Chapter 326 I Want to Read a Book, Orchid Atlas

Wei Yuewu and Jin Ling immediately recognized Ming Yan’s voice outside, and they exchanged skeptical glances.

Wei Yuewu waved to Jin Ling. The latter quickly packed up the things on the table while Wei Yuewu returned to the bed, took off her coat, and laid down again.

“Ming Yan, what’s the matter?” Jin Ling opened the door, looked at Ming Yan, and asked.

“How is Sixth Young Lady now? Is she getting better?” Ming Yan looked inside and asked.

Jin Ling took a step forward and blocked her line of sight. “She is better now. Does Fourth Young Lady want something from us?”

“Fourth Young Lady was scolded by the Third Princess because she went to the Crown Prince Mansion for help for Sixth Young Lady’s matter,” Ming Yan lowered her head and sighed helplessly.

“The Third Princess punished Fourth Young Lady?” Jin Ling gasped in bewilderment. “The Third Princess has always been kind and generous. Why would she punish the Fourth Young Lady?”

Ming Yan didn’t know how to answer the question appropriately. She was just a maid, so she didn’t dare to say that the Third Princess was spiteful. Hence, she stammered, “I-I wasn’t sure either, but the Third Princess’s tone was quite harsh, and the Fourth Young Lady cried in grievance when she returned to her room. She had been to the Crown Prince Mansion, which was the nearest, because she was panicked and didn’t know what to do.”

After saying that, Ming Yan sighed again, “If the Sixth Young Lady is feeling better, our Miss wants to come over and keep her company. No matter what, they are sisters. It doesn’t matter if our Miss is reprimanded by the Third Princess because of her.”

Ming Yan’s remarks sounded considerate and caring, but her real intention was to say that Wei Yuewu was the main reason why Wei Qiufu went to Wen Tianyao.

Lying on the bed, Wei Yuewu smirked in disdain. Wei Qiufu always put herself in the most advantageous position at all times, using all the conditions that could be used. Of course, she would do the same thing this time.

Wei Qiufu got fidgety after the series of unexpected events occurred…

Darting her eyes around, Wei Yuewu looked at the place where Jin Ling had hidden her painting and the atlas and smiled. It was perfect. she could send the orchid she had drawn to Wei Qiufu’s room.

“I thank the Fourth Young Lady on behalf of our Miss!” Jin Ling was faux-touched.

“It’s nothing. They are sisters, after all. The Sixth Young Lady fell down and fainted because of our Miss, right? Thankfully, she is awake, or our Miss will feel very bad about it. Now that the Sixth Young Lady is awake, our Miss sent me to ask if she is interested to go for a walk tonight.”

Ming Yan waved her hand leisurely, indicating that they shouldn’t thank the Fourth Young Lady over these matters.

“Uh… I have to ask our Miss.” Jin Ling pursed her lips. As a maid, she couldn’t make decisions for Wei Yuewu.

“How about I go in with you and ask the Sixth Young Lady myself?” Ming Yan had an affectionate look on her face.

“Okay. Wait a moment.” Jin Ling thought for a moment and returned to the inner room.

Then, she rushed to the bed and reported to Wei Yuewu, “Miss, Ming Yan comes here to see you on behalf of the Fourth Young Lady.”

“Let her in,” Wei Yuewu leaned back and ordered indifferently.

“Yes.” Jin Ling responded, turned around, and said to Ming Yan, who was still standing at the door, “Our Miss wants you to come in.”

Ming Yan followed Jin Ling in. When she walked past the screen, she bowed deeply to Wei Yuewu. “Sixth Young Lady, our Miss sent me over to visit you. Are you feeling better now?”

Wei Yuewu had heard their conversation clearly from the inside. She smiled slightly and gushed, “Thank you for your concern. Please thank Fourth Elder Sister on my behalf.”

Ming Yan raised her head and looked at Wei Yuewu. Although the latter looked quite pale, she seemed to be in good spirits, so Ming Yan asked with a smile, “Our Miss wanted to ask if you’re interested to go for a stroll in the garden tonight. You’ve been in the room for a whole day, and everyone is not in the mood.”

With so many things happening, it was true that no one was in the mood. Wei Qiufu’s suggestion was actually very reasonable.

The imperial doctor also commented that Wei Yuewu had only fainted from the fall. After waking up, there was not much of a problem. Moreover, she had to join the Third Princess’s prayer tomorrow, so she would be in trouble if she couldn’t get up.

“Alright then, but…” Wei Yuewu hesitated for a moment.

“Sixth Young Lady, is there any problem?” Ming Yan asked.

“Actually, it’s not a big deal. I was just bored and wanted to read some books. I wonder if Fourth Elder Sister brought any books with her when she entered the Palace.” Wei Yuewu looked at Ming Yan with a smile.

“Uh… I am not too sure, but our Miss did bring a few books into the Palace.” Ming Yan shook her head. Although she knew a few words, she could not tell what books there were.

“Go back and tidy up Fourth Elder Sister’s books. I will ask Jin Ling to come over later and borrow a few books from her. I have nothing to do now,” she reckoned softly, a sharp dark light flashing in her eyes.

“Okay, I will go back and tell our Miss now.” Ming Yan was at ease since she completed Wei Qiufu’s order, so she agreed with a relaxing smile.

She did not know what kind of books the Fourth Young Lady brought and which books she could lend. When she went back to tidy up, she could ask Fourth Young Lady to be sure.

After saying this, Ming Yan went back to tidy up Wei Qiufu’s books.

“Miss, do you want to read books?” After Ming Yan left, Jin Ling asked in surprise. When Wei Yuewu entered the Palace, other than clothes and accessories, the rest of her luggage consisted of books. Jin Ling, who knew what Wei Yuewu brought into the Palace, thought Wei Yuewu did not have to borrow books from others.

It had only been a few days since she entered the Palace. Even though she loved to read, she couldn’t have finished reading all the books she brought.

“Bring me the sketch of orchid!” Wei Yuewu glanced at the place where Jin Ling had just tidied up with an expressive smile. “Hide the sketch at that place in Fourth Elder Sister’s room.”

Wei Yuewu pointed. The layout of the two rooms was the same, so the place Wei Yuewu pointed to was also the place in Wei Qiufu’s room.

There was also a table outside the screen, which was next to the window. The previous writing brush washer was there too. There were several drawers under the table that could put things. Wei Yuewu was referring to those drawers.

Similar to her, Wei Qiufu often used the table in the inner room and rarely used the one in the outside room.

Therefore, it was unlikely for her to discover that there was an extra item in the drawer of the table.

Moreover, even if Wei Qiufu did find it, she would think that the sketch was there in the first place without looking closely and would not suspect her.

That room was already very suspicious, and an extra item wouldn’t be much of a deal.

“Yes, I understand!” Hearing Wei Yuewu mention the orchid just now, Jin Ling immediately nodded knowingly.

She took the sketch, rolled it up a little, carefully hid it in her sleeve, and then went to Wei Qiufu’s room.

She knocked on the door, and it was indeed Ming Yan who opened the door.

“Jin Ling, you came so quickly. I haven’t finished tidying the books up yet!” There was a hint of complaint in Ming Yan’s tone. She had just come back to ask her Miss when Jin Ling came. She was not ready at all.

“It’s okay. I will wait a moment. Do you need my help?” Jin Ling smiled.

“No, no need. Wait a minute. I will be ready soon.” Ming Yan shook her hands, reluctant to accept Jin Ling’s offer. How could Jin Ling casually look at Fourth Young Lady’s things?

“Alright then. Take your time!” Although Jin Ling felt troubled, she nodded and followed Ming Yan into the room.

“Wait here. I’ll go in and pack up first. I’ll be right back,” Ming Yan stretched out her arms and blocked Jin Ling, stopping the latter from following her in.

“Okay, I will stand right here!” Jin Ling nodded and walked to the window to wait.

Seeing that she was standing respectfully, Ming Yan was satisfied. She walked to the screen and sorted out a few books that Wei Qiufu had permitted.

While she was tidying up, she turned back to look at the screen and felt slightly relieved when she saw that Jin Ling was just standing there with a smile on her face.

Not long after, she came out with a few books in her arms. As she handed the books to Jin Ling, she smiled and said, “I sorted them out. Let Sixth Young Lady read them first. Our Miss didn’t bring many books when she entered the Palace.”

“Our Miss can read for a while with these few books.” Jin Ling took the books happily. “Please thank the Fourth Young Lady for me. Where is she…”

“She is not feeling well, so she is resting now and doesn’t want to see anyone. That’s why she wants to go for a walk tonight. At night, help the Sixth Young Lady dress up. We will go out with them,” Ming Yan lowered her voice and quipped.

“Okay!” Regarding the matter of accompanying her Miss to relax, Jin Ling nodded repeatedly, then, she carried the book and went back to Wei Yuewu’s room.

“Ming Yan.” When the sound of Jin Ling closing the door resonated, Wei Qiufu’s voice came from the inner room.

“Yes, Miss, I am here!” Ming Yan hurried back to the inner room.

Wei Qiufu sat in front of the writing desk outside the window, her expression gloomy. “Jin Ling didn’t fumble about just now, did she?”

“No, she didn’t. I saw it with my own eyes. What could she do in such a short time anyway?” Ming Yan pursed her lips.

Wei Qiufu muttered to herself for a moment, a hint of sternness flashing in her eyes. “Prepare my most beautiful clothes.”

The Third Princess’s rebuke made her realize her inferiority in the Palace. Even though she was the young lady from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, she could still be berated by the Third Princess whenever the latter wanted to.

She could only become stronger and become the Crown Prince’s official consort. In this way, the Third Princess could not reprimand her just because she wanted to, let alone others.

No one would dare to drag her into Wei Fengyao’s matters, and she would ruin Wei Yuewu for good!

She didn’t want to wait any longer, neither could she wait.

Previously, Wei Fengyao had already prepared most of the matters in the Palace for her. If she didn’t make her move as soon as possible, she would probably not have the chance to do so when Wei Fengyao woke up. Others might not be aware of it, but Wei Qiufu clearly knew that Wei Fengyao had wanted her to be shot by the arrow instead.

She would have been the one who was shot had she not reacted quickly.

Thinking about it, the selfish Wei Fengyao would definitely hate her. Even if she would still help her next time, she would definitely harbor ill will to prevent her from succeeding easily.

So she had to take action either tonight or tomorrow night.

The young ladies of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang were in trouble in the Palace. Meanwhile, the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang outside the Palace was in chaos, and the situation was extraordinarily turbulent!

In fact, the chaos even exposed the secret that was related to Wei Yuewu to the public.

At this moment, Wei Yuewu had already got ready and was on her way toward Jinxiu Palace where Zhaoyi Tu lived…
