Chapter 46 - Everybody Loved That Dress, Go Get It (2/2)

Of course, she couldn’t let Wei Yuewu wear that dress that she picked in other shops. It was not only because the dress was said to be very beautiful, but also because her mother and elder sister had made a plot against Wei Yuewu. So how could she allow Wei Yuewu not to wear the dress that they had “carefully selected” for her?

Wei Yan sneered. She couldn’t wait to see Wei Yuewu make a fool of herself on the very day!

“Miss, don’t worry. I understand. I’ll ask someone to keep an eye on the Sixth Young Lady’s maid in the early morning the day after tomorrow and get that dress from the hands of the Sixth Young Lady’s maid.” Nanny Xu nodded. She was Lady Li’s confidant and had been serving Wei Yan since the young lady was a child. She naturally knew what Lady Li and Wei Yan were planning to do this time.

No matter what, the Sixth Young Lady must wear that dress specially made for her.

Two days passed quickly. Huamo left the mansion early in the morning. She ordered a small carriage of the mansion and rode it to the Brocade Clothing Shop. When she entered the store, a clerk came to serve her right away. Wei Yuewu had told the shopkeeper that day to treat Huamo as an ordinary customer when she came to pick up the dress.

The dress was taken out and placed in front of Huamo. With the scarlet color as the background coupled with faint-colored flower patterns, it was indeed exceedingly beautiful. Although Huamo was not fond of the bright red color, she was still impressed by the dress. Moreover, the style was of the latest fashion, making the dress look both lively and gorgeous.

“That’s right, this is the dress I…” Before Huamo could finish her words, a hand suddenly stretched out from her side and an arrogant voice was heard. “This dress is really beautiful. My mistress wants it. How much is it?”

Huamo turned around and saw a maid dressed in the same clothes as her. She became annoyed immediately, “My mistress saw this dress first.”

“You mistress saw it first? Did she pay?” The maid cast a disdainful glance at Huamo and asked the clerk.

“No… Not yet.” The clerk looked at the two maids. He scratched his head and said honestly.

“Then we’ll take it.” The maid didn’t even ask about the price. She took out a silver ticket and handed it to the clerk. Then, she picked up the dress and strode away without looking back. She neither said one word to Huamo nor asked the clerk to help tidy up the new dress.

The clerk looked at the silver ticket in his hand and then at the dress without saying anything. After all, the denomination of the silver ticket was far higher than the price of the dress.

Huamo angrily watched the maid leave. She stamped her foot fiercely and looked at the clerk. She seemed to have something to say, but felt speechless when she opened her mouth. She turned around, ran out with rage and got into the carriage that was parked beside the door of the store. Anyone could tell that she was really infuriated.

The dress was placed in front of Wei Yan. Wei Yan was immediately attracted to the dress the moment she saw it. Both the color was and the flower patterns were her favorite ones. Furthermore, she had never had a dress in such a style.

“I’ll wear this dress today.” Without a moment of hesitation, she took a fancy to the dress after a single glance and proudly raised her head.

She had been trying her best to please the Madam Dowager these past few days. The Madam Dowager finally agreed to let her attend the banquet, but Lady Li wasn’t going. Lady Li, whose face was scalded, couldn’t attend banquets for at least many days.

Therefore, it was Lady Zhang who would take the young ladies from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang to the banquet this time.

“Second Young Lady, the dress you picked earlier was selected by the Second Lady. It’s the newest and most beautiful in both style and appearance.” Nanny Xu looked at the dress on the table worriedly and felt a little uneasy!

“I’ve decided to wear this one. I will let Wei Yuewu see that I’m wearing the dress that she likes. I’m going to see how she will react.” Wei Yan instantly grew exhilarated at the thought that Wei Yuewu would absolutely tremble with anger upon seeing the dress she liked was dressed by her.

Seeing Wei Yan was determined to wear this dress, Nanny Xu had no choice but to agree. She helped Wei Yan tidy up again and get dressed.

At this moment, Lady Zhang was waiting at the entrance of the mansion with the Fourth Young Lady and the Fifth Young Lady. Wei Yuewu appeared in time. The last one was the Second Young Lady. When Wei Yan saw Wei Yuewu clad in that light pink dress, a trace of triumph flashed in her eyes. She purposely squared her shoulders, and when she saw Wei Yuewu’s face suddenly became gloomy, she grew even more overjoyed.

She threw a glance at Wei Yuewu and directly got into the carriage.

Three carriages were prepared. Lady Zhang and the Fourth Young Lady certainly shared one carriage. Wei Yan took one by herself. The Fifth Young Lady originally wanted to get on the same carriage as Wei Yan. When she looked at Wei Yan’s face, a hint of hatred flashed in her heart. Just because she was born to a concubine, she couldn’t have her own carriage, and had to share the carriage with the first daughter.

She came to Wei Yuewu with a pitiful look and asked, “Sixth younger sister, may I ride the same carriage with you?”

“Sure, fifth elder sister, just come with me.” Wei Yuewu was getting on the carriage when she heard her elder sister’s voice. She turned around and nodded friendly.

Therefore, Wei Qiuju, the Fifth Young Lady, got on the last carriage with Wei Yuewu together.

The three carriages were slowly driven towards the mansion of the Prince of Nan’an that had invited them to the banquet. It was the birthday of the heir-apparent of the Prince of Nan’an, namely Wei Yan’s brother-in-law.
