Villain Lady Chapter 11

Wei Xiao Hua didn't take a long time to look around, so the sky was still fairly bright when they were going home. However, they were suddenly surprised by a large commotion that came from the main road. A lot of people came out with clamor.

"What happened?" Wei Liuying asked the servants outside through the small window.

Xiao Qing's expression was strange. "Miss, it's said that His Highness the Third Prince, Prince Ji Sheng, had returned from the north."

"He had returned?"

This time, Wei Liuying was stumped. From what her brother told her, Prince Ji Sheng was supposed to return back tomorrow. How come he returned back today? Somehow, Wei Liuying's mind thought back of the strange servant that she met not long ago.

Was there any relation?

She didn't have much time to ponder because Wei Zilin was ecstatic when she heard the news. "is that true? Prince Ji Sheng had returned from the north? In that case, we should take a look!"

From the front carriage, Wei Xiao Hua also heard it. Her ears perked up in interest. After all, they all had never met Prince Ji Sheng before because he basically spent his entire life in the north. Even though he was only 18 years old, he was known as one of the best young generals in the Han Shi Kingdom.

Wei Liuying looked at her sister. "Is it appropriate for us to take a look?"

"Who cares about that? This is a rare chance because normally Father will not allow us to come out at all," Wei Zilin said while sticking out her tongue. Her eyes shone in anticipation. "Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't take a look and maybe Prince Ji Sheng will be able to take interest in us?"

Take interest?

Wei Liuying shook her head and silently retracted her head back from the window. She let her two sisters order the servants to turn around to the main road so that they would be able to take a sneak peek to Prince Ji Sheng.

However, Wei Liuying herself knew that what her sisters wanted was nothing more than a dream. Prince Ji Sheng was already engaged to a general's daughter in the north. Even if they caught his eyes, the best position they could get would be the concubine. Afterwards, who knew how they would live in the Palace?

With so many hidden dangers everywhere, it was the place that Wei Liuying didn't wish to get involved in the slightest bit.

She might be only 13 years old, but Wei Liuying knew many things from what she had learned. Her mother only wished for her to study in order to help her brother, but she had been using the chance in order to polish her mind too. As immature as she is, she didn't wish to dig her own grave.

"We're here!" Wei Zilin shrieked in happiness when she saw the procession.

On the other carriage, Wei Xiao Hua had also opened the curtain and looked at the procession with anticipation. She might have been engaged to the Fourth Prince, but there was nothing wrong for her to not take a sneak peek to the other princes, right?

Wei Liuying allowed Wei Zilin to dominate the window while she fixed the veil that she used. Her eyes glanced out as she could see Prince Ji Sheng rode a horse with a lot of soldiers following behind him. He had defined features and tall build. His black hair was tied properly into a bun that was covered in his war helm. From this position, it was hard to see his countenance.

She was about to move back again when her eyes caught the sight of a servant following behind Prince Ji Sheng. Her eyes widened.

'Yang?'

Thinking about what had happened, Wei Liuying came to understand that Prince Ji Sheng must have sent Yang first in order to make an inquiry about the news of his coming. Since what they knew was that he would return back tomorrow, he chose to return back today in order to thwart all the plans that the officials had for him.

Wei Liuying smiled faintly. How clever, truly worthy of the position as part of the Imperial Family.

Afterwards, Wei Liuying pushed all thoughts to the back of her head and leaned back on her chair. She didn���t wish for that servant to find out her real identity. Besides, based on her status, it would be hard for her to stumble with those high ranking people again, so she was not worried in the slightest bit.

"Kyaaa! He's even more handsome than the Fourth Prince. I bet he's even more masculine under…."

Wei Liuying tentatively closed her senses and focused on resting. She didn't want to listen to Wei Zilin's rambling. Thankfully, the crowds were noisy, and her voice was buried in the crowd. If not, they might be scorned for defaming His Highness.

After the procession was over, the two carriages returned back to the residence. As for the carriage for her brothers, it usually came home even later because they have more lessons. In addition, her brother usually took extra lessons to make sure that he could close the gap between the two brothers.

Wei Zilin was still muttering a lot of nonsense, but Wei Liuying paid no heed to it all. When they reached the residence, she quickly excused herself.

"First Sister, Second Sister, I'll be returning back first."

"Yes," Wei Xiao Hua said languidly. Her eyes were looking to the main residence as a glint appeared within her eyes. "It'll be better for you to return back soon."

Wei Liuying had the feeling that Wei Xiao Hua planned to do something, but she didn't have any clue what it was. Her heart tightened, yet she kept her expression and quickly returned back to her own residence. Her sugar painting had long been eaten by her in the journey before she returned.

She got back to her quarter and saw Xiao Yu was sweeping the courtyard. She smiled when she saw her Miss. "Welcome back, Miss."

"Prepare hot water and dinner as quickly as possible."

Xiao Yu was taken aback. "What's the hurry, Miss?"

"I'm afraid that there will be a lot of commotion soon," Wei Liuying replied solemnly. Her pace was faster when she had entered her quarter and took off the pin that she used. The long and silky black hair fell freely on her back.

"I understand, Miss."

Both Xiao Yu and Xiao Qing hurriedly prepared everything that Wei Liuying ordered them to. After they had finished, Wei Liuying wore a robe outside her nightgown and then did her hair to form two buns. She took another look at herself to make sure that she looked appropriate.

Xiao Yu went out and returned back in a hurry. Her face looked strange. "Miss, First Miss is having a heated debate with Concubine Xie, Concubine Chou, and Concubine Feng."

Wei Liuying's expression turned solemn. Concubine Feng is her mother while Concubine Chou is Wei Zilin's mother and also the most favorite concubines. Concubine Xie is another concubine who also had a son for Wei Hong. The three of them were the most powerful concubines in Wei Residence.

Why would Wei Xiao Hua challenge the three of them?

At this moment, Wei Liuying could guess the reason. It must be because of the monthly allowance. It was Concubine Chou who held the book, but the other two concubines could influence her because of their position. After all, Concubine Chou was the one who only gave a daughter while the other two bore sons for Wei Hong.

With that, the power triangle was formed.

"We'll head to the main hall."

"But Miss…" Xiao Yu's face looked worried. The scene in the hall was utter chaos with the three women unwilling to back down in the slightest bit.

Wei Liuying smiled faintly. "It's fine. I'll be alright."

Xiao Yu and Xiao Qing looked at each other before they sighed and bowed down. They knew that once Wei Liuying decided on something, it would be close to impossible for them to stop her.
