Villain Lady Chapter 83

Advertisement

Wei Liuying was still busy observing them when she noticed a middle aged man walked towards Wei Hong. Wei Hong's face also lit up a bit when he saw his old friend coming over to talk with him.

"Old Wei, you don't look so good," his friend said with a smile.

Wei Hong rolled his eyes. "Why don't you put yourself in my shoes, Old Mu? My daughter is wronged right in front of me."

The one named Old Mu could only smile bitterly. "Do you think that I don't know what happen? You have a good son in law, though. He was willing to bear the brunt for your daughter and incur the wrath of the young masters."

"They'll understand as they're smart."

"Indeed."

Wei Liuying was resisting her urge to roll her eyes. What understand? They would be stupid if they failed to realize that this was nothing more but an act by Prince Ji Shu. He tried to question everyone just to show that he cared for his fiancée while the investigation was done on the back.

If not because of that, why would they be afraid to talk with others in fear that they would misspoke?

"Talking about daughter, your third daughter is in for some troubles, huh?"

"Hmm?" Wei Hong furrowed his brows. He had heard that there might be some words flying around about Wei Liuying, but he didn't really pay much attention at this time. After all, it was not that important in his eyes.

"Haven't you heard about how she tried to seduce her sister's fiancé?" Old Mu snorted. "How stupid."

Wei Hong sighed. "That's not true at all. She only accidentally offended the Fourth Prince."

"Rumors have spread, Old Wei. Even if you try to tell the truth, I highly doubted that you're going to succeed."

"What do you want, Old Mu?" Wei Hong asked his old friend. The two of them were officials and already quiet advanced in age. After all, Old Mu had already become an official for a few years before he came.

"With that kind of reputation spread, there'll be very few people who would want her. That's why I'm thinking that you should just give her to me."

Give her to you?

Not only Wei Hong, Wei Liuying nearly spilled the tea in her hand. If not because it was only half full, she was sure that her hand would be drenched in tea by now. Her black eyes were staring at the official named Old Mu with displeasure. Old Mu was already Wei Hong's friend. Even if he had broad connection, it was completely different from what Wei Hong currently needed.

Besides, this man was thrice her age!

Not twice but thrice!

"Old Mu, this is not the place to joke around," Wei Hong said in displeasure to his old friend.

Old Mu laughed. "This is not a joke. I'm serious."

"Don't you already have 10 wives?"

"I'm searching for some young blood and your daughter seem to be very suitable," Old Mu said in hearty manner.

Wei Hong was not in the mood to care for his third daughter's marriage. He was still thinking how to salvage the situation and restore Wei Xiao Hua's reputation. Silently, he also hoped that Ji Shu would be able to be the one to solve this.

"That's why you set your eyes on my daughter?"

"Of course it wouldn't be without reward. I know that you have been paving way for your eldest daughter, so I'll lend you a hand if you give me the third one."

"This…"

"Think about it. What best offer can you get aside from me?" Old Mu asked with a wink.

Wei Hong was silent for a moment. While it was true that he was silently trying to gather support, it was both for his career and for Wei Xiao Hua. He was not that lacking in his connection and without this agreement, he and Old Mu would still be friend. But with Wei Liuying's current reputation, how would it be possible for her to get a decent partner?

"Fine, I agree."

"Hahaha, that's what I know you'll definitely say. Unfortunately, we can't toast now or it'll arouse suspiciousness."

"Tone down your expression and laugh. We still need to talk about this when we return back."

"Sure, sure," Old Mu said while licking his lips. He couldn't wait for the young girl to grow up to be a budding woman. That would be the best moment in his life.

On their back, Wei Liuying's gaze had turned murderous. Even Huo, who was standing beside her was stunned. Wei Liuying had never showed any particular interest whenever the others asked her about her marriage. For women, marriage was solely decided by their parents, and they have to agree no matter what.

It was not rare for women to be married to a man far older than them in order to let their parents gain some connections and advantage.

But Huo would never say it out loudly. He was sure that Wei Liuying understood it all, but the reason why she was angry might have something to do with Wei Hong deciding so quickly. He didn't even take more than 10 sentences of persuasion before giving in. How could a father be so useless?

Wei Liuying stood up and bowed to her father. She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, she wouldn't be able to restraint her anger.

"Father, I want to take some fresh air."

"Ah, sure. Don't walk too far."

"Yes, Father."

Wei Liuying bowed once more and left to the other side. She passed a glance to Huo and that once glance was enough to send chills running on Huo's back. Her gaze was deep and filled with restrained anger. it was as if a volcano was brewing and ready to blow up, yet there was still a thin layer of earth covering it.

Huo didn't want to court death again.

He just felt that there were so many people who touched Wei Liuying's bottom line in this hunt this time.

Wei Liuying retracted her gaze and strode out of the room. Because she was dressed as a man, there was nothing wrong with her walking so quickly. Only Huo felt that even the steps sounded a bit harder than before.

The Third Miss was even angrier at her father than her oldest sister.
