Chapter 17 - Despicable Underlings Block the Way, the Main Door Is Finally Opened... (1/2)

“You damned servant, have you no eyes! Our young lady is the Sixth Miss Wei, the first daughter of Marquis Hua Yang. Move quickly to open the main door and welcome our young lady.”

Jin Ling scolded the servant with her hands on her waist.

As a former maid of the mansion of the Duke of Yan State, she naturally did not show the slightest trace of panic in front of servants of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Now she simply declared Wei Yuewu’s identity to the servant.

“Whoever will buy in what you said! Our Sixth Young Lady can’t look like that. Where does this girl come from? How dare she claim to be our Sixth Young Lady!”

Casting a glance at Wei Yuewu, the servant twisted his mouth and said contemptuously, “Young lady, it’s true that wealth and rank are important, but you have to have the fate to enjoy them!”

What he meant was clear: many girls had tried to pass off as the Sixth Miss Wei, and she was simply one of these imposters who coveted Wei Yuewu’s identity and her affluent life in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

So the servant intended to stop her from entering the mansion?

Wei Yuewu sneered in her heart, but she did not show her inward contempt on her face. She said blankly, “What does your mistress want: open the main door to let me in, or drive me away so that I can go to the court and beat the drum to accuse Wei Yan and Mo Huating of conspiring to murder the first daughter of Marquis Hua Yang?”

Her words were gentle, without a trace of anger; and she even sounded somewhat shy due to her young age.

“What are you talking about? Where are you from, wild girl? How dare you talk nonsense here! Someone, somebody, come quickly to drive her out of here!”

The servant shouted immediately. He judged from Wei Yuewu’s bashful expression that although her words were very menacing, she must be a timid girl.

Several male servants rushed out instantly from the side door, each of them looking fierce and evil and holding a stick in their hands.

Seeing so many people rush out, Wei Yuewu no longer appeared shy but took on a chilly face. She turned toward Jin Ling who was still standing at the doorway angrily, “Since the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang won’t let us in, we will go to the court. With Prince of the Duke of Yan State’s guards being aside, no one will dare to offend me!”

After hearing what Wei Yuewu had said, Jin Ling nodded her head and burst out angrily, “Yes, miss, I know what to do. I will go to the court with you right away and accuse the Second Miss Wei of having an affair with Marquis Jing Yuan. They had planned to murder you on your way back to the capital in order to wreck your engagement with Marquis Jing Yuan. After their first plan failed, they thought of another plan to kill you. And just a moment ago, your carriage was bumped into the river by a carriage from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.”

No sooner had she finished these words than she turned directly with a snort and was about to leave…

The servants looked at each other without knowing what to do next. The situation was completely different from what they had expected. Moreover, Jin Ling’s words were so shocking that some onlookers started to whisper to each other discussing what she had said.

The leading servant began to sweat on his forehead. The Second Miss Wei had promised him high reward if he could drive the Sixth Miss Wei away. Moreover, she would tell his supervisor to get him promoted if he could give the Sixth Miss Wei and her maid a thrashing. However, he blew it. To make things worse, the Sixth Miss Wei’s maid yelled out such words, and big trouble would be caused if those words were spread.

Lady Li and the Second Miss Wei would definitely punish him severely.

“Sixth … Sixth Young Lady, please wait a minute, I’ll go to ask…” The leading servant had no alternative but to soften his attitude. He said hastily and ran down to Wei Yuewu. More onlookers gathered around, and he didn’t dare to argue with Wei Yuewu any longer for fear that Jin Ling should say something astonishing again. Besides, this Sixth Young Lady acted in an aggressive manner: she would not waste her time arguing with the servants and was going to the court immediately.
