"What, aunt, you want me to move now?" Yu Qingmeng looked at Yu in disbelief.
Unexpectedly, after Yu went to the lady's place, not only did she not get any benefit, but she was even asked to move out.
Yu was also a little embarrassed and annoyed by her gaze. She had said too much before. She tugged at the handkerchief in her hand and whispered, "I'll have someone help you to stay in the guest room. Just say you'll stay here for a few days. After today, she won't have the nerve to stay here. I'll just send her away in a sedan chair as soon as possible."
Yu Qingmeng had always believed this, but now she had to raise doubts: "Aunt, will your idea work? Don't let any evil girl come out again?"
"How could it be impossible? I've already contacted them." Yu was questioned by a junior, and her face didn't look good. She said coldly, "Don't think too much about it. Don't argue with her at this time. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it might be linked to us. It just so happens that you are busy moving now, and I am also busy and can't spare the time. If something really goes wrong, it can't be blamed on us."
Yu Qingmeng nodded doubtfully, sat up and washed up, while selecting the items he liked one by one and preparing to move them over.
She had lived in Qianyue for quite a while, and everything here was picked out by her from Yu's place. Everything was tailored to her preferences and habits. Now she had to move, although it would only be a few days, and there was nothing suitable in the place. She really didn't like the place, so she asked her maid to bring some things that could be moved over.
For example, the dressing table, the wash basin, and the set of exquisite carved mahogany tables and chairs...
None of the items are very big, so at most two people will be needed to move them together. For the smaller items, a few maids and old women have already been asked to start moving them.
Even if she was only staying for a few days, Yu Qingmeng didn't want to use those ordinary items in the guest room. Qu Moying couldn't really move in anyway, so it was just a formality. No one would know if she took these things away.
There are a few exquisite items on the antique display cabinet, which are also her favorites. If they are placed here without an owner, she doesn't know if they will be lost. It is better to take them with her and bring them back when she moves back later.
Yu went back first to prepare for the invitation of He Dapan. Of course, Yu could not do this herself, and Qu Zhizhen was not at home at the moment, so she used the name of her son Qu Mingcheng.
The post was delivered yesterday, and we are waiting for He Dapan to come today.
"Miss, the fourth lady is here!" A maid hurried in to report.
"What is she here for?" Yu Qingmeng was stunned and reached out to press her head. She had a long band tied on her head, which looked like the veil that Qu Moying used to wear. When Yu asked her to pretend to be sick, she had someone tie it on her head.
But she had never tied it up before, and it felt uncomfortable for a while. She pressed it from time to time, for fear that it would fall off accidentally.
"He said he came to see you." said the maid.
"Just say I'm not feeling well and I won't see you!" Yu Qingmeng said unhappily. She got angry when she saw Qu Moying's look. She had a high opinion of herself and thought she was as beautiful as a flower, but she was not as good as a half-blind man. She was forced to move to the guest room by an ugly and blind girl. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
The maid retreated and went outside to report to Qu Moying who was standing in the yard: "Fourth Miss, our young lady is really not feeling well and cannot see you."
"Your young lady? Are you a maid from the Yu Mansion?" Qu Moying looked the maid up and down, and seeing that she was dressed like a maid from the Qu Mansion, he said coldly.
The maid's face flushed.
All the servants here were maids and old women assigned to Yu Qingmeng by Yu family. They always addressed her as "our young lady" and treated Yu Qingmeng as their master.
But in fact, their master has never been Yu Qingmeng.
"Fourth Miss... I am... a maid in the mansion." The maid lowered her head.
"Since this is the Qu Mansion, our young lady is your master, why don't you get out of the way!" Yu Chun scolded.
The maid's face flushed, and she glanced at the Fourth Young Lady behind Yuchun. Finally, she did not dare to stop her and stepped aside.
Qu Moying took Yuchun and slowly entered the main house.
In the main room, Yu Qingmeng was still sulking in front of the dressing table. Suddenly, she saw Qu Moying coming in. She stood up in anger. There was no one else around at this time, so she didn't need to pretend too much. She put aside her usual soft and weak appearance and looked down at Qu Moying who was walking slowly. "Qu Moying, what are you doing here?"
She is older than Qu Moying, and half a head taller than the slim-looking Qu Moying. At this moment, she looks very imposing.
"I came to see if Miss Yu has moved." Qu Moying stood there indifferently, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. He looked at Yu Qingmeng with a long white gauze tied on her forehead, and said softly.
"What do you mean?" Yu Qingmeng gritted his teeth.
"It's nothing, I'm just afraid that Miss Yu will take something with her when she leaves here. Everything here belongs to our family, so it would be inappropriate for Miss Yu to take anything with her."
Qu Moying said lightly.
I glanced at the antique shelf, and there were several obvious marks on it. New! The things in those compartments were gone. The table was still there, but a few chairs were missing. As for the small boxes in front of the dressing table, they were all neatly arranged, and it was obvious that there were quite a few ornaments inside.
Seeing Qu Moying turning around to the dressing table, Yu Qingmeng reached out and pressed on a few jewelry boxes: "These are all mine!"
"Miss Yu brought it from the Yu Mansion?" Qu Moying asked.
She had asked Nanny Miao to find out, and basically everything Yu Qingmeng had in this mansion belonged to the Qu Mansion, even the jewelry was prepared for her by Yu.
Compared to herself, a proper lady, this cousin seems like the master of this mansion.
Yu Qingmeng's face turned red, then blue, and then pale after being asked this question. She pressed her hands tightly on the table, wishing she could slap Qu Moying twice.
This blind girl, how dare you say that!
It sounded as if she had stolen something from the Qu Mansion. Yu Qingmeng had always thought that everything here belonged to her. When she heard Qu Moying say this, she flew into a rage: "Blind man, what nonsense are you talking about!"
The words were very insulting.
Yu Chun's face turned red with anger.
Qu Moying looked at Yu Qingmeng with a cold look in his eyes: "Miss Yu, was I wrong? Why do you feel guilty?"
"This is where I've lived for so many years. Everything here belongs to me. If I move a few things away, what does it have to do with you? Who do you think you are? You're just a blind man that the Qu family doesn't want. You actually want to steal my things. Don't you know what kind of person you are? How dare you be so shameless?"
Yu Qingmeng was so angry that she spoke without thinking.
When she was with Qu Qiuyan, she often laughed at Qu Moying and never took her seriously. She even felt that she was not as good as the servants in the mansion. But now she was stabbed by the person she despised the most. Yu Qingmeng could no longer control her anger.
Qu Moying curled her lips in sarcasm, her eyes fell through her veil on Yu Qingmeng's face which showed her arrogant and angry expression.
Yu Qingmeng occupied everything in the Qu Mansion and regarded herself as the master of the Qu Mansion, but regarded herself, the young lady of the Qu Mansion, as an outsider who had robbed her of everything. This kind of robber theory is really despicable.
"Ms. Yu, don't you think it's shameless?" Qu Moying said lightly.
"You...you ugly, blind, and cheap girl, how dare you talk to me like that!" Yu Qingmeng cursed angrily.
Qu Moying took a step forward calmly, raised his head and looked at Yu Qingmeng, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips, "Ugly and blind? Miss Yu, you are a guest from afar, you insult the host, and you are flirting with my fiancé, are you trying to let everyone in the mansion know about this?"
"The wife of the Marquis of Yongning is coming to visit us today. If this marriage is cancelled, your affair with Master Xu will be made public. I wonder if Master Xu is willing to be engaged to you and marry you under such circumstances? He has maintained a good reputation for so many years, but now it has been ruined because of Miss Yu. Will Master Xu still remain the same?"
Qu Moying's words came one after another, making Yu Qingmeng's face turn red, but then her face changed drastically, her feet felt weak, and she took two steps back involuntarily.
The cancellation of the engagement between the two families was something she had always hoped for, and she had even wanted to make it happen, but Xu Lipeng implicitly asked her to wait, saying that he had the best way.
They said that his reputation must not be ruined, as it would affect his future career.
But she had waited too long, and she was not young anymore. However, she knew Xu Lipeng's taboos. If she ruined things this time, she was worried that Xu Lipeng would not marry her again.
At that time and place, she just wanted Qu Moying to see clearly that she and the Prince of Yongning were a couple, and to give Qu Moying a warning.
"You...what nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Qingmeng finally managed to say this after a long while, "At that time...it happened suddenly...Prince Xu just saved me."
"Saved you? He gave up my fiancée, but saved a passerby like you, and even sent you back?" Qu Moying said coldly, "Miss Yu, won't you tell me that there's nothing between you and Master Xu? When we were in the car before, didn't you tell me again and again that you and Master Xu had been entangled for a long time? Why don't you dare to do it now?"
Her light-colored cherry lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of mockery, and then the corners of her mouth slightly flattened, "Or, does Master Xu not want to marry you at all, but just want to take a concubine?"
These words struck Yu Qingmeng's heart, bringing out the truest fear in her heart. Yu Qingmeng took two steps back, put her hands on the table, and her breathing became heavy.
It's not like she didn't have such a guess, but she had always denied it. Now that this unbearable thing was brought out by Qu Moying, it was as if her worst thoughts were being dissected in front of everyone, and she was being pointed at by all the people she had looked down upon in the past.
His body was trembling, and with the force of his hands pressing on the table, Yu Qingmeng's eyes showed a hint of madness. He just wanted to throw all the suffering on Qu Moying and let her be stepped on by him.
She said loudly, "Qu Moying, I am the one who is in tune with Master Xu. Master Xu promised me that he would marry me. Who are you? You are an ugly blind and cheap girl. What can the master covet? Even if you marry Master Xu, whether you live or die is under the control of the master and me. Do you really think you are the fourth lady of the Qu Mansion?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The door was kicked open heavily.
They both looked back in astonishment...
