Revenge of the Sixth Young Lady

Chapter 17 Despicable Underlings Block the Way, the Main Door Is Finally Opened...

“You damned servant, have you no eyes! Our young lady is the Sixth Miss Wei, the first daughter of Marquis Hua Yang. Move quickly to open the main door and welcome our young lady.”

Jin Ling scolded the servant with her hands on her waist.

As a former maid of the mansion of the Duke of Yan State, she naturally did not show the slightest trace of panic in front of servants of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. Now she simply declared Wei Yuewu’s identity to the servant.

“Whoever will buy in what you said! Our Sixth Young Lady can’t look like that. Where does this girl come from? How dare she claim to be our Sixth Young Lady!”

Casting a glance at Wei Yuewu, the servant twisted his mouth and said contemptuously, “Young lady, it’s true that wealth and rank are important, but you have to have the fate to enjoy them!”

What he meant was clear: many girls had tried to pass off as the Sixth Miss Wei, and she was simply one of these imposters who coveted Wei Yuewu’s identity and her affluent life in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

So the servant intended to stop her from entering the mansion?

Wei Yuewu sneered in her heart, but she did not show her inward contempt on her face. She said blankly, “What does your mistress want: open the main door to let me in, or drive me away so that I can go to the court and beat the drum to accuse Wei Yan and Mo Huating of conspiring to murder the first daughter of Marquis Hua Yang?”

Her words were gentle, without a trace of anger; and she even sounded somewhat shy due to her young age.

“What are you talking about? Where are you from, wild girl? How dare you talk nonsense here! Someone, somebody, come quickly to drive her out of here!”

The servant shouted immediately. He judged from Wei Yuewu’s bashful expression that although her words were very menacing, she must be a timid girl.

Several male servants rushed out instantly from the side door, each of them looking fierce and evil and holding a stick in their hands.

Seeing so many people rush out, Wei Yuewu no longer appeared shy but took on a chilly face. She turned toward Jin Ling who was still standing at the doorway angrily, “Since the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang won’t let us in, we will go to the court. With Prince of the Duke of Yan State’s guards being aside, no one will dare to offend me!”

After hearing what Wei Yuewu had said, Jin Ling nodded her head and burst out angrily, “Yes, miss, I know what to do. I will go to the court with you right away and accuse the Second Miss Wei of having an affair with Marquis Jing Yuan. They had planned to murder you on your way back to the capital in order to wreck your engagement with Marquis Jing Yuan. After their first plan failed, they thought of another plan to kill you. And just a moment ago, your carriage was bumped into the river by a carriage from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.”

No sooner had she finished these words than she turned directly with a snort and was about to leave...

The servants looked at each other without knowing what to do next. The situation was completely different from what they had expected. Moreover, Jin Ling’s words were so shocking that some onlookers started to whisper to each other discussing what she had said.

The leading servant began to sweat on his forehead. The Second Miss Wei had promised him high reward if he could drive the Sixth Miss Wei away. Moreover, she would tell his supervisor to get him promoted if he could give the Sixth Miss Wei and her maid a thrashing. However, he blew it. To make things worse, the Sixth Miss Wei’s maid yelled out such words, and big trouble would be caused if those words were spread.

Lady Li and the Second Miss Wei would definitely punish him severely.

“Sixth ... Sixth Young Lady, please wait a minute, I’ll go to ask...” The leading servant had no alternative but to soften his attitude. He said hastily and ran down to Wei Yuewu. More onlookers gathered around, and he didn’t dare to argue with Wei Yuewu any longer for fear that Jin Ling should say something astonishing again. Besides, this Sixth Young Lady acted in an aggressive manner: she would not waste her time arguing with the servants and was going to the court immediately.

If this went any further, he couldn’t possibly bear the responsibility for the ensuing trouble.

Wei Yuewu ignored him. Supported by Jin Ling’s hands, she was about to step on the shaft and get on the carriage.

“Sixth Young Lady, I was too blind to recognize you. Please forgive me for my offence. I will open the door for you immediately. The Madam Dowager, ladies, and young ladies have been waiting for you.”

Seeing that Wei Yuewu had made up her mind to go to the court, the servant became really panicked. He rushed over and tried to hold the reins but withdrew his hands under the sharp gaze of the coachman. He had no alternative but beg them to stay.

He was stricken with terror indeed, not knowing what to do. It was well-known within the mansion that the Second Young Lady was arrogant and domineering. He never expected that the Sixth Young Lady, who had not yet entered the mansion, was even more difficult to deal with. Now he felt like weeping but had no tears. He had just wanted to please the Second Young Lady!

“Open the main door and lead my young lady in.”

Jin Ling turned her head to Wei Yuewu and received her hint. Then, she announced the condition loudly.

“The ... the main door cannot be opened except on important occasions. May I ask the Sixth Young Lady to condescend to come in through the side door to see the Madam Dowager? She has been waiting since early morning.”

The servant explained in an aggrieved tone.

The Sixth Young Lady was difficult to deal with, but he didn’t dare to offend the Second Young Lady either. Moreover, no one ordered him to open the main door for the Sixth Young Lady.

“Jin Ling, let’s go!”

Wei Yuewu said coldly. She then told the coachman who was standing aside, “Take us to the yamen of the Mayor of the capital city that manages public security!”

Now, she was not in a hurry. However, Lady Li and Wei Yan should be. If she really took the case to the court, Wei Yan would be ruined!

As for the main door, she knew what was actually going on behind it. When the servants rushed out of the door previously, she caught a glimpse of dark-red clothes that were not worn by male servants but young and old female servants who worked in the back yard...

“Understood. We will go to the yamen immediately.”

Jin Ling replied loudly. She reached out to help Wei Yuewu onto the shaft. And in the meantime she leaned her arm on the shaft and gestured to jump onto the carriage.

“Sixth Young Lady, wait a minute please. I am late. I will open the main door for you immediately.”

An old maidservant rushed out of the side door, wiping sweats off her head with a handkerchief as if she had just run out in a hurry to arrive in time. After she came out, she glared at the servant standing on one side and shouted at him angrily, “The Second Lady has an order: open the main door and invite the Sixth Young Lady in.”
