Chapter 340 – The Mansion Was In A Chaos

Chapter 340 The Mansion Was in a Chaos

“If I hadn’t returned, would you have fainted in front of Lord Wei? Well, I wonder if that sickly Lord Wei would have fainted along with you.”

Pei Yuanjun said coldly, with his cold gaze landing on Qu Moying’s face. He gave off a suffocating feeling as if he was from hell.

“What does this have to do with Lord Wei? It seems that I haven’t recovered from the collision yet. I thought I had recovered.” Qu Moying swallowed and felt a little nauseous. She subconsciously reached out to cover her chest.

She could sense that Pei Yuanjun was angry, but she was not in the mood to say anything else. She only felt more uncomfortable. She felt uncomfortable in not only her chest but also her wrist. She shook the hand that was held by him trying to break free but to no avail.

“Stay in your mansion for the next few days. If you have anything to do, get someone to do it. There are some after-effects.” Pei Yuanjun’s expression eased a little as he saw how uncomfortable she was. His gloominess slowly faded. He loosened his grip on her. He recalled how she had calmly walked away from Pei Qingmin just now.

“She shouldn’t be on purpose. But what did Pei Qingmin want to do? He used to be peaceful!” historical

Qu Moying closed her eyes and wanted to nod, but she still felt a little dizzy. She said, “OK, I thought it was nothing.”

She didn’t understand what the look on Pei Yuanjun’s face meant just now, but he sounded to be angry.

Pei Yuanjun’s eyes fell on Qu Moying’s face. Looking at her pale face, he could tell that she was enduring discomfort. Under her long eyelashes, her eyes seemed a little misty, and she looked even more delicate.

“You could go back!” Pei Yuanjun waved his hand and did not ask anything else. He simply let Qu Moying go.

Yu Dong hurried forward to hold Qu Moying’s hand and was about to leave with her.

“Your Highness, do you want to say anything?” Qu Moying did not leave immediately. She thought Pei Yuanjun must have something to do since he suddenly returned.

Pei Yuanjun said impatiently, “It’s nothing serious. Go back first. We can talk about it later.”

Seeing that his handsome face was filled with anger and impatience, Qu Moying did not say anything else. She was really uncomfortable and did not have the mood to figure out what he was thinking.

Since it was not an important task for her, it might not be important.

It was really late. If she didn’t go back now, the Old Lady would be worried.

Pei Yuanjun had his hands behind his back as he watched Qu Moying leave. His eyes were dark and ambiguous, and there was a cold aura around his body, which made Ji Hai involuntarily step back. Pei Yuanjun was apparently angry, and whoever offended him now would suffer.

Just now, Ji Hai was worried about Qu Moying, but now it seemed that he was worrying too much. Even if Pei Yuanjun was angry, he would not be angry with her.

Ji Hai felt great pressure standing next to the enraged Pei Yuanjun. He carried a bloody and baleful aura that condensed from battles, and it could suppress people to the point that they couldn’t raise their heads. Even though Ji Hai had the experience of crawling over piles of corpses on the battlefield, he couldn’t help but retreat at this moment.

Only Qu Moying dared to face Pei Yuanjun like that just now. No other women would dare to raise their heads in front of him. Thinking of this, Ji Hai couldn’t help but admire and praise Qu Moying in his heart. He thought only Qu Moying could be the companion of a deadly threatening person like Pei Yuanjun.

Pei Yuanjun said after a long while, “Find out about Lord Wei!”

“We have investigated him before..” Ji Hai said cautiously. They were not completely ignorant of Lord Wei. Although Pei Yuanjun was not in the capital all the time, he still knew a lot about things in the capital.

Pei Yuanjun said coldly, “Leave those for now and check him out again. Is everything ready?”

Ji Hai understood and quickly answered, “Yes, Your Highness. Everything is ready.”

“Then let’s go!” Pei Yuanjun said and strode out.

Ji Hai trotted up. Pei Yuanjun was supposed to leave tomorrow, but he unexpectedly received a piece of news, which was why he suddenly returned. He wanted to tell Qu Moying, but he didn’t expect to see Lord Wei and Qu Moying together, and he was furious..

A carriage was already waiting outside Lord Yun’s Mansion. It was not the carriage Qu Moying took before. She got on the carriage by holding Yu Dong’s hand. The cushions inside were thick and soft.

Qu Moying leaned against the innermost part of the carriage with a blanket under her. She didn’t even feel the vibration of the carriage. The carriage went all the way to Qu Mansion.

When they arrived at Qu Mansion, Yu Dong helped Qu Moying down from the carriage and walked towards the gate. When they reached the door, they saw Granny Wu walking out from inside. Granny Wu’s face changed drastically as she saw Yu Dong holding Qu Moying, “Fourth Lady, what happened?”

Granny Wu was really flustered. The people who went out today had caused a lot of trouble. The Old Lady had not slept yet, and she asked Granny Wu to wait here, afraid that there were some other bad things.

“I’m fine, just a little dizzy. Did something happen in the mansion?” Qu Moying asked softly. She could tell from Granny Wu’s face that something had happened.

“Fourth Lady, please go in first. They are all at the Old Lady’s place. Please follow me!” Granny Wu said. She looked at the carriage that was driving away. Lord Yun Mansion’s logo was very obvious on the carriage, making her realize that Qu Moying was sent back by Lord Yun. It seemed that Lord Yun was not ignoring Qu Moying.

Qu Moying nodded and followed Granny Wu inside while asking, “Is everyone back?”

Granny Wu looked around and whispered, “Third Lady hasn’t come back yet.”

“It is quite late, isn’t it?” Qu Moying was stunned for a moment. She thought that she was the last to come back. After all, she had been to Lord Yun Mansion, which took a lot of time.

“Yes, the Old Lady has already sent people to find her, but..” Granny Wu did not continue. She shook her head with a serious expression.

Qu Moying knew that there was something going on. She didn’t ask any more questions and followed Granny Wu towards the Old Lady’s yard.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the yard, Qu Moying saw lights from the main room. Usually, the Old Lady had already fallen asleep at this time. There were sounds of berating coming out from time to time. It was not the Old Lady’s voice but Qu Zhizhen’s.

Thinking of what Granny Wu said before, she guessed that Qu Zhizhen should be here. She did not know who Qu Zhizhen was scolding and why he came to the Old Lady’s place.

Granny Wu reported at the door. The room soon quieted down. Qu Moying followed Granny Wu in and found that there were really many people in the room.

But unexpectedly, Qu Zhizhen wasn’t inside. It was the first branch’s Qu Zhilin and Luo, as well as Qu Minghui, who was kneeling on the ground. Not long after they went out, Qu Minghui disappeared. It was said that he was squeezed out by the crowd. However, the ladies were not squeezed out. How could he be squeezed away? Qu Moying wouldn’t buy it.

She was almost certain that Qu Minghui had left for something, but she didn’t know what trouble he had caused, and the first branch even made a scene in front of the Old Lady.

The noise just now should be Qu Zhilin scolding his son.

Qu Moying went forward and bowed to the Old Lady. Then, she greeted Qu Zhilin and Luo.

Qu Zhilin’s expression was terrible. Luo forced a smile to reply to Qu Moying’s greetings.

At this time, the Old Lady had already heard from Granny Wu that Qu Moying was sent back by Lord Yun Mansion’s carriage. She asked gently, “Moying, are you feeling unwell?”

Qu Moying nodded and said calmly, “I almost fainted on the road just now. Fortunately, I met Lord Yun. He asked someone to send me back.”

Hearing her words, Qu Zhilin looked at Qu Moying in surprise. He was surprised because the matter between Qu Moying and Pei Yuanjun had not been announced yet, and the Old Lady and Qu Zhizhen did not mention it to the first branch.

He couldn’t help but be surprised when he heard that Qu Moying came back in Lord Yun’s Mansion’s carriage. It was hard for him to imagine that the evil and sinister Lord Yun would help others.

But then he thought of Lord Jing. He thought that it might be because of Lord Jing that Lord Yun helped. After all, Qu Qiuyan would enter Lord Jing Mansion, and Qu Mansion was somehow related to Lord Jing now.

Luo did not notice what Qu Moying said. Her attention was on Qu Minghui. When she saw the big palm print on her son’s face, she suddenly felt sad. She took a handkerchief and sobbed.

Qu Zhilin’s face immediately darkened as soon as he saw Luo crying again.

The Old Lady knew that it was not suitable for Qu Moying to stay, so she waved her hand and said, “Moying, since you are fine, go back and rest early. I’ll ask a doctor to check on you tomorrow to see if there is anything wrong with you.”

“Yes!” Qu Moying replied softly. Then, she bowed to the Old Lady, Qu Zhilin, and Luo. After that, she held Yu Dong’s hand and left. She was indeed very uncomfortable. She should go back and rest first. But it seemed that something did happen to the mansion.

However, she didn’t know what had happened.

Servants of the mansion would find the carriage she parked outside and drove it back.

After returning to Qianyue House, Qu Moying did not have the energy to say anything. She simply washed up and went to bed early.

After Yu Chun helped her make bed and sleep, she saw her frown and knew that she was very uncomfortable. She carefully extinguished the last lamp and retreated outside.

Yu Dong was waiting outside. Seeing her come out, he asked with concern, “How is the lady?”

“Not good!” Yu Chun shook her head.

Yu Dong said, “Maybe she will be fine after a rest. The Imperial Doctor said that it was not a big deal.”

Yu Chun could only nod. Since the Imperial Doctor said so, Qu Moying should be alright. She felt a bit relieved.

“Is First Lady back?” Yu Dong asked again. When he entered the mansion just now, he only heard about Qu Qiuyan but not Qu Xuexin.

“Yes, but..” Yu Chun hesitated.

Yu Dong asked in a low voice, “What? Did something happen?”

Yu Chun looked at the inner room that was closed and pointed outside. Yu Dong understood and the two of them sneaked out. When they walked outside, Yu Chun looked behind her. Hearing that there was no sound from inside. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Something happened to First Lady!”
