Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 60: Searching for the Evidence

“What is it?” Qu Qiuyan asked.

“I-It’s a piece of clothes and a pair of earrings…” the maid said in a low voice with scare.

“This is outrageous! Grandmother, I’ll go to Moying’s room and let her return them to Second Master Yan immediately. How… How could she do this?!” Qu Qiuyan said furiously as her face turned red.

As Qu Qiuyan walked out with no hesitation, Qu Caiyue hurriedly said, “Grandmother, I’ll keep an eye on Qiuyan in case they argue with each other.”

Then she followed the Third Lady out immediately.

The Old Lady just got over with a daze and tried to stop them, but the two ladies had already left with their maids. Feeling giddier in anxiety and rage, she held Granny Wu’s hand and slowly stood up, “Let’s go take a look.”

“Madam, your body condition…” Granny Wu was worried.

“I’m fine. I just need to move slowly,” the Old Lady said weakly while holding back the pain in her head. Holding Granny Wu’s hand, she faltered toward the door. After every few footsteps, she would stop to take a break. In this way, she and Granny Wu moved to Qu Moying’s place very slowly.

Qu Qiuyan led the way. She walked fast and almost got to Qu Moying’s yard. To make Qu Qiuyan stop, Qu Caiyue shouted in agitation as she was trying to catch up, “Qiuyan, wait for me! Don’t go there first. Even if Moying is involved with Second Master Yan, there’s no use to return the things now!”

She found her words inappropriate after she said them all. Then she hurriedly looked around and saw a few guests passing by give her a curious gaze. Her face blushed with embarrassment immediately.

“Second Sister, don’t talk nonsense. Even if Moying accepted the clothes and earrings gifted by a man, it still might be a misunderstanding,” Qu Qiuyan stopped and scolded Qu Caiyue with a serious look on her face.

Her tone sounded like defending for Qu Moying, but she actually admitted that Qu Moying was secretly dating a man. She tried to cover up the truth, yet it was more convincing for other people who heard them.

The noise caught more people’s attention, and they stopped here to see what was happening. Someone was asking the ones who witnessed the whole thing; someone was telling people based on his guessing. But soon, everyone figured out that it was about a lady secretly dating a man. And these two were the lady’s sisters.

They all wondered which family was this shameless lady from.

“I-I misunderstood it. It’s my fault,” Qu Caiyue kept apologizing with a flustered look.

“Go knock on the door,” Qu Qiuyan said to her maid. The maid walked up, but before she put her hand on the door, it opened. Qu Moying came out with a calm look on her face.

Qu Qiuyan took a step back subconsciously and then realized what she did, feeling annoyed. She would become Madam Jing in the future. Why was she afraid of a blind girl?

“Moying, we need to talk to you about something. Can we go inside?” Qu Qiuyan calmed herself down and said, looking concerned.

“Third Sister, let’s just talk here. I didn’t do anything that couldn’t be heard by people. If we go inside, I’m afraid that people will think I did something that I shouldn’t do,” Qu Moying said in a flat tone.

“Moying, how…how could you accept a gift from some other man? And… and it’s a… a…” Qu Caiyue walked up to Qu Moying and scolded her in rage.

Qu Qiuyan stepped back quietly. This was the stage for Qu Caiyue now since she was more suitable for this kind of role.

“Second Sister, I don’t know what you are talking about?” The look on Qu Moying’s face was still calm. She looked around and noticed more and more people stopped and surrounded them.
