Chapter 206 – Where Did Qu Caiyue Go?

Chapter 206 Where Did Qu Caiyue Go?

The tea stopped at the corner of Qu Moying’s lips and then was slowly moved away. Qu Moying frowned and put down the teacup.

“It seems to be very hot.” Qu Caiyue looked at the teacup in her hand and nodded. She pushed the teacup slightly to the side and leaned against the stone table in front of her with her elbows. “Moying, did you find that Lord Jing treated Qiuyan differently?”

The corners of Qu Caiyue’s lips looked very pale. She loosened her hand weakly and the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground. However, no one saw it as it happened under the stone table.

“I don’t know.” Qu Moying shook her head as she massaged her head.

“I heard from Father that Second Uncle wants Qiuyan to marry Lord Jing. Now it seems that it is really possible. You see, Lord Jing treats Qiuyan differently.” Qu Caiyue smiled, looking very happy.

“I’m not sure.” Qu Moying shook her head again and massaged her forehead a few times.

Yu Dong, who followed by her side, finally felt that something was wrong. She looked up at Qu Moying and asked with concern, “My lady, do you feel uncomfortable?”

“Maybe I’m tired.” Qu Moying shook her head, and her brows furrowed even more. She seemed to be feeling very uncomfortable.

“Moying, if you are not feeling well, do you want to take a rest there?” Qu Caiyue also noticed that Qu Moying’s expression was not quite right. She stood up, looked around, and pointed at a half-opened door in the corridor.

“No need. This is the palace. It’s not very good to do that.” Qu Moying shook her head and refused.

“It’s fine. I’ll go and take a look first. If there’s nothing wrong, you can come in, okay?” Qu Caiyue said. She turned around and walked to the back of the rockery. After she only took a few steps, her body swayed. The maid, who was following beside her, hurriedly reached out to support her. She saw that her Lady was looking more and more unwell.

It had only been a while, and it had already taken effect.

Seeing Qu Caiyue walk away, Qu Moying had no choice but to stand up with Yu Dong’s help.

The two of them turned around the rockery one after another and came to the door of the half-opened house. Qu Caiyue said to Qu Moying, who was following behind her, “Moying, I will go in now.”

After saying that, she staggered in. The maid originally wanted to help her but was pushed away fiercely. She could only stay outside the door and lower her head.

Qu Caiyue’s vision was already a little blurry. The medicine was indeed powerful. In just a short while, she was already unable to withstand it and almost fainted. As expected, there was a wide folding screen in front of her. Holding onto the folding screen, she turned inside. On the wide bed lay Lord Wei Pei Qingmin.

His face was pale, and he looked like he was resting. He did not look to be in a very good state. His eyes were tightly closed. When he heard movements, he subconsciously opened his eyes. He was stunned to see Qu Caiyue staggering in. Then, she staggered over and pressed on him.

Pei Qingmin was shocked and subconsciously wanted to get up. Unfortunately, his entire body was held down by Qu Caiyue. He was so weak that he couldn’t get up. He wanted to push Qu Caiyue away forcefully, but his hand was hooked to something. With a tug, Qu Caiyue’s clothes were pulled open, and the red undergarment inside could be seen.

Pei Qingmin was so anxious that his face turned red, but his hands and feet were powerless. When a faint fragrance came from Qu Caiyue’s body, it made Pei Qingmin feel even more powerless. He thought of pushing Qu Caiyue away with his hands, but his hands were on her belt. It looked more like he was pulling open her belt.

If this was seen by someone with ill intentions, it would definitely make them think that he was molesting Qu Caiyue.

Pei Qingmin was just resting here. They had already invited the Imperial Doctor over, who would be here soon. If the Imperial Doctor and Dowager Consort Qu’s servants saw such a scene, then Third Lady Qu would be related to him from now on.

Pei Qingmin’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger. He forcefully pushed Qu Caiyue away, exhaled, and coldly said, “Someone, come!”

A secret guard silently descended from the roof.

“Pull her away for me.” Pei Qingmin gasped for breath, his face flushed red.

The secret guard came over and pulled away the half-unconscious Qu Caiyue. She was smashed into the side of the folding screen without any mercy, causing a “bam” sound. It could be seen that the force used was not small.

“My lord…” The secret guard came over and helped up the heavily panting Pei Qingmin.

“Open the window… for fresh air.” Pei Qingmin gritted his teeth. If not for Qu Moying’s words from before, he would have really fallen into the trap of his good Second Brother this time.

This was a trap aiming at the fact that his body was weak and could not push this woman away!

The secret guard complied and opened the window, diluting the fragrance on Qu Caiyue’s body.

“Who else is outside?” Pei Qingmin gritted his teeth and asked.

“Fourth Lady Qu.” The secret guard had heard it clearly just now. He knew that there was not only Qu Mansion’s Second Lady, but also the Fourth Lady.

He didn’t dare to stop them without his Lord’s command just now.

“Go and invite her in.” Pei Qingmin sneered. Qu Moying saw that he had fallen into a trap, but she didn’t stop it from happening. He didn’t believe that Qu Moying didn’t know anything.

The secret guard was about to leave when Pei Qingmin suddenly called out, “Where did Second Brother go?”

“He’s already back. He’s resting over there,” the secret guard reported.

Lord Jing’s goal seemed very clear. He was here to have a date with Third Lady Qu. Needless to say, he must have found a place to talk with her at this time.

Pei Qingmin was sick in the body, not in the brain. After thinking for a while, he understood the cause and effect of the matter. He sneered and said, “Take this woman away and bring her to Second Brother…” No wonder Second Brother had been very good to him these days. He even took him to Qu Mansion just to meet his beloved woman. It turned out that Second Brother was waiting for him to fall into the trap here.

When he came over just now, Pei Yusheng had asked someone to pass a message to him, saying that he was resting in the room down on the right and asking him to send someone to find him after the Imperial Doctor arrived.

Pei Qingmin instructed the secret guard in a low voice. The secret guard accepted the order, picked up Qu Caiyue, and left through the back window.

The few people waiting outside had been waiting for a long time, and they did not see Qu Caiyue come out, so Yu Dong suggested, “Why hasn’t Second Lady come out yet? Should I go in to take a look?”

Qu Moying reached out and shook her hand to stop him. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw someone coming from not far away. So she took Yu Dong and Qu Caiyue’s maid to retreat to the side.

It was the Imperial Doctor from the palace. He followed behind a young eunuch, and there were two palace maids from Dowager Consort Qu’s palace. Seeing Qu Moying standing there, Pei Qingmin’s young eunuch panicked first. He took a few steps forward and looked at Qu Moying warily. Just now, he had seen Qu Moying in Dowager Consort Qu’s palace.

“Fourth Lady Qu, what are you doing in my Lord’s resting place?”

“This… is where Lord Wei is resting?” Qu Moying asked in surprise.

“It is. What’s the matter, Fourth Lady Qu?” The young eunuch became more and more alert. There had been many women who threw themselves at his Lord in the past.

“My Second Sister…” Qu Moying pointed inside.

“It’s the Second Lady. The Second Lady is inside. Fourth Lady, you were the one who asked the Second Lady to go in just now.” Qu Caiyue’s maid suddenly cried out in alarm. She reached out to push open the half-closed door and rushed in.

Lord Wei’s personal eunuch was frightened and he hurriedly followed in. The Imperial Doctor and the two palace maids from Dowager Consort Qu’s palace also followed in for fear that something would happen.

Qu Moying hesitated for a moment and also brought Yu Dong in.

They entered the room, turned around the folding screen, and saw Pei Qingmin lying on the bed. Everyone was stunned. The inner room was not big. With just a glance, it could be seen that there was no one else but only Lord Wei.

Hearing the voice, Pei Qingmin opened his eyes. His pale face revealed an angry expression. He sat up with his hand propped up. “What is it?”

“My Lord, I thought someone had broken in.” The young eunuch was shocked and said hurriedly.

“Who broke in?” Pei Qingmin asked coldly.

“I… I heard that it’s Qu Mansion’s Second Lady.” The young eunuch pointed at the group of people from Qu Mansion.

“Fourth Lady Qu?” Pei Qingmin looked at Qu Moying, Qu Mansion’s only master at the scene.

“Greetings, Lord Wei!” Qu Moying turned around from behind Yu Dong and said gracefully, “Just now, I seemed to see Second Sister coming here. I thought that she accidentally barged in and that something happened.”

“You seemed to see?” Pei Qingmin said coldly.

“I didn’t see clearly. I was a little far away. I was resting in front and wasn’t feeling well. So Second Sister said that she would come over to see if there was a place for resting. It seemed that Second Sister didn’t come back after she got here, so I brought people over,” Qu Moying said with a calm expression.

Qu Caiyue’s maid opened her mouth and wanted to refute Qu Moying’s words. However, after seeing Yu Dong’s cold gaze, she shivered and lowered her head, not daring to say another word.

If she saw Second Lady here now, she would definitely follow and say what she was told previously. However, now that Second Lady was not here, if she insisted that Second Lady entered this room, it would be difficult to justify her words. It might even cause people to suspect that she lied. She was a small maid and could not afford to offend others.

After thinking about it, Qu Caiyue’s maid chose to remain silent.

“Maybe she went to Second Brother? If Second Brother’s rest was disturbed, you’ll be responsible for it.” Pei Qingmin stood up with the help of the young eunuch as he said coldly.

Qu Moying retreated to the side.

Pei Qingmin walked past her and headed outside, and everyone followed behind him.

Pei Yusheng had reserved a place to rest. He originally was going to take Qu Qiuyan and Qu Xuexin there with him. However, after walking halfway, he said that he wanted to visit Pei Qingmin, leaving Qu Qiuyan and Qu Xuexin behind. Then, he went to the resting room that he had reserved, quietly waiting for something to happen to Pei Qingmin.

After entering the room, he got bored. After sending the people around him out, he closed his eyes to rest in the room. Just as he was in a daze, a soft and delicate body suddenly fell on his body. He subconsciously sensed that it was a woman, so he did not care and held her in his arms. His nose was full of fragrance, hot and dry, making him feel powerless.

There was some tugging, and he continued to sleep in a daze.

It seemed that someone was saying something. He didn’t care. He only felt a little more sleepy than usual. It was now almost summer, and he felt very weak.

“Ah!” A sharp voice pierced through Pei Yusheng’s eardrums. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the person in his arms was pushed away. A woman’s cry of pain was heard. Then, he opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a pale face with a sickly look. He blinked and looked at Pei Qingmin in confusion…
