Chapter 306



Qu Qiuyan didn’t expect Mrs. He to arrive so quickly. Her face darkened. She wanted to refuse to see Mrs. He with the excuse that she was not feeling well.

When she heard the noises outside, Mrs. He had already rushed in with her maids.

As soon as she entered the room and saw Qu Qiuyan, Mrs. He sneered. She pointed at Qu Qiuyan and scolded, “Third Lady Qu, you are really vicious!”

Qu Qiuyan composed herself, forced a smile, and asked in surprise, “Mrs. He, what are you saying? I don’t understand what you mean. Why are you still in our mansion? Didn’t you just say that you were going back?”

Since Mrs. He was Lord Jing’s aunt, Qu Qiuyan did not dare to offend her.

“Qu Qiuyan, you are still pretending. Fortunately, Lord Jing does not intend to marry you. If he marries you, you will definitely make Lord Jing Mansion a mess!” Mrs. He had a bad temper, and she wanted to slap Qu Qiuyan, but for fear of offending Lord Jing, she held back.

If they were in He Mansion, she would have slapped Qu Qiuyan long ago.

“Mrs. He, I don’t understand what you are talking about.” At this time, Qu Qiuyan could only pretend that she knew nothing.

Mrs. He looked around and saw the maid who had just run away in panic. She walked over and gave the maid two hard slaps on the face. The maid was slapped so hard that she took two steps back and sat heavily on the ground. “This bitch is your maid, isn’t she? She looks quite decent, but look what she did!”

Seeing her maid being slapped, Qu Qiuyan couldn’t hold back. They were in her place. If she kept showing the white feather, she would appear to have a guilty conscience.

Her face darkened slightly, and her smile faded. “Mrs. He, I respect you just for the sake of your seniority. But you are going too far. She is my maid, and I sent her to look for Moying just now. Why did you speak like I did something bad?”

She knew that Mrs. He should have seen this maid just now, and she hated this maid for exposing herself.

But it was not the time to blame the maid now.

Mrs. He pointed at Qu Qiuyan and scolded, “Well, well… Qu Qiuyan, you changed your words, huh? Fine, I will talk to Her Grace and Lord Jing about this when I go back so that they can see through your vicious nature. Do you want to marry Lord Jing? Dream on!”

After saying that, she turned around and left. Because of Lord Jing, she could not beat Qu Qiuyan, but she would not let Qu Qiuyan have a good time. She had heard from her son that Qu Qiuyan would definitely enter Lord Jing Mansion, but her position was not settled yet, and that was related to everything in the future.

Mrs. He was so angry now that she decided not to let Qu Qiuyan have a good time in Lord Jing Mansion in the future.

Seeing that Mrs. He was about to leave, Qu Qiuyan ignored her curse and anxiously stood up to ask, “Mrs. He, wait a moment. Did Moying say something that made you misunderstand me?”

If it was in the past, she wouldn’t care about what Mrs. He said. But recently, Lord Jing’s attitude changed, and he was very indifferent to her. Moreover, her reputation had worsened, which was because of Yu and herself.

Recently, Qu Qiuyan had been in a panic, fearing that her marriage with Lord Jing would end up in vain.

“Don’t you know what Fourth Lady Qu said? Don’t you know that Fourth Lady Qu has a Discipline Granny from the palace? Don’t you know the Discipline Granny is sent over by a Dowager Consort?” Asked Mrs. He coldly. She glanced at Qu Qiuyan and continued, “Do you have a Discipline Granny? It seems that you don’t deserve one. Are you jealous? You look ugly when you are filled with jealousy. Lord Jing is right. You should feel gratified whatever position he gives you.”

Mrs. He turned around and was about to leave.

She was filled with anger, but she couldn’t flare up now, so she could only scold and belittle Qu Qiuyan.

Being scolded, Qu Qiuyan flushed with shame and anger. What Mrs. He said was like a slap on her face. She blurted out, “Mrs. He, don’t go too far!”

“Who do you think you are? How dare you covet Lord Jing?” Mrs. He glanced at her, sneered, and strode away with her maids.

Qu Qiuyan shivered a few times, and she almost fainted. She had never been so despised by others like this. What Mrs. He meant was that Qu Qiuyan had no sense of shame and offered herself at the feet of Lord Jing.

If this were to spread out, Qu Qiuyan would be totally disgraced.

Qu Qiuyan had her own pride in front of other noble ladies. The thing she was most proud of was that Lord Jing fell in love with her. Although she could not compare with some noble ladies in terms of family background, she was complacent about Lord Jing taking a fancy to her. However, Mrs. He shattered her pride.

The most unbearable truth was revealed!

It had always been Qu Qiuyan who went after Lord Jing.

Qu Qiuyan was an unmarried lady, and she had never heard such humiliating words. She was so angry, but she had to hold back, and she almost had an internal injury.

Her fingers trembled as she pointed in the direction of Qianyue House. She looked both sinister and resentful, and her beautiful face was completely distorted.

Mrs. He’s attitude changed so greatly, and it must be because of Qu Moying. Qu Qiuyan felt the taste of blood in her throat, and she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She held Qing Ju’s hand, panted, and said in hatred, “Help me to my father’s study. I will wait there.”

She could not swallow her anger…

Qu Zhizhen didn’t know what was going on in the mansion at the moment, but his fingers were also slightly trembling, and his body was numb. The teacup in his hand was warm, but he was still terrified.

He finally managed to control himself.

He had just been back from West Prison, and he saw some prisoners covered all over with blood there. Although he had composed himself now, he couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear, and his scalp went numb.

He took a deep breath to get rid of the smell of blood, and he looked at Pei Yuanjun, who was sitting on a high seat.

Pei Yuanjun wore a black brocade rode with golden patterns. The clothes set off Pei Yuanjun’s beautiful face. His black hair was tied up, and he looked over leisurely as if he had just been back from a flower-admiring trip. There was even a smile in his eyes, which was more frightening.

His narrowed eyes revealed a strange and bloodthirsty chill. Even though he was smiling, Qu Zhizhen felt like he was in a cold hell.

Qu Zhizhen thought he was quite bold. He had been mentally prepared before coming here. Moreover, he was Vice Minister of Works, which was not a low position. But at this time, he was still panicked.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at Pei Yuanjun’s flawless face. Once again, he forcefully calmed himself down and forced a smile. “Your Highness, I’m here for my son. My son went to He Mansion to talk to Third Young Master He, but he doesn’t have any dealings with Third Young Master He in the past.”

“So, this was the only time?” Pei Yuanjun smiled and reached out to touch a jar of water lotus on the table with a gentle expression.

Qu Zhizhen carefully looked at the water lotus. It was beautiful, but his pupils shrank when he looked at it. He remembered that Pei Yuanjun pointed to a lotus pond in West Prison and said that there were bodies buried there, which was why the flowers were blooming beautifully.

This water lotus was also so beautiful and exquisite. Could it be that it was fertilized with the human body too?

The thought sent shivers down his spine!

He forced himself to calm down and looked away from the water lotus. He didn’t dare to hide it and smiled bitterly. “In fact, our mansion was discussing a marriage proposal with He Mansion. The other party was Third Young Master He. My son got angry when he heard that Third Young Master He was making a fool of our mansion, so he went to He Mansion to seek justice. Then, he happened to be taken here by you, Your Highness.”

“A marriage proposal? Who in your mansion was he going to marry? I heard that the Third Lady in Qu Mansion should be the next to get married. So, was Third Lady Qu going to be married with Third Young Master He?”

Pei Yuanjun said lazily with a gentle smile on his face.

However, Qu Zhizhen did not dare to say yes. He shook his head and explained, “It was… not her. It was…”

He wanted to tell Pei Yuanjun that it was Qu Moying, but Pei Yuanjun interrupted him, “Why wasn’t it Third Lady Qu? Second Lady Qu has entered Lord Jing Mansion, so the next one should be Third Lady Qu. Is Third Lady Qu already engaged with someone?”

Was she engaged?

Qu Zhizhen could not give a firm answer. Although they had a tacit understanding with Lord Jing about the marriage, it had not turned into reality yet. Since Lord Jing didn’t bring it to the public, he did not dare to let others know. Even if many people had known about it, he did not dare to speak nonsense.

He could only give a wry smile and said, “Your Highness, it’s very humorous of you. Qiuyan hasn’t been behaving herself recently, and she is reflecting herself at home, so this proposed marriage is not hers.”

Qu Zhizhen could only say this. If he was facing someone else, he could suppress the other party by mentioning Lord Jing. However, Pei Yuanjun was Lord Jing’s uncle, and he had the emperor’s favor and trust. Even the Crown Prince had to be respectful to him, not to mention Lord Jing.

“She hasn’t been behaving herself? Did she behave badly in your mansion or outside the mansion? I heard Lord Jing mention this before, but I just casually listened and didn’t probe into it.”

Pei Yuanjun’s sleepy eyes widened with curiosity, as if he was really surprised.

Qu Zhizhen’s face turned red. He just casually said so to shift the topic from Qu Qiuyan and put the blame onto Qu Moying, but he didn’t expect Pei Yuanjun to further question him.

“It’s no big deal. She argued with her sister… It’s a joke to outsiders. It’s my fault. I don’t have a powerful wife to take good care of them.” Qu Zhizhen could only blame himself. After all, he was an adult. It did not matter if he had a bad reputation. Moreover, he did not intend to marry again.

Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows and asked, “She argued with her sister? You mean she argued with Fourth Lady Qu. Vice Minister Qu, I wonder who do you think is right between the two of them?”

Qu Zhizhen was speechless. Pei Yuanjun was a powerful top-ranking official, so he should be concerned about national affairs. But why was he so interested in women’s affairs like a gossip monger?

He did not dare to speak bluntly to Pei Yuanjun. He could only say vaguely, “My third daughter was brought up in the mansion, but my fourth daughter had been living in a village before, so she is not sensible enough.”

These words were clearly biased towards Qu Qiuyan.

“Bang!” A loud noise shocked Qu Zhizhen. He looked up quickly, only to see Pei Yuanjun’s sneer and gloomy eyes. He was frightened.

“Your… Your Highness…”
