Pei Yusheng, known as Lord Jing, was the crown prince’s biggest competitor. He was given birth by Noble Consort He.
Noble Consort He had enjoyed the Emperor’s favor for years. She was also the sister of Empress Yuan who had passed away. It was said that the sisters had been very close. She had gone to the royal palace to look after Empress Yuan who had been sick at that time. Then she had stayed in the palace ever since.
In Qu Moying’s previous life, she had met Noble Consort He more than once as the future Crown Princess. So Qu Moying knew some stories about her.
And Medical Officer Zhang was in the story.
“What’s the relationship between them?” Qu Qiuyan wanted to marry Lord Jing the most. Hearing that, the look on her face turned nervous right away.
Qu Moying picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for herself slowly. Then she looked to Qu Qiuyan, “Third sister, Medical Officer Zhang is Noble Consort He’s cousin. I heard he’s related to Empress Yuan too. If he said something to Noble Consort He…”
“What will.. he say?” Qu Qiuyan stammered with the look on her face turning more nervous.
She had been having a crush on Lord Jing for a long time. To be more precise, her father and mother also took a fancy to Lord Jing. Qu Qiuyan always found chances to get close to Lord Jing and the latter seemed to have a soft spot for her too.
Qu Zhizhen had even invited Lord Jing to Old Lady Qu’s birthday feast. Lord Jing had said that he would come, which showed his attitude toward Qu Qiuyan.
If Medical Officer Zhang said something bad about Qu Qiuyan now, the engagement would never happen.
“I don’t know much about that, third sister. If you want to fix it, you should find a way yourself!” Qu Moying took a sip of the tea and then stood up, saying, “Grandma is waiting for me now. I’ll go back!”
“Go, go away!” Qu Qiuyan’s head was filled with everything about Medical Officer Zhang and she was not in the mood of dealing with Qu Moying at all. Then she waved her hands restlessly.
Qu Moying turned around and took Granny Miao and Yu Chun away.
The maids and senior housemaids by the door didn’t receive any orders from Qu Qiuyan. So they could only look at each other and at last watched Qu Moying and the other two servants leaving Furong House.
After they were out, Granny Miao let out a sigh of relief. She was more sensitive than Yu Chun and saw things through. “My lady, Third Lady asked someone to push you into the pond and she must have spread something in the pond already. Second Madam and Third Lady wanted to ruin your eyes!”
Granny Miao said with a low voice.
Qu Moying sneered. Yu and Qu Qiuyan were both very malicious and couldn’t even tolerate a weak and half-blind girl who had been given birth by Qu Zhizhen’s first wife. This time Qu Moying slapped Qu Qiuyan hard, so the latter had wanted to pretend to lose control in order to set Qu Moying up.
If so, even if Old Lady Qu looked into this, they could claim that Qu Qiuyan only did that because her face was ruined. After all, it was reasonable for a girl in rage to be out of control.
Qu Moying’s mouth corner was lifted a bit. Then she said, “Granny Miao, now that Medical Officer Zhang could prove it for me. I won’t have anything to do with this anymore!”
Qu Qiuyan and Yu must have accepted the allergy theory, but they still wanted to frame Qu Moying.
This time they were right. But even Medical Officer Zhang wouldn’t know this kind of drug.
Allergy? After this drug got into her blood, she would get allergies more than once!
“I see!” Granny Miao understood her words immediately. After this time, the pimples on Third Lady’s face would never be related to Fourth Lady.
“Granny Miao, I need you to go out once. Just say you need a few more herbs to make up a prescription. Go find a human trader.”
Qu Moying rolled her eyes gently and said that tenderly.
“My lady, do you need maids or senior housemaids?” Granny Miao asked wonderingly, “You haven’t had your own yard now. You won’t need any servants. Yu Chun and I could serve you well.”
“I don’t want any servants. I want you to go find a human trader whose last name is Mo. She works for a few noble families. Tell her to buy Qing He and her families and sell Qing He to the crown prince’s mansion. As for her families, sell them at a low price!” Qu Moying said that with a cold look in her eyes.
Later, she would ask Old Lady Qu to sell Qing He. If that girl stayed here, Yu would definitely hurt her. Now Yu took no action only because it was inconvenient for her to do so.
As Qu Moying counted the time, she assumed that Yu must be staying with Old Lady Qu now in order to get the news and make sure she wouldn’t be suspected. It also meant now was the best time to take action because Yu would be caught off guard.
As long as Qu Moying didn’t go back, Yu would stay with Old Lady Qu. Meanwhile, Qu Moying could go to find Qing He.
She implemented her plan step by step for this life and her previous life…
“My lady, that human trader wouldn’t listen to me.” Granny Miao frowned, feeling a bit troubled by this task. She groped in her pocket and only pulled out a few ounces of silver. Then she said in frustration, “My lady, this is all the money we have now. It’s not enough to buy a human trader off.”
The servants sold to the crown prince’s mansion should go through careful selection. The human trader wouldn’t agree to send a maid there if she was not paid a large sum of money.
“Don’t worry. She will agree!” Qu Moying said.
The confident look on her face was very convincing for no reason. She seemed a completely different person overnight. Granny Miao nodded secretly with her eyes turning red. She believed that it was those life-and-death sufferings that cleared Qu Moying’s mind.
Granny Miao turned her head to wipe the tears on the corner of her eyes. It seemed that the fire which had been set by Qing He sobered Qu Moying up.
“Granny Miao, Trader Mo has a son whom she loves a lot…” Qu Moying called Granny Miao over and whispered that.
As Granny Miao heard that, she kept nodding with her eyes turning brighter and brighter, looking very delighted…
