Chapter 34 - Conspiracy: A Wolf Dog Sent In Overnight (2/2)

She calmly walked to the door and picked up the corner of her greasy dress with one hand. She carefully lifted the dress up by the hem to the height of the door handle, and carefully smeared the greasy dress on the door handle. She wiped the dress back and forth so carefully that the originally greasy corner of the dress became almost half dried.

The handle gave off a faint, alluring fragrance of meat.

After finishing her work, Wei Yuewu carefully pulled down her dress. Then she pointed at the knocked-out maid and ordered Jin Ling, “Drag the maid away.”

She walked around the door and continued moving forward. The mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan was spacious, but with only one master and one lady living here, there were many unused yards.

Seeing that Wei Yuewu hadn’t recklessly rushed in, Jin Ling heaved a sigh of relief. As she was quite strong, she easily lifted up the fainted maid by one pull, and placed half of the maid’s body on her shoulder. She then quickly followed Wei Yuewu.

Not far ahead, there was another spare yard as expected, and similarly, not a single servant was around. Wei Yuewu pushed the slightly-opened door, but not a single person could be seen inside. Wei Yuewu sneered in her heart. Mo Huating and Chen Nianshan did calculate everything well. The two yards were really close to each other. If something happened to her in the first yard, and if there were people in this yard, some servants would definitely come out of this yard to help her.

Now that everyone had been sent away, even if something happened to her, it had nothing to do with the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan. Moreover. Chen Nianshan could say she had asked the maid to take her to this yard, however, Wei Yuewu herself mistakenly went to a wrong yard where the wolf dog was kept.

Therefore, Wei Yuewu had no one to blame but herself if something really happened.

In the hall, Mo Huating was attentively entertaining the Madam Dowager and Lady Tu. He kept on apologizing, saying that it was really his fault to have put Wei Yuewu in danger. After such a series of polite words, he totally left no room for the Madam Dowager and Lady Tu to find any chance to talk about the cancellation of the engagement.

The Madam Dowager still had misgivings about the part Wei Yan had played, so she couldn’t go deeper for the time being.

However, Lady Tu was not the Madam Dowager, so she didn’t have many scruples. Seeing that Mo Huating was still dragging on, she became impatient. Her face turned cold and was about to speak when she saw an old maidservant hurriedly staggered in. The old maidservant anxiously reported without caring about the sweat on her head. “My lord, please go quickly to the backyard. Something bad happened there.”

Mo Huating’s face darkened and he anxiously asked, “What happened? Who’s in trouble?”

“It was Sixth Miss Wei… Sixth Miss Wei accidentally entered the yard that has the wolf dog…” The woman panted for breath because she had run too fast.

“What? How is Yuewu now?”

Upon hearing this news, Lady Tu couldn’t sit still any longer. She sprang to her feet.

The Madam Dowager’s face darkened and looked at Mo Huating.

“Madam Dowager, Lady Tu, don’t worry. I’ll go and see what happened right away.”

Mo Huating frowned. After apologizing to the Madam Dowager and Lady Tu, he turned around and walked out.

The Madam Dowager and Lady Tu were in no mood for sitting. They hurriedly followed Mo Huating to the backyard with a large group of maids and old maidservants.

This old maidservant had been arranged beforehand to deliver the news. As soon as she saw the maid leading Wei Yuewu in that direction, she hurried to report it.

The wolf dog inside had been starved for a quite a long time. It couldn’t help going crazy when it smelled the fragrance of that special meat! The meat smelled fragrant to humans, and even more so to dogs. The meat was also cooked with dogs’ favorite fodder. Dogs’ noses were much more sensitive than humans’. When humans could smell the fragrance, it was out of question that dogs could smell it as well.

As soon as Wei Yuewu pushed open the door and the smell drifted in, the loosely-tied wolf dog would definitely pounce at her.

The master had no intention of taking the life of this Sixth Miss Wei. If she were late in reporting the news and the young lady lost her life, no one would be able to shoulder responsibility!

The old maidservant had run out of breath and sweated profusely. In fact, not all of her performance was faked.

When Mo Huating arrived at the gate of the yard, he discovered that the door was ajar and there was no sound inside. He involuntarily panicked.

Could it be that Wei Yuewu had been bitten to death by the wolf dog?

He really did not intend to kill Wei Yuewu this time. Moreover, he had even planned to make a show of his deep affection toward her.

Wei Yuewu being chased by the wolf dog would definitely be in messy clothes. Even if she received a few bites from the dog, had her face scratched, or broke her arm, he would show that he didn’t mind, as long as she was still alive. He would still marry Wei Yuewu as he had always intended and make her his wife. In this way, the “misunderstanding” that was caused when he went to pick up Wei Yuewu would be erased.

People would no longer suspect that he had anything to do with the murder of Wei Yuewu.

As for how long Wei Yuewu could live afterwards, that was another matter. He had thousands of ways to kill her. If the two families didn’t cancel the engagement, the relationship between the two mansions couldn’t deteriorate. Then he would be able to make a satisfactory explanation to Marquis Hua Yang.

As for Wei Yan, he could ask her to wait another one or two years at the worst.

Such was Mo Huating’s plan. However, there was no sound inside the door for the time being. Somewhat panicked, he hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the handle and pushed open the door. All was quiet. There was no sound at all in the yard. It was so eerie that Mo Huating felt a little frightened.

No matter what, once Wei Yuewu entered this yard, something would definitely happen. How could there be no sound at all? He put his hand on the door handle. There was nothing unusual about it. He decisively pushed the door open and walked towards the side door. The wolf dog was symbolically tied there.
