Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 140: The Lost Amulet

Qu Moying walked over. The old maid retreated to the side and bowed respectfully. What a coincidence, she was Qu Qiuyan’s wet nurse.

Qu Moying silently curled up her lips. This wet nurse was the one who wanted to plot against her but ended up falling into the river.

“What is your business here?” Qu Moying stopped and looked at the old maid indifferently.

Panicked, the old maid quickly lowered her head. She did not want to say anything, but now that they met face to face, she had to say something. Thinking of Fourth Lady Qu’s ruthlessness, the old maid could not help but shiver in fear. Since the incident, she avoided Qu Moying every time she saw her from a distance away in the mansion.

But this time, the old maid had something to report to Second Master. She was absent-minded and filled with fright. She wasn’t aware that the person coming in her direction was the Fourth Lady. When she saw her, it was too late to turn around.

“I-It’s about Madam,” the old maid blurted vaguely.

“What about her?” Qu Moying continued to ask.

“I…” the old maid stuttered, not knowing whether to say it or not.

“I heard that you were the one who said that Third Lady wanted to harm our miss?” Yu Dong had heard about this matter from Yu Chun. After being in the mansion for so long, of course, he recognized Third Lady Qu’s wet nurse.

“I…” The old maid panicked and was about to kneel down when the nimble Yu Dong stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

Yu Dong had a smile on his face, but his tone was extremely cold when he said, “Nanny, are you afraid that Second Madam won’t know? That she won’t kill you?”

No one would hear the three of them talking, but someone might spot them here.

The old maid hurriedly shook off Yu Dong’s hand and stood up straight. She did not dare to do anything else. As she looked around and was certain that no one was near them, she lowered her voice and said, “Second Madam found a couple who claimed that Fourth Lady is their daughter and wanted to see her.”

After the old maid finished speaking, she bowed to Qu Moying and did not dare to stay any longer. She turned sideways and went to the study room.

The old maid had to spill the bean as she knew that if they continued to stay together, Madam and Third Lady would be suspicious even if she was innocent. She was very clear of their ruthlessness. Should that happen, not only her but her family would also be implicated. Her entire family would be punished because of her.

After hearing this, Qu Moying did not make things difficult for the old maid. She turned around and went back to her room with Yu Dong.

In the evening, Yu Dong received the news and came back to report the matter of the couple to Qu Moying. The couple truly existed, and they were from the village.

They used to have a daughter who was slightly younger than Qu Moying. When their daughter was a child, she suddenly disappeared.

Until now, they had no other children.

After Yu Dong finished telling Qu Moying the news, the former asked, “Miss, their daughter is gone. Why are they here to claim their child? Do they want to drag you into this matter?”

He wasn’t with Qu Moying from the beginning, so he was not clear about some things.

Yu Chun’s face became serious when she heard this. She grew up with Qu Moying since she was a child. Originally, she did not care about it, but she recalled the young scholar whom they met at the Dabei Temple. The man also hinted that their miss had an affair with him because he stayed overnight at the village for one night.
