Chapter 21 Dragging you down with me
"Shut up!" Wu HanTian berates her. He is so angry that he really wants to slap Wu LiXiang.
Today he realizes that these daughters of him all are here to demand repayment! Second guniang admits that she abuses her sisters in front of everyone, Third guniang broke a prince"s finger, Fourth guniang is unable to read the situation and squeezes herself into the matter…….such bad luck!
Liu shi silently scolds Wu LiXiang and hurriedly drags Wu LiXiang back to her side and glares at her.
Wu LiXiang feels as if she had been wronged, she lowers her head and twists at her handkerchief. She thinks that she did not do anything wrong, Wu SheYue was wrong in the first place. She"s an idiot anyway why don"t we just send her to 8th Prince so that he can be bothered by her. She was just trying to help the family by contributing an idea, father really doesn"t recognize the good intentions she had…….
Wu SheYue looks at Wu LiXiang. She thinks, if this stalemate continues, it"s hard to say what these people will do. This is her first time meeting these so called family members. Everyone has a trick up their sleeves, all of them are enigmatic. Unfortunately, she is still unclear of these people"s thoughts and so is unable to use them. Looks like she will have to ease the situation first.
Wu SheYeu secretly looks at her surroundings. She sees Wu LiuYun is on the side elegantly drinking tea. Now that she thought about it, this eldest sister of hers did not partic.i.p.ate in the conversation at all. Wu LiuYun is indeed a stunning beauty, her lowered eyes and the corners of her mouth carrying a smile gives off an air of elegance. Her manner is light and graceful as she takes a sip of her tea as if she is leisurely listening to a play.
Wu SheYue furrows her brows. Even if she is not well off, it"s not someone else"s turn to look at the fun. She makes up her mind that she won"t let anyone keep out of this matter. She and the original Third Miss are all innocent, out of nowhere she became engaged and needs to deal with this kind of treatment? On what basis should this family play around with the two of them like monkeys?
Also, thinking back to how NingEr said that the person XinZhi admires is Wu LiuYun. Thinking back to how she was engaged without rhyme or reason, Wu LiuYun holds some responsibility. As a result, with tears she complains, "Coming today to annulment the engagement is because 8th Prince wants to annul it. 8th Prince becoming injured is because he threw himself at the sword, it doesn"t have anything to do with me. Also, doesn"t 8th Prince like my eldest sister. Now he wants to take me away no matter what, what does that make out of my eldest sister? My eldest sister is an illegitimate Miss, is 8th Prince making fun of my eldest sister?"
"Ai? You——" Suddenly being called, Wu LiuYun is very surprised, she didn"t think that Wu SheYue this idiot will drag her down with her.
"Me, what about me?" XinZhi did become interested in Wu SheYue after seeing her birthmark removed but Wu LiuYun is the G.o.ddess that he had been thinking about for years, no one can shake her place in his heart. "You, you think this prince is interested in you? This prince only wants to you who has no upbringing a lesson! LiuYun is a gentle and virtuous person, unlike you who is low and degrading!
Hearing XinZhi say this, Wu HanTian is about to faint from anger. Anyhow, he is a Prime Minister, if you look around this LongFu country, the number of people who can point fingers at him are few. XinZhi actually takes his two daughters out and makes critical remarks about their appearances, he even went and makes a fuss about his legitimate daughter. If he really promises to send his daughter over as an apology today, then isn"t he just asking for people to sh*t on his head!
Old Madam also knows this, but even more so she was reminded by Wu SheYue: the one 8th Prince admires the most is Wu LiuYun such an awkward scene, Wu LiXiang an illegitimate daughter even knows to help but this eldest granddaughters of hers actually doesn"t step out and say something? Thinking this, her eyes gradually float towards Wu LiuYun.
Madam sees that Old Madam is staring at her daughter unhappily, her heart clicks and she instantly knows what Old Madam is thinking of. Although she is unwilling but Madam still pushes Wu LiuYun"s arms a bit. "LiuYun……."
Wu LiuYun was just shamed into anger by Wu SheYue and was very suprosed by her mother"s action. "Mother! What"s wrong now?"
Madam shoots her a flance, she quietly urges, "Go."
Wu LiuYun furrows her brows, she slowly stands up. "8th Prince wants compensation. Why don"t you first take care of your hands first. If it really can"t get better, if today you lose one, it will be your loss."
"What LiuYun said sounds logical." XinZhi feels extremely flatters. Happily, he takes two steps toward Wu LiuYun. "LiuYun, look at my hands——"
Wu LiuYun takes a step back, she gently and politely maintains a distance between them. "That…….8th Prince, the manor doctor said that it is very severe, quickly go back and have someone look at it. If it is delayed, then…….LiuYun will worry."
Seeing XinZhi allowing himself to be pushed around by Wu LiuYun, Wu HanTian"s face relaxs a bit.
XinZhi really cares about Wu LiuYun, he immediately promises, "LiuYun, don"t worry, this prince definitely will be fine, I won"t become disabled."
"Then 8th Prince you should quickly apply medicine to your injury and then call an imperial doctor to have a good look at it." Wu LiuYun again uses the same excuse.
However, XinZhi thinks that whatever Wu LiuYun says is correct, he immediately turns around to walk out. "Okay, okay, I will go now. Afterwards I will come back to talk to you——"
He walked halfway out when he looked like he remembered something and threatens Wu HanTian. "Prime Minister Wu, this matter I will still bring it up with my father emperor! If you don"t discipline your daughter then why don"t you let this prince help you? My manor is big enough to clear out a place for Third Miss.
