Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 261 – Vicious Hai Lan And Yu

Chapter 261 Vicious Hai Lan and Yu

Granny Wu came in with a panicked expression.

“What’s the matter?” The Old Lady asked.

“Something happened to Madam. She needs a doctor.” Granny Wu said anxiously. She looked at Qu Moying at the side and decided not to report in detail.

However, the Old Lady understood, and her expression changed slightly. “Have you sent for a doctor?”

“I have already sent for a doctor. Your Ladyship, do you want to go take a look?” Granny Wu asked. No matter how bad Yu was, she was still Old Lady Qu’s daughter-in-law and the madam of Qu Mansion.

“I’ll go take a look.” The Old Lady stood up after thinking for a while. “Is Zhizhen in the mansion?”

“I’ve already sent someone to wait at the mansion’s door. If Second Master comes back, he will be informed immediately.” Granny Wu said. She had served the Old Lady for many years, and she was experienced and prudent. She had arranged everything well before coming to the Old Lady.

Knowing that Qu Zhizhen was not in the mansion, the Old Lady felt more obliged to visit Yu.

“Grandmother, should I go?” Qu Moying also stood up and asked softly.

“You’d better not go. It’s not a big deal.” The Old Lady didn’t want Qu Moying to go over.

“But…” Qu Moying still wanted to say something but was stopped by the Old Lady.

Seeing that the Old Lady insisted, Qu Moying did not say anything more. After following the Old Lady to the door and watching the Old Lady leave, she returned to her yard.

Qingyu Garden was in a mess, but there was nothing serious. After the doctor left, Yu cried loudly on the bed.

“Mother, mother, please uphold justice for me.” She cried and said to the Old Lady, who was sitting opposite the bed.

“What’s the matter?” The Old Lady said impatiently.

Although Yu didn’t have a miscarriage, she must abort her child. If she gave birth to a mentally retarded child, it would be better not to have it at all. Yu had taken so much strong medicine before, so the child couldn’t be fine. The Old Lady had asked several doctors before, and they all said that the child would be abnormal.

Yu brought this to herself. If she hadn’t schemed against Qu Moying back then, these things might not have happened. It was a convincing example of retribution for sin, and Yu had only herself to blame. She didn’t even know that she was pregnant and therefore drank those strong medicines.

It seemed that she wanted to cause trouble at this point. Looking at her, the Old Lady felt annoyed.

Although Yu didn’t have a miscarriage, the Old Lady was not happy at all. She thought it was better for Yu to lose the child, which could save the effort to abort it in the future.

“Your Ladyship… Your Ladyship… The prescription was given by the Fourth Lady… It was the Fourth Lady who gave Madam the prescription. Madam took it and looked at it for a while, and she ended up like this.”

Hai Lan also cried loudly and knelt on the ground, complaining tearfully for Yu.

“What exactly happened?” The Old Lady asked coldly.

Hai Lan took out a prescription from her pocket, which was stained with oil, and handed it over. “Your Ladyship, please smell it. Please let someone smell it. There is a smell on it. This prescription almost caused Madam to miscarry.”

Hai Lan was surprised to see that the child in Yu’s belly was alright. She continued to act according to the instructions given by Yu.

Granny Wu took a step forward, received the prescription, looked at it and handed it to the Old Lady. The prescription had a strong smell of the soup, and it gave off an unpleasant smell at this time.

“This is the prescription Her Ladyship gave the Fourth Lady.” Granny Wu said with certainty. She kept many things for the Old Lady before, and this prescription was given to Qu Moying by her, so she naturally recognized it.

“What’s wrong with this prescription? Did she feel unwell after taking something made according to it?” The Old Lady asked coldly. Looking at Yu, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

Yu could have a healthy child, but she ruined it because of her own doing, yet she still tried to make trouble. Thinking of this, the Old Lady was really angry.

“Your Ladyship, it’s not that there’s something wrong with the prescription, but something was smeared on the prescription. When Madam took it and checked it carefully, she breathed in a lot of the powder.”

As Hai Lan spoke, Yu also cried on the bed. Her face was extremely pale. She held her belly carefully as if she was holding the most precious thing in the world.

No one would have thought that the medicine that was harmful to the fetus was smeared by herself.

Even a beast would never eat its own child. However, Yu had utilized the child in her belly again and again. Last time, she used it to drive Yue away, and now she was using it to deal with Qu Moying.

Yu thought that even if the Old Lady did not like her, the Old Lady would not ignore her for the sake of the child in her belly. She was sure that the Old Lady would not let someone hurt the child in her belly, even if the person was Qu Moying!

Even though Yu did such a thing, the child in her belly was still alright. It must be a considerate child. How could Yu not treasure it?

“What is on the prescription? It’s so greasy. How could it be like this? Was it also Ying who got someone to do it?” The Old Lady frowned and said coldly.

“Someone serving the Fourth Lady bumped into me and spilled the soup on the prescription at the kitchen door, so the prescription became greasy. But just now, Madam asked the doctor to take a look at the prescription. The doctor said that there was some medicinal powder on the prescription that could make people miscarry. This prescription was given by the Fourth Lady.”

“Even if Ying gave it to her, how did she know that Yu was pregnant?” The Old Lady became even more displeased. The child in Yu’s belly was supposed to be aborted, but Yu was still using this child to make a fuss, which was really annoying.

“Mother, the Fourth Lady knows. I have asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of food in the past few days, and there was some sour food sometimes. The Fourth Lady is definitely able to guess it.” Yu felt wronged and cried while holding her belly, looking extremely pitiful.

Back then, she wanted to inform Qu Moying of her pregnancy through Qu Qiuyan. However, Qu Qiuyan did not give any response, and Yu didn’t have the opportunity to hint at it in front of Qu Moying. Otherwise, this scheme would be even more perfect.

Anyway, she almost had a miscarriage because of Qu Moying. She believed both the Old Lady and Qu Zhizhen would stand on her side.

After all, the prescription was indeed borrowed from Qu Moying.

“Ying doesn’t know you are pregnant.” The longer Old Lady listened, the more annoyed she became. Seeing that Yu was fine, the Old Lady stood up and turned to leave. She thought it was better to let Qu Zhizhen deal with this matter. As for their accusations against Qu Moying, she did not believe them at all. Qu Qiuyan had just framed Qu Moying, and now Yu also targeted Qu Moying.

Having witnessed the fact that Qu Qiuyan framed Qu Moying again and again, the Old Lady felt that Yu’s words were even more nonsensical.

The Old Lady had already felt guilty towards Qu Moying, and now she didn’t even want to continue talking with Yu.

She ignored Yu and Hai Lan’s complaints and didn’t even ask if the child in her belly was well.

Things were completely different from what Yu and Hai Lan had imagined. They were both stunned.

Hai Lan reacted quickly and suddenly stood up. She cried and rushed out, “Your Ladyship! Your Ladyship, please help Madam!”

Just as she reached the door, she saw Qu Zhizhen standing at the door with a gloomy face. She was stunned for a moment and hurriedly knelt down, “Master, please go and see Madam. She almost had an accident. Fortunately, the baby is still alright. Master, please protect Madam!”

As she spoke, she moved her knees to make way.

Qu Zhizhen paid the most attention to his children. When he knew that Yu was pregnant, he provided Yu with good food even though Yu was still locked up. He even freed Hai Lan and let her get whatever Yu needed. He also sent some good things over to Yu from time to time.

Hai Lan believed that Qu Zhizhen would definitely punish Qu Moying if he knew that Yu almost had a miscarriage.

The Old Lady had always been partial to Qu Moying, but Qu Zhizhen was not like the Old Lady…

Qu Zhizhen strode into the door. As soon as he came back, the one Granny Wu sent to wait for him told him that something had happened to Yu and asked him to come over quickly.

When he came into the yard, he saw the Old Lady coming out with a cold face. After seeing him, the Old Lady said, “Take a good look at Yu. Don’t allow her to keep thinking about making trouble.”

When he entered the room, he saw Yu holding her belly with a pale face and red eyes.

“My lord, our child… our child, almost gone.” When Yu saw Qu Zhizhen walking to the bed, she was overjoyed. She hurriedly hugged Qu Zhizhen and heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Just like Hai Lan, Yu also thought the Old Lady was partial to Qu Moying.

The evidence was conclusive, so why couldn’t she convict Qu Moying?

Since she got the prescription from Qu Moying and she almost had a miscarriage, Qu Moying could not get away from this. Moreover, the medicinal powder that could lead to miscarriage was not special. Any doctor could tell what it was used for. She did smell so much that she almost had a miscarriage.

Qu Zhizhen did not respond to her hug. He coldly looked at her and asked, “What are you trying to do now?” There was not a single trace of pity but only coldness and anger in his eyes.

He had long given up on the child in Yu’s belly. In addition, he, as the Vice Minister of Work, had been questioned recently because the assassins had not been found yet, so he was very annoyed.

If he hadn’t been busy in the past few days, he would have already let Yu abort the child. If so, such a thing would not have happened today.

“Master… It was the Fourth Lady… It was the Fourth Lady who wanted to harm Madam. The doctor said that the medicinal powder on the prescription that the Fourth Lady gave Madam could make Madam miscarry if Madam smelt it. The Fourth Lady wanted to destroy the evidence and she sent someone to bump into me, trying to destroy the evidence.” Hai Lan spoke for Yu, crying.

Yu and Hai Lan had been cooperating for many years. Their performance was almost perfect.

Nobody could get away from such a situation. Although Yu and Hai Lan were crying, they were laughing inside. Yue was driven out of Qu Mansion because of a similar play before, and now it was Qu Moying’s turn.

“She gave you the prescription and let the maid bump into you to destroy the evidence. Are you pregnant?” Qu Zhizhen said coldly.

Both Yu and Hai Lan were stunned by this question. Yu hurriedly said, “My lord, I am pregnant!”

“What does your pregnancy have to do with the prescription Ying gave to the maid? Did you have to check the prescription yourself and smell it before letting the cook make the dish for you? It is the servants’ business. Why did you have to do it yourself?” Qu Zhizhen’s cold gaze landed on Yu’s face.

Yu was still so stupid after so many years, and she seemed to think that Qu Zhizhen was also a blockhead.
