperor. Therefore, there were high requirements on the candidates for the Crown Princess. Only the daughters of aristocratic families, and especially big and powerful aristocratic families were eligible candidates.

Wei Qiufu had set her up because she was blocking her way.

At this moment, Wei Yuewu was truly puzzled.

“Well, I’m not too sure either… But according to the rumors, it seems that not only daughters of big aristocratic families are considered, but those from small aristocratic families are also eligible. This seems to be a nation-wide selection, but the candidates must be daughters of aristocratic families in the capital!” Jing Wenyan said, frowning.

“Nation-wide selection? Are they choosing palace maids?” Wei Yuewu curled her lips indifferently. Several years ago, a nation-wide selection of palace maids was also held.

Jing Wenyan had been carefully examining Wei Yuewu’s expression. Seeing that Wei Yuewu really did not know anything, she explained, “Not palace maids. Basically, all the unmarried young ladies of the aristocratic families will be considered.”

“Impossible!” Wei Yuewu was shocked. In the past, nation-wide selections were only held to select palace maids. As for the wives of princes and the Crown Prince, only the daughters from big aristocratic families were eligible candidates.

“Yes. Sixth Miss Wei, you are not engaged now, so you should also be a candidate!” Jing Wenyan’s burning gaze landed on Wei Yuewu’s face as she reminded her.

“Could it be that all those without a marriage contract will be considered? Didn’t they say that each mansion could have only one candidate for the position of Crown Princess?” Wei Yuewu’s eyes moved slightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered as if she was shocked.

“It was true before, but the rule seemed to have changed!” Jing Wenyan said.

“When did this happen?” Wei Yuewu asked with a frown. “Is the previous selection of candidates still effective?”

“Of course it is. The Fourth Young Lady in your mansion is expected to enter the Crown Prince Mansion. It was said that the Crown Prince personally selected her. Several other young ladies will also enter the Crown Prince Mansion. However, these people can’t compete for the position of Crown Princess.” Jing Wenyan’s face was solemn.

Looking at Wei Yuewu’s gentle and beautiful face, Jing Wenyan recalled the rumor that the Crown Prince had thought highly of Wei Yuewu. She smiled and asked as if casually, “Sixth Young Lady, are you willing to be the Crown Princess?” At the same time, she observed Wei Yuewu quietly.

This was the only girl she could not see through…
