Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 143: Bedside Discussion between the Vicious Master and Maid

“I-I didn’t…” After being interrogated repeatedly by Qu Moying, Yu was extremely aggrieved for being retorted back at every instance. Yu was already weak, and now she was angry to the point that the taste of blood appeared in her mouth. She clasped her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Madam!” Hai Lan rushed over in panic and cried out.

“What’s going on?” Qu Zhizhen’s voice suddenly came from the door. Qu Moying took a step back and gave a deep bow to Qu Zhizhen.

“Father!”

“Why are you here?” Qu Zhizhen glanced at Qu Moying and asked indifferently.

“I came to visit Second Madam,” Qu Moying answered. She had never called Yu mother, always Second Madam. The Old Lady, Qu Zhizhen, and even Yu had never raised any objection at the address.

“Second Master, Fourth Lady irritated Madam so much that Madam fainted,” Hai Lan immediately complained with tears in her eyes as soon as she saw Qu Zhizhen. Yu, who was on the bed, tilted her head and fainted.

Yu used a lot of strength just now and even vomited blood, so she felt a little dizzy already. No one could tell that she pretended to faint now.

“Father, I just wanted to ask Second Madam some things,” Qu Moying lowered her head and said indifferently.

Without a word, Qu Zhizhen looked at Qu Moying with some scrutiny. Although Qu Moying lowered her head, she could sense this kind of scrutiny, and she sneered. She had heard at the door that Qu Zhizhen’s breath suddenly became deeper and faster. But that was when she asked the last question, not when Yu vomited blood.

Her so-called father was not concerned about Yu as much as Qu Moying had imagined.

This was a somewhat unexpected confirmation.

“If you’re just here to visit her, why do you irritate her so?” Qu Zhizhen asked coldly.

“Father, I just want to know the truth!” Qu Moying raised her pale face and answered stubbornly.

Qu Zhizhen was silent again. After a long time, he waved his hand and grunted impatiently, “I already know about this matter. Go back. Don’t come again if you don’t have any business here.”

“But Father…” Qu Moying bit her lips, looking upset. Everyone outside the mansion knew about this matter, but no one inside the mansion had said anything since Qu Moying’s return. Or more precisely, Qu Zhizhen had not expressed his opinion.

It was as if what Yu did was really just an accident.

“I know this. Now go back!” Seeing that Qu Moying was still not leaving, Qu Zhizhen berated her with a face full of displeasure.

This time, Qu Moying shut her mouth and did not speak again. After bowing to Qu Zhizhen, she lowered her head and turned to leave. Even though she had her head lowered, Qu Zhizhen could see the aggrieved expression that flashed across her face. After a moment of silence, he watched Qu Moying leave.

Yu Dong casually placed the food basket at the entrance of the room, turned around, and chased after Qu Moying.

“My lord… I didn’t frame her.” Yu, who was on the bed, woke up at the right moment. She looked at Qu Zhizhen, who was watching Qu Moying’s back silently, and sobbed with red eyes.

“Yu, don’t try to talk your way out of it! Do you think I will tolerate you if it isn’t for the sake of our children?” Qu Zhizhen turned around coldly and looked at Yu’s thin, haggard face.

“My lord, I… I swear to the heavens that it wasn’t me. I didn’t do anything to those clothes. I-It was Qu Moying! She must have wanted to frame me. That’s why such a thing happened!” Yu cried loudly. She reached out and pulled twice in the air, as if she wanted to grab Qu Zhizhen’s sleeve. However, the two of them were a little further away and her hands fell weakly.
