Reborn to Be A Noble Wife - Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Qu Qiuyan Quarreled with Yu

“My lord, it’s true this time. I…” Yu continued.

Qu Zhizhen became more and more impatient and asked coldly, “Which time was it not true?”

“My lord… it was true every time. Why don’t you believe me but believe in Ying… I am pregnant with your child. Don’t you think about the child in my belly? If not, I would rather die.” Yu didn’t know why things were like this. She cried out and patted her belly. She didn’t believe that Qu Zhizhen didn’t care about the child.

Qu Zhizhen pushed her away and looked coldly at Yu. “Yu, don’t mess around with me. The child should have been aborted. Since you think the same way as me, it’s even better.”

“Wh… what…” Yu moved back on the bed in shock.

“Don’t you understand? You have taken so much strong medicine. How can you give birth to this child? I have asked the Imperial Doctor. You probably couldn’t give birth to this child. Even if it is born, it will be an abnormal child. What’s the use of having such a child?”

Qu Zhizhen said coldly.

He had indeed asked an Imperial Doctor about this in secret, and the Imperial Doctor had indeed said so. After hearing the Imperial Doctor’s words, Qu Zhizhen decided to give up the child in Yu’s belly.

Since this was a useless child, it didn’t matter whether Yu miscarried or not. Moreover, Yu was brazenly framing Qu Moying. Qu Zhizhen clearly knew that it was not the first time that Yu had framed Qu Moying.

In the past, he did not care about such things at all. His daughter, Qu Moying, hadn’t been brought up by him since she was a child, and she was blind. But recently, he felt that Qu Moying was not useless. She looked decent, and she behaved properly. In contrast, Qu Qiuyan, who was raised by him, behaved inappropriately many times, and she even did such a shameless thing in Dabei Temple.

Qu Zhizhen felt inexplicably irritable. In fact, he had calmed down after talking with his son. However, seeing that Yu did not behave herself but wanted to frame Qu Moying again, Qu Zhizhen couldn’t help but be angry.

He was annoyed because Yu and Qu Qiuyan just kept making trouble. He wasn’t in the mood to listen to Yu’s detailed description of the matter. He knew that it must be another trap. Not only did Yu frame Qu Moying, but Qu Qiuyan also framed Qu Moying. Yu misled her daughter.

If not for that person’s persuasion back then, he wouldn’t have chosen Yu, nor would he bring her back to the mansion. His mother was right about Yu. Yu was a troublemaker, causing chaos in the house.

“My… my lord…” Yu could not believe what she had heard. She looked at Qu Zhizhen, trembling all over with tears falling down her eyes.

She looked beautiful when she cried before, but now it only made Qu Zhizhen feel disgusted.

“I’ll have someone send you medicine later. Have a good rest after you take it. In the future, you should rest well in your yard. Don’t make any trouble. As for the people around you…” Qu Zhizhen said as he glanced at Hai Lan, who was also trembling. “Don’t come out unless necessary. I will have people send you the necessities like before.”

After saying that, Qu Zhizhen turned around to leave.

Yu suddenly pounced forward, grabbed Qu Zhizhen’s sleeve, and cried miserably, “My lord, that’s your son…”

Qu Zhizhen ignored her. He shook her hand off and turned to leave. Yu screamed behind him. He did not look back and went straight out of the room.

After waiting outside the door for a while, an old maid came in carrying a bowl of black medicine with a strong smell in her hand.

“My lord!”

“Let Madam drink it.” Qu Zhizhen glanced at the bowl in front of him and ordered.

“If Madam doesn’t want to drink it… what should I do?” The old maid asked cautiously. Yu’s pained cry came from the room, sounding rather miserable.

“Ask Madam to enjoy it.” Qu Zhizhen emphasized the words “enjoy it”. He glanced coldly at the old maid and turned to leave.

The old maid had already understood what he meant. Just as she was about to enter the room, she suddenly saw Hai Lan rushing out of the room and shouting, “Quickly call a doctor… Something has happened to Madam.”

The old maid turned around to look at Qu Zhizhen, who had just walked to the gate of the courtyard, only to find that he ordered a young servant at the side, “Go get a doctor.”

Then, he left without looking back…

In the end, Yu miscarried. It was said that she miscarried after falling to the ground by accident.

When the doctor arrived, Yu had already had a miscarriage. He only prescribed some medicine for her to improve her health, and the Old Lady also asked Granny Wu to send some medicine for Yu.

When servants passed by Qingyu Garden, they could hear Yu’s miserable crying. The noise was really loud. As for what exactly had happened, no one knew. The yard was guarded again, and even Hai Lan, who could go out freely before, wasn’t allowed to go out.

The fact that Yu had been pregnant surprised everyone in the mansion, but realizing that Yu had taken all kinds of strong medicine before, everyone thought it was normal that she had a miscarriage.

Some people felt pity because it was not easy for Qu Mansion to have a child. However, Yu found out about her pregnancy so late that the child was already damaged. Now, she even miscarried.

Since Yu miscarried, her two children naturally had to visit her. The Old Lady temporarily allowed Qu Qiuyan to come out from her yard and let her visit Yu.

“Mother, you can’t even keep your baby. I heard that you made a scene, but nothing happened to Qu Moying. It’s really not worth it.”

Qu Qiuyan sat on the chair in front of the bed with a gloomy face. “What a pity. If you had known you would miscarry like this, you should have made a bigger fuss and pushed all the blame on Qu Moying.”

“Shut up!” Yu’s face was gloomy and pale. She raised her scarlet eyes and glared at Qu Qiuyan.

Qu Qiuyan had always been willful in front of Yu. She had never been reprimanded by Yu like this, so she immediately became angry. She hadn’t been in a good mood recently.

She suddenly sat up straight and sneered mercilessly, “Mother, why are you blaming me at this time? It’s all your own fault. You failed to kill her when she was a child. Now, she is back to harm me. You have always been proud of yourself, but you are the most useless because you can’t even deal with a child.”

Hearing that Qu Qiuyan was still mocking her at this time, Yu angrily picked up the teacup and smashed it at Qu Qiuyan. However, she was so weak that the teacup fell down in front of Qu Qiuyan, and several pieces of tea leaves flew on Qu Qiuyan’s face.

“Mother, I came to see you out of good intentions. I came to see if my future little brother is really gone. I didn’t expect you to treat me like this. Since that’s the case, I’d better go back. You don’t need me anyway. Perhaps if you did not miscarry, you will have an obedient child.”

Qu Qiuyan wiped her face. Looking at the tea leaves wiped off from her face, Qu Qiuyan was immediately annoyed. She stood up and uttered those words to Yu. Then, she turned around and left.

Behind her, Yu was trembling in anger. Qu Qiuyan’s words were like a knife stabbing into Yu’s heart. It hurt so much that Yu could not even speak. She only reached out to cover her chest. “You unfilial!”

“Yes, I am not filial, so why did you give birth to me? If you didn’t give birth to me, maybe you wouldn’t have to enter Qu Mansion and could marry someone else.”

Qu Qiuyan had reached the door but still mouthed back.

The meaning behind these words was, of course, to mock Yu for being dissolute back then and having a child before getting married. Then, she had to become a concubine in Qu Mansion. Although she was born in a low-ranking official’s family, she could be a legitimate wife if she married properly.

“You… you…” Yu was humiliated by her daughter’s words. She pointed at Qu Qiuyan’s back, wanting to say something. But her body suddenly went soft, and there was a sweet taste in her throat. Then, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hai Lan was so shocked that she hurriedly stepped forward to support her, patted her back to calm her down, and said in a low voice, “Madam… madam… please don’t be angry. Please take care of yourself.”

This time, Yu was seriously ill. Originally, she had been better off, but she was ill again, and she even looked like she was going to die.

Yu had a miscarriage because she fell off the bed. After Qu Zhizhen shook off Yu’s hand, Yu hit the corner of the bed and lost her child. When the doctor came over, Yu was already on the verge of death. She rested quite a while to recover from the miscarriage, but now Qu Qiuyan angered her like this, how could she withstand it?

Qu Qiuyan walked out angrily. She was also full of anger. She truly believed that her words were right and that she was implicated because Yu did not kill Qu Moying back then. Thinking that Old Lady Ji saw her meet a man outside at night, she felt even more upset.

She was going to enter Lord Jing Mansion, but she didn’t know what title Lord Jing would give her. She was afraid that Old Lady Ji would gossip about her with others, which would make it even more difficult to explain herself.

She wanted to see Lord Jing and tell him about her current situation. However, the people she sent did not see Pei Yusheng at all. She was only informed that Lord Jing was very busy these days and did not have time for her. She was told to wait patiently.

However, how could she not be worried? Her heart was already in a mess. She had no idea what would happen next.

Her reputation was already ruined. If Lord Jing did not want her, it would be impossible for her to marry well in the future.

“Sister, what’s wrong?” A leisurely voice came into her ears.

When she looked up and saw Qu Mingcheng’s face, she burst into tears, feeling like a drowning person who had caught a life buoy. “Brother.”

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

“What happened? Who bullied you?” Qu Mingcheng had just heard about Yu’s matter and come over from East Mansion. Seeing Qu Qiuyan’s tearful face, he could not help but feel sorry for her. He thought his sister deserved something better. How could she suffer like this?

“Mother… mother scolded me.” Qu Qiuyan cried and complained. Qu Mingcheng seemed to be the only person she could talk to.

“Don’t be angry with mother. She must be very sad now. Let’s say some nice words to her” Qu Mingcheng said softly as he reached out to hold Qu Qiuyan’s hand. “Let’s go in to see mother and cheer her up.”
