The carriage suddenly stopped and the people inside lost their balance and rolled out.Qu Moying reacted quickly. She wrapped one of her wrists with the curtain and held Yu Chun with another hand.Then they both rolled out of the carriage. The curtain helped them slow down a bit as it dropped and unwrapped itself. At last, the curtain couldn’t bear their weight and ripped off.The moment Qu Moying let go of her hand, Yu Chun fell on the ground first. Then Qu Moying who had withstood the greatest weight, drawing long curtain, was flung off at once.She seemed to see a figure standing in front of her. Then she closed her eyes subconsciously. The curtain in her hand was useless now, so she tried to throw it away to get counterforce.Actually, all happened very fast, so it was impossible for anyone to catch her. Luckily, the curtain had borne some weight, thus with the counterforce, she could at least survive but wo

“My lady, are you looking for a famous painting?” The owner of the bookstore saw a lady standing in front of a painting for so long, so he finally couldn’t help but ask.That painting had been there in the very corner of the store and was covered with dust.On the one hand, it wasn’t from a famous painter, and the name on the seal was not familiar to people. On the other hand, the painter didn’t draw the scholars’ favorite flowers or landscapes, which could show his artistic perception. Instead, this painting was actually rather terrifying.Under the crimson red and gloomy background, a man was walking above the sea of blood, leaving footprints behind him. His most distant footprints were slowly turning into blooming irises which were also red. The flowers made the red sea look more gruesome, as if it was the Sura Sea in the legend.It was hard to see that man’s face, but the look on his face seemed very breezy, as if he did

Pei Yuanjun looked back on his desk and rubbed his forehead. After that, he picked up a file on the desk to read. If Qu Moying were there, she would find that the file was about her.It was the information about her since she was born, even including the few times when Yu sent someone to frame her.“A gloomy, silent, and ugly girl who was sent to the countryside and ignored by her families,” Pei Yuanjun rubbed his forehead and suddenly said.“Yes, my lord, that’s what’s said in the file,” someone answered, but no one could see where he was.“Don’t you think she’s not the same person described in the file?” Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrow with a breezy look in his eyes.“My lord, but it truly is her information,” the hidden guard said firmly.No doubt it was the same person. The hidden guard was also surprised why the information seemed so unreal.If he hadn’t sent someone to investigate

“Sick?” Old Lady Qu, with a cold look, glanced at Yu, who came early to make obeisance to her.Yesterday, the senior housemaid whom Yu had sent here had made a great disturbance, so Old Lady Qu had already known about everything. As she looked at Qu Moying, who was sitting there quietly and then at Yu, who was wiping her swollen eyes, she just couldn’t help getting angry.Old Lady Qu didn’t believe there would be such a coincidence!“I heard that Qingmeng had run into an accident on the busy street yesterday. If it were not for Young Master Xu... She might... She might not be able to come back. She’s a vulnerable girl. After she was frightened, she kept having nightmares last night. That’s why she’s sick.” Yu wiped her eyes again.“Ying was also frightened, but she was fine last night. Today she even came here to visit me early in the morning. Originally I worried about Ying the most because her body is the weakest.”

Xu Lipeng was standing by the door with his handsome face turning red with anger while glaring at Yu Qingmeng furiously.Seeing the two women both looking at him, Xu Lipeng calmed himself and walked in slowly. Standing beside Qu Moying, he talked to Yu Qingmeng harshly, “Lady Yu, I don’t know what you are talking about. At that time, the former Second Madam betrothed Fourth Lady to me. The two families have had a great relationship with each other for a long time. I’m very satisfied with my fiancée, and I won’t break the engagement off.”“As for what has happened yesterday, I already explained. I didn’t mean to make it misleading. If I knew you had this kind of thought about me, I would never do that. I should just let it happen to you, which would be better than being slandered by you right now.”Xu Lipeng said bluntly with coldness and anger in his eyes.Yu Qingmeng took a few steps back. With her legs getting weak, she al
