Avenge For Love novel Chapter 13

"Farewell, guard Wei." Xingxie bade him goodbye. Wei watched as she retreated to her own place.

For the next few days, Wu Xingxie only focused on the health of her brother. In the morning, she would check on him and watch him drink his medicine then eat breakfast together. After, he would sleep or practice his writing as she read informative books or meditated.

Master Wu sent her the lessons that she needed to learn in advance and at the end of each week, he would check her progress. When she was younger, he had tutors help her but she was already at a point where she could learn by herself as long as she had the resources. Xingxie was good at remembering things. Even details one would not think of.

By the age of 3, he had managed to get her to cultivate. Although she was only 16, Xingxie was at the 6th level or Talented. Unbeknownst to anyone, she was really at Senior but hid her true powers as to not raise any suspicions.

Madam Wu was more than furious after she found out that Suyin was gone. She knew the maid would fail but to think that she never returned made her heart burn with anger. She tried not to worry about trivial matters as she thought of new ways to get Xingxie out of her life.

Either the child died or lived somewhere far away from the Wu manor. Even though she didn't see Xingxie most of the time, the fact that they were living under the same roof still irked her.

As she was busy thinking, one of the concubines said something which caught her attention.

"Why don't you marry the Eldest Miss off? She is already at the age where most young ladies marry."

Madam Wu smirked evilly.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of this? I can marry her off so she'll have to live with her husband's family!"

The concubines smiled along with her. They knew how devious she was so no one would dare to get on her bad side except for Concubine Xi. The other concubines chose her side since she was the legal wife and had a backing. They also feared she would threaten them with their sons' life.

On the other hand, Concubine Xi was childless and did not have a backing. However they couldn't do anything to her.

With the Eldest Miss being close to her, they had to watch how they acted around her.

"I will find the worst husband for her out there." Madam Wu stated before taking a sip of her now cold tea unaware of the fact that Wu Xingxie heard everything they talked about.

"Marry me off? We'll see about that."

Xingxie scoffed as she teleported back to her room. She knew her mother didn't like her but to the point that she could send people to kill her, was she the one who sent the assassins?

Until she was sure who sent them, no way was she going to leave the manor.

The incident at the banquet was just the start of her revenge.

Watch your back, Wu Jishi because retribution has just begun!

Jishi- A good or virtuous person.

"Be careful." Wu Xingxie voiced with concern as she supported the young boy to stand on his two feet. Wu Xuan's condition was getting better than ever after two weeks. This was the first time he felt so good and full of energy.

As he started to stretch, tears fell down his face like rain.

"Jiejie, I'm almost cured!" He cried out. Even Concubine Xi and Yuyan who were watching started tearing up.

Xingxie was taken aback as well.

Yuyan literally bit her tongue so she wouldn't scream out loud.

Saying such words were taboo and one could be accused of treason.

Wu Xuan shrugged as he replied flatly,

"Yunxia told me since I was young but I didn't really care until you asked. He told me that father's ultimate goal is to become emperor. I was too young to know what emperor meant back then."

Wants to be emperor?!

Although Xingxie was stunned after hearing this, she quickly believed it.

"No wonder....." She said out loud.

No wonder he rised up the ranks so fast in the past! He was a renowned general yet was not satisfied with his title. So, when the prime minister died, Master Wu was made the new prime minister. This was due to his military efforts and he was the patriarch of an aristocratic family whom were one of the 5 most powerful in the empire.

Wu Xingxie thought he was satisfied with that position but it was only when she heard Xuan's words that she thought wrong.

Wu Diangxiang was a really power-hungry man! He planned to overthrow the current emperor so that he could seize the throne for himself? Of course, as long as the other families were fine with it, the people would not be able to do anything about it.
