How could it be that easy.
She’d said before, she, Helian Wei Wei, had always been a person who wouldn’t provoke others if others didn’t provoke her. If someone provoked her, she’d eliminate them completely!
They wanted to scheme against her, heh, since they’ve already entered, then don’t think about getting out so easily…
Wei Wei played with the jade bracelet in her hand, her tone of voice was level. “You’ve truly disappointed your madam and young miss.”
Little Lian looked down, didn’t say anything else. She clamped up because she understood that with this kind of situation right now, as long as she could save the madam and young miss, Retired Emperor also would only deal with her as a very small servant girl who’d lied.
However, if the madam and others were implicated, ten this wouldn’t merely be a matter of telling lies to deceive others.
This would basically become a scheme to deceive an emperor, punishable by death!
That’s why when she heard Wei Wei say those words, she inwardly loosened a breath of relief and thought that this matter is over. As she was thinking this, Wei Wei’s next sentence surprisingly was. “Because the responsibilities they’ve given you, you haven’t accomplished in the least, and has even been caught by me. If this isn’t considered failing to live up to their expectations, what else can it be?”
Little Lian’s figure shook severely and immediately lifted her eyes. “Telling those lies were all my idea and has nothing to do with the madam and young lady. They also haven’t given me any a.s.signments!”
“You’re actually so loyal and know how to protect your master.” Wei Wei indifferently smiled. “It’s too bad that the person you’re protecting doesn’t think that way of you at all. Otherwise, when she slapped you, she wouldn’t have imbued it with martial qi. This obviously is her anxiousness in wanting to kill to silence.” After saying this, she turned to face Helian Jiao Er and looked at her. “Isn’t this so, Younger Sister.”
Helian Jiao Er clenched her hands, yet her face didn’t change in the slightest. The plan with Little Lian didn’t pan out. However, there’s still the plan with Chen Wen Wan.
Chen Wen Wan admired Hei Ze. The Chen family could come to the capital also because they relied on the Su family.
Early on, before entering the temple, Mother had already planned everything.
They simply didn’t think that Wei Wei really would get on that horse carriage, which merely gave Chen Wen Wan an opportunity to get close to Wei Wei.
Now that the witch wood they’ve set up is on the ground, no matter what had happened in the interim, as long as such an item was here, Wei Wei could only die!
Thinking to this point, Helian Jiao Er walked composedly in graceful little steps forward. Her voice sounded extremely gentle and magnanimous. “A culprit naturally should be punished. It doesn’t matter that Oldest Sister suspected me and mother, it’s just that the crux of this matter doesn’t lie with where the jewelry that oldest sister has dropped came from, but rather, why would Older Sister bring such evil as the witch wood into the temple.”
“Miss Jiao Er is right.” Going through this incident, Chen Wen Wan’s jealousy towards Wei Wei became even deeper. However, she covered it up really well, so much so that her tone of voice even faintly trembled and seemed as if the thing she’d just seen still left her with lingering fears as she turned towards Retired Emperor to say. “Retired Emperor journeyed to Hidden Spirit Temple this time in order to pray for rain to relieve the drought. He’s cleansed himself, burned incense, and abstained from meat for a day all for the sake of demonstrating his sincerity to the G.o.ds. Yet, someone brought witch wood with the intent of harming others the whole time. Not only did this evil method completely negate the older person, Retired Emperor’s efforts, it also negated the fortunes of the victims of the drought!” After saying this, she turned to look at Wei Wei. “Although Wen Wan’s family background not much, yet, I also have no choice but to say that it’s basically useless for Miss Wei Wei to make use of a maid to divert everyone’s attention. This witch wood harms people. This isn’t something Miss Wei Wei doesn’t know. Then why do you still want to carry it on your person?”
