She went out in a fog. As soon as she left, Wu Caiwei opened her eyes and continued to cultivate.
Thus, rumors spread like wildfire that the eldest young lady spent her days sleeping in her room. Many maids had entered the manor after she left and had never heard of an eldest young lady in the manor. They had always thought that this wing only had one young lady, and that was Mu Fei. They privately speculated why this eldest young lady was sent away, and her actions led everyone to wonder if she had a problem with her brain.
Madam Mu, who managed everything in the manor, naturally heard the rumors, but she had no intention of suppressing them. Having been suppressed by her own mother for so many years, even after her death, her husband's original wife was still written on the family tree with her name. She was unwilling.
It was better if she didn't come back. After she returned, everyone implicitly suspected that she couldn't tolerate her, otherwise, why had they never heard of her for so many years? Now that everyone knew she was an insignificant person, she was indirectly whitewashed, which made her proud. Weren't they high and mighty back then? Now, some were dead and some were foolish. It was all retribution. Who told her to snatch what didn't belong to her?
Yes, in her opinion, it was all Mu Yan's shameless mother who seduced her cousin. Otherwise, how could he bear to abandon her and marry her as his wife? But after all the twists and turns, this position still belonged to her, and from now on, she would be trampled under the feet of her own daughter forever.
Wu Caiwei was immersed in the world of martial arts and had no idea what was happening outside. Even if she knew, she would just smile and ignore it. She had more important things to do.
No matter what, she could not marry into the Xu family again in this life. She had just arrived from the countryside, was unfamiliar with the place, had no one to help her, and no money. She could only rely on herself. She believed that as long as her martial arts reached a certain level, she would definitely stir up trouble in the capital.
"Nanny, how long has it been? Why haven't we heard of her leaving her room?" At first, Mu Fei and Madam Mu sent people to keep an eye on Wu Caiwei with the intention of watching a good show. But after so long, they couldn't help but wonder. Who could stay in a room for such a long time without feeling bored?
"This servant also harbors doubts, but according to the news from the spies we sent to monitor her, she has indeed been staying in her room." Granny Li had never met such a person before. She had initially worried that the young lady would make a scene when she learned the truth, but unexpectedly, she was unusually quiet. However, being too quiet also made people uneasy.
"Is she secretly plotting something? In my daughter's opinion, she probably lies in bed sleeping all day because she's too idle. How about this? She's about to get married. Mother, give her some fabric so she can make her own wedding dress."
For some reason, even though she came from the countryside and was not refined, Mu Fei felt uneasy. She had a hunch that the other party would become her greatest threat. Although she didn't know where this feeling came from, she inexplicably felt uneasy and wanted to cause her some trouble for peace of mind. Madam Mu thought for a moment and nodded. This was indeed a good idea.
Wu Caiwei looked at the pile of fabric on the table and frowned speechlessly. Was she supposed to be a seamstress? Anyone who didn't know would think the Mu family sold fabric.
After so many lives, Wu Caiwei dared to say that her embroidery skills had reached the pinnacle. Unfortunately, to avoid suspicion, she could only pretend to be a beginner and embroider awkwardly. Fortunately, she had started practicing martial arts day and night as soon as she arrived in this world. She didn't know if she could become invincible, but with her skill level, she had few rivals.
Granny Li looked at the crookedly embroidered handkerchief presented to her, on which the pattern was indistinguishable, and couldn't help but frown. With her skill, wasn't she just wasting cloth? This fabric was not cheap. It was Shu brocade that the master had specially sent people to find from Sichuan. Even Madam Mu couldn't help but feel the pinch when she saw it. Sudan Novel Network.
The seamstress knelt on the ground nervously, defending herself, "This servant taught diligently, and the eldest young lady also wanted to learn from me, but she truly has no talent in this area."
The girl thought she would be scolded to death no matter what, but unexpectedly, the madam waved her hand and let her go down. She, who had recovered, kowtowed to the madam gratefully and fled.
When Wu Caiwei thought of the many days when several seamstresses had surrounded her and guided her stitch by stitch, yet she still embroidered like that, she couldn't help but chuckle. She deliberately chose the most expensive fabric, not believing that Madam Mu would be willing to let her ruin any more.
As night fell, she lay in bed as usual. The moon gradually rose to its zenith. She changed into the night clothes she had prepared long ago and quietly left the Mu family. The reason she chose to act tonight was that although the original owner was confined to the backyard in her previous life, she was new to this world and liked to inquire about things. Naturally, she understood what was about to happen, especially since the other party was her fiancé.
She skillfully arrived at the Xu family. Seeing the box on the desk, she was overjoyed. She opened it and indeed found the painting she was looking for. She exchanged the item in her arms with it.
She had already climbed over the courtyard wall. Thinking for a moment, she returned to the main residence where the eldest young master of the Xu family lived and threw in a sleeping pill.
The next morning, Mu Fei woke up happily and dressed herself up grandly. There was a banquet at the Grand Princess's manor today. Young masters and ladies from families of officials of rank three and above would all attend. Everyone would share their treasured possessions, and the ladies would choose wives for their sons. Of course, some ladies would also come to appraise sons-in-law, and if they took a liking to each other at the banquet, a matchmaker would be sent to propose after the banquet.
In short, today would be very lively. She had not intended to attend, as her heart had already fallen on the Crown Prince. But two days ago, she received a letter. Upon seeing the handwriting, she knew it was written by the Crown Prince himself. Her heart pounded, and as she read the contents of the letter, she couldn't help but smile. It turned out that the Crown Prince had asked to meet her today.
When the Mu family's carriage arrived at the Grand Princess's gate, many carriages had already been parked there. Knowing that her status was the lowest among the young masters and ladies attending today, she decided to be as low-key as possible.
But with her looks and grand attire, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she immediately became the center of attention. She secretly rejoiced and unconsciously puffed out her chest. What if those women had higher status? As long as she entered, the men would look at her with admiration?
The ladies had dressed up meticulously, wanting to impress the other party and find their other halves at the banquet. After all, the attendees were all of noble status. They had not expected that after all their efforts in the morning and subtle competition, the moment that woman entered, everyone else seemed to lose their luster. How could they not hate her?
