"Ms. Yu!" Xu Lipeng stopped and said gently.
"Where is the prince going?" Yu Qiumeng's eyes became more and more bright. She took a few steps forward and stood right between Qu Moying and Xu Lipeng.
It was as if he didn’t see Qu Moying.
"I have something to do with the Fourth Miss and I am going out for a while." Xu Lipeng said.
"You want to go out with Miss Qu... Fourth?" Yu Qiumeng was very surprised. She took a step back and turned her head to look at Qu Moying who was standing behind her for the first time. "Miss Fourth, I just happen to want to go out on the street too. Can I go with you?"
"Miss Yu, please do as you please!" Qu Moying said indifferently.
"Then I will go with you!" Yu Qiumeng was very happy, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, all gentle. A girl like this must be gentle and affectionate.
Yu Chun, who was standing aside, was already furious. Even a maid like her could see clearly what Miss Yu was thinking. She clearly wanted to spy on Master Xu, but she pretended to be so clever. She was so shameless.
Qu Moying's eyes skipped Yu Qiumeng and fell on Xu Lipeng who was standing opposite him. He pushed the matter to Xu Lipeng: "Miss Yu, whether you can go with us or not is still up to the prince. After all, it was the prince who mentioned this matter to my grandmother."
No matter what Xu Lipeng was thinking, since he was the one who started the matter, he had to be the one to make the decision. Qu Moying didn't intend to take the blame for him, and she still hadn't figured out Xu Lipeng's intentions.
It’s just right that I can see clearly through Yu Qiumeng.
Xu Lipeng's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned slightly, looking at Yu Qiumeng: "Miss Yu, I'm taking Miss Four to pick out some clothes. It's my mother's idea."
Of course, the meaning of this statement is rejection.
"That's perfect. I also want to pick out some clothes for the Madam's birthday, but I don't have many clothes to wear." Yu Qiumeng said happily in a sweet voice.
It seemed as if he didn't understand the rejection in Xu Lipeng's words.
Having said that, if Xu Lipeng refused again it would be too disrespectful to Yu Qingmeng, so he thought about it and nodded in agreement.
What was supposed to be a trip for two people turned into a trip for three people, and it seemed that Qu Moying was the one who had forcibly inserted himself in.
Xu Lipeng was walking in front, and Yu Qingmeng walked quickly, walking shoulder to shoulder with him, talking as they walked. The two spoke in one gentle and the other soft voice. If Qu Moying was not still Xu Lipeng's fiancée, even she would have thought that the two were a perfect match.
The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, a perfect match!
The corners of his lips curled silently, and he slowly followed the two people.
The carriage had already been prepared. Qu Moying got on the carriage first, and then Yu Qingmeng reluctantly said goodbye to Xu Lipeng and got on. Xu Lipeng got on his own horse, and the carriage slowly moved forward and turned out of the gate of Qu's mansion.
"Fourth Miss, how come Master Xu has time to accompany you to sell clothes today? Is it the Madam's idea?" Yu Qingmeng asked curiously as soon as she got on the carriage.
Qu Moying raised her eyes to look at her, her pupils beneath her veil were indifferent, but she ignored her.
"Fourth Miss, this is the capital city, and there are young ladies and ladies from aristocratic families everywhere. It is really impolite for you to speak to people like this. It will make people think that Fourth Miss is uneducated, and it may even bring bad reputation to the Qu family." Yu Qingmeng preached softly, and the sarcasm in her words was clear.
Yu Chun's face changed with anger. She looked at her young lady and saw that Qu Moying ignored her. She could only purse her lips helplessly. This young lady Yu was really shameless.
How can someone be so shameless while looking at Master Xu and belittling his own young lady
"Fourth Miss..." Seeing that Qu Moying still didn't speak, Yu Qingmeng turned up her sleeves disapprovingly. She was about to continue speaking when she was interrupted by Qu Moying rudely.
"Quack!"
Yu Qingmeng didn't hear what Qu Moying said clearly for a moment. Her hand stopped at her sleeve, and she looked up in astonishment and asked unhappily, "What did the fourth young lady just say? Are you scolding me?"
She was Yu's niece and spent more than half of the year in the Qu Mansion. She looked down on the Fourth Miss Qu who was thrown into a remote mountain villa and did not take her seriously at all.
There were not many people in the carriage, and she did not feel wronged. She said whatever she wanted to say. She had just seen Master Xu and Qu Moying together, and she felt jealous and envious. She didn't know what nice words she could say at this moment.
"Ms. Yu, are you deaf? Didn't you hear clearly?" Qu Moying leaned back and said coldly.
“You…how dare you say that…” Yu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment. She had just arrived at the Qu Mansion today and had not had the time to meet Yu and Qu Qiuyan. She didn’t know what happened in the Qu Mansion last night. Seeing that Qu Moying, who had always been submissive, dared to contradict her like this, she was so angry that her face turned pale.
"Miss Yu, do you think too highly of yourself? Aren't you just a woman who spies on other people's fiancés? Could it be that Miss Yu wants to be Master Xu's concubine?" Qu Moying raised the corners of his lips without any politeness.
There was no one else in the carriage, so Yu Qingmeng had no scruples, and neither did he.
Yu Qingmeng's face turned red, then blue, she pointed at Qu Moying with her handkerchief, her eyes reddened: "You...how can you say such a thing."
"Miss Yu did it, but can't people talk about it?" Qu Moying said indifferently, the corners of her lips under her veil raised more and more, revealing a bit of ridicule, "Like Ling Gu, first become a concubine, and then occupy the position of the main wife of someone else's family?"
When Yu first entered the family, she was just a concubine.
"You... Qu Moying, how dare you say that to your aunt? I'm going to tell your aunt." Yu Qingmeng was both ashamed and annoyed. Her voice unconsciously became louder and sounded a little like tears.
It would be extremely pitiful if you only listened to the sound.
"Miss Yu, this is really funny. You and your aunt have done this, and you still don't want anyone to say anything. Do you have the final say on everything in this world?" Qu Moying raised her lips, and her words became more and more sarcastic and sharp. "It's just that your aunt has this luck, but you may not. Master Xu doesn't take you seriously at all. Even if you are a concubine, Master Xu probably doesn't want you!"
Even if I become a concubine, Master Xu doesn't want me
These words hit Qingmeng's heart hard, and she was so excited that tears fell.
She suddenly yelled, "Stop the car! Stop the car!"
The carriage stopped, and Xu Lipeng's gentle voice came from outside the carriage: "What happened?"
As soon as the curtain was raised, Yu Qingmeng jumped down holding the hand of the maid. Her eyes were red and there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes. When she saw Xu Lipeng, she started to cry as soon as she spoke, her voice broken: "Xu... Xu Shizi..."
"What's wrong?" Xu Lipeng frowned.
“Miss Qu Si… she… she humiliated me… Since she doesn’t like me, then, then I… I… I’d better leave by myself!” Yu Qingmeng rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief and cried aggrievedly.
"She humiliated you?" Xu Lipeng looked up at An
If it was before, he would not have believed it. No matter how he looked at it, Qu Moying was bullied. But after seeing what happened on the pleasure boat in the lake, he began to doubt it. He reached out and gently knocked on the wall of the carriage, and asked gently, "Fourth Miss, what's going on?"
"Whatever Master Xu thinks is what it is." Qu Moying's leisurely voice came from the carriage, very peaceful, but also very cold!
The carriage happened to be parked at the intersection, blocking the road. Many people who passed by looked curiously at the carriage, then looked at Yu Qingmeng and Xu Lipeng who looked like a couple, and for a moment they all guessed what had happened.
Some people who were curious about the situation stopped and watched the fun.
Xu Lipeng's eyebrows twitched twice. He didn't want to be treated like a monkey.
"Miss Yu, please get in the carriage first. We'll talk later if there's anything." Xu Lipeng said. It would be rude to abandon Yu Qingmeng at this time, so he could only invite her to get in the carriage.
"My Lord, I... Fourth Miss Qu doesn't like me so much, I'd better leave by myself, so as not to... so as not to disturb you." Yu Qingmeng said she was leaving, but her feet did not move. She looked at Xu Lipeng with a pair of affectionate eyes, and the affection in her eyes was overflowing.
"Let's go upstairs first!" Xu Lipeng became impatient. More and more people were talking around him.
Many sharp-eyed people saw the affection expressed by Yu Qingmeng, and after listening to her words, they speculated on the identity of the woman inside. No matter how they listened, they felt that this Miss Yu looked illegitimate and did not seem to be a good person.
Xu Lipeng was also discussed as well.
"Prince..."
Yu Qingmeng hadn't noticed the surrounding environment yet, and she continued speaking in her sweet voice. In the past, when she said this, Master Xu had always been very comforting to her, and his expression was full of tenderness.
She wanted to let Qu Moying know that Master Xu liked her, not an ugly and blind fiancée like her, and that this marriage would never take place.
"Get in the car!" Seeing that Yu Qingmeng was still so ignorant, Xu Lipeng's face darkened and his voice became cold.
Seeing the annoyance on Xu Lipeng's face, Yu Qingmeng realized her situation. Her face turned red and she hurriedly held the maid's hand and got back into the carriage.
After getting into the carriage, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, the weakness on her face faded away, and she said to Qu Moying coldly and sarcastically: "Fourth Miss Qu, you are so ugly and blind, you don't think that Master Xu will be interested in you, right? You should think about how to cancel the engagement when you go back, or else Master Xu will cancel it, and you will have no face to stay in the mansion!"
Qu Moying ignored Yu Qingmeng's idea of seeking a sense of superiority over her. Since Yu Qingmeng dared to follow her today, she would not be polite!
He reached out, lifted the curtain on one side, and looked outside.
The carriage started moving slowly again, and the crowd dispersed when they saw that there was nothing to see.
Suddenly, a group of people and horses rushed over from the intersection ahead, with four riders in the lead, and their momentum was like thunder. Passers-by retreated to both sides one after another. The carriage stuck in the middle had just started, and had no time to avoid. He watched helplessly as the four riders crashed into them. The coachman let out a horrified cry and swung the whip in his hand.
Xu Lipeng wanted to save him, but it was too late and his face changed drastically.
When the two met, the startled horse roared, and the raised foot almost stepped on the face of the person opposite. Then a cold light flashed, blood splattered, and everyone screamed in horror...
