“My Lady, My Lady, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!” Yu Chun hurried to hold Qu Moying who was on her knees and covering her head.
“Where… where am I?” Ji Hanyue asked painfully, covering her head with force and closing her eyes. The memories of another girl’s life came to her mind. But she was Ji Hanyue who was pushed down the Linyuan Pavilion by the guards, instead of Qu Moying.
Why was she still alive?
“My Lady, this is your house. We have just been back for a few days. You live here!” Yu Chun answered nervously. She thought her lady asked such a question because she was scared.
“Why… why did the fire break out?” Ji Yanyue asked in a hoarse voice.
Ji Hanyue and Qu Moying’s lives intertwined in her mind, so she didn’t know who she was and had to ask by instinct.
“Why did the fire break out? My Lady, I want to ask you the same question. What is going on? Why did the fire break out suddenly when everything was fine? The Second Madam reminded us to beware of fire in the daytime, but a fire broke out in your house at night. Did you disobey the Second Madam deliberately?” Some senior housemaids entered the yard, and the head was Granny Wang, a personal servant of Yu.
Qu Zhizhen was the Second Master of the Qu Family, and Yu was the Second Madam.
It sounded as if Qu Moying set her house on fire deliberately to disobey Yu.
“Granny Wang, my lady was nearly burnt to death.” Yu Chun retorted.
“It’s not yet deep into the night!” Granny Wang waved and signaled to those coming with her to put out the fire. Then she glanced at Qu Moying scornfully while mocking in the heart: it was ridiculous that the blind girl coming from a village regarded herself as a master in the family, and it was a pity that she was not burnt to death!
“What…what do you mean? My lady isn’t well and always goes to bed early. She used to fall asleep at this time!” Yu Chun flushed with anger.
“I mean nothing. I just think…the fire breaks out when everyone is still awake. Who can be burnt to death?” Granny Wang walked over, bent to look at Qu Moying, sighed, and said while rolling her eyes.
She indicated that the fire was set by Qu Moying.
“Granny Wang, how dare you slander my lady?” Yu Chun was indignant.
“You are just a servant. If you think it unfair, you can complain to the master.” Granny Wang said fearlessly.
Complained to the Second Madam? She wasn’t afraid at all.
Glancing at Qu Moying who was squatting on the ground “in terror”, Yu Chun felt sad. Even her lady was not treated as a master in the family, let alone her as a servant!
She was Qu Moying. She was Qu Moying now.
Qu Moying pressed her head with force and closed her eyes tightly. The sound around went far at one moment and came near at the next moment, but her mind became clear gradually.
She clenched her fists. Did she become her cousin Qu Moying? So it meant she revived?
Her heart was pounding so crazily and excitedly that it almost jumped out through her throat. Thanks to God’s mercy, she didn’t die in the lake below the Linyuan Pavilion. She was reincarnated in the body of her solitary and blind cousin. The quarreling sound was getting clearer…
“Granny Wang, you’ve gone too far! No matter how unpopular my lady is, she is a master here!” Yu Chun gritted her teeth and stood before Qu Moying to protect her.
“Master? A blind master? Who regards her as a master in the family...” Granny Wang laughed loudly. When she arrived just now, she saw Qu Moying holding her head with both hands and squatting on the ground. It was apparent that she was scared to lose her mind. Therefore, Granny Wang looked down upon her even worse and began to laugh at her loudly.
Suddenly, Granny Wang was slapped across the fat face, which made her silent.
“Bitch! You dare to slap me!” Granny Wang was slapped to be dizzy, and her face became red immediately. She covered her face with her hand and glowered at Yu Chun ferociously. She thought she was slapped by Yu Chun. She had never been slapped before, but a servant girl slapped her today. If she didn’t give the girl a lesson, the Second Madam would lose face.
“Yu Chun, slap her hard!” Someone said coldly behind Yu Chun. Granny Wang looked up and found Qu Moying had stood up, which shocked her.
How dared the blind lady who hardly spoke talked to her in this way?
Did Qu Moying slap her just now?
Yu Chun gave two slaps on the face of Granny Wang. Though she didn’t understand when her timid lady became so bold, she knew it was a good time to teach her a lesson.Yu Chun used as much strength as Qu Moying did. Granny Wang was knocked flat. After collecting herself, she shrieked crazily, “Beat them to death!” Granny Wang had never been humiliated like this. She was slapped by the Fourth Lady that she looked down upon most.Who didn’t look down upon the Fourth Lady in the mansion? She usually lived in a village, and she was blind and solitary. She didn’t look like a young girl at all. Never talked to others, she always lowered her head. Others could only see the top of her head. However, she dared to ask her servant girl to slap Granny Wang. How embarrassing!The other two senior housemaids coming with Granny Wang intended to walk forward.Qu Moying gave an angry glance at them through the veil and laughed coldly,
They stood far and couldn’t hear what the people said in the house on fire, but a guard could guess what people said through their mouth patterns. If Qu Moying was here, she would be surprised to find the guard had repeated exactly what they said.Looking at the scene, the man smiled silently, “Is she the blind daughter born of Qu Zhizhen’s ex-wife? Timid, solitary, and gloomy?”It was the rumor that the guard told him just now. As expected, the rumor was unbelievable. He saw Qu Moying kick Granny Wang agilely, so he stopped to watch what was going on.“Your Highness, shall we go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion now?” A guard reminded him quietly. They meant to go to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to see the fun. Something unusual would happen there!“No hurry!” The man’s eyes sparkled, looked at Qu Moying’s back with a faint smile, and said slowly, “Wait and see!”Compared to seeing the fun in the Crown Prince’s Mansion, it
“Qing He is Yan’s servant and always looks after Yan. Why is she involved?” Yu looked angry. Qu Qiuyan was her daughter. What the hell did the girl want to do?“Madam, please bring Qing He here!” Qu Moying lifted her eyebrows slightly and said calmly.“Moying, before you came to the house, everything was fine. You’ve just been back for a few days, but the whole family is thrown into turmoil. Now, Yan’s servant is implicated. What do you want to do?” Yu couldn’t control herself. She said furiously with her face darkening. How dared the blind girl get Yan’s servant involved?“What’s Yan’s servant involved in? Why can’t it be talked about?” A serious voice came from the door. The Old Lady arrived so quickly!Yu was startled and felt upset, but she had to wear a smile, turn around and greet smilingly, “Mother.”Qu Moying walked forward, saluted the Old Lady, and greeted in a trembling voice, “Grandmother!”Sce
Qing He came quickly. Once entering the door, she kneeled and cried loudly, “Lady, Madam, I did nothing. I…”“Did you come here just now?” Qu Moying glanced coldly at her, interrupted Qing He’s sniveling, and came straight to the question.“Miss Moying, I…”“Just tell me, yes or no!” Qu Moying looked serious.Yu wanted to say something. But seeing the cold eyes of the Old Lady, she lowered her head instantly and didn’t dare break in again. She felt indignant.“I…” Qing He still wanted to defend herself.“Slap her!” The Old Lady ordered angrily.A senior housemaid walked forward and slapped Qing He hard on her face. Qing He’s head was tilted, and her face became swollen at once.“You came here with a box of cake and told me it was given by my sister just now, didn’t you?” Qu Moying asked composedly again.She had gone to bed at that time. When Qing He came to se
The warm chamber of the Old Lady was small but comfortable. It had anything necessary, and her favorite pictures were hanging on the wall.When Qu Moying just came back, the Old Lady wanted to let her live in the room. But Qu Moying was too nervous to see anyone. Therefore, she listened to Yu’s advice and arranged for her to live alone in a remote house. The big house that belonged to her nominally hadn’t been prepared.After changing her clothes, Qu Moying sat before the dresser, removed her veil, and looked at her face carefully.There were not many rumors about Qu Moying in the capital, except that she was blind and not pretty. But was that true?If she was not pretty, most people in the world could be regarded as ugly.Ji Hanyue was one of the most beautiful girls in the capital. However, compared with Qu Moying, she was less beautiful.Qu Moying closed her eyes and opened them again. She could
The woodshed was in the most remote corner. In the dark, Qu Moying told Yu Chun to bring some cake and came to the woodshed with a lantern.Granny Miao who came back with her was locked there.Yesterday, Yu locked Granny Miao in the woodshed with the excuse that Granny Miao offended her.Granny Miao wasn’t a servant of the family. She was rescued by Qu Moying in the village several years ago. At that time, she blacked out at the entrance of the village because of starvation. Qu Moying asked the head of the village to rescue her and intended to send her away with money and food.After Granny Miao came to her senses, she was very grateful. Besides, she was alone, so she stayed in the village to serve Qu Moying.She had been serving Qu Moying for several years. She treated Qu Moying heart and soul and was the most reliable person for Qu Moying.Unexpectedly, when they just returned, Yu locked Granny M
After losing the battle with Qu Moying, Yu didn’t return to her yard. Instead, she went directly to Furong House where her daughter Qu Qiuyan lived.“Mother, how is Qing He?” Qu Qiuyan asked anxiously after she led Yu into the room. She was afraid that she would be involved instead of worrying about Qing He.Qu Qiuyan kept feeling scared after Qing He was taken away by the Old Lady.She did it, so she was clear. She thought when the fire broke out, Qu Moying would die for sure. She was blind, and no one was around her. She couldn’t open her eyes in the strong light. Even if she wanted to escape, she couldn’t. No one knew who did it afterward. Others would believe that the blind girl knocked over the oil lamp carelessly, and nobody would be blamed for her death.“Qing He has been exposed!” Yu dropped on a chair and rebuked nervously, “Why were you so imprudent? I told you to wait for a few more days and act after thinking mo
“Not in our house?”“No!” The servant answered.“Mother, I had someone investigate it just now. Our house can’t be on fire again.” Yu understood what the Old Lady meant and responded with a grievance.“What did you do before that? Why didn’t you investigate it until Ying’s house was on fire?” The Old Lady snorted coldly and was disgruntled at Yu.After Yu heard the question, her face became frozen, and she didn’t know how to answer it.“Ouch. Ah… That hurts. Grandmother, my face hurts.” Qu Qiuyan covered her face with a hand and shouted in the half-genuine and half-sham way to rescue Yu from the embarrassment.“Go to see a doctor!” The Old Lady said coldly. No matter what Qu Qiuyan had done, she was a granddaughter of the Old Lady. Besides, the Old Lady thought Yu was to blame for everything.Yu took advantage of the chance to say worriedly, “Mother, let me take Yan to see the doctor. H
