Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 322 – Xie Feng Cried For Justice

Chapter 322 Xie Feng Cried for Justice

When the carriage stopped at Vice Minister Qu’s Mansion, Qu Moying was hit on the head slightly. She raised her head in confusion and met Pei Yuanjun’s narrowed eyes. Seeing his beautiful face, she felt a little giddy and didn’t know where she was.

She looked around and remembered that she got into Pei Yuanjun’s carriage before and then fell asleep in the carriage.

The back of her head had been harshly painful, but now the tingling disappeared and she felt much better.

“What? You don’t want to leave?” Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows and leaned against the cushion behind him. He narrowed his eyes. His nose was filled with Qu Moying’s light yet pleasing body fragrance.

“Are we there?” Qu Moying’s face inexplicably turned red, and she quickly straightened up. Her long hair immediately scattered down on her shoulders.

If she got out of the carriage like this, others would gossip about her.

“Yes, we are!” Pei Yuanjun reached out to take a veiled hat and put it on Qu Moying’s head. The hanging veil was long enough to cover her hair. “Don’t forget about the Qixi Festival!”

Qu Moying blinked, not knowing what he was talking about. She just looked at Pei Yuanjun blankly.

“What? Have you forgotten?” He laughed, sounding a bit enchanting and ambiguous. His laughter was somewhat flirty, especially in such a small place.

Qu Moying hurriedly shook her head. She vaguely remembered having a conversation with him just now, but she thought it was a dream for a moment.

“You may get down first!” Looking at her, Pei Yuanjun found it more and more interesting. He reached out and pressed on her hair, messing up her hair again.

Qu Moying hurriedly got up and lifted the curtain. Yu Dong was already waiting outside. He helped her out of the carriage. Then, the curtain of the carriage fell down and the carriage turned to leave.

After calming down, Qu Moying turned around and entered the mansion.

Granny Wu had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Qu Moying coming down from the carriage, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Fourth Lady, you are finally back. Her Ladyship has been waiting for you for a long time. Are you alright? The doctor is also waiting for you.”

Qu Moying asked in surprise, “Does Grandmother know?”

“First Lady came back and said that your carriage collided with another carriage. Her Ladyship was worried, and she asked me to wait at the door. But I didn’t see you after a long wait, and I was just thinking of reporting to Her Ladyship.” Granny Wu said. Looking at the veiled hat with a long hanging veil on Qu Moying’s head, Granny Wu was a bit flustered, “Is she injured so badly that she has to put on a hat?”

“But First Lady said that she is alright!”

Qu Moying said softly, “I messed up my hair on the carriage just now. I can’t go to see Grandmother like this. I’ll go back to freshen up first before going to Grandmother’s place. Granny Wu, please go to inform Grandmother for me.”

“Okay, okay, I will go now. Her Ladyship must be anxious.” Granny Wu said hurriedly. She turned around and hurried back to report.

Qu Moying went back to Qianyue House with Yu Dong. When Yu Chun combed her hair, Qu Moying knew that she had just fallen asleep in the carriage. She slept for a long time. In fact, the carriage had already arrived in front of Qu Mansion long ago, but it drove away and took a circle then.

That meant she came back two hours later than Qu Xuexin. No wonder the Old Lady was anxious.

Yu Chun looked at Qu Moying’s head when she was combing Qu Moying’s hair. She said that the swollen part had gone down a little. She tied up her hair carefully and put a simple hairpin on it.

Qu Moying went to the Old Lady’s place with Yu Dong. As soon as she arrived, the Old Lady asked the doctor to check Qu Moying. Only after hearing the doctor say that Qu Moying was fine did the Old Lady breathe a sigh of relief.

After the doctor left, the Old Lady asked Qu Moying about what had happened. Knowing that it was exactly as Qu Xuexin had said and Earl Fengyang’s Mansion’s people were involved once again, she was so angry that she laughed instead, “Well, well, well. Madam Li is really going against us. I haven’t asked her to explain what happened before yet!”

The Old Lady also had a temper. Even if Earl Fengyang’s Mansion was one of the few most renowned aristocratic families in the capital, the Old Lady could not bear it.

Qu Moying comforted the Old Lady, “Grandmother, don’t be angry. It seemed to be an accident. Miss Yan was also badly hurt. Her forehead was grazed, and she even bled.”

The Old Lady didn’t know that Yan Yujiao was injured. She was surprised to hear that, and she calmed down a bit. “Did she get hurt?”

Qu Moying nodded, “Yes, she was badly hurt. She went to the clinic just now.”

The Old Lady was not an unreasonable person. Hearing Qu Moying’s words, she knew that it might really be an accident and nobody was to blame. But thinking of what Madam Li had done before, she couldn’t help but get angry.

Before Third Young Master He was exposed, Madam Li sometimes sent people over to inquire about the progress. But ever since Third Young Master He’s matter was exposed, Madam Li had never sent people over again. That was why the Old Lady was so angry when she heard that the carriage accident was related to Earl Fengyang’s Mansion’s people.

“Where does the young master who saved you come from? Where does he live? I should ask your father to go and thank him.” Hearing that Earl Fengyang’s Mansion didn’t do it on purpose, she stopped talking about it and turned to another topic. Qu Xuexin didn’t give a clear account when she told her about the accident.

Qu Moying said with a smile, “He was just a passerby. I couldn’t find out who he was in that situation. Grandmother, I will pay attention in the future. If I meet this young master again, I will ask my father to go and thank him.”

“That’s right. Otherwise, people will say that we are ungrateful because we don’t even thank the person who saved you.” The Old Lady nodded repeatedly. It was Qu Moying and Yu Dong who encountered the situation. They did not ask who the young master was at that time, and now they could not find him. But if they met him in the future, they must thank him generously.

Qu Moying said softly, “Grandmother, I know.”

Looking at her feeble and pitiful look, the Old Lady couldn’t help but feel sorry for her again. She took her hand and pressed her to sit down on the side. Then, she asked questions like “Does it hurt?”, and Qu Moying answered her questions one by one. Seeing that Qu Moying was alright, the Old Lady heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Qu Moying was scared out of her wit.

According to the carriage driver, one of the horse’s legs was chopped off. An ordinary noble lady had never seen this before. It was good enough that she did not faint.

Although Qu Moying looked extremely weak, she had a tough personality. The Old Lady felt satisfied in her heart, but she also felt extremely helpless at the same time.

According to Qu Zhizhen, Qu Moying would definitely enter Lord Yun Mansion. Lord Yun had given them an obvious hint. If Qu Moying was as weak as she looked, how could she live in Lord Yun Mansion? Fortunately, she had a strong personality despite her weak look.

The Old Lady thought Qu Moying was the most vulnerable and pitiful granddaughter among her four granddaughters. But now, she knew Qu Moying was not a useless and weak lady. This was good. At least after Qu Moying entered Lord Yun Mansion or the palace in the future, she would not be easily bullied.

The Old Lady thought to herself that she had to talk to Granny Yan. She had guessed something before, but she wanted to pretend that she didn’t know it. In the current situation, she could no longer pretend to be ignorant.

After talking with the Old Lady for a while, Qu Moying went back to rest. After all, it was not a light collision. Although the bruise on the back of her head had been better after the massage, she was still injured. After returning to her yard, she did not have lunch but fell asleep directly. She slept until evening…

“Your Highness, I… I… I…” Xie Feng cried pitifully as she crawled by Pei Luo’an’s feet. Her beautiful hair fell down messily, making her look extremely pitiful.

“What happened?” Pei Luo’an looked at Xie Feng, who was crying on the ground, and frowned unconsciously. He had a lot of things to deal with recently and was very annoyed.

At this time, he wasn’t pleased at the sight of Xie Feng.

Pei Yusheng thought it was Pei Luo’an’s people who exposed Third Young Master He, so he also caused a lot of trouble for Pei Luo’an. Some people even brought up the ex-Crown Princess’ matter again, saying that Crown Prince Mansion still kept a large part of the ex-Crown Princess’ dowry. Pei Luo’an had already urged Ji Youran to deal with the matter quickly.

He knew that Xie Feng went to the Ji Family to deal with something for Ji Youran.

In the early days after Ji Hanyue died, Pei Luo’an enjoyed a good reputation. But because of what had happened recently, some people in the capital began to doubt his feelings for Ji Hanyue.

This made him very annoyed.

“Your Highness, Fourth Lady Qu has gone too far. She… she actually beat me like this.” Xie Feng was still complaining. She pointed at her face. There was still a palm print on her face. Yu Dong’s slap was quite hard. It was already afternoon, and the swelling had not subsided yet.

“You can talk to Princess Ji about this.” Pei Luo’an was very impatient. He had just returned to the mansion and sat down before Xie Feng rushed over.

He was not in the mood to deal with such a trifle for a bedroom maid.

“Your Highness, Princess Ji said that you have to know about this matter, so I came to wait for you. Fourth Lady Qu is the ex-Crown Princess’ cousin sister. She acted arrogantly in the Ji Family. I just helped Princess Ji send the ex-Crown Princess’ dowry list to the Ji Family, and Fourth Lady Qu acted arrogantly as if she was the Crown Princess.”

Xie Feng was very good at complaining. She knew what the Crown Prince cared about, so she deliberately started her complaint by saying that Qu Moying interfered with his matter.

When she complained to Ji Youran, she simply said that Qu Moying slapped her but didn’t say what exactly happened, nor did she say that the hairpins were the cause. She just said that she would complain to the Crown Prince. Ji Youran thought it was about the dowry list, and she felt guilty about that, so she ignored her and asked her to find Pei Luo’an. However, she didn’t expect that she was sowing seeds of misfortune…

Ji Youran even encouraged Xie Feng and rewarded her, which made Xie Feng feel like she was on cloud nine.

If the Crown Prince helped her vent her anger this time, no one would dare to provoke her in Crown Prince’s Mansion in the future.

This was also one of the important reasons why Xie Feng made a big deal out of the matter.

Pei Luo’an frowned and asked after thinking for a while, “Are you talking about the Fourth Lady of Vice Minister Qu’s Mansion?”

“Yes… It’s her. She is the ex-Crown Princess’ cousin sister. I heard that she had also attended the ex-Crown Princess’ funeral. But now, she looked down upon me. She said that I served two different masters and cursed me… She even pulled out the hairpins on my hair, which were given to me by the ex-Crown Princess. I thought of the ex-Crown Princess whenever I saw the pair of hairpins. But they were taken away now… How can I live without them?”
