The eldest lady Xie is Xie Lian, and the second lady Xie Jiao is Xie.
The two sisters were very polite when they came in, looking like ordinary ladies from wealthy families, definitely not the kind of people who don't know how to behave.
Miss Xie is actually already twenty years old, which is considered to be quite old. She was left behind because her fiancé had to marry someone else due to her filial piety towards her mother.
The older one is virtuous, polite, and beautiful. She has elegance in her manners. She wears simple clothes and does not come from a poor family. The younger one is only twelve or thirteen years old. She looks a bit cute and naive, and calls the lady "Aunt" affectionately.
When she saw Qu Moying, she did not try to get close to her directly without knowing the etiquette. Instead, she just addressed her as "Princess of England" and behaved respectfully and politely.
After Qu Moying looked them up and down, he smiled and asked them to take a seat.
Speaking of cousins, the lady just said that they were originally distant cousins, and it was impossible for them to contact each other for so many years. But when she met relatives from other places here, the lady couldn't help but think of her cousin at that time. Although she couldn't remember clearly, there was such a person after all.
Thinking that this distant cousin is no longer with us, my eyes can't help but become red. Most of the old friends at that time are no longer with us. Now seeing this pair of sisters in distress, I feel even more sad.
"Miss Xie, are you helping your grandmother with household chores?" Qu Moying asked with a smile after looking her up and down.
"My aunt was in poor health and I had nothing to do, so I offered to help her, but I didn't know how I was able to take care of her." Miss Xie lowered her head, feeling a little uneasy.
After all, the person in front of him was the Princess of England. Even though she was calm and composed, she felt a little uneasy at this moment. She rubbed the handkerchief in her hand twice, bit her lips lightly, and felt uneasy in her heart.
Seeing her so uneasy, the lady gave her a soothing look and said with a smile, "Luckily she is here, otherwise I would be in a mess these days. Your aunt has a lot of things to do, such as preparing the betrothal gifts for your eldest brother. Although the Zhou family is a new noble family, everyone in the mansion is very kind, and your aunt cannot lose face."
"Is he a very nice person?" Qu Moying frowned and asked.
"Yes, although she has just been rehabilitated, some old and new friends have come to visit, saying that the Zhou family is a family worth making friends with. Miss Zhou Er's reputation among other young ladies has also risen all of a sudden. If she hadn't been engaged early, she might not have been able to get the engagement." said the lady.
It seems that he is extremely satisfied with Miss Zhou Er of the Zhou family.
Qu Moying's eyes deepened. The more she looked at this Miss Zhou Er, the more suspicious she felt. It seemed that she was everywhere, but it always seemed to be an accident.
"Then big brother is really blessed." She said lightly.
"That's what I said too. Your aunt is very satisfied. She has been unhappy before, but now she is finally happy and is wholeheartedly preparing for your eldest brother's affairs." The lady sighed and was also happy for Luo.
Luo had been feeling depressed because of Qu Xuexin's incident, but now she finally had something to be happy about, and the lady thought this was great.
At least I don't have to think about Qu Xuexin anymore. Just treat that child as if he had never been born. Now that he is in the Prince's Mansion, there may not be a chance for them to see each other again in the future.
"I'll go see my aunt later." Qu Moying said with a smile.
"You should go and see her, but you don't have to go. Your aunt will be here soon. It would be embarrassing for you to go and see her in your current position."
Kill her." The lady smiled and looked outside the door. She had already sent someone to inform them. According to the time, Luo should have come by now. She didn't know what had delayed her. She still hadn't seen her.
The lady's eyes turned to the two sisters sitting quietly beside her, pointed at them and said, "They are living in our house now, there is no rush to find relatives, I ordered it, we are relatives anyway, although we didn't interact with each other in the past, but the blood relationship cannot be severed. If you have nothing to do in the future, you can ask them to come and accompany you."
Blood relationship? Qu Moying's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at the old lady. This was not just a simple statement. From what the old lady said, she really wanted to keep them.
This pair of sisters who accidentally bumped into the lady's heart really won the lady's heart!
"Yes, if you have some free time, you can come to the Prince of England's palace to play." Qu Moying invited as the lady did.
"Thank you, Princess England."
"Thank you, Princess Ying." The two sisters stood up to express their gratitude. The difference was that the older one was respectful and polite, while the younger one glanced at Qu Moying with interest, with a hint of curiosity and envy on her face.
The British princess in front of her was so beautiful that she was quite shocked. So even after sitting down, she was still secretly looking at Qu Moying.
But when Qu Moying's gaze swept back, she quickly retracted it, looking like a timid little animal, which was quite likable, and she didn't seem disgusted by her peeking.
Qu Moying asked a few more questions about their situations, and then the two of them stood up and said goodbye. They were very polite and courteous, and did not keep pestering Qu Moying, the Princess of England.
Behave with moderation.
The lady smiled and waved her hand, telling them to do as they pleased.
The two sisters withdrew.
The lady smiled and looked at the direction where the two sisters left. She seemed to be in a good mood, then turned to Qu Moying and asked, "What do you think?"
"He looks like a good person, well-mannered and doesn't show off too much. Grandmother, have you asked around? Is he really from my cousin's family?" Qu Moying asked curiously.
"I have inquired. The person who sent them here was an old man from that time. I have seen them before. Moreover, one of them has some relics left by her mother. She also mentioned that I am in the capital and that I am the old lady of the Qu Mansion. If they cannot find their relatives, they can come to me and stay for a while."
The lady sighed, "My cousin is actually a little younger than me, but these two children are considered old-born. I didn't expect that my cousin didn't get to see her two daughters get married. It's a pity to say."
"What about their father?" Qu Moying asked again.
"Their father died earlier than their mother. I heard that he died when they were young. After that, it was their mother who raised them. Now their biological mother is gone too. It's really pitiful." The lady sighed, "They came to Beijing to find their aunt's family. This is their closest relative. I asked someone to check, but that family is no longer there. I don't know where they went."
"What did you do before?" Qu Moying asked again.
"He is a businessman. I don't know if his business is not good. If it is for other reasons, he left Beijing a long time ago. But you can't say he won't come back. According to what the neighbors said, he will come back." The lady had inquired very clearly. When Qu Moying asked, she told him everything.
He explained the matter in detail.
It sounds like someone knows everything about you.
"Grandmother wants to introduce Miss Xie to father?" Qu Moying said after a moment of silence.
"That's what I think, but she doesn't have an elder around her right now. It's a good match, she's older, and your father is even older. This child looks well-educated. She speaks and acts in a very imposing manner, but she doesn't make a lot of noise. She's much better than Yu Shi."
The lady told Qu Moying everything, and she was 100% satisfied with the matter.
I just feel that without an elder around, this thing can't be accomplished now, but she likes it.
"What did father say?" Qu Moying asked after a moment of silence.
"Your father's opinion is also my opinion. He has no one in his backyard now, and it's a mess. It's not that no one came to propose marriage to him before, but I was afraid that Yu Shi would come again, so I didn't dare to agree to it casually. You are the Princess of England now, and there are some things that need to be taken care of. If it's not good, it's better to marry a foreigner, at least there won't be so many involvements."
The lady sighed and expressed her concerns.
Qu Moying married into the royal family. Even if she didn't want to do anything, sometimes she had no choice. The fact that the lady thought so showed that she was wholeheartedly considering Qu Moying's situation.
This can be regarded as a statement made by the Madam and Qu Moying.
"But she has no elders around, what should we do?" Qu Moying nodded and asked with a smile.
There has to be an elder present when getting married. If there is really no one, it will be difficult.
"Actually, I do have some, but I don't know if they are reliable. I have to go to the palace once when I have time." The lady was in a dilemma and said after thinking for a while.
"Relationships in the palace?" Qu Moying understood immediately and pointed in the direction of the imperial palace.
"He is also far away. I heard that he is even farther away than us. Her father is also from a distant cousin of Concubine Zhu Jing. They are not related by blood yet. He seems to be an adopted son or something like that. The two of them can't explain the details. When her mother passed away, she asked them to come to Beijing to seek refuge with her biological aunt. If they can't find her biological aunt, they can look for me. Of course, they can also try to find the King of Wei."
The lady explained the whole story, and then said, "This is their last move, but now there is no elder, and they have to ask, so they thought of going to the palace to ask."
The lady felt that it was still uncertain based on the words of the two orphans, and she had to ask the empress in the palace before she could make a final decision.
When Qu Moying heard her say this, he knew that the matter had basically been discussed, and now it was just to inform him. If it were not for his special identity, there would be no need to notify him now. At most, he would just tell him about it after it was done.
After all, I am a married woman, and a younger generation, so I cannot say anything about this matter.
He smiled and nodded: "Indeed, we should ask Concubine Jing. If this matter has nothing to do with her, it's fine. But if it really has something to do with her, it's better to ask her clearly."
"I thought so too. Grandma is very thoughtful."
Hearing Qu Moying say this, the lady became even happier. The two talked for a while before they heard some noise coming from outside.
