Somehow many old stories of the Qu family were dug up in the capital, including the fact that Qu Zhizhen made his concubine his principal wife.
Over the years, Yu had always done a good job and was considered a decent wife in the eyes of outsiders. But now it was revealed that she had treated her ex-wife's daughter harshly, causing her to go blind. She also let her maid frame the fourth daughter and ruin her reputation after she returned home. After the incident, she quickly sold the maid and asked the matchmaker to find a good family for her.
Needless to say, this is to support the maid who harmed her master.
As for Minister Qu's ex-wife, Xiao Yue, there is another saying that she was harmed by Yu, the concubine who came into the house at that time. Not long after the concubine came into the house, she gave birth to a child, even earlier than the wife. There was something fishy about this. What's more, some people said that the second wife of Qu went to a nunnery while she was pregnant, and even gave birth to the child in the nunnery, and she herself died of dystocia during childbirth.
It would be impossible if there was no Yu family incident.
The wife of a wealthy family would never run away when she is about to give birth.
All the things were brought up, including those that were previously unknown, those that were known now, and some obscure speculations. The Yu family's original good reputation was immediately destroyed.
Not only her, but Qu Qiuyan was also brought out.
I heard that the old woman beside Qu Qiuyan, under the order of Miss Qu San, wanted to knock Miss Qu Si into the water. Many people saw it at the time, and they all said that the old woman confessed.
Amidst these people's noisy speculations, Qu Zhizhen returned home.
It was already afternoon when Qu Moying received the news. He heard that he had returned in the morning. Fortunately, Qu Moying didn't care about such a father.
Compared to her father in her previous life, Qu Zhizhen gave her the feeling of being just a stranger who carried her father's name, or even worse than a stranger.
After hearing that Qu Zhizhen was coming, she went to ask for help. It was not only the Yu family that had reinforcements, she also had them.
When I arrived at the lady's yard, I heard laughter coming from the house before I even entered.
After the maid reported, she lifted the curtain and Qu Moying walked in slowly. She saw Qu Zhizhen sitting next to the lady. He looked to be in his thirties, good-looking, with a hint of smile on his face. Qu Qiuyan was talking in a sweet voice, but she stopped when she heard the voice at the door. For a moment, several pairs of eyes fell on Qu Moying.
There is Yu, Qu Qiuyan, and the father Qu Zhizhen who just appeared.
Qu Qiuyan's face veil has been removed and her face is basically healed. She has been recuperating from her injuries these days and doesn't want to see anyone, so she didn't get involved in Qingmeng's affairs.
When Yu told her about it later, she was still very regretful and said that if she was there at the time, she would never let Yu Qingmeng get into trouble and would definitely make Qu Moying lose his reputation.
Seeing Qu Moying, he smiled and said, "Fourth sister is here. Father has been waiting for you for a long time."
After saying that, she took two steps forward and tried to hold Qu Moying's hand, as if she and Qu Moying were really loving sisters.
But there was a hint of sarcasm in these words, as if Qu Moying had been late on purpose.
The old lady looked at everything with a smile on her face. She was still willing to see the sisters getting along with each other. Although she didn't like Qu Qiuyan, she was still her granddaughter after all, and could not be compared with Yu.
Qu Moying calmly avoided Qu Qiuyan's hand, took two steps forward and bowed to the lady-in-waiting, then bowed to Qu Zhizhen and Yu, and finally stepped aside to the lady-in-waiting.
The lady pulled her
With a cold little hand, he said softly, "Don't be afraid, this is your father, and he really loves you."
Qu Zhizhen's eyes fell on Qu Moying's veil, and a bit of displeasure appeared on his face. Her eyes were blind, so what good could there be? It couldn't bring him any benefits. Fortunately, she could still marry into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. This was the only gratifying thing. The Yongning Marquis's son was not bad.
He has good character and good abilities.
He has always looked down on Qu Moying and thought that it was a blessing for Qu Moying to marry Xu Lipeng. Looking at her appearance, he knew that she could not win Xu Lipeng's heart. Yu Qingmeng was willing to marry him as a concubine, which was considered a favor to her. What was there to worry about
"I heard that you are not satisfied with the marriage arrangement at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion?" Qu Zhizhen went straight to the point, with a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his words.
As soon as she came back, Yu told him about this. It would be nice for Xu Lipeng to take Yu Qingmeng as a concubine or a co-wife. Qu Zhizhen felt that this niece was more reliable than his own daughter. In the future, he and the Yongning Marquisate could also help each other.
How can Qu Moying alone be enough
"Yes!" Qu Moying knew what was going on when he saw Yu was there too, and answered calmly.
"How dare you! It's always the parents' words and the matchmaker's orders. How dare you, a girl like you, say such things?" Qu Zhizhen slammed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table and said in a cold voice.
The lady frowned and pursed her lips.
"Master, don't be angry. The fourth young lady is still young and doesn't understand things. She lives in the manor, so how could she understand so much?" Yu hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded softly.
Qu Moying sneered in his heart. The mother and daughter of the Yu family were really of the same bloodline. Qu Qiuyan put eye drops on him right at the beginning, and now Yu said that he had no talent or virtue.
"She's still young. She's already fourteen. What's so young about her? Go and get a nanny in a few days to teach her some manners. This way, she won't have to marry into the Yongning Marquis's mansion and bring disgrace upon our family."
Qu Zhi said angrily.
The so-called hiring a nanny means hiring a foster nanny. Some of the older maids who are released from the palace will become foster nannies in aristocratic families.
These nannies are very strict. Only if they teach well can they gain more favor from noble families. Of course, they cannot ruin their own reputation.
"Yes, yes, yes, I understand. Master, please don't be angry. The Fourth Miss will be fine in the future." Yu said with a self-blaming look, "It's my fault too. Seeing that the Fourth Miss had just returned and looked so weak, I always wanted to give in to her, but I didn't expect so many things to happen."
This makes her sound like a very good and loving mother. Many loving mothers have bad children. So Yu is a kind mother, but she is the bad son
There was a deep murderous look in his eyes. This Yu and Qu Zhizhen are really a pair. Everything they do and say is so disgusting.
"Father, Miss Yu said that she and Master Xu have long had a friendship, so she asked me to cancel the engagement as soon as possible!" Qu Moying looked up and said, ignoring Yu's disgusting voice.
Ever since she was reborn, she knew very well that there would always be a time when she and Qu Zhizhen would come into conflict.
If Qu Zhizhen was a father who truly loved her, he would not have ignored her for so many years and even failed to hire anyone to educate her. It is really ridiculous that he is acting as if he is taking her education seriously.
"Even if Yu Qingmeng follows you into the mansion, she is just a concubine. If you look at her, she is just a wife. Look at you. Even if you marry into the Yongning Marquis's mansion, you can't hold the Yongning Marquis's son's heart.
It is better to be with Yu Qingmeng. With her support, you just need to keep your position as the legal wife. As for what she said before, it was just a girl's jealous thoughts. Don't take it seriously."
Qu Zhizhen waved his hand.
Qu Moying was so angry that she almost laughed. There was a cold mockery in her eyes. Qu Zhizhen really thought that she knew nothing. It was ridiculous to hear what he said.
I really don’t know if Yu Qingmeng is his daughter or I am her
Not only did he stand by Yu Qingmeng's side wholeheartedly, but he was also thinking about how to trample on his dignity. If he was still the self-deprecating and eccentric Qu Moying, he might have lost his mind because of these words. It's no wonder that he used to be so boring and had no intention of living.
It turns out that this father can be so despicable.
Fortunately, she had already thought about it. Since Qu Zhizhen could say such mean words, she wanted to see what he would do.
There was a "bang" sound. This time the one who made the sound was not Qu Zhizhen, but the lady who couldn't bear to watch any more.
"I was the one who mainly canceled the marriage at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. Since Yu Qingmeng is so good, just let Yu Qingmeng marry him directly. Why bother dragging down Ying girl?" The old lady's face was as gloomy as water. She looked at Qu Zhizhen with great anger. She used to think that this second son was a good person, but ever since Yu came into being, he seemed stupid no matter how she looked at him.
How stupid does one have to be to say such a thing and actually believe it!
If everything in the backyard can be explained in this way, which backyard would be controversial
"Mother, the Yongning Marquisate has kept its word and has not cancelled the engagement for so many years. How can we propose to cancel the engagement at this moment? How will others see our family and me?" Seeing that it was his mother who spoke, Qu Zhizhen explained helplessly, looking up at Qu Moying who was standing next to the lady with her head down, "Look at her now, which family would be willing to marry her?"
The more he looked at her, the more gloomy he felt. Compared to his daughter Qu Qiuyan, who was smiling and had an outstanding appearance, Qu Zhizhen felt that she was like heaven and earth. If he didn't know that Yue would never have any second thoughts about him, he almost thought that the daughter in front of him was not his at all.
She is ugly. Although I can't see clearly, she must be uglier than Yan'er. After so many years, I don't know how ugly she is now.
"Father, even if I don't marry, I won't enter the Yongning Marquis Mansion." Qu Moying raised her head and said lightly. Her watery eyes swept over Yuchun who was standing at the door. Yuchun, who was holding the curtain, winked at her.
The time has come and people are here!
Qu Zhizhen was furious. He slammed his hand on the table, stood up suddenly, and pointed at Qu Moying: "If you don't marry me, do you still want me to support you?"
"If father doesn't want to raise me, I will leave the house." Qu Moying said without any evasion.
"You're a rebel! How dare you talk back to me like this?" Qu Zhizhen was furious. He strode over and raised his hand to slap Qu Moying in the face.
Yu Dong was quick-witted and pulled Qu Moying backwards while pushing forward with his own body. The slap happened to hit him in the face, causing his feet to go limp and he fell heavily to the ground. He covered his face with his hands and screamed in shock, "Master, please don't hit our young lady. Our young lady is weak and cannot be hit!"
A maid led a young and handsome man in. When they reached the door, they suddenly heard a voice from inside. Anger appeared on his fierce face. He pushed away the maid who was leading the way and strode in.
