Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 27: Seize the Chance to Drive Them Away

“Young Master Yongning sent those flowers to Third Lady and Lady Yu. These two extra pots were supposed to be sent to Second Madam, but she wanted you to have them. So she sent me over,” the senior housemaid explained with a grinning face.

“For me?” With a doubtful look, Qu Moying asked.

“Yes, Second Madam said that Fourth Lady is still young and must love flowers. Even if you can’t see the flowers, it’s still delightful to smell them. Such beautiful flowers are always pleasing to look at. If they were just ordinary kinds, Second Madam wouldn’t let me come.” The senior housemaid that Yu had sent here indeed knew how to say pretty words.

Her glib talk sounded as sweet as a song.

However, the things she tried to imply truly were provoking.

What did she mean by saying Qu Moying could still smell them? What was she trying to imply by mentioning the beautiful flowers and the ordinary kinds?

Yu Chun’s face turned red in anger. If Qu Moying hadn’t told her to stay calm, she couldn’t bear it any longer. The senior housemaid was trying to say that Qu Moying was just a blind and ordinary girl.

It had been a long time since Qu Moying had come back to Qu’s mansion, and only until now did Yu Chun realize that every servant here felt that Fourth Lady was both ugly and blind. Yu Chun felt so indignant because she knew how pretty her lady was. Now Second Madam even tried to mock at Fourth Lady with that. That was just outrageous!

“Please thank Second Madam for me, but you have to take the flowers back.” Qu Moying smiled as if she didn’t understand what the senior housemaid had been implying.

“Fourth Lady, Second Madam is one of the elders for you in the family. You can’t give back the flowers she sent to you.” The senior housemaid who had been smiling suddenly put on a long face.

“I can’t?” Qu Moying asked in a flat tone.

“One should never return an elder’s gift. Second Madam was just being kind to send you the flowers. How can you disgrace her like that?” The senior housemaid spoke louder indignantly.

Their loud conversation had been heard by the maids and senior housemaids outside the room. So they all approached to listen to what had happened.

“Yu Chun, slap her,” Qu Moying said lightly.

Yu Chun took a few steps forwards and slapped the senior housemaid hard, making the latter’s head tilt to one side.

As she turned her head back, she was already steamed up. Then she said with a sharp voice, “Fourth Lady…”

“Tell Second Madam that I have no place to keep the flowers here and that she could put them in the house that I’ll move in. Grandma is getting old; I can’t live here forever. I was told that it would take two or three days to clean it up. Now it should be ready!”

Qu Moying ignored the senior housemaid’s twisted face and said with a calm look.

When she came back, Yu had said that the yard prepared for her still needed cleaning and sent her to a small one far from the main house. After the fire, Qu Moying had to live in Old Lady Qu’s place. Yu probably had already forgotten about the house she promised her, which was the one that Yu Qingmeng stayed in every time she came.

Yu had known that Qu Qiuyan sent Qing He to set Qu Moying up and didn’t expect that Qu Moying would survive. Therefore, the house she mentioned became an empty promise.

However, now that Yu offered her a chance, she would take the yard then.

“No… no…” The senior housemaid didn’t know what to say. Never did she realize that things would become like this. What Yu had taught her to say was completely useless.
