“What happened?” Old Lady Qu’s heart jolted. She thought that Yu had plotted something evil again. Then her face turned sullen at once.
“Nothing, it’s just… Yesterday, I heard from a servant…” Qu Moying’s face suddenly turned red and she couldn’t continue the sentence.
“You do the talking!” Old Lady Qu looked up at Yu Dong who was standing behind Qu Moying and said that coldly.
“Old Lady, I… I did have… heard something. Lady… Lady Yu…” Yu Dong who had been called by Old Lady Qu knelt down in panic and faltered.
“Be more specific.” Old Lady Qu said in a harsh voice.
“Yes… Yes. I heard Lady Yu say… say that she was preg… pregnant… or… something… like… that. I don’t know whom the father is. I… I didn’t dare to get too close.” Yu Dong got more panicky as he heard Old Lady Qu talking so harshly. Luckily, he managed to finish the whole speech.
Granny Wu realized what he meant at once, then the look on her face changed instantly.
Old Lady Qu’s facial expression also changed and there was coldness flashing in her eyes. If what she thought was true, Young Master Yongning truly was not a decent guy.
This just broke Old Lady Qu’s last hope for Xu Lipeng!
“Grandma… Yu Dong didn’t hear the whole story. Maybe Lady Yu was talking about someone else.” Qu Moying tried to coax Old Lady Qu as she saw the latter wearing a glum face.
Old Lady Qu took a deep breath to suppress her anger. Then she said to Yu Dong coldly, “How could you tell your lady about that when you don’t have proof? Go kneel outside.”
“Yes!” Yu Dong didn’t dare to say anything and walked out. Then he knelt down on the porch outside.
“Grandma, Yu Dong only told me that for my own good.” Qu Moying stood up and wanted to kneel down too, trying to plead for Yu Dong.
Old Lady Qu stopped Qu Moying right away and scolded her, “A lady who hasn’t got married like you can never hear something like that!”
“But, if I didn’t hear it, I wouldn’t even know who is trying to hurt me!” Qu Moying said with her eyes turning red and she still knelt down perversely. “Grandma, such being the case… am I still going to marry him?“
Seeing her being so persistent, Old Lady Qu tried to pull her up with resignation. Granny Wu also gave a hand to help Qu Moying up. “All right, I see. I won’t let you suffer, but we have to make a thorough plan first.” Old Lady Qu said.
“I know. Thank you so much, grandma!” Qu Moying made a compromise and wiped the corner of her eyes with her handkerchief. She wore a gentle smile on her face as if she had only made the concession because of her grandma’s words.
Old Lady Qu’s heart softened as she saw her granddaughter trusting her words so much. As she thought about Qu Moying’s current situation and what had happened recently, Old Lady Qu just got angrier and angrier.
Yu was clearly an evil person. Old Lady Qu had made Yu a madam for the sake of the twins, Qu Qiuyan and Qu Mingcheng, and now she truly regretted it because of the trouble Yu had caused.
“Old Lady, Young Master Yongning wanted to see you!” A senior housemaid came in in a hurry to report.
Young Master Yongning had just left yesterday because the people of the two families all agreed not to disturb each other for a while. However, Old Lady Qu never expected that he would come back so soon. As she remembered what Yu Dong had said, her face turned glum at once.
