Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 15 Fuel Rumors and Encounter a Mysterious Man

Seeing things did not turn out as planned, the coachman just wanted to get away from the scene. Therefore, he didn’t notice at all that someone from the crowd was silently following him...

The maidservant from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, who had also seen things turn out so unexpectedly, hurriedly squeezed her way out of the crowd. She must hasten to report to the Second Lady that the sixth young lady did not die so that the Second Lady could be prepared in advance.

The maidservant was too eager to pass on the message to be aware that she would expose herself by squeezing her way out and running like that away from the large crowd. More than one people looked back at her doubtfully.

Of course Wei Yuewu noticed her running away as well. She slightly narrowed the corner of her eyes, her lips curled with a sneer.

Wei Yan, how should I avenge the hatred of blood that you and Mo Huating had incited in me...

Jin Ling struggled up from the ground and suddenly saw the woman running away. She pointed her finger at the maidservant and cried, “Miss, isn’t that woman from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang? Do you want me to stop her? I have seen her clothes before.”

Meanwhile, she rubbed her waist as if she had been injured due to a heavy fall to the ground.

Her words instantly attracted the attention of all the people, who turned their heads, merely to see the back of the maidservant.

Nevertheless, some onlookers still identified her clothes: they were worn by maidservants in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

“It’s really a maidservant from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. How come she ran away without greeting her mistress when she saw her?”

“She must have gone to tip somebody off. No wonder she had struggled desperately to get out.”

“The mansion of Marquis Hua Yang is now administered by the Second Lady. Her reputation has been good. Would she do this kind of thing?”

“Such ladies as she are very good at putting on a show. How vicious they are in truth!”

...

People in the capital all knew that as Marquis Hua Yang was guarding the border, the person who was actually running the family was the wife of the second Hua Yang brother.

“Sixth Young Lady, shall I get her back?”

Jin Ling limped over to Wei Yuewu as she rubbed her waist.

“No, we’ll go home.”

Wei Yuewu said calmly and walked to the small carriage parked aside. Those who were left behind were still discussing and gossiping.

As for the carriage which had been knocked into the river, it was left to be dealt with by the coachman from the mansion of the Duke of Yan State.

Soon, efforts to salvage the carriage started, and more onlookers gathered to see what was going on.

Those who got there late were eagerly making inquiries about what had happened. And those who had witnessed the whole process started to explain the incident. They talked about the carriage from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, about the maidservant who had sneaked away, about the coachman who ran away, and about the Sixth Miss Wei who, instead of being ugly, was unexpectedly a delicate beauty...

All the information combined, it was clear that someone was viciously trying not only to ruin the reputation of the Sixth Miss Wei, but also to kill her, and that the most likely, the person was Lady Li, the wife of the second Hua Yang brother!

Many people were hired to go down to the river, saying they were to salvage the luggage in the carriage. However, the carriage had sunken, and it was not easy to complete the work. As the bystanders crowded aside watching the scene, again there came a lot of passers-by who began to ask about the matter. Then those who had been at the spot earlier explained to those who came later. Within a short period of time, almost everyone passing across the place knew that Second Lady made a spiteful attempt to murder Sixth Miss Wei, the first daughter of Marquis Hua Yang.

In the small carriage, Wei Yuewu was seated with Jin Ling beside her. The carriage started to move slowly and smoothly. Since the road ahead was almost completely blocked, the carriage first moved backward and then turned to another path heading to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

“Miss, is that coachman really not from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang?”

Jin Ling stopped rubbing her waist now. As much as she had been on guard, how could she hurt herself by falling to the ground.

“Lady Li would not be that stupid.”

Wei Yuewu gently closed her eyes, with a faint sneer around the corner of her mouth. Lady Li had been ruining her name in the capital. This fact alone was clear evidence that she was adept at scheming and calculating. “The coachman is not from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Besides, he is not from Lady Li’s own family either.”

She had been secretly observing the coachman. He was not quite panicked even when he realized that the carriage he had crashed into was from the mansion of the Duke of Yan State. Therefore, Wei Yuewu understood that she guessed right. That man had connections to a powerful background, and Yan Huaijing would be very happy about what she had discovered!

“Then, Miss, who could his master be?”

Jin Ling was intrigued by the contempt and sneer on Wei Yuewu’s face.

Wei Yuewu did not answer. Instead, she slightly pointed her forefinger in a direction, and said with a cold smile, “I heard the eldest son of the Li family was serving that person.”

Jin Ling did not understand what Wei Yuewu meant at first. Rolling her eyeballs twice and looking at the direction in which Wei Yuewu’s finger was pointed, she suddenly came to understand the implication. She gave an involuntary exclamation and widened her eyes out of shock. Then she lowered her voice and asked, “Miss, are you sure?”

“Sure enough.”

Wei Yuewu opened her eyes and picked up the cup from the small table. She elegantly took a sip of tea. A trace of cold hostility flashed across her eyes. Judging from today’s nearly perfect plot, Lady Li, as she had predicted, was very difficult to deal with.

Maybe it was because of the coachman’s unusual identity!

Unfortunately, Lady Li’s caution should turn out to help Yan Huaijing and hers...

Moreover, it would perhaps harm some people’s interests, but what did that have to do with her!

The carriage suddenly jolted as if it bumped into something and was about to stop. Wei Yuewu was a little surprised: they could not have arrived at the Hua Yang mansion so soon!

“Miss, there is a carriage behind us. It has been following us since we drove out of the intersection. Now it is going to overtake us!”

The coachman outside the curtain of the carriage reported in a low voice.
