Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 88: Big News! The Crown Princess Passed Away

“I have my own ways. Don’t worry about it. All you need to do is be a noble lady, staying in your room, doing some embroidery, and reading some books until the situation calmed down. As for Qu Moying, we still have your father’s support, remember?” Yu sneered.

“Okay. After Father comes back, I will teach that low-life girl a good lesson!” Qu Qiuyan said resentfully. She had never lost this big before, and she would make sure to ask her father to give Qu Moying some proper punishment.

Father trusted her and her mother the most. If she and Yu both said the same things, Qu Qiuyan was sure that her father would make Qu Moying pay for what she did.

When Qu Zhizhen came back, it was fifteen minutes before one pm. Hearing he first went to the Old Lady’s yard, Qu Qiuyan couldn’t wait anymore and hurried there with her maids. When she arrived at the Old Lady’s yard gate, she saw Qu Zhizhen coming out and rushed over.

“Father, Moying framed me!” Seeing her father, Qu Qiuyan walked up and said pitifully as tears formed in her eyes.

She knew that her father liked her mother acting feebly, so she learned well from her mother. As long as Qu Qiuyan showed this sad face, Qu Zhizhen was willing to promise her anything she wanted.

However, Qu Zhizhen pulled a long face and threw her a glare, “Talk to me later when I have time.”

He passed by his daughter directly this time, totally ignoring her complaint.

Such a thing never happened before. Stunned by her father’s reaction, Qu Qiuyan thought of the Old Lady immediately. That annoying old woman must’ve said something to her father. Although she tried to rush over as quickly as possible, she still didn’t make it in time.

“Father, it’s true. Qu Moying tried to frame me, but Grandmother…Grandmother always protects her. Father…” Qu Qiuyan walked up and grabbed Qu Zhizhen’s sleeve, the look on her face even more heartbroken. She raised her head and stared at Qu Zhizhen with those watery, pitiful eyes.

If it were before, Qu Zhizhen would immediately stop and comfort his daughter. However, he didn’t have time for this right now.

“I still have something to do. Go tell your mother about it,” he said impatiently while shaking off Qu Qiuyan’s hand.

The impact made Qu Qiuyan stagger back and almost fall to the ground. She looked at her father in shock, “Father, Mother can’t help me either. Since Moying has Grandmother’s protection, what can my mother do about it?”

“If she can’t even deal with these trifles, what else can she do?” Qu Zhizhen blurted, almost irritated by his daughter’s persistence, and then he left quickly.

Meanwhile, Yu was rushing over as well. When she walked to a flowering shrub not far from them, she heard what her husband said. His impatient words hit Yu’s heart hard. As the expression on her face suddenly changed, she covered her belly, leaned on a maid’s shoulder with her eyes turning red.

She had never expected her obedient husband to say such words and blame her for mismanaging the family. Did he think she was incompetent to deal with the trifles in the mansion?

She hurried over because she also got the news that Qu Zhizhen went to the Old Lady’s yard immediately after returning. However, she didn’t expect to hear such hurtful words from him. Feeling heartbroken, Yu started to doubt if she was just a mansion butler in her husband’s eyes.

“Mother!” Qu Qiuyan saw Yu and rushed over with her full speed, feeling aggrieved. Yu tried to avoid her subconsciously, but they still bumped into each other since Qu Qiuyan ran too fast. If Hai Lan didn’t try to pull Qu Qiuyan away, she would definitely make Yu fall to the ground because of her carelessness.
