Chapter 200

“Fourth Prince, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know it was your safety talisman.” Said the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an, cupping his hands to Fourth Prince.

The two of them were cousins and grew up together. Of course, it was impossible for them to really care about such a thing. Moreover, in the beginning, it was only said that a young lady picked up Fourth Prince’s safety talisman.

“Forget it, it’s nothing. It’s just…” The Fourth Prince was also stunned. Things had developed completely beyond his expectations. No one would have thought that a safety talisman would actually expose the affair between the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an and Fifth Miss Wei from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

“Your Heir-apparent, don’t talk nonsense. How could you send safety talisman to Fifth Younger Sister? After Fifth Younger Sister entered the mansion, she has been staying with me. You have been in the outer courtyard, so it is impossible for you to send anything in.” Seeing that the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an was actually wholeheartedly defending Wei Qiuju regardless of her face, Wei Fengyao gritted her teeth in hatred, but she slowly calmed down.

“I’ve already entered the inner courtyard. I’ve accompanied the Fourth Prince for a while. Otherwise, how could the Fourth Prince lose his safety talisman in the garden?” The Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an said impatiently. He felt that Wei Fengyao was so annoying.

He had already admitted there was an affair between Wei Qiuju and him, which he thought wasn’t a big issue. In this case, he could have a beautiful lady as his concubine. What was wrong with that? Wei Fengyao was now making trouble for him and she wasn’t broad-minded at all.

“You can’t do it. Wei Qiuju’s conduct is not good. She can’t enter Prince Nan’an Mansion.” Wei Fengyao’s face was ashen as she roared angrily. She hated the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an for defending Wei Qiuju so much.

“Eldest Sister, give Fifth Elder Sister a chance to survive!” Wei Yuewu sighed and helped Wei Qiuju stand up with Yueya. “Even I can forgive Fifth Elder Sister, why can’t you forgive her?”

She was referring to the fact that Wei Qiuju smeared her a moment ago. But now everyone knew that Wei Qiuju had an affair with a man. No one wanted to be discovered by others to do such a thing, especially since the man was her brother-in-law. No matter what, she shouldn’t do such a thing. It was therefore understandable that Wei Qiuju had just gone all out to testify against Wei Yuewu to cover up her affair with the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an.

When these words were spoken by Wei Yuewu, people thought that she really cared about her elder sister.

“Fifth Elder Sister, why don’t you beg Eldest Sister?” Wei Yuewu then said to Wei Qiuju.

Wei Qiuju immediately got her message and she immediately understood. She knelt down in front of Wei Fengyao and hugged Wei Fengyao’s leg, crying, “Sorry Eldest Sister, I… His Heir-apparent and I……I, I’m sorry… It’s my fault…”

She cried so hard that she couldn’t speak, but her hands were tightly hugging Wei Fengyao’s legs.

She also extremely hated Wei Fengyao. If it wasn’t for Wei Fengyao, she wouldn’t have been so close to being imprisoned. Since something had gone wrong, Wei Fengyao couldn’t dream of pushing it all onto her and making her a scapegoat.

“Alright, Fengyao, take it easy. Can’t I have an extra woman in my backyard?” Seeing that his beloved beauty was crying so sadly, the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an flung his sleeves in displeasure.

Wei Fengyao’s legs were hugged by Wei Qiuju as she heard the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an’s nonsense. Her entire body trembled with anger. She couldn’t conceal the hatred in her heart, “Your Heir-apparent, have you ever reported this to Her Highness? What will happen when Her Highness finds out about this?”

Thinking of his powerful mother, Princess Nan’an, the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an couldn’t help but hesitate. Princess Nan’an wasn’t Wei Fengyao, so he would definitely be severely punished if he offended her.

At this moment, Wei Qiuju also became clever. Seeing that the situation was going against her, she looked at the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an with a pair of eyes filled with tears and wept sadly, “Your Heir-apparent, if you are so hesitant… why did you hanker after me in the first place? Forget it, forget it, since neither Eldest Sister nor Your Heir-apparent has pity for me, I will die to apologize to you! ”

As she spoke, she suddenly stood up, covered her head with sleeves and slammed towards the pillar beside the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an.

“Fifth Young Lady, no!” Seeing that the beauty was about to lose her life in front of him, the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an didn’t care about anything else. He reached out and held Wei Qiuju in his arms and shouted anxiously.

Wei Qiuju had fainted by this time.

“Eldest Sister…” Seeing the farce in front of her, Wei Qiufu had no choice but to plead on behalf of Wei Qiuju. After all, she and Wei Qiuju were both daughters of the third branch, so she must say a few words for her at this time. Otherwise, people would feel that she was cold-hearted. “Eldest Sister, please let go of Fifth Younger Sister!”

“Eldest Sister, forget it!” Wei Yuejiao also echoed on the side. Today’s matter had developed beyond everyone’s expectations.

“Eldest Sister, look at Fifth Elder Sister. Just give her a chance to live. Whatever Eldest Sister says in the future, Fifth Younger Sister will listen to you!” Wei Yuewu raised her eyes and her gaze coldly landed on Wei Fengyao’s face.

When such a calm and cold gaze fell in Wei Fengyao’s eyes, Wei Fengyao felt it was almost equivalent to ridicule and provocation. In her precise plan, Wei Yuewu was the one who would lose her reputation. But now, she dropped the stone on her own feet. There was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes. Needless to say, today’s matter must have something to do with Wei Yuewu.

She fiercely thought that she would in no case give her consent today, and she would like to see how Wei Qiuju could enter the mansion. But in the next moment, the cold smile on her face froze.

While she gritted her teeth and refused to admit Wei Qiuju, Wei Yuewu had already turned to the Fourth Prince for help. After a graceful bow, she pleaded, “Your Highness, I beg you to make things right for Fifth Elder Sister!”

Wei Fengyao was already furious now. Well, she hoped that the angrier Wei Fengyao got, the better. Wasn’t there still a farce that hadn’t started yet?

The Fourth Prince said gently, “Don’t worry, I will report this matter to Mother Empress.”

After the initial fury, the Fourth Prince had completely calmed down. He was very disdainful of this Fifth Miss Wei. A young lady in aristocratic family actually did not behave properly and had an affair with her eldest sister’s husband. From whichever perspective, Fifth Miss Wei was not a well-educated person.

But when he realized that she was just a concubine-born daughter, he felt that everything she had done made sense!

He had heard that Fifth Miss Wei’s reputation wasn’t that good before.

However, he originally didn’t want to interfere in this matter. In any case, his cousin was also a notorious playboy, and he and this Fifth Young Lady made a perfect match.

However, the Sixth Young Lady that he appreciated also spoke in favor of Wei Qiuju. Therefore, the Fourth Prince felt that he might as well offer a helping hand, which wasn’t a big thing for him at all.

“Thank you, Your Highness!” The Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an was also very smart at this time. He looked at Wei Yuewu gratefully and hurriedly thanked the Fourth Prince. Things would be completely different if the Empress gave her consent.

If the Empress agreed, then Princess Nan’an would agree no matter what. After that, Princess Nan’an could go to the palace and ask for royal permission to make Fifth Miss Wei his secondary concubine. That would be great!

Although Wei Qiuju, who was being held by him, had her eyes closed, she had been listening carefully. Now that she heard that the Fourth Prince agreed to help, she heaved a sigh of relief and knew that she would definitely enter Prince Nan’an Mansion.

Wei Fengyao looked at Wei Yuewu, almost unable to hide the hatred in her eyes. She clenched her teeth and winked at the maid standing behind Jin Ling.

Although Jin Ling had moved along with Wei Yuewu, she wasn’t standing too close to Wei Yuewu now.

After being pushed by the maid beside her, she leaned over to Wei Yuewu. Unexpectedly, Wei Yuewu seemed to have something to tell Wei Fengyao and she actually started to walk towards Wei Fengyao.

“Eldest Sister, what do you think?” Wei Yuewu asked Wei Fengyao, standing opposite her.

With Wei Fengyao’s hint, the maid kept pushing Jin Ling, who couldn’t help but move along with Wei Yuewu. The maid swung her sleeves and stood behind Wei Yuewu. At this time, the puppy had woken up completely. Its eyes were bloodshot under its curly hair and it suddenly detected an attractive smell. It widened its eyes and leaned forward, screaming ferociously!

The puppy stretched out its claws and grabbed towards the face of Wei Yuewu who was standing in front of it.

The thing happened all of a sudden, and someone couldn’t help but cry out in alarm. In the blink of an eye, the extremely beautiful face was about to be destroyed by the puppy’s claws. Even Wei Qiufu couldn’t help but sigh.

Such a beautiful face was almost a masterpiece of the heavens, and it was about to be destroyed.

The Fourth Prince wanted to help, but he realized that the distance between the two of them was too far. He couldn’t do anything, so he was extremely anxious.

However, in the next moment, the puppy suddenly flew forward over Wei Yuewu’s shoulder. It fiercely clawed at Wei Fengyao’s face.

“Ah!” Wei Fengyao covered her face in pain and fell to the ground with a miserable scream. She rolled on the ground. Everyone was shocked, unable to react for a moment. They stared blankly as Wei Fengyao kept kicking and rolling on the ground.

The Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and shouted, “Hurry… hurry up and get a doctor, hurry up and go!”

Immediately, servants starting running out, some to fetch an imperial doctor and some to report to Princess Nan’an, while the mad puppy was also restrained by Fourth Prince’s guards.

Wei Qiuju also opened her eyes and looked nervously at the puppy. She clearly remembered what Wei Fengyao had specifically instructed her to do when she told her to send the writing brush to Wei Yuewu. “You must put it where the puppy can smell it.”

Could it have something to do with the writing brush that she had sent to Wei Yuewu?

The other three maids who were holding the puppies couldn’t hold them anymore. They all put the puppies on the ground and hid far away.

These things happened all at once. When people looked at the puppy that was struggling and roaring in the hands of the guard, no one would think that it was cute at all.

The doctor was the first to arrive at the scene. By the time Princess Nan’an arrived, Wei Fengyao had already been taken to the wing room to be bandaged.

“What’s going on?” Princess Nan’an angrily swept across everyone’s face and finally landed her gaze on Wei Qiuju’s face. Someone had told her that her son had admitted to having an affair with the Fifth Young Lady of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Although the two of them did not make any movements at this time, it was clear that this Fifth Miss Wei was hiding behind her son.

“The puppy suddenly went crazy. It jumped out and scratched Fengyao in the face.” The Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an replied with a shocked expression. He looked at the struggling puppy in the guard’s hand with lingering fear.

Princess Nan’an was briefed on what had happened on her way here, so she no longer stared at Wei Qiuju. She turned over and asked Wei Yuewu, “This dog belongs to Sixth Miss Wei?”

“It’s just the puppy that Eldest Sister sent me yesterday.” Wei Yuewu said generously and suggested that the puppy was given to her by Wei Fengyao.

Someone was already examining the puppy, but they did not find anything. At this time, the person came up to report to Princess Nan’an, “Your Highness, it seems that this dog was stimulated by something and suddenly went berserk and hurt people.”

“What kind of stimulation did it receive?” Princess Nan’an asked with a deep gaze.

“Let me ask a few questions. Who was carrying the puppy just now?”

“Me!” Jin Ling replied.

“Have you ever done anything to it, such as stabbing, pinching, or hurting it?”

“No, I didn’t do anything to it. The puppy has been sleepy since it fell asleep last night. I saw it was asleep and carefully hugged it. If I had really hurt it, the puppy would have barked a long time ago. But before the accident, the puppy had been asleep.” Jin Ling replied with a confused expression.
