Chapter 8 - I Have Come Here for You... (1/2)
Chapter 8 I Have Come Here for You…
Everyone stared at the guard whose hat was pulled off by Wei Yuewu. Long dark hair immediately hung down.
A woman?
There was a great uproar in the crowd!
“Shuiyun, do you know who I am?” Wei Yuewu put on a gruesome smile as she lowered her head and looked at the maid, who had collapsed in panic. Seeing her pale and stiff face, the maid who had just propped herself up then lost all her strength and fell to the ground again.
“You… you are a ghost… ghost….” The maid screamed. She was so horrified that she couldn’t even complete her sentence.
She was with Mo Huating last night when he and his men were carrying out the murder in the forest. She was responsible for giving directions for them so that they could lie in ambush in the place Wei Yuewu must pass by.
Despite the heavy blizzard, she clearly saw that the richly-dressed girl in the carriage had indeed been shot dead by Mo Huating on the spot! Blood soaked the girl’s clothes and she died without closing her eyes. The scene was so terrible that she only gave a quick glance and dared not look again….
Was this person in front of her a ghost?
Wei Yuewu took on a cold smile. That Wei Yuewu who was content with a plain life did die.
“Shuiyun, I know you are my second elder sister’s maid. Look, you don’t remember me, but I still remember you… I have come here for you….” Wei Yuewu chuckled and spoke softly; but as they were very close to each other, her words sounded extremely ghostly and harsh.
“Sixth Young Lady, you are the Sixth Young Lady. Aren’t you dead?” Shuiyun started to cry out of fear before she suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Wei Yuewu. Her face turned pale and she implored with a trembling voice, “Miss, I beg you not to look for me… Not me… It was not me… It was the Second Young Lady who ordered me to come here….”
Wei Yan was the first daughter of the second branch of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Marquis Hua Yang and his two brothers had no separation. Therefore, the rankings of their offspring were counted in a uniform order. Wei Yan ranked second and Wei Yuewu sixth.
Wei Yuewu had originally intended to play a trick on the maid. Now she was furious at the secret the maid inadvertently leaked out. A trace of cold cruelty flashed across her eyes. She had not expected that Wei Yan was so vicious as to send the maid to help Mo Huating identify her in order to have her killed. There was no doubt that she had an affair with Mo Huating.
The bystanders were stunned at Shuiyun’s words at first, but soon thought the same as Wei Yuewu and looked at Mo Huating with suspicion.
This was Wei Yuewu. She was not dead?
