"First Sister, would you like a cup of tea at my place? I've brought some good ones, but grandmother said she was too old for those. We can have some together," Qu Qiuyan invited Qu Xuexin after Qu Moying and others left.
"First Sister, it's really good. You have to try it. Lord Jing gave it to Qiuyan," Qu Caiyue hurriedly added.
"I... I'll pass it," Qu Xuexin said softly and rubbed her temples. "I'm a bit tired. It was my fault not to keep an eye on Moying. I shouldn't cause the trouble and make grandmother disappointed."
"You have nothing to do with it! She's not a child and can walk on her own legs. Does grandmother want us to tie a rope on her and go wherever she goes?" Qu Caiyue said disdainfully, "Everything was fine until she caused us such trouble. Does it mean anything she did at the market was related to us? It's just because grandmother likes her more than us!"
"First Sister, come and have some tea with us!" Qu Qiuyan in
"What is it?" Qu Qiuyan asked."I-It's a piece of clothes and a pair of earrings..." the maid said in a low voice with scare."This is outrageous! Grandmother, I'll go to Moying's room and let her return them to Second Master Yan immediately. How... How could she do this?!" Qu Qiuyan said furiously as her face turned red.As Qu Qiuyan walked out with no hesitation, Qu Caiyue hurriedly said, "Grandmother, I'll keep an eye on Qiuyan in case they argue with each other."Then she followed the Third Lady out immediately.The Old Lady just got over with a daze and tried to stop them, but the two ladies had already left with their maids. Feeling giddier in anxiety and rage, she held Granny Wu's hand and slowly stood up, "Let's go take a look.""Madam, your body condition..." Granny Wu was worried."I'm fine. I just need to move slowly," the Old Lady said weakly while holding back the pain in her head
Something was wrong. Qu Qiuyan's eyes darkened as she was immersed in thoughts. The plan which she thought was perfect now lost its crucial evidence, making her feel unsettled. She couldn't meddle in this matter anymore, or her involvement would be exposed. But when did it go wrong?"You were just looking around? Second Sister, if you have nothing to do with it, do you dare to let Granny Wu search your room?" Qu Moying raised her eyebrow and said coldly."Why will I not dare to? If you want to take a look in my room, please help yourself, Granny Wu!" Qu Caiyue had been feeling flustered for a while. However, she lost the chance to back out and had to bite the bullet."Granny Wu, how about you take Yu Dong there to have a look? Just in case Second Sister was blaming me for something that doesn't even exist. I'll accompany Grandma," Qu Moying said to Granny Wu gently."Go take a look!" as the Old Lady talked to Granny Wu, she glared
"It's an honor to meet you, Mrs. Qu." Yan Yu bowed to her and smiled, acting like a righteous noble young master.Qu Moying pressed her lips into a straight line. She was blind enough in her past life, and she still had the same problem in this life. She couldn't believe that she even regarded a playboy like him as a dignified young master!But fortunately, she had learned not to easily let her guard down even when a person treated her kindly."Second Young Master Yan?" The Old Lady turned into her calm self already. She raised her eyes and sized up the young man in front of her."Yes, I am," Yan Yu said, beamingly. "Is there anything that I can help you with, Mrs. Qu?"After he finished the words, his eyes fell on Qu Moying. Everyone could tell he had peeked the Fourth Lady with a smile many times since he entered the yard.Qu Moying stepped forward and walked up to Yan Yu. She pointed at the clothes and
Since Yan Yu arrived, Qu Qiuyan had her head lowered all the time, feeling exasperated.She had never expected things to go this way. She couldn't figure out which part of her plan went wrong, but fortunately, she didn't say anything to help Qu Caiyue. In this way, she couldn't possibly be the one to blame.Hearing the Old Lady's words, Qu Qiuyan quickly raised her head and looked at her blankly, "Grandmother, I have no idea.""Follow me!" The Old Lady fell into silence for a second, suppressing her rage. After standing up, she added, "Yue, kneel here and take your time to think about what you did. Ying, you must be tired now. Go back to get some rest!"Before, the Old Lady freed Qu Caiyue from her kneeling punishment when other people left her yard. However, she only wished she had kept Qu Caiyue kneeling on the ground. Then Qu Caiyue wouldn't go out to make such a big scene.Knowing the Old Lady wanted to have a talk
"Where is your master?" Qu Qiuyan asked Yu Chun, looking displeased."The lady went out for a walk," Yu Chun lowered her head and responded."When did she leave?" She hadn't fully cleared the Old Lady's suspicion, so she came to visit Qu Moying to show her grandmother their good relationship. However, Qu Moying was not even in her yard! Having her effort wasted, Qu Qiuyan flew into a rage.Qu Moying should feel honored to be visited by her and be waiting for her obediently. Qu Qiuyan couldn't believe that she was given the cold shoulder by that blind girl."It was not long ago. When we arrived at the yard door, the lady didn't even enter and left immediately," Yu Chun lowered her head and said. Of course, Yu Chun was not going to tell the Third Lady that Qu Moying left because Lord Yun asked her to meet him."In which direction she went?" Qu Qiuyan still couldn't accept it."I'm sorry that I didn't see it
The clothes Qu Moying changed into had a color of light pink with embroidered peach blossom pattern on the edge of the dress and the sleeves. The piece's outer layer was made of a white veil, and a soft belt weaved by gold threads was tied on her slender waist. As she walked, the dress fluttered, showing a temperament of dignity and charm that only belonged to a young woman. Although the sizeable veiled hat almost covered her whole face, her chin was revealed sometimes when she moved. Those lips could be seen, looking soft and pink like flower petals.Her fair skin matched well with those lips, not bright but very alluring.Looking at the young woman in the mirror, Chun Xiu was amazed. She considered herself good-looking. She even thought half of Lady Liu's beauty, who was known for her appearance, came from her temperament and dressing style. However, now she was shocked to see how beautiful Fourth Lady Qu was, who was said to be ugly and blind. Compared t
"Are you sure Lady Liu is inside?" Lord Jing, Pei Yusheng, asked his servant, looking at the Buddha hall in front."Yes, Your Royal Highness. I saw Lady Liu enter this place, saying that she will stay here and pray for her father the whole night," the young eunuch said hurriedly."Let's go in," Pei Yusheng nodded.It was not his fault to see her at such a late time. He had been to the Level-One Guardian General's Mansion several times before, trying to visit her but got rejected every time. She always said that she didn't feel well and did not want to meet people because of her eye problem.Hearing that she had come to the Dabei Temple, Pei Yusheng immediately headed here to meet her.However, he didn't know Lord Yun was in the temple too until he was called over by him. Fortunately, Lady Liu was going to stay in the Buddha hall and pray for her father the whole night, which would be a good chance for him to create an
In silence, Pei Yuanjun walked to her. He pulled a chair in front of her and sat down in a domineering posture under her surprising gaze. Wearing a judgmental look, he stared at her quietly as if he could pull her down to hell without uttering any word.The atmosphere in the room couldn't be more frightening, especially on a night like this.His anger came out of nowhere, making Qu Moying confused. Was he suspecting her because he saw her face?Qu Moying clenched the other hand under her quilt. Showing no expression on her face, she asked slowly, "Is there anything I can help you with, my lord?"Pei Yuanjun sized her up. Without the veil on her face this time, he could see her watery eyes clearly, which had a trace of confusion. Still, there was no fear or panic, as if seeing him in her room was just a usual thing.The anger in his eyes gradually faded away, but his face hadn't softened yet. "How dare you?"
