Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 250 – Granny Qing’S Death

Chapter 250 Granny Qing’s Death

“What exactly happened?” Old Lady Qu pounded the table and almost stood up.

Granny Qing’s matter was already very clear. The scoundrels had testified against her. The Ji Family’s servants came over angrily to convey Old Lady Ji’s attitude that Granny Qing must be punished seriously because she dared to plot against the Masters.

The Ji Family’s servants complained angrily in front of Old Lady Qu, saying that Old Lady Ji had suffered an undeserved disaster and was inexplicably in trouble. Otherwise, it would have been Qu Moying who had been in trouble.

They asked Old Lady Qu to explain the matter to the Ji Family after investigating it.

They also said that Granny Qing should be punished immediately.

Granny Qing knelt down in the hall, shivering with a pale face. She kowtowed hard, making continuous “bang” sounds. Her forehead was red and swollen after kowtowing a few times.

With all the evidence, how could she defend herself? Even Earl Ling’an’s Mansion’s people testified against her. Although she knew the fact that Old Lady Ji fainted had nothing to do with her, it was useless to say it now. She didn’t know why Old Lady Ji insisted that she fainted because of the scoundrels.

Not only Old Lady Ji fainted, but also Concubine Xiang and the old maid. It was strange, but now there was a reason to explain it.

“Your Ladyship, please spare my life! Please spare my life!”

“Tell me, who asked you to do that?” Old Lady Qu said angrily.

She had already got enough trouble, but now, another thing had happened. Although she questioned Granny Qing, she was looking at Qu Qiuyan.

Qu Qiuyan could not sit still. She stood up, held Qing Ju’s hand and walked to Granny Qing with tears in her eyes. She scolded hatefully, “Granny Qing, ever since you came to the mansion, I have treated you well. Why did you frame Moying and me? Did we mistreat you? Who asked you to do this to me? Who let you enter our mansion?”

At the same time, she winked at Granny Qing.

She couldn’t let Granny Qing give her away, so she had to stand up now. She was the one who brought Granny Qing up the mountain, and Granny Qing was her old maid. No matter what, Qu Qiuyan couldn’t deny her responsibility.

Qu Moying sneered in her heart. Qu Qiuyan had a glib tongue. She was originally a suspect, but she now portrayed herself as a victim.

Granny Qing looked up at Qu Qiuyan. Her lips trembled a few times, and then she looked at Old Lady Qu. “Your Ladyship, I… I acted on my own. I wanted to help Third Lady vent her anger… That’s why I thought of such a way to scare Fourth Lady. I didn’t really mean to harm Fourth Lady. It’s all my fault.”

Granny Qing actually took all the blame. Qu Moying turned to look at Granny Qing with interest, thinking, “This old maid is no ordinary. She actually dared to say such words at this time. Although she tried to keep the matter under control, as a servant, how could she keep it under control? How could she be so powerful?”

Qu Moying leaned back and swallowed the words she wanted to say. She wanted to see how this matter would end or how it would be dealt with.

Originally, it was just the inner yard’s dispute. But after seeing Granny Qing’s reaction, Qu Moying thought that it was more than that. She thought Granny Qing’s real master might not be Qu Qiuyan but somebody else, because Granny Qing was too capable and Qu Qiuyan was not able to have such a servant under her control.

Qu Qiuyan was overjoyed after hearing Granny Qing’s words. Then, she covered her face and cried as she complained, “Grandmother, you see, this matter has nothing to do with me. This old maid did it herself. It has nothing to do with me. I don’t know anything about this matter either. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been suspected like this.”

“Are you still not telling the truth?” Old Lady Qu was furious. She couldn’t believe Granny Qing’s words, yet Qu Qiuyan used them to defend herself.

“Your Ladyship, I really did it on my own. It’s true.” Granny Qing gritted her teeth and said.

“Pull her down and beat her until she says who is behind all this.” Old Lady Qu became angry and said harshly.

Two rough old maids came over and pulled Granny Qing down.

“Grandmother, you can also ask that scoundrel with the surname Qian. I heard that this scoundrel was the one who connected with her. If we investigate this scoundrel, there might be a result.”

Qu Moying gently reminded Old Lady Qu.

Hearing Qu Moying’s words, Old Lady Qu nodded and said, “Yes, that scoundrel…”

“Your Ladyship, I am really wrong. I went to find someone to scare Fourth Lady on an impulse… Your Ladyship, I will apologize with my life.”

Suddenly, Granny Qing jumped up, pushed away the two maids who were pulling her, and banged against the only pillar in the room with her head.

No one had expected that she would kill herself. They only watched helplessly as she banged against the pillar. Blood immediately flowed down from her head. She slowly fell down with her eyes wide open.

Qu Qiuyan stood right next to Granny Qing. Not only were her clothes stained with Granny Qing’s blood, but also her face was stained with blood. Seeing Granny Qing fall, she wiped her face and saw a large amount of blood on her hand. She screamed in fear and took a few steps back. She fell to the ground and moved further away from Granny Qing. Then, her eyes rolled up and she fainted.

She had always been vicious and casually ordered others to kill people, but she had never seen someone die directly in front of her, and the person’s blood even splashed on her.

The room suddenly became strangely quiet. Old Lady Qu was experienced, so she quickly calmed herself down and said harshly, “Pull her down.”

Two old maids came over gingerly and pulled Granny Qing out of the room. Other old maids came to clean up the room.

Qu Qiuyan was also helped up.

“Grandmother, don’t be angry. She did this because she knew she would die anyway.” Seeing that Old Lady Qu was so angry, Qu Moying gently cooled her down.

If Granny Qing took all the blame, she would definitely die in the end. Even if she gave Qu Qiuyan away, she would still be severely punished. She would be badly beaten and then kicked out of Qu Mansion.

However, she directly killed herself, which was not something that ordinary servants dared to do.

“How… how dare she do this…” Old Lady Qu was also frightened. Although she did not lose her composure like Qu Qiuyan, she was so angry that her vision dimmed, and she felt dizzy.

Qu Moying supported Old Lady Qu and found that her palm was cold. She hurriedly covered it with her hand and comforted Old Lady Qu, “Grandmother, don’t worry. Since we have investigated to this point, let’s investigate Granny Qing’s background. She didn’t seem to be an ordinary servant because she dared to do this.”

Qu Moying saw it clearly that Granny Qing didn’t want to die at first, but her expression changed when Qu Moying mentioned investigating that scoundrel surnamed Qian. Then, she decisively banged her head against the pillar. It seemed that she was protecting the scoundrel surnamed Qian.

“That’s interesting. Is the scoundrel surnamed Qian related to Granny Qing that she would rather die to protect him?” Qu Moying thought.

“Okay! We must investigate it thoroughly.” Old Lady Qu gritted her teeth and said.

Qu Qiuyan slowly woke up and looked at Old Lady Qu while crying. “Grandmother, Grandmother, I really didn’t know that she would do such a thing. I also don’t understand why she killed herself. I… I used to think that she was a clever person, but she… actually did such a thing. I… I am so scared. Grandmother, I am scared.”

There was still blood on Qu Qiuyan’s face, not only on her face but also on her hands. She was really frightened this time. Tears fell down her face, but the tears that fell were red. Thinking of the scene in which blood splashed everywhere and even splashed on her body when Granny Qing banged into the pillar just now, Qu Qiuyan trembled, and her eyes widened in fear.

Qing Ju, who was supporting her, was also trembling. Granny Qing was still alive not long ago, but she suddenly died in front of them in such a tragic way. The scariest thing was that Granny Qing’s blood splashed on their bodies. Qu Qiuyan and Qing Ju were really frightened. They were as pale as dead people.

“Someone, help Third Lady down to rest.” Qu Moying glanced at Qu Qiuyan indifferently and ordered.

Old Lady Qu waved her hand with a gloomy face. An old maid came over, and she and Qing Ju helped Qu Qiuyan leave. Qu Qiuyan’s legs were so weak that she could hardly move. Later, another old maid took over Qing Ju’s position to support Qu Qiuyan. They almost carried Qu Qiuyan away.

Old Lady Qu was furious as she watched Qu Qiuyan leave. It was obvious that Qu Qiuyan had played a part in the matter. The words of the passers-by reported by the Ji Family’s servants indicated that the person behind Granny Qing was Qu Qiuyan. Otherwise, Qu Qiuyan would not have asked Qu Moying in front of everyone in a complacent manner at that time.

Old Lady Qu was really disappointed with Qu Qiuyan. She originally thought that Qu Qiuyan was good and was just misled by Yu. Now she realized that Qu Qiuyan had turned bad long ago and was just like Yu.

Qu Qiuyan was vicious and incompetent!

However, Qu Qiuyan was her granddaughter. She could not treat her like how she treated Yu. After all, her second son still doted on Qu Qiuyan.

Old Lady Qu knew that the main reason was Lord Jing, but was Lord Jing really reliable? She increasingly felt that Lord Jing was not good, but was Qu Qiuyan a good person?

Holding Qu Moying’s hand, Old Lady Qu tried to force a smile to comfort her. Qu Moying almost got into trouble again this time. Old Lady Qu felt very guilty, and her smile looked bitter.

She had given up on making Qu Qiuyan and Qu Moying reconcile. She didn’t care whether or not Mingcheng was willing to support Qu Moying in the future anymore, but she decided to arrange a good marriage for Qu Moying because Qu Moying deserved something better. As long as Qu Moying’s future husband’s family pitied and loved her, it would not matter if her parents’ family didn’t like her.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Qu had already made a decision in her heart. She had to quickly arrange a good marriage for Qu Moying. She decided to choose a husband for Qu Moying from the few juniors that she trusted. She would not let Qu Moying suffer anymore.

Qu Moying didn’t know that Old Lady Qu had made up her mind to pick a reliable husband for her because of this matter. Old Lady Qu thought the one for Qu Moying didn’t need to be rich, but he should be good to Qu Moying…
