Chapter 320 Indignant Qu Xuexin

Yan Yujiao gritted her teeth and looked at Qu Moying’s back. She was exasperated, but she didn’t chase after Qu Moying.

“Lady, Lady!” Seeing that Yan Yujiao had been silent, a maid called out anxiously. She was worried that Yan Yujiao might really be seriously injured in the collision just now.

“Let’s go back.” Yan Yujiao suddenly moved and walked out.

One of the maids went to pay the dical fee, while the other ran after Yan Yujiao and asked, “Lady, where are we going?”

Yan Yujiao said coldly, “Go back and find County Lady Jingyu.”

The maid was stunned for a mont, but she did not dare to say anything and could only follow Yan Yujiao.

Yan Yujiao and Liu Jingyu ca out for a walk early today. After walking for a while, they felt tired, so they went to a bookshop. They read books and admired paintings in the private room on the second floor of the bookshop and felt quite at ease.

When Yan Yujiao found that it was getting late, she said she wanted to go ho first. Her mother asked her to go back ho early when she ca out today, saying there were guests in the mansion.

However, Liu Jingyu kept talking to her. When Yan Yujiao wanted to leave, Liu Jingyu said that it was rare for them to co out once and they should play to their hearts’ content. She said they should go to Treasure Restaurant to have a al together, and she asked Yan Yujiao not to leave so early.

Yan Yujiao felt that it was not bad, so she stayed. But just now, one of the Liu Family’s old maids ca over and said that Mrs. Liu had fainted. Liu Jingyu was so anxious that she apologized to Yan Yujiao and quickly left.

Yan Yujiao was tired after the walk. Since Liu Jingyu had left for ho, she had nowhere to go, so she also decided to go back to her mansion. However, on her way back, her carriage bumped into Qu Moying’s carriage.

When she got off the carriage just now, she saw one of the legs of Qu Moying’s horse was cut off, and she was almost scared to the point of falling unconscious. Her heart was still beating fast now.

Yan Yujiao’s carriage was alright, and it was waiting for her at the clinic’s door now. Yan Yujiao got on the carriage, and it headed towards the bookshop she had just been to.

In the carriage, Yan Yujiao’s face was gloomy. She twisted the handkerchief in her hands.

Looking at her gloomy face, the maid did not dare to say anything but sit quietly aside.

The carriage stopped at the bookshop. Yan Yujiao went up to the private room on the second floor with her maids. She called a shop assistant over, and the shop assistant was the one who served tea to her and Liu Jingyu before.

Yan Yujiao asked with a calm face, “Was the Liu Family’s old maid worried when she entered the shop to report to County Lady Jingyu?”

She rembered seeing that old maid staggering into the private room at that ti. She didn’t doubt anything at that ti because it was reasonable for a servant like her to be frightened if sothing happened to Mrs. Liu.

“I didn’t pay attention to her, but…” The shop assistant said after thinking for a while. There were quite a few people at that ti, and he did not find anything abnormal. That was why he hesitated.

“Go ahead!” Yan Yujiao glanced at the maid beside her, and the maid imdiately walked forward and gave the shop assistant a money bag.

As soon as the shop assistant took the money bag, a smile appeared on his face. He slightly bowed and said, “Lady, it’s just my guess. If this old maid did rush into our shop, I would definitely have noticed her. But I noticed nothing at that ti, so there must be nothing unusual.”

The shop assistant explained flatteringly.

Yan Yujiao’s heart skipped a beat. She continued to ask, “When the old maid ca in, did she ask other shop assistants where we were?”

The shop assistant said, “Please allow to ask soone.”

Yan Yujiao nodded, and the shop assistant walked out of the room. After a while, the shop assistant ca in and said, “Lady, a shop assistant saw this old maid. After entering the shop, she asked soone about you two ladies. After knowing where the two of you were, she didn’t ask the shop assistant to lead the way. She didn’t seem to be worried, and she ca to your room by herself.”

Yan Yujiao’s face was slightly pale. At this ti, she was already very suspicious of Liu Jingyu. Did Liu Jingyu really set her up as Qu Moying said? But how did she know Qu Moying’s whereabouts? And why did she want to deal with Qu Moying? The two of them barely had anything to do with each other.

Yan Yujiao wondered if Liu Jingyu was plotting against her. But she had been on good terms with Liu Jingyu, and she couldn’t see why Liu Jingyu would want to plot against her.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but how to explain the old maid’s action?

Was she confused by what Qu Moying said, or was she really set up by Liu Jingyu? Yan Yujiao couldn’t figure it out, so she went downstairs to return ho.

She had to ask for her mother’s advice and discuss the issue with her…

Qu Xuexin had been waiting for Qu Moying for a long ti at the said tea house. Along the way, she did not see anyone else. Only one old maid ca over and whispered a few words to her. After that, she quietly waited for Qu Moying.

She had been waiting for a long ti. It was so long that Hong i, who followed her here, went downstairs several tis to see if Qu Moying was coming.

Lunchti had already passed, but Qu Moying still did not show up.

Qu Xuexin was very calm, and there was even a faint smile on her face. She was not anxious at all. She asked the shop assistants to serve so pastries. She ate a few pieces of them in a good mood. After that, she calmly admired the scenery and continued to wait for Qu Moying.

Hong i stood at the window. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she pointed at a person below and said, “Lady, is the one over there Fourth Lady?”

Qu Xuexin stood up, walked to the window, and looked down. Sure enough, she saw Qu Moying and Yu Dong in the crowd.

The two of them ca here on foot!

The corners of her lips curled up silently. “Hong i, go downstairs and pick up Fourth Lady. Tell her that I am here.”

“Yes, Lady!” Hong i replied, turned around, and walked downstairs. She walked to the door of the tea house.

Just as she reached the door, Qu Moying also arrived with Yu Dong.

Hong i hurried forward and bowed. “Fourth Lady!”

“Where is your lady?” Qu Moying asked. Although she looked calm, her face was a bit pale. Yu Dong carefully protected her with a worried look on his face.

“Our lady is upstairs. Fourth Lady, please co this way!” Hong i said with a smile. She extended her hand and led the way.

Qu Moying followed her upstairs, but at the stairway, she t a large group of people coming down. The person in the front was Duke Qi’s Mansion’s Eldest Young Master, Qi Xiuran.

Qi Xiuran also saw Qu Moying because Qu Moying was dressed differently from ordinary people. After coming down the stairs, he walked up to Qu Moying and greeted her with a smile, “Fourth Lady Qu, I have finished reading the qin music score you lent . I will send it back to you in a few days. Thank you!”

Qu Moying bowed sideways and smiled. “No worries!”

Qi Xiuran smiled warmly. “My grandmother ntioned you that day. If you are free, you can co to see her!”

Qu Moying smiled and nodded. “I will!”

After saying these few words, they separated. When Qu Moying went upstairs, she heard voices from below.

“Is she Fourth Lady of Vice Minister Qu’s Mansion?”

“Yes, she is Fourth Lady Qu,” said Qi Xiuran.

“She didn’t seem to be neither talented nor beautiful. Although I couldn’t see her face, she should be quite good-looking.” Soone was comnting on Qu Moying’s appearance.

Qi Xiuran said gently with his pleasing voice, “We’d better not comnt on a young lady’s appearance. As for talent, the qin music score she lent is very good. Not many people can read it, so she should have a better understanding of music than most people.”

It was surprising that Qi Xiuran, who was from a martial family like Duke Qi’s Mansion, was actually so gentle and decent. He was indeed a nice person.

“However, that has nothing to do with .” Qu Moying thought as she walked up.

However, there was sothing she couldn’t expect even if she was reborn. Although she thought that she had nothing to do with him, things might turn out to be quite the opposite…

Seeing Qu Moying co in, Qu Xuexin sized her up before standing up and asking with concern, “Moying, why are you so late?”

She took two steps forward and grabbed Qu Moying’s hand. She happened to pinch the injured part of Qu Moying’s hand. It hurt so much that Qu Moying could not help but frown, and her face turned even paler.

Yu Dong hurriedly supported her from the side.

“Moying, what happened? What happened to your hand?” Seeing Qu Moying like this, Qu Xuexin imdiately understood. She carefully took Qu Moying’s hand and saw the wound on her wrist. Her face imdiately changed.

Yu Dong helped Qu Moying sit down on a chair at the side. Qu Moying’s hand slipped from Qu Xuexin’s hand. Then, she smiled slightly. “Eldest Sister, it’s nothing. I just accidentally bumped into soone on the road.”

“You bumped into soone? Have you seen the doctor? Did you get any other injuries?” Qu Xuexin anxiously asked. She wanted to reach out to grab Qu Moying’s hand, but she was afraid of hurting her. She looked quite worried.

“First Lady, sothing big nearly happened. Our lady…” Yu Dong couldn’t help but speak up, but Qu Moying gently interrupted him.

“Yu Dong, don’t talk nonsense. It’s nothing serious. It’s over now.”

“Lady…” Tears welled up in Yu Dong’s eyes.

“Alright, forget it. I’m fine now!” A faint smile appeared on Qu Moying’s face. She then said to Qu Xuexin, “Eldest Sister, the carriage is broken. I have asked the carriage driver to fix it. Let’s order another carriage to go back ho later.”

“It’s broken? What… what happened?” Qu Xuexin was so shocked that her hands trembled.

Qu Moying’s eyes fell on the table in front of her. There were many pastries on the table, and a few pieces of pastries were still hot. Apparently, they were just served. Her lips curved slightly, and a smile flashed through her eyes. “Eldest Sister, don’t worry. It’s over. I just accidentally bumped into Miss Yan.”

Qu Xuexin was getting angrier. “Miss Yan? Which family’s lady is she? Why was she so careless?”

Qu Moying looked at Qu Xuexin and said slowly, “She is Yan Yujiao of Earl Fengyang’s Mansion.”

“Yan Yujiao?” Hearing Qu Moying’s answer, Qu Xuexin suddenly raised her head with an angry face, “So it is Earl Fengyang’s Mansion again? It was Madam Li who tried to set you up by being a matchmaker for you and Third Young Master He. What are they trying to do now? They have kept plotting against you. What do they an? Moying, don’t be afraid. Let’s tell Grandmother when we return to the mansion. Grandmother will help us vent our anger!”
