Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 365 – The Inexplicable Outcome Of The Farce

“That’s enough, Luan’er. Your Third Elder Sister didn’t say anything about it, so you should stop too. I’ll have someone make new clothes for you,” Empress Tu rebuked in dismay.

Seeing Empress Tu’s angry face, the Fourth Princess pursed her lips and glared at the Third Princess in resentment.

“Sixth Miss Wei, do you want to get to the bottom of this?” Empress Tu looked at Wei Yuewu and asked with a hint of probing.

Wei Qiufu’s expression immediately changed.

“No, I don’t. We’re sisters, so these are just some things that we don’t have to say out loud.” Wei Yuewu shook her head decisively. Her gaze fell on Wei Qiufu with a bit of desolation, but she did not say a word to her.

Wei Yuewu’s silky hair was as smooth as a waterfall. Her long and curly eyelashes were like half-unfolded butterfly wings. Her pale lips were slightly pinkish as she bit it lightly. It was a pitiful encounter, but she donned a benevolent expression. Looking at her demeanor, everyone present felt sympathy for her, and they felt that what she said was true.

On the other hand, Wei Qiufu’s expression was extremely stiff. She wanted to defend herself, but she did not have the chance to speak at all. Besides, Wei Yuewu did not directly accuse her of anything, so there was no case for her to argue!

“Since Sixth Miss Wei is so big-hearted…” Empress Tu thought for a moment and slowly uttered.

“Your Majesty!” Wei Qiufu could not help but cry out. Although Wei Yuewu did not pursue the matter, the first branch of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang would not support her unconditionally if these matters were to spread to the mansion.

“Fourth Miss Wei, what else do you have to say?” Empress Tu hissed coldly as her cold gaze fell on Wei Qiufu, and Wei Qiufu trembled in fear. “Sixth Miss Wei won’t pursue it, so I won’t pursue it any further too. You should cherish your sisterhood. You’d better behave in the future. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

After Empress Tu finished speaking, Wei Qiufu was already trembling like a leaf in the wind. Her face was as pale as snow, and her eyes darted around in a daze before she finally looked at Third Princess pleadingly. She didn’t want to bear the reputation of harming Wei Yuewu, although dispute between sisters was not a big deal in the usual days.

However, Wei Yuewu’s clothes were destroyed in the Palace, and it even caused a ruckus in the Third Princess’ coming-of-age ceremony. No matter what, it had become a big deal. Even though Wei Yuewu didn’t intend to get to the bottom of it, it didn’t mean that others would not think of her as being frivolous and vicious when they talked about her.

Such a reputation was completely the opposite of her previous dignified and magnanimous image. Even if she wasn’t blamed for this matter, this notorious stature would haunt her.

It was because Wei Yuewu, Empress Tu, and Zhaoyi Tu had somewhat accused her of destroying Wei Yuewu’s clothes, to the point where Wei Yuewu did not have any favorite clothes to wear to the Third Princess’ coming-of-age ceremony.

Although no one had told her anything about Wei Yuewu’s clothes, she was sure that it must have been the Third Princess’ doing. It was the Third Princess who had asked her to give the clothes to Wei Yuewu. Although she did not know the reason behind this, she was delighted to be able to help the Third Princess to secretly harm Wei Yuewu.

However, she did not expect that the matter took a turn for the worse, and that the clothes were found in her own room. Furthermore, they discovered that Wei Yuewu’s clothes had been destroyed before she could clean up the mess.

Wei Qiufu tried to defend herself, but the outcome was that she had a conflict with Wei Yuewu and destroyed the latter’s clothes. Although neither Empress Tu or Wei Yuewu stated the accusation clearly, everyone would come to the same conclusion that she had done this because of the dispute between her and Wei Yuewu.

The Third Princess turned a blind eye to Wei Qiufu’s pleading gaze. Her expression was calm and natural.

Wei Qiufu then turned her gaze to the Crown Prince Wen Tianyao, but she discovered in despair that the Crown Prince was looking at Wei Yuewu. His gaze was profound and thoughtful. He was deep in thought, so much so that he didn’t even notice her looking at him.

“Alright, let’s end today’s matter here. All of you, pack up and leave the Palace. As for Fourth Miss Wei, you should reflect on yourself. I will give you an admonition ruler. No matter where you are in the future, you must be broad-minded! As for the matter of someone framing you in the Palace, I will investigate the matter thoroughly!”

Empress Tu put the matter to an end by making the final decision.

Initially, this kind of matter could be considered a serious offense, but both Empress Tu and the Third Princess, the master of the harem and the person involved respectively, intended to minimize the impact of the situation. No one could interject or express their doubt at this point.

Thus, Wei Yuewu and Wei Qiufu, whose faces were pale and their feet were weak, returned to the group together. Together with the Third Princess, they bid farewell to Empress Tu and Zhaoyi Tu and then retreated outside the imperial ancestral hall.

“Third Princess, I…” When they arrived outside, Wei Qiufu hurried forward, wanting to stop the Third Princess who was about to leave.

“Fourth Miss Wei, what else do you want to say? Those clothes? Didn’t Her Majesty say that she would investigate the matter? Don’t you believe Her Majesty’s words?!” The Third Princess stopped in her tracks and asked with a face full of displeasure.

“No… I mean, it’s about my Sixth Younger Sister’s matter…” Wei Qiufu waved her hands anxiously. She refused to bear such a conviction.

“Sixth Miss Wei’s matter? What matter?” The Third Princess turned her head to look at Wei Yuewu.

Wei Yuewu smiled slightly and raised her watery eyes, looking pure and innocent. “Fourth Elder Sister, what’s the matter? It’s just a small matter. Yes, my clothes are destroyed, but it’s okay. You don’t have to blame yourself!”

These remarks almost confirmed that Wei Qiufu was the mastermind behind this matter. The few young ladies who were skeptical looked at Wei Qiufu with a strange expression.

“I-I mean, I have nothing to do with her clothes!” Wei Qiufu blushed in embarrassment and gritted her teeth hatefully.

“I didn’t say that you have anything to do with it. Why are you so agitated?” Wei Yuewu smiled faintly. “Also, I don’t blame you!”

Of course, she would not blame Wei Qiufu. However, after this incident, Wei Qiufu would not be able to get the selfless support of her father, Marquis Hua Yang!

In addition, outsiders also knew how fake Wei Qiufu’s so-called sisterhood was.

“Yes, Sixth Miss Wei decided to forget about it, so why are you still holding on to it, Fourth Miss Wei?” The Third Princess frowned in displeasure. She turned from Wei Qiufu to Wei Yuewu. “After returning to your residence, you have to treat your sister better. You are sisters, you can talk things out.”

After the Third Princess finished speaking, she ignored Wei Qiufu’s pale expression and turned to leave.

“Fourth Elder Sister, let’s go back!” Wei Yuewu smiled and blinked. “Third Princess did not mind it.”

As she spoke, she walked down the steps.

“Sixth Miss Wei, please wait!” A low voice suddenly came from behind her. Wei Yuewu turned around and saw the Crown Prince Wen Tianyao walking out with his eunuch.

Wei Qiufu, who wanted to take a step, blinked and decided to stay.

“Fourth Miss Wei, you can go back first!” Wen Tianyao’s indifferent and impolite words made Wei Qiufu’s eyes turn red, but she had to turn around and leave.

“Greetings, Your Highness!” Wei Yuewu did not feel that Wen Tianyao had the need to talk to her at this time. At this point, the whole thing had come to light due to the development of the matter.

After a respectful bow, Wei Yuewu quietly looked at Wen Tianyao, waiting for him to talk first.

Wen Tianyao was also looking at her. In fact, this was not the first time he had seen determination and steadiness in the eyes of such a fragile girl. They were not supposed to exist in her childish temperament, but they gave her a unique and wonderful vibe.

It was as if the orchid that should have lived in a warm spring was bloomed in the world of ice and snow. She was extremely beautiful and gorgeous.

He had never seen such a woman before!

“Did the Fourth Young Lady really destroy your clothes?” Wen Tianyao restrained the thoughts in his heart and asked indifferently.

“I don’t know!” Wei Yuewu decisively shook her head and looked at Wen Tianyao with vigilance. It turned out that the Crown Prince was here to stand up for Wei Qiufu, but she did not directly accuse Wei Qiufu of anything just now.

After a brief preface, Empress Tu and the Third Princess, who were trying to minimize the impact of the matter, pushed all the blame to Wei Qiufu, and all Wei Yuewu did was make use of the opportunity to achieve her goal.

Wen Tianyao did not expect such a decisive and straightforward answer from Wei Yuewu. He was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes turned cold. “Then why did you hint Her Majesty that Fourth Miss Wei destroyed your clothes?”

“Today is the last day of the Third Princess’ praying ceremony, and we will soon leave the Palace. No one wants to cause trouble at this time. I just casually said that it is just a small matter between young ladies. Do you not think so?” Wei Yuewu asked calmly.

Wei Yuewu was astounded that the Crown Prince would really stand up for Wei Qiufu. However, she simply mentioned the matter briefly just now, and the ones who pushed the blame on Wei Qiufu were Empress Tu and the Third Princess. She did not believe that Wen Tianyao would dwell into this matter and embarrass Empress Tu and the Third Princess.

Therefore, even if Wei Qiufu did not admit it, everyone would presume that she had something to do with it!

Wen Tianyao was befuddled because Wei Yuewu dared to contradict him. It was beyond his expectation.

“Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I’ll take my leave first!” Wei Yuewu raised her eyebrows and bowed.

At this time, Wen Tianyao could not say anything more and waved his hand to dismiss Wei Yuewu. After getting Wen Tianyao’s permission, Wei Yuewu left with Jin Ling.

Looking at the beautiful figure that was walking away, Wen Tianyao squinted, and his gaze became deeper and gloomier.

“Eldest Brother! What’s wrong?” The Third Prince appeared out of nowhere and called him warmly. Among the princes, only the Third Prince addressed Wen Tianyao as Eldest Brother, and the others addressed him Royal Brother.

“Nothing. I just asked Sixth Miss Wei a few questions. How is the portraits that Mother Empress asked you to draw?” With a smile, Wen Tianyao retracted his gaze and shook his head. He did not expect that a young girl would defeat him.

“All of them were rejected.” The Third Prince’s heart skipped a beat. He calmly withdrew his gaze and slowly replied.
