Chapter 189 – The Suggestion That Two Sisters Handle The Family Affairs Together
Chapter 189 The Suggestion that Two Sisters Handle the Family Affairs Together
After a long ti, Yu woke up. She reached out to hold Hai Lan’s hand. There was a faint trace of blood on the corner of her lips. She looked toward the door with hatred. “How… How can he do this… How can he do this to … I gave birth to children for him, but in his heart, I still can’t compare to that woman…”
Hai Lan understood what Yu was talking about. Her expression changed greatly. She reached out to cover Yu’s mouth and said with a trembling voice, “Madam, Madam, please don’t say that. Please.”
“Don’t say that? What are you talking about? He is about to take my life… Could it be that without , he… would marry that woman…? That woman…” Yu was extrely excited as she struggled. She forcefully pushed Hai Lan away. Her smile was extrely miserable, and blood flowed down from the corner of her lips. “I thought I won. Actually, neither of us won. In his heart… In his heart there is always…”
“Madam, even if you don’t care about yourself, you have to consider the Third Lady and the Second Young Master.” Hai Lan was so scared that her face turned pale. She trembled and begged in a low voice.
This sentence successfully made Yu calm down. Her head drooped down powerlessly. Her eyes were slightly closed, and she seed to be lifeless.
Hai Lan gently wiped the corner of Yu’s mouth with a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of Yu’s mouth. She lowered her voice and said, “Madam, you still have the Third Lady and the Second Young Master. They are both promising. Second Master has always paid attention to them. Everything will get better in the future. Just relax and wait.”
Yu did not say anything. Her eyes were still closed. She looked as if she had lost her breath. Only her chest heaved slightly. And only by that could Hai Lan tell she had been awake the entire ti.
After a long while, she opened her eyes and looked up with empty eyes. “I have been fighting in my entire life. I always thought that I was the one who won. But what is the truth? The one who won was never . His heart never belonged to , but I thought that… I thought that I had won against those two won.”
“Madam, things will get better. Those are just your guesses. They are not accurate.” Hai Lan could not bear to hear such words, so she hurriedly lowered her voice to persuade Yu.
Yu did not speak again. Her eyes stared straight into midair. She didn’t move, looking a little scary. Hai Lan did not dare to speak again. After a long ti, she heard Yu’s calm voice. “Go and find out if sothing that I do not know about has happened.”
“Yes, I will go now.” Seeing that she had cald down, Hai Lan breathed a sigh of relief and called a maid over, who was waiting at the door, to carefully serve Yu.
However, Hai Lan returned not long after she left.
“What’s wrong?” Hearing her footsteps, Yu turned to look at her.
“Madam…” Hai Lan wanted to say sothing but stopped.
“We can’t get out?” Yu suddenly smiled. She reached out to grab the corner of her quilt and knead it in her palm. There was a vague speculation in her heart.
“Yes, when Second Master went out just now, he asked the old maid to co over and guard the yard. He said that he wanted you to have a good rest and recuperate. So in the future, no unauthorized person can co in and out of this yard.” Hai Lan said in a low voice as she stole a glance at Yu’s emotions. “Maybe sothing went wrong today, and the Second Master got angry after finding it out. When the Third Lady cos, let’s ask her about it and see how it goes, okay?”
This ti, Yu was actually very calm. Her gaze swept past the door, and the corners of her lips curled up. There was a hint of ridicule in her voice. “He is now eager for to not go out and is afraid that I will ruin his plans again. But the little bitch Qu Moying is actually so scheming. Even in this situation, she actually makes him believe her so much.”
Qu Zhizhen had co to her yard just after he returned to the mansion. It ant that sothing must have happened to Qu Moying that Qu Zhizhen has known so that he did not believe Yu’s words at all and even locked her up.
The so-called recuperation and the unauthorized people were just his excuses.
Fortunately, she still had a pair of children. Otherwise, at this ti, Yu did not know if she could still keep her head. This man’s heart had always been ruthless.
Just like how he treated Yue back then. Was it her turn now?
But she was not Yue. She had never been Yue. Yu, who faintly felt that there were hidden dangers, was not unprepared. Yue died because of this, but she wouldn’t.
It was not the ti now for a life-and-death struggle. She had children and her future…
“I’ll recuperate for now!” Yu ordered weakly. “There’s no need to think about the Third Lady.”
Yu understood her daughter’s personality. At this ti, Yan would not be willing to co over and spare so glances at Yu because she was afraid of provoking her father Qu Zhizhen.
“But what about Miss Yu?” Hai Lan said uneasily.
“She has to rely on her own!” Yu closed her eyes. Right now, she couldn’t even care about herself. Why would she pay attention to her niece? No matter how good her niece was, her niece was not her daughter. Why would she care so much…
When Qu Zhizhen ca out from Yu’s place, he t the people Old Lady had sent over. Then, he turned a corner and went to Kangming House, comforted the Old Lady and then left. After taking a few steps towards the outer yard, Qu Zhizhen stopped. After standing in place for a while, he imdiately turned around and walked towards Qianyue House.
Qu Moying was watching Yu Chun doing embroidery. When she heard that Qu Zhizhen had co over, she was also stunned for a mont. She hurriedly held Yu Dong’s hand and stood up to welco him.
Qu Zhizhen stood in the yard with his hands behind his back. When he heard the voice behind him and saw Qu Moying co out to greet him, his cold expression eased a little.
Qu Moying stepped forward and bowed.
Qu Zhizhen waved his hand. “Let’s go in and talk.” After that, he walked into the house first.
Qu Moying held Yu Dong’s hand and followed him in.
Qu Zhizhen sat down on the chair in the middle. Qu Moying sat down on the chair on the side. The maid then served them tea. Qu Zhizhen picked it up and took a sip. He frowned. “Where was this tea from?”
“It was originally here. Father, do you feel that sothing is wrong?” Qu Moying said softly.
“It’s old tea. The new tea is already served. It’s not good for you to use the old one. I’ll get soone to send you so new tea later,” Qu Zhizhen said softly.
“Thank you, Father.” Qu Moying stood up with Yu Dong’s help and bowed.
“Sit down first. Your foot is injured. You have to take care of it. Don’t go out if there’s nothing important,” Qu Zhizhen said gently.
“My foot is much better. Thank you for your concern, Father.” Qu Moying sat down again and smiled gently.
“What happened today? It’s Yu’s niece again. Does this have anything to do with you?” Qu Zhizhen picked up the tea and took another sip. His gaze fell on Qu Moying, and he glanced at her a few more tis.
There were too many anings in these words. Qu Moying could not find any other anings from Qu Zhizhen’s words for a second. So, she lowered her head and shook her head. “The wife of Imperial Banquet Minister and Second Lady Duan ca to the mansion to visit the Second Madam. Second Lady Duan got agitated when she saw Concubine Yu. She pushed Concubine Yu, and sothing happened to Concubine Yu. Coincidentally, the doctor and the female doctor that the Second Madam invited were also in the mansion.”
These words were impartial and did not have many personal opinions. Qu Moying was only narrating one case. Grandmother would definitely tell this matter to this so-called father of hers, so she did not need to say much.
But these words had hidden anings. The presence of the doctor and the female doctor was Yu’s biggest mistake.
If they investigated carefully, they would definitely find out so things.
“I already know about this matter. Yu will take good care of her illness in the future. Her niece is just a concubine. In the future, she will have nothing to do with our mansion. As for Marquis Yongning’s Mansion, they can be considered treacherous. I naturally do not like them. There is no need to keep in contact with them in the future.” Qu Zhizhen thought about it and said with a hint of appeasent.
“Thank you, Father!” Qu Moying understood that Qu Zhizhen was trying to be nice to her. She nodded gently and did not pursue the matter further.
She could only sneer in her heart. It seed that this so-called father of hers treated Yu quite well. Even at this point, Yu was only grounded. No wonder Qu Moying’s Mother would leave ho to the convent when she was pregnant. With Yu around, she must have no choice but to leave.
Otherwise, why would she die with her baby when she was giving birth to it?
However, in the end, Qu Moying’s Mother was still unable to sche against Yu. Qu Moying was certain that at that ti, Yu definitely did not want to see Mother smoothly give birth. If she gave birth to a son, then he would be the wife-born son. At that ti, Yu was just a concubine, so how could she be willing to let Mother give birth to a child?
With Yu’s temperant, it was inevitable for her to make a move, but it was unknown what role this so-called father played in this.
“Take good care of your injuries. In the future, if there is anything, just find directly. Your Grandmother is old. Sotis she is unable to do what she hopes to do.” Qu Zhizhen stood up and gently instructed. The gaze which he looked at Qu Moying was kind and soft.
Qu Moying also stood up and lowered her head, coincidentally avoiding Qu Zhizhen’s gentle and caring gaze. “Yes, Father.”
She looked very obedient.
This ti, Qu Zhizhen did not speak. He nodded and walked out with his hands behind his back. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Qu Moying. “If your foot injury is better, you can handle the family affairs with Yan. Right now, only the two of you can handle things in the mansion. Although it will be difficult for you, in the future, you two… have to handle these things. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask Grandmother and Aunt Luo.”
“Yes,” Qu Moying replied with a natural expression.
She did not doubt Qu Zhizhen’s words.
Qu Zhizhen was very satisfied with Qu Moying’s gentleness and obedience. He nodded and really left this ti.
After he left the yard, Yu Dong helped Qu Moying sit down and said, “My lady, why is Second Master so good to you this ti?”
Just now, when he ca over to ask about the matter, he did not bla his lady at all. He even faintly expressed his concern that he had never shown before. It was really surprising.
Abnormal, too abnormal!
Qu Moying shook her head. She did not know much, but she still had so faint guesses in her heart. She was afraid that this matter was related to Pei Yuanjun. Maybe her so-called father believed that the opportunity had co, didn’t he?
“My lady, it will be easier to deal with the shop that Madam left behind now that you can handle the family affairs,” Granny Zhou said happily.
Just now, she was also in the room. When she saw Qu Zhizhen co in, she had been standing behind Qu Moying with her head lowered. She was afraid that Qu Zhizhen would see her. Now that Qu Zhizhen had left, she interjected.
She was also relieved in her heart. She was sure that Qu Zhizhen had seen her, but he did not say a word. It was equivalent to tacitly acknowledging her existence. In the future, she no longer had to hide.
