Chapter 269 – Lady Li Shot Herself In The Foot

Wei Yuewu hesitated for a moment, but it seemed that Lady Li’s words had attracted her, so she said to Jin Ling, “Jin Ling, go to the kitchen and come back as soon as possible!”

“Yes, I will be back soon!” Since Wei Yuewu had given her an order, Jin Ling could only agree.

Then, she hurriedly left with the old maidservant.

The room quieted down. Only Lady Li and Wei Yuewu were left in the room. Lady Li pressed her forehead and felt a little dizzy. It seemed that she had been too exhausted recently.

After punishing this slut, she would also need to take a good rest and prepare to return to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

Without Wei Yuewu blocking her way, it would not be difficult for her to return to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Moreover, her eldest son Wei Ziyang was back now. No matter what, the Madam Dowager and Old Master would forgive her for the sake of Ziyang. Lady Li knew this very well.

As for Concubine Dong, she was just an insignificant concubine. Could she really overturn the heavens? Although she was very close to Concubine Dong on the surface, in her heart, Lady Li really looked down on Concubine Dong. historical

Moreover, Concubine Dong used to be a maid. How could she compare with her?

“Second Aunt, can you tell me now?” Wei Yuewu picked up the teacup and took another sip before raising her head to ask.

“Actually, this is not difficult to understand..” Lady Li also picked up her teacup and took a sip. Of course, she didn’t really know why Mo Huating wanted to kill Wei Yuewu. Although she was also suspicious in the beginning, she couldn’t figure out why.

At this time, she was just using this topic to arouse Wei Yuewu’s interest to buy time. Seeing Wei Yuewu was still very spirited, Lady Li became anxious.

Could it be that the amount was not enough? How come this slut didn’t show any symptom? As Lady Li became anxious, she faintly felt her entire body heating up.

“Second Aunt, please speak.” Seeing Lady Li’s gradually blushing face, Wei Yuewu’s eyes became colder and colder. Sure enough, the medicine in the tea was aphrodisiac.

“I didn’t understand it before, but later I found that there was something suspicious. I also asked Wei Yan in private, but she refused to tell me..” Seeing that Wei Yuewu was fine, Lady Li became more and more irritated. She forced herself to calm down and said slowly, “Let’s talk inside.”

With these words, Lady Li stood up and walked into the inner room.

Wei Yuewu got up and walked in. “Second Aunt, we can talk here. Why do we have to talk inside?”

In the inner room, Lady Li was already sitting on a chair by the bed in frustration. She pointed at the bed and said to Wei Yuewu, “Sit down first. I’ll tell you slowly!”

Wei Yuewu did not sit down. Instead, she looked at the bed suspiciously and then looked at the only chair by the bed. “Second Aunt, why don’t you sit on the bed?”

“Are you suspicious of something? Fine, I will sit there.” Lady Li sneered and sat on the bed. As long as Wei Yuewu entered the inner room, her plan was basically successful. She really didn’t care where she was sitting.

Wei Yuewu sat down on the chair and smiled. “Second Aunt, how could I not suspect you of something!”

These words were extremely rude. Lady Li was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but she felt a burst of heat in front of her eyes and her entire head was dizzy. She subconsciously reached out and pulled open her collar. She panted and said, “Wei Yuewu, what.. what do you mean?”

“Nothing. Second Aunt looks very hot. I’ll go get a cup of tea for you!” Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Wei Yuewu stood up and said.

Then, she turned around and went out. Lady Li wanted to stop her, but her whole body went limp and she fell on the bed. For a moment, she had no strength at all. She could only watch Wei Yuewu going out, and the scenery in front of her became more and more blurred. The heat spread all over her body and she pulled the clothes off her body in a frenzy.

After the elapse of an unknown amount of time, Lady Li felt a figure appearing in front of her, and she subconsciously threw herself at the person..

After leaving the inner room, Wei Yuewu went straight out of the house. Then, she left the courtyard and sat on a stone in the corner of the courtyard.

There were trees in front of her. Although there were few leaves on the trees, because she was in the corner, nobody would notice her at all. However, from her angle, she could clearly see people coming and going.

Not long after she left, she saw that old maidservant leading a man in. Then, the old maidservant waited for a while in a sneaky manner before covering her mouth and leaving with a smile. She was going to lure people over now.

There were quite a few guests today. Just now, a few madams were playing in the front and it was easy for her to lure them over! As for Lady Li, she had said before that in order to show that she was not present when the incident occurred, she would go to the frontyard to be seen by others.

Therefore, the old maidservant wasn’t anxious when she didn’t see Lady Li.

Not long after she left, Wei Yuewu saw Wei Qiuju leading Wei Luowu over, followed by Wei Qiuju’s maid and Jin Ling who both looked anxious.

It was time. Looking at the small stone under her foot and the crack in the wall, Wei Yuewu gritted her teeth and placed the small stone next to the crack in the wall. She picked up the corner of her skirt, stepped on the stone, and exerted a bit of strength with her foot.

Such a small stone couldn’t support a person at all. Immediately, her foot tilted to one side and was stuck in the crack. There was a sharp pain in her ankle. Wei Yuewu fell to the ground, and her face turned pale in pain. She reached out trying to touch her ankle but failed. Needless to say, she had twisted her foot!

She couldn’t help but cry out in pain.

“Miss!” Jin Ling’s ears were particularly sharp. She immediately heard the sound and said to Wei Luowu, “Second Master, I heard Miss’ voice.”

“Find her quickly!” Wei Luowu had rushed over after hearing that something had happened to Wei Yuewu. How come this niece had an accident in Li Mansion shortly after his eldest brother left!

Jin Ling led the people over to find Wei Yuewu. When she saw Wei Yuewu sitting on the ground in pain with her head covered in cold sweat, Jin Ling rushed over and was about to help Wei Yuewu up. She said anxiously, “Miss, what happened? Where did you go just now? I couldn’t find you and was so anxious. Later, I met Fifth Young Lady. She took me to find the Second Master for help.”

Seeing that Wei Yuewu’s situation was indeed not good, Wei Qiuju also hurried over to help her.

Wei Yuewu was helped up by the two of them, and her face was as pale as paper. “Thank you, Second Uncle and Fifth Elder Sister.”

“Go to the courtyard over there and take a rest!” Wei Luowu looked around. There was a courtyard in front of them. Then, he ordered the lad servant beside him, “Go, fetch a doctor!”

“Yes, my lord!” The lad servant ran away swiftly.

“Second.. Second Uncle, let’s go to the courtyard in the frontyard. This.. this place..” Wei Yuewu suddenly stammered, her face full of panic.

“What’s wrong?” Wei Luowu was suspicious and asked.

“No.. nothing. I feel that the fengshui here is not good. I.. I accidentally missed my foot and fell when I went past here.” Wei Yuewu became more and more hesitant in her speech.

Her eyes flickered as she spoke, which made Wei Luowu even more suspicious.

Originally, he would not insist on going into this courtyard. He just felt that this courtyard was a bit closer. Now that Wei Yuewu had sprained her ankle, she must be treated as quickly as possible. That was why he picked this courtyard without thinking.

However, after hearing Wei Yuewu’s hesitant excuse, he felt that he had to go in and take a look. His face could not help but sink.

“Miss, how did you miss your foot? Did something happen that startled you? The road is quite smooth and clean. How come you sprained your ankle?” Jin Ling asked with a puzzled expression as she looked at the road.

Although this place was close to the wall, the road was basically level and clean. How could one fall down while walking normally? Unless Wei Yuewu was in a panic, she wouldn’t have sprained her ankle.

Wei Luowu looked up at the gate in front of him. His eyes turned cold and he strode forward.

“Second Uncle, you.. you had better not go..” Wei Yuewu’s eyes flashed.

“Why?” Wei Luowu stopped and asked.

“I.. I..” Wei Yuewu’s face turned slightly red, but she lowered her head and was speechless.

Wei Luowu snorted and ignored Wei Yuewu as he strode towards the gate. Wei Yuewu helplessly said to Wei Qiuju, “Fifth Elder Sister, let’s go over and take a look as well, maybe.. maybe I didn’t see it clearly..”

Her last sentence was rather puzzled and she seemed to be talking to herself, as if even she herself could not tell if it was true or not.

By now, Wei Luowu was sure that Wei Yuewu was hiding something from him, and the reason why she sprained her ankle was that she had seen something extraordinary.

The courtyard door was pushed open, and the courtyard was very quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing.

However, there was a faint sound coming from the middle room. Wei Luowu frowned and looked behind him, where Wei Yuewu moved carefully with the support of Jin Ling and Wei Qiuju. He turned and strode into the room.

Needless to say, this room was the reason for Wei Yuewu’s panic. He really wanted to see what was going on inside the room.

Outside the courtyard, the old maidservant was leading a few ladies over.

In a pavilion in the back of Li Mansion, a cold and handsome man slowly walked down. He quietly listened to the guard beside him reporting in a low voice. He nodded slightly and left directly through a corner behind.

A carriage was already there, almost facing the side door. Coming out from the side door, the cold and handsome man got into the carriage. Even if there were people outside, they would not be able to see his face clearly. Then, the coachman waved his whip and the carriage set off. It slowly drove out of the small alley and onto the main road outside before disappearing into the crowded street.

The servants guarding the gate of Li Mansion seemed to be used to this kind of scene. They opened the gate with familiarity and watched out, but they did not find anything unusual. Then, they silently closed the gate.

Today, the front gate of Li Mansion was the busiest place. No one noticed what was happening at the side door!

“You..” Seeing Wei Yuewu and the others standing in the courtyard, the ladies were stunned for a moment. However, one of them immediately recognized Wei Yuewu and asked with a smile, “Are you a young lady from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang?”

Li Mansion and the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang were in-laws, so it was normal to see young ladies from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang here.

“Yes, madam, are you..” Wei Yuewu raised her watery eyes and asked with interest. Then, her gaze fell on the old maidservant, whose face was ghostly pale without a trace of vigor.

“We are here to take a rest. It was said that there are some nice pastries here!” A lady said politely and was about to walk in.

“Um, please wait a moment. My Second Uncle is inside.” Wei Yuewu said with a smile.

Since the Second Master of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was here, it was indeed not appropriate for these ladies to go in. The ladies couldn’t help but stop in their tracks. Someone suddenly noticed that Wei Yuewu’s expression was unusual. She was supported by two persons and one of her feet was slightly raised. Her face looked extremely pale and weak.

“What happened to Sixth Miss Wei? Are you injured?” A lady asked kindly.

Before Wei Yuewu could reply, a scream suddenly rang out, causing everyone to turn around in shock. They looked at the half-opened door in shock..
