Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 46: Sneak Out on the Old Lady's Birthday!

In her past life, Ji Hanyue loved reading. For that, her loving father had built an exclusive study in her yard to store many books he collected, including some casual reading ones.

Once in a while, she would put on some neat clothes instead of a dress and practice sword dance as an exercise when no one was there.

As for embroidery, she was not good at it at all. She could, at the most, do some simple embroidery, not letting the thread ends come out of the pattern. But her embroidery could definitely not be considered a decent gift for the Old Lady.

Since Qu Moying had an eye problem in her current life, making embroidery was really harmful to her eyes. People around her didn’t let her spend too much time on it, so the embroidery she made was just average, far from being outstanding.

The Old Lady’s banquet would be the first time for Qu Moying to show up in public as her granddaughter. Many people would attend the event and see every gift the Old Lady received. On such an occasion, Qu Moying couldn’t be the one who caught people’s attention by showing off her brilliance or being laughed at by others.

“My lady, it’s better to change it!” Granny Miao was worried.

“No need. I’ll give my grandmother the embroidered forehead band I made before.” Qu Moying shook her head and explained patiently, “I don’t have any other good choices. Since my eyes will finally recover under grandmother’s care and love, the embroidery represents my gratefulness for her. Everyone knows I have an eye problem, and people shouldn’t expect me to do it well.”

This would be the first time for her to show up in public. For executing Pei Yuanjun’s order successfully, she needed to keep a low profile and caught no attention. But meanwhile, she wanted people to know that her eyes were almost healed.

Then it wouldn’t be too surprising for others when she started to live without the veil.

Besides, it could also prevent Xu Lipeng from using her eye disease as an excuse for breaking off the engagement. Being able to make embroideries meant that her eyes would recover soon.

“My lady, the hand-made forehead band is indeed a good choice!” Yu Dong was a smart man. He understood Qu Moying’s intention immediately and complimented her decision.

Granny Miao couldn’t fully get rid of her concern, but she still nodded since it did sound reasonable…

On the morning of the Old Lady’s birthday, Qu Moying got up very early. After Yu Chun helped her get washed, she put on a light blue jacket with a delicate yellow embroidery pattern, matching her peacock blue swing maxiskirt as a belt outstood her slender waist. The bright colors gave her a slightly childish look but perfectly set off her beauty.

“My lady, you will be the most stunning girl without the veil,” Yu Chun grinned at Qu Moying’s reflection in the mirror, feeling proud.

The Third Lady always considered herself a beauty, but in Yu Chun’s opinion, the Fourth Lady was much more gorgeous than her.

“My lady, how about you take off the veil today?” Yu Chun proposed. She wanted those who spoke ill of the lady to see what they were looking at right now. She bet they wouldn’t dare to say the Fourth Lady was an ugly, blind girl again!

Qu Moying’s eyes had almost recovered under the care of the doctor sent by the Crown Princess. But Yu Chun couldn’t understand why her master kept wearing the veil when she didn’t need it anymore.

“There’s no need to hurry!” Qu Moying shook her head.

Yu Chun pressed her lips into a straight line and helped the lady tie the veil. Then her eyes fell on Qu Moying’s lips, and she suddenly said, “My lady, since it’s the Old Lady’s birthday, do you want to use a brighter color for your lip makeup?”
