Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 289 – Qu Xuexin Bit The Hook

Chapter 289 Qu Xuexin Bit the Hook

Qu Xuexin had indeed turned back as soon as Qu Moying was out of her sight.

When she returned to the place where they had previously seen Third Young Master He, she could see no one from the window. Qu Xuexin secretly stood behind the window and looked inside.

Sure enough, she saw Third Young Master He sitting there. The person sitting opposite him should be her Second Uncle. From her angle, she could not see her Second Uncle’s face, but she could see Third Young Master He very clearly.

Third Young Master He was good-looking and talented. At first glance, he looked like an elegant gentleman. He seemed to sense that someone was looking at him. He turned his eyes and met Qu Xuexin’s eyes. Then, he smiled at Qu Xuexin.

Qu Xuexin’s face immediately blushed, and she shyly lowered her eyes. She did not dare to peep at him anymore and left in a hurry.

In her panic, she accidentally stepped on a stone and almost fell.

The maid hurried to help her, and the two of them made even bigger noises.

Inside the room, Qu Zhizhen had already heard the noise outside. Seeing Third Young Master He turned around with a smile, Qu Zhizhen knew that he must be satisfied with his daughter. He nodded secretly. In fact, he felt that it was a pity to marry his fourth daughter to Third Young Master He.

However, his mother insisted on doing so, and he had no reason to object.

To him, Qu Moying deserved someone better than Third Young Master He. Third Young Master He didn’t deserve her. Nevertheless, he was still better than Old Lady Qu’s grandnephew.

Although Xiao Hanyuan’s family background was not bad, how could it compare with Noble Consort He’s family?

Xiao Hanyuan was talented, but Third Young Master He was also talented. After the latter passed the Imperial Examination, he would have a great future with Noble Consort He and Lord Jing’s support. How could Xiao Hanyuan compare with him?

Thinking of this, he felt it was a pity for Qu Moying. She was so beautiful that she could even enter the palace.

However, there was no better choice at the moment. He felt that Third Young Master He was not bad. He had specially invited Third Young Master He over, saying that he wanted the Old Lady to take a look and also to let Qu Moying see for herself. He said that Qu Moying was the one to get married, and he would not let her marry someone whom she had never seen.

Old Lady Qu was satisfied with these words, which was why Third Young Master He was invited to the mansion today.

They didn’t make it clear at the moment, but they both knew the purpose of the meeting today. It was for the two to take a look at each other.

Seeing Third Young Master He’s smile, Qu Zhizhen knew that Third Young Master He should be satisfied. Qu Zhizhen was pleased but not that satisfied. If it was possible, he did not want to marry Qu Moying to Third Young Master He.

After a few more words, Third Young Master He got up to take his leave.

Qu Zhizhen asked his butler to send Third Young Master He out.

After expressing his thanks, Third Young Master He turned around and walked out. He did not mind Qu Moying’s eye disease. In fact, it would not affect him at all.

Anyway, their marriage might not last long. Even if it would last long, it was not a bad thing for him to have such a blind wife. What he did would not be seen by her, so he could go his own way without restraint. It was good for him to have such a wife as a cover.

As for the other lady he had just seen, he did not know if she was Third Lady Qu. If she was, he did not dare to treat her casually. After all, Third Lady Qu was Lord Jing’s woman.

However, he did not think the lady he just saw was Third Lady Qu. He had heard that Third Lady Qu had an outstanding appearance and was one of the most beautiful women in the capital. Although the lady he saw just now looked not bad, she was still a little lacking compared with the top beauties in the capital.

Third Young Master He thought as he walked, but when he walked past a moon-shaped gate, he bumped into someone coming from the opposite.

It was a woman. After being hit, she took two steps back and fell heavily to the ground, letting out a painful cry.

“First Lady.” The butler hurried forward.

The maid behind Qu Xuexin came forward to help her up. Maybe it was because of the pain from the fall that Qu Xuexin’s eyes were red, and she looked aggrieved and pitiful.

“First Lady Qu, I’m really sorry for being in a hurry just now.” Third Young Master He smiled and took a step back. He looked up at Qu Xuexin and asked, “First Lady Qu, are you injured? Shall I send for a doctor?”

At this time, Qu Xuexin found that it was Third Young Master He who bumped into her. She immediately blushed, lowered her head slightly, and bowed sideways. “I’m fine.”

“How could you be fine? You fell heavily.” Third Young Master He turned to the butler and said politely, “Could you please send for a doctor?”

Since Third Young Master He had said so, how could the butler refuse? He hurriedly nodded and went to find a doctor.

Third Young Master He turned to look around. Then, he pointed at a pavilion on the side and asked, “First Lady Qu, why don’t you sit there for a while and wait for the doctor?”

There was a gauze hanging in the pavilion. It did not touch the floor, and it fluttered as the breeze blew. The pavilion was on the side of the rockery, and it was a graceful place.

“Thank you, young master.” Qu Xuexin said shyly.

Third Young Master He went over first. Qu Xuexin held the hand of the maid and limped over. Then, she sat down at the stone table.

The clever maid said she would leave to bring tea and snacks over.

“First Lady Qu, I saw you just now. I wonder what you were doing behind the window of the hall?” Third Young Master He asked Qu Xuexin with a smile as if he did not know anything.

Although Qu Xuexin was not particularly outstanding, she could still be considered a beautiful woman. She came to offer herself to him, so he thought he could not be blamed.

He had “accidentally” met many girls before. Many beautiful maids in his mansion created chances to “encounter” him. Some of them directly bumped into him, which saved him a lot of trouble.

However, those were maids. He did not expect a noble lady to bump into him. It really surprised him.

“I came here with Moying just now. It was grandmother’s idea.” Qu Xuexin blushed even more. She was extremely shy.

Third Young Master He thought for a moment and asked gently, “Fourth Lady Qu? I only saw you just now, but I didn’t notice Fourth Lady Qu. Was the one who wore eye veil Fourth Lady Qu?”

“Yes, that was Moying.” Qu Xuexin nodded.

Third Young Master He said regretfully, “So that’s Fourth Lady Qu. First Lady Qu, I thought she was you.”

Qu Xuexin bit her lips and explained in a low voice, “How could that be? Moying has an eye disease and she is still wearing an eye veil. She doesn’t look like me.”

“It seems that my vision is really poor. First Lady Qu, I’m sorry. I thought she was you just now.” Third Young Master He sighed, and he seemed to be disappointed.

Qu Xuexin said in a delicate voice, “Moying only has an eye disease, but she is better than me in everything else.”

“No. First Lady Qu, you are the most outstanding one in my eyes. Fourth Lady Qu has an eye disease. I wonder if her eye disease can be cured?” Third Young Master asked after praising Qu Xuexin.

“I heard that her eye disease can be cured, but she hasn’t been able to take off the eye veil after being back to the mansion for such a long time. As for the specifics, I don’t know.”

Qu Xuexin said gently.

Third Young Master He frowned, looking very dissatisfied, “She is a blind girl, and she is not outstanding. First Lady Qu, she can’t compare with you at all!”

Hearing this, Qu Xuexin lowered her head and dared not look at Third Young Master He anymore.

While they were talking, the maid came back. When she went out just now, she met a young maid, and she asked the young maid to bring some tea and snacks over. She quietly stood behind Qu Xuexin.

“I think Moying’s eye disease could be cured.” Although Qu Xuexin defended Qu Moying, she didn’t sound to be firm, as if she herself did not believe it either.

Third Young Master He looked at Qu Xuexin carefully again and sighed without saying a word.

Qu Xuexin waited for a while, but Third Young Master He did not speak, so she looked up at him, held back her shyness and asked, “Young Master, do you have anything to say?”

Third Young Master He looked at Qu Xuexin affectionately and said, “Yes. I just hope it is you.”

His words were vague, but she immediately understood. Her face was so red that it almost burned. She immediately stood up in a panic and bowed to Third Young Master He with the help of the maid beside her. “I… I have something to do, so I won’t wait for the doctor here.”

Then, she turned around and left.

Third Young Master He stood up with his hands behind his back and watched Qu Xuexin leave. Then, the smile on his face slowly faded. He had seen many beauties. Even though Qu Moying’s face was covered by an eye veil and could not be seen clearly, he knew this First Lady Qu in front of him could not compare with her.

He found Qu Mansion interesting. Was First Lady Qu trying to poach him from Fourth Lady Qu?

However, he was just playing with First Lady Qu. He was more willing to marry Fourth Lady Qu because she was blind and gorgeous.

If Fourth Lady Qu was really what he wanted, he could spare her life.

He had to have a legitimate wife, and what was more suitable for him than a blind person?

With this thought, Third Young Master He turned around and left with his lad servant.

Not far away, Qu Moying and Yu Dong stood in a pavilion next to a rockery. They had been looking over and they saw the scene just now. Although they could not hear Qu Xuexin and Third Young Master He’s words clearly, they could roughly guess what they were talking by their actions.

Qu Xuexin was really a scheming woman!

She brought Qu Moying over and pretended to meet Third Young Master He by accident. Both of them seemed to have feelings for each other. It seemed that she did all this because she wanted to marry into He Mansion. However, no matter how she tried, Qu Moying had already known how this matter would end up in vain when she knew about Third Young Master He…

This proposed marriage was doomed to fail…
