Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 424

Chapter 424 The Fourth Prince’s Suspicions

Marquis Hua Yang asked to pick Sixth Miss Wei up at this time? Was it because they heard something?

Princess Nan’an looked at Madam Dowager in surprise. With such a formal visit, and it was Madam Dowager who brought them over, how could they not stay for a meal?

“Who did Marquis Hua Yang send over?” Madam Dowager also frowned.

“It’s said that it’s a lad servant by Marquis Hua Yang’s side. Marquis Hua Yang has such an urgent matter that he wanted to see the Sixth Young Lady. He asked the Sixth Young Lady to go quickly, but the Third Young Lady doesn’t have to go with her,” the maid explained cleverly.

That was, he really had something for which he needed to see Wei Yuewu.

“Yuewu, since your father has sent someone to pick you up, you should go back first. It’s important because the injuries on your body will need a lot of rest!” Madam Dowager said to Wei Yuewu kindly.

The incident happened so suddenly. After that, she was called over by Princess Nan’an. The clothes on Wei Yuewu had not been changed yet. They were still the same clothes. Although Huamo had already tidied them up for her, they were still messy and a little dirty.

“Yes!” Wei Yuewu bowed to Princess Nan’an. “Princess, I will take my leave first!”

Because she just had a fall, her body had a lot of sore points, but the posture of her greeting was still very standard, which made Princess Nan’an have a good impression on her.

“Go ahead!” Princess Nan’an said with a smile.

Wei Yuewu walked out slowly with Huamo’s help. When they reached the door, Huamo asked anxiously, “Miss, how are you feeling? Are you okay?”

Previously, it was the masters’ conversation. She, as a maid, could not casually interrupt. She was the only witness who saw the whole incident. She also saw that although Miss was weak, she was clinging to Prefectural Princess Jia’nan as best as she could, causing Prefectural Princess Jia’nan to fall into the pit with her.

Thinking about it now, she was still frightened. If Prefectural Princess Jia’nan broke free from Miss at that time, the snake would have definitely attacked Miss, and then Miss would have…

“I’m fine!” Her legs were in pain, her body was sore, and her head was dizzy, especially her wrist where there was a dull pain, and if she was not careful, there would be a stinging pain. However, Wei Yuewu’s head was extremely clear. She walked out slowly with Huamo’s support. When she heard the sound of someone lifting the curtain behind her, her lips curved into a cold smile.

Seeing Wei Yuewu’s pale and weak face, Huamo did not dare to hesitate. She helped Wei Yuewu carefully move forward, afraid that it would trigger the injuries on her body.

“Sixth Miss Wei, please wait!” They had just arrived outside the courtyard when they suddenly heard the Fourth Prince’s voice.

Wei Yuewu stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look calmly at the Fourth Prince and Wen Ruoming who had hurriedly followed her out.

Just now, they were in Princess Nan’an’s room. Although the two of them had distinguished identities, it was inappropriate for them to speak. After all, it was a matter between the women in the backyard. Moreover, what Princess Nan’an had done could be considered quite impartial. Without saying anything, she sent Prefectural Princess Jia’nan away.

Therefore, these two were full of doubts!

Sometimes, the methods of the women in the backyard were not to be understood by the men in the front yard who thought they were smart enough to rule the world.

However, when her watery eyes swept across the corner of the wall on one side, she froze a little. There was a deep look in her eyes. The pink dress that was exposed actually looked somewhat familiar…

She knew that this self-righteous Prefectural Princess Jia’nan would not submit and be driven away so easily!

“Your Highness, Your Heir-apparent!” When they came forward, Wei Yuewu bowed sideways slightly. Her movements were magnanimous and appropriate, but anyone could see the stiffness when she bowed.

The Fourth Prince raised his eyes and looked at the graceful young lady before him. Her small face was exquisite like a flower of spring, but also like an orchid in an empty valley. It was as if there were two different styles, but they were contradictory and unified on her body, forming an aura that was both strange and attractive. For a moment, it made people feel that there was nothing in their eyes except her beautiful little face.

However, at this moment, her little face was with paleness and fluster. A strand of black hair dangled from her forehead. Although it was tucked behind her ears, it could be seen that her hair was dry. It was obvious that it happened when she fell down with Prefectural Princess Jia’nan just now.

Her wrists were tightly covered up by her sleeve, not revealing a single bit of them. But even so, the Fourth Prince knew that her delicate hands were still swollen.

He saw the two bruise marks just now. Even he felt painful when he saw them!

“Sixth Young Lady, what exactly was going on?” The Fourth Prince withdrew his gaze and said with a serious expression.

“I don’t know either!” Wei Yuewu lowered her head slightly to avoid the Fourth Prince’s burning gaze and said indifferently.

“Why would Jia’nan treat you like this? You have never met her before, have you?” The Fourth Prince frowned and said sternly. This was what he had always wanted to ask, but Princess Nan’an was his elder after all. With the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang’s Madam Dowager around, it was really inconvenient for him to ask about some things.

Speaking of which, the Fourth Prince’s feelings for Prefectural Princess Jia’nan were the fruit of them growing up together since their childhood. They were different from others. Although he had pushed her aside angrily just now, he still felt pity for her when he saw her being driven away.

Now, she was chased away not long after she entered the capital. It was really a shameful thing.

“I don’t know either. Perhaps… someone told her something!” Wei Yuewu smiled bitterly and shook her head. She turned her head to look at Wen Ruoming. He looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.

When Wen Ruoming saw Wei Yuewu staring at him, he frowned too. He thought for a while and a trace of anger rose on his face. There were some things that he really did not know without being enlightened. After Jia’nan came to the mansion, she was very close to Wei Fengyao, and Wei Fengyao was obviously not on good terms with her Sixth Younger Sister.

“And what happened to your Third Elder Sister?” Unable to find anything to ask, the Fourth Prince changed the topic.

“Third Elder Sister? What happened to Third Elder Sister?” Wei Yuewu asked in surprise.

“Why did your Third Elder Sister happen to find me and Ruoming at this time?” The Fourth Prince asked coldly. Now that he said this, he suddenly felt that Wei Yuewu was actually also suspicious. Could it be that Wei Yuewu was deliberately playing such a pitiful trick?

“What does Your Highness mean? Could it be that you think that I plotted against Prefectural Princess Jia’nan so you came to seek justice for her?” Seeing the cold expression on the Fourth Prince’s face, Wei Yuewu also pulled a long face. “I was in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. How would I know who Prefectural Princess Jia’nan was? And how would I know about that empty courtyard? Also, how did I make someone smear the scent of a snake repellent on Prefectural Princess Jia’nan?”

Wei Yuewu’s voice was very cold. Her appearance was also very weak, but her words were very straightforward and calm.

Her bright and beautiful eyes stared at the Fourth Prince, not avoiding him.

However, the corners of her eyes were filled with obvious anger. Anyone could see that she was really angry.

Well, it was reasonable for her to react like this because she was framed, but people actually suspected that she was the one who deliberately set up a trap to harm others. No matter who it was, it was impossible to take the blame without feeling annoyed.

Wei Yuewu’s anger at this time was extremely reasonable.

“I…” The Fourth Prince choked.

“Fourth Prince, did you think that it was such a coincidence that Third Elder Sister brought you and His Heir-apparent at such a time that you saw Prefectural Princess Jia’nan harming me, so I was the biggest beneficiary? But I wonder what exactly I benefited from such a trick. I have no enmity with Prefectural Princess Jia’nan, so why would I risk my life to harm her? Third Elder Sister indeed came at the right time. If I hadn’t grabbed Prefectural Princess Jia’nan tightly and fallen into the pit with her, I would have died after being bitten by the snake!”

Because Wei Yuewu was angry, she was not as polite as she usually was, and her words were a bit aggressive.

After she finished speaking, she did not even look at the Fourth Prince’s somewhat stiff face. After bowing sideways to him, she actually held Huamo’s hand, and just like that, she left under the Fourth Prince’s slightly awkward gaze.

“Sixth Miss Wei… Sixth…” Seeing the beauty leave, the Fourth Prince wanted to call out to her, but he felt that his tongue was tied, and he was very speechless.

He regretted doing what he had done to her. How could he have thought that Wei Yuewu deliberately framed Jia’nan? Everything she said just now was reasonable. No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible that she was the one who harmed Jia’nan.

“Your Highness, don’t ask anymore. It was the work of that evil person in the backyard!” Wen Ruoming stretched out his hand to stop him and said with a gloomy face.

He had been reminded by Wei Yuewu just now. When he thought about the situation in his family, how could he not understand? Now, he also recalled the situation when he welcomed the guests who had just arrived at the mansion in the morning. Wei Fengyao ignored the etiquette and directly called Wei Yuejiao over.

This Third Miss Wei was clearly incited by Wei Fengyao to do this. However, it seemed that this Third Miss Wei was not a good person either. Otherwise, she would not have helped Wei Fengyao to do such a thing.

“You mean it was done by the Heiress-apparent?” The Fourth Prince asked with a frown.

“Jia’nan and Your Highness have always been close. Jia’nan must have been egged on by her and then attacked Sixth Miss Wei. As for Third Miss Wei, I don’t think she is a good person. She must have planned to harm Sixth Miss Wei with that evil woman. I heard that the concubine of Marquis Hua Yang is the birth mother of Third Miss Wei, and she is not as good a person as the rumors say!”

Wen Ruoming snorted coldly. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Today was supposed to be a good day for him, but now it ended up in such a mess. Jia’nan was his cousin sister, and they had grown up together. Now, she had no choice but to be driven away by Mother Consort.

“If that heiress-apparent of yours is not still recovering from injuries, I will definitely report her to Mother Empress to punish her well!” At this time, the Fourth Prince also understood the cause and effect of the matter, and he said angrily, “She talked so much nonsense in front of Jia’nan, causing Jia’nan to be driven away, Sixth Miss Wei to be injured, and Third Miss Wei to meddle in this. All the things that happened were caused by your heiress-apparent!”

“I…” Wen Ruoming couldn’t say anything as he was being chided. He hated Wei Fengyao more and more. It was originally a good day, but now it had become like this. It was clear they wanted to make him unhappy.

“I’m going to divorce her!”

“Go ahead and try!” The Fourth Prince understood the meaning of Wei Fengyao’s existence. He sneered, flicked his sleeves, and directly headed to the outer courtyard. Wen Ruoming stomped his feet in anger and chased after him.

Prefectural Princess Jia’nan walked out from the corner the moment they had just left. The reason why she stayed here was that she was angry with Princess Nan’an’s decision. She decided to stay and ask Wei Yuewu why she pinched her and why she pulled her down together.

However, she did not expect to hear such words. She looked coldly in the direction where Wei Yuewu had disappeared before turning to Wei Fengyao in the backyard. She gritted her teeth and said, “Let’s go!”
