Chapter 755: The Du Sisters
Du Wei and Zhao walked towards the Zhao family.
Zhao was ashamed and frustrated: "Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't understand clearly and almost got cheated..."
Du Wei reached out and patted Zhao's hand. It was not her fault, she was doing it for herself.
Du Wei frowned, hesitated for a moment, and as if he had made up his mind, patted Zhao's hand.
Zhao quickly looked at her: "Miss, do you want to ask me something?"
Du Wei nodded.
In reality, Du Wei was a person with little curiosity and rarely asked questions. She couldn't speak, and when she asked questions, she had to gesture. This magnified her shortcomings and made her feel inferior. Gradually, she stopped asking questions, suppressed her curiosity, and became silent, seemingly uninterested in everything.
However, she was so curious about this matter that she couldn't help but stretch out her hands and gesture.
"Miss, are you asking who that young lady was just now?" Zhao guessed what she meant.
Du Wei nodded. The lady helped her, and she wanted to know her name. She silently memorized her name in her heart and would definitely repay her in the future if she had the chance.
Moreover, the lady was so unique that people couldn't help but like her and want to know more about her.
She felt that the lady was like the character in her storybook, unrestrained and free-spirited, taking pleasure in revenge, like a chivalrous hero.
"I don't know who that lady is, but I can ask her." Zhao said.
Judging from the lady's attire, she should be a noblewoman from the capital.
Although Zhao was gossipy, she lived in the backyard and had no chance to get in touch with the circle of noble ladies. She knew very little about the noble ladies in the capital.
She only knew something about such important events as the Regent taking power.
The master and servant walked towards the backyard, but were suddenly blocked by someone.
"Sister, where did you go so early in the morning?"
The person who stopped them was a young girl, slightly older than Du Wei, around nineteen years old. She was dressed in brightly colored clothes, and had a hint of arrogance between her eyebrows. This girl had ordinary eyebrows and eyes, but her temperament made her look much more flamboyant.
When Zhao saw the girl, her face suddenly looked unhappy.
"Miss, the second lady just went out for a walk. You are meddling too much." Zhao said coldly.
The older girl was Du Wei's sister Du Yan.
Du Yan didn't get angry when Zhao said this. A smile was on her face. "I'm not controlling my sister, I'm caring about her. Xiaowei is pretty and can't talk. What if she gets bullied by some scoundrel and can't get help?"
"Miss, I'm here to accompany you." Zhao's face looked unhappy.
"You're just an old woman, what else can you do except hold Xiaowei back?" Du Yan said in a harsh tone.
Zhao was gasping for breath in anger. Du Wei patted Zhao's hand to comfort her, then took Zhao's hand, walked around Du Yan and continued walking forward.
"Sister, it's very dangerous outside. Don't run around. Just stay in the Du family. The men you meet outside are not reliable. Don't worry, mother and I will find a husband for you." Du Yan said with a smile, and her voice lowered as she watched Du Wei's back go away.
Zhao and Du Wei were already upset after experiencing the scam, and meeting Du Yan made them feel even more unlucky.
As soon as she entered the yard, Zhao started complaining.
"Although the eldest lady has a dark heart, she is still a good person and can keep her face. How could she raise such a mean and uneducated person like the eldest lady?"
"Haha, wait for them to look for one? The men chosen by the Madam are all ugly! Only those that Du Yan doesn't want are given to you, young lady!" The more Zhao thought about it, the angrier she became.
She really wants the young lady to find a good husband, preferably one a thousand times better than the one Du Yan likes, so that she can slap Du Yan and the eldest lady in the face!
"Come to think of it, the eldest lady and the mistress are cousins. Back then, the mistress entrusted the young lady to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady agreed to it. But then she turned around and treated the young lady like this. How hypocritical!" Zhao said angrily.
Du Wei wanted to say that the eldest lady didn't treat her too harshly. After all, she didn't lack for food and clothing.
It’s just…what Du Yan said was really unpleasant.
However, she was telling the truth.
I am indeed a mute. Even if I am bullied, I can't say a word or shout out.
She had gotten used to it, but when she thought of 'Wei Ziyi', she felt uncomfortable again.
Wei Ziyi must think that he is a very good person and can speak eloquently, but he is a mute and cannot speak a word.
The more Du Wei thought about it, the sadder he felt.
She lowered her head, but Zhao didn't notice anything unusual and continued to chatter.
"I think the first lady is jealous of the lady. Back then, the lady was deeply loved by King Jing and was adopted as his daughter. She enjoyed great glory and the first lady must have been jealous to death. Later, the late emperor rebelled and King Jing was exiled to guard the imperial mausoleum. The lady also suffered with him... and could only marry the master as his concubine. Speaking of which, the first lady was also involved in this matter. It seemed like she was providing timely help, but in fact it was to humiliate the lady!" said Zhao.
"Ah, the lady's life is so miserable, and the young lady too..." Zhao said, and suddenly realized that it was not a good thing to say so, so she quickly shut her mouth.
Du Wei took Zhao's hand and walked into the study, then wrote three words on a piece of paper and handed it to Zhao.
Those three words were written very carefully and beautifully.
"Wei, Zi, Yi?" Zhao read out the three words.
Du Wei gestured.
"Miss, do you want me to find out more about this person?" Zhao asked.
Du Wei nodded.
Zhao wrote this down and decided to inquire about the lady and the young man named Wei Ziyi when she had the chance.
Originally, she had few connections and knew very few people.
However, this lady and this man named Wei Ziyi were too famous, and after several twists and turns, she actually found out.
After hearing the result, Zhao was shocked.
"Miss, I have found out about that lady and the young man named 'Wei Ziyi'. These two have extraordinary identities and are related!" said Zhao.
Du Wei raised her head and stared at Zhao with her beautiful eyes, which were full of curiosity. Her hands were tightly twisted together, with a hint of nervousness.
"The lady who helped us is called Tangli, the Regent Princess!" said Zhao.
Du Wei's eyes widened. Regent Princess?!
Although Du Wei was in the backyard, he also knew the title of Regent!
Back then, Prince Rui rebelled, threatened the emperor, and wanted to abdicate. It was this regent who turned the tide and put down the rebellion!
This regent was powerful and decisive, and people spoke of him with both respect and fear.
For a declining family like the Du family, the regent is completely unattainable.
It is said that the Prince Regent and the Princess are extremely affectionate, and the Prince Regent holds the Princess in his hands and pampers her in every way.
The Regent Princess she imagined was also noble, superior, and like a delicate flower.
I didn't expect that the real Regent Princess would be so approachable, so unrestrained and free-spirited, without any airs at all, and willing to stand up for an ordinary person.
"Wei Ziyi is the second son of the Regent Prince and Princess. He is handsome and intelligent." Zhao continued.
Du Wei was completely stunned.
Wei Ziyi, also known as Fei Zhu, is actually that lady's son?!
His father is the Prince Regent and his mother is the Princess Regent? !
His status is so noble? !
"However, it is said that he is an adopted son, and the Regent and the Princess also treat him as their own son. Miss, do you know this second young master?" Zhao couldn't help but ask curiously.
In her opinion, such a young man was not worthy of the Du family even when it was at its peak. Naturally, she did not dare to think too much about it, but was just curious.
Du Wei shook his head, obviously not wanting to say more.
After Zhao left, Du Wei looked out the window with visible sadness on his face.
She and Fei Zhu are spiritual friends and soul mates, and they don't care about each other's status.
However, she developed other thoughts about Fei Zhu, and their relationship fell into the secular world, so naturally her family background had to be taken into consideration.
Fei Zhu was perfect in her heart, but she couldn't speak...
She began to have some bad thoughts, for example, Fei Zhu might be the unfavored illegitimate son of the Wu family, and the gap in status between him and her was not so obvious, so she would not be so inferior.
In fact, his status is noble and unattainable.
Du Wei was holding the invitation to the birthday party and suddenly felt that the invitation in his hand was a little hot.
Zhao walked out of the yard and was stopped by someone.
When Zhao saw the person who stopped her, her face looked unhappy.
"Why are you so idle, Miss? Do you have so much time to hang out?"
Du Yan didn't care about her sarcastic words at all. She smiled and said, "I came to see my sister. How can I call it just hanging out?"
"The young lady is very busy, so please don't disturb her."
Du Yan looked at Zhao and continued, "I heard you've been looking for someone lately. Did my sister ask you to do that?"
Zhao didn't want to pay attention to her, so she turned around and walked away.
"Xiaowei is asking about the name 'Wei Ziyi', right?" Du Yan said, seeming to be thinking about something.
