Chapter 26
Chapter 26 Yu Qingng and Xu Lipeng, Hand in Glove
Pei Yuanjun looked back on his desk and rubbed his forehead. After that, he picked up a file on the desk to read. If Qu Moying were there, she would find that the file was about her.
It was the information about her since she was born, even including the few tis when Yu sent soone to fra her.
“A gloomy, silent, and ugly girl who was sent to the countryside and ignored by her families,” Pei Yuanjun rubbed his forehead and suddenly said.
“Yes, my lord, that’s what’s said in the file,” soone answered, but no one could see where he was.
“Don’t you think she’s not the sa person described in the file?” Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrow with a breezy look in his eyes.
“My lord, but it truly is her information,” the hidden guard said firmly.
No doubt it was the sa person. The hidden guard was also surprised why the information seed so unreal.
If he hadn’t sent soone to investigate by himself, he would assu that those were two different girls.
Pei Yuanjun leaned back on the large wooden chair lazily with a smile while muttering to himself, “Very interesting!”
Actually, the mont he saw Qu Moying kicking that woman, he had known that she was the right person. The weak, helpless, abandoned daughter of an ex-wife? That was totally not her.
The hidden guard didn’t dare to respond to that, and the room fell in silence.
After a long while, Pei Yuanjun said slowly, “Send soone to her so I could contact her at any ti!”
“Yes, my lord!” The hidden guard said, “What about the Crown Prince’s mansion?”
Others might assu that the fire in the Crown Prince’s mansion was an accident, but everyone in Lord Yun’s mansion knew that it was designed by their lord.
The fire would lead to a bigger plan…
“Aunt… Aunt…” Yu Qingng fell to Yu’s arms with her tears falling down, looking quite pitiful.
Yu liked her niece a lot, and the latter had nearly been raised by her. As she saw Yu Qingng so sad, she asked anxiously, “What happened? ng, did soone bully you?”
“Aunt… I… I…” Yu Qingng, angry and ashad, lowered her head and wiped her tears.
“What on earth has happened?” Seeing that Yu Qingng couldn’t make herself clear, Yu turned around to scold Ju Xiang, Yu Qingng’s maid. The other maid of Yu Qingng, who went out with her, was still unable to get up.
“Madam, it’s Fourth Lady… It’s all her fault. She brought our lady out, but after the accident, she just dumped our lady and left. There were so many people seeing Young Master Xu holding our lady,” Ju Xiang took a step forward and said angrily.
Yu Qingng had told her to say those words long ago.
She had co here only to fra Qu Moying in front of Yu.
“What? How dare she!” Hearing that it was about Qu Moying again, Yu, face turning pale, thumped on the table and said with hatred.
Qu Qiuyan had got better after taking dicine, but she still hadn’t fully recovered. So Yu felt that Qu Moying must have sothing to do with that.
But Yu just couldn’t find any clue.
As she heard that the accident happening to Yu Qingng was also relevant to Qu Moying, she finally couldn’t hold it anymore. She held Yu Qingng’s hand and said, “Let’s go. I’ll get justice for you.”
“Aunt, where… where are you taking to?” Yu Qingng said in a hurry and even forgot to wipe her tears.
“To Old Lady Qu’s place. Qu Moying has gone too far. I don’t think the Old Lady would believe her this ti!” Yu flew into a rage. She felt that this ti she had the reason to argue.
However, Yu Qingng felt very guilty because she knew that Ju Xiang made up most of the story. Therefore, she didn’t dare to confront Old Lady Qu.
“Aunt, slow down. Please listen to first.” Yu Qingng held Yu’s hand with a sad look. The tears on her face made her look very pitiful.
“My girl, look what she has done to you. How can I not tell Old Lady Qu? Do you want her to bully you with impunity?” Yu tapped on Yu Qingng’s forehead, trying to enlighten the latter.
“Aunt, now is not the ti to talk about that. Young Master Xu… Young Master Xu and I… So many people have seen us… What should I do?” Yu Qingng cried again while pulling Yu’s sleeve, “Aunt, what could I do? My reputation is ruined. There… there won’t be any guy who’s willing to marry . If so… I… I should just die…”
The more she said, the more aggrieved she got. Then she lowered her head, sobbing.
“What else could you do? You have to marry Young Master Xu. He’s always been good to you. It’s a great thing for him if he could marry you instead of that blind girl,” Yu said breezily.
When Xu Lipeng had visited Qu’s mansion before, Yu Qingng had always kept him company. Yu assud that they had feelings for each other and weren’t a couple only because Qu Moying was Xu Lipeng’s fiancée. However, after what had happened today, Yu felt that Marquis Yongning had to give her niece an explanation.
Yu felt that it would be perfect if Xu Lipeng could break off the engagent with Qu Moying and marry Yu Qingng.
“Aunt… Qu Moying is Young Master Xu’s fiancée… She… she won’t agree to that.” Yu Qingng cried even harder, “Aunt, if Young Master Xu is not willing to be responsible for , I… I have no choice but to die.”
She had wanted to marry the Young Master Xu for a long ti. The girls at her age had all got engaged long ago, but she still hadn’t even though she had turned sixteen. It was all because of Xu Lipeng.
However, although she and Xu Lipeng got a thing for each other, the latter never said he would marry her and only claid that she had to wait. However, she didn’t want to wait anymore. She got so jealous at the thought of Qu Moying being Xu Lipeng’s fiancée.
She just couldn’t tolerate a blind girl having such a great fiancé.
Also, she considered herself a beautiful and tender girl and believed that she was much better than Qu Moying.
Qu Moying had been betrothed to Xu Lipeng when she was still in her mother’s womb. At that ti, Xu Lipeng was already born. Yu Qingng believed that the engagent had happened only because of Qu Moying’s mother, but she was the one who truly understood Xu Lipeng.
Now was a great chance for her.
“ng, don’t worry. Tomorrow I’ll ask Madam Yongning to break off the engagent Young Master Xu has with Qu Moying. Then her son will marry you.” Yu nodded.
“But… but… Old Lady Qu might disagree.” Yu Qingng covered her face and cried, “Young Master Xu has a great reputation. If soone knows that he is the cause for that, he will surely be upset.”
“Then what should we do?” Yu frowned and asked, “Don’t tell you want to be Xu Lipeng’s concubine. No, I won’t let you do so.”
“Aunt, that’s not what I want. He won’t do this to … But… But Qu Moying…” Yu Qingng glimpsed at Yu while crying. As she saw Yu’s face turned red in anger, she knew that it was about ti to say that. “Aunt, when we were in the carriage, Qu Moying also cursed you. She said… said that you were shaless and that you were just a concubine who… who was so bold to replace the madam, and that didn’t change the fact that you were just a concubine.”
Yu Qingng exaggerated.
“This is outrageous!” Yu thumped on the table in rage.
“Aunt, even if the engagent will be broken off, you still can’t let that bitch get away. I have to teach her a lesson for you!” Yu Qingng said. She rolled her eyes and continued, “Aunt, is there a way that we can dishonor her and make her break the engagent at the sa ti? Since she has the guts to curse you, we can’t let her get away from this easily.”
“She’s just a blind girl. Does she really think that Young Master Xu would marry her? Since she called a concubine, I’ll make her a concubine.” Yu snorted.
The ti when she had been a concubine was the most shaful mory she had. No one in the Qu’s mansion dared to ntion that.
As she heard that Qu Moying brought that up, she felt her heart stabbed and wished she would tear Qu Moying apart.
“Be a concubine? Whose concubine? Aunt, she’s my uncle’s true-born daughter. She won’t agree to be a concubine. Also, she has Old Lady Qu’s support.” Yu Qingng looked down to cover the complacent look in her eyes. Now that she got her aunt involved, she believed that Young Master Xu would be pleased.
‘Now, Young Master Xu could still have a good reputation and break off the engagent. Also, Qu Moying will be another man’s concubine, that’s perfect,’ Yu Qingng thought.
She thought that Young Master Xu would definitely call her a clever girl.
Young Master Xu had never liked the engagent, but he felt it was inappropriate for him to bring it up. Yu Qingng had known his difficulties. However, she was too old to wait any longer.
“She has to. No one would marry a blind girl with a bad reputation.” Yu snorted. Her husband was about to co back ho. If her plan went well, she only needed to give him so pillow talk, then everything would be settled. By then, it didn’t matter if Old Lady Qu disagreed!
“Lord Jing has a cousin. I heard that although that man has got married, he’s still very dissolute. Also, his wife is a shrew. Tomorrow we can invite him over.” Yu seed to be suggesting sothing.
Yu also had a backup plan because she thought that would be safer. She knew that Qu Moying was a different girl from before.
He Dapang, whose nickna was Fat He, was Lord Jing’s cousin. Because of that, everyone in the capital didn’t dare to offend him. Noble Consort He was second to the empress but very favored by the emperor. Even though Lord Jing was just a regular royalty now, he was a man with incredible potential. It was said that the emperor had scolded the Crown Prince more than once.
Then what about Lord Jing, who was adored by the emperor?
Therefore, no one dared to despise He Dapang because of Noble Consort He and Lord Jing.
So even if he was a playboy, there were still many people playing up to him. So people even sent him a lot of beauties in order to make him put in a good word for them in front of Lord Jing.
However, Zhao, who was He Dapang’s wife, was a total shrew. He Dapang had had a mistress once. Zhao directly stripped that mistress and paraded her through the streets. The mistress felt so ashad and jumped into a river after the punishnt.
“All right, Aunt. I see!” Yu Qingng knew what Yu ant and kept nodding. Then she got closer to Yu to hear the latter’s instruction…
On that night, Qu Moying received two pots of peony. This was the first ti Yu presented her sothing.
