Double update today. Although there was supposed to be one yesterday but that slipped my mind so double update today to make up for it.
Chapter 20 Power disperses
Liu shi is not able to see anything wrong with this but Old Madam furrows her brows. Wu SheYue is unable to tell if she knows something or not.
After seeing the people"s reactions with cold eyes, Wu SheYue suddenly feels as if Yin QiuMing"s death is more complicated than it seems.
She originally thought that it was actually like how NingEr said it was: XinZhi accidentally killed Yin QiuMing. Taking into account that he had to protect a prince"s reputation and that he didn"t care for Yin QiuMing, Wu Hantian lied and told everyone that she died from an illness, in this way he was also able to do a favor for XinZhi.
That"s why she is insistent on this matter and doesn"t plan on letting it go. However, looking at it now, there seems to be something wrong about the lie.
She also thought of another problem: If it really was Wu HanTian who helped XinZhi cover up the fact that he killed someone, doesn"t matter who killed, if they are favored or not, he shouldn"t be throwing a tantrum at Wu HanTian.
Ai, whatever, let"s first think about how she can get herself out of this mess. Wu SheYue sighs, taking care of this 8th Prince is the most important thing to do. After judging the situation, Wu SheYue thinks that continuing to chase after the matter with Yin QiuMing will not bring her any good so she can only change the topic back to the sentence she had said…….
"Please grandmother, don"t let 8th Prince kill YueEr. If YueEr is to die, YueEr would rather die at home."
Old Madam seems as if she let out a breath, she pats the arm that Wu SheYue is using to grab onto her. "Alright, alright, don"t cry anymore."
Although it may seem that Old Madam does not care, but she is able to see that Wu SheYue"s eyes are astute. Before she had never been fond of this granddaughter of hers, but now…….her mind is clear, later on this child will be of some use.
Wu SheYue doesn"t know Old Madam is thinking about, she wipes her tears. " Grandmother~"
Seeing that Wu SheYue learned to act coquettishly after getting better, Old Madam furrows her brows, this really is a person with a clear mind.
Old Madam pats Wu SheYue"s hands, in a very serious tone she said, "8th Prince, this matter is not something we can be careless about. In the end was it really was our YueEr who used a sword to injure you or was it that during the chaos you remembered incorrectly?"
XinZhi"s eyes suddenly lit up and becomes full of spirit again. He stands up and lifts his right hand and thrusts it in front of Wu HanTian and gestures at it. "Then this finger of mine was broken by her is something that is true! This prince"s hands are precious and was broken by her just like that? Your family must give me an explanation!"
Wu SheYue acts as if she is very angry to say, "Everybody heard you say you killed my yiniang, but who saw me breaking your hand!"
Hearing Wu SheYue mention Yin QiuMing again, Wu Han Tian feels as if his mind is about to explode. He estimates that if he gave Wu SheYue to 8th Prince, she will definitely not let go of the matter with Yin QiuMing. Also, 8th Prince, that person who everybody knows is a playboy, obviously took a fancy to the just cured Third guniang. If 8th Prince really married Wu SheYue and in order to make Wu SheYue happy told her about Yin QiuMing…….
Just thinking about this and his head is just about to explode.
XinZhi doesn"t that Wu HanTian had already thought that far, he still stomps his feet and yells at Wu SheYue, "You hid it! Your sleeves!" The more he says, the more angry he becomes, he reaches out wanting to use the fist that had been wrapped like a zongzi to lift Wu SheYue"s sleeves.
Seeing XinZhi wants to do something, Old Madam is so scared that she is about to stand up.
Wu HanTian quickly goes up and pulls on XinZhi"s arm. "Please wait 8th Prince! My concubine had just pa.s.sed away and she gave birth to YueEr. Yin shi had just pa.s.sed away three to five days ago. If YueEr is betrothed to someone this quickly it"s not logical. If 8th Prince still has some feelings for YueEr, then this matter is something that can be discussed later.
Wu HanTian knows that he can"t force Wu SheYue in this matter. If he really did send her to 8th Prince"s Manor then he won"t be able to keep an eye on 8th Prince that blabbermouth! It"s better if he uses Yin QiuMing"s matter to keep her here and then later on marry her off to some random house.
He is not afraid of Wu SheYue who is a small illegitimate daughter just afraid that he will come across an idiot who will do anything for a woman.
Wu HanTian had just finished speaking and XinZhi was about to calm down when Wu SheYue let out a small laugh.
As expected XinZhi became even angrier. Using his wrapped up fists, he points at Wu SheYue and Wu HanTian"s nose and starts trash talking. "You, and you! I see how it is! Since we aren"t able to reach a conclusion then I"m going to call in father emperor to judge this matter! You really think that the imperial family is this easy to bully?"
At this point, Old Madam really stands up. Madam quickly reaches out a hand to support her. "Aiya 8th Prince, that won"t do!"
Wu HanTian face becomes overcast. He probably never thought that XinZhi would stir up a big mess. Wu SheYue subtly feels that Wu HanTian is on the brink of explosion. However, it was a shame that he didn"t explode, he still uses a proper tone and att.i.tude to discuss. "8th Prince don"t be angry, why don"t we sit down and properly discuss this matter, drink some tea."
"Drink tea? Look at this prince"s hands!" XinZhi thrusts his two fists in front of Wu HanTian. "You want me to use my feet to drink?"
Old Madam is so angry that her vision starts to turn a little black, she uses her hands to cover her chest. Madam and Liu shi are on the side anxious and doubtful. Logically speaking they shouldn"t even be present.
Wu LiXiang who is on the side watching the show stands still unable to tell who is on whose side. Madam doesn"t dare to insert a word in but she on the other hand is unable to read the situation and opens her mouth to say, "Aiya, father~ I think that this matter is not that difficult. All you have to do is betroth Third older sister to 8th Prince. Isn"t 8th Prince willing to marry Third older sister——"
