Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 357 – Someone Took A Fancy To Yu Dong

Chapter 357 Someone Took a Fancy to Yu Dong

“Qing Mei, what are you doing here?” Yu Dong looked at a maid who was hiding and obviously uneasy.

“Our lady heard that there was a big shot coming over, so she asked me to come over and take a look.” Qing Mei blinked uneasily. She had been in Qu Mansion for a period of time and had always been on good terms with Yu Dong. Every time she met Yu Dong, she would take the initiative to talk to him. She was very close to Yu Dong, and sometimes she would even especially send some women’s accessories to Yu Dong.

It could be said that her relationship with Yu Dong was quite good.

Their relationship was not affected by the grudge between Qu Moying and Qu Qiuyan.

“Yu Dong, who came just now? What exactly happened? I saw Second Master chasing after a person, and that person seemed to be angry.”

After answering Yu Dong’s question, Qing Mei seemed to be quick-witted again. She stretched her head to look behind Yu Dong as if she wanted to find out more information.

Yu Dong stood in front of her with an unfriendly expression. He glanced at Qing Mei and his face darkened. “What is your lady trying to do?”

Qing Mei explained, “Our lady doesn’t want to do anything. She just heard that a big shot had come and asked me to come over to take a look. I didn’t expect that he would enter Fourth Lady’s yard.”

She then stood on tiptoe to look behind Yu Dong as if she was still trying to find out something.

Yu Dong said bluntly, “He has already left. If there is nothing else, you can go back!”

“Let me take a look. I won’t talk nonsense.” Qing Mei pleaded. She wanted to slip past Yu Dong, but Yu Dong stopped her.

Yu Dong snapped, “Why aren’t you leaving? Are you waiting for our lady to come?”

Qing Mei had a glib tongue. She blinked her eyes and said tactfully, “Alright, I won’t go over, in case Fourth Lady gets angry after knowing that you let me go over.”

As she spoke, she took out a sachet from her pocket and handed it to Yu Dong. She smiled and said, “Right, I have this for you.”

“What is this?” Yu Dong did not take it. He asked with a frown. He was not interested in the little things that Qing Mei gave him. She had sent him a handkerchief, rouge powder, and some things women liked. Although he disguised himself as a woman now, he was not a woman. He did not like these women’s things.

In the past, he only casually applied some makeup to avoid being incompatible with other maids.

Fortunately, he was not bad looking. He looked quite beautiful even with only a little makeup, and no one could recognize him as a man.

However, Qu Moying wanted him to continue to be friends with Qing Mei to see what she was up to, so he pretended to be interested in her and got along with her.

Qing Mei took out a pair of pearl hairpins from the sachet as if she was presenting a treasure. “This is a pair of new pearl hairpins. Take a look. I especially kept it for you. It is beautiful, isn’t it?”

Although the pearls on the hairpins were not big, no ordinary maid could possess such an item. Moreover, Qing Mei got a pair, and they were made with exquisite workmanship. Yu Dong could tell that this pair of pearl hairpins was finely made, and they were almost comparable to those made in the palace. How could a mere maid have them?

In fact, the same thing had happened before. Qing Mei was Qu Qiuyan’s new maid, but she seemed to be more favored than ordinary maids. She always had something that other maids didn’t have, such as the rouge, makeup powder, and the delicate pearl hairpins she gave him right now.

Yu Dong asked with a frown, “Where did you get this?”

“You… you don’t have to ask. It’s good stuff. I always keep the good stuff for you. Ever since I saw you, I’ve liked you. It’s a pity that we are not serving the same lady. Otherwise, we could live together and talk frequently. Unlike now…” Qing Mei said sullenly and kicked a small stone beside her foot.

Yu Dong said, “Then come and follow our lady!”

“Really? Can I?” Qing Mei raised her head excitedly and looked at Yu Dong with hope.

Yu Dong shook his head expressionlessly. “Of course not. I am just a maid. How can I make the decision? Moreover, our lady has enough senior maids.”

Qing Mei did not get angry because of Yu Dong’s refusal. Instead, her words became even humbler. “I don’t need to be a senior maid. It’s fine even if I could only be a junior maid. I just feel like we are fated to be together.”

Yu Dong seemed to be shocked after hearing Qing Mei’s words. Seeing his expression, Qing Mei knew that she was too rash. Every junior maid wanted to be a senior maid, but no senior maid wanted to be a junior maid. Her words were quite doubtful. She immediately laughed and said, “Alright, I was just joking with you. But how about you come to serve our lady? Our lady treats the people around her pretty well.”

Yu Dong directly refused, “No! No matter whom I serve, I am still a maid. There is no difference. What is the point of changing a Master?”

Qing Mei rolled her eyes and advised, “Of course it’s different. Fourth Lady won’t give her maids accessories as fine as mine… These pearl hairpins are not something that ordinary people can get.”

“Where did you get these pearl hairpins?” Yu Dong asked in confusion. He didn’t think Qu Qiuyan was a generous person.

“Of course someone gave them to me.” Qing Mei looked at Yu Dong shyly and wanted to say something but stopped at a second thought.

Yu Dong said calmly, “If you have something to say, just say it!”

“Actually, it’s not a big deal. I just feel pity for you.” Qing Mei looked Yu Dong up and down and sighed, “I have seen all the maids in our mansion. None of them is more beautiful than you. It is a pity…”

Yu Dong asked impatiently, “What’s the pity?”

He really was not in the mood to discuss whether he was beautiful or not with a maid. He was just a eunuch, and he didn’t need to be beautiful.

If not for the fact that Qu Moying had repeatedly told him to be nice and tried to obtain some information whenever he saw Qing Mei, he would have turned around and left long ago.

“It’s a pity that you waste your beauty. I think you are the most beautiful one in Qianyue House.” Qing Mei pointed at Qianyue House not far away.

She said Yu Dong was the most beautiful one in Qianyue House, and she naturally put Qu Moying in count.

Yu Dong asked calmly, “So what?”

Today, Qing Mei spoke more than usual. Was she going to reveal her real purpose?

“Someone likes you, and he lets others give these things to you.” Seeing that it was the right time, Qing Mei said in a delicate voice. She had been observing Yu Dong’s reaction. If a girl knew that someone liked her and the one kept sending her gifts, she would be shy even if she might not accept him.

Yu Dong felt like vomiting.

He thought to himself, “I can’t believe there is some man who takes a fancy to me. I know I look well in female attire. If not so, Eunuch Ji Hai would not have sent me over. But I don’t think that it is a good thing that a man takes a fancy to me!”

Yu Dong lowered his head slightly, took a deep breath, and suppressed the discomfort in his heart before asking, “Who is it?”

He looked a little shy. Qing Mei was satisfied, but she didn’t tell him directly. She pushed the sachet into his hand. Then, she pulled his hand and whispered, “Don’t worry. It’s not a lad servant. Sister Yu Dong, you will be blessed in the future. Don’t forget me when the time comes!”

After saying that, she turned around and ran away without waiting for Yu Dong to say anything.

“She actually ran away like this. She was playing hard to get. She is not simple.” Yu Dong sneered at Qing Mei’s back and turned to leave.

In the main room, Granny Yan had already left. Qu Moying looked at the sachet on the table and the pearl hairpins in the sachet and sneered.

She picked up a pearl hairpin and looked at it. As Yu Dong had said, it was a fine product. It was not something that could be made in ordinary shops. Although it was not very expensive, the workmanship was very good.

“She left without saying anything?” Qu Moying looked up and asked thoughtfully. Qing Mei was not simply because she left at such a timing.

Or rather, the person behind Qing Mei was not simple!

Yu Dong said indifferently, “Yes, she said that the one who likes me is not a lad servant. Who else could it be? A Master? How could it be?”

Qu Moying was silent for a moment before she suddenly smiled. “This is really possible!”

“Who?” Yu Dong was stunned for a moment and asked anxiously. He hated the person who took him for a woman and wanted to know who was plotting against him.

He would never believe that someone had taken a fancy to him.

He was not the kind of woman who loved to dream. Those women really would dream of becoming a Master one day.

He was realistic.

“Second Young Master.” Qu Moying smiled. Her eyes were cold.

There were only a few male Masters in the mansion. It seemed that there was really no one else but Qu Mingcheng who could let the people around Qu Qiuyan do things for him. Moreover, it was said that this maid named Qing Mei was picked from East Mansion.

Of course, it could also be Eldest Young Master Qu.

However, Qu Moying didn’t think Eldest Young Master would do such a thing. Moreover, Qing Mei was Qu Qiuyan’s trusted maid. Even if the Eldest Young Master dared to make use of her, Qu Qiuyan would not agree.

“So, what does Second Young Master want to do?” Yu Dong sneered and felt sick. He was not familiar with Qu Mingcheng at all and had only met him once or twice with Qu Moying.

“I think he wants to make you his agent to spy on me and do things for him at critical moments.” Qu Moying said. She pinched her fingers. Then she looked down at her fingers and slowly said, “Since she is playing such a game with you, let her continue her act.”

“What if Second Young Master comes to me?” Yu Dong was anxious. Although he was disguised as a woman, he did not want to have anything to do with a man.

“Don’t worry. Second Young Master will only say a few words to you at most. Do you think he will like the maid of a sister he hated?”

Seeing the anxious look on Yu Dong’s face, Qu Moying burst out laughing. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice as she raised her pair of

apricot-like eyes. Her eyes were misty, and there was a touch of redness at the corner of her eyes, which made her look even more beautiful. There was a kind of gentle and charming temperament in her coldness. Even her slightest facial expression was attractive.

Yu Dong felt that Qu Moying was the most beautiful woman. A few years ago, a lady who wanted to be with Lord Yun was said to be incomparably beautiful. However, Yu Dong thought she couldn’t compare with Qu Moying.

He thought only Lord Yun was worthy of Qu Moying…

Qu Moying suddenly changed the topic and asked, “Who do you think is behind today’s matter?”

Nothing came out of nothing, so why did this happen?
