Chapter 399 How can one tolerate this?
Wu Weiwei picked up a peach shortbread from the table and was about to put it in her mouth when she saw Granny Sha walking over with her maid.
"Master Wu, Consort Jing has ordered you to come and speak with her!"
Wu Weiwei looked up and saw Consort Jing looking at her from a high platform not far away.
With the Emperor absent, the Empress led the ladies and young misses to the Qining Palace to admire the moon, while the rest of the guests did not go for various reasons.
So there weren't many people there at that time.
Why would Consort Jing ask her to come over at this time? Could it be that she wants to harm her? After all, she had someone refuse Consort Jing's request for medicine not long ago.
The reason she refused was not because of any discord between her and Consort Jing.
It was because Granny Sha told her that Consort Jing wanted to invest in Yulu Central City.
After being rejected by Wu Weiwei, Granny Sha angrily expressed Consort Jing's dissatisfaction with her, saying that she was out of touch with reality.
It directly points out that she is not good enough for Lu Hanting.
They even said she was a pheasant trying to climb the social ladder and become a phoenix.
Haha, is she a pheasant?
Even if she were a pheasant, she would never fly into the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion again.
Based on that statement alone, Wu Weiwei would not provide Consort Jing with her Jade Deer beauty pills.
Perhaps that's why Consort Jing is taking this opportunity to retaliate against her today?
Seeing that Granny Sha was waiting with a displeased expression, Wu Weiwei ignored her reaction and instead whispered a few words to Chun Jiao beside her. Chun Jiao then quickly left.
Wu Weiwei stood up and said to Wan Qiu, "Let's go!"
Although Wanqiu didn't know what Wu Weiwei and Chun Jiao had talked about, she figured Wu Weiwei would be protecting her mistress from the shadows.
Seeing Wu Weiwei slowly walking over, Consort Jing's anger grew increasingly intense.
"This humble woman greets Consort Jing!"
Wu Weiwei curtsied slightly.
"Get up!"
Consort Jing's gaze toward Wu Weiwei carried a chill.
"Master Wu, it's been quite a while since we last met. I've heard you've been doing quite well lately?"
"Your Highness, since leaving the Marquis of Dingguo's residence, I have been eating and sleeping well, and everything is fine!"
"you……"
Ha, I didn't expect that Wu would become so sharp-tongued after leaving Ting'er. No wonder my people couldn't get away with it.
Seeing that Consort Jing was trying her best to suppress her anger, Wu Weiwei pursed her lips.
It seems she's transferring her dissatisfaction with the beauty the emperor bestowed upon Lu Hanting onto herself.
"Madam Wu, I thought you were a content and grateful person. The day I sent Granny Sha there was just to give you a hand in business, but you are so ungrateful..."
Hearing Consort Jing's words, Wu Weiwei raised her eyes and glanced at her indifferently.
"Thank you for your kindness, Consort Jing, but Weiwei doesn't need anyone's help!"
"Cough cough..."
Seeing that Wu Weiwei was pretending not to understand her meaning, Consort Jing coughed twice.
Seeing that Consort Jing was so angry that she suffered internal injuries.
Granny Sha hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Madam Wu, you're nothing but a royal merchant. It's your good fortune that Consort Jing invested in your Jade Deer Central City. Don't bite the hand that feeds you; you don't appreciate kindness..."
Watching the master and servant sing and chant in unison.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Wu Weiwei's lips.
"Consort Jing, I'm afraid I cannot accept your kindness..."
snort!
It's laughable that they're trying to steal her Yulu Central City while pretending to be so hypocritical!
"Ms. Wu, you have rejected me today, but you will definitely regret it one day!"
Consort Jing approached her, almost gritting her teeth as she spoke.
Hearing her threat, Wu Weiwei curled her lips.
"Consort Jing, it is probably not this humble woman who will regret it, but you!"
By the way! Let me give you a piece of advice: Heaven is watching what people do.
I only hope you can maintain your high position in this harem, and not fall into the abyss.
"Wu Weiwei, what... what do you know?"
Wu Weiwei's words made Consort Jing's face suddenly turn pale.
Seeing her awkward expression, Wu Weiwei chuckled.
After Granny Mei passed away, she received a letter.
The handwriting on the letter was written by Granny Mei.
In the letter, she frankly admitted to herself what she had done and explained that it was not her intention to do so.
Although Granny Mei did not reveal who her master was in the letter, Wu Weiwei understood that Consort Jing must have been involved in Granny Mei's death.
Even if she didn't do it herself, she forced them to.
Recalling the time when she visited Hanxiang Palace and her skirt was wet by a palace maid, she had a vague feeling that Granny Mei and Consort Jing knew each other.
Moreover, Lu Hanting is just a catalyst in this whole affair.
Therefore, Wu Weiwei was certain that there was a secret relationship between Lu Hanting and Consort Jing.
As for their relationship, Wu Weiwei was unwilling to delve into it.
After all, Lu Hanting is the male lead in the story, so there will definitely be many people around him who will help him.
Wu Weiwei did not want to confront or argue with Consort Jing any longer, so she got up to leave.
However, just as she took a step, she heard Consort Jing behind her ask sharply, "Wu, how dare you!"
"I didn't tell you to leave, yet you left without permission. Do you even respect me? Do you even respect the Emperor?"
Hehe, is the show about to begin?
Wu Weiwei stamped her foot, then turned and knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, it's not that I want to leave, but I noticed your face is pale and wanted to fetch the imperial physician for you..."
Wu Weiwei defended herself, feeling wronged.
"Guards, tie up Lady Wu!"
Seeing this, Granny Sha led her people forward.
"stop!"
Lu Hanting walked over and looked at Consort Jing with a strange expression.
"Your Highness, Wu Dongjia merely noticed you were unwell and wished to summon the imperial physician for you. May I ask what crime she has committed?"
“Envoy Lu, she is merely a mere imperial merchant, yet she dares to defy me. What crime do you think she has committed?”
Wu Weiwei knelt there, looking delicate, yet her eyes and brows were full of pride.
Lu Hanting suddenly remembered the scene when she was bullied by the sweeping maid when she first entered the Marquis's mansion.
His heart suddenly softened.
"Consort Jing, it is said that one should be forgiving when possible. She only talked back to you!"
But she didn't harm you, did she? Why are you targeting her like this...?
In Lu Hanting’s opinion, Consort Jing was probably deliberately tormenting Wei’er because of him, in order to help him vent his anger!
Unfortunately, he doesn't need it!
"Ting'er!"
Consort Jing was filled with anger and resentment.
Everything she did today was for him, but she never expected that he would think she was targeting the Wu family. It was simply too heartbreaking!
Seeing Consort Jing leave with a flick of her sleeve, Lu Hanting approached Wu Weiwei.
"Wei'er, are you alright?!"
"Thank you for your concern, Commander Lu. I am fine!"
Hearing her cold attitude, Lu Hanting felt a dull pain in his heart.
He knew she wouldn't appreciate it, but he still couldn't help caring about her, afraid that she would be wronged.
"This palace is not like a marquis's residence, why can't you just be more tolerant?"
Although Consort Jing was his aunt, she was, after all, the emperor's woman and a noble consort of the Great Wei.
If she really wanted to kill Weiwei, she probably had plenty of ways to do it.
Wu Weiwei looked up.
“Commander Lu, have you forgotten that I survived by enduring hardship back in the Marquis’s mansion?”
Now that I've finally escaped the Marquis's mansion, I'm no longer willing to endure this!
"you……"
Does Wei'er mean that she always had to endure humiliation and compromise while she was staying in the Marquis's mansion and serving him?
Seeing the doubt in Lu Hanting's eyes.
Wu Weiwei stated frankly, "The reason I agreed to serve at Qingsong Courtyard for the sake of the Lady Hou was simply to survive and earn money to support my brother and me."
But who would have thought that after He Yuyan returned to the manor, you would allow her to steal my Wei Garden and my Yudie Garden.
You take anything she wants from me...
You knew perfectly well that she had schemed against me, yet you punished me without distinguishing right from wrong or clarifying the facts.
If it were you, could you tolerate this?
So what makes you think I'll ever return to your side, to your Marquis of Dingguo's residence again?
