Chapter 197 – Pretending To Be Weak In Front Of The Onlookers
Chapter 197 Pretending to Be Weak in Front of the Onlookers
It was not Qu Caiyue herself who stopped Qu Moying. It was the maid serving her. It was said that the person who ca to West Mansion to report that day was exactly this private maid.
When she saw Qu Moying coming over, she turned around from the side of the road.
“Greetings, Fourth Lady.”
“What is it?” Qu Moying stopped and asked.
“My lady is waiting for you in the waterside pavilion ahead, Fourth Lady. She would like to talk to you,” the maid said, pointing back. Yuedong Gate was there. Walking past Yuedong Gate, one would see West Mansion’s biggest lotus pond. The waterside pavilion platform had a good view. It was a good place to admire the scenery.
Although it was not the ti for lotus flowers to bloom, there would be so small flower buds appearing from ti to ti.
Qu Moying nodded, followed the maid to walk past Yuedong Gate, and headed toward the lotus pond. She happened to want to draw a lotus flower painting, and she had originally planned to take a look there soti.
At the waterside pavilion next to the lotus pond, Qu Caiyue sat there alone, unconsciously holding a handkerchief in her hand. She looked dazed.
This waterside pavilion was near the lake. It had a good view and was quiet. The wind blew up the gauze at the waterside pavilion, reflecting the beauty in it. The beauty was vaguely seen from ti to ti, which appeared even more mysterious.
Qu Moying stopped on the shore.
“Fourth Lady, my lady is there.” The maid saw Qu Moying stop, and she pointed at the waterside pavilion. From here, they could see Qu Caiyue sitting there.
“Let’s go!” Qu Moying said as she slowly walked forward. She walked past the waterside pavilion and arrived in front of Qu Caiyue. This place looked like a small pavilion. Different from other pavilions, it was surrounded by water, and there was only one path leading to it.
“Moying.” Seeing Qu Moying co over, Qu Caiyue imdiately stood up. Her expression was sorrowful and her face was filled with worry.
Qu Moying sized up her expression and said indifferently, “Second Sister, what’s going on? What’s the matter?”
“Moying, save .” Qu Caiyue grabbed Qu Moying’s hand, and her legs went soft. She seed like she was going to kneel down. Yu Dong reacted quickly. He rushed to help Qu Caiyue.
“Just say what you want to say, Second Sister. There’s no need to do this.” Qu Moying’s face sank. She looked at Qu Caiyue without changing her expression.
Qu Caiyue did not force herself to kneel down. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sobbed, “Moying, I know that I have wronged you before, but… but I really did not an to target you. I… I was…”
Qu Caiyue stopped here and looked left and right with a bit of panic. When she saw the waterside pavilion here, she sighed in relief.
“Moying, I was in the wrong in the past. I let you down. Please spare this ti!” Qu Caiyue looked at Qu Moying with a pleading face.
“Second Sister, what do you want to do?” Qu Moying said indifferently. Her eye veil floated in the wind, but it could not hide the coldness on her face.
“Moying, please… please take to the palace. I… I also want to see Dowager Consort Qu. I want to ask Dowager Consort Qu to help … As long as Dowager Consort Qu can speak up for , First Madam will definitely not make things difficult for .” Qu Caiyue beca excited and looked at Qu Moying with red-rimd eyes. It could be seen that she was really anxious.
“Are you so sure that Dowager Consort Qu will definitely help you, Second Sister?” Qu Moying said calmly.
“I know… Dowager Consort Qu might not interfere, but… but this is my only chance. As long as you tell the Old Lady and give a chance, I will definitely seize it. Even if Dowager Consort Qu makes things difficult for , I will definitely make her happy.”
When Qu Caiyue heard Qu Moying’s words, she beca more and more excited.
She reached out to pull Qu Moying’s sleeve and shook it hard. The eagerness in her expression was real. She was really anxious.
“Moying, I beg you, please.” Seeing that Qu Moying did not respond, Qu Caiyue beca more and more flustered.
“Second Sister, why didn’t you go and beg Third Sister?” Qu Moying looked at Qu Caiyue and calmly curved her lips.
“The people from the palace were sent to your Qianyue House, and a Disciple Granny from the palace was sent to teach you the etiquette. It can be seen that Dowager Consort Qu values you the most, Moying. As long as you say sothing, Dowager Consort Qu will definitely agree. Moying, the only one who can save now is you. I… I will be at your disposal in the future to repay you.”
Qu Caiyue asked anxiously.
“Second Sister, how about you tell Granny Yan yourself?” Qu Moying suddenly cackled.
“Is… is that okay?” Qu Caiyue was overjoyed and reached out to grab Qu Moying’s hand, but Qu Moying avoided.
“Well, I have to ask Granny Yan first.” Qu Moying didn’t promise anything and only said lightly.
“Thank you, Moying, thank you so much.” Qu Caiyue was excited and kept saying thanks. “Why don’t we go now? Moying, I can’t wait anymore. I’m just afraid that one day, First Madam will bring back. Then, I… I really won’t have any hope.”
“Aunt Luo is a very good person,” Qu Moying said.
“I know… I know… But… but now I have provoked First Madam. I… I don’t want it to be like this either. At that ti, I couldn’t think things through, so I… I didn’t expect to cause such a big trouble for her.” Qu Caiyue blad herself, her face full of regret.
“It might not work right now. I will send Granny Yan to your place so you can say it yourself.” Qu Moying laughed. This Qu Caiyue was really interesting. She was very flexible.
It was a pity that she had gone too far.
“Send Granny Yan to ?” Qu Caiyue was stunned. This was different from what she had imagined before.
“Why? You don’t like the idea?” Qu Moying asked.
Qu Caiyue gritted her teeth. “It’s not that I don’t like it. I’m afraid that Granny Yan doesn’t like and feels that my attitude is not respectful, and she will reject directly. Perhaps… you can help tell her first, and I… I will co over and beg her. It will… It will be better. As for Grandmother, please also ntion it to her first, Moying.”
“I don’t know how to answer that, Second Sister. First, I can’t make the decision on Granny Yan’s side, and second, I can’t persuade Grandmother either. As long as you manage to persuade Granny Yan first, Granny Yan can then ntion it to Grandmother!” Qu Moying’s smile faded a little.
“I…”
“Second Sister, I still have sothing to do, so I won’t accompany you now. If you think this thod is feasible, I will ask Granny Yan to co over later. If it is not feasible, I have no other way.” Qu Moying interrupted Qu Caiyue.
After saying that, Qu Moying turned to leave. It was not easy for Qu Caiyue to find Qu Moying. How could she let Qu Moying go like this? She was so anxious that she subconsciously reached out to pull Qu Moying’s clothes.
Qu Moying was not aware that Qu Caiyue was going to pull her clothes. For a mont, she could not stand steadily, and she was about to fall.
Yu Dong rushed forward to support Qu Moying, but he stumbled and fell to the ground.
“Second Sister, what do you an by this?” Qu Moying held the pillar beside her, stood still, and said with a displeased expression.
“I… I didn’t an it.” Qu Caiyue was also stunned for a mont. She really just pulled Qu Moying’s clothes subconsciously. It was not a very hard tug.
“Second Sister, you pulled so hard. Did you an to make fall into the water?” Qu Moying angrily pointed to the lotus pond outside. Coincidentally, there was a small gap here. It might not be a big deal normally, but in a physical conflict, one could indeed fall from here.
“Moying, I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t an it.” Qu Caiyue was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She still needed Qu Moying at this ti, so how could she afford a falling-out with Qu Moying?
“Second Sister, I don’t care if you did it on purpose or not, and I will tell Grandmother about this matter.” Qu Moying said coldly and turned to pull Yu Dong up.
Qu Caiyue’s anxious voice ca from behind. Qu Moying moved her feet and was ready to leave quickly.
Qu Caiyue’s behavior was really suspicious. She showed her weakness first, and then she kept pleading. If Qu Moying guessed correctly, the people around Grandmother should have seen this scene.
The view here was very wide. If soone wanted to see this place, it would be very simple.
“Moying, please help .” It was not known where Qu Caiyue got the strength from, but she suddenly rushed over from behind, wanting to hold Qu Moying and not let the latter go.
Yu Dong dutifully blocked it and grabbed Qu Caiyue’s hand to prevent Qu Caiyue from kneeling down again. He said, “Second Lady, you almost pushed my lady down just now. What else do you want?”
Up front, Qu Moying did not stop walking and continued to move forward, ignoring the conflict behind her.
“No. I am begging your lady…” Qu Caiyue anxiously argued.
“Second Lady, sit down first. Granny Yan will co in a while. If there is anything, just tell her directly. As for my lady, Second Lady, you indeed have frad her before. It is normal that my lady doesn’t believe that you didn’t an to harm her just now. My lady has been kind enough to ask Granny Yan to co.”
Yu Dong said. He had already received Qu Moying’s hint just now and knew what to say at this ti.
“Is Granny Yan coming?” Qu Caiyue originally wanted to hold Qu Moying tightly, but when she heard that Granny Yan from the palace was coming, she imdiately panicked and stopped in her tracks.
This pause made her watch Qu Moying walk away.
“Yes, she’ll be here soon!” Yu Dong nodded repeatedly.
Qu Caiyue did not dare to make any more fuss. She could only watch as Qu Moying left. This place was actually extrely good. If they really made a scene, Qu Moying would not be able to leave. The waterside pavilion was just a small place. If sothing happened, Qu Moying would not be able to escape from the guilt. However, Qu Caiyue did not expect a maid to be so strong that the maid actually managed to stop her.
On the shore not far away, Granny Wu frowned and looked at the waterside pavilion. She was far away and could not hear what the two ladies were talking about. However, she could see clearly that the Second Lady had been begging the Fourth Lady for sothing. The Second Lady looked extrely pitiful. If not for the fact that the Second Lady pushed the Fourth Lady’s maid to the ground, Granny Wu would have definitely thought that the Second Lady was very weak and pitiful.
However, it did not seem to be true now.
“Where’s the Third Lady?” Seeing that the Fourth Lady had already left and the Second Lady was now alone without doing anything reckless, Granny Wu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and said with an unhappy expression to the old maid, who was leading the way.
The matter of the Second Lady had already made the Old Lady unhappy. If she caused any more trouble in West Mansion, the Old Lady would be furious.
“I saw the Third Lady just now. But maybe… maybe I made a mistake!” The old maid, who was leading the way, stamred. She had specially brought Granny Wu to look for the Third Lady.
Granny Wu gave her a cold look and turned to leave. She only had a trace of doubt before, but now the level of doubt had increased much.
anwhile, soone who passed by also witnessed everything just now.
Not just soone, but two people…
