Chapter 18 Vicious Second Miss Wei Is Determined to Kill Wei Yuewu
The reason that Lady Li and Wei Yan opened the main door to welcome Wei Yuewu was that they didn’t want the situation to spiral out of their control.
Wei Yuewu sneered in her heart. No matter what Lady Li and her daughter were thinking of, no one could deny that at this moment, she made an aggressive return to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. She, Wei Yuewu, was the most distinguished young lady in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang!
At last, the heavy main door was slowly opened. The male servants no longer dared to be disrespectful as before. They stood in two rows to greet Wei Yuewu as she walked in. The old maidservant led the way for Wei Yuewu in a submissive manner. Although she appeared very deferential, a trace of schadenfreude flashed on her face when she lowered her head.
As a maidservant serving Wei Yan, she understood very well the temper of her young lady, who would definitely make things difficult for the Sixth Young Lady. As soon as the Sixth Young Lady entered the house, she would fall in the hands of the Second Young Lady. Her mistress had already foreseen the possibility of the male servants’ failure to block Wei Yuewu, so she had been waiting for the Sixth Young Lady inside. What a pleasure it was to see the Second Young Lady torment the Sixth Young Lady!
Wei Yuewu met many servants on the way as she followed the maidservant. All the servants looked at her disdainfully, sized her up with disrespect, and even leaned against somewhere pointing their fingers at her.
“Is that the Sixth Young Lady? She looks so young.”
“Isn’t it said that she was ugly and grew up in the countryside and didn’t know how to behave herself?”

“Is it possible that she is not the Sixth Young Lady? Perhaps they picked up the wrong person? When I saw her before, she didn’t look like this!”
Wei Yuewu didn’t take those comments to heart. Only when the maid said “the wrong person” did she glance at the maid with a trace of coldness flashing in her chilly eyes.
The maid involuntarily shut her mouth at the cold glance. She was stunned by that pair of eyes, which seemed capable of penetrating her heart, and quickly lowered her head with fear.
The maidservant led Wei Yuewu to a courtyard. Hardly had they entered the door when they heard a young girl sitting on a chair in the middle of the courtyard instructing coldly, “Somebody, seize this cheap girl who passed off as my sixth younger sister.”
As soon as she finished speaking, two stout maidservants came forward to catch Wei Yuewu.
Wei Yuewu raised her eyes and looked at the beautiful girl in the middle. Needless to say, she must be Wei Yan, the evil-minded Second Miss Wei who conspired with Mo Huating to murder her.
Seeing the two maidservants approaching, quick-witted Jin Ling snapped,
“Stop. My young lady is the one and only first daughter of Marquis Hua Yang. If she suffers any injury, you had better watch out when the marquis asks what’s happened.”
The two maidservants were stunned. They involuntarily stopped short and looked at each other.
Though Marquis Hua Yang was not in the capital, this place was after all his mansion. All servants here knew that as much as the Madam Dowager loved the Second Miss Wei, she had always deferred to the marquis on everything. It was okay if the marquis did not hold them accountable for helping the Second Young Lady against the Sixth Young Lady. But if the marquis became angry with what they did, they might see the end of their life here.
“Is this my second elder sister? I saw a maid of yours beside Marquis Jing Yuan in the town where I was almost killed. And now you are seizing me on my entering the door and accusing me of passing off as the first daughter of the marquis. I guess you are going to kill me anyway?”
Wei Yuewu lifted her eyes and stared at Wei Yan who was sitting at a short distance. She uttered the words with a smile, but her words were indeed very harsh.
“How dare you slander me. Someone, quickly block the mouth of this cheap girl. Slap her in the face hard!”
Charged by Wei Yuewu so blatantly, Wei Yan was so embarrassed and furious that she glared at the two maidservants, determined to beat Wei Yuewu to death today. It did not matter even if it was found out later that she ordered the killing of Wei Yuewu because this girl looked completely different from what was commonly said about her appearance.
As long as she said she mistook her for another, with her father and eldest sister on her side, grandmother couldn’t dig deep into the matter anyway. Besides, it was impossible that grandmother should like this cheap girl.
Driven by Wei Yan’s glare, the two maidservants started to move forward again with hesitating steps.
“Who dares!”
Wei Yuewu’s face turned ice-cold. Her eyes were so sharp and penetrating that the two maidservants stopped again and did not dare to come forward.
“How dare you two disobey my order? Somebody else, go and catch this cheap girl. I’ll take the responsibility for any consequences.”
Wei Yan clapped her hands repeatedly on the chair rails, her face livid with angry.
She had come here and prepared such a scene with the purpose of getting rid of Wei Yuewu by force. To achieve what she wanted, she also brought several most trusted servants of hers. After exchanging glances, another two maidservants came down. Though they were not as strong as the first two, they walked forward with firm steps, apparently determined to carry out Wei Yan’s command.
Jin Ling took two steps forward and stood in front of Wei Yuewu with glaring eyes as if she would start a life-and-death struggle with anyone who dared to approach.
