Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 290
"What happened just now?" Qiu Mingyue looked at her in confusion, her eyes gradually becoming focused.

"I was taking a shower just now, and then I fell asleep. Later, I seemed... heard crying outside..." She said here, her eyes widened, her hands subconsciously covered her neck, and her face was panicked and scared.

"Don't, don't kill me, don't..." I shrank myself into the inner side of the bed in fear, my eyes were frightened and flustered, and when my eyelashes blinked, there was water coming out.

"Miss..." Lu Yuan and Hong E covered their lips and turned their faces away.I can't bear to see her in such a distraught state at the moment.

The old lady sighed, her eyes turned red, and she patted Qiu Mingyue's head pityingly.

"Mingyue, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay." She took Qiu Mingyue's head, held her in her arms, and comforted her softly.

Qiu Mingyu watched from the side, her eyes turned red with jealousy.The old lady had never been so intimate with her before.

The eldest lady hated it even more, especially when she saw Qiu Mingyue pretending to be pitiful, she thought of Mrs. Shen.It's that vixen who is used to pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic in front of the master.Now her daughter is doing the same.Like a mother, like a daughter.

Qiu Mingyue seemed to have been greatly frightened, her shoulders trembled and she snuggled into the old lady's arms, trying her best not to cry out.

"grandmother……"

The choked call, soft and frightening, softened the heart.

The beauty was in tears, very pitiful.It's not just men who feel pity and distress.Some women have such a magical power that people can't bear to see her cry.

The old lady patted her on the back and asked, "Mingyue, what happened to your hand?"

Qiu Mingyue's shoulders trembled, and she nestled in the old lady's arms without speaking, as if she had something hard to say.

The old matriarch only thought that she had been wronged, and dared not speak up in front of the eldest lady, so she said again: "Don't be afraid, with grandma here, no one dares to bully you, just say it out, grandma will decide for you."

When Da Furen heard this, she was even more furious.

Qiu Mingyue sobbed and shook her head, her voice tinged with tears.

"It's okay, thank you grandma for your concern. It was Mingyue who accidentally fell down."

The old lady frowned, and Lu Yuan couldn't help but speak.

"Miss, it's already this time, why don't you say anything? You—"

"Lvyuan, shut up." Qiu Mingyue raised her head and glared at her, and then reprimanded her in a low voice.

Lu Yuan's eyes were red immediately, and she turned around, obviously aggrieved.

The old matriarch sensed something was wrong, and looked at the eldest lady with cold eyes, naturally thinking that the injury on Qiu Mingyue's hand was the eldest lady's masterpiece.The eldest lady was so angry and angry at the old matriarch's eyes, she couldn't help but said loudly: "Mother, I have never abused her. I have been here in Xueyue Pavilion for almost half an hour, and she has been Nowhere to be seen. Who knows where she's gone—"

"Shut up." The old lady couldn't remember how many times she lost her temper today. She looked at the eldest lady coldly, her eyes full of disappointment.

"Look at you now, how can you look like a good wife and mother? It's worse than a street shrew. You—"

"Grandmother." Qiu Mingyue suddenly raised her head, stretched out her hand, which was bandaged like a rice dumpling, and pulled the old lady's sleeve, looking at her pitifully.

"The injury on my hand has nothing to do with my mother, you are wrong to blame her." She tried to pull out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Mother... has always been very good to me. Really." The latter sentence clearly lacks confidence.

The old lady sighed and patted her head.

"My child, grandma knows that you are filial. You don't need to hide it for this wicked woman. If it weren't for today, I don't know that she would abuse you so much. I am here today, so you don't have to be afraid of her. She has done it to you What, just say it. Today, grandma will decide for you."

Qiu lowered his eyes, bit his lips tightly with his white teeth, and shook his head in a low voice.

"No, mother... is very kind to Mingyue."

"Miss." Hong'e and Dongxue couldn't help but speak this time, obviously disapproving of her forbearance.

The eldest lady disdained Qiu Mingyue's protection, and said coldly: "Stop acting. Mother, you must not be deceived by her. I have never abused her. If you don't believe me, ask all the maids in the room, She went out for half a day today, but she didn't bring anyone with her. I've been here for so long, and all the maids didn't know where she was going. Then she came out out of nowhere, and before I asked any questions, she actually slapped Mingyu. As she spoke, she pulled Qiu Mingyu closer, pointed at Qiu Mingyu's face and said, "Mother, if you don't believe me, see for yourself. This is what she just hit."

Qiu Mingyue couldn't bear it anymore, sobbing.She raised her head, as if she wanted to explain something, then she smiled wryly and lowered her head, tremblingly said: "Mingyue went to visit Mingrui at noon, without mother's permission, she knew nothing. Mother punished and blamed her, Mingyue dare not complain at all." After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes in despair, letting the tears fall from the corners of her eyes, her body trembling.

He pretended to be strong even after being wronged, and even spoke for the eldest lady. Coupled with that delicate and pitiful appearance, it was even more pitiful.

The eldest lady was trembling with anger, "You bitch, you—" she said as she was about to come forward to hit Qiu Mingyue again.

"Stop." The old matriarch suddenly roared angrily, which shocked the eldest lady to freeze in place, not knowing what to say.

"Mother?" She realized belatedly that the old matriarch's face was already livid, and she was staring at her fiercely.She was a little guilty, and retracted her hand embarrassingly.

"Mother, don't listen to her nonsense, I have never restricted her freedom..."

The old lady sneered, "Then what's going on with the wounded people in this room?"

"I..." The eldest lady wanted to argue, but the old matriarch didn't give her a chance.

"This is the first time I've heard that as an older sister, even visiting her injured younger brother requires the permission of her aunt. Even if you came back a little later, you actually brought someone into her room to gesticulate and domineering." .Hehe, Lin Yufang, hello, you are fine. I don’t know, but you are getting more and more courageous now. Is it possible that one day even I, an old woman, will report to you, the eldest lady, wherever I go? "

It was rare for the eldest lady to see the old matriarch so furious and stern, so she couldn't help but panic too.

"No, mother, that's not what I meant. I... I'm just... Mingyue, all the maids in Mingyue's room are tricky and thoughtful, and she is too soft-hearted, and usually indulges these lowly maidservants blindly. My daughter-in-law is I'm worried that in the future these maidservants will sit up and bully her, so..."

"So, you'd better do it for her wholeheartedly?" The old lady looked at her lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Under the gaze of the old matriarch, the eldest lady felt even more guilty.
