Chapter 62 Tiger Girl Xue Weiyang
"First, I was told to bring more people with me when I go out and to be careful."
Secondly, I need my family to secretly find me a suitable partner and prepare wedding supplies so that I can get married as soon as I find a suitable one.
The idea behind the attack is to give the eldest prince something to do, so that he won't have time to spare.
Or perhaps I could use their own methods against them, drugging them as well, forcing the eldest prince and the second daughter of the Wei family into a marriage they couldn't live without.
The Duke and his wife were dumbfounded.
"Was this idea suggested by that young lady from the Xie family?" the Duchess asked.
Xue Weiyang picked up a bamboo shoot with her chopsticks and nodded:
"Um."
The Duchess immediately beamed with joy: "The moment I saw that young lady today, I could tell she was someone with her own ideas."
They said you made a good friend, and it's true.
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo looked at his daughter and asked again and again to confirm:
"Did that little girl really come up with this idea?"
"Yes. Yumin is already engaged to the eldest son of the Xie family. This Third Sister Xie is her sister-in-law. We met at the Wu family's banquet not long ago."
Xue Zhan laughed and said, "This young lady is clever; her idea is quite good and comprehensive."
Okay, don't worry, I'll talk to my father about it later and find something for the eldest prince to do.
Your marriage is here; let your mother keep an eye on it for you.
"But what are your plans for Princess Yongning's birthday celebration?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Weiyang replied indignantly, "She also gave me advice, telling me to turn the tables on her."
"I'll have Yumin cooperate with me then, and we'll switch their medications with hers. Let's see who's more embarrassed then."
Xue Zhan laughed upon hearing this: "Not bad, not bad, your friend is very good. Get to know her better in the future. You can't go wrong listening to her."
The Duke of Zhenguo finally came to his senses and nodded:
"Yes, it must be thanks to the excellent teaching of Grand Tutor Xie that the young ladies in the family are all so clever."
After eating a piece of pork rib, Xue Weiyang said, "According to what Yumin and Xie San said, Yunyu's twin brother is even more formidable."
It is said that he has a photographic memory and became the top scholar in the provincial examination at the age of thirteen. He was originally preparing to participate in the spring examination in the previous year and was bound to be a top scholar in all three levels of the imperial examination.
However, Grand Tutor Xie said he was too young and wouldn't let him participate, insisting that it be postponed until next year.
She added that if her second brother were alive, his ideas would definitely be even more brilliant.
As Xue Weiyang spoke, she picked up a bone from the bowl and placed it on the plate next to her.
Upon hearing this, the Duchess of Zhenguo placed another piece of spare rib into her bowl and asked:
"How old is Miss Xie this year?"
“She’s about a month or two older than Yumin, and half a year younger than me.”
The Duchess of Zhenguo smiled and asked, "Oh, is her second brother engaged?"
Xue Weiyang continued eating the ribs, then thought for a moment and said:
"I don't think so. His older brother just got engaged to Yumin."
I heard that they're planning to wait until his second brother passes the high school entrance exam before discussing marriage.
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo looked up at his wife, and Xue Zhan, having also understood, looked at his mother.
Madam Xue shook her head slightly at the two men, and neither of them spoke.
Then Madam Xue picked up a piece of fish for her daughter, carefully removed the bones, and placed it in Xue Weiyang's bowl.
Xue Weiyang looked up and smiled, "Thank you, Mother."
"No need to thank me, is there anything else you want to eat? Mom will get it for you."
Lady Xue and the Duke of Zhenguo had three sons before having this one legitimate daughter, who was naturally the apple of their eye and was extremely doted on from a young age.
This was a routine procedure for Xue Weiyang to pick up food, and she didn't suspect anything, focusing only on eating.
As Madam Xue picked up some food, she said, "To achieve the highest honors in all three levels of the imperial examinations—that's a rare talent indeed. It sounds impressive."
Xue Weiyang nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. They both said that Xie Erlang is very powerful."
Have you seen him?
Madam Xue looked at her and asked softly again.
"No. I heard that his second brother is studying at Nanshan Academy and is not often at home."
The Duchess of Zhenguo was quite disappointed upon hearing this, and said:
"Then you should spend more time with Xie San Niangzi in the future, and visit her at her house when you have time."
"Yes, Mother."
Upon hearing this, Xue Weiyang nodded vigorously while eating.
Xue Zhan looked at his silly little sister and shook his head.
They've been sold out without even realizing it.
We should find her a smarter husband.
On her way back, Xie Yunyu kept thinking about whether she should tell him about Lady Wei and the First Prince's conspiracy to scheme against Xiao Ling.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to tell him.
After all, the two of them currently have this ambiguous relationship that's hard to define.
Although Xie Yunyu did not want to marry Xiao Ling, she also did not want Xiao Ling to marry a vicious and scheming person like Wei Ningyan.
So as soon as he got home, he called Qingchen over.
"You said last time that the Prince of Shou'an asked you to help me deliver messages in the future?"
Qingchen was startled, thinking she had been exposed, but after taking a closer look at Xie Yunyu, she realized that Xie Yunyu seemed to be asking casually, so she nodded.
"Then go and tell the Prince that the First Prince and Wei Ningyan are plotting in Tianxing Tower today."
Wei Ningyan agreed to help the eldest prince by putting poison in the tea of Xue Weiyang, the seventh daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, on Princess Yongning's birthday, June 27th.
Forced to submit, Xue Jiu Niangzi had no choice but to submit to the eldest prince.
After the matter was settled, the eldest prince helped Wei Ningyan retrieve a personal item from the Prince of Shou'an.
She must be planning to use this personal item to harm the Prince.
Upon hearing this, Qingchen frowned.
He did not follow them into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion today and did not hear the report from the servant of Tianxing Tower.
Hearing Xie Yunyu say these words, he felt terrified.
It's fortunate that Xie San Niangzi told me such important news, otherwise I might have messed up something big.
So he nodded in agreement.
Qingchen checked the time and figured Xiao Ling should be at the Ministry of Personnel, so she went directly there.
Xiao Ling had just finished his work and was about to leave the office when he suddenly saw Qing Chen come in, and he began to have some doubts.
Recently, because of the prince's arranged marriage, Qin Yingying, Wei Ningyan, and other noble ladies have been taking turns to block him.
This caused Xiao Ling a great deal of trouble. The number of guards was doubled, and there were people following him both openly and secretly.
My daily routine is the same: going to the government office and going home. I dare not go anywhere else, for fear of accidentally falling into the trap of these people.
As for Xie Yunyu, Qingchen's messages all said that Xie Yunyu was staying at home and not going out.
This made Xiao Ling very envious; if he had a choice, he wouldn't want to go out either.
Three days ago, the imperial decree of marriage was issued from the palace, and Xiao Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was planning to meet Xie Yunyu in the next few days, she suddenly saw Qingchen arrive, and felt a little uneasy.
Since there's nothing wrong, Xie Yunyu won't send anyone to look for her on her own initiative.
So he frowned and asked, "Why are you here? Is something important?"
"My lord, Lady Xie sent me to deliver a message, saying that the First Prince and Wei Ningyan were plotting in Tianxing Tower today."
Wei Ningyan helped the eldest prince obtain the ninth daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's family. After the matter was settled, the eldest prince helped Wei Ningyan retrieve a personal item from you, my lord.
Third Sister Xie said, "They intend to harm you, and asked me to tell your husband."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling's eyes turned slightly cold.
Then she remembered that Xie Yunyu had sent someone to tell her that it was out of concern for her, so she put away her displeasure.
"So how do they plan to deal with Lady Xue?" Xiao Ling asked.
Qingchen respectfully replied, "They said they would drug Xue Jiu Niangzi on Princess Yongning's birthday next month."
"Third Miss Xie went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion today with the young lady from the Wu family. The Xue family must have known about this beforehand."
Xiao Ling nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Go back and ask her if she wants to go to Princess Yongning's birthday celebration. If she does, I'll arrange for her to go."
