Chapter 32
Reborn to Be A Noble Wife
Chapter 32 Who is This Guy?
Yu Qingmeng woke up as she heard a scream. The moment she opened her eyes, she looked right into Xu Lipengâs murderous eyes, which freaked her out. Then she said with a sweet voice, âYoung Master Xu!â
For the moment, she didnât know where she was. She moved her body and tried to stand up, but her hand and feet were trapped by something. Then she pushed the thing beside her subconsciously but failed to move it. As she turned around to have a look, she saw a pair of squinted eyes on a fat face. Then her brain just went blank.
She looked down, finding one of the fat manâs hands on her waist and the other on her chest. The front of her dress was in a mess and even unbuttoned to her chest. Even the underwear on her upper body was exposed.
âAh!â she let out a piercing, terrific scream. Yu Qingmeng slapped the fat manâs face violently and pushed him away with all her strength. Then she rolled on the floor and stopped by Xu Lipengâs feet.
She held Xu Lipengâs legs at once and cried out, âYoung Master, who⦠who is this guy? What⦠what is happening here? What⦠what happenedâ¦?â
Suddenly, something occurred to her blurred mind. A man whoâs fat like that?
Suddenly, two slaps fell on Yu Qingmengâs face. He Dapang sat up from the bed and hit Yu Qingmeng, âBitch, didnât you say you adore me and want to be with me? Why did you just go back on your words?â
âI⦠I didnât. I donât even know youâ¦â Yu Qingmeng cried loudly. The long veil on her head had fallen on her neck long ago. Now she looked very messy.
âYou donât know me? Thatâs not what you said when you threw yourself to me. Now that you saw another man, you change your target right away?â He Dapang said impatiently.
He came here today to discuss things about his cousin, Lord Jing. He knew what his cousin was thinking. Since the Qu Family intended to have a closer relationship with Lord Jing, He Dapang agreed to come. He didnât expect that Qu Mingcheng, who invited him over, had gone to Old Lady Quâs yard and told him to wait. Then he was brought here.
After that, a maid sneaked into the yard and told him that a lady in this family fell for him and asked if he was married.
Nothing like this had ever happened to He Dapang. He always forced girls to be with him and never met a lady who had a crush on him. The news got him very excited. He didnât have anything else to do now, and spending some time with a lady seemed a good choice. So he, being intrigued, said he hadnât got married and asked the lady to come over.
The maid nodded and said that their lady would come in a minute. She also told him that the lady liked to cover her eyes with a long white veil in case he would get the wrong person.
When Qu Moying walked into the yard, he was standing by the window of the pavilion and saw her long veil. At that time, he thought it was a new trick that the ladies came up with recently. With that veil covering her face, he wouldnât know what she looked like. The mysterious aura thrilled him!
However, before the lady came up, he fell asleep for no reason. He remembered a senior housemaid was coming up. But the memory was pretty blurred, so he didnât know if it was real or in his dream!
Anyway, he didnât care about that. Maybe getting him to sleep was also one of the ladyâs tricks! The prostitutes he had met also liked to play some games. It was not like he hadnât experienced this kind of thing before!
Though the ladies from noble families were different from the prostitutes, this one clearly loved to play.
When he woke up and saw the pretty girl in his arms, he then just did what a lecher would do.
Now seeing the long ribbon that fell from Yu Qingmengâs forehead, He Dapang believed firmly that she was the lady in the yard. He completely forgot that the lady he saw and this one didnât wear the same clothes.
No one would care about such details under that circumstance. He even didnât notice who followed the lady.
âYou asked to meet me, and now you regret it? Do you have a thing for Young Master Xu?â He Dapang looked at Xu Lipeng with a faint smile. He had known this well-reputed Young Master since long ago. The two of them never made any contacts before, but they knew each other and found each other quite repulsive.
Xu Lipeng thought He Dapang was a dirty and lecherous man.
He Dapang thought that Xu Lipeng was just a hypocrite who loved to put on airs, which repelled him a lot.
Now He Dapang saw Yu Qingmeng holding Xu Lipengâs legs tightly, and Xu Lipeng looked like he caught his lover cheating. He Dapang realized something and applauded while laughing loudly, âYoung Master Xu, donât tell me this is your fiancée! I heard she is blind and uglyâ¦â
Speaking of that, He Dapang stopped and walked around Yu Qingmeng and Xu Lipeng twice. Then he smacked her lips and said, âThis one is pretty, and her eyes arenât blind. The rumors are false?â
His eyes fell on Yu Qingmengâs chest that was half exposed. Seeing that, Yu Qingmeng tucked her clothes while crying, curling up next to Xu Lipengâs feet.
âYoung Master He, please watch your mouth!â He Dapangâs words enraged Xu Lipeng at once. He had to take a deep breath to calm himself.
âWatch my mouth? I was just telling the truth. Maybe you should watch yours. What if your real fiancée sees you being so close with this girl whoâs not blind? What will she think?â He Dapang, who gained the upper hand, seemed to be enjoying this. He pulled his clothes that were unbuttoned on his chest and asked Xu Lipeng with a grin.
He was not stupid. The rumor said that Xu Lipengâs fiancée was Qu Zhizhenâs fourth daughter, who was blind and ugly. The description clearly didnât suit the girl in front of him. He had also heard from Lord Jing that Xu Lipengâs fiancée did have weak eyes and lived in a village before.
So who was the girl in front of him?
He remembered that Lord Jing said that Xu Lipeng was close to Yuâs niece, Third Lady Quâs cousin. Then he realized that this girl in the room must be the one.
Then everything just made sense to him. He had been invited by Yuâs son today, so this Lady Yu must be one of the few people who knew about his arrival.
Lord Jing was interested in Qu Qiuyan, so he had inquired into some of the affairs of the Qu Family.
âYou must be Lady Yu. They said that you are Young Master Xuâs confidante. I thought it was just a rumor, but it turns out to be true.â He Dapang was valued by Lord Jing because he was pretty clever at times. For the moment, he realized what had happened today could actually bring benefits to him right away. Then with the look on his face turning gentle, he said that, beaming.
Xu Lipengâs face turned even sullener. He kicked Yu Qingmeng away directly and said in a cold voice, âYoung Master He, I donât know what you are talking about. This is the Quâs Mansion. Please mind your words.â
âSo what? Third Lady Qu is about to marry my cousin. We are going to be relatives then. If you want to marry Lady Yu, I can give you a hand,â He Dapang smiled and said.
He Dapang narrowed his eyes, thinking, âMarquis Yongningâs family has always been neutral. If I can get something on Xu Lipeng this time and draw him to my cousinâs side, my cousin will be very pleased.â
âAh, what are youâ¦â A womanâs scream came through from outside. In the next second, Yu rushed in with a group of people. âWhat⦠what are you doing here? This is absurd,â Yu cried out loudly.
After she came in, she stood behind Xu Lipeng and didnât notice the messy girl on the ground was Yu Qingmeng. As she saw the long ribbon on the ground, she turned to Madam Yongning behind her and attempted to push her out anxiously, âMadam, this is a bad time. Letâs have a chat outside.â
Madam Yongning pulled out a long face as she saw the white ribbon on the ground.
âThatâs Fourth Lady?â
âNo, how could it be⦠Madam, letâs leave now. Thatâs just a vulgar maid.â Yu showed a nervous look to make herself more suspicious.
âWhich maid in your mansion dared to do this? Iâd like to see it myself!â Madam Yongning pushed Yu away and took two steps forward. As she saw Yu Qingmeng, who was crouched there, she showed a disdainful look in her eyes. Just now, Old Lady Qu insisted on breaking off the engagement and implied that Xu Lipeng and Yu Qingmeng had an affair with each other. Madam Yongning, who tried to fix things up, even got heartache due to anger upon hearing those words.
After that, Yu came over and took Madam Yongning to tour the place in order to ease the tension.
However, now Madam Yongning believed that she caught Qu Moying cheating, so she planned to take the girl to Old Lady Qu to embarrass her.
As for the engagement, she decided to break it off. In her view, a shameless girl like Qu Moying only deserved to be her sonâs concubine.
âSomeone, grab this bitch,â Madam Yongning said in a cold voice. Then she explained to Yu, who was enjoying herself, âSecond Madam Qu, we have to report this to Old Lady Qu. Since we are going back anyway, letâs bring her with us.â
Yu meant to let Madam Yongning get involved. Though being very glad inwardly, she still said with hesitation on her face, âI donât think thatâs a good idea!â
âWhy isnât it a good idea? Old Lady Qu will know this sooner or later,â Madam Yongning said nonchalantly. What had happened helped Madam Yongning gain the upper hand. She would like to hear what Old Lady Qu was going to say.
âMother, just leave them alone!â Xu Lipeng had to come over and say that.
Standing aside, He Dapang kept silent and watched the scene with his arms crossed in front of his chest. What was happening now and the fact that he fainted for no reason suggested that something was wrong. Now he was not sure about the girlâs identity again. However, either way, he wouldnât lose.
âI already saw this. How can I leave them alone?â Madam Yongning thought that her son pitied Qu Moying. Then she glared at her son and said coldly, âI need someone to take this girl away!â
Two senior housemaids rushed to Yu Qingmeng. The girl buried her head in her knees and kept struggling. However, she was still pulled up and showed herself in her untidy dress. Her underwear was shifted slightly, which made her fair skin exposed.
As Yu Qingmeng lowered her head in panic, her disheveled hair came down and covered half of her face.
âMother!â Xu Lipeng had to stop her mother again. Seeing He Dapang staring at Yu Qingmengâs body, he explained with gritted teeth, âThis is not Fourth Lady Qu. Sheâs Lady Yu!â
The situation now was scandalous. Xu Lipeng already felt that he was betrayed. If Old Lady Qu was informed of this, things would only get more awkward for him. He didnât want everyone to know what had happened between him and Yu Qingmeng. Now that Yu Qingmeng was in a desperate situation, she might just speak out everything.
Thinking of that, Xu Lipeng got a headache. Now, he had no choice but to let his mother know who the girl was.
It would be best if Old Lady Qu knew nothing about this.
âWhat? Qingmeng?â Yu thought that she heard it wrong as her smile froze.
Madam Yongning was also stunnedâ¦
