Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 79



Chapter 79 – Drag Her Down And Beat Her To Death

“What happened?” The Madam Dowager called the two maids in and found they were Wei Yuewu’s maids. Her expression turned cold and she asked in a stern voice.

“Your Ladyship, go quickly to take a look please. Second Lady blamed our young miss for not protecting Second Young Lady. She took her people there and asked them to beat our young miss to death.” Shufei burst into tears out of anxiety.

“What!” The Madam Dowager sprung to her feet. Because of the great strength of her movement, her figure struck the table and the teacup fell to the ground with a crisp breaking sound.

“Second Lady… Second Lady wants our young miss’s life!” Huamo also began to cry.

“Let’s go!” The Madam Dowager gritted her teeth. With no time to take care of the teacup on the ground, she hurried out with her servants. Shufei and Huamo hurriedly followed!

“Well, well, you actually dare to be so disrespectful to your elders. Beat her with all your strength!” Lady Li always domineered over the backyard of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. She had become used to thinking herself as the real Marquise Hua Yang. No one had ever dared to refute her as Wei Yuewu had done. At this moment, her face alternated between blue and pale and was filled with anger and embarrassment.

She didn’t expect this bitch to have such a sharp tongue. However, she didn’t want to argue with her at this moment. As long as she thought about her daughter’s hopeless face, her heart ached as if it had been cut by a knife. Wei Yan and Marquis Jing Yuan were a perfect match without Wei Yuewu, but now…

A menial old maidservant saw Lady Li’s fierce and ferocious face. She did not dare to neglect the lady and after a while of hesitation, she reached out to pull Wei Yuewu. However, Jin Ling seized her with backhand and slapped her in the face fiercely. The woman stumbled a few steps back and fell to the ground. Her face immediately swelled up.

“Second Aunt, this is the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. The servants here must be servants of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang! Am I right?” Wei Yuewu smiled coldly. Her watery eyes shined with light as she coldly looked at the old maidservants around her.

Of course this was the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, so the real mistress in charge should be Wei Yuewu but not Lady Li from the second branch!

Moreover, Wei Yuewu was the only first daughter of Marquis Hua Yang. After realizing this point, the other menial old maidservants looked at the miserable appearance of the woman who dared to hit Wei Yuewu, and they retreated even further. This Sixth Miss Wei didn’t seem to be easy to deal with. They were just servants, servants of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

It was said that Lord Marquis was coming back to the capital…

Everyone shivered at the thought of Lord Marquis. Their eyes were mixed with traces of hesitation when they looked at Wei Yuewu.

Seeing that the menial servants were retreating, Lady Li got furious. She made another decision and gave a look with her eyes to her own trusted confidants as a signal to take action by themselves to kill or cripple Wei Yuewu.

Those servants who followed Lady Li, of course, were most trusted by Lady Li. However, now they remembered the gloomy and fierce face of Marquis Hua Yang like the other servants, and none of them was as fierce as before. Yet compelled by Lady Li’s glaring eyes, two nurses gritted their teeth and went to pull Wei Yuewu.

Regardless of whether this was the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang or not, their mistress was the Second Lady.

As for Lord Marquis, the Second Lady would deal with him. Such was the two nurses’ thought, so that they dared to pull Wei Yuewu. Jin Ling was about to fend off their attack when Wei Yuewu tugged her sleeve as a signal for her to stop. Wei Yuewu’s attention was not entirely on Lady Li. She now heard quick footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.

She could tell that quite a few people were coming. It should be the Madam Dowager. The corner of her lips silently curled into an icy mockery. She raised her face and looked up at Lady Li. Her voice wasn’t high but was loud enough for Lady Li to hear clearly.

‘”Second Aunt, I wonder how you are going to do with Second Elder Sister after she has caused such trouble. She failed as a lady and disgraced our family and the whole mansion is tainted because of her. I heard that girls with such behaviors would have their legs broken by hitting or would have to cultivate their characters in confinement for the rest of their lives. I wonder how you are going to do with her, Second Aunt?”

Wei Yuewu’s position was close to Lady Li. Now she raised her head up, Lady Li could clearly see the mockery on her face. After hearing that Wei Yuewu wanted to break Wei Yan’s leg and lock her up for the rest of her life, Lady Li was so angry that her entire face was twisted and her face was filled with hatred and viciousness.

“Quick, drag this bitch down and beat her to death. Beat her to death.” Lady Li shouted hysterically, her entire body trembling with anger.

By this time, her two trusted nurses had already moved to the front of Wei Yuewu. One of them stretched out a hand to pull Wei Yuewu. Wei Yuewu lost her balance and fell to one side. Jin Ling reached out to protect her but was dragged down to the ground as well. She immediately let out an earth-shattering scream.

“Ah, you knocked Miss unconscious.”

The two nurses were shocked. They only touched Wei Yuewu’s sleeves. Before they could exert any strength, Wei Yuewu and Jin Ling fell to the ground together, and they were also pulled to the ground.

More coincidentally, those nearby also inexplicably fell to the ground one after another. They all started groaning.

Chaos was a word far from enough to describe the scene.

“All of you, stop!” A loud sharp voice came from the door, followed by the sound of a crutch knocking against the ground. Lady Li had been shouting, but now her expression froze. She looked at the door and saw the Madam Dowager standing there with an ashen face.

She couldn’t help but be shocked. When did the Madam Dowager come? She hadn’t noticed the least of it.

The appearance of the Madam Dowager made the entire hall quiet down. The old maidservants and maids who had inexplicably fallen to the ground hurriedly got up without daring to say anything. Wei Yuewu was seen lying in Jin Ling’s arms with closed eyes. She was surprisingly unconscious.

The large block of bloodstain on her cuff was dazzling in everyone’s eyes.

Seeing the blood on Wei Yuewu’s sleeve, the Madam Dowager’s expression darkened. She walked over and crouched down in front of Wei Yuewu. She lifted Wei Yuewu’s sleeve and saw the bandage inside. She frowned and asked, “Now tell me, what has happened?”

‘”Miss was injured in the palace. The Crown Prince and the Third Princess asked an imperial physician to bandage the wound. However, when we were on the way back to the mansion, our carriage was deliberately knocked over, so Miss was injured again. After we got to the mansion, before we got any rest, the Second Lady immediately took her people here to beat Miss to death. Your Ladyship, please do our miss justice.”

Jin Ling glared angrily at the Second Lady up there and uttered those words as she held Wei Yuewu in her arms.

“Your Ladyship, our young miss’s carriage was knocked over. Someone must have tried to kill her. The coachman was outside. If Your Ladyship did not believe me, you could bring him in and ask him! I thought that now Miss was at her own home, she would be taken good care of. I never thought that time and time again, she almost lost her life. In this case, Miss had better go back!”

If there was anyone who was so crazy as to be bent on taking Wei Yuewu’s life in this mansion, there would be no one other than Lady Li and her daughter.

After finishing her words, Jin Ling supported Wei Yuewu up with much strength to let her half lean on her body, and then tried to get up.

The carriage had been overturned and the coachman could give testimony. The Madam Dowager’s heart skipped a beat. A hint of shade appeared at the corners of her eyes. She signaled to Nanny Hong who was beside her. Nanny Hong hurriedly came over and helped Jin Ling to support Wei Yuewu up.

“Help Sixth Young Lady to her courtyard and let her take a rest first. The wound is opened. Sixth Young Lady is not in good health. She must have a good rest as soon as possible.” Nanny Hong said to Jin Ling in a low voice as she helped lift Wei Yuewu up. All her attention was focused on Wei Yuewu’s health. As for the mentioning of Wei Yuewu going back, she didn’t give the slightest care.

Speaking of her young mistress’ health, Jin Ling hesitated for a moment. She looked at Wei Yuewu’s deathly pale face and then at her blood-stained sleeve. Finally, she gave in and nodded, “Please, Nanny Hong, help me take Miss back to her courtyard.”

“Let us do it.” Before Nanny Hong could reply, Shufei and Huamo, who had followed here, walked over together.

As Wei Yuewu had fainted, of course she couldn’t walk by herself. Nanny Hong saw that all the three maids were here, so she sent someone to get a soft-cushioned sedan chair and a few menial old maidservants to carry Wei Yuewu to Lotus Courtyard. Meanwhile, she hurriedly went to send for Doctor Ming.

On the other side, Lady Li saw the Madam Dowager walking over with a dark expression and guiltily addressed her, “Mother…”

A crisp slap was heard. Everyone looked in shock at the Madam Dowager and Lady Li who was covering her face…

The Madam Dowager actually embarrassed Lady Li in front of so many servants. This was something that had never happened before.

“Idiot! You… Look what you’ve done…” The Madam Dowager’s face turned ashen with anger. She pointed at Lady Li with a trembling hand. Her years of planning was destroyed by Lady Li in a single day. Of course she was furious. At this time, she simply ignored the presence of servants in the room and shouted sternly, “Kneel down!”

“Mother! Wei Yan is worse off than dead now!” Lady Li did not expect the Madam Dowager to be so angry. The slap struck her into blankness. She was both humiliated and shocked, and tears were about to fall down her cheeks.

“Kneel down!” The Madam Dowager bellowed again with a stern face.

Looking at the Madam Dowager’s gloomy face, Lady Li dropped to her knees and argued with tears in her eyes, “She pushed Wei Yan into this situation. Mother, I…I was just…Wei Yan…”

“I shouldn’t have allowed my second son to marry a woman like you back then. You have caused such a terrible situation for him that…” Nanny Hong had returned by this time. She hurriedly helped the Madam Dowager to sit down in the middle chair and waved her hand. The other servants then all retreated. Even she herself cautiously retreated to the door, lowered her head and stood there in silence.

She knew the reason behind this, but she couldn’t say it.

But now, like the Madam Dowager, she felt that the Second Lady was indeed stupid.

She, as the Second Lady, was never the official mistress of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. How could she fail to understand the situation?

The Madam Dowager had turned a blind eye to the battle between her and Marquise Hua Yang in the past because that was what the Madam Dowager had hoped for.

As for what happened afterwards, the Madam Dowager also knew them all. The Madam Dowager didn’t say anything only because the Second Lady’s moves at the time were just what she wanted to see. The Madam Dowager wouldn’t allow a woman she disliked to have a higher position than her.

Did the Second Lady really think that the Madam Dowager knew nothing about what she had done?

“Mother, Wei Yan….” Lady Li wanted to argue more.

“You only remember that you have a daughter. Don’t you know that you have already married and that you have a husband and also have a son? How could you… how could you take Yuewu’s life for the sake of a daughter? Do you think you are Marquise Hua Yang?” The Madam Dowager interrupted her harshly when she saw that Lady Li remained stubborn.

“Eldest Brother has no son…” Lady Li said recalcitrantly. Marquis Hua Yang didn’t have a son, whether from his wife or his concubine. From Lady Li’s point of view, the property of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang would finally fall into the hand of her son Wei Ziyang.

Although she wasn’t Marquise Hua Yang at present, she would, justifiably, become Madam Dowager after Marquis Hua Yang died. She would of course be the mistress in charge of this mansion.

“No son! Which one of your eyes sees that he has no son!” The Madam Dowager slammed the table angrily and shot out those words. However, she immediately realized her slip of tongue. Flustered and exasperated, she slapped Lady Li again in the face…
