Chapter 20 Showtime! Lady Li Is Ready to Act

“Second Young Lady, the Madam Dowager sent me to ask if the Sixth Young Lady has arrived. Have you met the Sixth Young Lady?” An old maidservant appeared at the door with two maids and asked. Her look was fairly calm and natural as if she didn’t notice the messy situation between the two young ladies in the yard.

Seeing that Nurse Hong, grandma’s most capable servant showed up at the door, Wei Yan suddenly froze and her hand stopped before Wei Yuewu’s face. She dared not go any further as she regained her sense in a flash and realized that she had come here to stop the little bitch without telling grandmother. Nervousness crept onto her face.

“Second Young Lady, is this the Sixth Young Lady?” Nurse Hong asked as she turned her eyes to Wei Yuewu.

“Yes, she is the one who claims to be my sixth younger sister.” Wei Yan answered hatefully as she withdrew her hand slowly with great unwillingness.

“Sixth Young Lady, I’m Nurse Hong who waits on the Madam Dowager. The Madam Dowager is not very well, but she has been waiting for you for a long time. May I ask you to go with me to meet her?” Nurse Hong said smilingly as she went up with two maids beside her.

She spoke in a polite way, but who knew how sincere her politeness was?

Wei Yuewu sneered in her heart as she thought of the nurse’s good timing of showing up exactly at the crucial moment when she and Wei Yan were going to make the scene way too nasty.

In addition, her words seemed to imply that Wei Yuewu was to blame for being unfilial in keeping the Madam Dowager wait so long.

“Sure, please show me the way.” Wei Yuewu replied in a respectful attitude as she drooped her eyes. She didn’t want to argue with this old maidservant here because the Madam Dowager must have been waiting inside and ready to stage a show for her. Well, she would like to see what kind of person this Madam Dowager of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was.

This time, it was Nurse Hong who led the way for Wei Yuewu and Wei Yan to the Madam Dowager’s residence. All the old female servants and maids they met on their way greeted them respectfully.

Wei Yuewu knew clearly that it was because Nurse Hong was leading the way.

The Madam Dowager lived in Tranquility Pavilion. When some servants caught sight of them walking over from a distance, a young maid immediately trotted in to report.

When they reached the entrance of the courtyard, Wei Yan snorted coldly at Wei Yuewu, and with a swing of her handkerchief, she walked in directly.

Wei Yuewu followed Nurse Hong into the house.

In the middle of the main chamber, an old lady was sitting on a warm couch. She was wearing an azure silk coat and a forehead band decorated with emeralds. And she had thin eyebrows and a pair of sharp eyes, which gave people an impression of shrewdness at first sight. Her eyebrows jerked at the sight of Wei Yuewu and a trace of unexpectedness flashed in her eyes.

Then her expression slowly changed into a smile, which made her look more gracious than before.

Needless to say, this must be the Madam Dowager of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang, of whom Wei Yuewu only had a vague memory.

Wei Yuewu took two quick steps forward and kowtowed respectfully and gracefully to the Madam Dowager. “Greetings, grandmother.”

Madam Dowager smilingly sized Wei Yuewu up and down. Then she turned to Nurse Hong beside her and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect Yuewu to be so beautiful. Before she came, it has been said for a long time that she is neither talented nor good-looking.”
