The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Those people glared at Helian Wei Wei threateningly as they helped Yun Biluo down the stairs. Vaguely, their voices could still be heard as they comforted Yun Biluo, "Sister Yun, don't be upset. It isn't up to her whether or not you become the secondary consort. Moreover, has she looked at herself in the mirror? How could she possibly stop an imperial order from the Emperor…"

  "I'm alright." Yun Biluo appeared as if she was trying her best to smile where the corners of her mouth were curved upward with the aim of invoking more sympathy. "I'm sorry I got everyone worried…"

  Heize observed the interactions below and glanced at Helian Wei Wei, "Girl, compared to what Yun Biluo just did, you have a long way to go."

  "I know." Helian Wei Wei took a sip of her tea only to notice that it had turned cold.

  Heize raised his eyebrow. "So, you don't intend to teach her a lesson?"

  "I'll be busy for these two days." Helian Wei Wei put down the tea cup, obviously somewhat distracted.

  Heize stretched out his hand to tidy her fringe, "Don't think too much about it. Even if Yun Biluo can act well, we're not too shabby ourselves. But the most important thing is, what do you think of the Third Prince?"

  "No," Helian Wei Wei's voice was soft. "The most important thing is what the Third Prince thinks of Yun Biluo."

  Heize laughed, "Whatever you say. In any event, if you feel like you've been wronged, I'll take you away instantly. The Jiang Nan side makes fast money and we could take the chance to expand the influence of Wei Ze World as well."

  Helian Wei Wei agreed with a heart swelling with warmth. Heize treated her very well, just like a protective brother that would fight anyone who bullied his sister even if it would end up with him getting hurt just to avenge her.

  In the modern era, she had never had this kind of relationship before. She had always been on her own, going solo even after her mother passed away and when she was framed as a thief. Nobody who had ever stood up for her.

  However, Heize would.

  He had shown her what family meant.

  Heize looked at Helian Wei Wei's cold face that was filled with gratitude but unaccustomed to thanking people. He patted her head, "Other girls your age only think about how handsome a guy is, but you… from the moment I met you, you always have this 'I'm-really-lazy-so-stay-away' face. Do you really need to be so m.a.t.u.r.e?"

  "Well, big brother, compared to you floating through the brothels at the age of twelve, I'm really not considered m.a.t.u.r.e." Helian Wei Wei whacked away his hand as she roasted him in return with no mercy.

  With his dark history exposed, Heize's mouth twitched. This god-sister of his was not in any way cu… Wait!

  "What did you just call me?" Heize's eyes shone.

  Helian Wei Wei angled her face away with raised brows, "Big brother."

  "Hahahaha, hahaha." Heize went absolutely crazy and patted Helian Wei Wei on the shoulder, "You finally called me big brother!"

  Helian Wei Wei almost spat out blood from his gesture of patting. She knew that the Hei family had had three consecutive generations of males and that Heize had been whining about wanting a younger sister since Wei Ze World had just started operating.

  In summary, no one would have ever thought that Second Master Hei who dominated the commercial world in the city had a sister complex!

  "Don't worry, little sister, even if you're cold and sharp-tongued, nobody can bully you." The feeling of having a younger sister was wondrous to Heize and he could not help but pat her head a few more times, thinking that he could show off his sister in the future. He would start by showing her off to his old man at home.

  Helian Wei Wei rescued herself from under Heize's hands, "Cold and sharp-tongued?"

  "The details aren't important!" Heize coughed lightly.

  Helian Wei Wei raised her brows and continued, "Let's focus on what matters. I want you to help me pick out a few bodyguards with exceptional martial arts, but all of them have to be female."

  "Female?" Heize asked curiously, "How come?"

  Helian Wei Wei explained the situation of her Yab-Yum.

  After listening, Heize laughed, "Isn't it better to just throw yourself at the Third Prince?"

  Helian Wei Wei was speechless. How was this guy's logic the same as Yuan Xiaoming?

  "I don't want to let issues like this restrict myself."

  Heize pondered meaningfully, "Mmhmm, then do you want me to spend some money to get you a guy?"

  "No." Helian Wei Wei massaged her forehead with apparent repulsion to this suggestion.

  Heize looked meaningfully at Helian Wei Wei. "Is that so? So aside from the Third Prince, no other guy will work for you?"

  Upon hearing this, Helian Wei Wei was momentarily stunned.

  "Mull over this carefully." Heize stood up with an inexplicable look in his eyes. "I'll find some good bodyguards for you, but you'll have to think through the rest by yourself. Be careful of Yun Biluo, she's very much capable of stirring up trouble."

  Helian Wei Wei nodded, "I know."

  "Then, I'll make a move first." Heize patted Helian Wei Wei's head for a final time. "Just instruct your maid to find me if you need anything."

  "I will." Helian Wei Wei looked at Heize's leaving figure and started analyzing the reason why she could only accept Baili Jia Jue.

  Behind her, Yuan Ming added wickedly, "What's strange about that? In the first place, the Third Prince has always been a dashing man, and your first was also given to him. It's only natural if you feel something for him. The most important thing now is to collect his Qi. Once he really has other women, the Qi won't be as pure as it is now."

  "You say that as if I'm some kind of evil fairy that preys on the Qi of men." Helian Wei Wei stood up and did not continue thinking about the issue. Baili Jia Jue was meant to inherit the throne and unless he could give up his harem, there was no point for her to think about it.

  This was because she craved freedom more than anyone else.

  She would never be able to stay in the Palace and waste her entire life away, chasing the affection and attention of one man.

  Walking down from the second floor, the first person that Helian Wei Wei saw was Murong Changfeng.

  Compared to the past, the Murong Changfeng now had more of an incomprehensible sullenness in him.

  Helian Wei Wei did not understand why he was blocking her, hence, she raised her eyes to look at him before walking around him.

  "What was the difference between marrying him and marrying me?" Murong Changfeng's voice sounded cold behind her, "You couldn't take the flirting between Jiao Er and I at the time, but now you're able to bear the fact of having Yun Biluo by his side?"

  Helian Wei Wei turned back with ridicule in her eyes. "The things I couldn't take were your bullshit and your ingratitude. Save it, Murong Changfeng. Instead of appearing in front of me, why don't you use the time to think of how you're going to climb up the ladder? Wasn't that the reason you kicked me aside in the first place last time? In your heart, marriage was but a stepping stone to your career."

  Murong Changfeng's entire facial expression had changed upon hearing Helian Wei Wei's words. His knuckles cracked with the clenching of his fists. Subsequently, he sneered, "So the Third Prince didn't marry anyone to climb his way up? With your looks, how long do you think he'll allow you to stay by his side? This idea probably crossed your mind when you first married him right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let Heize prepare some kind of escape route for you."

  "Matters between us don't concern you." Helian Wei Wei glanced at him plainly and with a dull voice, said, "You know nothing."

  "You!" Murong Changfeng looked at the back of the figure that he would never be able to get close to again. Besides feeling vexed, he was filled with an immeasurable sense of emptiness.

  Yun Biluo stood under a eucalyptus tree not far away with the corners of her mouth twitching upward.

  She put together what sh
e had heard of the conversation between Helian Wei Wei and Murong Changfeng in the teahouse.

  So, Helian Wei Wei and His Highness' marriage was a mere deal.

  Well, well, well.

  Yun Biluo's lips curved into a smile. It was only a relationship of mutual utilization.

  Then, that would be easy…

  Meanwhile, Helian Wei Wei who had just left the Trading Compound wanted to take advantage of her spare time to have a look at the Green Dragon which was submerged at the bottom of the Green Dragon Lake.

  However, the Green Dragon Lake seemed foggier than usual, making Helian Wei Wei frown involuntarily.

  "Something's wrong." Yuan Ming called for Helian Wei Wei to come back, "Woman, don't walk further."

  Helian Wei Wei paused mid-step, "What is it?"

  "The aura here is harmful to your body now." Yuan Ming narrowed his eyes. "You can come back after the day of your Yab-Yum, or otherwise, you won't be able to make it through the Full Moon night before you burst."

  Helian Wei Wei looked at the fog surrounding the Green Dragon Lake. "Is it because of this fog?"

  "This isn't a normal fog." Yuan Ming's eyes darkened. "I don't know what method they used, but someone gathered the resentment of the whole Academy here and currently, you're unsuited to continue walking forward."

  Helian Wei Wei's frown deepened, "Then, what about the Green Dragon issue?"

  "Pass it to someone else," Yuan Ming's voice was tinged with a rare seriousness. "Master Hei is a straight person and won't be affected by the resentment. Once you get through the full moon, then you can come to look for the Green Dragon."

  Helian Wei Wei thought about it as she pulled back her gaze from the Green Dragon Lake. "Then that's all we can do."

  The only thing is, who is spending so much effort, trying to destroy the auspiciousness of the Academy?

  Helian Wei Wei did not know why, but she had a feeling that the person who did this was in the Academy itself.

  Splash!

  The surface of the Lake rippled with the splash.

  "Madam, Mistress, we're here." The footman opened the cloth curtains of the carriage.

  The figure of a young lady walked down from the carriage. She had waist-length black hair combed tidily behind her and with a pair of glassy eyes with allure that any man could hardly resist; she seemed to be thinking of something.

  However, from the expensive clothes the girl was clad in, it was not hard to see that she was of high status. Moreover, even though her face was covered with white gauze, based on her looks and facial structures, she was obviously Helian Jiao Er who had hidden away the past few days to escape from rumors.

  Helian Jiao Er who had rested well enough outside had evidently come back with better spirits.

  Su Yan Mo stood beside her as they linked arms. Both mother and daughter appeared to be smiling in a good mood.

  They had waited for this day for too long.

  The Third Prince was finally going to pick his secondary consort and to them, this was amazingly good news.

  That ugly Helian Wei Wei was going to lose out terribly.

  The mother and daughter had left the city with thoughts of letting the rumors in the city cool down before coming back.

  She had found a clue to the hidden army.

  Madam Su hesitated for a moment before waving her hand, signaling for her handmaid to wait there as she put on a straight face, walking toward the Hei Manor.

  "May we ask what has brought Madam to the Hei Manor?" The two guards outside the doors turned toward Madam Su who was proceeding with frowns.

  "Young man, may I please trouble you to report inside. Just say that Madam Su of the General's residence is here for a visit to discuss a matter regarding the hidden army." Su Yan Mo mentioned the General's residence with full confidence, thinking that Old Master Hei would definitely invite her into the Manor.

  "Please do wait, Madam as I inform the Old Master." Once the two guards heard the mention of the hidden army, they gave a sideways glance at each other.

  One of them turned to walk into the Hei Manor.

  In no time, the guard who had walked in just now had come back out again and with a straight face, he said to Madam Su, "Madam, the Hei family will only receive real members of the Helian family."

  "What do you mean real members of the Helian family?" Helian Jiao Er who had been listening from the side said coldly, "Don't I bear the surname of Helian?"

  The guard glanced at her and said in a plain voice, "The heir who has Old Master Helian's blood running through his veins is probably not this young lady here."

  "But I should still have the right to see the hidden army, right?" Helian Jiao Er could not help but raise her voice, "The Helian family is about to be passed into the hands of my father and I am my father's heir. At that time, the hidden army will once again return under the control of the General's residence and it is for the best that I am able to see the army to understand them better."

  The guard was unmoved, "To see the hidden army, there should be a display of a Military Seal. As for you, young lady, you have no Military Seal and you are not considered a real member of the Helian family. Therefore, please leave."

  With that, the guards did not give any extra glances at Helian Jiao Er and focused attentively on the surroundings as if the mother and daughter before them did not exist at all.

  Upon hearing the remarks by the guard, Su Yan Mo's initially beaming face was then filled with bewilderment. She thought that by bringing along Jiao Er with her to look for the hidden army, Jiao Er's identity as a Phoenix Girl would flourish wherever they went. At worst, they would still be able to see Old Master Hei.

  As long as they saw Old Master Hei, they would at least understand more about the hidden army through him even if they could not get support from the hidden army.

  Yet, unexpectedly, Old Master Hei had not given her any face and not even let her enter the doors of the Hei family.

  As she mulled over this, Su Yan Mo gritted her teeth in anger and with a momentary pause, she turned back to the carriage with a dark sullen face.

  Chapter 389 - Take Her Away, No Rush XOXO

  The handmaids and stableman who saw her sullen face were all scared, hence they lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound. It was because they were all servants who had been by Madam Su's side for a long time and based on Madam Su's previous habits, a bad mood meant that one of them would bear the brunt of her anger.

  Yet, Madam Su did not do as they had imagined and merely entered the carriage directly.

  "Back to the residence." Within the carriage, Madam Su's face was exceptionally cold and her words came chillingly through her gritted teeth.

  Immediately, the servant lifted up the carriage.

  Helian Jiao Er clenched both fists in unwillingness. "Mother, are we just leaving like this? We didn't even see the hidden army!"

  "Jiao Er, didn't you hear what the guard said? To see the hidden army, the mere identity as an heir of the Helian family isn't enough, there needs to be a show of that Military Seal." Inside the carriage, Madam Su slowly cooled the fire boiling inside of her as she replayed what the Master of the Hei family had told the guard to inform her and talked to her beloved daughter slowly.

  Helian Jiao Er was a clever one and with a simple nudge in the right direction, her eyes brightened in understanding. "So this means that even if that b*tch Helian Wei Wei came by, she wouldn't be able to see the hidden army without the Military Seal, am I right?"

  "Exactly. To actually take control and delegate the hidden army, one needs to have the Military Seal. Hence, even if that little bit*h has Helian blood flowing through her veins, it's useless. Moreover, with what she's done over the past few years, the hidden army will probably be disappointed in her. Otherwise, they would have tried to make contact with her earlier on with her identity as the sole heir of the Helian family. Yet, the truth is that even Old Master Hei dislikes that little b*tch, haha, even if she can find the
hidden army, they wouldn't necessarily take orders from that little bit*h anyway." With that thought in mind, Madam Su's face no longer showed the anger that had previously been there. Instead, she was smiling happily like never before.

  Helian Jiao Er smiled as well as she leaned against Su Yan Mo's shoulder and said happily, "So that little bit*h, Helian Wei Wei's last backup route is cut off. After the Third Prince has chosen his secondary consort, she'll still have a place for her within the Palace if she's lucky, but if she's not, that ugly girl will just be thrown away. Then, father can just take away all the Helian family inheritance rights from her! That b*tch will definitely end up crying in a corner! Even with the Wei Ze World, she's still no match for me!"

  "That's for sure, our Jiao Er is the most beautiful and understanding lady among others." Su Yan Mo raised her hand to gently c.a.r.e.s.s Jiao Er's long hair, imagining the future where they would finally be able to raise their heads in full satisfaction.

  At that point in time, at the end of the Clan Meeting, Helian Wei Wei would be kicked out of the picture.

  She would make that little b*tch rot six feet under, just like that mother of hers!

  However, never in Su Yan Mo's wildest dreams would she have thought that Helian Wei Wei had already obtained recognition from the hidden army and had already started her experimentation with her first batch of arms.

  Thus, on the same day, as soon as Su Yan Mo had left, Helian Wei Wei received news of her looking for the hidden army.

  After disguising herself, Helian Wei Wei put on a cloak and arrived at the Hei Manor.

  Old Master Hei seemed somewhat angry, "They were the ones who stole someone's family away in the first place and now they have the nerve to sound as if the hidden army was always theirs. What rubbish!"

  Old Master Hei lowered his voice, "Wei Wei, was this how you got by in these past years?"
