Avenge For Love novel Chapter 41

A few weeks prior, Wu Xingxie had asked what she knew about the other clans. Xi Zhuhong gave information which Wu Xingxie found much useful than some things she heard throughout the capital.

She was also in the plan to show that Wu Xuan wasn't a sick child nor a pushover anymore.

Hearing her statement, most of the others agreed. Maybe if the Eldest Miss had socialized, she could have found a good potential husband by now.

"Father, even if First Sister can't marry now, there's also Second Brother. He's at a suitable age to marry as well and as we know, he's very popular with the young ladies of the capital." Wu Xuan smirked as he stated this. After cultivating, not only had his health improved, his self-esteem and confidence increased.

Maybe because he was always with Wei that he started to behave like the man a bit.

"That's right. Yun'er, I will arrange a wife for you in no time." Master Wu disliked the imperial family but for the sake of his goals, he had to have Wu Yunxia marry into the imperial family.

Wu Yunxia was already aware of his marriage so he didn't object. He only thanked his father for the news.

One day when I'm the crown prince, I can have as many concubines as I want. What's a fallen princess going to do?

"For the princess's birthday, I want Xingxie to attend as well." Master Wu announced. Some were a bit shock as he never allowed her to go to the social events. Did something happen?

"Any objections?"

As the head of the clan, who would go against him? Even Madam Wu held her tongue.

"If there are none then the meeting is adjourned. Those who plan to attend, prepare a gift for Princess Shuchun."

With that said, everyone began to leave the hall.

On their way out, Wu Xingxie sneered at her relatives who only knew how to act fake.

One of her female cousins walked up and smiled.

"Jiejie, we haven't met formally yet. I'm Cai Mingxia, your cousin." Cai Mingxia bowed politely but Wu Xingxie remained silent.

She walked closer to Cai Mingxia, leaned near her ear and in a low voice whispered,

"Jiejie? The daughter of a maid isn't my Meimei."

Cai Mingxia froze as her smile disappeared and turned into a dumbfounded expression.

Wu Xingxie's words were like needles piercing her heart. Since it was the truth, Cai Mingxia was unable to give a response.

Cai Mingxia heard the Eldest Miss was a kind and obedient girl so she thought maybe Wu Xingxie would be easy to trick.

"Are you alright? I only said your skirt is torn a bit. I didn't mean to embarrass you, I only mean well." Wu Xingxie spoke louder with a caring voice while pointing at Cai Mingxia's skirt.

Those near heard her words loud and clear so they looked at the two girls.

Sure enough, Cai Mingxia's skirt was torn, causing everyone to laugh and start whispering things about her.

"Cai Mingxia, as a member of the Wu clan, how can you wear torn clothes at the family meeting? Are you not scared of humiliating your parents?" An elder scolded her.

Seeing more people berate Cai Mingxia, Wu Xingxie sneaked away unnoticed and returned to her chambers.

Serves that wench right.

Having embarrassed the cousin, Wu Xingxie' s mood improved greatly.

She couldn't stop smiling even when she got back to her room.

"Eldest Miss, are you smiling?" Yuyan noticed her eyes were lit up so she wondered if something good happened.

"The elders are rebuking Cai Mingxia for wearing ripped clothes. She's brought disgrace to her side of the family. How can I not be smiling?" Wu Xingxie curled her lips into a contemptuous smile.

"Yuyan." She gestured for the girl to come closer, and whispered her plans for the future.

"I understand. I will get it done right away." Yuyan nodded and left the room to do what she was told.

Wu Xingxie looked around her room and saw the scrolls on her study table. They were the usual ones from Master Wu so she quickly opened them one by one to see what he wanted her to learn.

Only, one was different from the others. It wasn't her lessons but a secret command for her. Whenever he wanted her to do something secretly for him, he sent her a scroll with a unique seal.

Wu Xingxie unrolled the scroll and read its content.

"The right prime minister wants to obstruct my promotion as the left prime minister. Find out all the dirt on him. I trust that you won't fail."
