Chapter 321 Liu Xiangshan Is a Restless Person

Qu Moying shook her hand indifferently and said, “I’m fine. Miss Yan is also injured. Eldest Sister, let’s go back first!”

She reached out to press her forehead. It could be seen from her pale face that she didn’t feel well.

Qu Xuexin nodded, stood up, and said with concern, “Moying, let’s go back first and find a doctor for you in the mansion.”

Her eyes were gentle, and her face was filled with concern. She appeared to be a caring sister.

However, Qu Moying could see through her hypocritical concern. Qu Xuexin didn’t really care about her. When she slightly lowered her head just now, she saw a trace of complacency on Qu Xuexin’s face.

Qu Xuexin was like Ji Youran. Qu Moying trusted Ji Youran very much in her previous life. Although Ji Youran was a little suspicious sometimes, Qu Moying would rationalize her behaviors. However, Ji Youran repaid her with nothing but the utmost malice in the end.

Qu Moying said indifferently, “Let’s go!”

Yu Dong went downstairs to order carriages. Soon, a carriage stopped at the door of the tea house, but it was a small one.

Yu Dong said, “First Lady, please go back with Hong Mei first. Another carriage is coming, but it will take a while to arrive.”

“Moying, you’re injured. You should go back first!” Qu Xuexin shook her hand and said. She looked out of the window and saw the carriage, which was really small. She thought it could only seat two or three people, and it would be too crowded for four people. Moreover, it looked very bumpy and uncomfortable to sit in. She said, “Moying, please ask for a carriage to pick me up after you get to the mansion!”

This carriage was really small. In Qu Mansion, even the carriages for servants looked better than this one.

Qu Xuexin found it quite detestable.

Yu Dong explained, “First Lady, another carriage is coming over. You don’t need to wait for a carriage from the mansion. But that carriage looks even smaller, and its wheels have just been fixed, so it comes a little later.”

“That carriage is even worse? What kind of carriage is that?” Qu Xuexin couldn’t imagine. From Yu Dong’s words, it seemed that the other carriage was a broken one. In comparison, Qu Xuexin thought the carriage downstairs was better because it wasn’t quite old.

Qu Moying looked out of the window and nodded. “Eldest Sister, you should go back first. I still feel a little dizzy and want to sit for a while!”

“Alright, then I’ll go back first. If you don’t want to take the next carriage, I’ll order a carriage for you from the mansion. You can just wait here!”

Qu Xuexin agreed with Qu Moying this time.

She agreed very quickly. She wasn’t as concerned about Qu Moying as she was just now. Actually, she didn’t want to keep Qu Moying company at all.

Qu Moying sneered in her heart. Hearing that the next carriage was even worse and she might not get a carriage for her, Qu Xuexin immediately changed her attitude. Although she still said nice words, they were just a false display of affection.

Qu Moying smiled, “Thank you, Eldest Sister!”

Qu Xuexin stood up and left with Hong Mei. Qu Moying looked down from the window. When Qu Xuexin boarded the carriage, she seemed to be very dissatisfied. She held Hong Mei’s hand and stood for a while before stepping up the carriage.

After both of them got on the carriage, the carriage curtain was closed, and the carriage slowly headed towards Qu Mansion.

As soon as the carriage left, another carriage stopped at the entrance of the tea house. It was bigger than ordinary carriages. Although it did not look luxurious, its simple but imposing dark gold embroidery curtain showed that the owner of the carriage was not an ordinary person.

It was not a curtain that whoever was rich could use.

Yu Dong helped Qu Moying downstairs. Just now, she told Qu Moying that there would be a big carriage coming over, and she deliberately picked a small carriage for Qu Xuexin.

Yu Dong hated Qu Xuexin’s hypocritical acts. If he could find a worse carriage, he would definitely let Qu Xuexin take that one.

Holding Yu Dong’s hand, Qu Moying got on the carriage and lifted the curtain. Just as she was about to walk in, someone grabbed her hand, causing her to throw herself into a strong embrace. It was such an abrupt and powerful embrace that Qu Moying felt her injured head was pressed hard, and she let out a painful groan.

“Are you injured?” The voice sounded familiar. It was Pei Yuanjun.

Qu Moying didn’t find it strange to see this mysterious Lord suddenly appear around her.

Her body fell into his arms.

She reached out to push his chest and wanted to sit up straight, but unexpectedly, her body was tightly held by him. She could not move at all. In a strange fit of anger, she pushed him hard with great strength.

She pushed him harder than normal women could do. However, Pei Yuanjun held her hands tightly. He held her waist with one hand, and he reached out to her head with the other hand. He groped her head, touched a swollen part on her head, and pressed hard wickedly.

This time, it hurt so much that Qu Moying couldn’t help but let out a low cry of pain, and her tears almost flowed out. She stopped struggling but snuggled in Pei Yuanjun’s arms.

“You are badly hurt, but you still have the strength!” Pei Yuanjun’s hand was still on the back of her head. He touched the swollen part on her head again, but this time, he did not use as much force as before. He just gently rubbed it. “Does it hurt?”

Qu Moying’s face was buried in his arms. She could not see his expression, but she could feel that he was not in a good mood. His voice was somewhat ruthless. She wondered who had offended him.

She was really bold just now. She even wanted to slap him and push him away.

“It hurts!” Qu Moying said sincerely. Since she couldn’t move, she closed her eyes. It was really painful. She had been enduring it before.

Even though it was painful, she could only endure it. However, at this moment, she felt inexplicably wronged. She didn’t know if it was because the harsh pain or if it was something else that tears actually welled up in her eyes. She felt very uncomfortable. She closed her eyes and forcefully suppressed this inexplicable pain.

“Why didn’t you fight back?” Pei Yuanjun asked, rubbing the back of Qu Moying’s head with his hand. Hearing her painful cry, he still did not stop, “I don’t think you are a soft-hearted person!”

The bump would recover soon if it was properly massaged!

“His words sounded like mockery. Is he mocking me for being useless? Or does he think I’m cruel and ruthless?”

“Whatever! I’ve never hidden it from him…”

“It’s not the time yet!” Qu Moying said gloomily. She felt that her head was hurting more and more. It was not so painful just now. Now that she was massaged like this, it made her whole body numb.

She reached out to push Pei Yuanjun’s hand, but Pei Yuanjun’s hand was still massaging her head steadily, not affected by her at all.

Pei Yuanjun asked lazily, “Do you need my help?”

“No!” Qu Moying wanted to shake her head, but her head was pressed by him, and she couldn’t move at all. She only said this one word. She had to rely on herself.

The carriage quieted down, and the vibe was strange. Yu Dong did not take the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove forward.

Pei Yuanjun suddenly smiled and said meaningfully, “After the Qixi Festival, I will go to the border.”

Qu Moying was stunned. “What happened at the border?”

“It’s nothing serious. It’s just that some people are restless.” Pei Yuanjun suddenly laughed quite loudly. Qu Moying felt that his voice was ringing in her ear.

She couldn’t see, but she felt that she was too close to him right now.

She couldn’t move even if she wanted to. Her whole body was controlled by Pei Yuanjun, and her head was pressed tightly on his chest, which made her feel that his body was hard and her nose was a little painful. It could be seen that he used much strength.

Being pressed in the head, she felt her head painful and dizzy. She reacted slower than before, and she blurted out before she realized.

“Restless people? Is it the Guardian General?”

When she finished her words, she realized that she had made a slip of the tongue. She hurriedly shut her mouth and regretted in her heart. “How could I say something like this!”

In her previous life, she knew that the Guardian General, Liu Xiangshan, was not a good person from her father. It seemed that the reason why her father had returned to the capital and his military power had been partly removed was related to Liu Xiangshan. In the past, her father had told her that Liu Xiangshan could not be trusted completely.

Her father said those words to her at that time because she would be the Crown Princess and she would inevitably come into contact with political affairs. Even if she didn’t have political ambitions, she had to be more careful.

But right now, she was just Qu Moying. Qu Zhizhen would not tell her such a thing. Even if he told her, he might not know the Guardian General’s background himself. After all, he was a civil official, whereas Liu Xiangshan was a military officer at the border. There was no chance for interaction between them.

Would she arouse his suspicion by saying this?

“Clever girl, you guessed correctly!” Pei Yuanjun smiled. His eyes flashed slightly. He leaned back against the soft couch behind him. Qu Moying also leaned over and curled into a ball on his chest. He held her tightly in his arms. She looked small.

She was so cute but also so pitiful!

Qu Moying breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Pei Yuanjun thought it was her guess. Otherwise, she really couldn’t explain the meaning of what she had just said.

Pei Yuanjun said meaningfully, “Liu Xiangshan is a restless person.”

It was hard for Qu Moying to comment, so she closed her eyes and pretended not to hear him. She shrank back, hoping not to talk about this anymore.

This question was too far away from her, and it was not in accordance with her life.

“Not only Liu Xiangshan but also his daughter was restless!” Pei Yuanjun’s voice sounded very calm, but it gave Qu Moying a creepy feeling. She felt so strange that she could not help but ask, “Doesn’t Lady Liu have an eye disease?”

“She could be cured although she has an eye disease, right?” Pei Yuanjun lowered his head and looked at the little head in his arms. He exerted a little strength in his hand.

“Ah!” His sudden press made Qu Moying unable to help but scream. She tried to break free from him.

Pei Yuanjun lessened his strength and comforted the restless Qu Moying in his arms. “Alright, alright. You’ll be fine after the massage. Otherwise, you will feel dizzy for the next few days.”

It was so painful that tears fell from Qu Moying’s eyes. At this time, she could not come back to her senses. She only felt that the swollen part of her head was almost torn apart. For a moment, she could only breathe heavily with her eyes closed.

Pei Yuanjun’s hand slowed down a little, and there was a trace of imperceptible gentleness in his eyes…
