Chapter 15 Wishful Thinking
Wu SheYue"s thoughts are in turmoil, twisting and turning relentlessly. She"s no match for them in a head-on clash, so how about roundabout tactics? Who can she draw over to her side within this Prime Minister Manor?
XiYu Pavillion
XiYu Pavillion – 细雨轩. 细 – thin, slender. 雨 – rain. 轩 – pavillion
It"s early morning. Meng yiniang had tried to coax Wu JingHua into eating more but Wu JingHua was still apprehensive of what transpired yesterday. She merely glanced at the porridge and immediately looked away in disgust.
Meng yiniang let out a sigh. Just look at how they treated her baby girl. "You didn"t eat yesterday either. If you don"t eat now, you"ll ruin your health."
Wu JingHua furrowed her brows. "But one look and I feel disgusted, aiya yiniang I can"t tolerate this humiliation anymore!"
"Yiniang is able to hold it in, so you should too. Soon enough, yiniang will give that little b*tch what she deserves."
Just thinking back to how her daughter was…….Meng yiniang"s heart throbbed at the thought of it. She was so bothered that she could not sleep that night. That Chun Tao is also hateful, she herself suffered a loss from Wu SheYue and still called JingHua to get revenge for her.
But afterwards, Chun Tao"s body also was black and blue, but if she had her beaten up, Chun Tao wouldn"t be able to do work anymore so she could only punish her by taking away 2 months worth of allowance.
At this time, Qing Xing suddenly pushes open the door, she turns around to close the door before going up and whisper, "Second Madam, early in the morning, Jin momo from the Main Courtyard went to West Courtyard and then went to Liu shi"s place.
Liu shi – 柳氏, don"t know if I mentioned this before but 柳(Liu) means willow, and 氏(shi) is kind of to tell others this woman"s clan name or surname is Liu.
Meng yiniang becomes happy, the one who took the bait was actually someone from the main branch! "Then right now? Where did the person go?"
"Nubi saw Jin momo go into HeYe Pavilion and then come out, she"s probably already on the way back to Madam"s side."
Meng yiniang waves her hand dismissively. "I understand, you can go now. There"s no more need to monitor them."
"Understood."
After Qing Xing leaves, Wu JingHua pushes away the porridge in front of her. "How is it? Is it Wu LiuYun who did it?
Meng yiniang coldly laughs, "Whether or not if it is Wu LiuYun I don"t know, anyhow, it"s not Wu LiXiang."
T/N: Yes. It is the return of the names of characters who have not even appeared after like 8 chapters from when they were last mentioned.
"Why is that?"
"Think about it, based on Wu LiXiang"s personality, if she actually instigated that idiot to do something, she will definitely look from far away. That la.s.s pays too much attention to detail, wants to look but is also afraid to be roped in. Can she still have the thoughts to go in front of Wu LiuYun and take pleasure in others" misfortune?"
"Then……."
Meng yiniang feels helpless inside, this daughter of hers has been protected too much. Suffered a loss and can"t resist the urge to go and make a ruckus. "Anyhow, Wu SheYue has to be taken care of, able to bring another down with her is one going down with her. Eat this bowl of porridge, then we will go to Old Madam"s place to discuss yesterday"s matter."
Wu JingHua is not able to become happy, worriedly says, "Yiniang want to put the blame on Wu LiuYun? Grandma likes Wu LiuYun the most, will it work."
"Ai~You can"t look at it this way, since your grandma likes Wu LiuYun, then this matter you can"t blame her outright. This way, you will be able to gain some things."
Wu JingHua thinks about it. Grandma likes to protect Wu LiuYun, this dirty matter will be thrown at her. At that time, now only will your grandma pay out of her own pocket to pacify her, she will probably become biased against her. Anyhow, afterwards we will take care of Wu SheYue, let that idiot live peacefully for a while.
When she thinks about it like that, Wu JingHua feels better and eats two bites of the porridge.
Just before going out the door. Meng yiniang intentionally puts a little powder on Wu JingHua and had her wear light-colored clothing to make her face appear even more pale and her lips bloodless.
The mother and daughter pair didn"t bring Qing Xing and instead brought Chun Tao whose body was hurting all over with them. They walked all the way to QunXing Building"s entrance and saw Old Madam"s Head Maidservant Lian Ye welcoming the manor"s doctor inside.
Head Maidservant Lian Ye – 大丫鬟莲叶, 大丫鬟 – 丫鬟 means maidservant but there"s a 大 which means big so I a.s.sume 大丫鬟 means Head Maidservant but I"m not too sure about it. I looked at the manga raw and didn"t see a 大 in front of 丫鬟 so I don"t know if the 大 character was accidentally added in here or not. I"ll keep it as Head Maidservant for now. 莲叶 – the maid"s name, 莲 – lotus, 叶 – leaf.
T/N: When I searched up 大丫鬟, apparently it was the t.i.tle of a 2010 Chinese drama. The English name for it is if anyone is interested in watching it.
Meng yiniang walks up and grabs onto Lian Ye"s hand. She worriedly asks, "Lian Ye, is Old Madam not feeling well?"
Lian Ye glances at Meng yiniang and reveals a light laugh that is not too friendly yet also not cold. "Old Madam is fine. It"s just that 8th prince was injured at the entrance."
Meng yiniang is a little surprised. "8th Prince came to annul the engagement, how did he become injured?" Why is it that these two days anyone who has a connection with Wu SheYue met with mishap? Really is strange…….
Lian Ye cannot help but say, "Ai, 8th prince and Third Miss were arguing and then 8th prince was accidentally injured by an imperial bodyguard. Old Madam heard that 8th prince had come and so called someone to invite him into her courtyard. Master and Madam are also inside.
Wu JingHua asks, "Are we going in?"
"We"ve already walked to the entrance, let"s go inside." Meng yiniang smiles at Lian Ye and pulls Wu JingHua before going inside.
Wu JingHua turns around to Lian Ye who wished to speak but stopped on second thought. She then turns back and says to Meng yiniang, "Looks like that idiot really is crazy! No wonder she was like a mad dog yesterday!"
"That type of person, if she dies no one will even care. Yet she actually went and argued with 8th prince, she really is tired of living. If we go in now and talk about yesterday"s matter, you just wait for your anger to be vented."
Wu JingHua nods her head like a bobblehead.
Meng yiniang heart clams down. Just this situation, even if this idiot doesn"t die, a layer of her skin should be peeled off.
Meng yiniang walks in with Wu JingHua and see Old Madam sitting in the front with a cold face and her eyes closed to rest her mind. Madam is with Wu LiuYun sitting on the left side, one is drinking tea and the other is looking at her hand, paying no attention to other people. On the other hand, Liu shi & Wu LiXiang and Zhao shi & Wu YinEr are on the side standing with a profound meaning in their eyes.
Wu HanTian is pacing. His face is ashen and he looks utterly discomfited. From the inner room XinZhi"s continuous cries of pain can be heard. The manor doctor is probably being berated by XinZhi to the point of being frantic.
