Villain Lady Chapter 57

Wei Hong furrowed his brows. "Are you sure he'll be willing to help?"
"I'll find a way," Wei Xiao Hua replied. There was a proud smile hung on the corner of her lips that couldn't be seen because of her veil. However, the brilliant light on her eyes that was brimming with confidence was visible for all to see.
The crowds were stunned when they heard what Wei Xiao Hua said. Even though they had heard that the Fourth Prince doted on First Miss Wei, it was nothing but rumor. But hearing how Wei Xiao Hua seemed to be so confident in asking for his help, they couldn't help but think that the rumor must be true.
If not, Wei Xiao Hua's confidence was unexplained.
Only Wei Hong Zheng was still glaring daggers at Wei Xiao Hua. He knew very well that the two of them couldn't meet eye to eye since his status still often be better than Wei Xiao Hua because of his gender. There would be no way Wei Xiao Hua would be willing to help him voluntarily.
Wei Hong nodded, feeling much better. "In that case, I'll trouble you, Xiao Hua."
"Yes, Father!"
"But Father…"
"Don't say anything more," Wei Hong said sternly to his son. He looked at the boy who wounded his son. "Whether you're innocent or not, you'll stay in prison for questioning. Don't hope that you can escape if you did this intentionally."
"Please have mercy!"
However, Wei Hong didn't want to see them anymore. A few guards hauled the boy away while his mother was crying buckets. However, the crowds didn't show any pity whatsoever as they felt that the incident was fishy too.
Wei Hong thanked the crowd for bringing the news to him and helped to bring his son back home. He also gave the doctor a large sum of money for his endeavor in helping his son to get the first aid that he needed.

"Liuying!" Feng Chun noticed that Wei Liuying had come out. She ignored her pale face and weak appearance as she strode forward. "Can't you do something?"
Wei Liuying looked at her mother with a confused and worried expression. "Mother, what are you talking about? I don't even know what happened. I only heard that Second Brother was hurt, so I came here in a hurry."
It was then the crowd saw Wei Liuying. Some of them had heard that she was sick the day before, but they didn't know the details. Now that they saw her, they could see that she was truly sick.
Only Wei Xiao Hua was looking at Wei Liuying with a hint of malice within her eyes.
"This…" Feng Chun was at a loss.
She couldn't possibly reveal to the crowd that the one who helped her scheme was her daughter. How shameful would it be? However, it was also the truth that her daughter was much smarter than her, which gave her more benefit in the residence, especially when it was regarding Wei Hong Zheng's matter.
Wei Liuying looked at Wei Xiao Hua. "Since First Sister is already willing to lower herself to ask help from His Highness the Fourth Prince, we must thank her, Mother."
Feng Chun was obviously unwilling, but under the state of her husband and the crowd, she had no other choice but to utter the thanks. Her heart felt like it was pierced, but she had no words that she could possibly say in this situation.
"T…Thank you, Wei Xiao Hua."
Wei Xiao Hua was still looking at Wei Liuying, but she turned her gaze to look at Feng Chun. "It's nothing, Madam Feng. I'll surely do my best."
Feng Chun's smile was ugly, but she couldn't say anything else. Wei Hong was unhappy to see Feng Chun being ungrateful like that. In his opinion, she should be happy that Wei Xiao Hua was willing to help. "Thank you for today, everyone. It's already late, so I can't possibly invite you all to the house."

"It's fine, Prime Minister Wei."
"We're happy to help."
They exchanged some pleasantries as the crowd dispersed. Wei Hong Zheng still wanted to speak, but he noticed that Wei Liuying was sending a warning glare. He clamped his mouth shut unhappily as his eyes were staring at Wei Xiao Hua with clear anger.
Wei Xiao Hua watched them with amusement. If not for the veil covering up her mouth, they would be able to see the smile that she hid there.
The way she watched everything looked as if she was only watching a play in front of her.
It was as if the matter didn't involve her in the slightest bit.

Drinker of the Yew: A Necromancer's Tale
Updates Once a Week next update 10/5 Wracked with misfortune, a nameless village along the edge of the Gray Spine rejoiced at the arrival of a paladin. Those celebrations, though, turned to wary tension as the paladin brought an unknown into their midst - his wife Nayinis, who wears the markings of a necromancer. Who is this woman? Why has she come to their village? Nayinis divulges her shadowed past, for she needs the village's trust to defeat the powerful foe that she has been summoned by the divine to face. What to expect: This is a slow-paced, dark, epic-fantasy book written mostly in an archaic first-person style, remniscent of fariy-tale at times. I am expecting the final product to be close to 600-700 pages. The first few chapters introduce a somewhat-steep learning curve of names and mythology of the world that plateaus at aroud chapter 5.

However I am currently writing a completely new story and with it is that I am taking some aspects from here and using the ideas on my new story. New characters, new ideas, new plot, everything is completely new. So I hope that goes well and i'll leave this story up as reference for me in the future. Thank you Akani Kizuato. An 18 year old that recently started to live on his own to get away from life. With his sister and father dead from the wars as they fought in, he tried to continue life and tried not to let it get in his way. It may seem that way but with his whole life planned out, it may not seem to be. He had been rejected from all universities within the nation despite being top of his class, which is very unusual because even local colleges rejected him. It was as if he was banned to go to any of those places but uknowingly why. As he ranted, and relieved stress on the school rooftop, he had received an email from an anonymous source saying that he was accepted into some academy, which he had never heard of before. With events that lead up to his mysterious encounter with people who are there to take him, it may be quite a ride. Cover art made in Adobe Spark.
