Chapter 124 The Fate of the Qu Family
Chapter 124 The Fate of the Qu Family
Qu Jingyao got on the carriage and told Dongqing to go straight to the bookstore.
"Yes, Master, sit tight."
Holly was sitting on the shaft of the carriage and the whip in his hand made a sound, and the carriage slowly drove towards the street.
Although it was past noon, the people in the market had not yet dispersed.
Dongqing slowed down the carriage. The bookstore was not far away, only two streets away from the house.
"Ah! We've arrived at the Master's bookshop."
Dongqing jumped out of the carriage and walked back inside. Qu Jingyao said "hmm" calmly, lifted the curtain with her delicate hands, and slowly got out of the carriage.
She raised her eyes and looked into the shop. There were still a few students flipping through books inside, while Old Wang was sitting on a recliner, relaxing with his eyes closed.
"Miss, what do you need?" The person who came forward was a stranger. Judging from his clothes, he should be a waiter.
Qu Jingyao smiled faintly and pointed behind the counter: "I'm here to see Mr. Wang."
The waiter was obviously startled, glanced at Mr. Wang, and then apologized and asked her to wait a moment.
He walked closer to Mr. Wang and leaned over to whisper something in his ear. Mr. Wang opened his eyes instantly and asked, "Where is the person?"
Qu Jingyao's eyebrows curved, the corners of her lips raised in a slight arc, and she bowed to Wang Laofu.
"Mr. Wang, I'm here to give you a painting book today."
"Okay, okay, hahahaha... you're finally here, otherwise I would have sent people to the village to look for you."
Old Wang quickly sat up and looked at the picture books in her hands with burning eyes.
Qu Jingyao put her hand to her lips and chuckled, then tactfully handed the book forward.
"Mr. Wang, this is Journey to the West, but it's only part of it. I'll write more later."
When Mr. Wang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded and kept saying: "Okay, okay, okay..."
She glanced at Qu Jingyao. It was hard to imagine that this girl was just a peasant girl. Her talent was not inferior to any noble lady in the capital. He stroked his beard and smiled approvingly.
It's a pity that the boy is not here today, what a pity...
If Qu Jingyao knew what Mr. Wang was thinking, she would have to bow and say: Thank you!
When she walked into the bookstore, the students stopped turning the pages of the books in their hands and looked up at her secretly.
When Qu Jingyao turned around, those people flipped through the books in a panic, and some of them accidentally dropped the books on the ground. The noise instantly attracted Qu Jingyao's attention.
"Sorry... I'm sorry." His ears turned red as he picked up the book on the ground and quickly turned his back.
Qu Jingyao was a little confused. Old Wang behind her saw all of this and stroked his beard while shaking his head and laughing.
He exchanged a few more pleasantries with Qu Jingyao until Baiguo came over.
"master."
Seeing Bai Guo coming, Qu Jingyao nodded and bowed to Old Wang: "Old Wang's daughter will go back first. The next volume will be delivered in a while."
"Okay, girl, don't keep me waiting for long!"
A faint smile appeared on Qu Jingyao's delicate face, and she turned and left with Baiguo.
After the master and servant left the shop, they told Dongqing to go back first and come back after taking a walk.
"Master, let me drive the carriage and follow you. It's not too late to get in the carriage when you are tired." Dongqing leaned over and said.
Qu Jingyao glanced at him, then nodded slightly, reminding him that there were many children on the street and he should be careful not to hurt anyone.
"Yes, don't worry, Master."
After saying that, Qu Jingyao slowly walked towards the market.
The master and servant moved among the crowd, and many people cast astonished glances at them.
Qu Jingyao was already used to it, while Baiguo stared at the people around him cautiously.
"Wow... Mom, Mom! Doctor, please take a look at my mom, she..."
Qu Jingyao and her servant were attracted by the familiar cries.
The two looked at each other and walked towards the crowd.
"Master, it sounds like Qu Huaer to me."
Qu Jingyao nodded. She had recognized her name a long time ago. She curled her lips and slowly squeezed into the crowd.
Looking at Qu Huaer who was surrounded by the crowd, she was crying loudly while hugging the unconscious Old Lady Xu.
"This old woman is having a stroke. I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do for her!"
"Impossible, impossible, mother, mother, wake up." Qu Huaer shook the old woman Xu in her arms.
When the doctor saw this, he quickly reminded her that it was not easy for the patient to be shaken back and forth, and she was pregnant and could not be excited.
"You're talking nonsense, nonsense, I'm not pregnant, no."
Hearing her roar, the doctor stepped back in fear, and people around him looked at him strangely.
When Qu Huaer heard their whispers, her eyes instantly turned red and she held her head and yelled wildly.
My eldest brother is already a disabled person and has to take medicine every day. My mother also suddenly fell ill after that night, and the doctor diagnosed her with a stroke today.
She really didn't know what to do in the future. The Wu family didn't recognize the baby in her belly, and her eldest sister-in-law ignored her and her mother on the pretext of serving her eldest brother.
"Master, the Qu family has finally gotten their comeuppance."
Qu Jingyao smiled coldly, this was just the beginning.
Why didn't she touch Qu Shuliang's children and Qu Shushan? Haha... Let's wait and see, the real show has just begun.
"By the way, Master, I found out that the two young masters had a conflict with Qu Shushan in the academy today, but fortunately, they didn't suffer any losses."
After Bai Guo finished speaking, Qu Jingyao's eyes darkened instantly. Qu Shushan still hadn't learned his lesson!
Now that Old Lady Xu has fallen, how long can he continue to jump around?
"Baiguo, go check on Qu Wenxuan. He seems to be in Qing Academy as well."
"Okay, I'll check it out when I get back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qu Jingyao was about to turn around and leave when someone grabbed her skirt from behind.
She looked along the hem of her skirt and saw Qu Huaer staring at her with red and swollen eyes like a madman.
"Qu Jingyao, you evil bitch, it's all your fault. My family is almost broken up because of you."
Qu Jingyao didn't tolerate her and kicked her away.
She flicked the hem of her skirt twice, then raised her eyes and looked down at her condescendingly, the mockery in her eyes clearly visible.
"I'm harming you? Haha... Qu Huaer, do you really dare to say anything?
Who killed my father? And who wanted to sell me to the Wu family as a concubine before the seventh day of my father's death?
Who kicked us, mother and son, out of the house? Who forced us to leave the clan?
Who forced us to say that since we are no longer the Qu family, our father's remains must be moved out of the ancestral tomb?
Who is it that can't stand seeing our family doing well and comes here to make trouble? Which of these things are we responsible for causing harm to your Qu family?"
As Qu Jingyao asked these questions, the gloom on Qu Huaer's face became even darker.
Everyone around her looked at her with contempt.
"Why is this family so disgusting?"
"Exactly. Look at her. Tsk tsk tsk, it's unfortunate for this little girl to have such a family."
"Hey, why does she look like the mother and daughter who caused a scene in front of the Wu family last time?"
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Qu Jingyao's delicate face, and she said coldly, "Don't blame me for being rude next time."
Before leaving, she glanced around the corner of the clinic.
