Chapter 253 I Always Make a Good Impression on Others

Seeing Pei Yusheng act like this, Chun Xiu hurriedly stepped in front of the curtain. “Your Highness, our young miss has eye disease, so it is inconvenient for her to be seen by others.”

“It doesn’t matter. If Lady Liu wants, I will ask someone to treat Lady Liu’s eyes. I heard that Vice Minister Qu’s Mansion’s Fourth Lady’s eye disease is almost cured.” Pei Yusheng couldn’t force his way over because Chun Xiu blocked the way. He looked a bit displeased, and his gaze turned cold as he looked at Chun Xiu.

If Chun Xiu was just an ordinary maid, she would not dare to say anything else at this time.

“Your Highness.” A young eunuch rushed in and whispered a few words in Pei Yusheng’s ear. Pei Yusheng frowned and stepped forward after hesitating for a moment. Chun Xiu was just a maid, and she could not help but take a step back.

“Lady Liu, although I have talked to you these days, I have never seen your face. I may not recognize you when I meet you on the road in the future.” Pei Yusheng said with a smile. “Lady Liu, could you please come out and meet me?”

The woman behind the curtain was not wearing the veiled hat. If she came out, he could see her face.

Pei Yusheng’s words were polite, but his action was rude. He reached out to pull the curtain and was about to lift it up.

There was only Chun Xiu by the side of the curtain. Even though she was mentally prepared, she panicked at this time. Pei Yusheng was determined to see Lady Liu.

“Your Highness, I don’t look well, so I’d better not meet you. When my eye disease recovers in the future, I will meet you.” Qu Moying stood up behind the gauze curtain, which meant that if Pei Yusheng lifted the curtain, she would definitely refuse to be seen by him.

In that case, Lord Jing would appear to be rude and domineering.

Pei Yusheng’s hand froze on the curtain. With just a lift, he would be able to see Lady Liu. However, it would definitely displease her and even the Guardian General.

He just wanted to express his feelings for her, not to annoy her.

After thinking for a while, Pei Yusheng finally put down his hand. After all, he wanted power more than beauty. Even if Liu Lanxin was not as beautiful as he wanted, so what? As long as she was the Guardian General’s daughter, her status was not ordinary. There were many people who were eager to marry her.

Since that was the case, he didn’t want to leave a bad impression on her.

Thinking of this, Pei Yusheng took a step back, smiled, and said gently, “Sorry for my rudeness. I thought we were familiar with each other after these days, but I didn’t expect you to care so much about your eye disease. Eye disease is not a big deal. Fourth Lady Qu of Vice Minister Qu’s Mansion also has an eye disease, but she always appears in front of people. You don’t need to care about others’ opinions.”

This was the second time he mentioned Qu Moying. Sitting behind the curtain, Qu Moying was speechless. Pei Yusheng really liked to compare her with Lady Liu.

“Fourth Lady Qu’s eye disease is different from mine. I am afraid my eye disease… is not easy to cure.” Qu Moying sighed.

“So what? Even if your eye disease couldn’t be cured, you are still incomparable. Your manner is beyond the reach of other women.”

Pei Yusheng smiled and cupped his hands towards Qu Moying who was behind the curtain. “I still have things to do, so I will leave first. If you need me for anything, please let me know!”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Qu Moying bowed sideways in return.

Pei Yusheng turned around and left in a hurry with his men. It seemed that something really happened.

After freshening up and changing into her own clothes, Qu Moying thought it was time to leave. But the door opened, and Pei Yuanjun walked in. He was dressed in a black cape embroidered with purple iris flowers, which was not showy in the night but beautiful and noble.

Although Pei Yusheng was very handsome, he was far inferior to Pei Yuanjun, who was absolutely the most good-looking man in the capital.

However, when Pei Yuanjun’s face darkened, no one would dare to look at his extremely handsome face.

At this moment, Pei Yuanjun looked gloomy, revealing a chilling hostility. It seemed that someone had provoked him.

“Greetings, Your Highness!” Qu Moying stood up and bowed to him gracefully.

Pei Yuanjun snorted gloomily. People who had been bathed in blood on the battlefield like him would always reveal a killing intent when they got angry. Ji Hanyue could face her father’s anger calmly in her past life, so she was not afraid at all when facing Pei Yuanjun’s anger now.

“Reluctant to part?” Pei Yuanjun’s eyes fell on Qu Moying’s face. She had not completely dressed up and had not put on the eye veil yet. Her clean and clear eyes could be seen, which made her look even more beautiful and charming.

“Your Highness, you mean Lord Jing? It might be the case because he likes Lady Liu very much.” Qu Moying smiled and said.

No matter what Pei Yusheng said, it was because he had taken the person behind the curtain for Liu Lanxin.

Pei Yuanjun glanced at Qu Moying and reached out to take the eye veil. He looked at the wide eye veil and asked, “When can you take off the eye veil?”

He stopped asking about what happened just now.

Qu Moying did not know why he changed the topic, but she could sense that the atmosphere was not as tense as before. “When the time is ripe.”

“When is the ripe time?” Pei Yuanjun looked at her with a faint smile.

“There is no hurry. Any time will do. Perhaps I can be of some help to Your Highness.” Qu Moying said meaningfully.

“What do you mean?” Ji Hai came over to help Pei Yuanjun remove his cape. Pei Yuanjun sat down on a chair at the side and elegantly straightened his sleeves as he asked with a faint smile.

“Doesn’t Lady Liu need to see a doctor for her eye disease?” Qu Moying asked with a smile.

“Yes!” Pei Yuanjun said lazily, “I heard that the doctor who treated you was sent by the ex-Crown Princess. His medical skills are outstanding, but he is unwilling to work in Imperial Hospital in the palace. Right?”

“Yes, Doctor Ji was indeed invited by my cousin sister. He has treated me for many years, and he cured my eye disease.” Qu Moying nodded. These things could not be hidden from Pei Yuanjun.

“Is he not in the village now?” Pei Yuanjun asked calmly, looking at Qu Moying with his deep eyes.

Qu Moying felt like she was being targeted by a powerful beast, but she did not understand why he was paying so much attention to her expression. She had never intended to hide it from him. She nodded calmly and said, “Doctor Ji is not in the village most of the time. He likes to travel around the country. He often leaves a few months’ doses of medicine for me and comes back to treat me after being away for a period of time.”

It was a coincidence for Ji Hanyue to invite Doctor Ji, Ji Luoxuan. She heard that he was skilled in medicine, so she personally went to invite him. Ji Luoxuan was different from ordinary doctors. He only treated people on whom he had a good impression, but he liked traveling and rarely stayed in a place and treated others.

Although he was a doctor, he hadn’t seen many patients.

This was the reason why he was not famous even though he was a skilled doctor. When Ji Hanyue went to invite him, she did not have much hope. However, Doctor Ji agreed immediately after hearing that it was to treat the eye disease of Vice Minister Qu’s Mansion’s Fourth Lady. He immediately packed up and followed Ji Hanyue’s people to Qu Moying’s village.

The treatment lasted several years, during which time he carefully treated Qu Moying’s eyes.

Qu Moying had always respected Doctor Ji.

Before Qu Moying returned to the capital this time, Doctor Ji had left the village. He said that he would return after traveling for a period of time, just as he always did, and Qu Moying was not worried.

“When he comes back, let me know.” Pei Yuanjun shifted his gaze away from Qu Moying’s face, his eyes dark.

“OK, I will tell you.” Qu Moying nodded. Pei Yuanjun was obviously interested in Lady Liu, so he might need Doctor Ji. Thinking of this, Qu Moying said, “Doctor Ji only treats people on whom he has a good impression. If he doesn’t like a person, I am afraid the person will be refused. Even if he doesn’t refuse, his treatment won’t be effective.”

She was reminding Pei Yuanjun so that he wouldn’t be disappointed because he was obviously not someone who could accept being turned down. It was better to remind him bluntly now.

“I always make a good impression on others.” Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.

Qu Moying was extremely speechless. If he really made a good impression on others, he would not be famous for being cruel. Everyone in the capital felt a chill in their hearts when they mentioned him.

Although he was extremely handsome, no one dared to look at him, which could indicate how ferocious he was in the eyes of others. It was not just a matter of first impression.

Of course, Qu Moying would not mention it at this time, so she changed the topic, “Why did Lord Jing leave in a hurry just now?”

If not for an important matter, Pei Yusheng would continue to pester her no matter what. Then, it would be difficult for her to deal with him.

“Your dear third sister is looking for him.” Pei Yuanjun said lazily. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of the tea, and then put it down.

Qu Moying couldn’t help but look at the teacup. She suddenly widened her eyes because she found that it was the teacup she had just used, and she put it aside because Pei Yuanjun came in.

There was an inexplicable itch in her throat. She turned her head and coughed to conceal the slight blush on her face as she said, “What’s the matter with Qu Qiuyan? Grandmother has already grounded her. How did she know that Lord Jing came?”

In fact, even if Qu Qiuyan was not grounded, she could not find out about Lord Jing’s whereabouts.

“I sent someone to inform her and also help her go out smoothly to find Pei Yusheng’s people.” Pei Yuanjun cast a sidelong glance at Qu Moying. When he saw the rare blush on her face, he smiled in a good mood. He raised his eyebrows, feeling interested.

Qu Moying suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Pei Yuanjun in shock. Then she understood. Her long eyelashes fluttered, casting shadows under her eyes. She looked like a confused young girl.

“So, Qu Qiuyan found Lord Jing?” She asked.

She guessed that Pei Yuanjun had done something, but she did not expect that he had done something to Qu Qiuyan. Qu Qiuyan was really unlucky because she actually provoked Pei Yuanjun.

Pei Yuanjun calmly looked at Qu Moying and smiled. Then, he stood up, shook his sleeves, and said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to see something interesting!”
