Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 83: Everyone Was Playing the Blame Game

It was Liu Lanxin’s private maid, Chun Xiu.

This maid was even more beautiful than many noble ladies in the capital, and it was hard not to notice her in the crowd.

She was trying pretty hard to squeeze in, which irritated the people around her. Those angry people were all about to scold her. But they fell into silence and even made some space for her after seeing her gorgeous face.

Chun Xiu moved into the crowd with a curious face, standing towards Pei Yusheng, who was outside of the circle.

In fact, Liu Lanxin was the most suitable wife candidate in Pei Yusheng’s heart, and he planned to give the other two hairpins to her. If her maid told her that he gave two of the hairpins to Qu Qiuyan, it would totally ruin his big plan.

County Lady Jingyu noticed the hairpin in Qu Moying’s hand and took a careful look at it. Then she said in a low voice, “That pearl hairpin…looks quite familiar.”

She turned to glance at Pei Yusheng with a meaningful look on her face.

Hearing her words, Pei Yusheng suddenly remembered something. When his mother wanted to pick County Lady Jingyu as his wife, she once mentioned that she wanted to give her a set of hairpins, which was a tribute to the royal family. Maybe County Lady Jingyu even knew that the Crown Princess wanted it too, but his mother asked them from the empress.

“Moying, is it…the hairpin I gave it to you before?” Qu Qiuyan whispered to Qu Moying, reminding her again while touching the one on her head.

She thought Qu Moying would ask her why she got something from the royal palace.

“Third Sister, did you give me another one? You didn’t give this one to me? You couldn’t possibly have such a valuable hairpin!” Qu Moying had been waiting for this question from Qu Qiuyan for the whole time. Before, she was even worried about how she could pass the buck to Qu Qiuyan if she didn’t say anything.

“Moying, what…what do you mean?” Qu Qiuyan was stunned for a second and opened her eyes widely in shock, “I gave it to you when we were at Grandmother’s yard, and Granny Wu even saw it! Are you saying that I’m lying?”

“Granny Wu was indeed there, right behind us when you gave the hairpin to me. How about we invite her here and ask her about it?” Qu Moying said in a flat tone. At that time, she purposefully blocked Granny Wu’s sight. Granny Wu indeed saw Qu Qiuyan giving a hairpin to Qu Moying, but she definitely didn’t see which one.

“Then where’s the hairpin I gave to you?” Qu Qiuyan’s face turned pale due to anger. She never expected Qu Moying to be so bold to use what she said and blame it on her.

“After I said goodbye to you, an old maid bumped into me and made me lose the hairpin. It happened in front of First Sister’s yard, and I saw her maid standing at the door at that time. She should’ve heard everything,” Qu Moying continued.

Qu Xuexin was a smart girl, and a smart person knew how to make the best choice in this kind of situation. She would definitely not choose to lie and cause herself trouble.

“Third Sister, you already asked me once. Didn’t I tell you the same reason before? You even said you were going to tell Grandmother. Haven’t you forgotten it already?” Qu Moying seemed even more undisturbed.

Hearing her words, Qu Qiuyan remembered she did say something similar before. But she was talking about this pearl hairpin. Why did it suddenly become a totally different hairpin? It sounded not right at all.

And she became the person related to Gao An?

It even sounded like she was the one trying everything to frame Qu Moying and ruin her name. Qu Qiuyan took a glance over people’s faces and found them all looking at her with suspicion.
