Helian Wei Wei looked down. “Then when should this witch wood be used.”

“Younger Sister don’t need to worry about this.” A light quickly flashed within Chen Wen Wan’s eyes. When we arrive at Hidden Spirit Shrine, there’ll naturally be an arrangement for the students to rest. When the young ladies go to relieve themselves, before they go for a stroll, Younger Sister only need to take advantage of the time Retired Emperor lights the incense and place this thing on that person’s body. That’ll do.”

Wei Wei slightly creased her brows. “In case I’m discovered, what should I do?”

“Younger Sister, don’t worry, with me as a screen, no one will see it.” Chen Wen Wan spoke with a spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice, the tone of her voice even carried a slight implication of urging her on.

Wei Wei looked pensive as she smiled. “OK, then let’s just try according to Older Sister’s method.” Since somebody dug a pit to have her jump, if she didn’t go explore, wouldn’t that be such a pity.

It’s just that when it came time for the bird to catch the soft-sh.e.l.led turtle, she’s afraid that someone else will…

….

The horse carriage already traveled for about eight hours, and finally took a midway rest.

Everybody continued to sit in their respective seats. The sons of n.o.bility sat directly in front and drank water as they chat. Their demeanor and graceful appearance made several young ladies dressed in their long dresses giggle, one after another.

In contrast to the men’s joy and harmony, the women were obviously divided into factions.

No one was willing to sit together with Wei Wei, even though she publicly became the armament champion before numerous people. However, from the girls’ perspective, without power, without influence, and even without good looks, she simply wasn’t in the position to sit and drink tea with them.

The maids served them with utmost care, and brought the osmanthus and lotus seed soup that they’d previously prepared, took out a wooden box, and bit by bit poured it into a bowls. It was previously iced and most suitable for drinking on a journey.

Helian Jiao Er received a bowl and instructed her maid. “Also bring to the other two sisters for them to have a taste. Although this isn’t some precious item, it’ll work to quench their thirst.”

“This iced and cold feeling really is not bad.”The Liang family’s young lady drank a mouthful delicately, using her handkerchief to dab the corners of her mouth. After seeing Wei Wei across from them eating a steamed bun, she very disdainfully curled her lips. “Some people are truly backward, what kind of place is this, to be eating steamed buns and stewed beef.

However, what’s going on with the one with last name Chen. How could she go get mixed up with that country b.u.mpkin.”

Helian Jiao Er also turned towards Wei Wei’s direction and took a glance, laughing along.

The young men at the other side naturally also noticed the activity over here.

After they finished drinking the first-rate Longjing tea received from their servants, they cast a glance in Wei Wei’s direction from time to time, disdain very distinct on their faces.

“No wonder this ugly person doesn’t suit graceful gatherings. No matter how strong she is, she’s still a barbaric woman.”

Several people laughed out loud, some even started joking. “Based on her looks, if delivered before grandfather’s face, grandfather will still have to think about it.”

“Ha ha ha Ha ha.”

The young men’s voices were very low, bystanders simply couldn’t hear.

If Wei Wei really heard them, probably the person talking absolutely wouldn’t have survived past the weekend.

What’s more, they’d never have thought that one day, the person who they said they’d disdain to even touch, surprisingly will become the kind of stunning beauty in the capitol who’d take people’s breath away. However, these things should be written about in the future. At present, Wei Wei still wore that slightly black face, and calmly bit into the steamed bun in her hand. Actually, her table manners were very good-looking, radiating a kind of heroic grace, wearing a smile that’s not a smile, even while using the wooden chopsticks to place a piece of beef into her mouth. Her lunch box also looked really good. It’s made of simple wood, but very good at maintaining heat. On one side was even a s.p.a.ce to store fruits and vegetables, appearing very appetizing.

Don’t know whether it’s because it’s too appetizing.

Words were suddenly heard by the side of her ear. “Hey, girl, what’re you eating? I want to make an exchange with you.”

Sitting by her side, Chen Wen Wan’s hand holding the teacup paused.

As the tree’s shadow swayed, she eventually saw clearly the appearance of the guy who’s speaking. Her beautiful eyes opened wide, powdered lips pursed tightly, the hand gripping the handkerchief didn’t know when it already became rigid. The fingernails pierced the handkerchief and even imprinted red traces onto the palm of her hand. Her heart actually beat wildly.

“My Lady…” Her personal maid tugged at her sleeves, as if to remind her to focus on the situation.

Chen Wen Wan finally seemed to recover, and breathed in deeply, nonchalantly using her sleeves to conceal the palm of her hands. When she looked up, she already became incomparably gentle. “Young Master Hei…”

Hei Ze ‘mm’d once, his overbearing aura was difficult to cover up as he took large steps to cross her, then lowered his eyes to look at Wei Wei. “Girl, you didn’t hear what I said, right?”

“What’re you bringing to exchange with me?” Wei Wei calmly put down the chopsticks in her hand, without planning on taking Young Master Hei’s intent seriously. Last time, during the compet.i.tion, he even took advantage of her like they were childhood sweethearts or something. She’d simply had enough.

Hei Ze coveted the stewed beef he’d glimpsed at inside her lunchbox. “I’ll use the swallow’s nest soup made by my servant, it’s still iced right now. I’ll give all of it to you.”

“Swallow’s nest?” Wei Wei shrugged her shoulders in disinterest. “Swallow’s saliva, you can leave for yourself to slowly enjoy.”

Hei Ze glared at her for a bit. He originally gave voice in order to help her out of an embarra.s.sing situation. This silly girl, why did she leave the house bringing such totally embarra.s.sing foods. However, after looking at her lunchbox again, his saliva suddenly flowed out. When they enter the temple later, indeed, they wouldn’t have meat to eat. Right now, he actually wanted to eat stewed beef to his heart’s content. “Then what do you want in exchange for your lunchbox.”

“I already ate half, you still want it?” Wei Wei glanced at Hei Ze’s eyes, and knew that the other person fancied the meat in her box. She knew this partner of hers was a young master who couldn’t live without meat and immediately laughed. “It’s possible to have me give it to you. One thousand taels of silver.”

Hei Ze didn’t speak. On the contrary, the little servant by his side jumped. “One thousand taels of silver, you might as well directly rob us!”

Really, within this short time that he wasn’t by his master’s side, what kind of friends had his master been making and why’s he treating this Helian Wei Wei so favorably.

“Think it’s expensive?” Wei Wei was merely joking. After watching the disdain in the little servant’s eyes, she smiled even more widely, the depths of her eyes actually became ice-cold. “Young Master Hei don’t have to buy it.”

Seeing her expression, Hei Ze knew that she became upset. Originally, the two of them always joked at each other, especially these jokes about money. How was it that when other people got involved, a different atmosphere developed.

“I haven’t said anything, what are you b.u.t.ting in for?” Hei Ze said levelly. “Go and prepare a thousand taels of silver for Miss Helian.”

He not only did this to tell the little servant that Wei Wei’s not ordinary, but also to have those young lords know that some jokes should not be said recklessly!

After all, Hei Ze’s ident.i.ty was clear. Seeing him also eating stewed beef, other people also didn’t say anything more and moved their gazes away embarra.s.singly, becoming quiet.

Wei Wei naturally understood Hei Ze’s intent, and gently smiled in response. “That’s not necessary, how could it be a thousand taels of silver. If you like it, just take it and eat. I even brought wine, how about it?”
