Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 134: The Son of the Second Branch Who Was Truly in Grief

When Xiao Haitang came to find Qu Moying again, Qu Moying was still waiting in the same place.

Seeing that Qu Moying was still there, Xiao Haitang heaved a sigh of relief. Just now, after she angrily went back, her aunt reprimanded her fiercely, telling her to keep a close eye on Qu Moying and not let her run around. She had to remain deaf to whatever annoying words Qu Moying said.

Xiao was also afraid that Qu Moying would cause trouble secretly again, so she became alert and sent someone to keep an eye on her.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Xiao Haitang even went to the front to find the Qu Mansion’s other young ladies and come over together.

“Fourth Lady, how is the visit? Can we go now?” Xiao Haitang stepped forward and said with a smile, as if the dispute between her and Qu Moying did not exist.

Qu Moying nodded with a smile and stood up, “Oh, I’ve visited the place. I was waiting here for you to come back.”

“I’m really sorry. Something was up just now, or I would have come back earlier,” Xiao Haitang apologized politely.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries as if nothing had happened earlier. Qu Qiuyan’s eyes darkened as she looked at them.

She did not believe that nothing had happened between the two of them.

Xiao Haitang and her were considered to have a good relationship. Thus, she knew that the person Xiao Haitang wanted to marry was her cousin. She had heard that the two families also had this intention. It was just a matter of time now. At this moment, Earl Ling’an’s Mansion had expressed that they wanted Qu Moying to marry into their family. Xiao Haitang definitely would not tolerate this matter.

Others might not know what kind of person Xiao Haitang was, but Qu Qiuyan knew about her. Before she came, she had already written a letter to Xiao Haitang and told her everything about how Earl Ling’an’s Mansion had asked the Qu Mansion about the marriage with Qu Moying. Therefore, it was impossible for Xiao Haitang to be on friendly terms with Qu Moying.

She had originally thought that Xiao Haitang must have made a move. After all, this was Earl Ling’an’s Mansion. Qu Moying had never been here before. Anything could happen here. But now, nothing had happened. It was really suspicious.

Her gaze swept from Qu Moying to Xiao Haitang. Both of them seemed to be on friendly terms, and their smiles were also very amiable.

This was different from what she had imagined. What went wrong?

Qu Qiuyan did not know that when Qu Moying came to the Ji Family yesterday, she even dared to confront Xiao, not to mention Xiao Haitang. Therefore, Xiao was very vigilant against Qu Moying. She repeatedly told her niece to be careful of Qu Moying and to keep an eye on her to prevent her from causing trouble.

Although Xiao Haitang did not care, she listened to Xiao readily. Originally, she did have some thoughts, but now it was just a warning. She did not expect that she would be irritated by Qu Moying.

“Miss Xiao, can I go to the mourning hall to pay my respects again? I don’t have the mood to admire the scenery right now,” Qu Moying got straight to the point and said to Xiao Haitang.

Xiao Haitang’s heart skipped a beat. When her aunt asked her to keep an eye on Qu Moying, she also repeatedly said that no matter what Qu Moying’s reason was, she should not take her to the mourning hall again.

“You have already paid your respects just now. If you go again, they have to prepare new candles and incense sticks again,” Xiao Haitang quavered awkwardly.
