Chapter 35



‘I have another servant in the village?’ Qu Moying thought that as she headed back, but she just couldn’t remember anyone.

Granny Wu and Yu Chun also had no clue.

There was a doctor whom Ji Hanyue had invited for Qu Moying. However, that guy was always on the move and shouldn’t be in the village right now. The old granny there was too old to travel over here. Qu Moying really didn’t know who would come to meet her.

As the three of them walked into the room confusedly, they saw a pretty maid who was around fifteen. Then they were all stunned!

“My lady!” Her high-pitched voice sounded a bit different from the other maid’s, but Qu Moying couldn’t tell what the difference was.

“Who are you?” Qu Moying was sure she had never met this person before. As she waved her hand, Granny Miao stepped back to guard the door.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Fourth Lady.” The maid changed to a sharper voice.

This time, even Yu Chun could tell something was wrong, then the look on her face changed at once.

Qu Moying was familiar with that kind of voice. The way she gave obeisance to Qu Moying was not the same as the other maids too. Qu Moying gasped. That… that was an eunuch?

“Don’t be nervous, my lady. Lord Yun sent me here to serve you. From now on, I’ll be your maid!” The eunuch lowered his voice, which made him sound like a woman with a high-pitched voice. It was a great disguise, so it was hard for those who didn’t know who he was to tell if he was a man or a woman.

So, Lord Yun had sent her an eunuch?

Qu Moying didn’t know how to react. She had wonder what kind of people this lord would send to her, but she never expected an eunuch would come.

“Lord Yun said that you could get someone else if you are not satisfied with me. My name is Yu Dong and I used to work in the village with sister Yu Chun. My lady, you used to live in a remote village and you barely had visitors. You could tell everyone that I was saved by you just like Granny Miao. Then I just didn’t want to leave. I haven’t arrived at the village for long, so the people there didn’t know me.”

Yu Dong said that with a smile.

His speech did hold water. In order to let her ‘recuperate’ well, the Qu’s people had built a yard in the village which was very remote. Qu Moying had brought some of her people there. She had had a lot of servants before. Later, most of them had begged Yu to let them leave. So, fewer and fewer people remained there.

At last, only Granny Gu who had been Qu Moying’s wet nurse and Yu Chun stayed. After that, Granny Miao had come. Actually, Yu Chun was not a servant from the Qu’s Mansion. Her father had died and her mother had left, leaving her alone in the village. Granny Gu had pitied her and kept her there. After Yu Chun had grown up, she had started to serve Qu Moying.

Yu Dong’s explanation sounded very convincing. He had come up with such a flawless speech in such a short period of time, no one would be able to dig out anything.

“Yu Dong, since you are here, you can serve me from now on.” Qu Moying didn’t reject him and said smilingly. Since this eunuch had been sent here by Lord Yun, he would deliver the latter’s message too.

“Yes, my lady. I’m at your service at any time.” Yu Dong said with a smile, seeming to be satisfied with his position as a maid.

Qu Moying, speechless, took Yu Dong to the main room to meet Old Lady Qu. Then Qu Moying explained that Yu Dong used to serve her when she was in the village. Also, Yu Dong’s name was similar to Yu Chun’s. Old Lady Qu didn’t raise any suspect and asked Granny Gu to register Yu Dong’s name immediately. Then, Yu Dong became one of Qu Moying’s two personal maids.

As for the other servants, Old Lady Qu told Qu Moying to select them by herself.

After Qu Moying had gone back to her room, she pondered for a while and then gave some instructions to Yu Chun and Yu Dong. After that, She went to Qianyue House with Granny Miao again.

It was not convenient for her to live in Old Lady Qu’s yard. She had to move out.

Most of the objects in the room of Qianyue House didn’t need to be replaced, so Qu Moying told the servants to leave them there. She had heard that Yu had decorated this room carefully with these objects, some of which were taken away from Qu Qiuyan.

It was said that Qu Qiuyan had been unhappy about that at that time.

Now all these things belonged to Qu Moying now. Yu must be furious about that. So Qu Moying decided to keep them.

After a busy day, Qu Moying moved into Qianyue House at night and became the master of that place.

What’s more, it was a great thing that Yu Dong could show up before Yu Qingmeng left…

That night, Yu Qingmeng left sadly. When she walked out, her eyebrows knitted with tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful. She could only walk with the support of her maid and even had difficulty taking a step.

After she got into the carriage, the pitiful look on her face disappeared while her eyes were filled with depression. Now she could only marry into Marquis Yongning’s family by ‘getting pregnant’.

Her aunt had given her a lot of advice, but none was more useful than this one. This idea had occurred to her suddenly when she had overheard two maids’ conversation.

When she was walking toward the door, she heard the voices of two maids behind the rockery. If she hadn’t heard Young Master Yongning’s name, she wouldn’t have stopped.

Back in the old days, her aunt had always ordered someone to see her off every time she left. However, today, Yu didn’t send anyone to go with her.

The two maids’ words were quite offensive. If it were in the past, Yu Qingmeng would have punished them fiercely to throw her weight about. However, today, she had only stood there and listened to them quietly.

“Did you see Young Master Yongning today? He’s so handsome! His children will be pretty and wealthy!”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Young Master Yongning doesn’t have any kids. If he does, the mother of his child must be someone special. I heard that a minister’s son has just taken in a girl as his noble concubine. I heard that woman was pregnant when she got married. But the minister’s son was already engaged.”

“That’s so humiliating.”

“What’s so humiliating about that? The most important thing is to get into that family. I heard the girl’s family was not powerful. As long as she could become a noble concubine, she will eventually become a madam after the first madam dies in the future.”

“So, you mean, that’s a good thing?”

“Of course that’s a good idea. The child is the most valued one in a family, especially for the elders…”

Their voices grew fainter and fainter. Yu Qingmeng, face turning red and pale, started to move ahead after a long while.

After she had got on the carriage, she pondered for a long time. With a gloomy look on her face, she touched her belly. She didn’t know if she was pregnant now. She shouldn’t have been pregnant, but now she really wanted a child.

She wanted to marry into Marquis Yongning’s family, not the He’s family. Her reputation would be ruined if she went to the He’s family and she might even die in the end. However, what if she went to Marquis Yongning’s family?

It was not like she didn’t stand a chance at all!

“Let’s go! To Marquis Yongning’s Mansion!” Yu Qingmeng, teeth gritted, said that. A long delay might cause trouble. She couldn’t just give up now, because she believed that Xu Lipeng still had feelings for her.

For all these years, she had been waiting for him. She even let Xu Lipeng take her virginity. Now Xu Lipeng couldn’t just abandon her like this.

“My lady, you can’t go there. Young Master Xu won’t meet you now.” Ju Xiang said worriedly.

“If he doesn’t meet me, I’ll go to Madam Yongning.” Yu Qingmeng said with her teeth gnashed. She had to meet Xu Lipeng today. She didn’t believe that Xu Lipeng would be so cruel to her. They had already slept together. If he didn’t want her, she would kill herself in front of him.

Thinking of that, she touched her belly as if there really was a baby inside.

The carriage moved on and at last stopped by the back door of Marquis Yongning’s Mansion. Ju Xiang knocked on the door as she usually did. After the door was opened, the senior housemaid who guarded there saw Ju Xiang whom she was very familiar with. Then she let Yu Qingmeng in without reporting anyone.

After they got in, the senior housemaid peeked out the back door cautiously. It was already dark and there was no other one at the back door. Then the senior housemaid closed the door again.

Young Master Xu had told the senior housemaid to let Yu Qingmeng get in directly in case the latter would be found by others if she stayed outside for too long.

“Lady Yu, do you need me to take you there?” The senior housemaid said fawningly.

Yu Qingmeng shook her head. It was better that no one would know what she was about to say. This place was not far from Xu Lipeng’s study and she was familiar with the road.

She went to the study with Ju Xiang. It was getting dark, but luckily she could still see the road.

The door of the study was partly opened. Yu Qingmeng didn’t see anyone else except for Xu Lipeng and his pageboy there. She calmed herself down while listening to their conversation. Then she tried her best to pull herself together and walked in slowly.

The pageboy was reporting something to Xu Lipeng. Hearing the sound by the door, he turned around at once. He was stunned to see Yu Qingmeng and couldn’t believe his eyes.

The pageboy couldn’t believe Yu Qingmeng still dared to come after what had happened to her.

“Young Master!” Yu Qingmeng cried the moment she stepped in. After she walked to Xu Lipeng with a pitiful look, she knelt down slowly and held Xu Lipeng’s legs, “Young Master, help… I… I really was set up. How could I… I… fall in love with… someone like He Dapang. I… I am yours, Young Master. You can’t watch me being driven to death by someone else.”

The clever pageboy took a few steps back and walked out. Then he saw Ju Xiang who was sort of his old acquaintance. Having chuckled to her, he stepped back and stood still.

Ju Xiang also took a few steps back with her eyes falling on the door worriedly. Still, she didn’t dare to come any closer.

Xu Lipeng lowered his head to look at Yu Qingmeng with an obscure look. The expression on his face was quite sullen. He had planned to stay away from Yu Qingmeng forever and not care about if she ended up alive or dead.

Never did he realize that Yu Qingmeng would be so shameless to come to him. Before he could tell the senior housemaid by the back door to stop Yu Qingmeng from coming in, the woman just sneaked in by herself.

However, now it was difficult to handle this thing.

He did have a thing for Yu Qingmeng and had wanted to break off the engagement and married her. However, his mother had turned him down. Although Yu Qingmeng wouldn’t help him in his career, he still liked her. So he had planned to marry Yu Qingmeng and made her his second wife. After all, he believed a girl like Qu Moying should feel honored that he was willing to marry her and that the Qu’s family would agree to any condition he named.

However, things had changed too fast. He didn’t want to break off the engagement, but the Qu’s famliy did. Qu Moying was not interested in him? That really drove him mad.

He was always favored by women but that blind and ugly girl didn’t like him. This time he truly felt angry. After that, his mother had said something to him. Then, he finally agreed to marry Qu Moying. She was just a decoration to him. If she could behave herself, he would let her stay for a few years longer. If she couldn’t, he would destroy her and no one would criticize him.

As for Yu Qingmeng, since she couldn’t be his wife, he could make her his noble concubine.
