Chapter 118



The other two women turned pale, not daring to say a word. They just wished they could curl themselves up into a ball to avoid any harm.

Wei Yingzhi just glanced at them coldly without saying anything else. She snorted at Miss Wan, turned around and was about to leave, but she looked at Zhou Wanning with disapproval.

"You can't do this well." Zhou Wanning's voice was soft, sweet and very pleasant to the ear.

As if to make Wei Yingzhi pay more attention to her advice, she added: "If your brother were here, he wouldn't agree with you doing this."

Wei Yingzhi frowned. Although she was somewhat annoyed by the other party's meddling, she could still feel that the other party had no ill intentions. However, when she heard that she actually used her brother to suppress her, she became even more annoyed.

"Thank you for your kindness, but since I dare to do it, I am not afraid of any consequences. Besides, what about my brother? I believe that I, his sister, understand him better than an outsider like you, so there is no need to worry about it, Miss Zhou." Although her tone was calm, the polite and distant meaning was quite obvious.

"Also, Miss Zhou is still a married girl, it's not good for her to keep talking about a man outside her family. If people misunderstand her and it ruins Miss Zhou's future marriage, it will be my brother's fault."

Zhou Wanning bit her lips lightly, her face showing a little discomfort, and her bright, watery eyes hinted at a hint of grievance.

She only meant well and didn't want to see Brother Wei's sister being criticized for this, but she didn't expect Miss Wei to be so sharp in her words.

Wei Yingzhi suddenly felt a little annoyed, especially since she couldn't figure out what the relationship between Zhou Wanning and her brother was. From what she said, it seemed that she was quite familiar with her brother, but she remembered that the only connection between the two mansions was her aunt's sister, now Mrs. Zhou Wu.

She didn't want to say anything more to her, so she bowed perfunctorily and turned away.

When he returned to Yicui Pavilion where the ladies from various mansions gathered, he saw Sun Yayan, the granddaughter of Sun Shoufu, coming towards him. She was wearing a white half-sleeve with embroidered plum blossoms, a lavender pleated skirt, and a long palace belt tied around her waist. She walked lightly, just like the moon surrounded by stars.

She subconsciously stopped and turned to look at Zhou Wanning who was not far behind her.

This is because she discovered that Sun Ya-Yan and Zhou Wan-Ning were wearing the same dress.

Sun Ya-Yen is also a rare beauty, and she is also known as a talented woman. Such elegant dress makes her look like a fairy. But Zhou Wan-Ning is even better than her. Her natural gentle temperament is less aloof than Sun Ya-Yen, and it is easier to attract people's attention.

Add to that her enviable good looks, with skin as white as jade, dark eyebrows without makeup, red lips without lipstick, and a pair of beautiful watery eyes filled with curiosity, as clear as an ignorant child, or like a mountain elf who had mistakenly entered the human world.

At this time, the girls also noticed this accident and looked back and forth between Sun Ya-Yan and Zhou Wan-Ning subconsciously.

These two people, one is the granddaughter of the current Prime Minister, and the other is the granddaughter of the former Prime Minister. It is very easy for them to be compared together. Now, the two of them dress very similarly, which makes the comparison even more blatant.

Sun Yayan's expression changed when she saw Zhou Wanning sitting opposite her. She felt annoyed, especially when she heard the surprise about Zhou Wanning from the people around her. She was so embarrassed that she almost stormed out on the spot.

Even Zhou Wanning felt a little at a loss.

Wei Yingzhi suddenly thought of Yue Ge'er's words, 'Miss Zhou has outshined all the girls in the capital.' Then she looked at Sun Yayan who had come forward to be compared with Zhou Wanning, and a bit of sympathy appeared in her eyes.

"That Miss Zhou is truly beautiful. I'm afraid there aren't many beauties like her in the entire capital. What do you think, Miss Yingzhi?" She sat for a while, trying to control her temper. Just as she was about to say goodbye and go home, Sun Yayan walked up to her and said something meaningful.

"Hasn't Miss Sun already tried it herself?" Wei Yingzhi glanced at her.

Sun Yayan's face froze, but she quickly covered it up and said nonchalantly, "Miss Yingzhi and Miss Zhou came here together just now. I never thought that you two knew each other."

"I am not familiar with her. If Miss Sun wants to do something, she can do it. It has nothing to do with me, and I don't have the time to meddle in other people's business." Wei Yingzhi was a little impatient.

Sun Yayan's smile was a little stiff: "What do you mean by that, sister Yingzhi? I don't quite understand."

"Then I'll make it clear. You came to me and said these innuendos, but you just want to use me as a weapon. Do you think you are the only smart person in the world and the others are all idiots? Isn't it just that you are outdone by others? Then just admit that you are not as good as them. How hard can it be? Otherwise, use some tricks to make them embarrassed and humiliated, and then you can get a little revenge. Just remember to do it yourself, don't think of instigating others to stand up for you, especially don't think of taking advantage of me."

"I, Wei Yingzhi, am not afraid of trouble, but I'm not the type to seek trouble. In the future, please speak more directly and be less cunning in front of me. I don't have the leisure to listen to people like you talking in circles." After saying this, Wei Yingzhi didn't even look at her already ugly face, she brushed her sleeves, and left without looking back.

"Wei Yingzhi, Wei Yingzhi, wait for me..." Just as she was about to get on the car to go back home, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind. Wei Yingzhi turned around and saw Murong Wenqi from the Zhenguo General's Mansion jogging after her.

"I'm planning to go back home too, so why don't you just give me a ride!" Murong Wenqi said unceremoniously.

"We are on different paths." Wei Yingzhi was not very happy.

"It's not a big deal. After all, we know each other. It's nothing for you to give me a ride. There's no need to be so stingy. Let's go, let's go..." Murong Wenqi simply pulled her and forced her into the carriage of the Duke of England's mansion.

Wei Yingzhi had no choice but to do as she wished.

"I heard what you just said to Sun Yayan. You are worthy of being the Fourth Miss Wei. You speak frankly!" Murong Wenqi praised in the car.

Wei Yingzhi said "Oh" nonchalantly, and then heard the other party ask: "Are you really not familiar with Zhou Wanning?"

"What did I trick you into doing!"

"That's good. I just couldn't help but say a few words to her."

"Why are you squeezing her for no reason?" Wei Yingzhi looked at her strangely.

"If I wasn't afraid of my brother getting angry, I would have slapped her in the face! But my brother treats her as a goddess in his heart. In his heart, the status of my biological sister is not as good as hers! My brother is blind. He has loved to hang around Zhou Wanning since he was a child..."

Wei Yingzhi didn't listen carefully to what Murong Wenqi said, but she suddenly remembered that Zhou Wanning had just mentioned her brother, and her beautiful brows frowned unconsciously.

"...Last year, he almost lost his life to save Zhou Wanning. I'm going to tell my parents that he dared to threaten me! Zhou Wanning is really something. If he wants to go out, can't he just take his servants with him? Why does he have to run around everywhere..."

"A hero saves the beauty?" Wei Yingzhi suddenly interrupted.

Murong Wenqi was choked by her, and then spat: "What kind of hero saves the beauty? I think she is just restless. Why is it that there are so many ladies going out, but those bad guys are attracted to her?"

After a pause, she suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Wei Yingzhi, why don't you be my sister-in-law? Although you are not a very good person, you are better than Zhou Wanning."

"Go away, stay away. If you keep talking nonsense, I will kick you off the carriage!" Wei Yingzhi threatened.

Murong Wenqi was still a little afraid of her, and dared not say anything more. But after a while, she said again: "Don't you really want to consider it? Although my brother was temporarily bewitched by Zhou Wanning, as long as he gets married and wakes up, he will still be quite good. Besides, you just slapped that girl surnamed Wan, and she might go around ruining your reputation. Who will dare to marry you in the future?"

"Do you think I really don't dare to kick you down?"

"You dare, you dare, what is there for you, Fourth Miss Wei, not to dare to do!" Murong Wenqi muttered, and finally became completely honest.

A few days later, Shen Xinyan finally found out what her daughter had done and gave her a lecture: "I see that you don't even know how to write the four words 'be careful with your words and actions' until you suffer a loss. If you are angry with her, why don't you vent your anger in any other way? You have to hit her in front of others. If this gets out, will you still have a good reputation?"

Wei Yingzhi listened to her teachings obediently until Shen Xinyan got tired of scolding her, then she obediently poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"I understand what mom said, but why should we live such a miserable life? As for those reputations, those who like you and admire you will naturally try to find out the truth and make fair comments. Those who don't like you will still fabricate unfounded things and pin them on you even if you are too perfect to be an ordinary person."

"Besides, I have a grandmother, parents, and brothers who love me. I am a decent girl from the Duke's Mansion. My status is much higher than that of the girl surnamed Wan. Could it be that if she offended me, I would have to be cautious and teach her a lesson?"

Shen Xinyan was rarely interrupted by her words. After a while, she said, "How could I know that this little devil is hard to pester..."

"If you are always looking ahead and behind, your life will be so tiring!"

Shen Xinyan stared at her deeply, and seeing her expression of disapproval, she sighed helplessly after a long time.

"It's a honor for you to be born in a Duke's Mansion. If you were born in a lower family, with your temper, you would have to endure a lot of hardships!" In the end, she could only poke her forehead in annoyance.

"Why do you worry about these things, mother? The rich have their own way of living, and the poor have their own way of living. If I didn't have such a background, I naturally wouldn't have such a temper." Wei Yingzhi shook her head and said.

Shen Xinyan was amused by her and pinched the corner of her mouth hard: "So, your bad temper was cultivated by your parents?"

"Of course. If I didn't have the confidence you gave me, I wouldn't be so brave!" Wei Yingzhi leaned on her shoulder with a smile and said coquettishly.
