They had suffered a lot of bullying in the past, and now in front of people who were not as good as them, the maids felt that they had to stand up straight and must not lower the dignity of their own mistress.
After hearing what she said, the onlookers became excited. Aren’t most of the people present the “untouchables” that the maid mentioned
This would kill most people with a stick.
"How can you talk like that? Your young lady is porcelain, you can't touch her."
"What is a pariah? It's better than a servant!"
"I don't know which family this maid belongs to, but she is so arrogant."...
Seeing so many people saying this, the maid panicked and subconsciously took a step back, not knowing what to say next.
"What happened?" Qu Mingcheng's voice came from behind the crowd. A servant pushed everyone to both sides, and Qu Mingcheng appeared with a frown.
His carriage was in front, actually not far away. He heard the commotion behind and heard from the servant that Xu Qinglu's carriage had an accident. Naturally, he would not stay out of it, so he just left.
He immediately turned the carriage around and arrived outside the clinic.
As soon as he came over, he heard a quarrel here. Everyone was saying that this maid was bullying others by taking advantage of her power. Qu Mingcheng hurried in to see what was going on.
As soon as she saw Qu Mingcheng, the maid seemed to have found her backbone. She had originally shrunk back, but now she took two steps forward and pointed at the woman angrily, saying, "These two people bumped into our young lady, but not only did they not admit their mistakes, they also tried to blackmail our young lady."
"There is such a thing?" Qu Mingcheng frowned and said unhappily.
“With so many people blocking the door, instead of helping our young lady to vent her anger, they are actually speaking for these two lowly people.” The maid felt more and more confident. She stretched out her hand and pushed everyone present inside.
“No, we admit our mistake, we’re sorry, it’s all our fault, you young lady can do whatever you want, just... just please forgive us this time.” The woman cried anxiously, trying to protect her daughter and step forward, but her face was pale without a trace of blood, and one hand was on her waist.
This situation doesn't look good.
Qu Mingcheng glanced at the woman coldly, then turned and walked inside.
The maid hurriedly followed, and the servant behind Qu Mingcheng blocked the door and prevented others from following in.
The woman was also stopped outside the door. Seeing the servant blocking the door, she did not dare to go in. She just stood aside holding her daughter's hand, silently shedding tears, which made people feel pity for her.
Everyone felt more and more sorry for the mother and daughter. As they didn't know what would happen next, they simply stayed at the door to watch the fun and to support the poor mother and daughter.
Qu Mingcheng strode in and saw Xu Qinglu sitting there. He was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else and asked anxiously, "How is it? Are you hurt?"
"I... I'm fine... I just hit my head." Xu Qinglu was really scared just now. She was not prepared for the collision and her forehead hit the wall of the carriage. She was still covering her forehead with a handkerchief, feeling very aggrieved. When she saw Qu Mingcheng, her eyes immediately became red.
"Let me see." Qu Mingcheng stepped forward and pulled down Xu Qinglu's hand. He looked at the big bump on her fair forehead and was very angry. "Where did this carriage come from? It didn't have any eyes to crash into you and made you look like this. Your health was not good to begin with. If anything happens, can they afford to pay for it?"
When they were outside just now, Qu Mingcheng also took a few glances at the mother and daughter. They were just ordinary women. Compared with the bump on Xu Qinglu's forehead, it was nothing.
A low cough came from behind, and an old doctor appeared.
Behind the curtain.
Xu Qinglu blushed and wanted to move away, but Qu Mingcheng didn't let her. He still held her hand and looked at the old doctor who came over: "Doctor, take a look at her. Is her injury particularly serious?"
The old doctor looked at the two of them still holding hands, and then looked at Xu Qinglu, who looked like an unmarried girl, and wondered what the relationship between the two was.
He nodded immediately, stepped forward to check Xu Qinglu, felt her pulse, and said, "It's not a big problem, just a bump on the forehead, go home and rest for a while."
"Doctor, where are the medicines?" Qu Mingcheng looked at the bump on Xu Qinglu's forehead and was really worried. In his mind, Xu Qinglu's body was extremely fragile. Not to mention a collision, even if nothing happened, her health was not good. This doctor was incompetent. Couldn't he see that
"This... doesn't require any medicine, just a little rest... and it will be fine." The doctor coughed again.
"What do you mean she doesn't need medicine? She has always been in poor health. After being hit like this... If there is really something wrong, it is better to take medicine early." Qu Mingcheng said indignantly, glaring at the doctor with displeasure.
"But this injury... is not serious." The old doctor thought Qu Mingcheng didn't understand.
Qu Mingcheng looks younger than the injured lady, so he must be concerned about her.
"What do you mean not serious? Does the doctor not know how to diagnose injuries? She is not in good health and has suffered from many illnesses in the past. It would be better if we could see her more clearly now." Qu Mingcheng said angrily, suppressing his temper.
Xu Qinglu felt a dull pain on her forehead. She had already felt wronged, and now seeing Qu Mingcheng defending her so wholeheartedly, tears began to fall. She lowered her head delicately and snuggled into Qu Mingcheng's arms. If it were in the past, she would not have lost her composure like this, but she had just been frightened and urgently needed someone to comfort her.
The person who came was Qu Mingcheng, and there was only one outsider, an old doctor, at the moment. An old doctor like this was the best at judging people, and if he was given some money, he would definitely not say anything nonsense. So she followed his wishes and lay in Qu Mingcheng's arms for comfort.
Sensing the fragility of the person in his arms, Qu Mingcheng became even more angry. He lowered his hand and hugged Xu Qinglu, "Doctor, please prescribe the medicine quickly. After the medicine is prescribed, we can go back and find another doctor to see."
Seeing that they were determined to do so, the old doctor shook his head helplessly and said, "Then please wait a moment, I will go and write a prescription."
Since others insisted on opening it this way, he just went along with it.
He turned around and went back behind the curtain to the back room to get the prescription.
Seeing that the old doctor had also left, Qu Mingcheng hugged Xu Qinglu and comforted her, "It's okay, it'll be fine. I'll find another doctor to see you later."
"I... I have a headache." Xu Qinglu became more and more fragile.
"It's okay, it's just the aftereffects of a collision, it's nothing serious." Qu Mingcheng said.
"Can't it be because... God can't bear it anymore with us, so... so he wants... to make me leave you?" Xu Qinglu raised her head with a sad face and said in a tender voice.
"What nonsense! Not even the heavens can separate us. Don't worry. After I go back, I will send a message to the Han residence. We will get the news immediately, and then we can... be together forever." Qu Mingcheng said softly. He felt that the person in front of him hurt his heart.
Even at this time, I am still worried about my marriage.
There seemed to be voices coming from outside, a bit like the voice of a servant, and no one knew what was going on. But then the sound disappeared again. Qu Mingcheng didn't care and concentrated on comforting the delicate woman in his arms.
"Miss Han... will anything happen?" Xu Qinglu took this opportunity to ask with a gentle look on her face, as if she was really worried.
Like Miss Xinhan.
"No, what could possibly happen to her? Even if something did happen, it has nothing to do with you. We were originally a couple, but she didn't consider breaking off the engagement, and instead was wholeheartedly holding on to you. Even if something happened, it has nothing to do with you. You are just too kind, and you always consider others."
Qu Mingcheng said, he disagreed.
Something must have happened at the Han Mansion, otherwise how could they put the blame on Qu Moying? However, there was no need to tell Qinglu about this. She had such a gentle personality and was so wholeheartedly thinking about herself. If she told the truth, she would definitely not agree to canceling the engagement between herself and Miss Han.
Qu Mingcheng self-righteously explained it for Xu Qinglu in his arms.
"Miss Xu is really thoughtful. Even at this time, I am still considering an engagement with Mr. Qu. I wonder if Miss Xu and Mr. Qu are doing me justice? Or has there been an ambiguous relationship between Miss Xu and Mr. Qu for a long time? She broke off the engagement with me just to be with the kind-hearted Miss Xu?"
A cold voice came from the door, and the curtain hanging at the front door was pulled open. The thin Miss Han stood at the door with her back straight. The onlookers were all blocked behind her. After seeing the scene inside clearly, they all widened their eyes and gasped in shock.
Behind the door curtain, what was suddenly lifted up to be revealed to the public was Qu Mingcheng and Xu Qinglu hugging each other.
The most important thing is, what did they just hear? The lady who just came in is the lady inside, and the fiancée of the man inside.
And the young lady with the arrogant maid not only behaved indecently, but also hugged this young lady's fiancé tightly, which everyone saw.
"How despicable."
“This is the real shame.”
"What did you just say? You clearly want to snatch someone else's marriage, but you said you were worried. You are really good at pretending."
"Vile! Bah!"...
Everyone who had been scolded by Xu Qinglu's maid started scolding one after another, pointing fingers and criticizing.
Xu Qinglu's face turned blue, then red, and she suddenly pushed Qu Mingcheng away.
Qu Mingcheng didn't expect Miss Han to suddenly appear, and he was also shocked. After being pushed by Xu Qinglu, he stepped back twice before he came to his senses and said anxiously: "Miss Han, it's not what you see. I... I helped Miss Xu... a little."
"Yes...it was Second Master Qu who helped me up. I...there was nothing between us." Xu Qinglu also explained anxiously.
Miss Han looked at them with a sneer. Although she knew that what Princess Ying said was true, it was another matter. For so many years, she had always regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the Qu family. She did not expect that Qu Mingcheng deliberately wanted to cancel this marriage and deliberately provoked her to push her to death.
All this happened just because Qu Mingcheng had an affair early on and hooked up with this woman.
The British princess said that this kind of man is not worthy of her love, let alone her life.
He stepped back, gritted his teeth and held on: "Second Master Qu, since you want to marry her and you want to murder me, let's send this matter to the government!"
If two people have an affair, they cannot be sent to the government office, but if they conspire to kill me, then they can be dragged over...
As for what happens next, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that everyone knows about this matter…
After saying that, she turned and left. A servant behind her threw away the servant who had been covered with his mouth and pulled aside, spat into the room, and strode away.
