Chapter 16 - A Frightening Fragment Lost in Memory (1/2)

So, a carriage had been following her and was now going to overtake her?

Wei Yuewu thought for a moment and then ordered in a low voice, “Stop. Let it pass first.”

She chose to give way because she wanted to see what the carriage looked like. She didn’t think anyone except those from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang and the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan would be interested in her.

As the carriage stopped, Jin Ling lifted the curtain for her.

Wei Yuewu watched the carriage slowly passing by. It was just an ordinary-looking carriage, a little larger than normal ones, but there was nothing peculiar.

However, with her sharp perception, Wei Yuewu noticed that the carriage was unusual. Though the curtain hanging over the door was dull brilliant azure, it was discernible with close observation that the four corners of the curtain were embroidered with dark golden lines. And the cloth, if she guessed right, should be tribute from regions south of the Yangtze River. Using such tribute as a hanging curtain was in itself more than luxurious and unimaginable for ordinary people.

To conclude, the person in the carriage was absolutely a big shot and had a close relationship with the royal family.

When the carriage was overtaking Wei Yuewu’s carriage, its curtain was suddenly lifted up. Wei Yuewu saw a firm chin. She felt the person inside that carriage was looking at her with his sharp eyes, Wei Yuewu could not help but slightly clench her hands that were placed on her knees.

This was an instinctive response to dangers.

She leaned back to avoid the scrutiny of his gaze, and her brows knitted. With a quick glanced at the person, she saw out of the corner of her eyes a touch of pale yellow, the noblest color.

“Miss…” Seeing Wei Yuewu’s nervous look, Jin Ling loosed her hold of the curtain, and the curtain fell.

“No worries.”

After the curtain fell, Wei Yuewu sensed the disappearance of that person’s gaze. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Those sharp eyes, the firm chin, and the color of pale yellow, all proved that the person in the carriage must be in a high position with honorable status. Neither the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang nor Mo Huating would be able to invite such a man.

That meant the person did not come for her. But whoever he might be, she did not have the slightest wish to provoke him.

Wei Yuewu had been sorting out all her memories these days, only to find that one fragment of her childhood memory seemed to be lost. Even by now, she could still sense danger and was even frightened at the thought of that missing memory, as if what had happened then was something extremely horrible.

She only vaguely remembered that she was confined in a large, gorgeous room. No, not a room, it was a great hall as she thought about it now.

There was silence all around. Not a sound could be heard. And she, panicked and scared, lay against the door, striking her palms at the tightly closed door so hard that her tender hands were stained with blood. She cried so loudly with deep dread that her throat grew hoarse.

But no one paid attention.

She remembered nothing after that, as if the memory had been covered with a veil, and what followed next was her being at her grandmother’s house. So that piece of memory was missing…

That carriage continued moving forward after overtaking Wei Yuewu’s carriage, as if it had followed her totally by accident.

“Your Highness, is that really the Sixth Miss Wei from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang who is said to lack talent and good looks?”
