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, “Who dares to touch me with your dirty hands?”
She was Ji Hanyue as well as Qu Moying!
The wide veil covered her eyes and most of her face, so her face couldn’t be seen clearly. However, it could be seen that she pressed her red lips tightly and lifted her head high. Her coldness scared everyone there.
When did the gloomy, solitary, and timid lady have such an imposing manner?
“Who…who are you?” Granny Wang was startled and panic-stricken. Shivering with cold, she asked subconsciously.
Was the girl with an imposing manner the Fourth Lady who used to keep silent and lower her head?
“You just cursed me to be blind, didn’t you? Don’t you know me now?” Qu Moying said coldly. Her voice used to be soft, but now it sounded chilly.
It sent a chill through Granny Wang. She swallowed and rolled her eyes to both sides. She didn’t want to reconcile herself to the fact that she was slapped by the weak and blind girl, but she felt scared at the same time. Therefore, she gave a hollow laugh to disguise her panic and said in a soft voice, “My Lady, I came to help you put out the fire. Why did you slap me? How ungrateful you are!”
Ungrateful? Qu Moying sneered in the heart. Her mother died early. Her father just listened to Yu and ignored the first daughter born of his ex-wife. Moreover, because she was blind, she was sent to a village. She had lived there for over ten years. Who remembered her in the family except for the Old Lady?
Without the Old Lady, no one would remember her even if she died in the village.
It was understandable that a girl who grew up in this way would be solitary and gloomy! She even didn’t want to speak!
Qu Moying pushed Yu Chun away who was standing in front of her, stood opposite Granny Wang, and looked coldly at the latter through the wide veil.
With effective treatment, her eyes became better now. They were being nursed back to health and were not accustomed to strong light, so she usually covered her face with a veil.
“My Lady…what…what are you going to do…” When Qu Moying approached, Granny Wang became scared.
“Get on your knees!” Qu Moying ordered.
“Wh..what?” Granny Wang thought she misheard, so she asked while staring at Qu Moying with her eyes wide open.
Qu Moying reached out her foot and kicked the thick legs of Granny Wang.
No one had expected that Qu Moying would kick her, so they were all surprised, let alone Granny Wang. After being kicked, she took several steps back, bumped into the wall behind her, produced a large sound, and then fell to the ground. She couldn’t collect herself this time.
“You don’t want to kneel, do you?” Qu Moying walked closer, and it seemed that she stepped on Granny Wang’s heart each time she moved.
A chill came over Granny Wang. She came to her senses suddenly and screamed, “My Lady, I am sent here by the Second Madam to put out the fire for you. How can you treat me in this way? You’ll make me a ghost with a grievance.”
Then Granny Wang began to wail on the ground and made a scene.
Qu Moying’s house was remote, but after the fire broke out, lots of people came here to put it out. Seeing the scene, they were astonished, wondering what was going on.
Some of them doubted whether the girl standing in the middle with an imposing manner was the Fourth Lady living outside. Qu Moying was just back for a few days, so many servants hadn’t seen her.
They just heard that she was weak, incapable, and blind.
“It’s ominous to talk about the ghost! What’s going on? Why does it develop in this way?” Someone said in a soft voice behind the crowd.
Qu Moying looked up through the veil and saw Yu entering with servants clustering around her like the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars. She smiled silently. Sure enough, after Granny Wang was beaten, her master couldn’t stand by any longer!
Yu just came in time! Qu Moying had predicted that once Granny Wang was beaten, her master couldn’t stand by any longer.
Qu Moying had to rise in the Qu Family within the shortest time. Only in this way could she spare time to investigate what happened to the Ji Family…
No one knew that the fighting scene had been noticed by someone with an ulterior motive!
On the eaves of a high building in the Qu Family, a man was standing with his hands behind his back. His black cloak couldn’t be seen clearly in the dark.
Inside the cloak, he wore a purple brocade robe, and his collar was embroidered with a pattern of a dark purple iris, which was clear and unique and made him look weird and quirky. With slanted eyes, he lifted his eyebrows and watched what happened in the backyard of the Qu Family with great interest.
The strangest thing was that he wore a tiny earring. As a result, it was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman from his good-looking face. No one dared to look at him directly because of his weird feeling and cold eyes.
He was born with nobility and laziness. The two features were contradictory but harmonious on him with no reason, which became a strange charm of him!
Two guards in black stood behind him and followed him closely!
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
There were many gaily-painted pleasure boats by the lake. In the early spring, flowers were not in bloom yet, but it was enjoyable to see the sights in the boats.After getting off the carriage, Qu Moying boarded a boat.It was just an ordinary gaily-painted pleasure boat. One person was rowing it at the stern, and the other was about to pull the rope.“Boatman, let’s go!” Yu Chun said loudly.“I’m so sorry. Please take another boat. This one is out of business today!” A middle-aged man came out from the stern. Looking at Qu Moying and Yu Chun, he said politely but looked gloomy.“Hey, what do you mean? Passengers have boarded but you refuse to earn the money?” Yu Chun said.“I want to earn the money, but I can’t!” The middle-aged man forced a smile. They observed him and found him sallow and limp.“Boatman, what’s wrong?” Qu Moying asked softly.“Nothing. I’m just not well
