Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 215 – The Guqin Specifically Given To Mother

Chapter 215 The Guqin Specifically Given to Mother

Lord Yun was wearing a light-colored brocade robe that was a little different from his usual style. Only the beautiful iris flowers at the collar, the bottom of the sleeves, and the edge of the circle looked dazzling to the eyes. Combined with his handsome and charming eyes, it was impossible for him not to attract attention.

He looked extremely handsome as if he was really a son of a rich family, elegant and peerless, quite unlike the gloomy and sinister person he used to be.

Behind him, Ji Hai bowed to Qu Moying with a smile and retreated to the side. There were four guards standing at the side.

However, such a narrow alley was actually extremely incompatible with the identity of this Lord!

“Greetings, my Lord,” Qu Moying said in a natural and graceful manner. She thought to herself that it was such a coincidence. Lord Yun should be just coming out of the alley and did not expect that she would hide in this place and thus he bumped into her.

“How is it?” Pei Yuanjun pointed outside, his thin lips curling up as he asked.

Qu Moying knew that he was referring to the scene just now, so she did not play dumb. “What does my Lord intend to do?”

If this matter had nothing to do with her, she would naturally not ask. However, she was the one who pretended to be Miss Liu in the first place. This might have something to do with her, so she naturally had to be clear about Lord Yun’s opinion on this issue.

“It’s not about what I intend to do. It’s about Lord Jing who has fallen in love.” Pei Yuanjun elegantly put down his hand and flicked the non-existent dust off his sleeves.

“So what?” Qu Moying raised her head in confusion. Now that the two of them got closer, only then did she realize that Pei Yuanjun was too tall. If she wanted to talk to him, she had to raise her head.

“Of course, it’s good. The strong works with the strong,” Pei Yuanjun said with a smile. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Qu Moying was speechless. Lord Yun really seemed to be talking about marriage. Could it be that he really cared about Lady Liu and Lord Jing?

If this was the case, this Lady Liu really suffered a great loss. She had clearly never seen Lord Jing before, and she did not know if she was compatible with Lord Jing.

“Lord Jing’s previous behavior… was not like this,” Qu Moying pondered for a moment and said. She had a feeling that Pei Yuanjun was referring to something else. Something was faintly lit up in her heart, but it was not clear.

“The situation has changed. Minister Liu’s House used to have a favorite opinion of Lord Jing, but now they might have to reconsider the issue. Pei Yusheng is not a decent guy, and after that incident, others will look down on him even more.” Pei Yuanjun glanced at Qu Moying and said with a smile.

Qu Moying was shocked. She raised her head in surprise and asked almost anxiously, “Which family did County Lady Jingyu take a fancy to?”

“Why? Why are you so concerned about her?” Pei Yuanjun asked with a smile. For some reason, Qu Moying sensed a dark and gloomy aura. She hurriedly lowered her head. “I just feel that if it wasn’t Lord Jing, could it be Crown Prince? But… but my cousin just passed away. Could it be that Crown Prince wants to…”

She didn’t hide her feelings. Instead, she said what she thought directly. For some reason, she felt that this Pei Yuanjun in front of her was a little dangerous.

“Your cousin?” Pei Yuanjun curled his lips, “At that time, the union between the two families was like that of Lord Jing and the Guardian General’s mansion. It might even be a little more secure.” Pei Yuanjun lazily narrowed his eyes, his delicate eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a hint of evil charm that looked inadvertently enchanting.

The iris flowers on his collar reflected his delicate skin color more and more, making his lips seem to be painted with vermilion.

Qu Moying tightly pursed her lips, and her heart seemed to have been heavily hit by something. A chill surged in her eyes, and she raised her eyes to look at Pei Yuanjun again. “Your Highness is saying… that the cause… the cause of my cousin’s death is not the same as described by the rumors outside?”

Her words were hesitant, and her heart beat wildly. She felt as if something had jumped out of her chest, making her almost unable to control her feeling. Did Pei Yuanjun know something? Did Pei Yuanjun notice something?

Few people in the world knew the cause of Ji Hanyue’s death, but what about Pei Yuanjun? At that time, he was not in the capital. Did he really know something?

“I just think that’s how it looks like.” Pei Yuanjun said leisurely, his dark red lips curling up.

Qu Moying forcefully suppressed the shock in her heart and tried to calm herself down. Under the eye veil, tears welled up in her eyes. It was impossible for Pei Yuanjun to know anything. He would not know.

Even if Lord Yun could interfere in many things, it was Crown Prince’s Mansion. Impossible, impossible…

“Don’t worry, just keep an eye on Pei Yusheng!” Pei Yuanjun said meaningfully.

Qu Moying bit her lips and forced herself to calm down. “My Lord, why did you come out at this time?”

Originally, she did not care about the matter of Pei Yusheng, but now she inexplicably cared about the matter of Pei Yusheng and Liu Lanxin. Was the issue really like what she thought?

If her guess was really correct, then she should pay more attention to the matter of Pei Yusheng and Liu Lanxin. Could it be that there was really another secret behind her death in her last life?

Her heart was beating wildly, and she almost felt her heart was jumping out, but her face did not show any difference.

“I don’t have anything else to do. I just came here to see a mistress,” Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.

Qu Moying looked at the alley behind her for confirmation. This place really looked like a place where a mistress lived. However, did Pei Yuanjun’s mistress need to live in such a place? And did he even need a mistress? Didn’t he use her as a shield before?

Sensing that Pei Yuanjun was looking at her, Qu Moying smiled and sincerely said, “My Lord, the place that you arranged for your mistress is really not very good. Can’t you arrange a better place for her to live?”

Since Pei Yuanjun said that it was a mistress, then she should believe him.

If the dignified Lord Yun, who had so much power and did not have a Princess Consort in the mansion, wanted to raise a woman in the mansion, did he need to keep such a low profile?

“It is indeed not very good. I will settle it when I find a good one.” Pei Yuanjun looked at Qu Moying’s serious face and suddenly smiled. He reached out and pressed on the top of Qu Moying’s hair, causing her hairpin to tilt. Her hair became a little loose and messy.

Seeing Qu Moying standing there blankly with her messy hair and she looked like she had been frightened, Pei Yuanjun was in a good mood. He said, “In a few days, you still have to see Pei Yusheng.” Then, he swaggered away with his men.

Qu Moying blinked her eyes twice before she regained her composure. The person who had deliberately messed up her hair was really Lord Yun.

“My lady, let’s go back too!” Yu Chun finally dared to speak.

In front of Pei Yuanjun, she did not dare to breathe loudly. In fact, it was because she was timid. Even in the case of those officials with astonishing courage, who dared to speak casually in front of Pei Yuanjun?

Qu Moying nodded, turned around, and walked out of the alley.

They got on the carriage, and the carriage went back to the mansion. After getting off the carriage, she first went to tell the Old Lady that she was safe, and then she went back to Qianyue House with her maid.

After freshening up again, Qu Moying sat down in front of the bed by the window and took out the score she had bought today to read. When she was choosing books in the bookstore, there were a few books that were very rare. In the past, she had never seen them. She did not expect to see them all at once today. She was so happy to find those treasures that she carefully read them, and she even wrote something on a page.

But in the end, she still put down the writing brush and did not try to complete the music score. Even if she did, she still felt dissatisfied, so now, she still lacked a guqin.

She asked Yu Chun to call Granny Zhou over.

“Granny Zhou, does my mother have any guqin?” Qu Moying put down the book in her hand and asked.

“Well… Let me think about it,” Granny Zhou said. After a moment of thinking, her eyes suddenly lit up. “Yes, there is a guqin. It was around when Madam married over, but…”

“What’s wrong? Is it not around now?” Qu Moying said indifferently. Most of Mother’s things had now fallen into Yu’s hands. She was not surprised that the guqin was not here. She could almost get Yu to spit out everything any time, so she was not in a hurry to ask for them back right now.

Even if the guqin was really missing, she could find another one.

“Yes, it should still be here. The guqin doesn’t look like anything special. Unless one had played it with one’s own hands, one really wouldn’t have known that it was an excellent guqin. This guqin was found by the old master back in the South, and he especially gave it to Madam. At that time, the one who liked the guqin was not Madam, but the old master gave it to her.”

“After that, Madam wanted to give the guqin to Yue, but the old master didn’t agree. He said that someone specifically wanted to give the guqin to Madam. Even if Madam didn’t like it, she had to take it. Moreover, it would be her dowry in the future. Madam had no choice but to bring it over as her dowry. When she was living in Yue Mansion, she had never played it. When she married into Qu Mansion, she laid the guqin aside and neglected it. Because the guqin looked unremarkable, it was hard to notice it. But the guqin was actually very good.”

Granny Zhou said with a serious face.

“How do you know it is good?” Qu Moying asked in surprise.

“I heard it from Old Lady Yue. She told Madam this, but Madam never cared. I thought that since Old Lady Yue said so, it must be good. My Lady, if you need it, I will go and look for it now,” Granny Zhou said. When Old Lady Yue was young, she was a famous talented woman in the South. Naturally, she would not be wrong.

Granny Zhou believed this without a doubt. However, Madam really did not like it, so she could only carefully put it away. Granny Zhou remembered that it was she who put it away at that time and it was put in an inconspicuous music instrument container.

“Okay, Granny, please go find it.” Qu Moying nodded. She was extremely fond of guqin. Similarly, Ji Hanyue’s biological mother, Yue, also liked the guqin. When it came to her, it was even more so. However, it was a little strange. Both of them are Grandfather’s daughters, but why did Grandfather give the guqin he found to Mother, who didn’t love guqin, and even said that someone had gifted it to her?

Did this mean that someone had specifically given it to her?

Qu Moying wondered who had given this guqin to Mother. Moreover, at that time, Mother should be young. It must have been someone of a generation older who had given it to Mother, but he didn’t give it to Ji Hanyue’s mother who loved guqin. It was a very strange thing done by a strange person.

Granny Zhou came back quite quickly. She brought a guqin with her. After wiping it clean, she passed the guqin to Qu Moying.
