Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 212 – Accident, Who Pushed Whom

When their father asked Wei Yuewu about her clothes, Wei Yuejiao believed that she would definitely tell him about how Wei Yuewu changed clothes inside the carriage, so that the entire capital would be laughing at Wei Yuewu.

But in the next moment, Wei Yuejiao was stunned when she found that Wei Yuewu was wearing another outer coat inside the one that had become dirty. Wei Yuejiao wondered if Wei Yuewu knew how to dress properly and if there was something wrong with Wei Yuewu’s brain.

However, Wei Yuejiao only frowned slightly and despised Wei Yuewu for a moment. She didn’t bother caring too much about this. She believed that Wei Yuewu didn’t know how to dress properly. But this was also helpful for Wei Yuejiao because this could at least let their father know which daughter was more decent.

Wei Yuejiao could see at a glance that Wei Yuewu’s outer coat was made of rough materials.

Wei Yuejiao didn’t carefully look at the dress Concubine Dong had given her. Right now, all her attention was focused on Wei Yuewu’s outer coat. Therefore, she didn’t find out that the coat Wei Yuewu was now wearing was exactly the coarse dress she had given Wei Yuewu. She only felt that it was a bit strange.

Was this an old dress of Wei Yuewu? One could see at the first glance that its material was quite rough! It couldn’t even compare with the clothes worn by a maidservant. What a poor dress!

But before Wei Yuejiao could think any further, Wei Yuewu had already said, “Third Elder Sister, please kindly lend me the hairpin on your head. I had some fragments of leaves in my hair that need to be cleared away!”

Wei Yuewu’s words quickly deviated Wei Yuejiao’s attention from the dress. Wei Yuejiao widened her eyes and said angrily, “You have hairpins on your head. Why are you borrowing mine?”

“The hairpins on my head are holding my hair in position. If my hair falls off, I will look terrible and cannot meet our father. Third Elder Sister, you have many hairpins on your head. Just take the hairpin in the front. Anyway, that strand of your hair is relatively shorter and it doesn’t matter even if falls directly in front of your forehead.”

Some of Wei Yuejiao’s hair was cut by the sword of Yan Huaijing’s guard. Today, she did wear two extra hairpins in order to hold that short strand of hair in position.

This was Wei Yuejiao’s biggest embarrassment. When Wei Yuewu mentioned this, she immediately felt shameful and indignant. Her face blushed and she looked at Wei Yuewu with hatred. She wished she could immediately tear Wei Yuewu apart! As a result, her attention was completely diverted from Wei Yuewu’s dress.

Wei Yuejiao didn’t even notice that after Huamo kicked most of the leaves off the carriage, Huamo even properly folded the dress that Wei Yuewu had been wearing and put it inside the empty bag.

After Wei Yuewu took off the dress, Huamo shook it hard to remove most of the broken leaves from the dress. No one would notice any broken leaves on the dress at a glance.

“You… bitch. I have every means to punish you. Just wait and see how I’m going to tear your mouth apart when I go back to the mansion!” Wei Yuejiao cursed.

Wei Yuejiao cared much about the matter. It was indeed an extreme insult and humiliation for Wei Yuejiao to have her hair cut off in public by the guard of the man on whom she had a crush. Such an insult and humiliation made Wei Yuejiao totally forget all of Concubine Dong’s instructions.

This indeed felt like stabbing a knife into her heart!

Seeing that Wei Yuejiao was about to lose her temper, Yuzhu hurriedly pulled her back and kept comforting her in a low voice. As a result, Yuzhu forgot to pay attention to what Huamo was doing.

“Third Elder Sister, we are now on the street, not in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. I doubt if you really have the ability to tear my mouth apart.” Wei Yuewu squinted and looked at Wei Yuejiao coldly.

“Wei Yuewu!” Wei Yuejiao shouted angrily, “What a wild countryside girl you are to dare to say this to me!”

Wei Yuejiao was extremely angry, so her voice became quite loud. Their carriage was exactly parked in front of the teahouse, which was located near the city gate and had numerous guests every day. Today, more people were coming in and out of the city gate. The carriage of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was already enough to catch many people’s attention. But now the carriage became even more eye-catching when people heard a woman cursing angrily in the carriage.

Many people couldn’t help but pause to watch the farce.

In the tall building, Yan Huaijing stood up and stopped in front of the window with his hands folded behind his back. His gaze fell on the fleet of carriages outside the city gate. It seemed that Marquis Hua Yang was entering the capital.

Hearing the angry curse of Wei Yuejiao below, Yan Huaijing showed a meaningful look in his eyes. His usual gentle smile immediately disappeared and his unworldly handsome face took on a cold and awe-inspiring air.

“Who else is down there?”

“The Third Young Lady from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang should be there as well.” Yan Huaijing’s close attendant respectfully answered while lowering his head. The attendant had already ordered someone to learn more about that carriage because he knew that the heir-apparent was going to ask about it later.

Inside the carriage, Wei Yuewu was listening to the commotion outside while talking to Wei Yuejiao. At this moment, Wei Yuejiao’s attention was completely focused on Wei Yuewu, so it was naturally impossible for her to notice what happened outside the carriage.

A passer-by in ordinary dress casually walked past the carriage of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. He seemed to be muttering to himself, “Look at this fleet of carriages! The owner must be an important official. With so many carriages here, there must be more followers coming back with him.”

He uttered those words as if he was exclaiming and talking to himself. Therefore, few people would notice him. After those words, he quickly passed by the carriage and disappeared into the crowd without looking back.

But Wei Yuewu in the carriage heard his words clearly. The passer-by was Yan Feng, whom she had ordered to keep an eye on the street. Those words of Yan Feng were a signal to her that her father was about to enter the city gate.

The corners of her lips curled into a sharp sneer. Concubine Dong had murdered her mother. This time, Concubine Dong was once again planning to climb higher by stepping on her. Well, this Concubine Dong really had a perfect plan.

“Why didn’t I dare to say those words to you? You are merely a concubine-born daughter. Do you think you can become a legitimate daughter nobler than me?” Wei Yuewu raised her eyebrows and said softly.

However, no matter how softly Wei Yuewu spoke, her words were enough to make Wei Yuejiao tremble with anger. Wei Yuejiao couldn’t help but blurt out, “You bitch! Why can’t I be nobler than you? I’ll soon become a noble legitimate daughter. You are nothing in my eyes. By then, you would have to kneel on the ground and beg me as long as I ask you to do that.”

At this moment, Wei Yuejiao was so furious that she couldn’t control her loud voice. Her words made everyone on the street speechless. Everyone could see that the concubine-born daughter in the carriage was more arrogant than the legitimate daughter and that the family rules of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang were indeed going against social traditions.

The mansion of Marquis Hua Yang’s fleet of carriages slowly entered the city gate…

Inside the carriage, Wei Luowen, Marquis Hua Yang was sitting in front of a writing desk, holding a file in his hand and casually reading it.

Wei Luowen was a middle-aged man in his forties. At first glance, everyone would be shocked by his look, where an old wound across his cheek. The wound made him look more ferocious. The wound went from his eyebrows to his nose and finally stopped at the corner of his lips, spanning almost his entire face.

Such a face would frighten a timid person to tears.

However, with a closer look, one could see that Wei Luowen’s facial features were in fact extremely delicate. Without the wound, he should be a handsome and elegant middle-aged man.

“Lord Marquis, we are about to arrive in the capital. The Madam Dowager said Yuejiao and the Sixth Young Lady would be here to greet us. They should be waiting for us here at the moment!” Concubine Dong seated beside the Marquis said with a smile when she looked out of the window.

She was a woman in her thirties. She was very beautiful. With a faint smile, she looked quite charming.

Wei Luowen frowned and said unhappily, “There’s no need to ask them to especially come here to greet us. We’ll meet them at the mansion!”

“My Lord, you are right. But Yuejiao has always been missing you.” Concubine Dong smiled kindly, but she didn’t mention Wei Yuewu.

The implication of her words was clear: Wei Yuejiao missed Wei Luowen very much even after a few days of separation. However, Wei Yuewu didn’t miss him even after several years of separation. Concubine Dong’s words were a clear reminder for Wei Luowen which of the two daughters was more attached to him.

But it was also reasonable for Concubine Dong to speak like that because after all, Concubine Dong had never met Wei Yuewu before. Therefore, she couldn’t say for sure that Wei Yuewu missed Wei Luowen.

“Lord Marquis, the carriage of the two young ladies is right in the front.” A guard reported as he saw a carriage of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang parked along the road.

“Drive closer and take a look!” Wei Luowen said calmly. Even Concubine Dong didn’t notice the slightest emotional change in his eyes as he held the book tighter and tighter.

The carriage turned and drove towards the teahouse. Concubine Dong pulled up the curtain first and shouted to the carriage at the side, “Yuejiao, Sixth Young Lady, come here and meet your father.”

Concubine Dong was quite cautious with her words. By addressing Wei Yuewu as Sixth Young Lady, Concubine Dong showed her respect to Wei Yuewu. After a while, when Wei Yuewu showed up with the gorgeous dress she had made whereas her own daughter showed up with that poor dress, everyone could see the sharp contrast between their dresses. In this way, people would have a good impression of both her and Wei Yuejiao, and they would also have a bad impression of Wei Yuewu. Then, it would be easier for her to successfully perform her next plot.

However, in the next moment, the smile on her face froze.

“Bitch! Ah… ” Wei Yuejiao’s angry curse could be heard from the carriage, followed by a sharp scream. Before anyone could realize, two figures fell off the carriage.

“Third Young Lady, don’t push the Sixth Young Lady!” A young maidservant cried out in alarm when the two figures were falling down.

Huamo hugged Wei Yuewu tightly and she tried her best to stop Wei Yuewu from hitting the ground. Having been prepared in advance, she was now curling up her body to protect Wei Yuewu.

Fortunately, there was a thick layer of leaves under the carriage. Although Huamo was the first one hitting the ground, she was on guard and the accident didn’t hurt her bones.

Yan Huaijing stood in front of the window and looked at the situation coldly. Then, his unfathomable gaze fell on the face of Concubine Dong who was no longer to maintain her smile.

Yan Huaijing’s close attendant was quite nervous as he kept his head low and stood behind Yan Huaijing.

His heir-apparent seldom got angry. But now it seemed that Yan Huaijing was angry. He wondered what the heir-apparent had seen that even the heir-apparent’s usual gentle smile had disappeared.

The gently smiling heir-apparent was already scary enough, but the heir-apparent with a cold face was even more horrible!

Yan Huaijing’s close attendant carefully retreated several steps.

“How outrageous! It wasn’t the Third Young Lady who pushed the Sixth Young Lady, but the opposite…” Concubine Dong had a quick reaction and immediately scolded upon realizing the dress made of coarse cloth.

However, in the next moment, Concubine Dong was stunned as she kept looking at Wei Yuewu’s raised face. That face almost overlapped the face in her memory. Such eyebrows looked exactly the same as the former Marquise Hua Yang.

That face was filled with the same indifference as its owner looked at Concubine Dong coldly. Even if Concubine Dong was kneeling at her feet, she didn’t bother looking at Concubine Dong as if Concubine Dong was just an inconspicuous piece of dust.

Ever since then, Concubine Dong had sworn that she would definitely trample that beautiful woman under her feet. One day, she would finally take her place and become the real Marquise.

Facts also proved how successful her scheme was. Even though Concubine Dong had not yet officially become the Marquise after so many years, she would soon become the new Marquise because the Marquis had already allowed all the servants in the mansion to call her Madam in their mansion at the border.

“This is our Sixth Young Lady. The Third Young Lady is still inside the carriage! She not only cursed our Sixth Young Lady but also pushed the Sixth Young Lady out of the carriage.” Huamo said angrily, trying her best to stand up. She then immediately went to help Wei Yuewu stand up from the ground as soon as she stood up.

“Mother!” Wei Yuejiao never expected that Wei Yuewu would suddenly be pushed out of the carriage. So, she subconsciously put her head out of the carriage and looked around. She immediately found Concubine Dong and happily got off the carriage while happily greeting her mother.

Instantly, her gorgeous dress caught the attention of everyone else and it formed a sharp contrast with Wei Yuewu’s dress made of coarse cloth. Everyone started to look at Wei Yuejiao with disdain when they remembered how Wei Yuejiao cursed Wei Yuewu angrily and pushed her off the carriage.

How could a concubine-born daughter dress much better than a legitimate daughter? Moreover, the concubine-born daughter even dared to beat and scold a legitimate daughter. This was enough to show how arrogant this Third Young Lady was.

Wei Yuewu stood up with the support of Huamo and landed her gaze on Concubine Dong’s face. At this moment, she asked doubtfully. “Concubine Dong?”
