Chapter 190 One Link After Another
Wei Jia and Su Rongrong had just heard the maid report that Min Yuexi had arrived at Lingyun Pavilion when she had already entered.
She quickly came forward to greet him, saying, "What brings you here, Miss?"
"I came to see how your leg injury is healing," Min Yuexi replied with a smile to Wei Jia. Seeing Su Rongrong beside her, she quickly added, "I also came to check on Third Sister to see if there's anything I can help her with."
Congratulations to Su Rongrong: "I heard that the Enping Marquis's Mansion is already looking for a matchmaker and is preparing to choose an auspicious day to visit Grandmother and discuss Third Sister's wedding date. I congratulate Third Sister here."
Su Rongrong blushed and thanked her, then exchanged a few brief pleasantries with Min Yuexi before returning to her room with several maids, leaving Min Yuexi and Wei Jia alone.
She was very self-aware; Min Yuexi's visit was definitely not to see her. Therefore, she never did anything that would bother others.
Seeing Su Rongrong leave, a hint of pity flashed in Wei Jia's eyes.
Turning her gaze away, Wei Jia put on a smile and asked Min Yuexi, "Is there something you need from me, Miss?"
Min Yuexi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Has something happened at Grandmother's estate?"
"Doesn't Miss already know?"
Wei Jia's gaze fell on Min Yuexi's face. It was she who had someone leak the information to Min Yuexi.
She wanted to see how Min Yuexi would react.
Although the old lady never said anything, she could tell that the incident at the estate was definitely related to the Lu family and their associates.
The Lu family gang had just suffered a blow when Old Madam Sun died suddenly, and the entire Sun family returned home to observe mourning. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they had lost an arm.
Logically, under these circumstances, the Lu family gang should have backed down, avoided confrontation, and endured for a while.
But why did they suddenly jump out and cause trouble?
The only thing that's been making headlines in the capital lately is the affair between Tang Yunxiu and the two young ladies of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion.
Is there any connection between these two?
It's uncertain whether it will be good or not.
However, Min Yuexi might know something.
Sure enough, as soon as the Dowager Madam left, she had someone inform Min Yuexi of the news, and Min Yuexi came knocking on her door.
Min Yuexi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have something I want to tell Sister Weijia. I hope Sister Weijia can help me convey it to Grandmother."
Wei Jia looked at Min Yuexi with a beaming smile, "Please speak, Miss."
Min Yuexi composed herself and said seriously, "Tang Yunxiu has a connection with the Lu family."
Wei Jia was startled. "How did Miss know?"
Min Yuexi shook her head. "I can't tell you how I know, but the fact is that Tang Yunxiu is Lu Ming's distant cousin."
Wei Jia understood immediately, "So, Miss is targeting Tang Yunxiu to pressure the Lu family?"
Min Yuexi nodded: "Yes. Almost no one knows about Tang Yunxiu's relationship with the Lu family now."
“By dragging out the lawsuit between Tang Yunxiu and my second sister, I am forcing the Lu family to expose Tang Yunxiu’s relationship with them.”
“Once Tang Yunxiu’s relationship with the Lu family is exposed, everyone will stand on the side of the Xuanping Marquis’s mansion and sympathize with my second sister and me regarding the matter between Tang Yunxiu and my second sister.”
Wei Jia looked at Min Yuexi with a playful expression, "What do you mean by 'the other party actively revealing themselves,' Miss?"
Min Yuexi choked, a look of panic flashing across her face as if she had been seen through.
But she quickly composed herself and explained, "Let's see who comes to plead for Tang Yunxiu or mediate a reconciliation."
Wei Jia added, "Shouldn't we add another possibility? For example, what if the Sun family relents and agrees to marry the second young lady?"
With her thoughts laid bare, Min Yuexi finally couldn't keep up the act anymore.
That was definitely her plan!
The plan is to expose Tang Yunxiu's relationship with the Lu family, ruin Tang Yunxiu, and then marry the disgraced Min Yuerui into the Sun family.
She was able to successfully dissolve her engagement with Tang Yunxiu and even gain the sympathy of the crowd.
After all, both Lu Ming and Tang Yunxiu came here to avenge the Lu family.
She was just a pawn they were using.
A win-win situation!
Min Yuexi looked at Wei Jia with some embarrassment, "Does Sister Wei Jia think I'm too calculating and too heartless towards Second Sister?"
“No, I think you did a great job,” Wei Jia gave an unexpected answer.
One scheme leads to another; her scheming is quite sophisticated. Regardless of the final outcome, Min Yuexi's plot has already succeeded.
Min Yuexi looked at Wei Jia in astonishment.
Then Wei Jia explained with a smile, "If you want to deal with the Lu family, you have to use any means necessary. It's understandable to sacrifice some people when necessary."
"Moreover, Aunt He and the Second Miss were originally sent by the Lu family. Their schemes against the Grand Madam, the Lady of the Marquis, and the Eldest Miss are still fresh in our minds."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the eldest young lady scheming against the second young lady now. On the contrary, I think the eldest young lady is doing a great job!"
"Repaying injustice with justice and kindness with kindness is the right thing to do, so there's no need for you to feel guilty, Miss."
Hearing this, Min Yuexi felt relieved, her eyes reddened slightly, and she looked at Wei Jia gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding, Sister Wei Jia."
Wei Jia smiled and said, "As long as the target of your schemes isn't the Grand Madam, I won't care. On the contrary, I'll even offer you some assistance."
"Thank you so much, Sister Weijia!" Min Yuexi was a little excited and stood up to curtsy to Weijia.
No one understood the meaning of these words better than Min Yuexi!
She had always longed for her grandmother's support, but she knew that because of what had happened in her past life, her reborn grandmother was not so easily softened.
She had tried several times, but she could never gain her grandmother's forgiveness or support.
Having Weijia's support now is almost the same as having my grandmother's support.
After all, Wei Jia is now basically in charge of managing the affairs around the Grand Madam and the people on the ground.
As long as Wei Jiaken supports her, she can use the manpower and connections that belong to her grandmother.
"Don't worry, sister, I will do everything in my power to eliminate those people from the Lu family, so that Grandmother can enjoy her old age in peace!"
Min Yuexi solemnly made a promise.
Wei Jia remained noncommittal, then changed the subject, saying, "You came to see me because you think the matter at the Grand Madam's estate is related to Tang Yunxiu's lawsuit?"
“Yes.” Min Yuexi suppressed her excitement and nodded in response, “Tang Yunxiu and Lu Ming have a close relationship. I’m afraid the events at the manor are related to them.”
Wei Jia frowned. "So what are your plans?"
Min Yuexi thought for a moment, "I originally wanted to drag out the case and force them to compromise. But now, they've secretly targeted my grandmother..."
Min Yuexi hesitated and said, "Otherwise, should I just close this case quickly?"
Wei Jia thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No need. Just proceed according to your plan. As for the Grand Madam, she has her own plans."
Regardless of the reason why the other party is targeting the Grand Madam, once they have offended her, she will not suffer in silence.
She will definitely find out who's behind this and make them suffer a huge setback.
Min Yuexi was still somewhat hesitant. "Should we tell Grandma about this and ask for her opinion?"
Wei Jia gave Min Yuexi a meaningful look.
Was this a deliberate display of filial piety? Or was he testing her, to see if she dared to make a decision behind the Grand Madam's back?
Regardless of what Min Yuexi thought, Wei Jia decisively replied, "You don't need to worry about it. I will talk to the Grand Madam about this myself."
"Yes. Then I'll trouble you, Sister Weijia."
