Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 89: Wring the Last Bit of Value From the Crown Princess

The news of the Crown Princess’s death also spread to the Qianyue House while Qu Moying was enjoying her reading time. Looking at Yu Dong, who was still panting from running, the book in her hand suddenly dropped to the ground, making a thud.

“My lady, what’s wrong?” Her reaction was a bit unexpected for Yu Dong, but then he remembered Qu Moying was the Crown Princess’s cousin, although she never met her in person. Hurriedly, he comforted her, “My lady, don’t be too upset. The Crown Princess had been unwell for a long time. It would happen sooner or later…”

Yu Dong couldn’t finish his words because he saw tears flowing down Qu Moying’s cheeks. Since he started to work for Fourth Lady Qu, they had been through a lot together, but he had never seen her crying!

“My lady, I’m sorry for your loss!” Yu Chun said worriedly as she and Yu Dong looked at each other, feeling a bit flustered.

Unlike Yu Dong, she used to see her master shedding tears quietly when they were still in the village. But after they came back to the Qu’s Mansion, the Fourth Lady seemed to become a totally different person. She was confident and brilliant, no longer the weak, introverted lady who didn’t like talking and hid everything in her heart.

Yu Chun felt very happy about her master’s change.

But right now, seeing her crying, Yu Chun thought of the old Fourth Lady who had been very helpless.

“I’m not feeling sad for her. I think life is much more painful than death.” Qu Moying stood up and walked to the window. She looked at the sky with tears still on her face, but her soft lips curled to a cold smile. The Crown Princess had finally “died!” Pei Luo’an chose a good time to announce it after such a long waiting.

When she heard that someone tried to assassinate Pei Yuanjun, she had already thought about it.

The Crown Princess’s death was meant to happen since the real Ji Hanyue had died long ago. It was not told to the public because she had just married into the Eastern Palace at that time, and Pei Luo’an didn’t want anyone to suspect him.

So, it was kept a secret to protect Pei Luo’an’s name!

They announced it now, again, to help Pei Luo’an get out of trouble. Since Pei Luo’an was deeply in love with the Crown Princess, everyone would think he was too sad to have anything to do with the assassin and wouldn’t suspect him at all. That was truly thoughtful of him!

Who would have thought that her death could be used to prove Pei Luo’an’s innocence? He didn’t stop until he wrung the last bit of value from her.

Pei Luo’an, Ji Youran… When she thought of these two people, a trace of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes, making her look as cold as a devil from hell. Since she was reborn, it was time to let them pay her back.

“My lady…”

Yu Dong was about to say something but got interrupted by Qu Moying. “As the Crown Princess’s cousin, I can attend the Crown Princess’s funeral, right?”

“Yes. Not only you, my lady, but the whole Qu Family also need to go. Any family related to the Eastern Palace should attend the Crown Princess’s funeral,” Yu Dong nodded. He was pretty familiar with all the etiquette.

“My lady, I can help you prepare the mourning clothes,” Yu Chun suggested politely since her embroidery was not bad.

“Alright!” Qu Moying nodded at her.

“My lady, shouldn’t your mourning clothes be provided by your family? Why do you need to prepare it by yourself? Moreover, you are not the only one who needs to visit the Eastern Palace. Every master in this mansion should go with you. How can they let you do the preparation work alone?” Yu Dong asked in confusion. In his opinion, Yu was responsible for all the preparation.
