To Be A Virtuous Wife

26

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Qu Qing Ju pushed the teacup to one side, "Dimei's eyes and ears are as intelligent as expected. Er sao thanks you for your notice." Finishing, she stood, "It seems that this snow has stopped already. Dimei is so hospitable that I shouldn't leave but there is much to do at the fu so er sao will leave first." Finishing, she didn't care to see what expression Qin Bai Lu revealed and bowed slightly to Wei Qing E. She turned and left, supporting herself on Mu Jin's hand.

Everybody present stopped in shock and quickly stood to bid farewell to find that Duan Wang Fei had already passed the door.

Qin Bai Lu hadn't thought that Qu Qing Ju would just stand up and leave. She had been smiling just a second ago. Her expression had instantaneously changed. Her own face was frozen in irritation that somebody had insulted her and it took her a while to suppress the rage.

Wei Qing E smiled and stood. She also unhesitatingly bid her farewells. She clearly didn't desire to remain at this place to give honor to Qin Bai Lu. Ning Wang might not be close to He Heng, but it was better than with He Yuan. Why would she side with Qin Bai Lu and offend Qu Qing Ju?

When the two wang fei left, half of the crowd of noblewomen continuously left, leaving behind only the members of the families that had sided with He Yuan.

"Wang fei, this Duan Wang Fei is too straightforward," The yahuan that supported Wei Qing E exclaimed in a quiet voice, "Nubi saw that Rui Wang Fei's expression even changed."

"Change is good. She keeps doing her act of the talented woman, it's so distasteful," When Wei Qing E came out of the pavilion, she mocked, "This entire city, who doesn't know that the second Duchess of Chang De[4]treated Duan Wang Fei badly. Qin Bai Lu was clearly accusing Qu Qing Ju of being unfilial. She was purposefully embarrassing Qu Qing Ju."

"Even so, but the way Duan Wang Fei left, wouldn't people say she is unfilial?" The yahuan looked at the surrounding and seeing no one around, she quipped, "I hadn't thought that Duan Wang Fei's personality was like this."

"Who doesn't have sore spots," Wei Qing E expressionlessly stepped on the snow, "All in the Jing City knows that, as a stepmother, the second Duchess of Chang De was not loving. Qu Qing Ju dares to do so, she isn't afraid of being talked about. Also, in Jing City, who would, for a second Duchess of Changde, criticize a wang fei? A member of the Imperial Family, a right is right, but a wrong is still right. Didn't you see that Duan Wang Fei was very respectful to the Marchioness of Xiang Qing?

Thinking that she was experienced after reading those stupid books? Wei Qing E smiled coldly. From her point of view, Qin Bai Lu clearly was a pedant. Were those words what she, as a dimei, could say to her saozi? No wonder Qu Qing Ju mocked Qin Bai Lu for being intelligent with her eyes and ears. After what happened today, tomorrow the rumor would be that Rui Wang Fu knew everything that occurred in the City of Jing.

Whose home didn't have things that people shouldn't see? In the future, the officials in Jing would be at least wary of Rui Wang Fu. She was happy to spectate at the chaos. But Qu Qing Ju had guts, to turn and leave. Not just anyone would have the boldness.

At this time, the sedan carrying Qu Qing Ju was slowly making its way to the front gate. Qu Qing Ju sat in the sedan without the anger that everybody else was imagining. At the beginning, she had the decree that if you who wouldn't let me be happy, then I would make it difficult for you. She dared to leave and she wasn't afraid of becoming enemies with Qin Bai Lu. Additionally, even if she didn't storm off, the two of them wouldn't have good relations in the future.

The swaying and bouncing sedan suddenly stopped. Qu Qing Ju heard the servants outside kneel and voice a greeting. She slightly pulled back the window curtain and saw a person wearing a white cloak with a taijianaccompanying him, standing five paces away from the sedan.
