Chapter 34 Conspiracy: A Wolf Dog Sent In Overnight

“You are in such a mess. Then what should I do to help you?”

Observing Wei Yuewu’s firm refusal, Chen Nianshan did not insist on her suggestion. She looked at the stains on Wei Yuewu’s clothes, unable to figure out a solution for the time being.

Wei Yuewu raised the corner of her clothes and frowned slightly. Indeed, it was impossible for her to meet anyone in such a condition.

“Alas, look at me, I was so stupid. Sixth Young Lady, let me ask someone to send cloak. No one will notice the stains on your dress when you wear the cloak.”

After a moment of silence, Chen Nianshan suddenly said smilingly as if realizing something.

This seemed to be the best way to solve the problem. Wei Yuewu nodded with resignation, hitched up her dress and agreed. Her gaze silently slid across Jin Ling’s face. Jin Ling, who was standing a little behind Chen Nianshan, knowingly blinked at her mistress.

Jin Ling had been originally standing behind Wei Yuewu, but because of the spilled broth incident, she was now standing in a position very close to Chen Nianshan.

The two decided that Chen Nianshan would go back to her yard first to change and meanwhile ask one of her maids to bring Wei Yuewu a cloak. As it was inconvenient for Wei Yuewu to walk around the mansion in her current state, she would follow a maid to a nearby yard to rest. She would then go to Chen Nianshan’s yard after putting on the cloak.

After Chen Nianshan left, Wei Yuewu followed the maid assigned by Chen Nianshan and slowly walked forward to find a place for a rest. Jin Ling was following closely behind.

After a few steps, Wei Yuewu pointed at a pavilion in front of her and said, “The scenery over there is pretty good. I’ll go and take a look.”

“Sixth Young Lady, our young lady ordered me to take you to the yard ahead to rest. There’re only a few steps left. Sixth Young Lady, why not follow me there and go back to enjoy the scenery later?”

The maid leading the way cast a look at the pavilion and persuaded.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll wait here for your young lady’s cloak.”

Wei Yuewu said as she shook her head with a smile. She started walking to the pavilion.

“Sixth Young Lady, it’s windy over there and there’s nothing to block the wind. I didn’t expect that you should want to enjoy the scenery. If you really want to enjoy the scenery, I’ll have someone set up a wind-block screen here right now. Sixth Young Lady, please wait in the yard for a moment.”

These words made perfect sense. The winter was different from the spring. If one wanted to enjoy scenery in a pavilion, it was best to set up a screen and prepare a stove. Only in this way would people be able to protect themselves from being frozen. Then, there would be no risk of unexpected results when enjoying such an elegant entertainment.

However, the anxious expression on the maid’s face was far too real. A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Wei Yuewu’s lips. This maid sent by Chen Nianshan was just an ordinary one, and yet she was so concerned about Wei Yuewu. This was rather incomprehensible.

A faint light flashed in Wei Yuewu’s watery eyes. She stopped upon hearing the advice. “Alright, I’ll go to the yard ahead and wait there.”

As she expected, the maid revealed a relaxed expression. The maid turned to their original path and quickened her pace. “Sixth Young Lady, the yard is just over there. You can go in and I’ll have someone prepare a screen at the pavilion.”

The yard was quite near, and after taking another detour, they arrived in front of the entrance.

The door of the yard was ajar. There was not anyone else in sight. It was very quiet. Wei Yuewu nodded at the maid and was about to step in. The maid was overjoyed when she saw this, and a trace of exultation flashed in her eyes.

Just then, she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her head. She lost control of her body and fell to the ground slowly, revealing Jin Ling who had been standing behind her. It was Jin Ling who knocked the maid unconscious.

“Miss, what should we do now?”

Jin Ling asked as she clapped her hands.

“Let’s go in.”

Wei Yuewu nodded and reached out to push the door.

Jin Ling’s expression changed. She was so shocked that she instantly stopped Wei Yuewu. “Miss, don’t. That wolf dog brought into the mansion yesterday must be inside.”

Yesterday, she and Shufei saw with their own eyes a big wolf dog being pulled into the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan. If Marquis Jing Yuan bought a big wolf dog on usual days, that was quite normal. Maybe Mo Huating liked this kind of wolf dog. However, since the dog was brought in at such a crucial moment as yesterday, this could not fail to attract Jin Ling’s attention.

She was totally alarmed especially after she went to investigate the seller of the wolf dog. She found out that Marquis Jing Yuan had specifically asked for a wolf dog that had been starved for several days.

The marquis knew that the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang would come to cancel the engagement today, but yesterday, he deliberately picked a big wolf dog that had been starved for a few days. In whatever perspective, Marquis Jing Yuan didn’t seem to have good intentions.

The broth that had just been spilled on Wei Yuewu was so savoury that it could be smelled from afar. They wondered what kind of meat it was. How could it be so savoury?

After relating the situation to the wolf dog that had been starved for several days, Jin Ling could in way let Wei Yuewu take any risk.

Seeing Jin Ling so nervous, Wei Yuewu smiled and waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.
