Chapter 36 - Setting Them up: the Fight in the Back Yard (2/2)

Wei Yuewu calculated that it was about time that the maid had reached the outer courtyard. She believed that Mo Huating would definitely not be entertaining the guests in the outer courtyard now. That wolf dog that had been starved for several days should treat Mo Huating well…

“Wei Yan, use your brain. My cousin likes me and wants to marry me. He has promised me that he will definitely marry me one day. What’s the use of you making a scene right now?”

Chen Nianshan received another scratch from Wei Yan. She gritted her teeth in hatred and screamed. She didn’t have the heart to pretend to be a delicate lady now. She grabbed a tress of Wei Yan’s hair with one hand and pulled it hard like a shrew.

“You bitch, you said that you wouldn’t marry before Mo Huating did. Have you already made your fiancee a cuckold? There are only you two at this mansion. Once I become the mistress of the mansion, the first thing I will do is to drive you out of here. You bitch, let go of my hair.”

Wei Yan could not stand the pain. She cried and cursed out loud.

While Wei Yuewu was watching them fight, she was paying attention to the outside. When she heard the rapid and messy footsteps outside, she knew Mo Huating was coming. A cold smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and a trace of fierceness flashed across her face. She abruptly stood up and smashed the cup in her hand onto the ground.

A crisp sound was heard from the broken cup on the ground. In the meantime, Jin Ling shouted in an angry voice, “My mistress has asked both of you to stop. Marquis Jing Yuan’s fiancee is my young lady, but both of you have an affair with Marquis Jing Yuan. What do you take my lady for?”

Her words made all those outside and inside involuntarily freeze…

“Second Young Lady, my mistress is your cousin, but you and Marquis Jing Yuan actually… And Miss Chen, you have been living at the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan for long. My mistress has already figured out that you and Marquis Jing Yuan are not just cousins. But even if you two really love each other, is it necessary that you have to kill my mistress?”

Jin Ling said with uncontrollable rage.

Whoever heard those words would feel them extremely harsh, but the meaning behind the words made every listener speechless. Mo Huating stood outside. His mind went blank for a moment, and he was unable to think of a way to deal with the situation.

“Second elder sister, Miss Chen, you can quarrel with each other as you like. It has nothing to do with me. Anyway, today I am here to cancel my engagement with Marquis Jing Yuan. As for which of you will get together with Marquis Jing Yuan in future, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to be involved into this pool of muddy water. Besides, my father, Marquis Hua Yang, won’t let you trample his dignity and stain his honor like that.”

Wei Yuewu added after Jin Ling finished her words. Her voice carried a hint of anger. Anyone could recognize the fury in her words, as well as a trace of an angry tremor. Understandably, anyone who encountered such a thing would go nuts.

Outside the room, the Madam Dowager appeared hesitated when she heard Wei Yuewu mention Marquis Hua Yang!

“Why are you here?”

Wei Yan had finally noticed Wei Yuewu. She immediately raised her head and asked with an unfriendly expression.

“That’s my question, second elder sister. Why are you here? Didn’t Grandmother ask you to have a good rest in your own courtyard?”

Wei Yuewu’s face turned cold as her scornful gaze fell on Wei Yan’s face.

“You…you bitch, stay away from my business!”

Wei Yan scolded. She flew into a rage the moment she was swept by Wei Yuewu’s contemptuous gaze. She had just stopped quarreling with Chen Nianshan. Now she had become used to uttering dirty words, which came out of her mouth so naturally.

“She can’t meddle with your business, what about me? Do I have any right to discipline you?”

An old voice came from the door all of a sudden. Wei Yan raised her head and clearly saw the Madam Dowager’s sullen face. She immediately became extremely nervous. “Gran…grandmother…you…why are you here?”

“Even you can come here, why can’t I?”

The Madam Dowager knocked her crane heavily on the ground twice and walked in with a cold face. Lady Tu and Mo Huating followed behind one after the other.

The faces of Wei Yan and Chen Nianshan immediately turned pale …

This time, it was not in the hall outside, but in Chen Nianshan’s room. The Madam Dowager sat in the top seat with a grim expression. Her eyes were cold as she looked at Chen Nianshan and Wei Yan, who were sitting aside. Having finished a fight, the two of them didn’t look like a young lady from a noble family at all. Actually, they had tidied themselves up a little.

However, their messy dresses, the scratches on their faces, and the strands of fallen hair, all showed that the fight between the two were very fierce.

Wei Yuewu sat beside Lady Tu. Her slightly cold gaze fell on Mo Huating’s face. The corner of her lips under the veil silently revealed a trace of mockery.

Now, as things had gone so far, Mo Huating could no longer refuse to cancel the engagement by any quibbling!

“Marquis Jing Yuan, I don’t care who you want to marry or whose daughter you have an affair with. However, we’d better break off this engagement between you and Yuewu.”

Unlike the Madam Dowager, Lady Tu didn’t need to reserve face for Wei Yan. She slammed her palm into the table and with a cold light shining in her eyes, she coldly reprimanded Mo Huating without giving any face to him.
