“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
‘I have another servant in the village?’ Qu Moying thought that as she headed back, but she just couldn’t remember anyone.Granny Wu and Yu Chun also had no clue.There was a doctor whom Ji Hanyue had invited for Qu Moying. However, that guy was always on the move and shouldn’t be in the village right now. The old granny there was too old to travel over here. Qu Moying really didn’t know who would come to meet her.As the three of them walked into the room confusedly, they saw a pretty maid who was around fifteen. Then they were all stunned!“My lady!” Her high-pitched voice sounded a bit different from the other maid’s, but Qu Moying couldn’t tell what the difference was.“Who are you?” Qu Moying was sure she had never met this person before. As she waved her hand, Granny Miao stepped back to guard the door.“It’s an honor to meet you, Fourth Lady.” The maid changed to a sharper voice.
Right now, the look in Xu Lipeng’s eyes was not as affectionate as before when he looked at Yu Qingmeng. What had happened today came to his mind. He felt himself being cheated in public.“Young Master, please help me, for the sake of our child.” Seeing Xu Lipeng keeping silent with a gloomy face, Yu Qingmeng held his legs while touching her belly gently, crying.“What did you say?” That was too much to take in. Xu Lipeng, stunned with his eyes goggled, said sharply.“A child. We have a child. I wanted to tell you yesterday, but you told me to go back. After that, I went to the doctor. Luckily, I was fine. Otherwise... the kid would be gone.” Yu Qingmeng sobbed with her hand on her flat belly. Now she even made herself believe that she was pregnant.“How... how could you get pregnant?” Xu Lipeng who had come back to his sense flew into a rage with his face turning green.“Young Master, that’s our child. It’s tru
Trader Mo had a good reputation in this industry and was one of the best traders in the capital.Therefore, she had better and more servants than the other traders. A lot of noble families liked to buy servants from her.Hearing that the Qu’s family wanted to buy some servants, she brought one hundred maids and senior housemaids here at once.Granny Wu brought her to Qianyue House.Yu Dong put a large chair in the hall for Qu Moying to sit down. Then she started to pick the servants.“Fourth Lady, I’ve brought these servants here as you required. There are fifty senior housemaids and fifty maids who all come from decent families.”Trader Mo said with a grinning face. She was a tactful woman.She always did business with prestigious families and knew a lot of details about these families. She had heard a lot of things about this Fourth Lady Qu, but none of the words about the latter soun
