The Princess Wei Yang

 Stepmother Bleeds

Da furen regained her calm composure and coldly scolded Lin mumu, "I had especially assigned you the task because strangers would make me restless. I have told you so many times to quickly bring her the new clothes. How come you haven't gotten it done? Wei Yang is our Li jia's San xiaojie, the Prime Minister's daughter. How can she tolerate your slowness? It's unreasonable to make our San xiaojie wear old clothes out in public. Is it because you guys want to create misunderstandings between us mother and daughter? To make others think that I am treating San xiaojie badly?"

Listening to Da furen's words, Li Wei Yang remained respectful but was coldly laughing on the inside. Da furen was Da furen for a reason. She did not waste a single breath beating around the bush. Every word she spoke was spot-on. Wei Yang could bring up the same reasoning, but if she did then Da furen would not have any face left. On the other hand, when Da furen said these words, she was practically pushing the blame onto Lin mumu.

Lin mumu was quick to react as she immediately kneeled on the floor and admitted her faults in between sobs. Lin mumu said it was all her fault, that it was her irresponsibility and incompetence that brought about this matter. Even though Da furen had verbally given her the task, Lin mumu knew it was not Da furen's real intentions to make new clothes for Wei Yang. It was all due to the incident regarding Li Zhang Le that had caused Da furen to be upset, which was why these past two days, Da furen was in fact waiting for Wei Yang to come and beg for forgiveness. But who would've known that Wei Yang would directly seek out Lao furen instead?

San xiaojie looked weak and fragile, but she was actually very smart. If she had been any bit more foolish she would've gone to Da furen and asked for justice and lose her face value in the process. However, she had purposely waited for this moment where Lao furen and Wen shi was both present to bring up this case and put Da furen into a difficult position. There was nothing Da furen could do but to swallow down her anger.

"Hurry up and apologize to San xiaojie!" Li Zhang Le yelled out loud.

Due to Zhang Le's beauty, even the way she spoke was filled with elegance and sophistication, but when it came into Wei Yang's ears, for some reason, all she heard was a two-faced person talking. It filled Wei Yang with disgust and resentment. Wei Yang was not like Li Chang Xi and the others, who only wanted to gain Da furen's favours with sweet-talk and praises, so that in the future, they could secure a good marriage. Wei Yang knew Da furen was more than willing to use them as a stepping stone for Li Zhang Le's future.

Continuing with the act, Lin mumu kneeled down in front of Wei Yang to apologize. "San xiaojie, it's all my fault. Nubi will immediately tell them to bring over all of the new clothings to you. I guarantee you will like them too."

Looking horrified and panicky, Wei Yang immediately backed away and looked at Da furen. "Mother, this, this is really. . ." She spoke extra slowly, stumbling on her words, as if she wanted to beg mercy for Lin mumu's sake.

Da furen gently replied, "Wei Yang, don't you worry. Just leave everything in my care. Should you feel any injustice in the future, I will help you teach these irresponsible servants a lesson!"

Wei Yang bowed down with gratitude. "Thank you, Mother. I shall leave everything in your care." After today, Wei Yang was sure nobody was going to easily look down on her.

Meng shi examined Wei Yang then waved her over. "Come here, child." Wei Yang walked over as Meng shi signaled Luo mumu. "It's been a month since you've been here. I have a present for you."

Luo mama understood immediately as she returned a few moments later with a small box in floral designs. Inside the box, it was filled with jewelry and accessories.
