Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 70: A Big Humiliation For Qu Qiuyan

Right now, Qu Qiuyan could only see those gruesome eyes and feel the overwhelming pressure from this man.

“The Third Lady of the Qu Family is such a unique person,” Pei Yuanjun chuckled and said slowly.

Pei Yusheng’s face turned red in embarrassment as he glared at Qu Qiuyan’s flustered face, showing a trace of rage in his eyes. Qu Qiuyan had always been well-mannered and confident, but he couldn’t believe with only one glance at his uncle Lord Yun, she directly bent her whole body on the ground. Compared to the other two who were just kneeling, Qu Qiuyan totally made him lose his face and embarrassed him.

Could a girl like her be qualified for the position of his second wife or even concubine?

Pei Yusheng felt more annoyed toward Qu Qiuyan.

“Enjoy your time here. I have to go first.” Pei Yuanjun stood up, knocked the stone table with his finger, and looked at the three ladies kneeling on the ground. “I don’t have patience for timid women. Fourth Lady Qu, you seem to be a brave one. You can walk me out, and I want to hear about your mother’s story on the way,” said Pei Yuanjun as he started to walk out gracefully.

Pei Yusheng hurriedly stood up and bowed to him.

Qu Moying hesitated for a second and followed him downstairs.

As they walked away from the pavilion, Qu Moying raised her eyes and stared at Pei Yuanjun, who crossed his hands behind his back and walked in front of her, feeling confused.

In silence, the two of them walked farther into the forest. The two servants following them, Ji Hai and Yu Dong, kept communicating using hand gestures but didn’t dare to make any sound.

Finally, Pei Yuanjun stopped walking. Qu Moying stood three steps away from him. As she looked around, she uttered a quiet sound of exclamation.

Some peach trees close to her were blooming beautifully here. But the color of the flowers was light purple instead of light pink, seeming very unusual.

“This… This place is the purple peach forest?” Qu Moying turned around and noticed all the trees around her had light purple flowers. She had been deep in her thoughts all the way here and didn’t realize she entered a yard where these rare peach trees were planted.

She heard about purple peach flowers in the Dabei Temple long ago but never had the chance to see them in person. She asked the Crown Prince about it several times before, but he always gave her an ambiguous answer. Now she understood it – the purple peach trees indeed existed, but they all belonged to Pei Yuanjun, so ordinary people couldn’t enter this space, not even the Crown Prince.

Then she took a quick observation of the surroundings. This should be the backyard of Pei Yuanjun’s mansion in the temple. She entered his place through the front gate in the darkness last night and couldn’t have a clear view of it. Now she realized how spacious his mansion was, so was this purple peach forest.

“How do you think of this place?” Pei Yuanjun suddenly chuckled, looking pleased.

“These purple peach flowers are very different from the usual ones. They are stunning,” Qu Moying nodded at him, but she still couldn’t figure out why Pei Yuanjun brought her here.

Purely for showing her the beautiful flowers?

Was Lord Yun that type of person? Of course not!

Her heart suddenly missed a beat as her eyes glanced over these trees. All the trees here looked thick and sturdy. Someone must’ve taken good care of them. “Where did you get these purple peach trees, my lord?”
