Chapter 247 Evil thoughts
Chapter 247 Evil thoughts
Faced with Lu Hanting's questioning, Wu Weiwei was speechless for a moment.
How did she know what was going on?
But what's wrong with the Crown Prince?
Why did he look at me like that?
Wu Weiwei believed that she had been behaving properly during this period and had not offended him in any way.
"It hurts, Your Highness!"
Wu Weiwei's eyes were red, and her chin was sore from being pinched.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Lu Hanting increased the intensity of his thrusts.
"Mrs. Wu, I thought you were a kind-hearted person, but I never expected you to secretly spread rumors and slander Yan'er..."
Yesterday, Liu Yun told him that the gatekeeper, Lao Tan, was instigated by Wu's people to accuse Yan'er, but he didn't believe it at the time.
He initially thought it was a misunderstanding, and that Ms. Wu must have some unspeakable secret.
But who would have thought that today Consort Jing would send word that she wanted to adopt her as her goddaughter?
For no reason at all.
Why did Consort Jing adopt a completely unrelated concubine as her goddaughter?
Thinking back to Grandmother's letter last time, in which she mentioned going to the palace to plead for Yan'er, it's probably not about pleading for mercy, but rather...
Lu Hanting squinted.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful face before him, and recalling Xie Ningxin and Dingxiang's accusations against the Wu family last time...
A deep sense of disappointment welled up in Lu Hanting's heart.
She may be beautiful, but her heart is far too wicked.
Even though Yan'er's face has been disfigured, she still refuses to let her go.
That's right, the information he received indicated that the person who released this information was none other than the Wu family.
Seeing the prince's disgusted look, Wu Weiwei's heart skipped a beat.
Did he find out?
"Your Highness, I truly do not know why Consort Jing would adopt me as her goddaughter. As for the rest..."
Wu Weiwei looked at him, "I...I can explain..."
"Hmph, an explanation?"
Lu Hanting forcefully shook her off, and then saw Wu Weiwei stagger and fall to the ground.
"Wu, if it weren't for Consort Jing's high regard for you, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Lu Hanting's eyes were cold and ruthless, and his words were cruel to the point of being outrageous.
Wu Weiwei saw his ruthless and heartless appearance.
I couldn't help but chuckle to myself.
Ha, despite her best efforts to endure, she couldn't resist the heroine's casual, deceptive words.
It seems the plans we made before need to be changed.
"Lingfu, help your master back!"
"She is not allowed to step out of Biyun Courtyard without my permission!"
Lingfu helped her aunt up with a look of heartache.
However, when I touched her elbow, I noticed that Wu Weiwei frowned slightly.
"Auntie, your hand?"
Seeing her aunt grimace, Lingfu realized that Wu Weiwei's elbow seemed to be dislocated.
"It's alright, we can just go back and find someone to pick us up!"
Listening to the conversation between the master and servant.
Lu Hanting frowned.
Wu is quite the actor. He just gave him a push, so what?
It's dislocated already?
Is she trying to play the victim with him?
Even if her hand were dislocated, compared to what Yan'er is going through now, it's just a dislocation, so what is that?
Lu Hanting told himself that he had to be ruthless.
Back to Biyunting.
Looking at Wu Weiwei's slightly swollen wrist, Wanqiu said with heartache, "Auntie, how could the young master treat you like this? It breaks my heart to see it!"
"What's worse is that the prince has sent people to guard the door, so I can't even go out to fetch a doctor for the young lady."
That's absolutely awful!
Lingfu said fiercely from the side.
They finally understood what their aunt had told them back then.
If men could be relied upon, pigs would fly.
They thought that with the cousin dead, it would finally be their master's turn to be favored.
I never expected that just because the prince caught his concubine making a mistake, he would treat her like this.
"Woooo..."
Lingfu sobbed, feeling indignant for her master.
Wanqiu's eyes were also red. "Auntie, the young master won't let me go out. What are we going to do about your hands now?"
None of them are doctors, and they don't know how to set bones at all.
Wu Weiwei endured the pain as she looked at her two girls.
"You don't need to be sad for me."
I had actually anticipated what would happen today.
Remember what I told you before: never believe a man's sincerity towards you.
One moment he can give you his whole heart and soul, the next he can drag you into hell.
Men are the most unreliable things in this world...
A man's mouth, a liar.
Wu Weiwei looked at the apricot blossoms in full bloom in the courtyard outside, their branches stretching outwards.
One day, she will be like this apricot blossom.
They climbed over the high walls of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion.
Wu Weiwei looked at the swelling on her wrist; it was just a dislocation, and she could bear it.
Granny Sha said that the emperor's decree would be issued in just two days.
If Lu Hanting forbids her people from seeking medical treatment, does that mean he can stop the emperor's decree from being delivered?
Qiu Xinyuan.
Upon learning that He Yuyan was under house arrest in Biyunting and could not leave, her ferocious face broke into a smile.
"Dingxiang, Wu's wrist is dislocated. Does the young master really not allow her to go and fetch a doctor?"
"Girl, it's true."
The whole mansion is buzzing with the news now that Wu Weiwei has fallen out of favor…
A smile appeared on Dingxiang's lips.
It's true what they say, fortunes change every thirty years; I never imagined Wu Weiwei would have this day.
"Hehe, this is only the mild case."
"For what she did to me alone, Your Highness should give her a cup of poisoned wine."
If she could, she wished that Wu Weiwei had been disfigured like her.
"By the way, does Consort Jing really intend to adopt her as her goddaughter?"
"I've heard that's true, but shouldn't this matter require the Emperor's approval?"
After all, the adoption of Consort Jing's adopted daughter was neither legitimate nor proper, and it would only bring shame to the royal family if it were revealed.
"Hmph, she's just a lowly maidservant. I wonder how Consort Jing could have taken a liking to her!"
He Yuyan looked at the rising steam in the cup.
When she was imprisoned, Wu Weiwei went to the palace to plead for her.
She naively believed that Wu Weiwei would actually listen to the old lady and plead for her.
But now it seems, could it be that she entered the palace that day because she reached some kind of agreement with Consort Jing?
A hint of hatred flashed in He Yuyan's eyes.
Perhaps, Consort Jing's move is an attempt to support Wu Weiwei's rise to power?
Having figured this out, He Yuyan said to Dingxiang, "Could you deliver a letter to the Duke of Xie's residence for me..."
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Consort Ji was pressing the emperor's head down.
"Your Majesty, is this pressure appropriate?"
"Uh, you could use a bit more force..."
After reading memorials all day, Emperor Mingcheng felt a terrible headache!
Perhaps dismissing Lu Hanting is not a good idea.
These days, a large number of memorials have piled up here, leaving him no time to even be intimate with his concubines.
Seeing the emperor's satisfied expression, Consort Ji tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that Consort Jing wants to adopt a goddaughter?"
Emperor Cheng narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
"Hmm, they said they wanted to recognize another of Commander Lu's concubines as their goddaughter, but I haven't agreed to that yet!"
Hearing that the emperor had not yet agreed, the concubine behind him pursed her lips.
"Your Majesty, this matter is rather strange."
Logically speaking, Consort Jing and Lady Wu shouldn't have had any interaction. It's puzzling why she's so fond of Commander Lu's concubine.
