Chapter 250 – A “Lucky” Day For Heir-Apparent Of Prince Nan’An
The Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an Wen Ruoming was in a good mood lately. The beauty he liked, according to her mother, had been accepted by the Empress, who was waiting for the right opportunity to announce her decision.
Compared to Wei Qiuju’s delicate appearance, Wei Fengyao was more and more annoying to him. He heard that Wei Fengyao’s temper was getting worse and worse now. She would beat up the people in her courtyard for no reason. She was so restless that servants would come to him to complain from time to time. It was really annoying.
He suddenly regretted that he had chosen Wei Fengyao to be his wife. If he had known that Fifth Miss Wei looked better and was gentler, he would have married Fifth Miss Wei no matter what.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too late now. After the Empress announced her decision, Wei Qiuju would enter his mansion, and he would be able to enjoy the beauty at will.
Thinking of this, his mood improved a little.
But on second thought, he sighed with emotion. Wei Qiuju was indeed very much to his liking. She was a delicate beauty, but he also heard that the eldest young lady of the mansion of Duke of Jing was a peerless beauty. Speaking of which, he married too early. Otherwise, he would have a chance today. If he had Eldest Miss Jing as his princess and Wei Qiuju as his secondary concubine, his life would be really perfect.
Just as he was lost in his sweet dream, a maid came over with a cup of tea and said coquettishly, “Your Heir-apparent, please have some tea!”
Wen Ruoming reached out and took the cup, only to find that there was also a small ball of paper in his hand. He looked up at the pretty maid and saw that she was smiling at him. After pondering for a moment, he put down the teacup in his hand and walked out with the ball of paper in his hand.
He walked to a corner and unfolded the ball of paper in his hand, only to discover that there were no words on it. He was truly surprised. How could there be nothing on the paper that was delivered to him in such a mysterious manner?
The maid suddenly appeared behind him, and after looking around, she said in a low voice, “Your Heir-apparent, our young lady invites you over. She has something to ask you!”
“Why is your young lady looking for me?” Although the maid did not say who was her young lady, Wen Ruoming was certain that it must be Eldest Miss Jing. He was instantly excited.
After she returned to the capital, this Eldest Miss Jing had always kept a low profile. There were only rumors about her beauty outside, but not many people had actually seen her.
The maid answered with a confused expression, “I don’t know. It seemed that she wanted to ask the heiress-apparent about something, but she couldn’t find the heiress-apparent. Therefore, she wanted to ask you!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThese words sounded extremely reasonable, and Wen Ruoming did not doubt her. He immediately nodded and said, “Lead the way!”
Wen Ruoming was glad that he would be able to see this extremely famous number one beauty ahead of everyone else. Perhaps the beauty would even have a crush on him. Wen Ruoming was in such a good mood that he followed the maid out without taking his lad servant.
After crossing several secluded paths, they arrived in front of a pavilion. The maid led him upstairs and said, “Please wait a moment, Your Heir-apparent. I will go and invite the young lady over.”
“Alright!” Wen Ruoming nodded.
The maid retreated and walked to the stairs. She winked at the other maid downstairs who was holding a cup of tea in her hand. Seeing the maid’s gaze, she immediately understood and walked up the stairs with the tea in her hand.
She presented the tea to Wen Ruoming and respectfully said, “Please have some tea, Your Heir-apparent!”
Although she gently pushed her hand forward, her movement was a little too fast. As Wen Ruoming reached out to receive the teacup as usual, the two of them collided and the teacup tilted. Although Wen Ruoming quickly stood up and retreated, the hem of his dress was still stained with the tea. His face immediately turned cold and he was about to lose his temper.
“Your Heir-apparent, please spare my life!” The maid was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. Her fair face looked pitiful, and it was Wen Ruoming’s favorite type.
For a moment, Wen Ruoming was moved by her pretty look and didn’t explode.
Seeing that Wen Ruoming frowned but didn’t say anything, the maid hurriedly suggested, “Your Heir-apparent, please take off this dress first. I will immediately go ask someone to dry it. Then, I will go and fetch a dress of our heir-apparent for you. There weren’t many traces of water on your dress. It won’t take long to dry it!”
“Your young lady is coming soon!” Wen Ruoming said unhappily.
“Don’t worry, Your Heir-apparent. Our eldest young lady will definitely not arrive soon. I will think of a way to delay her for a while. I will definitely have your dress dried before she came. Please forgive me, Your Heir-apparent!” The maid continued to beg for mercy with tears streaming down her face. She looked truly pitiful.
“Then hurry up and go!” Wen Ruoming said impatiently. As long as he thought that the gorgeous beauty would see him in disheveled clothes, Wen Ruoming was no longer interested in the maid’s pitiful appearance.
The maid hesitantly said, “Then, may I take away your dress… I will first have someone dry it…”
“Then hurry up!” Wen Ruoming stretched out his hand to undress. The maid hurriedly got up and helped him remove the outer garment.
The maid took his outer garment and walked downstairs.
Wen Ruoming didn’t feel cold in the beginning. However, it was winter, and after a while, he felt cold all over. He couldn’t sit still and began to walk around to warm himself up. As he walked around, he saw a room at the back. He opened the door, and there was actually a bed and a quilt in the room. He was overjoyed and immediately jumped onto the bed. He covered himself with the quilt and immediately felt comfortable.
This Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an was fat and slept a lot. Now that he was covered in a warm quilt on a winter day, he fell asleep in a short while. He faintly felt that someone entered the room, but because no one called him, he didn’t care and continued to sleep…
Wei Yuewu was also taken to the pavilion at this time. She looked at the lonely pavilion and stood still.
The maid stretched out her hand and said with a smile, “Sixth Young Lady, please go up first. Our young lady will arrive soon.”
“I’d better take a walk outside to enjoy the scenery and wait for Eldest Miss Jing!” Wei Yuewu smiled and turned around, as if she didn’t want to wait upstairs. Seeing this, the maid became anxious.
The maid hurriedly reached out to stop Wei Yuewu and advised, “Sixth Young Lady, it’s cold and windy here. You can enjoy the scenery upstairs, and it’s warm inside.”
“Our young lady can enjoy the scenery wherever she wants. Could it be that the mansion of Duke of Jing’s maids don’t let the guests decide for themselves!” Jin Ling snorted coldly at the maid.
These words were too harsh for the maid. She hurriedly retracted her hand and explained, “I don’t dare. I was just worried that Sixth Young Lady would catch cold while waiting outside. If she became ill, not only will I be severely punished, even our eldest young lady will feel uneasy.”
She used Eldest Miss Jing as an excuse, and she was also caring about Wei Yuewu’s health. Nobody would feel annoyed because of her kindness. Wei Yuewu smiled and stopped. “Alright, then I will go up and wait for Eldest Miss Jing upstairs.”
“Yes, Sixth Young Lady, please follow me this way!” Seeing that Wei Yuewu was no longer refusing, the maid heaved a sigh of relief. She hurriedly led Wei Yuewu to the stairs with a smile. However, she pulled Jin Ling’s sleeve at the staircase and said, “Sister, we prepared a lot of snacks in the mansion today. Do you want to bring some snacks for Sixth Young Lady? It’s not far from here.”
She pointed to a place not far away and introduced, “We have snacks in a few places in our mansion today. Young ladies and madams can get snacks from the nearest place when they were admiring the scenery. There is a snack site not far from this building. Do you want to go there with me?”
That house indeed looked not far from here, and it seemed to be only a courtyard away.
Jin Ling looked at Wei Yuewu hesitantly.
“Jin Ling, go take a look. Hurry up and come back as soon as possible!” Wei Yuewu instructed, putting special emphasis on the last few words. Jin Ling immediately understood and replied loudly, “Yes, Miss, I will be right back!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWei Yuewu went upstairs to rest and Jin Ling left with the maid. Seeing that Jin Ling was gone, the other maid who was waiting on the side hurriedly made a gesture to a young man in a corner downstairs who looked like a servant of the outer courtyard.
After receiving the maid’s message, the young man turned around and was about to go upstairs. Before setting his foot on the stairs, he coughed twice. Then, he landed his foot heavily and loudly muttered to himself, “There can’t be anyone here. The several young masters are coming over soon. However, I was stilled asked to have a check around here. I really don’t see the need. How can there be someone in such a remote place?”
The young man stopped at the staircase after he finished speaking. He heard the sound of footsteps upstairs and judged that the young lady upstairs must have entered that inner room. He couldn’t help but reveal a trace of satisfaction on his face.
Sure enough, when he pushed open the door of the outer room, he didn’t see the young lady. The servant turned around and was about to leave when he was suddenly heavily hit in the back of his head. He tilted to one side, revealing Jin Ling behind him.
“Miss!” Jin Ling said in a low voice.
“Is there anyone downstairs?” Wei Yuewu came out of the curtains.
“There’s a maid watching. I knocked her out and placed her in the room downstairs!” Jin Ling said, “Miss, you know what? That snack site appeared close, but it is separated by a river from here. If I went there, then something was surely to happen before I come back!”
“What about that maid?” Wei Yuewu sneered. To buy time and lure away his maid, they would naturally pick a place like this.
“I said that I was worried about Miss because you would be scared staying upstairs alone. Therefore, I walked a little faster and broke away from her! Miss, what should we do now?” Jin Ling looked at the servant on the ground and asked. This was actually a handsome man about twenty years old.
“Go and see who is in the room over there?” Wei Yuewu said with a faint look in her eyes.
Jin Ling hurriedly entered the inner room. Not long after, she came out with a nervous expression. “Miss, it’s actually the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an! He’s sleeping inside!”
Sure enough, it was the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an. Now, she was definitely sure it was Wei Fengyao who set her up!
“Get him into the inner room and let him sleep with the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an! Loosen his hair.” Wei Yuewu quickly made a decision.
“Miss…” Jin Ling was stunned for a moment. She was confused for the time being, but she knew this was not the time to explain. She hurriedly carried out the order.
Footsteps could already be heard from the stairs. There were also the voices women speaking. Judging by the heavy footsteps, there were quite a few people walking up the stairs together.
Wei Yuewu sneered in her heart. This Wei Fengyao was really quick…
“Morou, this pavilion is really a nice place to enjoy the scenery.” Wei Fengyao proudly pushed open the slightly closed door, a trace of malice flashing through her eyes.
This was not Prince Nan’an Mansion. No matter how powerful Princess Nan’an was, this matter was beyond her control! She definitely wouldn’t allow Princess Nan’an to interfere again…
