Chapter 319 – Who Was The Guilty One?
Chapter 319 Who Was the Guilty One?
There were two maids in the carriage, and they helped a young lady out together. Qu Moying looked over at the young lady and found that she knew her. It was Yan Yujiao from Earl Fengyang’s Mansion.
Yan Yujiao was injured more seriously than Qu Moying. Blood flowed out of her forehead. One maid reached out to cover her forehead, and the other maid asked anxiously, “Where is the clinic?”
The lad servant said, “Come with me.”
They hurriedly followed the lad servant and did not even bother to look at Qu Moying.
The handsome young master stepped forward, bowed to Qu Moying, and said softly, “Lady, you should also go to the clinic to have a check!”
At this point, Qu Moying should indeed go. It was not a bad idea to go to the clinic for a check. After all, before this matter was properly handled, she could not leave.
She nodded and walked forward with the support of Yu Dong.
She looked quite weak as she wore a long eye veil. After such an accident, she looked even more vulnerable. The onlookers said that she was quite lucky because she didn’t lose her life. After all, the young lady who was injured looked much stronger than her.
If Yan Yujiao heard what these people said, she would probably be pissed off. In fact, she was also thin, but compared with Qu Moying, she was much stronger.
When they arrived at the clinic, someone was bandaging Yan Yujiao’s wound. There did not seem to be much of a problem.
Hearing the noise at the door, she looked over and saw Qu Moying. She was furious and wanted to sit up. The maids on both sides hurriedly reach out to hold her down.
“Lady, the nursemaid is bandaging your wound. Please don’t move. Otherwise, you might be disfigured.”
“Lady, let’s deal with her after your wound is bandaged. She won’t be able to get away with it.” The two maids looked at Qu Moying angrily while comforting Yan Yujiao.
Qu Moying quietly sat down on a chair, waiting for the nursemaid to finish bandaging the wound for Yan Yujiao.
“What a small world! I actually ran into the Yan Family’s people. I have yet to get even with Madam Li about the matter of her trying to set me up with He Dayu. But I ran into her family now.”
She was fated to deal with Marquis Fengyang’s Mansion’s people again and again!
Of course, there weren’t many people who knew about it. It was impossible for Yan Yujiao to bump into her on purpose. After all, judging from her appearance, she was also seriously hit, and her forehead was grazed. A noble lady like her cared most about her face. She would not deliberately bump into her like this because she might be disfigured herself.
Was it really an accident? What if it was not?
Meanwhile, Yan Yujiao had a train of thought. “What a heroic and warm-hearted young master! He sort of saved my life just now. It seems that I have to repay his kindness! He is helping around, and he is quite polite to me. But he glances at me from time to time. It seems that he is interested in me.”
Qu Moying was so angry that she almost laughed. What was going on?
She raised her watery eyes, glanced at the young man who “saved” her, and then gave Yu Dong a hinted look.
Yu Dong understood what she meant and went forward to bow to the young master. “Young Master, may I have your name? Where do you live? When we return to our mansion, we will definitely ask our master to thank you.”
“It’s okay! There’s no need to bother!” The young master was very polite. He looked at Qu Moying with a smile. He had already sheathed his sword. Now he took the handkerchief from a lad servant’s hand and carefully wiped his hands.
“Our Young Master is…” One of the lad servants wanted to say something, his face full of pride.
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.” The young man interrupted the lad servant and bowed to Qu Moying with a gentle and composed expression. Then, he bowed to Yan Yujiao, who had just been bandaged.
His behaviors were all pleasing! He was a well-mannered young master of a noble family.
Yan Yujiao glared hatefully at Qu Moying. However, when she looked at the young master, her face showed a trace of shyness. She blushed slightly, held the maid’s hand, and stood up. She also bowed deeply to the young master and said, “Please tell me your name. I’m from Marquis Fengyang’s Mansion. My father will definitely go and thank you with a grand reward!”
“There’s no need for that. Since I saw such a thing happening, it was natural for me to help. But I’m really sorry for breaking this young lady’s carriage.” The young master smiled and looked at Qu Moying with tenderness and pity in his eyes from time to time.
Qu Moying narrowed her eyes and looked at him through the eye veil. She didn’t know him!
Where did he come from? He looked like a noble young master from an aristocratic family. He had quite many lad servants with him. Moreover, his clothes were simple yet gorgeous, which were not the clothes an ordinary family could afford.
Just now, the lad servant looked proud when he was about to say this young master’s name. It seemed that this young master was from a noble family.
It was just that his action was a bit too anxious!
Even if a noble young master had a crush on other women, he would not act so eagerly like him. Moreover, Qu Moying’s face could not be seen because it was covered with an eye veil. If this young master wanted to show his kindness, he should care about the injured and good-looking Yan Yujiao!
“How interesting! Is he trying to act like a hero? But it seems that the one who should be grateful to him is not me, but Yan Yujiao! It is not easy for him to get Yan Yujiao and me together!”
Qu Moying stood quietly at the side and observed the scene in front of her carefully.
“How can you say that? If not for your help, I would probably have died today. Thank you!” Yan Yujiao said in a soft and touching voice and bowed again.
“It really is nothing!” The young master seemed to be embarrassed by her words. He waved his hand and cupped his hands towards Qu Moying. Then, he turned around and left.
Yan Yujiao wanted to chase after him, but she was too embarrassed to do so. She could only helplessly watch him leave with an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Seeing that he had gone far away, she turned to look at Qu Moying with a cold face. Her gentleness and decency disappeared right away. “Fourth Lady Qu, what are you up to? Why did you let your horse run casually on the streets? Did you intentionally bump into me?”
Qu Moying was so angry that she almost laughed. Yan Yujiao still had the nerve to say such things to her. At that time, it was clearly that Yan Yujiao’s carriage drove too fast and bumped into her carriage. How dared she complain first?
Qu Moying’s horse had one of its legs cut off, and she was the one who almost died.
Before today’s incident, her impression of Yan Yujiao was neither good nor bad. But now, she no longer had a good impression of her at all. Earlier, Madam Li deliberately made a match between her and He Dayu just to push her into the firepit. Otherwise, Madam Li would not think of her.
Madam Li didn’t have any interaction with Qu Mansion before, but she went to Qu Mansion and enthusiastically set Qu Moying and He Dayu up.
Qu Moying was never a doormat. Since Earl Fengyang’s Mansion had plotted against her again and again, she would not hesitate to fight back. Moreover, she was in the biggest danger in today’s accident. Yan Yujiao’s carriage rushed over, and all the onlookers said that Yan Yujiao’s carriage suddenly bumped into her carriage.
“Miss Yan, don’t you think it’s strange that the two of us bumped into each other? Miss Yan, may I know where you were going just now? Were you delayed by something for a while somewhere? Were you with someone just now? That person left at the right time, which was why everything happened later.”
Qu Moying didn’t give in but said indifferently, enlightening Yan Yujiao in just a few words.
She believed that there was someone behind this accident.
However, it should not be Yan Yujiao. She would never put herself in danger in order to deal with Qu Moying.
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Yan Yujiao blushed, ashamed and annoyed.
“You know I’m not speaking nonsense. What’s wrong with you? You try to cover up for the person even at the risk of your life. Is this person so nice to you?”
Qu Moying sneered and then turned around to leave. “If you need compensation, you can come to my mansion. But please tell me who delayed your time and made you and I bump into each other. I came out from Earl Ling’an’s Mansion and was going to meet my Eldest Sister. This was the street I had to pass. If someone wanted to do something, she could guess when I would be here.”
Qu Moying was almost certain that Liu Jingyu was behind this matter, and she was also sure that Yan Yujiao would not give Liu Jingyu away at this time.
But that was enough. She had already planted the seeds of doubt in Yan Yujiao’s heart.
As long as Yan Yujiao felt suspicious, something would happen later. She was not a fool. It was just that no one had made it clear to her before.
If someone had torn the mask off Ji Youran, Qu Moying believed that she would not have been fooled in her previous life. Unfortunately, the people around her, including Old Lady Ji, repeatedly praised Ji Youran in front of her. Old Lady Ji had said these words to her, “Hanyue, Youran is a good girl. She treated you well with her heart and soul. You fell once when you were little, and she rushed forward to protect you. Her legs were injured as a result, and it took her half a year to recover.”
At that time, Xiao said with a gentle and caring smile, “The Crown Prince is deeply in love with Hanyue. After Hanyue marries the Crown Prince, her days will be very good. All the young ladies of the capital are envious of Hanyue!”
After saying that, she sighed, “But Youran is a silly girl. She doesn’t want to get married. She said that she won’t get married before Hanyue gets married. How stubborn she is!”
……
They said all those nice words to fake a peaceful and harmonious family. They must have said the same words to her father!
But what happened in the end? The bloody facts exposed the so-called kinship. Qu Moying bit her lips hard and suppressed the hatred in her heart. The more pain she had suffered, the more resentful she now was.
Seeing Qu Moying turn around and leave, Yan Yujiao trembled, and her face turned purple with anger. She was not only ignored by Qu Moying, but also suppressed by her in terms of aura.
“Qu Moying, you…”
Qu Moying suddenly turned her head. Her face was cold, and she pursed her colorless lips. She said with a hint of hostility, “Miss Yan, I don’t want to argue with you. I know what your mother has done to our mansion, but I don’t understand why you keep provoking me. Do you really think that our Qu Mansion is easy to bully?”
“I…” Yan Yujiao was shocked by Qu Moying and could not help but take two steps back. She never thought that the seemingly weak Qu Moying would have such a fierce side.
The eyes of the onlookers at the entrance of the clinic lit up. Was there something that went on behind the scenes?
Originally, they thought it was an accident. But now it seemed that it wasn’t the case. Was it a man-made accident? They all witnessed what had happened just now. Although Yan Yujiao was seriously injured, Qu Moying was the one in greater danger at that time. If not for that young master, Qu Moying might have died.
Everyone turned to look at Yan Yujiao. Compared with Qu Moying, Yan Yujiao was more suspicious!
Was it really a man-made accident?
