Chapter 68 Overnight
If the Shen Family broke off the engagement to Wei Changying, Wei Huan and Old Madam Song could not reject it. However, they could make a plan for retaliation.
Recently, Ruiyu Hall had suffered a lot.
If Wei Huan did not do something to gain ground, Ruiyu Hall would come to decline.
There was a roaring fire in Fengzhou after the day when Old Madam Song had received the letter from the Capital City. The dawn did not come yet.
It was the bellman who first noticed the flame that had newly appeared in the dark.
The fire started in Zhiben Hall, not far from Ruiyu Hall. Residents in Fengzhou gradually knew that Zhiben Hall went up in flames.
Several hundred years ago, Zhiben Hall moved its main business to Capital City for various reasons. The old house remained. In the house, the grand ceremony, such as ancestor worship, wedding or funeral would be held. In usual, only servants stayed here to guard and clean th

The Crowned Lady Chapter 69 Condolences
Wei Zhengya was a member of Ruiyu Hall, who died in the hands of "northern tribes." No matter how Wei Huan secretly planned and acted, he also had to pay his condolences.Wei Changying was actually very reluctant to go.At this time, Mrs. He had recovered and returned to serve her. Zhu Lan and four other maids were also picked up and continued to be second-class maidservants in Xianshuang Court. But they changed much as if they had been domesticated by a rigorous Granny. Originally, Zhu Lan and the others, as the decedents of Mrs. He and managers, were young and noisy. So no matter whether Wei Changying was in Xianshuang Court or not, the yard was lively all year round.But this time when they came back, they looked well-behaved and calmer than before. Wei Changying was not strict with maids. If their chatter didn't disturb her, she wouldn't be angry with them. Seeing that they behaved more tamely, she gave them some praise. Zhu Lan and the oth

Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan were speechless. Although they were extremely reluctant, they still got on the carriage.When the carriage went out of the door, Wei Changsui, Wei Changfeng, and Wei Gaoya came together. After greeting them through the curtain, they drove the horse to the side of the carriage and went to Duke Jingping Mansion.The journey was not long, and there were no idlers, so they entered the back door of Duke Jingping Mansion soon. After getting off the carriage, they began to feel something significant happened in the mansion. At this moment, only a female manager greeted them by the carriage, whose solemn expression of eyes revealed her panic. She saluted casually and didn't speak much, leading them directly to the courtyard of little Mrs. Liu.Along the way, the white cloths had been hung up everywhere, and the servants encountered were all in a hurry with sorrow. There were several places in Duke Jingping Mansion where dec
The Crowned Lady Chapter 71 Sisters of Wei Qing
After being scolded by Mrs. He, Wei Gaochan and Wei Changyan left, weeping. Without any triumphant smile on her face, Mrs. He only gingerly begged in a low voice, “First Miss, do not care about what they said. It is nonsense. They are jealous. Someone has said that you are the most beautiful and generous lady in the room. The girls of collateral branches are not better than you no matter in appearance or in status. So they...”“How many days?” asked suddenly Wei Changying. She was pale and gazed blankly into the distance.Mrs. He figured out her sudden question. She hesitated for a while and murmured, “Perhaps it has been on for a few days. Family Head and Old Madam Song have already...”“There is even gossip in the Wei Family. It must start earlier,” Wei Changying said lightly and choked out.Mrs. He became distressed and forced a laugh. She said, “Don’t worry, First Miss. Although there is a rumor recently, Family Head and Old Ma
The Crowned Lady Chapter 72 Wei Gao’an
Wei Qing’s two younger sisters, Wei Qiong and Wei Ying, were gentle and generous. Wei Changying became less upset because they did not show any disdain to her. She also thought that not all people talked about the meeting that she took the place of her brother to attend. In public, people did not discuss Wei Changying out of the Wei Family’s face.Wei Changying could bear the hurt. What comforted her was that Wei Zhengya had timely died. Four overnight misfortunes in Fengzhou, especially the death of Wei Zhengya, a renowned scholar in the country, caused uproar. Although northern Rong tribes claimed that they were not responsible for four disasters in Fengzhou, evidence showed that they were murderers.Northern Rong tribes were the Great Vi’s rival. Who would believe an enemy’s words?People focused on four events, so few paid attention to Wei Changying.Considering this, Wei felt a lot more relaxed.It w
The Crowned Lady Chapter 73 Dream on
In the afternoon, Mrs. He stepped out of the door slowly. The autumn wind was rolling with water vapor, which made the wind bell under the corridor tinkle.Zhu Shi and Zhu Lan were sitting opposite each other on the couch in the corridor. There was a willow basket by their skirts, covered with lotus leaves. There was something in the basket, which made the surroundings wet.The two little maids were leaning on the railing to play with the rain outside the corridor. Seeing Mrs. He coming out, they hurriedly got up to salute her. One was going to take over the food box that Mrs. He was carrying. The other asked in a low voice, "Granny, is the First Miss willing to eat?""Let the small kitchen change a few more dishes." Mrs. He frowned and sighed."From yesterday to now, all the things sent in are the favorite of the First Miss." Zhu Lan felt that the food box was as heavy as when it was taken in." She said somehow worriedly, "What di
The Crowned Lady Chapter 74 That Person
... After Wei Changying had straightened out her thinking, the members of the Shen Family arrived the next day.She hadn't eaten anything and was utterly dissipated for two days, but she had only one day to recover. Although she was young and the Wei Family was wealthy, which could provide her any tonic, she couldn't recover totally within only one day. This day, she woke up and took a bath in the morning. After that, she sat in front of the dresser, finding that her face was flushed because of the heat of the water. However, she was still too pale compared to what she used to be.She was like a pink rose, beautiful but not bright, looking haggard and delicate.Mrs. He sighed secretly and asked, "What about powdering some blusher?""Did my grandmother say that I have to show up?" Wei Changying asked after she had stared at herself in the mirror for a while.The situation was different from the last time when the Shen F
The Crowned Lady Chapter 75 He Came
This time was the same as the last time when Wei Changying greeted the members of the Shen Family, except for the messenger had changed from Shuangli into Shuangzhu, and Song Zaitian was not at the scene.The rear hall was just as what it was like last time, even the seats of Wei Huan, Old Madam Song, and the Count Xiangning Shen Zhou were not changed.Wei Changying was still as elegant as she used to be, but her pace was different from the last time.... She walked slower but heavier, which seemed to be deliberate. It was not only because she had not totally recovered, but also because she was trying to cover up her nervous feelings for meeting the members of the Shen Family under such a situation, as well as her excitement and expectation.Of course, she felt anxious, mostly.After Wei Changying had made courtesies to the people in the hall, Old Madam Song directly asked Wei Changying to stand beside her, for she didn't need to in
The Crowned Lady Chapter 76 The Blade of “Luhu”
The autumn rain flowed down Shen Cangfeng's cheeks and dripped from the chin and turned the light red robes to dark red. In the rain curtain, the garden was bleak, yet the young man standing in the rain was full of vitality. Although his body was covered with muddy water, he still looked vigorous and without any dispirited.Shen Cangfeng's smiled slightly with his thin lips. He smiled sincerely and then saluted, "My uncle forgot something important, so my father specially ordered me to chase him down to deliver it."The important thing?Old Madam Song was stunned for a while and said, "What is the important thing?" At this point, looking at Shen Cangfeng, whose sleeves were dripping because of the autumn rain, the old madam finally came to her senses and hurriedly changed her facial expressions and shouted, "Come on to the porch to talk! You kid! Why are you in such a hurry to send something here? If this is sent by others, it will not matter.
