Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 183 – Master Fenghe, A Refined Safety Talisman

“Yueya, why are you here?” Wei Yuewu looked at Yueya in front of her, and her eyes were slightly raised as she said indifferently.

Originally, Yueya was looking around outside and she was shocked when Jin Ling suddenly grabbed her. At this time, she had recovered and she hurriedly bowed to Wei Yuewu and explained, “Greetings, Sixth Young Lady. Our Miss sent me over to see you because she heard that Sixth Young Lady was frightened before.”

“Your Miss asked you to come over. Why did you just walk around outside?” Jin Ling asked with an unfriendly expression.

“I… I was afraid that the Sixth Young Lady was having a rest, so… so I was wondering if I should come back later.” Yueya said anxiously.

Jin Ling still wanted to ask, but Wei Yuewu smiled and waved her hand, “Did Fifth Elder Sister just ask you to come and see if I was alright?”

“Not only that, there’s also this. Our Miss went to the temple to ask for it some time ago. She said that it was blessed and can bring good fortune. Our Miss asked me to deliver it to Sixth Young Lady. She said that you have been in a lot of trouble recently and this item might be good for your safety.” Yueya carefully took out a small and exquisite box from her pocket and handed it over.

Shufei took it over and handed it to Wei Yuewu.

Wei Yuewu received the box and opened it. Seeing that there was an exquisite safety talisman inside, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. Recently, she received quite a few “gifts” of kindness: Wei Yuejiao gave her a sachet, and now Wei Qiuju gave her a safety talisman.

“Is this safety talisman your Miss’?” She closed the box and placed it beside her, her watery eyes slightly shined as she quietly asked.

“Yes, our Miss went to the temple to ask for it last time. Originally, she wanted to send it to Fourth Young Lady, but Fourth Young Lady…” Yueya paused for a moment before skipping the topic. “Our Miss asked me to bring it over to you. She said that it might ensure your safety.”

Since Wei Qiufu had plotted against Wei Qiuju, the relationship between the two of them would naturally not be as harmonious as before. It was understandable that this safety talisman was not given to Wei Qiufu.

But the problem was that Wei Qiuju didn’t send this talisman to her when she fell off the stage. But after she went to Wei Fengyao’s courtyard, she immediately sent this to her!

Moreover, at this time, Wei Qiuju was hardly able to save herself, so how would she be in the mood to care about the safety of others. Wei Qiuju had never been such a person who wholeheartedly cared for others!

“In that case, thank your Miss for me.” Wei Yuewu nodded and smiled.

After Yueya left, Wei Yuewu opened the box again and carefully examined it. The safety talisman was actually very ordinary. It was no different from ordinary safety talismans. The only difference was that there was a very small mark in its corner.

The red mark had two characters that read Fenghe.

“Miss, is there something wrong with this safety talisman?” Shufei couldn’t help but ask when she saw that Wei Yuewu had been flipping through the safety talisman.

“This safety talisman has a mark on it. It is not something an ordinary person can ask for.” A trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, but she smiled. It was indeed not an ordinary safety talisman.

“It is impossible for Wei Qiuju to obtain such a safety talisman!”

“Why is Fifth Young Lady unable to obtain it? Could it be that she was extremely pious so that she succeeded in obtaining a precious safety talisman?” Huamo asked in confusion.

“No matter how pious she was, she wouldn’t succeed!” Wei Yuewu raised her eyebrows. Master Fenghe wasn’t someone who would easily meet people. Even Yan Huaijing rarely had a chance to be received by him, let alone Wei Qiuju.

“Miss, I went to keep an eye on Fifth Young Lady. After staying in Eldest Young Lady’s courtyard for a while, Fifth Young Lady left. She talked to Yueya on their way back and then she drove Yueya away halfway. She went back to her courtyard by herself. When I returned, I saw Yueya wandering at the entrance of our courtyard and I pulled her in.”

Jin Ling gave a brief account of her findings.

“So, this box had been carried by Wei Qiuju, but she forgot it and only remembered it later?” Wei Yuewu laughed out of anger. Needless to say, this was Wei Fengyao’s trick. It was also a favor Wei Qiuju did for Wei Fengyao by “sending” the safety talisman to her. If it were sent in the name of Wei Fengyao, she would definitely not accept it, or she would not wear it even if she accepted it.

However, if it were sent by Wei Qiuju, who had a good relationship with her, the meaning would be different.

Wei Fengyao was indeed good at scheming. At the same time, she had also seen through Wei Qiuju’s selfish mentality of not caring about others’ life and death as long as she herself was fine.

“Miss, is Fifth Young Lady going to collude with someone again to harm you?” Jin Ling and Shufei looked at each other and asked.

The word “again” indicated the number of times Wei Qiuju had tried to harm Wei Yuewu.

Wei Yuewu’s lips curled into a brilliant smile. “Jin Ling, tear this safety talisman slightly broken.”

Since Wei Qiuju wanted to cooperate with Wei Fengyao so much, she would definitely help her. As for Wei Fengyao’s intention of reaping fruit from both sides, well…

“Miss, you wanted me to tear it?” Jin Ling didn’t understand for a moment and she took the safety talisman in a daze.

“Tear a hole in it.” Wei Yuewu smiled.

“Yes!” Even though Jin Ling didn’t understand Wei Yuewu’s plan for the moment, she still managed to tear a hole in the safety talisman. Her strength was extremely great, and the safety talisman seemed to be torn apart by something, and a corner of it fell off.

“Miss, this is a safety talisman! Could this bring bad…” Huamo worriedly looked at the safety talisman that had been torn off half a corner.

Wei Yuewu blinked mischievously, “Yes, this is a safety talisman. Furthermore, it’s a safety talisman that Wei Qiuju just gave me. But now that you accidentally broke it, what should I do?”

“Miss!” Huamo was so scared that she shivered. Her face turned pale as she shouted anxiously.

“Jin Ling, tear the corner of Huamo’s skirt a little broken.” Wei Yuewu ordered.

At this time, Jin Ling seemed to have understood and did not hesitate. She gestured to give the broken safety talisman to Huamo. When Huamo reached out to take it, she pulled up a corner of her skirt. With another “hiss”, the corner of Huamo’s skirt was torn.

“Huamo, take this safety talisman and find Nurse Mei to think of a way.” Wei Yuewu smiled sweetly at the startled and dumbfounded Huamo.

Of course, Nurse Mei was also transferred out. She was the nurse-in-charge of Wei Yuewu’s courtyard, so she was busier than others now. No one knew where she was at the moment.

“Jin Ling, you go with Huamo. When you look for Nurse Mei, you can take a detour and walk around the Third Young Lady’s courtyard. Maybe Nurse Mei is over there.” Wei Yuewu said smilingly.

Huamo was actually not stupid, she was just a bit timid. She blinked her eyes and immediately understood. She tightened her grip on the safety talisman in her hand and hurriedly nodded, “Miss, don’t worry. I’ll go find Nurse Mei to think of a way. This is such an important thing, but I accidentally broke it. How could I have the mood to stay here and wait on Miss?”

Huamo even laughed at her own smart words.

After that, Shufei stayed behind, and Jin Ling and Huamo left the courtyard in a hurry.

Seeing the two maids leave, the smile on Wei Yuewu’s face became brighter and brighter. Since Wei Qiuju was happily following Wei Fengyao’s instructions, Wei Fengyao must have agreed to help her solve the problem. However, if Wei Qiuju succeeded in clearing her name, Wei Yuejiao would be in trouble. Therefore, gossips should be spread out in a while!

By then, it would be her turn to step on the stage…

Wei Yuejiao was angry in her own courtyard.

Of course, the target of her anger was Wei Yuewu. Thinking that Wei Yuewu had actually turned the table against her by not only clearing her own name but also making her a suspect and laughing joke, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth in hatred. How dared Wei Yuewu, an abandoned cheap girl, actually make her fall into such an embarrassing situation!

She thought back to the time when she met the Fourth Prince and Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State. That handsome heir who looked like an exiled immortal actually didn’t even look at her. It must be because he had heard rumors about her. Otherwise, with her talent and appearance, how could the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State not cast several looks at her?

Fortunately, Wei Fengyao offered a helping hand to her. Otherwise, she would really be defeated by that bitch.

“Miss, Miss!” Yuzhu rushed in and shouted.

“What is it?” Wei Yuejiao said impatiently. She was now full of anger.

“I just heard that the two maids of the Sixth Young Lady were looking for the nurse-in-charge of their courtyard. They were now heading for our courtyard.” Seeing that Wei Yuejiao was unhappy, Yuzhu hurriedly replied.

“Just let them look for her. What does it have to do with me?” Wei Yuejiao was filled with displeasure.

“Miss, coincidentally, I was right behind them at that time. I heard them say that the Eldest Young Lady asked the Fifth Young Lady to deliver a safety talisman to the Sixth Young Lady. However, the safety talisman was broken by the maid named Huamo. That’s why the two maids were so anxious to find their nurse-in-charge to think of a way.” Yuzhu reported.

At that time, she even took a closer look and saw that the corner of Huamo’s skirt was torn. Therefore, what they said must be true. That Huamo was so scared that she didn’t even have time to change her skirt.

Hearing that Wei Fengyao was mentioned, Wei Yuejiao was stunned for a moment and asked anxiously, “The safety talisman was delivered by Wei Qiuju at the request of the Eldest Young Lady?”

“Yes, I heard the two of them say that. That maid named Huamo was so scared that she almost cried. That maid called Jin Ling was bold and she told Huamo not to worry. She said that they could find their nurse-in-charge to think of a way later.”

“She actually asked Wei Qiuju to send Wei Yuewu a safety talisman!” Wei Yuejiao was furious and slammed her hand heavily on the table.

Of course, what she cared about was not this safety talisman, but Wei Fengyao’s attitude. There was obviously an agreement between the two of them. How could Wei Fengyao get so close to Wei Qiuju and Wei Yuewu in such a short while? Could it be that Wei Fengyao wanted to step on two boats and curry favor on both sides?

“Let’s go find Eldest Sister.” How would Wei Yuejiao be the kind of person who was willing to become someone else’s stepping stone? She was immediately enraged. She stood up and walked out. She wanted to ask Wei Fengyao in person what was going on.

“Yes!” Yuzhu received the order and hurriedly followed behind Wei Yuejiao to Wei Fengyao’s courtyard. They had just reached the courtyard entrance when they met Jinzhu, who was running with sweat all over her head.

“Miss, bad news. There are now rumors about whether it was you or the Fifth Young Lady who hung out with the lad servant at that time. Everyone is saying that it must be you or the Fifth Young Lady. They also said that because you lied at the banquet, it was more likely you.” Jinzhu wiped the sweat off her head and finished speaking in one breath.

Previously, she had been inquiring about the rumors outside. She had heard that most people had targeted Wei Qiuju as a suspect and she secretly felt happy for her Miss. However, who would have thought that things would actually change? As the rumors went on, people actually talked about her Miss. Furthermore, they vaguely indicated that both her Miss and the Fifth Young Lady might be the person.

Whoever got involved in this kind of dishonorable matter would be unlucky. Previously, the Fifth Young Lady had been the one to take the blame. But now, Jinzhu noticed that something was wrong. She hurriedly returned to report it to Wei Yuejiao for her to make up her mind.

Before hearing Jinzhu’s report, Wei Yuejiao couldn’t figure out the reason for a while. However, she got the whole picture and found the connection between different parts of it. Her face turned green with anger and her expression was ferocious. Needless to say, there must be an agreement between Wei Qiuju and Wei Fengyao. Wei Fengyao actually helped Wei Qiuju clear her name.

“Wei Fengyao, good for you!” Wei Yuejiao gritted her teeth tightly, her fingers trembling slightly as she sneered.

The matter at the banquet in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was really full of dramatic developments.

In the beginning, rumors had it that Sixth Miss Wei did an indecent thing. When people saw Sixth Miss Wei appear in front of everyone, they guessed that it was Third Miss Wei. After that, someone confirmed that Third Miss Wei left the banquet for some justifiable reason, and the suspect became Fifth Miss Wei. It was said that this unknown Fifth Miss Wei was the person who hung around with a lad servant.

But in the end, when the guests were leaving, someone actually said it was Third Miss Wei and even cited the fact that she had lied as proof.

As rumors kept fermenting, people didn’t know who was right and who was wrong. Some people thought it was Third Miss Wei, while others thought it was Fifth Miss Wei. Everyone at the banquet held their own opinion for a while, but they weren’t deadly sure who it was.

However, there was one thing that was certain. One of the two young ladies had definitely behaved indecently. If any young man wanted to marry one of them, he had to think about it carefully.

In the Tranquility Courtyard.

The Madam Dowager glared at Wei Fengyao with a livid expression and slapped her hand heavily on the table. “Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an, right? Shall I bow to you and ask you to manage our mansion?”

Those words were too serious for Wei Fengyao to remain seated. She stood up and knelt on the ground with a plop. “Why did Grandmother say such words? Aren’t you going to kill Fengyao? What did Fengyao do to make Grandmother so angry? Grandmother, tell me and I will absolutely correct my mistakes!”

Even though she was the Heiress-apparent of Prince Nan’an, in front of the Madam Dowager, she was only her granddaughter. The principle of filial piety was enough to make her lower her head.

“Your Heiress-apparent, what are you saying? I really don’t dare to let you do anything. You’ve messed up our mansion of Marquis Hua Yang since you came back. If you did anything else, I am afraid the reputations of your younger sisters would be completely ruined!”

The Madam Dowager snorted coldly.
