"Greetings, Madam Qu." Yan Yu stepped forward, bowed, and said with a smile. His expression showed the bearing of a young master from a wealthy family, and he really looked like a good person.
Qu Moying pursed her lips slightly. She was blind in her previous life and it seemed that she was still blind now. She actually regarded a scoundrel as a good person. She was really blind.
Fortunately, in this life, even if this person looks like a good person, I have been on guard early on.
"Second Young Master Yan?" The lady had calmed down. She looked up at him and asked.
"That's right." Yan Yu said with a smile, "I wonder if the Madam wants to talk to me about anything?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Qu Moying. Everyone could see that there was a smile in his eyes. The person who came in to see him the most was Qu Moying.
Qu Moying took a step forward, walked in front of Yan Yu, pointed at the clothes and jewelry box on the stone table, and said bluntly: "You are the Second Young Master Yan, right? Are these things his?"
"It is indeed mine." Yan Yu smiled, his eyes falling on Qu Moying's face. It was the first time he looked at this face directly. Her cherry lips were pale under the veil, but her jade-like face was not dull, revealing an inexplicable temperament. Even with the veil covering her face, she was indeed not as ugly as the legend said.
But, so what? A person with an ugly heart is more hateful than one with an ugly appearance!
"Why did Second Young Master Yan give these things to Second Sister? When did he send them? Second Sister rarely leaves the house, so how could Second Young Master Yan send them to Second Sister?" Qu Moying raised her eyes to look at Yan Yu and said without dodging, without a trace of shyness on her face.
Even though Yan Yu looks good, she is still far inferior to Pei Yuanjun. Even Pei Yuanjun would not make her feel shy. The most solid thing is for both parties to get what they need.
So-called feelings? They are so fragile, she won't believe them anymore.
I have seen many young ladies from aristocratic families who, on one hand, despised my character, but on the other hand, acted shy in front of me. It was disgusting to watch. But the Miss Qu Si in front of me was a pleasant surprise. Her behavior was open and aboveboard, without the slightest shyness. However, the meaning of her words sounded more interesting.
"What did Fourth Miss Qu say?" Yan Yu asked, clapping his fan in his palms. He looked thoughtfully at Qu Caiyue who was kneeling on the ground and crying, then looked at Qu Moying.
"Second Master Yan, have we met before?" Qu Moying suddenly changed the subject.
The words came out so fast that Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, but then he smiled and said, "We just met today!"
If you have met someone today, you can also give them a gift today. After all, sometimes if you fall in love with someone, it is very simple.
"Thank you very much for the help you extended at the market today, Mr. Yan." Qu Moying turned sideways and saluted. There was no bias in his behavior, it was very natural.
Yan Yu didn't understand what medicine she bought, so he became cautious for a moment. He returned the greeting and said, "Miss Qu Si, you are too polite. It's just a small favor."
The lady looked at the two of them and remained silent.
"Even though Second Young Master Yan has done me a favor, I still want to ask, when did you give Second Sister the gift? The Qu Mansion has always been very strict in its investigations, so how could Second Young Master have given Second Sister the gift so early? This matter has made my grandmother very angry. Second Young Master Yan, please explain clearly, otherwise our family will have to contact your family to explain it clearly."
Qu Moying's face, which had just been smiling faintly, immediately turned cold, her lips pursed tightly, and her eyes fell through her veil on
Yan Yu could sense the coldness in her eyes.
Yan Yu subconsciously looked at Qu Qiuyan. As soon as he heard this, he knew something was wrong. What did he mean by giving it to Qu Caiyue? It was obviously meant to be given to Qu Moying. Could it be that something went wrong
If he messed up, he couldn't say what he had said before, otherwise his father would break his legs.
Although there were some incidents before, it is still love between a man and a woman, which is unreasonable at most. If the Qu family must rely on me, I can also let Qu Moying be my concubine. Anyway, it is impossible for her to be my legal wife, and my father will understand. The one who is engaged is the wife, and the one who runs away is the concubine. Everyone knows this.
Qu Moying is willing to be lowly and want to have an affair with me, so of course she is just a concubine.
But the current situation seems wrong. It would be bad if my father knew that I had framed a woman!
With an awkward smile, Yan Yu retracted his gaze: "I really don't know about this matter. Maybe the servants misunderstood."
"What do you mean by misunderstanding?" Qu Moying said without giving in.
"This dress and earrings are indeed mine, but I didn't have anyone give them to your second young lady... It's just... I gave them to another young lady, and the servant gave them to the wrong one." Yan Yu had to explain. For the first time, he felt that it was fortunate that the Fourth Young Lady Qu in front of him had an eye disease, otherwise, he would not have been able to speak so fluently if he had looked into her eyes.
This was really embarrassing. The person they wanted to harm didn't get harmed, but instead Qu Caiyue got hurt.
For someone like Qu Caiyue, even if she is a concubine, he is at a loss, okay!
"Given it to other young ladies? I wonder which family it is from? Why did your servant come to my grandmother's yard and say she was looking for me?" Qu Moying did not give in. He just found out that a strange maid who said she was looking for him actually went to the lady's yard by mistake.
The lady's courtyard was separated from his own by Qu Xuexin's courtyard, but he actually went to the wrong one.
The lady's eyes also fell on Yan Yu, looking at him suspiciously.
"Originally, the matter of Second Master Yan has nothing to do with our family. Second Master Yan can send whoever he wants, but now it has to do with Second Sister. Second Master Yan, please explain clearly. In addition, a maid saw Second Master Yan and his men circling outside Grandmother's courtyard before. What does this mean?"
Qu Moying continued to ask without waiting for Yan Yu to think of how to answer.
Questions came one after another, making it difficult for Yan Yu to answer. He put away the cynical smile on his face and his gaze fell on Qu Moying's face again, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Second Young Master Yan, please speak!" the lady said coldly.
"It's hard to say about this matter, Madam. I had made an appointment with someone and had someone send something over. She said she was moving in here, so she came to take a look. Later, she said she was from the Qu Mansion, which was obviously different from the previous one. So I asked the maid to randomly call in a young lady's name to see if she made a mistake. I didn't expect that she actually used the name of the Fourth Miss Qu. I'm really sorry."
Yan Yu reacted quickly and had already thought of a countermeasure by this time. He bowed deeply to Qu Moying and said apologetically.
"As for who these gifts are for, please let me know, Madam. I really can't ruin the young lady's reputation." Yan Yu hesitated and said unclearly.
The lady looked at him coldly, causing him to lower his head in shame.
Although this is what was said, it was just for show, but everyone knew the details, but if we continue to argue about this kind of thing,
, which will result in both sides suffering losses.
Yan Yu also regretted it at this time. He inexplicably wanted to look up to see Qu Moying's expression. As soon as he looked up, he immediately realized that something was wrong and lowered his head again.
The courtyard fell silent. Even Qu Caiyue didn't dare to make a sound even though she was crying. Then she heard the lady slowly say, "Since Second Young Master Yan sent the wrong gift, please take it back. From now on, please stay away from Second Girl."
"Yes... yes, definitely." Yan Yu felt relieved. He felt that Qu Moying was still looking at him. He blushed for some reason. This explanation was far-fetched, but since no one had said it out loud, it was the best.
The lady didn't want Qu Caiyue to be his concubine, so of course he wouldn't force her. He had never thought of making Qu Caiyue a concubine in the first place. This was the best way, and everyone didn't break up.
"Madam, when I return, I will prepare a generous gift to apologize." Yan Yu said.
"No need to trouble Second Young Master Yan, let's stop here!" Madam Tai ordered the guests to leave, "Second Young Master Yan, please go!"
Yan Yu raised his head and looked at Qu Moying, only to see that she had turned around and stood beside the lady, her face looking inexplicably embarrassed.
"Miss Qu Si..."
"Second Young Master Yan, please." Qu Moying interrupted him calmly.
Yan Yu himself didn't know what to say. He just felt very embarrassed. He asked the servant to take the package, bowed to the lady, and then turned and left.
When he arrived outside the courtyard gate and saw a group of people standing outside, his face became even uglier. When he entered the courtyard, he thought it was Qu Moying. He had been plotting against her and didn't care about others eavesdropping. But now he didn't want others to go out and talk nonsense, implicating him and Qu Caiyue.
"Take the things and don't make the mistake again next time!" He glared fiercely at the servant and maid who followed him out.
"Yes, Second Young Master, we won't do it again!" The two servants lowered their heads hurriedly.
Unable to withstand the gazes of the people around him, Yan Yu turned around and left, as if there was a fire burning in his heart, which he could neither vent nor calm down...
Is what Yu Qingmeng and Qu Qiuyan said true? Qu Moying didn't look like a vicious person, but Qu Qiuyan didn't say a word today. It was obviously she and Yu Qingmeng who started this matter, but the second young lady of the Qu family got into trouble, and she didn't say a good word beside him.
Although he didn't expect the woman to save the situation, this kind of indifferent attitude really made him unhappy. He suddenly felt something in his heart, wondering if he had been deceived.
He had never had this thought before. He and Xu Lipeng grew up together and had a special relationship. He was very angry when he saw that his brother had to marry a shrew. After hearing what Yu Qingmeng said and later confirmed by Qu Moying's sister Qu Qiuyan, he immediately believed it.
After confronting Miss Qu Si head-on this time, Yan Yu had other ideas. Could it be that he was wrong...
After Yan Yu left, the yard became even quieter. The lady did not say anything, and no one else dared to speak. Qu Caiyue knelt on the ground, just wiping her tears.
"Girl Yan, tell me what's going on?" The lady was silent at first. Her cold eyes swept across the faces of everyone, and finally fell on Qu Qiuyan, who had been silent all the time, and asked slowly in a cold voice.
The lady was not blind, she saw all the little actions of the people just now...
