The Princess Wei Yang

Chapter 24: Destroyed Silk

Lao furen gently held Wei Yang’s hands and said, “Child, you have come home. From now on, no one will be able to bully you anymore.”

Lao furen’s words, the sympathy in her eyes, were genuine. Li Wei Yang silently held tighter to Lao furen’s hands. That’s right, she has now returned. From now on, no one will be able to bully her. If being a nice person means getting bullied and trampled all over, she was going to be an evil person!

Lao furen smiled, her eyes showing genuine care. “Silly child, living here by myself is very lonely, you should come visit me often.”

Li Wei Yang knew that these words spoken by Lao furen was going to be her greatest guarantee. It was going to guarantee her future in the Prime Minister’s estate.

Returning to her quarters, she was immediately greeted by Zi Yan.

Li Wei Yang briefly glanced around. Hua Mei was outside with a duster, dusting the flower-patterned wooden panel. Wei Yang didn’t stop as she made her way inside.

In Bai Zhi and Mo Zhu’s hands were two brocades of extremely beautiful silk. Just once glance at the silk and it would invoke satisfaction.

Li Wei Yang allowed the two servants to set the silk on the table. Then she told Mo Zhu to leave while Bai Zhi stayed.

She placed her hand on the silk, feeling its luxury and beauty beneath her fingers. Out of the corner of her mouth, she said two words, “Tear it!”

Bai Zhi didn’t react in time but merely stood in one spot, surprised.

Li Wei Yang looked at Bai Zhi and calmly said, “What are you still doing standing there, tear them up.”

Although Bai Zhi was shocked, she still obeyed Wei Yang’s words. Grabbing one of the brocades, she pulled out a hair pin from her head and used it to rip apart the silk. The beautiful silk was soon destroyed in two.

The sun, coming from the East, shone through the windows into the chamber, causing the chamber to be drenched in a mixture of darkness and light. On the table, the beautiful silk sat. As the sound of the tearing continued, Li Wei Yang’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Bai Zhi faithfully obeyed Wei Yang’s instructions and shortly after, the silk was destroyed to the point of unrecognizable, pooling into a heap.

Having destroyed it, Bai Zhi was suddenly afraid. “Xiaojie, these silks were sent by Da shaoye. It’s to be used in the New Year, what if. . .”

Li Wei Yang blinked her eyes and said, “Bai Zhi, find a storage box and lock up this pile of destroyed silk.”

Bai Zhi immediately lowered herself to leave. “Yes, nubi has understood.” On the inside though, Bai Zhi was still suspicious. What was the point of locking away the destroyed silk?

At this moment, Hua Mei used the excuse of washing up and changing her clothes to leave for Fu An Yuan. She was feeling restless because of the exposed incident last time.

Yet Da furen had no intentions of scolding her but simply smiled and said, “Hua Mei, I have already given you instructions to take care of San xiaojie.”

Hua Mei found herself relaxing. Fortunately Da furen wasn’t angry.

Lin mumu approached Hua Mei and gently held her hand. In a tender voice, Lin Mumu reminded, “Furen’s intentions, do you understand?”

Hua Mei’s insides jumped then quickly nodded her head.

Lin mumu stopped in her steps. “Furen can forgive you this once, but there won’t be a second time!”

Hua Mei could feel Lin mumu’s hand at her side, like a snake worming its way into her skin. Hua Mei yelped quietly, desperately wanting to free herself, but Lin mumu pinched her back, using so much power that it felt like her nails were digging into Hua Mei’s skin.

Hua Mei was in so much pain that she couldn’t help scream for mercy. “Yes! Yes! Nubi will definitely look after San xiaojie carefully!”

Da furen’s hands moved along the red coral silk with a compassionate face as her mouth curled into a grin.
