Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 409

Wei Yuewu did not expect to stumble upon the heir-apparent’s carriage although she had left first.

She lifted the curtain and was speechless when she saw the heir-apparent’s leisurely face.

No matter how she looked at it, it was not a coincidence!

“Sixth Miss Wei, how has your father been these past few days?” Yan Huaijing asked in a faint and leisurely tone as always. His smile was brilliant, but it made Wei Yuewu feel a strong sense of malice. When had his relationship with her father become so good?

“Your Heir-apparent, how may I help you?” Wei Yuewu had no choice but to bow in the carriage. She felt helpless when the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State stopped her carriage.

“A drama will unfold soon. Are you interested to watch it?” Yan Huaijing invited her with a smile as if he was inviting Wei Yuewu to watch an interesting affair.

“I’m busy. I have something to deal with.” Wei Yuewu rubbed her forehead. She did not know what to say. Of course, she did not believe that the interesting things that the heir-apparent said were really interesting.

“It’s a good show. Just come over and take a look!” However, the heir-apparent did not look like someone who could be rejected. She put down the curtain of the carriage, and Yan Huaijing’s carriage drove ahead. Wei Yuewu was about to tell Old Li to leave when she saw two bodyguards coming over from Yan Huaijing’s carriage.

“Follow them,” Wei Yuewu said helplessly.

From the looks of it. she had to follow him despite her reluctance. The strong-willed heir-apparent had never been the gentle and polite man he looked to be.

The two carriages, one in front and one behind, turned a few corners on the street, and they slowed down at a particular intersection. Because Yan Huaijing’s carriage was in front, Wei Yuewu’s carriage naturally slowed down too.

She lifted the curtains slightly. She did not understand what Yan Huaijing meant, but she saw a carriage coming from the opposite end of the road. Although there were no signs on the wide carriage, she could tell that the person in the carriage was either extremely rich or powerful. Ordinary aristocratic families could not afford such a wide carriage.

The carriage was moving, and the curtain was lifted as if the person spotted Yan Huaijing’s carriage. The person in the carriage said something to the coachman, and the carriage slowed down.

At this time, they saw a horse galloping over from the side. Originally, if the carriage did not stop, the horse would not collide with the carriage. But at this moment, the carriage stopped in the horse’s way. Therefore, the horse crashed into the back of the carriage.

The horse did not stop. The person on the horse urged the horse and ran wildly all the way.

The rear end of the wide carriage was hit, and it spun half a circle. The sharp scream of a woman came from inside, and there were people shouting, “Princess! Princess!”

Wei Yuewu had been secretly looking outside. At this time, she could not help but be stunned. Princess? Was she the person who was peeking from the opposite room just now?

“Sixth Young Lady, the heir-apparent said that you can leave now,” a bodyguard lightly walked to Wei Yuewu’s window and said in a low voice.

Wei Yuewu nodded. She knew that it was quite conspicuous as her carriage was behind Yan Huaijing’s carriage. Since he no longer restrained her, she asked Huamo to tell Old Li to turn around and go to a small road. They directly went to the next destination to take a look.

Her next destination was just an ordinary grocery store. It could be considered a very inconspicuous shop in her mother’s dowry.

“Your Heir-apparent, Sixth Miss Wei has already left.” A bodyguard watched as Wei Yuewu’s carriage nimbly turned around and left the place at the fastest speed before returning to the carriage to report.

“She left quite fast!” Inside the carriage, Yan Huaijing smiled lazily. The corners of his lips curled into a gentle smile, and his face was actually filled with pleasure.

“Should we go and help? The carriage is going to turn over soon!” The bodyguard looked at the carriage outside and asked.

“Just a little help will do. After all, I am just passing by occasionally!” Yan Huaijing lazily held his head and said indifferently.

“Yes, I understand.” His order meant that the person in the carriage should not go completely unscathed. Therefore, the bodyguards simply prepared themselves but did not immediately take action.

Only when they saw that the carriage was really going to flip over did the three bodyguards go over. One pulled the horse’s head, and the other two supported each side of the carriage, each using force to stabilize the carriage.

“Princess, Princess, how are you? Are you alright?” When the carriage stopped, the crying voice of the woman in the carriage became more and more obvious, but there was no response. Obviously, the princess was not doing well.

“Your Heir-apparent, should we go over?” A bodyguard came over and asked.

“No need. I need to keep my distance due to the gender difference. Leave two guards here to help her out. Just say that I need to talk to Eldest Miss Jing about the screen, and it is urgent, so I can’t stay to take care of the Fourth Princess.” Yan Huaijing shook his head and put down the curtain in his hand while saying casually. He wouldn’t have cared about the princess’ affairs if it hadn’t been for the little sly fox who had been tricked.

Jing Wenyan used Mother Consort’s screen as part of her ploy. What a coincidence! He finally found a perfect candidate to suffer the consequences.

Yan Huaijing thought leisurely as if he didn’t notice that his thoughts had pushed Jing Wenyan to the front.

Jing Wenyan wanted to hide behind the scenes, but she was pushed to the front. For Jing Wenyan, who had lost her territory and wanted to curry favor with the two princesses to seek benefits for herself, Yan Huaijing’s words really pushed her to a dangerous position.

Jing Wenyan thought that she understood Yan Huaijing well. The tiny scheme against Yan Huaijing would not harm him at all. So, even if he knew about her scheme, he would not do anything to her unless she jeopardized something that he cared about.

Therefore, Jing Wenyan had always been very careful and meticulous. Originally, she had been wholeheartedly on good terms with Wei Yuewu, but Yan Huaijing’s childhood sweetheart had suddenly appeared. In Jing Wenyan’s opinion, Wei Yuewu definitely did not have a special meaning to Yan Huaijing, so she treated her casually. Unexpectedly, she offended Yan Huaijing nevertheless…

The curtain of the carriage fell down, and the carriage slowly left in the direction of the mansion of Duke of Jing.

The Fourth Princess, who had been awakened, sat in the carriage in a daze. She covered the corner of her broken lips with a handkerchief. She was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief apart. Jing Wenyan promised that there was really nothing between her and Yan Huaijing now. She said that she had let bygones be bygones, and she would not think about marrying Yan Huaijing anymore.

She said that she would help her, but from the looks of it, did she really not have any thoughts about Yan Huaijing?

The screen? What was so special about a woman’s screen? The princess refused to believe that Yan Huaijing would deliberately go to Jing Wenyan to talk about the screen. It was clearly an excuse.

He needed to keep a distance due to the gender difference… What the hell was that?! He didn’t even come to check if she was okay, and he simply assigned a few guards to check on her. Yet, he spent so much time with Jing Wenyan discussing the screen. Why couldn’t they finish it off in the gold store? Why did he have to go to her again to continue the discussion? No matter how the princess looked at it, there seemed to be something between the two of them.

Previously, the Fourth Princess had always thought that Wei Yuewu had ruined her plan. Now that she thought about it, she felt that the relationship between Jing Wenyan and Yan Huaijing seemed to be full of affection.

Jing Wenyan actually used her as an excuse to meet Yan Huaijing!

This realization made the Fourth Princess so angry that she almost bit down on her teeth. She exerted force in her hand and cried out in pain again. It was not just her lips. Just now, her head was heavily knocked on the carriage. At this time, it was still faintly painful, and she was dizzy…

Wei Yuewu had no idea that in order to vent her anger, Yan Huaijing had plotted against the Fourth Princess and Jing Wenyan. She was now standing in front of a small grocery store.

Compared with the previous gold store, this shop looked extremely humble, with the difference between a beggar and an Emperor. The gold store was huge and extravagant, but this grocery shop was just a small facade hidden in an inconspicuous corner. The shop was not big, and there were not many people entering the shop.

In fact, this shop was not an ordinary grocery store. Instead, some exquisite goods were sold here, such as women’s accessories, fans, jade belts, purses, handkerchiefs, and so on. Some of them were quite exclusive. Due to the slump condition of the shop, the price was relatively lower.

But even so, there were not many customers.

When Wei Yuewu brought Huamo in, she did not see any staff. She looked around and saw two elderly shop assistants in the shop, looking lazy and sluggish. They were astonished by Wei Yuewu’s beauty when they looked up and saw her, but they did not seem very energetic.

There were not many goods on the shelves.

“Why are there so few goods in your shop and so few customers?” Huamo understood Wei Yuewu’s intention and went forward to ask the shop assistants.

“It’s going to be closed. It’s not bad to have such goods!” One of the shop assistants sighed.

“Closed? Why? Is the business here so bad?” Huamo was startled.

“The business has always been very good before. It’s just that it hasn’t been good recently. The other shop assistants also quit. We worked here for the longest time. We couldn’t bear to leave, so we stayed!” The shop assistant sighed.

“It hasn’t been good recently? What happened?” Wei Yuewu couldn’t help but ask. When she observed the shop outside, she found that it was indeed inconspicuous. But when she stepped into the store, she found that apart from the lack of goods and the shop assistants’ dejected demeanor, everything in the shop was neatly arranged and clean. It made people who entered the shop feel that it was pleasing to the eye.

Even if such a shop was not particularly popular, the business would not be so bad.

“Well, our boss wants to end the business!” The shop assistant grunted weakly and then took the small accessory that Wei Yuewu was looking at and placed it on the table. “See this. It’s actually very beautiful. In the past, we could sell it at a much more expensive price, but now, we can only sell it at a bit of silver.”

It was an exquisite boat-shaped accessory made of hawksbill. It was very beautiful and could be used as a good-looking ornament whether it was placed on a bookshelf or in front of the flower pavilion. Wei Yuewu had seen it in her maternal grandmother’s flower pavilion before. It was said that the price of such a small one was not cheap. It was worth at least 100 taels of silver.

As for the one in front of her, although it was a little smaller, the price was only ten taels of silver, which was really a little cheap.

“Why is it so cheap?” Wei Yuewu’s eyes flashed with a trace of deep thought as she slowly asked. Mother’s shops made her feel particularly peculiar. There was clearly something wrong with this one too.

“Madam Dowager said that the fengshui is not good here!” Another shop assistant came over and said.
