Reborn to Be A Noble Wife - Chapter 287

Chapter 287 Take a Look Yourself

“I came to explain the misunderstanding to Fourth Lady Qu. After all, she is implicated because of me, and it is unfair to her. But I was driven away!” Yan Yu said with a long face.

“You were driven away?” Yan Yujiao said doubtfully.

“I was indeed driven away. Yujiao, can you go in and tell Fourth Lady Qu that I want to see her?” Yan Yu bowed solemnly towards Yan Yujiao.

“Second Brother… is it really not Fourth Lady Qu?” Yan Yujiao’s previous belief was somewhat shaken.

She looked up at the shop, but she could not see what was on the second floor. She only saw a window on the second floor was open. There should be people inside.

Could it be that she really misunderstood Yan Yu? Wasn’t Fourth Lady Qu the woman he liked?

But who else could match her Second Brother’s description except Fourth Lady Qu? She had asked him before, but he had never said that he had a crush on anyone. Recently, he said he had someone he liked. According to his description, the woman seemed to be Fourth Lady Qu.

“No, of course not. I only met her once before.” Yan Yu said impatiently. He had heard this a lot recently.

“But who else could it be? Second Brother, tell me!” Yan Yujiao pressed.

Seeing Yan Yujiao like this, Yan Yu could not say anything although he had a lot to say. He was annoyed. This matter was indeed caused by him, but everyone in the family believed that the woman he liked was Fourth Lady Qu. Even though he wanted to change his words now, he could not.

“Yujiao, don’t ask anymore. I can tell you that she is not a noble lady.” At this time, Yan Yu had made up his mind to risk everything. No matter how big the trouble was, he could not get Fourth Lady Qu involved. She really had nothing to do with his affairs.

“Then who is it?” Yan Yujiao asked anxiously.

“She is not a noble lady. It meant that she couldn’t marry into our family because of her status.” Yan Yu said. He turned around and saw Aunt Yang coming out of the shop. He walked up to her in a hurry and said, “I want to see Fourth Lady Qu. Could you please tell her? I really want to explain this matter clearly.”

Aunt Yang came downstairs under Qu Moying’s order. Yu Dong saw Yan Yu and Yan Yujiao, and he reported to Qu Moying, so Qu Moying asked Aunt Yang to come down.

Aunt Yang politely bowed to Yan Yu and said, “Young Master, it is really inconvenient for our lady to see you. If there is anything, you should go to Qu Mansion.”

Her words were polite and alienated.

“Our lady said that if you have nothing else to do, please leave. After all, our lady is still here. If you insist on seeing our lady, others might misunderstand you and our lady. It is not good for you, and it is also bad for our lady.”

“But this matter is very important. I only need to say a few words to Fourth Lady Qu. It won’t affect her.” Yan Yu really wanted to explain the cause of the matter.

However, Aunt Yang came downstairs with a clear purpose, which was to reject Second Young Master Yan in front of Miss Yan.

“Young Master, I am really sorry. Our lady said that she is not familiar with you and it’s really inconvenient to see you. Please leave!” Aunt Yang stretched out her hand and pointed outside.

It was a typical gesture of sending out guests.

“I…” The smile on Yan Yu’s face became awkward. Seeing that Aunt Yang was about to leave, he had no choice but to compromise, “Please tell your lady that I don’t mean to get her involved. I’m sorry to her. Please forgive my unintentional mistake.”

Then, he bowed deeply towards Yue’s Clothing Pavilion and turned around to get in Yan Yujiao’s carriage.

Yan Yujiao looked at Yue’s Clothing Pavilion with doubt. Seeing Aunt Yang leave, she frowned. Could it be that it really wasn’t Qu Moying? Or was Second Brother trying to cover up for Qu Moying?

Or was it just Second Brother’s wishful thinking, and Qu Moying knew nothing at all?

Aunt Yang went up to the second floor and reported to Qu Moying, “Miss, they have left.”

Qu Moying said indifferently, “Let them be. In the future, if this young lady comes over, just pay more attention.”

She did not want to waste time on Yan Yu, and she was indeed not familiar with him.

As for marrying Third Young Master He, it was simply impossible.

Everything in the shop was well arranged by Aunt Yang. According to the current situation, this plan and arrangement were very good. After giving a few suggestions, Qu Moying brought Yu Dong back to the mansion.

When the carriage entered Qu Mansion’s parking lot, Qu Moying saw there was another carriage in the parking lot. However, it was not Qu Mansion’s carriage. Although it was not very big, it was quite gorgeous. Obviously, it was not a carriage of an ordinary family. There must be a visitor in the mansion, and the person did not seem to be visiting Old Lady Qu.

Yu Dong was the most observant. Seeing that Qu Moying’s gaze fell on the carriage, he turned to ask an old cleaning maid nearby, “Did someone come to the mansion?”

“Yes. I heard that it is a young master from He Mansion.” The old maid put down the broom and hurriedly bowed to Qu Moying. Now everyone in the mansion knew that Qu Moying was in charge of most of the things.

Qu Moying’s heart skipped a beat, and her eyes turned cold.

Yu Dong also understood, and his face darkened. He felt like they were haunted by He Mansion’s people because they met them everywhere. Was this He Mansion the one that he was thinking of? “Which He Mansion?”

“I don’t know either. Second Master sent a servant to welcome him, and I heard from the servant that it was He Mansion’s third young master. It seemed to be Third Young Master He.” The old maid replied.

Qu Moying sneered in her heart. “My dear father really couldn’t wait to let me get married. I’ve just ended the previous engagement. But now he has begun to meet Third Young Master He. Just how anxious is he?”

And how eager was he to seek connections with those powerful people?

Qu Moying asked, “When did he come?”

The old maid replied, “He has been here for two hours. A young servant of Second Master came over to pick him up. The servant waited here for a long time.”

This meant that Qu Zhizhen had long known that Third Young Master He would come over. Maybe Third Young Master came at his invitation. Others might not do such a thing, but Qu Moying was not sure about her father.

Old Lady Qu said she would have the final say on Qu Moying’s marriage, but Qu Moying felt it was not so simple. If her father had really listened to her grandmother, her mother might not have died so early.

What was happening now seemed to corroborate her thought.

She walked into the mansion and went to Old Lady Qu’s place to tell her that she had returned to the mansion. However, she did not expect that Qu Xuexin was also there. Seeing Qu Moying enter the room, Qu Xuexin greeted her softly, “Younger sister.”

Qu Moying first bowed to Old Lady Qu, and then to Qu Xuexin. She also greeted Qu Xuexin, “Eldest Sister.”

Old Lady Qu knew why Qu Moying went out today, and she asked with concern, “Can the shop reopen now? How is it going?”

“Grandmother, please rest assured. Everything is almost prepared. We can reopen the shop after a short period of reorganization.” Qu Moying replied with a smile. Her eyes fell on Qu Xuexin, who was sitting opposite her. Qu Xuexin was wearing a lotus color dress, which made her look even more charming than before.

Her hair was combed neatly with two pearl hairpins. The pearls fell beside her ears, which made her more beautiful.

Coupled with her gentle demeanor, she was very pleasing to the eyes.

She was more attractive than usual.

“Since everything is fine, that’s good.” Old Lady Qu nodded and said gently, “I heard that the ex-Crown Princess’ shop is next to your shop. Now that something has happened to that shop, don’t get yourself involved in it. You are just a Vice Minister’s daughter. You can’t handle such a thing.”

Old Lady Qu had heard the rumors, but she didn’t know that the cause of this matter was related to Qu Moying. She was afraid that Qu Moying would be involved in such a thing, so she reminded her.

Qu Moying nodded obediently and said, “Don’t worry, Grandmother. I know. I will only care about my shop’s things. The shop next to my shop belongs to my aunt, and now it belongs to Earl Ling’an’s Mansion. It has nothing to do with me.”

Seeing that Qu Moying was so obedient, Old Lady Qu breathed a sigh of relief. Qu Moying was more or less involved in the previous matter, and Old Lady Qu was afraid that she would accidentally get involved again. It was said that even the Crown Prince was criticized because of this scandal. If Qu Moying was involved, she would be in danger. Even if nothing happened, she might be involved in something else. Old Lady Qu was really worried.

“If you need anything, just tell me. These shops are originally yours. Although you are young, you can exercise your ability through this.” Old Lady Qu added.

Qu Moying lowered her eyes and nodded with a smile, “I know, Grandmother.”

“You come back at the right time. Your father said that Third Young Master He has come and asked you to go to see him yourself. You should see if you like him or not. I think it is a good idea to see him first.” Old Lady Qu changed the topic with a smile and pointed at Qu Xuexin. “Just now, I sent someone to ask your Eldest Sister over. I will let her accompany you later.”

Qu Moying looked up and asked in surprise, “Do you ask me to go and take a look at him?”

“Yes, but you don’t have to worry. You can see him, but he can’t see you. I just want you to see how he looked. You are the one to get married. I have promised you that I will let you marry someone you like.” Old Lady Qu smiled. She was very happy that her son could think so much for her granddaughter.

She had planned to let her granddaughter take a look at the other party and make a decision. Since her son suggested such a thing, of course she would let her granddaughter go and take a look.

“Grandmother, I don’t think it’s a good idea.” Qu Moying shook her head and refused. She seemed to be reluctant. She lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand, looking a little shy. Old Lady Qu did not take it seriously because she thought it was normal for young ladies to be shy when talking about their marriage.

Old Lady Qu misunderstood Qu Moying’s expression and said with a smile, “Silly girl, it doesn’t matter. Your Eldest Sister will be accompanying you. Just go and take a look!”
