The Anarchic Consort

“Miss Helian, how about you ride a horse?” The little eunuch stubbornly propped up a smiling expression. “This slave even prepared a horse here.”

Wei Wei smiled. “You’ll have me, a young lady yet to marry, ride a horse and show my face in public, that’s not too convenient.”

Little eunuch:…

Wasn’t she using the words he uttered just now to stop up his mouth!

Moreover, when did she care about these kind of things like whether she was married or not!

She clearly didn’t want to go!

The little eunuch felt that his was an unprecedented thorny problem. The little eunuch before him had already set off and he looked back this way with the intent of having him hurry and catch up.

Clearly, Wei Wei didn’t even want to move a muscle. The little eunuch thought that this time, he’s truly done for. If this matter was leaked, Eunuch Sun didn’t even need to investigate, that madam would even take care of things herself.

After all, only dead men tell no tales.

What can he do, what can he do now…

Just when the little eunuch reached the end of his ropes, a horse carriage suddenly stopped by his side. “What’s going on? Is there something wrong with Sister Wei Wei’s carriage?”

People from the upper class were like that. Clearly, two people had merely seen each other a few times, yet could already call each other ‘sisters’.

Wei Wei looked up and turned towards the person talking. That’s a young lady from the Good Compound, a rather pretty daughter from a small family. Her father had just been promoted to the capitol, and could be considered to be sailing smoothly right now. But seriously speaking, within this group of students, her background didn’t amount to much. Not only that, she didn’t have any talent for martial qi, nor participated in the competition this time. To accompany them to Hidden Spirit Shrine like this was really somewhat surprising.

Wei Wei’s eyes flashed, smiling levelly. “There indeed was a problem, the wheel on the carriage is pretty old, so we’re waiting for Eunuch Sun to come over and take care of it.”

“The wheel’s worn out?” That young girl knit her brows and took a glance at Wei Wei, apparently wanting to say something, but hesitated before continuing. “If Sister Wei Wei doesn’t mind, then let’s sit in the same carriage with me. On the road there, the two of us can chat and relieve our boredom.”

Wei Wei’s eyebrows rose and was going to refuse.

That young girl meticulously looked at the wheel again before she said ambiguously. “It just so happened that I have a something to warn Younger Sister to be careful of.”

“Oh?” Wei Wei pondered as her corners of her mouth moved. “I’ll trouble Sister Chen, then.”

“What trouble is there to mention, as long as you don’t mind, sister will be feel delighted.” After saying this, Chen Wen Wan turned towards the maid standing outside and glanced at her. “Hurry up and help Sister Wei Wei get up here.”

That maid was about to step forward.

But Wei Wei already came forward in large strides. “There’s no need, I can help myself.”

“Younger Sister’s so skillful.” Chen Wen Wan lightly smiled while waving the fan in her hands. Her each and every move was picture perfect.

Wei Wei sat by her side, smiled shallowly, and didn’t say anything else.

Chen Wen Wan looked outside the carriage. Intentionally or otherwise, her gaze fell on that little eunuch, and glanced over that way before letting down the curtain, speaking in a quiet voice. “Let’s go, don’t delay.”

“Yes.” The horse whip raised gently, the wheels made an impression as they crossed over the mud beneath the rain water.

The little eunuch stood at a concealed location, his facial expression imperceptible. It could only faintly be felt that he breathed out in relief.

Having the imperial guards open a path for them, the horse carriages in the rear got going, much more securely than usual.

In addition, all of these horse carriages were the ones Retired Emperor personally had people prepare. Sitting in them felt very comfortable. Inside, there’s even a small rectangular table on which was arranged a small teapot as well as dried fruits.

The more one looked, the more it resembled an outing. Wei Wei casually poured herself some tea. What’s best about going on a mountain road was that it wasn’t too hot, as a breeze blew gently, and beautiful scenery could be observed everywhere.

Wei Wei had just taken a sip of tea, when Chen Wen Wan sitting by her side looked left and right, then meaningfully sucked in a deep breath, as if she’d made a big decision before she leaned over by the side of her ear to say. “This carriage was altered by Sister Jiao Er and her people.”

Wei Wei’s fingers playing with the porcelain cup paused, and her brows jumped. “How did Older Sister know?”

I arrived early today, and personally saw it.” After Chen Wen Wan finished speaking, she let out a very long sigh. “From the looks of it, Sister Jiao Er can’t tolerate you.”

Wei Wei smilingly said. “Since this is the case, why didn’t sister tell Eunuch Sun, instead of telling me?”

“Sister, ah, do you truly not know, or are you pretending to not understand.” Chen Wen Wan grabbed a piece of cake. “Sister Jiao Er is someone who can’t be provoked at White Academy. She has the support of the four great clans. It doesn’t matter what Third Prince’s attitude is, Retired Emperor still hopes that the person to take Third Prince’s Consort position will be Sister Jiao Er. Eunuch Sun is someone who serves Third Prince. How could he look for trouble with his future master. Even if I were to speak to him, what good would it do. At that time, maybe I’d even be kicked out of the academy.”

Wei Wei laughed again. “What I’m hearing from Sister seems to suggest swallowing this grievance.”

“Sure enough, Sister is really smart.” Chen Wen Wan smiled again and said meaningfully. “At this point, even if we have no animosity and no complaints, as long as we possessed good looks, and have an opportunity to get close to His Highness, we’d still be targeted and pushed aside! It’s just that, we’re only small players. But Sister, having been targeted by people, have you not thought of any countermeasures?”

“What countermeasures?” Following the other party’s words, on Wei Wei’s face was a smile that’s not a smile.

Chen Wen Wan looked carefully all around. After she was certain the carriage windows have all been closed, she then secretly spoke in a quiet voice. “I actually have a way.”

“What way?” Wei Wei correspondingly also lowered her body.

Chen Wen Wan hesitated a bit, pausing after each word. “This time, we’re actually burning incense at Hidden Spirit Shrine because there’s a flood in the South. Retired Emperor wanted to go to pray for blessings. If someone among us were to do anything wrong, we’ll definitely suffer a worse punishment than usual. Why don’t sister use this opportunity to fight for yourself.”

“Fight for myself?” Wei Wei seemed to have a bit of trouble making sense of what she’s hearing.

Chen Wen Wan’s gaze was clear. “Every year, after the event at HIdden Spirit Shrine, Retired Emperor always commanded the students to accompany his old person to walk up to an ancient pavilion around there. At that time, Sister only need to take this thing and place it on the body of the one you want to deal with. After that, I only need to bump against her body and we’ll succeed.”

“What’s this?” Wei Wei took the yellow package that Chen Wen Wan handed over, her eyes narrowing.

Chen Wen Wan’s voice lowered. “Witch wood. It’s a very evil thing!”

Ba bump…

Again, a broken piece of wood was beneath the wheel.

Wei Wei’s body swayed along with the carriage shaking and her fingers stopped. “Why does sister want to help me in this way?”

“If I hadn’t suffered being pushed aside so fiercely, I also wouldn’t have come up with this idea.” Chen Wen Wan lowered her head and let out a very long sigh. “Sometimes people just don’t have the freedom to act independently. Who told us to be born from poor backgrounds. By trying to get ahead a little we end up as a target for people. I just don’t want to continue living like this anymore.”
