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
“Young Master Yongning sent those flowers to Third Lady and Lady Yu. These two extra pots were supposed to be sent to Second Madam, but she wanted you to have them. So she sent me over,” the senior housemaid explained with a grinning face.“For me?” With a doubtful look, Qu Moying asked.“Yes, Second Madam said that Fourth Lady is still young and must love flowers. Even if you can’t see the flowers, it’s still delightful to smell them. Such beautiful flowers are always pleasing to look at. If they were just ordinary kinds, Second Madam wouldn’t let me come.” The senior housemaid that Yu had sent here indeed knew how to say pretty words.Her glib talk sounded as sweet as a song.However, the things she tried to imply truly were provoking.What did she mean by saying Qu Moying could still smell them? What was she trying to imply by mentioning the beautiful flowers and the ordinary kinds?Yu Chun’s fac
“Sick?” Old Lady Qu, with a cold look, glanced at Yu, who came early to make obeisance to her.Yesterday, the senior housemaid whom Yu had sent here had made a great disturbance, so Old Lady Qu had already known about everything. As she looked at Qu Moying, who was sitting there quietly and then at Yu, who was wiping her swollen eyes, she just couldn’t help getting angry.Old Lady Qu didn’t believe there would be such a coincidence!“I heard that Qingmeng had run into an accident on the busy street yesterday. If it were not for Young Master Xu... She might... She might not be able to come back. She’s a vulnerable girl. After she was frightened, she kept having nightmares last night. That’s why she’s sick.” Yu wiped her eyes again.“Ying was also frightened, but she was fine last night. Today she even came here to visit me early in the morning. Originally I worried about Ying the most because her body is the weakest.”
“What? Aunt, you want me to move now?” Yu Qingmeng looked at Yu with disbelief.She didn’t expect that Yu not only hadn’t brought back any good news but even asked her to leave after she came back from Old Lady Qu’s place.Under Yu Qingmeng’s gaze, Yu felt ashamed and angry because she had overshot the mark before. Having twisted the handkerchief in her hands, she said in a low voice, “I’ll ask someone to help you move to the guest room. Just live there for a few days. After these days, she’ll be too ashamed to live there. Then I’ll send her away in a sedan.”Yu Qingmeng had believed that before, but now she couldn’t help doubting, “Aunt, is your plan going to work? What if something goes wrong again?”“It will work. I already got in touch with Lord Jing’s cousin.” Yu put on a long face as she was questioned by her niece. Then with a cold look, she said, “Don’t overthink. You can’t act tough now, or we’ll be suspected after
Xu Lipeng was standing by the door with his handsome face turning red with anger while glaring at Yu Qingmeng furiously.Seeing the two women both looking at him, Xu Lipeng calmed himself and walked in slowly. Standing beside Qu Moying, he talked to Yu Qingmeng harshly, “Lady Yu, I don’t know what you are talking about. At that time, the former Second Madam betrothed Fourth Lady to me. The two families have had a great relationship with each other for a long time. I’m very satisfied with my fiancée, and I won’t break the engagement off.”“As for what has happened yesterday, I already explained. I didn’t mean to make it misleading. If I knew you had this kind of thought about me, I would never do that. I should just let it happen to you, which would be better than being slandered by you right now.”Xu Lipeng said bluntly with coldness and anger in his eyes.Yu Qingmeng took a few steps back. With her legs getting weak, she al
Qu Moying looked at Granny Miao and then at the senior housemaid. Nodding, she said, “I see. I’ll go over immediately.”Yu acted really fast.“I’ll go back to report Second Madam.” The senior housemaid turned around and left with a grinning face.Qu Moying turned her head to look at Xu Lipeng and said, “Young Master Xu, please excuse me!”Xu Lipeng knew it would be inappropriate for him to explain more to Qu Moying now. So, he could only nod with a sullen face. After that, he strode out, feeling quite annoyed. He felt so awkward being rejected by Qu Moying.‘She’s just a blind girl. Does she really think she’s so popular?’ he thought.Qu Moying walked out after him. Then Granny Miao came close to her to tell Qu Moying what she had found out.“Young Master He? He’s related to Lord Jing? So he’s the eldest son of Noble Consort He’s older brother?” As Qu Moying thought about the visitor’s
Yu Qingmeng woke up as she heard a scream. The moment she opened her eyes, she looked right into Xu Lipeng’s murderous eyes, which freaked her out. Then she said with a sweet voice, “Young Master Xu!”For the moment, she didn’t know where she was. She moved her body and tried to stand up, but her hand and feet were trapped by something. Then she pushed the thing beside her subconsciously but failed to move it. As she turned around to have a look, she saw a pair of squinted eyes on a fat face. Then her brain just went blank.She looked down, finding one of the fat man’s hands on her waist and the other on her chest. The front of her dress was in a mess and even unbuttoned to her chest. Even the underwear on her upper body was exposed.“Ah!” she let out a piercing, terrific scream. Yu Qingmeng slapped the fat man’s face violently and pushed him away with all her strength. Then she rolled on the floor and stopped by Xu Lipeng’s feet.
“Aunt, I don’t know why it ended up like this. I was knocked out when I was passing by. After I woke up, I was here.”Knowing that she couldn’t hide the truth anymore, Yu Qingmeng cried and pushed the senior housemaids away. Then she rushed to Yu.She planned to blame He Dapang for everything.He Dapang was not easy to fool. He denied at once and said loudly, “Hey, what the hell are you talking about? What do you mean by you were knocked out? I’m the one who’s drugged! I also fell asleep for no reason. When I woke up, I found you on my bed. Then I thought that your family did have a special way to treat your guest.”Hearing his flirty words, Yu, face turning red, felt both angry and resentful. She even found Yu Qingmeng unpleasant at this moment. She had told her not to come out, but the girl just wouldn’t listen to her. Now even the reputation of the Qu’s ladies, especially her daughter, was influenced. Qu Qiuyan wanted to
After Yu had been driven out by Old Lady Qu, she had wanted to go back to her yard because Yu Qingmeng was still there. Since Old Lady Qu had told Yu Qingmeng to go back home, Yu had to deal with it.On the halfway back to her yard, she suddenly turned around and walked to Qianyue House in rage. When Madam Yongning had been here, she couldn’t mention Qu Moying. Now that Madam Yongning had left, she had to get everything straight or she would be driven crazy.She knew Qu Moying must have something to do with today’s incident.After a few turns, she saw Granny Wu leading Qu Moying over, and her heart just jolted. She couldn’t believe Old Lady Qu valued Qu Moying so much that she had even sent her private servant to call Qu Moying over.With her teeth gritted, she still walked toward them. Since she already ran into them, she had to ask what she wanted to ask.“Second Madam!” Seeing Yu coming over with a sullen fac
