Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 274 – A Tale Of Foot Injury

“You cheap slave…” Seeing that Huamo really came over with two cushions, Wei Yuejiao raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry.

“Third Young Lady!” Concubine Dong interrupted her loudly.

At this time, Huamo had already walked up to Concubine Dong and bowed to Concubine Dong and Wei Yuejiao respectfully. “Concubine Dong, our young lady just returned to the mansion. She heard that something happened in the mansion today, and you were even punished by the Madam Dowager. She was afraid that you would get injured after kneeling for a long time, so she asked me to bring two cushions over for you.”

Huamo smiled and handed over the two cushions in her hands.

The two old maidservants who followed behind Concubine Dong looked at each other and finally landed their gazes on Concubine Dong, not daring to receive the cushions.

Wei Yuejiao had never been humiliated like this. She was so angry that her face turned red. Her lips trembled and she could not speak for a moment. Her hearing was good and she actually heard the laughter of two young maids not far away.

“Tell that cheap…”

“Give my thanks to the Sixth Young Lady. Tell her that I appreciate her kindness. Otherwise, I might really get injured.” Concubine Dong raised her voice and said coldly. She motioned the two old maidservants beside her to receive the cushions and glared at Wei Yuejiao.

“Yes, Concubine Dong. Then I will go back now. Our young lady also hurt her foot in Li Mansion today. She can’t get up now!” Huamo handed over the cushions and said.

“Sixth Young Lady injured her foot? Is it serious?” Concubine Dong asked calmly.

It seemed that Lady Li had made her move this time, but why did she only injure that slut in the foot? Didn’t she say that slut would definitely be ruined this time?

“She just accidentally twisted her foot. There is nothing serious!” Huamo answered with a smile.

Concubine Dong was stunned and asked, “Then… did anything happen to Li Mansion?”

“Nothing. It’s just that our young lady was not feeling well and came back early with the Second Master.” Huamo answered with a confused look.

Before Concubine Dong could ask again, Huamo had already left in a hurry, saying that Doctor Ming was coming to take a look at Wei Yuewu’s injured foot.

As Huamo left in a hurry, Concubine Dong’s expression turned cold. Wei Yuewu had only slightly injured her foot and nothing serious happened in Li Mansion. Did this mean Lady Li blew it again?

Wei Yuejiao knew a little about the inside story. By now, she had calmed down. She grabbed Concubine Dong’s sleeve and asked anxiously, “Concubine, what happened to that slut?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Concubine Dong glared at her fiercely and swept her gaze around.

There were quite a lot of maids and old maidservants watching the fun today. Previously, Concubine Dong had been pointed at by the servants all the way as she went to the Madam Dowager’s courtyard. After Wei Yuejiao made such a big fuss, more people stopped and watched them.

This was something that had never happened before. Everyone knew that Concubine Dong was most likely to become Marquise Hua Yang, and no one would dare to provoke her.

But the situation today was different. Concubine Dong had been punished by the Madam Dowager. The meaning behind this was enough to make the servants look at Concubine Dong differently.

“Let’s go!” This place was still close to the Madam Dowager’s Tranquility Courtyard. Concubine Dong didn’t want anything to happen here. She whispered to Wei Yuejiao and turned around to leave.

Although Wei Yuejiao was unbridled, she knew that this was not the place to talk. She followed behind Concubine Dong and went to Concubine Dong’s courtyard.

After sitting down in the room, Wei Yuejiao could not wait to speak, “Concubine, that slut Wei Yuewu is going really way too far. She actually dares to send cushions to you. What does she want to do? Is she afraid that others do not know you have been punished?”

Thinking of the scene of Huamo sending the cushions over, Wei Yuejiao was so angry that her face turned green. She slammed her hand heavily on the table. She had never suffered such grievances in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

“Yuejiao, you have to calm down. She’s doing so particularly to provoke you!” Concubine Dong’s face was extremely gloomy, but she could still control her emotions. “Don’t be provoked by her into doing something similar to what you did at the entrance of the city gate. Otherwise, others would say bad things about you!”

Concubine Dong had already asked Wei Yuejiao about the matter at the city gate. Of course, she believed Wei Yuejiao’s words more.

“Concubine, are you going to let her laugh at you for nothing? What will the people in the mansion think of you?” Wei Yuejiao said, unconvinced.

“Of course, I won’t let a little girl like her gain the upper hand for nothing. Go back first and stay in your courtyard. Don’t cause any more trouble and make me suffer with you. The Madam Dowager also said that you are grounded now. Remember not to get into conflict with anyone in the mansion. Everything will be fine after this period of time!”

Concubine Dong suppressed the anger in her heart and said to Wei Yuejiao sincerely and earnestly. She was still working on her next big plan. At this time, of course, she would try her best to avoid being implicated in unnecessary troubles, especially those caused by Wei Yuejiao. As long as something happened to Wei Yuejiao, she would inevitably be implicated.

Wei Yuejiao finally calmed down and listened to Concubine Dong’s advice. She said in a wronged tone, “Yes, I got it! Mother, be quick with your actions!” A trace of hatred flashed through her eyes. In order to trample Wei Yuewu under her feet in the future, she had to be patient.

“Did you send that sachet over?” Concubine Dong was very pleased with Wei Yuejiao’s obedience. She stood up and stroked her hair, her expression calming down.

“It was sent long ago. On the day we entered the mansion, I mixed the sachet in a pile of gifts sent to her. Wei Yuewu would definitely not find anything unusual. Concubine, you really had the foresight to send the sachet to her back then. If it was sent to her now, she would definitely become suspicious.” Wei Yuejiao proudly raised her neck. “That bitch definitely won’t find out about this.”

“That’s good. Go back first. Remember not to cause any more trouble. You are not allowed to cause any trouble with the Fourth Young Lady. If the Fourth Young Lady enters the Crown Prince Mansion in the future, her status would be far more superior to ours!” Concubine Dong was afraid that Wei Yuejiao would still remember the grudge with Wei Qiufu, so she reminded her again.

“Concubine, don’t worry. I won’t have any dispute with her. However, who knows what kind of identity she will have when she enters the Crown Prince Mansion. It is still early for her to put on airs now!” Wei Yuejiao snorted coldly. She was very dissatisfied with the Madam Dowager helping Wei Qiufu. She reached out and grabbed Concubine Dong’s hand. She pouted and said, “Concubine, don’t worry. I will have a better marriage than Wei Qiufu in the future!”

Wei Yuejiao inexplicably thought of that peerlessly handsome man and her face turned red. If she could marry him, it was definitely her dream coming true. Not only was he handsome, but he was also extremely powerful.

So what if Wei Qiufu married the Crown Prince? Even the Crown Prince couldn’t interfere in the matters of the State of Yan!

Concubine Dong did not notice Wei Yuejiao’s abnormality and thought that she was just saying it casually. “Alright, alright. In the future, I will pick a nice young man for you. You go back first. Remember what I said. Don’t bother about the Sixth Young Lady. I have a plan to deal with her!”

At this time, Wei Yuejiao naturally wouldn’t tell Concubine Dong about her “dream”. She shyly left Concubine Dong’s courtyard.

“Have you found a suitable fengshui master?” Concubine Dong asked in a low voice.

“I am looking for one. There should be news soon.” Nanny Dong knew that Concubine Dong was asking about the news that Nanny Hong had come to deliver. She lowered her voice and said, “We must find a fengshui master who is both well-known and prestigious so that the Madam Dowager and Lord Marquis would believe in him.”

“Nanny Dong, hurry up and get this done as soon as possible. Now, go and ask around to find out if something happened to the Second Lady.” After Wei Yuejiao left, Concubine Dong sat down again. When she heard that the matter had yet to be settled, her expression became even colder.

“Do you want me to see the Second Lady now?” Nanny Dong’s heart skipped a beat as she asked in a low voice.

“Yes, just say that you are sending a gift to the old lady of Li Mansion on behalf of me.” Concubine Dong nodded. In fact, she had thought of this reason before Wei Yuewu went to Li Mansion. With this as an excuse, she could send Nanny Dong to Li Mansion and inquire whether Lady Li’s plan succeeded or not.

She was really satisfied with her foresight.

“Yes, I know. If the Second Lady gets angry…” Nanny Dong hesitated for a moment. Last time, the Second Lady was quite angry and spoke harsh words.

“It’s fine. Just say hello to her for me!” Concubine Dong said in a low voice. Something must have happened in Li Mansion. Otherwise, Wei Yuewu would not have the guts to provoke her.

This time, Nanny Dong didn’t dare to say anything and she hurried to the back door.

She came back quickly. Not long after, she was back with a piece of news that shocked Concubine Dong. Lady Li had broken her leg and would probably not be able to stand up for the rest of her life. In order to prevent Lady Li’s leg injury from worsening, she must rest quietly to recuperate. Therefore, she would stay in Li Mansion to recover.

When Concubine Dong heard this news, she walked around her room a few rounds before sending Nanny Dong out on another mission. This time, Nanny Dong did not go anywhere else. She just stayed at the intersection near the courtyard where Wei Yuewu lived…

Doctor Ming had already arrived at the mansion. It was not just because Huamo had gone to invite him, but because the Madam Dowager sent for him after hearing that Wei Yuewu’s foot was injured. Just as Doctor Ming was on his way, he met Huamo, who then led him to Lotus Courtyard.

Wei Yuewu’s foot had been treated before, but the Madam Dowager said that she was worried and asked Doctor Ming to come over again. Wei Yuewu naturally understood what the Madam Dowager meant: she did not trust her.

Fortunately, she had thought about this and taken the pain to twist her foot. Therefore, she didn’t care about the Madam Dowager’s suspicion.

Previously, Wei Luowu had also suspected her. Now, the Madam Dowager also suspected her. It was all because it was too much of a coincidence that she appeared in that courtyard and at that time. Fortunately, she had a plan to convince them.

Wei Yuewu called in Doctor Ming, who was waiting outside after applying medicine to her foot, and asked softly, “Doctor Ming, is my injury very serious?”

“Sixth Young Lady, although your injury is not too serious, you were injured in a critical position. I’m afraid that you can’t get up for a while and need to rest quietly to recuperate!” After what happened last time, Doctor Ming was more frightened of Wei Yuewu. He was afraid that Wei Yuewu would report him to Marquis Hua Yang. Others had no evidence against him, but Wei Yuewu did. At this time, of course, he understood Wei Yuewu’s intention and exaggerated her injury.

“Then I will have to trouble Doctor Ming to explain it to grandmother for me.” Wei Yuewu nodded in satisfaction and smiled, “If there are others who also want to know about my injury, you can just say the same to them!”

“Others?” Doctor Ming did not understand whom Wei Yuewu was referring to.

Wei Yuewu smiled slightly but did not say anything. Jin Ling, who was at the side, stepped forward and said with a smile, “Doctor Ming, don’t care about who will ask. No matter who it is, you just need to tell the truth. Tell them that our young lady is not in good health right now and needs to rest for a period of time. Perhaps she can’t even go to the imperial palace!”

The Madam Dowager had said a few days before that she would bring the young ladies of the mansion to see the Empress Dowager in a couple of days. The Madam Dowager asked them to get prepared in advance.

“Yes, I know!” Although Doctor Ming did not understand what was going on, he still nodded his head. He did not dare to underestimate this shrewd Sixth Young Lady. Since this Sixth Young Lady had said so, someone would definitely come to ask him about her foot injury later.

Seeing that Doctor Ming understood Wei Yuewu’s intention, Jin Ling sent him to the gate of the courtyard. Then, she returned to the room and asked in surprise, “Miss, are you really not going to the imperial palace?”

The clothes and accessories that were need for the trip to the imperial palace had been prepared these past two days. Besides, Wei Yuewu also said that she wanted to go into the imperial palace to take a look. However, she had implicitly asked Doctor Ming to exaggerate her foot injury. Jin Ling could not understand the meaning behind it!

“Yes, I will go!” Wei Yuewu put down the teacup in her hand. Her eyes blinked and she smiled. The imperial palace? It seemed to be the place where her childhood memories froze…

Of course, she was going there!
