Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 19

Chapter 19 Grab the Slim Hope of Survival

Qing He had been locked in the shed for a whole day. As she heard a sound coming through from the door, she got excited at once.

“Third Lady, I…” As the door was opened, Qing He looked over tearfully. Then the look on her face turned panicky at once. Because it was Fourth Lady who was standing by the door with a veil covering her face.

A few days ago, Qing He had still despised Qu Moying a lot. After all, Qing He was the personal maid of Third Lady, the most favored lady in this family and had never taken the Fourth Lady who had been left in the estate seriously. When Third Lady Qu had told her to set the fire, she hadn’t hesitated at all because no one would care what happened to Fourth Lady!

However, now Qing He didn’t dare to look down upon Qu Moying anymore. Moreover, when she looked at the latter, she even trembled.

Then she lowered her head in a hurry and said, “Fourth… Fourth Lady.”

Qu Moying walked over slowly to Qing He.

“I wonder how much money Qu Qiuyan has given you so that you are willing to sell your whole family?” Qu Moying looked down at Qing He and asked slowly.

“Wh… what?” Dumbfounded, Qing He raised her head.

“Don’t you understand my words? Do you think you’ll be able to survive after you are sold? Or do you think Second Madam will let go of you and your family?” The gentler Qu Moying’s voice was, the more terrified Qing He got. With Qing He’s feet getting limp, she collapsed on the ground.

“Fourth Lady… I… I never wanted to hurt you. It really wasn’t me.”

Qing He looked at Qu Moying with an imploring look, feeling extremely scared. Still, she didn’t admit what she had done.

Qu Moying looked to Qing He’s face through the thin veil with a cold look.

Qing He cried out in panic and tried to grab the hem of Qu Moying’s skirt. But the latter left indifferently, leaving those cold words, “Since you are so eager to seek death with your whole family, I don’t have any words for you then. You can just wait for your death.”

Seeing Qu Moying leaving with no hesitation, Qing He got panicky at once and didn’t dare to hold anything back and said with a trembling voice, “Fourth Lady, can you… can you save me?”

She was afraid that what Fourth Lady had said would come true.

During the time when Qing He had been locked here, she had done a lot of thinking and had already gone desperate. She was well aware of what kind of person Second Madam Qu and Third Lady were, so she had known she would be killed. But she still hoped that they could let go of her parents after she died.

However, she didn’t want to die or implicate her family if she could have a choice. Also, Fourth Lady seemed to have suggested that she might still have a chance to live. Now she just wanted to grab it.

“If you can be of help, maybe I can spare your life or your families’!” Qu Moying stopped and said that coldly without turning around.

“Fourth… Fourth Lady, what should I do?” Qing He knew what she meant and then said that with her teeth gritted. She realized clearly that this was her last chance.

“I’ll take care of your families for you.” Qu Moying still didn’t turn around and walked out straightly. She came here only to give Qing He a warning instead of telling the latter what to do.

Qu Moying would let Qing He get into the Crown Prince’s mansion without raising any suspicion.

Even the people from the Crown Prince’s family wouldn’t dig out anything.

Therefore, she didn’t need to tell Qing He where she would go. When the time was ready, Qu Moying would send someone to contact Qing He.

Now that she had Qing He’s families in her hands and the proof that Qing He had tried to kill a lady, Qing He wouldn’t dare to turn against her.

Qu Moying had to get to the inside of the Crown Prince’s family and Qing He happened to be the right person to do that for her.

Now that she was reborn, she had to revenge…

After that, Qu Moying left with Yu Chun without saying anything. If Qing He was clever enough, she would know what to do next. But if she was not that clever, then death served her just right.

Trying to murder a lady was a serious crime. Not a single noble family would tolerate a maid like her.

Qing He knelt to the ground and kowtowed to Qu Moying’s back three times reverently. Then, she raised her head with red eyes and wiped away her tears. She was glad that it was Fourth Lady who had said that to her. If the same words came out from Third Lady’s mouth, Qing He would never believe it. She was very clear how vicious Third Lady, the girl who had been brought up by Second Madam, was.

For her families and herself, she would do whatever Fourth Lady had told her…

When Qu Moying went back to Old Lady Qu’s Kangming House, Yu already lost the patience to wait. If Old Lady Qu hadn’t been watching her closely, she would have sent someone to inquire about what happened.

She assumed that Qu Moying should have already been hurt.

However, Qu Moying showed up right in front of her in the same clothes that she wore when she had left and looked clean and tidy. Yu was taken by surprise, but she reacted rather fast and stepped forward right away, asking with concern, “Fourth Lady, you are back. Did anything happen?”

“I just went to check on my third sister. What could happen?” Qu Moying lifted the corner of her mouth slightly and answered calmly. Then she stepped forward to give obeisance to Old Lady Qu.

“What did the doctor say?” Old Lady Qu was also worried about Qu Qiuyan’s face. Having waved at Qu Moying, she asked that.

Qu Moying took a step forward. Then Old Lady Qu held her hand and let her sit down.

“She has allergies, that’s all. The doctor already prescribed some medicine for her.” Qu Moying said. “I came back first. Third sister is asking the doctor the matters needing attention now.”

“Why did Yan ask that?” Yu asked in surprise.

“Why didn’t she? What else should she be concerned about besides that?”

Qu Moying asked with a smile.

Yu never thought Qu Moying would react so fast. Having given a hollow laugh, she said, “I was just worried about Yan’s condition. She shouldn’t be distracted now. So how’s the result?”

Her attitude changed so fast, which made her look very unnatural. Old Lady Qu couldn’t help glancing at her with doubt.

“I only know it’s skin allergy, but I’m not clear with the details. Second Madam, if you are still worried, you can go ask third sister!” Qu Moying said in a flat tone.

“Okay, I’ll go to see her now.” Yu had been wanting to go long ago. Hearing that, she stood up and bid farewell to Old Lady Qu at once.

After that, she left with her maids and senior housemaids.

‘Why did Qu Moying get back safely? She should have been hurt already at this moment! Yan is so soft. She totally messed up!’ Yu thought.

Seeing Yu leaving in panic, Qu Moying flashed a cold look in her eyes. Yu and her daughter were both malicious people. They would definitely plot something else.

However, next time, Qu Moying wouldn’t let them get away so easily.

“Old Lady Qu, the Young Master Yongning is waiting to see you.” A senior housemaid came in smilingly. After she gave obeisance to Old Lady Qu, she said that.

Qu Moying’s heart missed a beat. Then she lowered her head to cover the coldness in her eyes. Xu Lipeng, son of Marquis Yongning was her fiancé. This time, she actually came back to the Qu’s mansion just to discuss their wedding.

What a coincidence! She had wanted to go to him, and now he was here…
