Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 114: A Visitor From the Ji Family

Both of them stopped from a distance.

After a short pause, Qu Moying walked up, curtsied to Qu Qiuyan, and left with Yu Chun immediately. Qu Qiuyan gazed at her coldly but didn't lose her temper this time.

It took her a while to actually hold back her anger. She had already realized she underestimated her stepsister before, and she couldn't let her guard down again. Right now, she finally received a message from Lord Jing. It was not the time to start another fight with Qu Moying. Qu Qiuyan's priority was power now, or all her hard work would become in vain.

After a few steps, Yu Chun made sure that no one was around. Then she looked back and asked in shock, "My lady, how come the Third Lady has such a good temper today?"

Qu Qiuyan and her maid were long gone.

"She is occupied with other things and doesn't have time to deal with me right now," said Qu Moying in a flat tone. Qu Qiuyan had to pass Lord Jing's test first, and it would be a tough one. After all, Pei Yusheng should know better than anyone about Qu Qiuyan's intention when she was alone with the Crown Prince in the altar room. It seemed like Qu Qiuyan hadn't earned his trust back yet.

"My lady, will the Third Lady frame you again?" Sensing Qu Moying's indication, Yu Chun was a bit flustered.

"What do you mean again? Hasn't she always been doing it?" Qu Moying lowered her head and chuckled. She was a thorn in Yu and her daughter's eyes long ago. If Ji Hanyue weren't reborn in Qu Moying's body, Qu Moying would be dead in that fire and long gone.

They set fire to take Qu Moying's life, and technically, their plan succeeded!

A feeling of agitation arose in Yu Chun's heart as she lowered her head slowly. The Second Madam and the Third Lady had never changed their attitude toward the Fourth Lady. Why would she still wish they could stop their scheme?

"My lady, will the Second Madam have her punishment this time?" Looking in the direction of Yu's yard, Yu Chun asked in caution.

"Hard to say." Qu Moying shook her head and looked in the same direction. "The Second Madam have managed the mansion for so long, and she still has her daughter and son. She is not so easy to deal with."

"Then, what should we do?" Yu Chun was a bit scared.

"Nothing much. We can only take one step each time." Qu Moying shook her head. The faint smile on her face was icy cold. No one knew it better than her that she was no longer the old Qu Moying after her rebirth. Regardless of the hardships, she would walk down the path of revenge firmly, step by step.

Yu Chun was shocked by her determination, also knowing what she said was the truth. Recalling everything the Fourth Lady had been through, she felt sorry for her. But gradually, this feeling turned into anger. Her master had always been a kind person, but those people just couldn't give up on taking her life. If Qu Moying didn't make a move ahead this time, she would be the one in the scandal with the Crown Prince.

Her master's status was different than the Third Lady's. No one would protect her or give her a second chance.

If the Fourth Lady was the one in trouble, the Second Master probably wouldn't spend any effort on helping her. Instead, he might even directly let her "die of illness."

As for the Fourth Lady's maids like Yu Chun, of course, they would be sold or killed.

"My lady, what's the next plan?" Yu Chun bit her lip to calm herself down. Somehow, her master's composed look eased her anxiety.

Her master was a good-hearted and intelligent girl. Yu Chun believed in her competence to get out of trouble.

"We go back and wait first..." Qu Moying couldn't finish her words as her eyes turned red. Waiting for what? For the announcement of her father's death. Because the Ji Family couldn't hold it anymore.
