Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 9: The Hateful Sister Deserved the Slaps

After losing the battle with Qu Moying, Yu didn’t return to her yard. Instead, she went directly to Furong House where her daughter Qu Qiuyan lived.

“Mother, how is Qing He?” Qu Qiuyan asked anxiously after she led Yu into the room. She was afraid that she would be involved instead of worrying about Qing He.

Qu Qiuyan kept feeling scared after Qing He was taken away by the Old Lady.

She did it, so she was clear. She thought when the fire broke out, Qu Moying would die for sure. She was blind, and no one was around her. She couldn’t open her eyes in the strong light. Even if she wanted to escape, she couldn’t. No one knew who did it afterward. Others would believe that the blind girl knocked over the oil lamp carelessly, and nobody would be blamed for her death.

“Qing He has been exposed!” Yu dropped on a chair and rebuked nervously, “Why were you so imprudent? I told you to wait for a few more days and act after thinking more carefully, didn’t I? But you couldn’t wait to do it at this time. It is easy to be exposed.”

“Then… what can I do?” Qu Qiuyan asked nervously. She was so panic-stricken that her face became pale.

“Kill Qing He, of course. Only in this way can everything be settled.” Yu pressed her forehead, and her head hurt a lot, “But Qing He is kept by the Old Lady now. And the Old Lady has taken the advice of the blind girl to sell Qing He and her family. No matter where the servant is settled, she would be a source of disaster!”

Because Qing He was kept by the Old Lady, Yu didn’t dare to act rashly.

“Mother, I will take someone to flog Qing He to death now with the excuse of avenging the misfortune of the blind girl. Then even if grandma punishes me, it will be too late!” Qu Qiuyan suggested, rolling her eyes and lifting the tips of her eyebrows.

“No!” Yu reached out her hand to stop her. Qu Qiuyan was usually imperious and had flogged several servants to death when the Old Lady didn’t know. However, now the Old Lady paid close attention to Qing He, and it was not a good time to do anything.

“Don’t act in our mansion. When Qing He is sold, ask someone to buy her and then kill her secretly!” Yu said and then reminded Qu Qiuyan again, “Don’t do anything to the blind girl recently. Wait until the trouble is solved. If your grandma finds something wrong, we’ll come to a bad end.”

Yu became more upset. She had been Qu Zhizhen’s wife for many years, but the Old Lady always disliked her and her daughter.

“Mother, don’t worry. I won’t act rashly!” Qu Qiuyan nodded. After thinking it over, she still felt restless, “Will grandma ask me about Qing He?”

“Probably.” Yu was not sure either.

“If she asks, what can I say?” Qu Qiuyan panicked. She was always scared of the Old Lady.

“Explain that it has nothing to do with you. When you greet the Old Lady tomorrow morning, admit your mistake and ask for punishment actively. Don’t avoid your responsibility. Now the matter is about a servant girl trying to murder another master, while as her master, you know nothing. Admit that you didn’t discipline her and failed to see her true colors.”

Yu taught her daughter.

“Why should I take the blame?” Qu Qiuyan was not convinced.

“Yan, if you say that, the blind girl cannot charge you even if she has grievances. She also needs to be tolerant because as her elder sister, you have already taken the blame. If she insists on getting to the bottom of it, she will be thought petty and doesn’t care about the sisterhood. After all, you seem to be innocent in this matter.”
