Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 291 – She Didn’T Deserve The Marriage

Chapter 291 She Didn’t Deserve the Marriage

“Qiuyan, you can go out for a walk. Don’t keep it all to yourself. If there’s anything, talk it out with us.” Qu Xuexin was persuading Qu Qiuyan.

“Thank you, Eldest Sister.” Qu Qiuyan lowered her head with a dejected face.

“You… You two… Alas…” Qu Xuexin looked at Qu Moying and then at Qu Qiuyan, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Neither of them responded to Qu Xuexin’s words. Qu Qiuyan still kept her head down, and Qu Moying looked at the embroidery on the handkerchief in her hand. Both of them were absent-minded.

The room quieted down. For a moment, no one said anything.

Suddenly, Qu Qiuyan raised her head and looked at Qu Moying angrily. “Qu Moying, tell me, did you cause my mother’s miscarriage?”

Qu Moying raised her head and sneered. “Who said that?”

Qu Qiuyan glared at Qu Moying. “My mother said it.”

Qu Moying raised her eyebrows and looked at Qu Qiuyan calmly. “Do you think it is credible? What exactly do you mean?”

Hearing this, Qu Qiuyan blushed from anger and said angrily, “My mother said you are here to plot against her. You’ve plotted against her once, and this is the second time.”

Her words implicated a lot. She seemed to be angry, but her eyes were looking sideways. Obviously, she didn’t dare to look at Qu Moying. Qu Moying understood what she meant. Qu Qiuyan was pushing all the blame on Yu. She implied that she dealt with Qu Moying because of Yu’s instigation, hence passing the buck on Yu.

“It’s none of my business. Father and grandmother will have their judgment for madam.” Qu Moying stood up and said coldly. She did not come here to reconcile with Qu Qiuyan, nor would she listen to Qu Qiuyan’s vague explanation. “Eldest Sister, are you leaving? If you are not leaving, I will leave first!”

Qu Qiuyan bit her lips but did not say anything.

“Moying, you may go back first. I will stay and persuade Qiuyan. You two… are both the daughters of Second Uncle, and you are both wife-born daughters. There is no need to be like this!”

Qu Xuexin said softly. Her words were tactful, and it was very easy for her to get a favorable impression.

Qu Moying nodded at her casually and turned to leave. Behind her, Qu Qiuyan pressed her hand against the table, her eyes filled with hatred.

Seeing Qu Moying leave, Qu Xuexin comforted Qu Qiuyan again, “Qiuyan, don’t be angry. That’s how Moying is.”

Qu Qiuyan slowly restrained her anger, and she forcefully pressed the table. She looked at Qu Xuexin and said impolitely, “Eldest Sister, you can also leave.”

She had always looked down on Qu Xuexin. She only chatted happily with Qu Xuexin just now because Qu Moving was here, and she wanted to make Qu Moying feel lonely.

“Qiuyan, it was second younger brother who asked me to come over and persuade you today.” Qu Xuexin said softly, as gentle and tolerant as ever.

“Why did my elder brother ask you to come?” Qu Qiuyan asked rudely. She recalled her elder brother’s words. He asked her to make up with Qu Moying, but she did not really take all of his words to heart.

It was almost impossible for her to reconcile with Qu Moying.

Qu Xuexin continued, “Of course it is because he wants you to reconcile with Moying. He feels awkward to see you two like this. You are his younger sister, and so is Moying.”

“What? She is not! I am his only younger sister. I share the same mother with him. No one is closer to him than me.”

Qu Qiuyan said coldly, almost losing control of her temper. She thought Qu Moying was nothing, and if her mother had succeeded back then, Qu Moying wouldn’t even have existed.

Qu Xuexin said with a smile, “The relationship between you and second younger brother is naturally the closest, but Moying is also Second Uncle’s wife-born daughter. It is not good for the two of you to end up like this. Someone has proposed to Moying.”

“Huh? Which family wants her?” Qu Qiuyan curled her lips in disdain. She didn’t expect anyone to want to marry Qu Moying, who she thought was neither beautiful nor talented.

“The other party is He Mansion’s third young master. He is Lord Jing’s cousin.” Qu Xuexin smiled warmly.

“He Mansion? Noble Consort He’s family?” Qu Qiuyan was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect this. “How… How is this possible? How could Qu Moying marry into such a family?”

Qu Qiuyan naturally knew Third Young Master He. Lord Jing had mentioned him more than once. He repeatedly said that Third Young Master He was the most outstanding of all his cousins and that when Third Young Master He became an official, he would let him be his right-hand man. Why would such a person ask to marry Qu Moying?

“I heard that Madam Li is the matchmaker. She said that Third Young Master He thinks that Moying is good. The day before yesterday, he came to see her and seemed to be very satisfied.”

Qu Xuexin continued, “If Moying really marries Third Young Master He, you two will be closely connected. So, you can’t lose your temper with her now. Both of you should give in, just for the future.”

“How could she marry Third Young Master He? Does she deserve that?” Qu Qiuyan sneered, but her heart skipped a beat. She was sure that if Qu Moying really married Third Young Master He, she might have to beg for Qu Moying’s forgiveness since Lord Jing valued Third Young Master He so much.

This was the thing that Qu Qiuyan could not accept the most. She could pass the buck to Yu in front of Qu Moying, but she was unwilling to take the initiative to make up with Qu Moying. She thought Qu Moying was neither good-looking nor talented, and she didn’t want to give in to such a person.

Qu Moying didn’t deserve it.

Qu Qiuyan didn’t want to let Qu Moying marry Third Young Master He. She rolled her eyes and said, “Eldest Sister, did you see Third Young Master He?”

Since Old Lady Qu loved Qu Moying dearly, she would definitely let Qu Moying go to take a look at Third Young Master He. The only person who could accompany Qu Moying was Qu Xuexin.

Although Qu Qiuyan looked down on Qu Xuexin because she always wore a bitter face and couldn’t even secure her engagement, Qu Qiuyan still thought that Qu Xuexin was better than Qu Moying.

For so many years, Qu Qiuyan had maintained a dominant position over Qu Xuexin.

“Yes. He is handsome, and he looks talented. He is gentle to others.” When Qu Xuexin mentioned Third Young Master He, she lowered her head shyly and blushed.

Looking at her infatuated look, Qu Qiuyan immediately understood. She sneered in her heart, thinking that Qu Xuexin was kind and gentle only on the surface and was not really kind because she clearly had feelings for her younger sister’s future husband.

“Eldest Sister, I think you are the only one in this mansion who is worthy of Third Young Master He.” With no outsiders around, Qu Qiuyan said frankly. Since she was able to win Lord Jing’s fancy, she was clearly not stupid.

Qu Xuexin’s face turned even redder as she pouted, “Qiuyan, what are you talking about?”

“Eldest Sister, I really think so. If you marry into He Mansion, we can always have a chat. Moreover, with me around, you won’t suffer a loss, and He Mansion won’t dare to treat you unfairly. Even if uncle doesn’t have a high official position, Third Young Master He wouldn’t dare to mistreat you after he prospers.”

Qu Qiuyan asked with a teasing smile, “Shall I write a letter to Lord Jing and ask him to help you?”

“Qiuyan.” Qu Xuexin became more and more bashful, unable to lift her face.

“Eldest Sister, it’s settled then. Since I already know about this matter, I won’t let Qu Moying have her way. You are the one who deserves the most to marry into He Mansion, and you should be the one to marry into He Mansion. Grandmother and my father are partial to her. But if He Mansion changes the idea, father and grandmother have to agree.”

Qu Qiuyan said with certainty. She was going to take over the thing.

To her, it really wasn’t a big deal. Even if Qu Xuexin was mediocre, she was better than a blind like Qu Moying. No one would want to marry a blind. Marrying Qu Xuexin was clearly a better choice. Moreover, since she tried to make it happen, He Mansion would definitely take this into consideration.

“Qiuyan, let’s stop here.” Hearing Qu Qiuyan’s words, Qu Xuexin was so shy that she couldn’t stay any longer. She stood up and turned to leave bashfully.

Although she did not say a word, her meaning was very clear. She agreed to let Qu Qiuyan help her get the marriage.

As long as He Mansion agreed to take her, she would definitely agree.

Both of them had their own thoughts. They both felt that the bride of this marriage would change. Qu Qiuyan didn’t want Qu Moying to end up well. She thought Third Young Master He was a good person, so she would try her best to mess the thing up and would rather speak up for Qu Xuexin.

Qu Qiuyan thought it was not difficult. After Qu Xuexin left, she asked her maids to prepare ink and brush for her to write a letter.

She had been writing letters to Lord Jing because of boredom. Now that she had something to do, she would definitely write more.

Qu Xuexin walked back with her maid. After walking for a while, a complacent smile appeared on her face.

The people in the mansion only knew West Mansion’s two ladies, but they seemed to forget that she was the eldest wife-born daughter in Qu Mansion, the most respected wife-born daughter.

However, because her father’s position was not as high as her Second Uncle’s, East Mansion was inferior to West Mansion. As a result, she was not as respected as Qu Qiuyan, and now she was going to be outdone by Qu Moying, who had been abandoned since childhood.

How could she not be resentful?

Only after the eldest daughter got married could the younger daughters get engaged. However, things were different in her mansion, which made her a laughingstock. She was the eldest daughter, but before she was engaged, Qu Caiyue had already married, and Qu Qiuyan had been engaged to Lord Jing. As for Qu Moying, she could also have such a good marriage.

Qu Xuexin thought, “Why don’t they make me a good match? Since they don’t care about me, I will care about myself!”

Seeing her stand still, the maid also stood still. “Miss, should we go back now?”

“Let’s go back first.” Qu Xuexin looked behind her thoughtfully. Qu Qiuyan thought she was very smart, but Qu Xuexin was confident that she was not inferior to Qu Qiuyan.

She thought she killed two birds with one stone through this play. Not only had she completed the task that her second younger brother had instructed her to do, but she had also attained her own aim. She believed she was going to marry into He Mansion. Both Third Young Master He and Qu Qiuyan wanted her to marry into He Mansion, and this marriage is sure to be hers.

She felt relieved. Her smile was as gentle as usual. She met a few maids and old maids on her way, and they all whispered to each other when they saw her walking by. They said that she was the best among the young ladies in the mansion, and she was gentle to the servants.
