Villain Lady Chapter 76

"Ah, yes, Wei Liuying didn't come today," the voice of a young girl traveled by the wind.

Wei Liuying raised her head when she heard her name faintly. Due to her martial arts, she was capable to hear the sound from a distance away. It was not that good because the distance was not that far, but it could help her greatly when she truly needed it. The most useful thing would be the chance for her to eaves drop without anyone finding out, though.

"Third Sister is feeling unwell," Wei Xiao Hua's voice could be heard.

"I heard that she got sick because she was playing in the garden, is it true?"

"What I heard from my Father is that she was hurt because she offended His Highness the Fourth Prince when His Highness was present in the residence."

"Oh right. His Highness the Fourth Prince is a bit scary. Offending him is the same as courting death."

Wei Liuying listened from the side with pursed lips. She had long known that it wouldn't do her anything good to offend the fourth prince. Even after she retracted back her surveillance, he still made trouble to her. And with her status and position, how can she even fight back openly?

It was impossible.

Unless she wished to die without an intact corpse.

"Is that true, First Miss Wei?"

There was the sound of a forced laugh. "What are you talking about? Are you trying to defame Wei Family Household?"

"We wouldn't dare."

"Yes. We're just curious Sister Wei."

"You're the best amongst us here, Sister Wei. Your fiancée is the Fourth Prince and naturally, you'll be the luckiest princess in the future."

Wei Xiao Hua laughed again. Her laugh sounded so feminine and refreshing. "There's also Sister Yin who's coming here. Don't joke around."

Sister Yin here referred to Xin Yuxia. She was the daughter of an honorable duke family who bore the surname Xin. As one of the families who contributed greatly because the location where the family stayed had a lot of resources. Even though his influence was not great in the capital city, he was a figure that should never be offended in the south area.

Wei Liuying had never met with Xin Yuxia and her family. After all, the status was quite different. Though, from this, it was clear that the Emperor was trying to steer away Ji Shao Yang's center of power from the capital city so that he wouldn't be able to contend for the throne.

'But giving him a rich person… it'll surely be exploited by the second prince.'

Wei Liuying was sure that the marriage between the two would be the start of Prince Ji Shao Yang's movement. Once his financial matter was secured, there was no need for him to worry so much about the fund that he would need to raise an army. The only question left would be whether the time was enough or not.

She didn't have the time to start pondering because the conversation had continued.

"Even though the Second Prince is older, it's a public knowledge that the Fourth Prince held higher position," a young lady giggled when she remarked.

"Indeed."

"Because of that, Sister Wei, we're only curious whether you're living well in your residence or not."

"Yeah. We're also worried about you."

Most of the sentences were full of lies. Wei Liuying knew that, and she was sure that Wei Xiao Hua also knew that these noble ladies didn't mean it. They only wanted to use Wei Xiao Hua to find out more about her bad relationship with the fourth prince.

"In that case, I'll tell you, but you need to keep a secret."

"Of course."

"Don't worry, Sister Wei. We'll never utter it out."

After a series of promise that was filled with sugar, Wei Xiao Hua began to talk again, "My Third Sister offended Prince Ji Shu because she wanted to take his attention."

Gasp of surprise could be heard.

"She wanted his attention?"

"Didn't she know that the Fourth Prince is very cruel?"

"She knew." Wei Xiao Hua laughed. "But who wouldn't want to try their luck when the chance presented themselves?"

"Tsk, that young girl didn't have any virtue. To think that someone so low is a sister of yours, Sister Wei. You must be suffering grievances."

"Yes. Thinking of snatching other people's husband just showed that she didn't have any dignity!"

"You mustn't say that. She's still wounded, but she shouldn't have any problem to walk. I'm sure that she's already ashamed of what she had done and currently hiding in her room to reflect."

Outside, Wei Liuying was staring in the direction of the garden with her eyes gleaming. If not for the fact that Wei Hong Zheng was wounded, and she had to come as him, she would surely appear as herself in the party.

What Wei Xiao Hua said sounded pretty, but it was the same as implying that Wei Liuying was a coward who didn't dare to show up her face after offending the Fourth Prince. With the reputation as someone who offended the Fourth Prince, a useless lady, and also a coward, it wouldn't be a surprise if everyone steered away from her in the future.

The ladies were still talking and coaxed Wei Xiao Hua, saying that it was her bad luck to have such a poor sister and so on.

Wei Liuying laughed coldly internally and turned around. When did she even have the ounce of interest in the fourth prince? Rather than marrying him, she would rather stab her sword on his heart so that he would die miserably.

Ignoring Huo, who was getting further and further away, Wei Liuying headed to the woods. Huo frowned, but he chose not to follow. He could hear what Wei Xiao Hua said too, so he could guess that Wei Liuying must be annoyed. Since there was no one else, he would rather leave her alone.

Even he didn't want to face Wei Liuying when the latter was angry.
