Chapter 526 The Sneaky Maiden
Watching as Jing Wenyan went up to have someone inform her, to the point where someone guided her through the door.
Then her dignified figure disappeared behind the door before Wei Yuewu turned around and went back with Shufei.
She was really a bit tired, so Shufei called a carriage for her to return to the place where the carriage of the Marquis of Huayang was parked.
Getting out of the car and getting back in, Shufei ordered the carriage to travel back.
The carriage traveled calmly, Wei Yuewu closed her eyes and recuperated in the car, Shu Fei saw Wei Yuewu was weak and didn’t dare to disturb her rest.
Only after getting to the entrance of Huayang Mansion did Wei Yuewu open her eyes, after a little rest, her spirit was a little better, holding onto Shufei’s hand she got out of the carriage and headed for Qing He Yuan.
“Hey man, stop, what are you doing?” Shufei suddenly took a few quick steps and pointed at a small maid who appeared sneaky not far away and shouted.
The little maiden froze for a moment, seemed to want to run, but didn’t dare, one foot only stretched out and then immediately stood still, looking at the Wei Yuewu behind Shufei coming over, hurriedly stood still and lowered her head to salute, “Slave girl see the county master!”
“Why are you panicking when you see our county princess? Is it possible that you are not trying to disadvantage our county princess?” Shu Fei narrowed his eyes, looked the little maid up and down, and snapped.
“No … no, the slave girl has something urgent to report to the third young miss, didn t see the county master come over.” The little maid was so scared that her double back shook, and hurriedly explained.
“Third Miss’s maid? What else does Third Miss have to be busy with right now, and it’s actually an emergency?” Shufei said in a cold voice.
“It’s … the Grand Duke’s business!” The little maid stammered in reply.
“What does big brother have to do?” Wei Yuewu was surprised and took the words, glancing at this little maid, it should not be the maid that Wei Yue Jiao usually keeps close to her, otherwise it would be impossible for her not to recognize it.
“It seems to be the marriage of the Grand Duke!” The little maid nagged vaguely.
“What does big brother’s marriage have to do with third sister? Could it be that big brother’s marriage has to go through third sister’s consent?” Wei Yuewu’s gaze condensed on the little maiden’s body, those icy cold beautiful eyes, looking at the little maiden trembling up.
“No … it’s not that, it’s the young lady that the grand duke ordered … to order before, and the third young lady is a bosom friend, so … that’s why the third young lady is care about this matter!”
The little maid replied timidly, her head lowered, not daring to look at Wei Yuewu more than once.
“Which family’s daughter is Big Brother engaged to?” Wei Ziyang’s marriage was booked a long time ago, she was aware of it, but never asked about who the other party was, and this time, since she had met them, she asked one more question.
“It’s … the daughter of Servant Qu of the Ministry of Mandarins!” Upon hearing that Wei Yuewu asked about this, the little maid obviously breathed a sigh of relief, everyone in the Huayang Marquis’ residence in the capital knew that Wei Ziyang was previously engaged to the eldest daughter of Shangshu Qu, who was the same Shangshu as Wei Luowu.
“Qu Yan?” Wei Yuewu asked softly as she thought about it, this was really interesting!
“Good … like that name!” The little maid whispered.
“Then you went to Servant Qu’s residence just now?” Wei Yuewu could not imagine that it was really Qu Yan, her face could not help but show a hint of a smile, for this Qu Yan who was doing right by Second Miss Wen at that time, she still had a good feeling about it.
“This … this is not it, slave girl … slave girl went to the outside place and met Miss Qu.” The little maid stammered for a bit, her eyes fluttered, and at a glance, she knew that she didn t tell the truth.
“Third sister and Miss Qu are very good bosom friends?” Wei Yue Ming asked again.
“Is … is quite good, before heard the third miss said …” The little maid felt in front of the eyes of this six miss words, more and more difficult to answer, undershirt at their hidden sweat.
This is just an excuse, ask further, she felt that she was going to be exposed, originally what she said was just an excuse, but the third young lady was also a thousand times urged, said that if you meet the people on the side of the county princess, you must not say that you went to the Li Mansion.
“Third sister is actually bosom friends with Miss Qu!” Wei Yuewu cast a sidelong glance at that little maid, but didn’t break the pot to ask the question, only casually walking forward.
Shu Fei originally wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Wei Yuewu’s eyes, so he had no choice but to naively follow Wei Yuewu forward.
Only after seeing Wei Yuewu disappear on the intersection with Shu Fei did the little maid wipe a cold sweat, timidly looking at the direction Wei Yuewu had left, she hurriedly turned around and came towards Wei Yue Jiao’s Fengyi Courtyard.
“Is this the second aunt’s letter? Can you see the second aunt with your own eyes?” Wei Yuejiao took the letter from the hands of the little maid and purposely asked one more question, cautiously saying.
“The slave girl saw the second madam, the second madam is very thin … and has been lying in bed.” The little maid recalled seeing Li’s situation and couldn’t help but shiver.
Li is really thin, thin almost out of shape, the whole person lying there, completely different from the memory of the second lady who called the shots in the Huayang Marquis House, a pair of eyes is even more gloomy, like two points of ghostly fire in the dark night, scaring this timid maid almost can’t say all the words.
“That’s good, in a moment you will put the boxes of snacks on the table in the food basket and deliver them to Aunt Winter, and give this letter to Sister Li along with it.”
Wei Yuejiao commanded, holding the letter in her hand and shaking it against the light from the window, she actually wanted to open it and take a look, but was afraid that Aunt Dong would reprimand her.
This was something that Aunt Winter had asked her to do, specifically asking her to order a little maid to do it so that it wouldn’t be noticeable.
The letter sent to the Li House, and then take a letter of reply from the hands of Li, things are actually very simple, but Li has not returned to the house since she went to the Li House, Huayang Marquis House is also guessing a lot of guesses, are guessing why Li did not come back, if it is to recuperate the injury in fact can also be back to the Huayang Marquis House to raise.
So the biggest possibility is that the Second Master doesn’t want to see Li, so Li can only be in the Li Mansion.
Wei Yuejiao in fact is not clear about the inside, only know that Li did not come back is indeed to provoke the second uncle, but what exactly is the matter, how she can not find out, so Li’s letter is quite curious.
“Yes, slave girl will go at once!” The little maid answered the order, packed up the several pots of snacks on the table and put them into the food basket, then turned back to receive the letter, caged it into her sleeve, and turned to go out the door to deliver the letter to Aunt Dong.
“Miss, that girl has a problem.” Shu Fei followed Wei Yuewu towards Qing Lotus Courtyard, and after taking a few steps, she couldn’t help herself and said to Wei Yuewu.
“Oh, see a problem?” Wei Yuewu gave her a sidelong glance and laughed.
“Yes, the slave girl feels that she seems to be very afraid of meeting the county princess, and whether or not the third young lady and that Miss Qu are bosom friends, what does it have to do with the grand duke’s marriage? To pull a line from the east and a line from the west like that, to be alarmist is clearly to be afraid that Miss will ask her what she’s really up to!”
Shufei grunted coldly and frowned tightly.
“Then let’s hear it that way for the time being.” Wei Yuewu said as if she had a point.
“Estimate and hear it that way?” Shufei froze, not responding.
“That is to say can let first look and then say, a moment you go to inquire, this maid is not out of the house? Should be in our before a little bit back to the house it!”
Wei Yuewu guessed that to be able to hook into the outside of the mansion, this matter should not look like it should be just Wei Yue Jiao, but more like Aunt Dong.
However, Aunt Winter is just an aunt, formerly a maid of the Marquis of Huayang, can look for foreign aid is really not much, in addition to the one and she was previously in trouble with Li, really can not think of anyone else…
The dinner on the 30th day of the Lunar New Year was held at the Dowager Lady’s Jing Xin Xuan.
Wei Yuewu went a little late because she was not feeling well, and when she got to the Meditation Pavilion, Wei Qiu Fu and Wei Qiu Ju, as well as the Wei Zi Yang brothers, all came over early.
Hearing that Wei Yuewu came in, the dowager lady raised her eyelids and smiled at Wei Yuewu who came in to salute, “Dance girl or sit down first people, your body and bones are really poor, good life, how did you fall ill like that, grandmother and your father are going to be worried to death.”
Grandma Hong had long ago had a chair carried over for Wei Yuewu to sit close to the dowager lady.
Wei Yuewu sat down, only to find that Wei Yue Jiao actually also in, but now Wei Yue Jiao and the previous appearance is very different, actually and Wei Qiu Ju sitting together, and the attitude is also calm very much, is with Wei Qiu Ju have a sentence, not a word to say, as if they were originally so close before.
For Wei Yuejiao, who has always had such a high heart and can’t see Wei Qiu Ju, to make it this far is really not simple.
“Many thanks, grandmother, Dancer herself is almost well!” Wei Yuewu laughed.
“We this will open dinner is still early, your father and your second uncle at this time is still in the palace did not come back, to be able to two of them back, we will formally open the feast, eat a meal of reunion, this is still dance girl so many years, the first time in the family to eat a reunion dinner it!” Mrs. Tai smiled and said.
The mood looks good.
“Yes!” Wei Yuewu smiled and nodded her head as she softly said.
“But several of your girls are older, and I don’t know how many of you will still be left together in the next year.” The dowager lady swept her gaze over the several granddaughters and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Mrs., how can you say such words on New Year’s Day, several Miss Sun which is not like a flower like characters, even if they are married out, but also one by one the status of the noble, and where to get Mrs. so sentimental words, and then how to say that this Marquis of Huayang House is a few young lady’s mother’s home, in the next year, if Mrs. think of them, call them all back to dinner is! ”
Nanny Hong smiled and picked up where the dowager lady left off.
This remark made Mrs. Tai happy, “This married, is someone else’s family, and where do you want to call back can call back!”
“No matter ah, the dowager lady is a grandmother, of course her words are more powerful than people, several young ladies even if they are married, they will not forget their mother’s family, they will not forget the dowager lady!” Nanny Hong smiled and flattered the dowager lady, said the dowager lady’s face could not help but smile open words.
As he was talking, it was rumored outside that Wei Lovin and Wei Luowu had both returned from the palace banquet.
“Please, please!” The dowager lady busily called out repeatedly.
The maids and maids-in-law in the house picked the curtains, moved the chairs, and were busy.
Where the curtain was high, the handkerchief Wei Yuewu was pinching in her hand tightened, what was the matter with the handsome face smiling brightly like a peach blossom in front of her father and her second uncle?
And the one who came in with him, isn’t it the Crown Prince Wen Tianyao?
