"I'm not sure either, but... I'm looking for some small things. I noticed that Miss Liu was particularly attentive to small items. They seemed to be small things, or seals or something like that. When Haihua saw these, her breathing became heavier." Yuxiu thought for a moment and said, she was standing by the table at the time, and the person she paid special attention to was not Liu Lanxin, but Haihua.
Haihua's breathing involuntarily became heavier because of nervousness. Yuxiu sensed it keenly and looked in the direction Liu Lanxin was looking at at that time.
Over and over again, some patterns begin to emerge.
Qu Moying didn't have as keen a sense as Yuxiu, but she was observing Liu Lanxin and paid special attention to her. Whenever she was slightly touched, Liu Lanxin's behavior would be different.
"What on my cousin's list is there that Miss Liu wants? How could she, a woman living on the border, have something in her cousin's hands?"
Qu Moying muttered to himself in confusion.
"Master, could it be that the Crown Princess is really on good terms with her and told Miss Liu about something important? Now that the Crown Princess is gone, Miss Liu has started to have thoughts about it?"
Yuxiu thought about it and felt that this was possible.
"It's impossible for my cousin to be friends with her." Qu Moying shook his head, denying this possibility.
"Master, I don't understand." Yu Xiu said puzzledly, not understanding why her master was so sure of it.
"Given Miss Liu's personality, if she was really close to my cousin, she would have told me when she saw me. Besides, she had the opportunity to tell me about some of the things that happened later, but she never told me. Now she brought up such an obvious thing to harass me, saying that she found that Concubine Ji was not treating my cousin well. Who doesn't know about this now?"
Qu Moying said disapprovingly.
Yuxiu nodded repeatedly when she heard this. She had asked this question just now and Qu Moying had answered her, but not as clearly as this sentence. From then on, she really believed that what Liu Lanxin said before was complete nonsense.
The thing about her being on good terms with the former Crown Princess was pure wishful thinking and nonsense.
But suddenly she thought of something else: "Master, what about that letter? Why does it sound like this letter will be delivered to you?"
"I think so!" Qu Moying smiled coldly, "My cousin is gone, and Concubine Ji's thoughts are easy to guess. Something like this happened before. The Ji family in the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion is really nothing to her. If I can use it to please King Jing and use it as a way to contact me, King Jing will like it."
There was a hidden meaning in these words, and Yuxiu understood it.
He couldn't help but sneer. These people were all plotting against their master, yet they seemed to think that their master was incompetent. They all thought that the prince didn't care about their master, yet they wanted to use their master to influence the prince. They were all very calculating and thought themselves ridiculous.
"Master, then we will wait for her letter. I hope this letter is well written and can be used by you."
"It should be of some use!" Qu Moying curled her lips. She was really looking forward to Liu Lanxin's letter. Having such an opportunity would be good for both Liu Lanxin and King Jing.
The carriage was not going back to the King of England's Palace. Important news had come from Yuejinge before, and she had to go and take a look.
The carriage stopped in front of Yueyi Pavilion. Qu Moying got off the carriage and went in. Aunt Yang came over after hearing the sound and led Qu Moying to the private room upstairs.
After sitting down again, he reported the matters of Yuejin Pavilion. Manager Zhang's side was not as convenient as here, so he had asked Aunt Yang to report the matters.
After hearing what Aunt Yang said, Qu Moying couldn't hide his excitement: "Did you really see someone?"
"It's true. It's the person you asked someone to pay attention to before. The clerk saw that woman again. She was a young lady who looked very thin and wore a veil. But she took off the earrings when she tried them on, and then put them on again. The clerks have all seen the picture you drew before, Master."
Aunt Yang said.
"Are you from the capital?" Qu Moying suppressed the excitement in his heart, put his hand on the corner of the table, and almost stood up.
"Yes, he is from the capital. His age and accent match, but his surname is wrong." Aunt Yang said hesitantly.
"What's your last name?"
"Last name: Mo! I heard from the clerk. When the clerk saw that this lady was the woman in your painting, he specifically asked about her last name. He heard that it was a lady surnamed Mo, which didn't fit. As for the other information, he didn't ask, but there is one thing... I feel... I feel that it is a little... hard to say..."
"Is there something else wrong?" Qu Moying asked in surprise. How could she not be excited to hear news about her sister again? But she was also afraid that it would be a false alarm in the end.
"Yes, there are some. The young lady's hand seems to be a little unwell... I don't know if she is sick or injured." Aunt Yang said.
"Which hand?" Qu Moying asked anxiously.
"The left hand, it looks like there's something wrong with the left hand. The waiter said that the lady's left hand hardly moves." Aunt Yang said.
Left hand
Injured left hand
Ji Youran said that the bracelet she wore was taken off her sister’s hand, and she said that she cut off her sister’s hand. Is that the reason
My sister wears the bracelet on her left hand.
"What happened next?"
"Then she disappeared. The clerk was originally keeping an eye on her, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye. By the time the clerk realized what was happening and ran out of the door, the carriage had already sped away. There was no marking on the carriage, and it looked like it was heading out of the city. The clerk couldn't catch up with her for a while."
So my sister is out of town now
Qu Moying had already gone to the Ministry of Justice to urge the matter again and again, and the Ministry of Justice is indeed handling the matter. Could it be that my sister didn't know about it, so she didn't respond to the government's request
My heart aches when I think about it, but I am also happy at the same time. As long as my sister is okay and alive, everything is fine.
This was the best good news she had heard in a long time.
"Next time, you should come again. If you see her again, you must not lose her again. Prepare a carriage at Yuejin Pavilion and let Manager Zhang give the order that whoever can find the residence of this woman will be rewarded handsomely." Qu Moying steadied himself and spoke.
"Yes, I will give the instructions soon." Aunt Yang said hurriedly.
Although she didn't know who this woman was, she must be no ordinary person to be valued by her master. She was lost this time because no one thought she would appear again and no one took her seriously. But it's different now. There has been a second time, and there will definitely be a third time.
The first time was because of custom-made jewelry, and now it’s because of choosing jewelry. It can be seen that she has a special liking for Yuejinge. Is it because of her master
No
Regardless of the reason, the possibility of this lady appearing is still very high...
The village is spacious with a wide road in the middle.
Compared with other manors around, this one looks more like a villa, and is built bigger, wider, and more solid.
An ordinary carriage came over, crossed the wide road in the middle, and stopped in front of the house in the middle.
Two maids came out of the carriage, and then a young lady in plain white clothes came out. She was not very old, about eleven or twelve years old, thin and weak, and looked a little fragile. The plain white clothes made her look even more fragile.
"Miss, you are back. Madam has asked you several times." A maid came out in a hurry and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the young lady getting off the carriage. "You are back at last."
"Didn't mother take medicine?" The young lady asked softly with some worry on her face.
"No, I heard that you haven't come back yet, and you just don't want to take the medicine. We have tried everything but it's useless." The old woman was so anxious that she wanted to wipe her sweat. The lady was angry again, and they couldn't persuade her. They could only put their hopes on the young lady. Fortunately, the young lady is back now.
"Is mother missing brother again?" the young lady asked, lifting the hem of her skirt slightly with her right hand and walking inside.
"That's right and that's not right." The maid said with a smile, "At first she said she missed the prince, but then she asked when the young lady would be back. Madam was worried that something happened to the young lady, so she sent someone to ask again after a while, but she just refused to take the medicine. We servants really have no way to deal with it."
"Mother is not in good health, and father and elder brother are not in the capital, so she must be feeling unhappy. Please prepare a new dose of medicine and I will go and persuade mother to take it." The young lady sighed and looked up at the big house in front of her. Although this is a farm outside the city, her mother has lived here for so many years, and it is actually not inferior to the house in the capital.
But this house also has its bad points, that is, there is no hot spring. I heard that there are several places with hot springs outside the city, but the houses with hot springs are said to belong to the royal family. Even my father did not get one. It would be better if my mother's health could cooperate with the hot springs. However, the doctor also said that the main reason for my mother's illness over the years is actually heart disease.
This mental illness is the most difficult to cure.
"My daughter is back. Is everything okay?" A beautiful middle-aged woman was sitting on a chair in the main room. She looked a little anxious when she saw her daughter come in.
She looked her daughter up and down with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and only heaved a sigh of relief when she found that she was fine. A smile flashed across her cunning eyebrows. If one only looked at her appearance, she could even be called stunningly beautiful, except that she was a little older and looked a little weaker.
The pale face and pale lips showed that he was a patient who had been ill for a long time. His eyes, which were once bright and beautiful, had lost some of their color, making people feel more pity for him.
The woman stepped forward and saluted: "Mother, I'm fine, don't worry."
Madam pulled her daughter up and asked her to sit down on a chair beside her. Then she said softly, "If there is nothing wrong, don't go out. Your father and elder brother are not in the capital now. If something happens, I am afraid I will not be able to protect you."
"Don't worry, mother. I'm just going to take a look. Nothing will happen." The woman said in a soft and gentle voice.
"Don't go now, don't go anywhere. You can check your life experience when you have a chance in the future. Wait for your father and your eldest brother to come back." The lady comforted her.
