Chapter 187 – What Does My Lady Co For?
Chapter 187 What Does My Lady Co For?
Xu Lipeng stood outside the yard with a gloomy face. The news of Yu Qingng losing her child had been confird. Qu Mansion’s Old Lady had already left, and Duan Mansion’s mother and daughter had also left. He had the doctor and the female doctor in the yard tidy up and wanted to take Yu Qingng away.
This was Qu Mansion, and Yu Qingng was only a concubine. The biggest connection between her and Qu Mansion was Yu. Now that Yu was ill like this, it was not suitable for Yu Qingng to stay.
“Greetings, Young Master Xu.” Granny Miao ca in and saluted.
“What is it?” Xu Lipeng turned around and said coldly.
“The doctor who ca to the mansion today to treat our Second Madam was here for the first ti. Originally, he was going to leave after checking on her, but because he was discussing dicine with the Second Madam, he delayed for about two hours and happened to encounter Concubine Yu’s matter. In the past, when the doctors ca to the mansion to treat the Second Madam, they never brought a female doctor along.”
Granny Miao raised her head and said respectfully.
Xu Lipeng was shocked and his face suddenly darkened. He said sternly, “What does your lady want to say?”
“Young Master Xu, my lady does not want to say anything. She just does not want Qu Mansion to be used by others,” Granny Miao said calmly.
Xu Lipeng’s eyes were tightly locked on Granny Miao. His eyes were sinister. “It’s not your lady?”
“Young Master Xu, what do you think does my lady co for?” Granny Miao’s smile carried a trace of ridicule.
What did she co for? Was it for him, Young Master Yongning? Back then, Qu Mansion’s aning was very obvious. They wanted to break off the engagent with him due to the matter between him and Yu Qingng. Others only felt that he had dumped Fourth Lady Qu, and that was why he had an engagent with Duan Mansion. Using the excuse of saving Second Lady Duan, he openly called off his engagent with Fourth Lady Qu.
Only Xu Lipeng himself knew that he absolutely had no intention of marrying Second Lady Duan. Back then, he had only plotted to marry the First Lady of Duan Mansion. First Lady Duan, who had no one to rely on, had the sa use as Qu Moying. Xu Lipeng would never feel it a loss to marry her and then only keep her at his mansion. After all, this could earn him a good reputation for the rest of his life.
Whether it was Qu Moying or Duan Mansion’s First Lady, it didn’t matter to him. As long as she obediently married into his mansion, he would generously accept her as his wife. It was good enough for Yu Qingng to be his concubine. As long as he doted on Yu Qingng enough, she would live a good life in the mansion. In the future, he would even let her son inherit his position.
Therefore, his engagent with Qu Mansion had been going on for so many years. When he heard that this Fourth Lady Qu had no talent or beauty, he did not care, which made others think that he was benevolent and righteous. Marquis Yongning’s Mansion had already declined. He urgently needed a chance to step back into the upper class. For this reason, he endured the ridicule of others and upheld his image of an elegant young master who guarded his chastity.
However, things did not go in the direction he had expected back then, and all the changes were due to Fourth Lady Qu’s return to the mansion this ti.
A surge of anger rushed into his heart, and Xu Lipeng’s face darkened. “Doesn’t your Fourth Lady dislike Qingng? Wasn’t it because of Qingng that she called off the engagent with ? What is she up to now? Did she regret it? Didn’t she make this up to fra innocent people? She even didn’t let an unborn child go.”
His words were extrely sharp, and he practically pinned all the charges on Qu Moying. His reaction was so great that it was beyond Granny Miao’s expectations.
Granny Miao took a step back, and her gaze swept across Xu Lipeng’s livid face. Her expression also beca cold. “Young Master Xu, that was all I had to say. Whether you believe it or not, it is fine. My lady just does not want Qu Mansion to beco a chess piece. Young Master Xu, I believe you are unwilling to be kept in the dark, right?”
After saying that, she bowed to Xu Lipeng and turned to leave.
Granny Miao was very indifferent to Xu Lipeng’s response. Before she followed Qu Moying, she had seen many things outside. Although Young Master Yongning’s behavior was strange, after thinking about it carefully, she understood.
Was he regretting it?
Unfortunately, regret was of no help.
When her lady was alone and cheerless in the village, this Young Master Xu and Yu’s niece were flirting with each other in Qu Mansion. It was obvious that he planned to marry her lady and then ignore her. Only when there was a need would he think of her. She would be asked to serve Marchioness Yongning and fulfill filial duty for him while he would enjoy his sweet ti with Yu Qingng.
Granny Miao had seen many of this kind of man during her long journey before.
Now that her lady had forcefully broken off the engagent, Xu Lipeng had no choice but to agree, and using this excuse, he brought Yu Qingng into his mansion. Now, the “child” in Yu Qingng’s belly was gone, and it was caused by his wife who had yet to marry into the mansion. He had no place to vent his anger, so he blad it all on her lady.
This person was truly a scum!
Seeing that Granny Miao had left without looking back, Xu Lipeng stood quietly under the tree. His face beca gloomier. The young servant, who was standing behind him, lowered his head, not daring to move. He acted like a wooden stake.
After a long while, he heard his Young Master say, “You stay at Qu Mansion’s door. Wait for the doctor to co out and investigate everything about him.”
The young servant hurriedly replied, “Yes!”
Xu Lipeng strode out. The young servant anxiously chased after him a few steps. “Young Master, what about Concubine Yu?”
“Get her to pack up and leave imdiately,” Xu Lipeng said coldly.
The young servant did not dare to continue following him. The young servant helplessly turned around and went back. Young Master was angry. Originally, Young Master was waiting here to wait for Concubine Yu to pack up inside. If what Qu Mansion’s old maid said just now was true, Concubine Yu could be considered to have lost favor and would not be pitied by Young Master in the future.
It seed that Young Master believed what Qu Mansion’s old maid said. In the past, the young servant only felt that Young Master had no feelings for Fourth Lady Qu. Now, it seed that it was not so.
Given the current situation, the young servant could only say that it was a coincidence…
The young servant turned around and went in to send a ssage.
“What? Young Master Xu left?” Yu Qingng looked up with a pale face on the bed.
“Concubine Yu, Young Master asked you to pack up. The carriage is already waiting outside.” The young servant lowered his head and spoke.
Yu Qingng’s face alternated between being livid and red. Now that sothing like this had happened, Xu Lipeng, who was supposed to be by her side, was actually not here. This was enough to show that sothing was wrong. She could not help but grow panicked.
She had been preparing to feign innocence, but now she was no longer in the mood. She asked the young servant to wait outside and sent the doctor away. She hurriedly got up, held the maid’s hand, and slowly walked out.
The carriage was already ready, waiting for Yu Qingng to get on.
“Where is Young Master?” Seeing the empty carriage, Yu Qingng beca more and more panicked and turned to ask the young servant.
“I don’t know either. Young Master just told to ask you to hurry up.” The young servant was also unsure. He looked around blankly.
“Concubine Yu, Young Master has sothing to do and went back first. He asked to take you back to the mansion to rest,” the carriage driver answered.
“What is he going to do?” Yu Qingng’s heart was in a ss.
“I don’t know either.” The carriage driver shook his head. Young Master had sent soone to deliver the ssage to him. He didn’t even see Young Master. Therefore, of course, he didn’t know where Young Master went.
“Let’s hurry back to the mansion.” Yu Qingng said anxiously, feeling more and more uncertain. She had a feeling that things were not going in the direction she had imagined.
Originally, she had listened to Cousin Qiuyan and planned to sche against Qu Moying no matter what. When she ca over today, she had already prepared a blood bag in her clothes.
As long as she fell slightly to the ground, the blood bag would break.
In order to find a suitable reason, she even asked Xu Lipeng to send gifts to Qu Moying, causing the relationship between the two of them to be ambiguous. So, if sothing happened to her, the bla would naturally fall on Qu Moying. Even if Qu Moying did not do anything herself, it could still be done by the maids or the old maids serving Qu Moying.
Qu Moying’s ankle was hurt, so it was not easy to trick her out, but it was very easy to ask her maids or old maids out.
However, she did not expect that Xu Lipeng did not manage to et Qu Moying. When he ca to accompany her for a walk, they actually bumped into Duan Jinxiang.
Duan Jinxiang’s visit to the mansion today was arranged by her aunt.
The goal was to let Duan Jinxiang and Qu Moying have a dispute. Duan Jinxiang had a domineering personality and was a shrewish and violent person. Once provoked, she would attack Qu Moying and cause a big scene between herself and Qu Moying. In addition to Yu Qingng’s incident, how could Qu Moying have any good reputation? She would definitely be sent out imdiately and be locked up in the village for the rest of her life until her death.
However, Duan Jinxiang did not quarrel with Qu Moying but hit Yu Qingng. She could not stand still and fell down. The blood bag was then broken. In this case, she could only pretend to be pregnant and bla the “miscarriage” on Duan Jinxiang.
She was never pregnant. At that ti, she had to co up with this idea because she wanted to marry into Marquis Yongning’s Mansion. But these days, she could not pretend anymore. If her baby bump was not shown in half a month, the shrewd Marchioness Yongning would definitely find out. At that ti, she would not be able to offer a reasonable explanation for herself.
The fake child in the belly must be disposed of. She could no longer hide it.
She felt it a pity that she couldn’t set Qu Moying up for this, but fortunately, there was Duan Jinxiang. There would eventually be tis when she and Duan Jinxiang would have conflict. At this ti, if Yu Qingng could embarrass Duan Jingxiang and make Duan Jinxiang owe her, it would be beneficial to her.
But what was going on now? Wasn’t Xu Lipeng supposed to protect her at this ti? Why did he suddenly abandon her and leave? Was there really sothing going on? Or was there so other accident?
Yu Qingng returned to the mansion with a perturbed heart. She even did not inform Qu Qiuyan, nor did she report to Yu…
“My lady, Concubine Yu left.” Granny Miao only reported to Qu Moying after Yu Qingng left.
“How is it?” Qu Moying asked with a smile. Granny Miao had returned a little late.
“My lady, just now, Young Master Xu reprimanded and asked what you were up to.” Granny Miao thought for a mont and said frankly, reminding her lady of sothing.
“It’s fine!” Qu Moying said calmly.
She was not surprised by Xu Lipeng’s reaction. Xu Lipeng was very arrogant. In his opinion, her reminder seed to be mocking him.
“My lady, will he go against you in the future?” Granny Miao was a little worried. She looked at Qu Moying and wanted to speak further. There were so things that she wanted to say more clearly, but she felt it was a little inconvenient. Her lady was still a girl who had not married. There were so things that she should not say to her lady.
