No one knew better than Qu Moying about Yu and her daughter’s hatred for her. Since that fire they set, they couldn’t tolerate her existence anymore.

There was nothing she could change, so why would she be afraid of it? Or to say, her fear had no influence on the result. Her rebirth already meant the start of this path, stained by blood. The smile on her face contained anger and indifference that she usually wouldn’t show. Maybe the dark night or something else made her stop covering her real emotions with calmness.

Her words carried a trace of disdain and horrifying coldness. Still, the toughness she showed surprisingly made her look more pitiful.

After all, she was just a fourteen-year-old powerless girl, but what she had been through gave her tremendous anger, coldness, and even a spirit of rebellion. For the first time, Pei Yuanjun took a close look at this girl in front of him. He always knew she had a good appearance, looking weak and gentle. But right now, the darkness of night somehow added some unpredictable ruthlessness to her temperament.

She seemed to be the same person but somewhat different, making Pei Yuanjun feel strange. It was the first time that Pei Yuanjun observed a girl’s appearance so carefully. The girl in front of him seemed a bit more vital than usual, and this bit of vitality made her different than others. In his cold, dark eyes, the girl’s reflection became clearer…

In the dark night, after the misunderstanding between Qu Qiuyan and Pei Yusheng was removed, they continued to talk for a while. As a well-educated noble lady, Qu Qiuyan had to excuse herself to leave first while Pei Yusheng showed an affectionate look on his face. Then he walked Qu Qiuyan out and headed to the front yard.

Qu Zhizhen walked Pei Yusheng to the gate in the front yard while holding the butler’s hand, pretending he invited Pei Yusheng for dinner, which had nothing to do with Qu Qiuyan.

But actually, he only played his role at the beginning and in the end.

The carriage from Lord Jing’s mansion had been waiting outside the gate. Pei Yusheng got into the carriage, but Qu Zhizhen still stood at the gate until the carriage disappeared in his sight. Then he finally headed back, holding the butler’s arm with a much more relaxed look on his face than before, almost like a faint smile.

“Grandmother, Moying won’t manage the mansion with me?” When Qu Moying visited the Old Lady, she heard Qu Qiuyan’s voice upon entry. But there was no pause in her movement as she continued to walk up and curtsy to the Old Lady.

The Old Lady seemed to be in a good mood and pointed at a seat aside to let her sit down.

Qu Moying looked up at Qu Qiuyan, who was smiling, and curtsied to her too. “Third Sister,” she called.

“Moying, you came late today. I’ve been chatting with Grandmother for a while already,” Qu Qiuyan’s voice sounded delightful as she smiled at Qu Moying as if nothing had happened between them.

“I was too tired yesterday and overslept. Please forgive me, Grandmother,” Qu Moying explained.

“Have a seat first!” The Old Lady nodded carelessly and let Qu Moying sit down.

Once Qu Moying sat on the chair, Qu Moying immediately asked with concern, “Moying, I heard…my cousin… Did she find you trouble again?”

She seemed to be embarrassed when asking about Yu Qingmeng as if she was feeling guilty.

“Lady…Concubine Yu did come to me before. I don’t know what she wanted to do, but she tried to move as close as possible to me,” Qu Moying said in a soft voice as a sharp look crossed her eyes. Qu Qiuyan could always get firsthand information like this.

“Moying, just ignore her. I used to think of her as a good person…and never expected her to frame us two. She doesn’t need to visit us anymore. Only seeing her will make me feel angry.” Qu Qiuyan’s face was full of annoyance and rage.

She talked as if she would thoroughly cut off her relationship with Yu Qingmeng.

Meanwhile, her words indicated that Yu Qingmeng set her up in the Dabei Temple and tried to frame Qu Moying in the Eastern Palace.

The Old Lady was pleased by Qu Qiuyan’s determination to distance herself from the Yu Family. She never liked Yu and always thought Yu was a misbehaved and rude woman. Qu Qiuyan’s current behavior was what she hoped to see the most. She kept nodding at Qu Qiuyan since Qu Qiuyan finally had a good grasp of people around her and wouldn’t be influenced by them anymore.

Qu Moying slightly lifted her eyes and looked at Qu Qiuyan through her veil, feeling ironic about Qu Qiuyan’s behavior. The Old Lady didn’t know the truth, but both of them did, aware of the hostility between them due to Qu Qiuyan’s move in the Dabei Temple and Qu Moying’s counterattack.

However, Qu Qiuyan totally changed her attitude and treated Qu Moying like her dear sister now, clearly holding her own secret intention. As Qu Moying expected, Qu Qiuyan was not a simpleminded person. The impulsive and inconsiderate move she made before was only because she underestimated Qu Moying, thinking she could get rid of her in one go.

Qu Qiuyan in her current state was dangerous!

Qu Moying’s lips quietly curled up. “Third Sister, the past is in the past. I don’t want to care about it anymore.”

“How can we just let her be and do nothing? I really saw her as my real sister before. First Sister and Second Sister both live in the East Mansion and rarely come here. Moying, you grew up in the village and just returned to our mansion. If you take off your veil, I probably can’t even recognize who you are. She was the only person I was close with, but I never saw her true colors,” Qu Qiuyan sounded enraged.

“I told your mother a long time ago that her niece didn’t need to be so close with you. After all, a cousin is incomparable with a real sister,” said the Old Lady.

“Grandmother, I’ve known it now. My mother had the wrong idea before, which almost led me to the wrong path. Grandmother, that won’t happen again,” Qu Qiuyan said with an honest smile.

Her straightforward words amused the Old Lady. The stern look on her face softened as a pleased smile showed up.

The Old Lady more believed that Yu was not a good-hearted woman. But her sickness came in time to give Qu Qiuyan a good lesson. Otherwise, Qu Qiuyan would still act like a naive, spoiled lady who only knew helping her mother and totally neglected her own family’s honor and benefit.

“Moying, I heard your eyes will recover soon. They just can’t be exposed under strong light, right?” after pleasing the Old Lady, Qu Qiuyan turned to Qu Moying with a smile and pretended to ask without any intention.

“Yes.” Qu Moying nodded at her.

“Moying, since we are indoor right now, and the light is not strong here, can you take off your veil and let me and Grandmother see your face? You lived in the village for a long time and only had short stays here during festivals. Every time I see you, you always wear the veil. Grandmother and I don’t even know what you look like now.”

Qu Qiuyan’s face was full of curiosity. Then she said thoughtfully, “I know your eyes will soon recover. But will it be better to have an Imperial Doctor check on you again?”

Her suggestion touched the spot in the Old Lady’s heart. Qu Moying’s eye problem had always been a worry for the Old Lady. Although Qu Moying kept telling her that they would recover soon since she came back, she still felt concerned. After Qu Moying’s engagement was broken off, she had to find another one later. If her eyes still hadn’t recovered by then, she wouldn’t have good choices in terms of her marriage.

“Ying, can you take off your veil here?” The Old Lady’s amiable eyes fell on Qu Moying’s tiny face. To be honest, she indeed couldn’t remember what her granddaughter looked like.

When Qu Moying was still a kid, she would do whatever the adults told her to and take off her veil obediently. But ever since she grew up, she had never removed the veil on her face once. After Qu Qiuyan mentioned it, the Old Lady started to feel unsettled again, fearing that Qu Moying would blindly listen to one doctor’s words and be too optimistic about her eyes’ situation. Inwardly, the Old Lady agreed that she could have another doctor check on her again just in case.

An Imperial Doctor from the royal palace could fit the job better than anyone.

“Grandmother…I’m sorry I can’t. After all, it’s still daytime…” Qu Moying put on a reluctant look and rejected the Old Lady after thinking for a few seconds.

“Moying, do your eyes still hurt after you take off the veil?” before the Old Lady could say anything, Qu Qiuyan hurriedly asked.

Hearing her words, the Old Lady pulled a long face, fearing that Qu Moying’s eyes situation was not as positive as she said before. Otherwise, why she couldn’t take off her veil indoor where the light was pretty dull?

“They will hurt a little bit. Not much, but it will make me feel a bit uncomfortable. My eyes may get sore and start to tear up. In the worst situation, I can’t really open my eyes,” Qu Moying explained.

“Isn’t…Isn’t it the same as before?” Qu Qiuyan sounded shocked. “I heard from Grandmother that your eyes were like this before. Do they really get better? If they haven’t recovered, and you keep delaying seeing a doctor, this will be terrible for you. Everyone outside says Moying is blind, but she indeed can see things.”

What Qu Qiuyan said was exactly what the Old Lady worried about. All of a sudden, her eyes even turned red because of anxiety. “Ying, don’t worry. It will be alright. This kind of problem will always take a long time to solve. If this doctor can’t do his job, we will make you go see another one. I will ask your father to invite an Imperial Doctor home. I heard one in the royal palace is an expert in eye problems.”

“Grandmother, I’m really fine. My eyes are indeed getting better, and the uncomfortable feeling has receded. But the doctor said I need to take good care of them, so I can’t take the veil off right now. Please forgive me, Grandmother,” Qu Moying said softly. Her watery eyes glanced over Qu Qiuyan’s face as she figured out Qu Qiuyan’s intention immediately.

Qu Qiuyan tried to find any possible evidence to prove that she was not Qu Moying.

Qu Moying was not afraid of showing her face to Qu Qiuyan, but it was not the best timing yet. On the other hand, she would never give Qu Qiuyan what she wanted so easily.

This was the best way to mislead Qu Qiuyan and make her believe Qu Moying was trying to cover the truth up, which was a good part of her future plan…

Sometimes, the harder one tried to hide something, the more people would believe that this person was lying.

“Grandmother, we can’t let Moying think like that and trust her own judgment. After all, she is not a doctor. If the doctor treating her right now really can’t do his job, we’d better replace him with another one immediately. Grandmother, I will go tell Father about it and ask him to invite another doctor. This can’t be delayed any longer.” Qu Qiuyan surely knew how to play her role as a thoughtful sister.

The Old Lady nodded at her and turned to say to Qu Moying with a serious look, “Ying, let’s do like this. Regardless of how you feel, seeing a doctor won’t harm you.”

“Grandmother…” Qu Moying said anxiously as her eyes fell on Qu Qiuyan with a trace of irritation.

Qu Qiuyan showed her a bright smile and chimed in softly to comfort her, “Moying, let’s do it like this.”

While they were talking, Granny Wu suddenly rushed in, walked behind the Old Lady, and whispered something to her. The Old Lady immediately pulled a long face and frowned at Qu Moying as her eyes darkened!
