Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 28: Who Rules the Qu Family?

“Sick?” Old Lady Qu, with a cold look, glanced at Yu, who came early to make obeisance to her.

Yesterday, the senior housemaid whom Yu had sent here had made a great disturbance, so Old Lady Qu had already known about everything. As she looked at Qu Moying, who was sitting there quietly and then at Yu, who was wiping her swollen eyes, she just couldn’t help getting angry.

Old Lady Qu didn’t believe there would be such a coincidence!

“I heard that Qingmeng had run into an accident on the busy street yesterday. If it were not for Young Master Xu… She might… She might not be able to come back. She’s a vulnerable girl. After she was frightened, she kept having nightmares last night. That’s why she’s sick.” Yu wiped her eyes again.

“Ying was also frightened, but she was fine last night. Today she even came here to visit me early in the morning. Originally I worried about Ying the most because her body is the weakest.”

Old Lady Qu scolded with a sullen face.

Though Yu Qingmeng also looked thin and weak, her body was actually strong. Qu Moying was slimmer than her with a more petite figure. When the two of them stood together, Qu Moying was obviously the more delicate one.

Now Qu Moying was still sitting there, but Yu Qingmeng had been scared out of her wits.

Yu’s heart jolted as she heard of that. Then she said in a hurry, “Old Lady, Qingmeng is very timid and always thinks too much. That’s why she got sick.”

“Think too much? What makes her think too much? Yu, the yard she lives in was prepared for Ying. Now that Ying’s back, just let Lady Yu move to the guest’s yard,” Old Lady Qu said straightly.

“Mother, Qingmeng is still ill now.” Yu didn’t realize that Old Lady Qu would be so blunt and could only say that with an embarrassing look.

Meanwhile, she just secretly hated Old Lady Qu even more.

“Even so, she could still move to the guest yard. She’s the guest. How could she stay in the lady’s yard the whole time? Or, do you want your niece to marry into our family?” Old Lady Qu snorted.

Yu had given birth to a boy and a girl. Qu Mingcheng and Qu Qiuyan were twins. That was why Yu could get a foothold in the Qu family even though Old Lady Qu didn’t like her.

Qu Mingcheng was the apple of Yu’s eyes.

“Mother, what are you talking about? Mingcheng is younger than Qingmeng. Now he’s preparing for the imperial examination. How could he think of that kind of thing?” Yu got anxious right away.

Her son was much more important to her than her niece.

“Since you don’t want Lady Yu to marry into this family, then don’t send the wrong messages to others by keeping a yard for her in this mansion. I know my words are harsh, but your niece is a grown woman and still hasn’t got engaged. Maybe others really assume that you want her to marry your son.” Old Lady Qu warned Yu coldly.

Yu twisted the handkerchief in her hand. She had no idea that Old Lady Qu would say that.

She was clear why Yu Qingmeng hadn’t got engaged. Actually, she had made a great effort to let Yu Qingmeng marry into Marquis Yongning’s family.

Of course, she didn’t dare to tell Old Lady Qu that. Now, as she heard Old Lady Qu’s words, her face just turned redder and redder.

“Mother, even if Qingmeng has to move to the guest yard, her stuff is hard to clear up for the moment.” Yu had to swallow hard.
