Pei Yusheng, known as Lord Jing, was the crown prince’s biggest competitor. He was given birth by Noble Consort He.
Noble Consort He had enjoyed the Emperor’s favor for years. She was also the sister of Empress Yuan who had passed away. It was said that the sisters had been very close. She had gone to the royal palace to look after Empress Yuan who had been sick at that time. Then she had stayed in the palace ever since.
In Qu Moying’s previous life, she had met Noble Consort He more than once as the future Crown Princess. So Qu Moying knew some stories about her.
And Medical Officer Zhang was in the story.
“What’s the relationship between them?” Qu Qiuyan wanted to marry Lord Jing the most. Hearing that, the look on her face turned nervous right away.
Qu Moying picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for herself slowly. Then she looked to Qu Qiuyan, “Third sister, Medical Officer Zhang is Nobl
Qing He had been locked in the shed for a whole day. As she heard a sound coming through from the door, she got excited at once.“Third Lady, I...” As the door was opened, Qing He looked over tearfully. Then the look on her face turned panicky at once. Because it was Fourth Lady who was standing by the door with a veil covering her face. A few days ago, Qing He had still despised Qu Moying a lot. After all, Qing He was the personal maid of Third Lady, the most favored lady in this family and had never taken the Fourth Lady who had been left in the estate seriously. When Third Lady Qu had told her to set the fire, she hadn’t hesitated at all because no one would care what happened to Fourth Lady!However, now Qing He didn’t dare to look down upon Qu Moying anymore. Moreover, when she looked at the latter, she even trembled.Then she lowered her head in a hurry and said, “Fourth... Fourth Lady.”Qu Moying walked
Xu Lipeng, Young Master Yongning, was the fiancé her mother had chosen for her long ago.He was considered one of the few talented young men in the capital. A lot of noble madams wanted him to be their son-in-law. Compared to those playboys, he was really a great man.Qu Moying’s had weak eyesight, but he had never asked to cancel the engagement and had even claimed publicly that he would marry her. The engagement had been settled when Qu Moying’s mother and Madam Yongning had been very close. At that time, Qu Moying hadn’t been born yet. Anyway, the engagement still couldn’t be broken!Because of that, Young Master Yongning had received more compliments. People praised that he was a faithful guy who was even willing to marry a blind and ugly girl whose mother had died.Of course, it was merely hearsay. People said Young Master Yongning was a kind and gentle man and the Yongning family had never looked down upon Qu Moying. H
“Lady Yu!” Xu Lipeng stopped and said gently.“Where are you going, Young Master?” Yu Qingmeng, with her eyes becoming more affectionate, took a few steps forward and stood between Qu Moying and Xu Lipeng, as if she didn’t see Qu Moying at all.“Fourth Lady and I have something to attend to together.” Xu Lipeng said.“You are going out with Qu... Fourth Lady?” Yu Qingmeng, surprised as she was, took a step back and looked to Qu Moying who was standing behind her for the first time. “Fourth Lady, I’m on my way to go shopping too. How about we go together?”“It’s up to you, Lady Yu!” Qu Moying said indifferently.“Then let’s go together!” Yu Qingmeng seemed very excited with her smiling eyes. A girl like that should be very tender.Yu Chun who stood there already got furious. Even a maid like her already knew what Lady Yu was thinking. The latter obviously coveted to Young Master Xu and pretended that
The carriage suddenly stopped and the people inside lost their balance and rolled out.Qu Moying reacted quickly. She wrapped one of her wrists with the curtain and held Yu Chun with another hand.Then they both rolled out of the carriage. The curtain helped them slow down a bit as it dropped and unwrapped itself. At last, the curtain couldn’t bear their weight and ripped off.The moment Qu Moying let go of her hand, Yu Chun fell on the ground first. Then Qu Moying who had withstood the greatest weight, drawing long curtain, was flung off at once.She seemed to see a figure standing in front of her. Then she closed her eyes subconsciously. The curtain in her hand was useless now, so she tried to throw it away to get counterforce.Actually, all happened very fast, so it was impossible for anyone to catch her. Luckily, the curtain had borne some weight, thus with the counterforce, she could at least survive but wo
“Young Master Xu sent Lady Yu back home?” With a sullen face, Old Lady Qu looked at Qu Moying, who had just got changed.When Qu Moying had entered the room with blood all over her clothes, Old Lady Qu nearly passed out in shock. Though she seemed better now, her face was still utterly pale.“Grandma, don’t be mad. Maybe it’s because Young Master Xu is more familiar with Lady Yu. I don’t mind. But about what had happened...” Qu Moying paused a bit as she spoke of that. Then she looked at Old Lady Qu with a pale face.Her ivory skin lacked redness because of the shock, and her lips were also pale. The long veil covered more than half of her face, making her look more pitiful. Old Lady Qu felt both worried and furious.In the past, Old Lady Qu had thought that Xu Lipeng was a good man, and now she suddenly realized that maybe she had got it wrong.After his fiancée encountered such a huge accident, Xu Lipeng hadn’
“My lady, are you looking for a famous painting?” The owner of the bookstore saw a lady standing in front of a painting for so long, so he finally couldn’t help but ask.That painting had been there in the very corner of the store and was covered with dust.On the one hand, it wasn’t from a famous painter, and the name on the seal was not familiar to people. On the other hand, the painter didn’t draw the scholars’ favorite flowers or landscapes, which could show his artistic perception. Instead, this painting was actually rather terrifying.Under the crimson red and gloomy background, a man was walking above the sea of blood, leaving footprints behind him. His most distant footprints were slowly turning into blooming irises which were also red. The flowers made the red sea look more gruesome, as if it was the Sura Sea in the legend.It was hard to see that man’s face, but the look on his face seemed very breezy, as if he did
“Fourth Lady Qu, please. Lord Yun is upstairs!” The pageboy pointed to the stairs and stopped with a smile. Qu Moying looked at the stairs and then at the bodyguards and the pageboy. Then she nodded.“Yu Chun, stay here!” Qu Moying said.“My lady, I...” Yu Chun was worried about Qu Moying and wanted to follow her, but the latter shook her head silently. As a result, Yu Chun just stayed there.Qu Moying lifted her dress and walked upstairs slowly.There were so many people down the stairs, but none of them had uttered a sound. Every step she took seemed to have shaken her heart, sending a cold shiver down her spine.Especially since this was the Western Prison.Even strong-willed people might be nervous in this place. After all, no one could stay calm when their footsteps could be heard clearly, and their minds were disturbed.Pei Yuanjun leaned back in the large wooden chair by the wind
Pei Yuanjun looked back on his desk and rubbed his forehead. After that, he picked up a file on the desk to read. If Qu Moying were there, she would find that the file was about her.It was the information about her since she was born, even including the few times when Yu sent someone to frame her.“A gloomy, silent, and ugly girl who was sent to the countryside and ignored by her families,” Pei Yuanjun rubbed his forehead and suddenly said.“Yes, my lord, that’s what’s said in the file,” someone answered, but no one could see where he was.“Don’t you think she’s not the same person described in the file?” Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrow with a breezy look in his eyes.“My lord, but it truly is her information,” the hidden guard said firmly.No doubt it was the same person. The hidden guard was also surprised why the information seemed so unreal.If he hadn’t sent someone to investigate
