Chapter 16 Lying through your teeth
Meng yiniag and Wu JingHua start to feel happy. Looks like the matter of Wu SheYue injuring 8th prince has made a few people in the house irritated.
The two walk forward to give their greetings and then see that on the ground is a person kneeling.
"This is……." Meng yiniang takes a look at the person. Look at her delicate and charming face, a weeping beauty that could seduce anyone. Just like that Yin QiuMing who was like a fox spirit. Additionally, she looks somewhat familiar.
Old Madam opens her eyes. Her eyes doesn"t show any anger. With a light tone she says. "Looks like all of you are well informed. Know what happened so quickly."
Meng yiniang and Liu shi give a small smile. Zhao shi keeps a straight face.
Wu HanTian glances at Wu SheYue and sighs. "Alright, all of you sit down. Now that everyone is here, YueEr, tell us what happened to your face."
Meng yiniang had not even properly sat down when she heard this and stood up again. With disbelief, she points at Wu SheYue. "Wh-what?This is Yue——"
Liu shi sarcastically laughs a little. "Meng jiejie take a seat. We also had the same expression you had. Don"t not believe it but our Prime Minister Manor"s Third Miss is getting ready to take flight."
Old Madam lowers her head and promptly says, "Lao san, say something."
老三 – Lao san, it"s used to refer to the third son/daughter of the family by the older people. In this case, Old Madam is referring to Wu SheYue since she is the third miss.
From the beginning, Wu SheYue hadn"t been able to react to what was happening. When she entered, she was forced to kneel and then everybody fell silent. She was almost about to fall asleep. After thinking about it for a while she finally realized Lao san was referring to her. With realization, she raises her head to look at Old Madam.
Looking at her reaction, Old Madam sighs in her heart. This face surpa.s.ses LiuYun"s that child, it"s just that her reaction is still slow. A pity…….
Meng yiniang once again falls down onto the seat, her eyes burning with anger as she stares at Wu SheYue. Her heart is filled with shock, anger, and hate. No wonder, no wonder that fox charming face and Yin QiuMing are so similar. Looking at it, isn"t it just because Wu SheYue was able to get rid of the birthmark.
Ever since, Wu JingHua heard this bolt out of the blue, she started to quiver. Right now, she is sitting in the chair without any strength unable to comprehend anything.
Everything changed too fast. Before, besides Wu LiuYun, she always believed that because she is the best looking and interacts with Old Madam to establish a connection, she is able to have Old Madam like her a lot. Even if she is not liked as much as Wu LiuYun, amongst the concubine born daughter, she is the only one. How is it that this ugly person"s face was, was able to suddenly become prettier?
Seeing Liu Shi"s words dripping with sarcasm and Meng yiniang forgetting oneself, Wu LiuYun who was looking on coldly opens her mouth finally to say with disgust, "He~What big matter, able to make all of you so anxious and scared?"
She has always turned her nose up at these lowly illegitimate daughters and concubines. Usually, she pays no attention to them at all. Grandmother already promised that everything in the Prime Minister Manor is the main branches legitimate first born son and daughter. Yet these people are still fighting for favor, thinking about taking what is not theirs. Laughable.
Even if this Third younger sister became beautiful today, Wu LiuYun still thinks that it"s just a person with a lowly status. If it wasn"t for her mother dragging her over, she wouldn"t have wanted to waste her time coming here.
Seeing her own daughter unhappy, Madam reaches out a hand to pat the back of Wu LiuYun"s hand. "There, there~your grandmother is still here."
Wu JingHua and Wu LiXiang press their lips together not daring to retort. In their heart they thought, "Easier said than done for you." Only Wu YinEr is standing behind Zhao shi trying to make herself as small as possible and not moving.
Under the sweeping gazes of many people, Wu SheYue finally made up an excuse. The elderly people from ancient times definitely believe in feudalistic superst.i.tion so if she starts talking about stuff like G.o.d and Buddha, it can"t go wrong.
Wu SheYue pitifully rubs her eyes and with a soft tone she says, "YueEr…….was kneeling in the mourning hall last night and started feeling dizzy and sleepy. Somehow, I dreamt of mothe——Yin yiniang."
Could it be an appearance in one"s dream to make a request? Old Madam"s eyes start to glitter. "What did she say to you?"
YueEr dreamt that yiniang was surrounded by a golden light, it was very dazzling. She said many strange things that I can"t remember but I remember her rubbing my face with her hands…….After I woke up, I felt that I had become clear and bright. I was able to think clearly.
Wu HanTian looks carefully at this daughter, this daughter that he had not clearly looked these 10 years. Seeing Wu HanTian looking, Madam"s heart feels heavy.
Old Madam continues to question Wu SheYue. "What happened afterwards?"
"YueEr didn"t think much about it. In the morning, NingEr said I had sweat on my face and told me to wash my face. After washing my face, the water unexpectedly turned red. I had thought I was about to die wuwuwu……." Saying this, Wu SheYue started to cry.
*wuwuwu – sfx for crying
Wu JingHua doesn"t know if other believe her or not but when she heard it she immediately knew Wu SheYue was lying. In a moment, she was about to stand up to yell at Wu SheYue. Yesterday afternoon, she was full of vigor and being unreasonable. Now, she"s pretending to be delicate and say Yin shi made in appearance in her dream to make a request? She"s literally trying to deceive everyone! Meng yiniang knows that Wu JingHua is not able to hold in her anger so she holds onto Wu JingHua"s hand silently warning her.
Old Madam sighs. "Aiya, stop crying~what happened next?"
"Afterwards…….YueEr looked into the water and saw that the birthmark was gone." Wu SheYue uses an innocent tone to finish this lie.
The many yiniangs narrow their eyes after hearing this. Although the reason is a bit weird, but it seems that this reason also makes sense. Originally, they thought Third guniang is useless but she has changed a lot right now…….this however, is not a good thing for them.
