Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 303 – Why Did Liu Jingyu Hate Her?

Chapter 303 Why Did Liu Jingyu Hate Her?

Mrs. He was puzzled, so she decided to meet Mrs. Liu, her smart and distant cousin sister.

However, Mrs. He did not see Mrs. Liu. An old maid said to Mrs. He with a sad face, “Mrs. He, our madam is not feeling well. She just took medicine and is resting now. Our master is watching over her. It’s inconvenient for her to see you.”

Mrs. He asked, “What’s wrong with my cousin sister?”

The old maid replied, “I don’t know. She could neither eat nor sleep. Mrs. He, if you have anything, please tell me first. I will report it to our madam when she wakes up.”

“If she wakes up, please let her save my son. My son was arrested by West Prison’s people.” Thinking of her son, Mrs. He felt heartache and couldn’t help but cry again.

The old maid hurriedly advised, “Third Young Master He was arrested by West Prison’s people? Madam, why don’t you go to Vice Minister Qu? I heard that Qu Mansion has already been engaged with your mansion, right?”

Mrs. He immediately looked up and asked, “Is Vice Minister Qu in charge of West Prison?”

She had asked Noble Consort He this question just now, but the latter did not answer her. Until now, Mrs. He did not understand the intention of Noble Consort He.

“Vice Minister Qu is not in charge of West Prison. West Prison is under Lord Yun’s control, but Vice Minister Qu has a good relationship with Lord Yun. I heard that Lord Yun treats Vice Minister Qu very well. If he goes to Lord Yun to ask for mercy, it might help.”

The old maid explained.

So, that was the case. Thinking of Noble Consort He’s words, Mrs. He felt that she understood and nodded repeatedly, “Yes, we two families are in-laws. Now that my son is in trouble, his daughter will also have a bad time.”

Mrs. He could no longer sit still and she immediately stood up. “After Mrs. Liu wakes up, tell her that I’ve been here.”

Since Qu Mansion could help, she didn’t want to lose a moment. She had to go back and discuss with Old Master He how to ask Vice Minister Qu to save her son.

“Yes, I get it.” The old maid nodded with a smile and sent Mrs. He to the gate. After Mrs. He was out of sight, the old maid came back and went straight to a yard.

County Lady Jingyu was sitting in the room. Hearing a servant report to her that the old maid was back, she let the old maid in.

As soon as the old maid entered the room, Liu Jingyu asked her gently, “How is it?”

The old maid replied with a smile, “Mrs. He must have gone to Qu Mansion.”

“Reward her!” Liu Jingyu waved her hand, and a senior maid came forward with a pouch. The old maid accepted the pouch and repeated her conversation with Mrs. He in detail.

Liu Jingyu was very satisfied. After letting the old maid leave, she sneered, “Qu Moying, l would like to see how you are going to get away with it this time!”

After coming back from the palace, Qu Moying went to the study to see Qu Zhizhen and told him Dowager Consort Qu’s words. Qu Zhizhen frowned and let her leave after hearing her account.

It seemed that Dowager Consort Qu could not help. He had also thought expected this result. It was extremely difficult to deal with Pei Yuanjun. If there was no other way, he could only bite the bullet and go to beg Lord Yun for mercy. His son just went there at the wrong time, and he was not really involved in the case, so he should be able to save him.

With this thought in mind, Qu Zhizhen was not in the mood to talk to Qu Moying. While telling her to leave quickly, he had people prepare gifts for Lord Yun. He planned to go to Lord Yun Mansion.

Qu Moying respectfully left, but she did not expect to run into Qu Qiuyan after only a few steps.

Seeing Qu Moying, Qu Qiuyan stopped and asked anxiously, “Fourth Sister, what did Dowager Consort Qu say?”

It seemed that the entire mansion knew that she went to the palace to ask Dowager Consort Qu for help.

Qu Moying answered indifferently, “Dowager Consort Qu said that she can’t handle this matter.”

“Why not? She is a Dowager Consort!” Qu Qiuyan did not believe her and said with an unfriendly expression, “Fourth Sister, if you have any problem with me, I don’t mind! But brother has always been good to you and told me not to quarrel with you. Could it be that you didn’t beg Dowager Consort Qu at all?”

Qu Moying sneered and did not explain further. She left with her people in front of Qu Qiuyan. She and Qu Qiuyan were destined to be incompatible like fire and water and there was no need to explain everything to her.

Qu Mingcheng was clearly plotting against rather than getting justice for her. How could Qu Qiuyan not understand the situation? She just pretended not to understand.

She was forced by her father to go to the palace to ask for help. To be a good daughter, she did go. As for the result, how could she really guarantee anything?

Seeing that Qu Moying ignored her and left, Qu Qiuyan could no longer hold back and shouted angrily, “Qu Moying…”

Qu Moying stopped and looked coldly at Qu Qiuyan. “Third Sister, why do you stop me? Did I ask Second Brother to go to He Mansion? No one is stupid. People could tell. Are you going to cover everyone’s eyes?”

She answered bluntly with clear mockery!

Qu Qiuyan was so angry that she trembled. She wanted to give Qu Moying two slaps. But when she thought of her brother’s words and the current situation, she suppressed the urge and clasped her hands so tightly that they became sweaty.

Qu Moying glanced at her from the corner of her eyes. She turned around and continued walking forward.

Behind her, Qu Qiuyan stomped her feet and turned around to the study to inquire about the news.

In the study, Qu Zhizhen’s heart was filled with frustration. He could not calm down at the thought of facing Lord Yun. He had no confidence at all. When he heard that Qu Qiuyan was here, he said irritably, “Let her go back. I don’t have time right now.”

The lad servant quickly shrunk his head and retreated. He walked outside and whispered to Qu Qiuyan.

How could Qu Qiuyan be willing to go back like this? She pushed the lad servant away and broke into the room. “Father, please save Second Brother. Second Brother is in West Prison right now. He might…”

As she spoke, her eyes turned red. The moment she saw Qu Zhizhen, her tears fell.

Qu Zhizhen looked at Qu Qiuyan coldly, his eyes fierce and furious. Qu Qiuyan did not dare to continue and could only cry.

Qu Zhizhen snapped, “Leave now!”

“Father, brother…” Qu Qiuyan still wanted to say something, but she was frightened by Qu Zhizhen’s somewhat hostile eyes. She stepped back and bowed to Qu Zhizhen with tearful eyes, “Father!”

Qu Zhizhen waved his hand.

This time, Qu Qiuyan did not dare to say anything else. She just cried and left. She did not go far and just waited in a pavilion not far away to see when her father would leave.

At this time, she was completely at a loss. She regretted not stopping her brother when he told her about his plan.

She had thought that it would be a sure thing, but she didn’t expect it to end up like this.

Qu Qiuyan was filled with regret, and she hated Qu Moying even more.

She thought it was all Qu Moying’s fault. If it weren’t for her, her brother wouldn’t have been taken to the West Prison.

Qu Zhizhen left Qu Mansion in a hurry with the gifts he had prepared and headed for Lord Yun Mansion. When Qu Moying received the news, she just smiled.

What would happen next was up to Pei Yuanjun!

Right now, the person was in his hands, and he could do whatever he wanted.

“Lady, someone from He Mansion wanted to see Second Master, but Second Master is not home, so Third Lady received her.” Granny Miao, who came to report Qu Zhizhen’s leaving, also told Qu Moying another thing.

Qu Moying put down the qin music score and asked, “Is it Mrs. He?”

“Mrs. He and Old Master He both came here to visit Second Master. However, Second Master was away and Third Lady received them. Therefore, Old Master He went back, leaving only Mrs. He here. Now, they are heading to Third Lady’s Furong House.”

Qu Moying sneered. She knew that Mrs. He and Qu Qiuyan must have been plotting against her now. But she wondered why Mrs. He came to Qu Mansion instead of seeking help to save her son now.

Did she think that Qu Mansion could save her son?

Thinking of this, she raised her head. Could it be that someone had said something to Mrs. He or the others in He Mansion to make them feel that Qu Mansion had the ability to save He Dayu?

This matter was getting stranger!

“Granny Miao, keep an eye on them and see when Mrs. He will leave.” Qu Moying ordered. She wanted to see how Qu Qiuyan and Mrs. He would deal with her.

“Yes, Lady!” Granny Miao nodded and left.

“Yu Dong, continue to tell me the news you heard.” Qu Moying picked up the music score again and said casually. When Granny Miao came in just now, Yu Dong was about to report the news he heard from Ji Hai today.

Yu Dong said, “Lady, the relationship between County Lady Jingyu and First Lady is indeed not ordinary, but very few people know it. Even the First Madam and the Old Lady are not clear about their relationship. I don’t know why First Lady didn’t say it. Perhaps County Lady Jingyu didn’t let her say it.”

He had just asked Ji Hai about this matter at the door.

Qu Moying had long suspected that Qu Xuexin had something to do with County Lady Jingyu, and it turned out to be true.

“When did the two of them become friends?” Qu Moying’s eyelashes fluttered a few times, casting a shadow on her fair and tender face, making her look even more beautiful.

“It should be two or three years ago. At that time, you were still in the village. That day, when First Lady went out on a carriage, it suddenly rained, and the wheels of her carriage broke. Just as she was helpless, County Lady Jingyu’s carriage passed by. Someone in County Lady Jingyu’s carriage knew First Lady, so she asked County Lady Jingyu to stop the carriage, let First Lady get in the carriage, and get someone to repair First Lady’s carriage. After everything was done, First Lady went back to her own carriage.”

Yu Dong continued, “After that, when First Lady and County Lady Jingyu met each other, they would sometimes stand together and talk, but sometimes they acted as if they did not know each other. It was quite strange. Especially when Qu Mansion’s people were around them, County Lady Jingyu and First Lady Qu would act as if they did not know each other well!”

Liu Jingyu’s status was much higher than Qu Xuexin’s. Based on Qu Xuexin’s hankering for vanity, she would not have hidden their relationship. Then why did Liu Jingyu let her hide it like this? Was it possible that Liu Jingyu created the chance to meet Qu Xuexin in the first place?

Qu Moying thought, “Is Liu Jingyu targeting me?”

Although Qu Moying thought it was ridiculous, she thought it was the most possible reason after thinking for a while. After all, Liu Jingyu had an indescribable hostility towards her a long time ago, and it had grown even stronger now.

Qu Moying didn’t know what she had done to Liu Jingyu that the latter had been scheming against her since she was a child and wanted to kill her.

What happened between her and Liu Jingyu?
