Luo arrived late, even later than the lady had expected.
The reason why I came late was because Miss Zhou Er was now in the East Mansion next door, and my purpose was to ask her for help.
Thinking of how Miss Zhou Er had just cried and complained about her grievances in front of her, Luo felt very uneasy.
It didn't take much of a process for Luo to go from initially thinking that Miss Zhou Er was not a good match to now thinking that everything about Miss Zhou Er was good.
Although Miss Zhou Er had not married into the family, she would send some things over from time to time to greet them. Although they were not rare items, they often touched Mrs. Luo's heart. She liked Miss Zhou Er more and more, and the more she looked at her, the more suitable she seemed to her. Moreover, when she asked around outside, she also heard that Miss Zhou Er had a very good reputation.
No matter which family the lady or daughter is from, when talking about Miss Zhou Er, they all praise her and say that the Zhou family has been dragged down for so many years. They also say that Miss Zhou Er is a good person. I heard that other unmarried daughters in the Zhou family have also found some good marriages recently.
All of a sudden, the Zhou family returned to its former glory from its decline, and even surpassed it.
Many people mentioned the Zhou Mansion and the Zhou Family and praised them.
Such a Miss Zhou Er naturally won Mrs. Luo's heart. Therefore, when she heard her talking about a family of servants in the West Mansion, Mrs. Luo paid special attention to her and later recommended this family to the lady.
Unexpectedly, something happened now, and the one who got into trouble was a maid in this family. Yu Qingmeng pretended to be this maid and entered the Prince of England's palace, causing such a big accident. Luo was scared just thinking about it.
What would happen if something really happened? She was just well-intentioned at the time. She heard from Miss Zhou Er that this family was very loyal and everyone in the family was good. It would be a pity not to give Ying girl some as a dowry.
Miss Zhou Er came here today just for this matter, and she cried to Luo that she had heard it from a housekeeper in Yongning Marquis's Mansion, who mentioned it to Luo.
The housekeeper of the Yongkong Marquis's Mansion was the cousin of a housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion. It happened that this housekeeper came to give a gift to Miss Zhou Er's father and to visit her cousin. Miss Zhou Er had nothing to do, so she called her over to talk. The housekeeper kept saying that her cousin's family was a good one and that they were now the West Mansion of the Qu Mansion. She also asked Miss Zhou Er to help speak to them, saying that the family wanted to go to the Prince of Ying's Mansion and serve as a dowry for the fourth Miss Qu.
Miss Zhou Er saw that the housekeeper was smart in speech and well-behaved, and also saw that her own housekeeper was also loyal and that the whole family was good. Thinking that since there was such a person, she said a few more words in front of Mrs. Luo. She didn't expect that this family was so inappropriate that they actually let Yu Qingmeng sneak in.
Miss Zhou Er had just heard the news. She had been living in seclusion for a long time and didn't know the twists and turns of the matter. After hearing about it, she was terrified, so she went to find Mrs. Luo to cry and ask her to forgive her mistakes. She shouldn't have said so much in front of Mrs. Luo, which caused all these troubles.
Luo Shi did blame her before, thinking that if it wasn't for what Miss Zhou Er said, she wouldn't have said so many words in front of the lady at that time and saved this family.
Now seeing Miss Zhou Er crying pitifully, I tried to persuade her with a few words, and that’s why I arrived too late.
After entering the room, she saw Qu Moying and bowed to him first. Although she was the elder, Qu Moying's status was there. Logically, even if the lady saw Qu Moying,
He also had to pay his respects first, but Qu Moying was considerate of the old lady, so he paid his respects to her first.
"Why are you so late? Didn't I ask someone to call you here early in the morning?" the lady scolded.
"I was just investigating something and couldn't get away for the moment. I am late. I hope the princess can forgive me." Luo smiled and didn't mention the matter of Miss Zhou Er.
She took charge of this matter.
"What happened to the assassination attempt? Was the princess scared? Is His Royal Highness the King of England okay? How dare Yu Qingmeng do such a thing? Is she... is she really not going to kill herself?" Luo asked with concern. She looked at Qu Moying's condition and was relieved to see that she looked normal and even looked a little better.
Although Luo took the responsibility, he was also afraid that Qu Moying was really injured, and this matter might not end so well.
"Don't worry, aunt. I'm fine and the King of England is fine too." Qu Moying smiled slightly.
"This is also my fault. I just mentioned it briefly at the time, but who knew it would turn out to be such a disaster. Luckily you are all okay, otherwise I... I would be guilty of this." Luo sighed and said guiltily.
"How does aunt know this family?" Qu Moying asked casually.
Luo was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she said vaguely, "I heard the steward here talk about it once."
"I wonder which manager makes my aunt trust him so much?" Qu Moying asked with interest.
Luo didn't expect Qu Moying to ask so much, and she couldn't answer for a while. She could only say, "It's just a steward. I can't tell you right now, but you'll know when you see him. Although I have been involved in the affairs of the West Mansion before, I'm not very familiar with the servants here after all."
After hearing her say that, it meant that he couldn't find it. Qu Moying smiled slightly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
The fact that the aunt would say such things only meant that she was making excuses. Although this was the West Mansion, the aunt had been helping to manage it for more than just one day. Whether it was when Qu Qiuyan was here or now, the aunt had actually always been helping to manage things here, it was just a matter of how much she managed.
After assisting for so long, these people in the West Mansion should be clear about this, especially the housekeepers like this, there are not many of them.
Since what my aunt said was not true, it means that someone made her bear this responsibility.
Qu Moying really couldn't think of anyone else who could have made his aunt take such a heavy responsibility, except for Qu Xuexin in the past.
"Aunt, when will my brother get married?" He smiled and took the question away.
"It should be soon. We are currently deciding on a date." Speaking of this marriage, Luo smiled and was obviously very satisfied.
The lady also laughed: "Wait until Miss Zhou Er gets married, then you can take a break."
"What mother said is right. Miss Zhou Er is a capable person and seems to be able to do things. Once she marries me, I can enjoy my life. If anything happens here, I will be able to free up my hands to help you, so that this place won't be a mess." Luo said with a smile.
His face was full of satisfaction.
Qu Moying still remembered Luo's unhappy look at first, but she didn't expect that not long after, when Miss Zhou Er was mentioned, her aunt was already delighted.
This is not something that ordinary people can do.
"big
Auntie really likes Miss Zhou Er!" Qu Moying smiled slightly with her hands covering her lips.
"It's not a matter of like or dislike, as long as your eldest brother likes it. Your eldest brother has always been stubborn, and he had a fight with us about this before. Now it seems like a good thing, and it's worth it that your eldest brother made such a fuss at that time." Luo sighed, with a hint of annoyance in her joy.
"I heard that Miss Zhou Er accompanied her grandmother to burn incense and worship Buddha before?" Qu Moying asked again.
Luo nodded, smiling: "This child is a filial child. I didn't have time to go at that time, so she accompanied your grandmother there by herself. Now I think about it, I really wronged her. After all, she was made to run around before she even got married."
"Running around all the time? Will Miss Zhou Er come over often to accompany her grandmother?" Qu Moying became more and more curious, and her long eyelashes raised.
"That's not the case. She doesn't come to accompany me often. She always comes to accompany your aunt. Your aunt is so blessed. I just take advantage of her blessing." The lady joked.
Luo blushed at these words and explained hastily, "Mother, it's inconvenient for her to come. If it were convenient for her to come, she would have to come all the time. When she marries into your family, she will definitely be filial to you. As for me, I have to accept your blessing!"
This made the old lady laugh. She just said that. In fact, she didn't really care about Luo's family. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. How could a person of her age like her really care about her own children and grandchildren
Seeing how happy they were, Qu Moying knew that Miss Zhou Er had won the hearts of her grandmother and aunt.
So what the aunt said before was for Miss Zhou Er
This thought was abrupt, but it clearly entered Qu Moying's mind.
"Grandma, the amulet you asked for last time was also accompanied by Miss Zhou Er. I wonder when Miss Zhou Er will be free to help me meet the master who gave me the amulet." Qu Moying asked with a smile, reaching out to take out the amulet from his sleeve.
"Why, you want to find this master?" the lady asked in surprise.
"Yes, I wonder if he is still there? I originally wanted to trouble my grandmother, but she is old and may not have the energy, so I wanted to trouble Miss Zhou Er. I wonder if she has time to accompany me to look for him." Qu Moying said with a smile.
"I'm afraid it's hard to find." The lady shook her head, "Maybe he's gone."
"Already gone?" Qu Moying raised her watery eyes.
"It was said before that no one knows where he will be. It could be here or somewhere else, but he has a very good reputation, and I heard that he won't stay in any place for long." said the lady.
"How does grandma know so much?" Qu Moying asked. The grandma didn't pay much attention to such things in the past, and she had never heard her talk about such a master before.
"This was told to me by Miss Zhou Er. If she hadn't mentioned it to me, I wouldn't have known it." The lady replied with a smile, and she seemed very satisfied with Miss Zhou Er.
It turned out to be Miss Zhou Er again, what a coincidence! Qu Moying smiled thoughtfully.
"Madam... Madam, something bad has happened. His Royal Highness... His Royal Highness... is fighting... fighting... with the Second Master!"
A servant rushed in, tripped over the threshold, and fell to the ground...
