Concubine He's words made people doubt Ji Hanyue's wedding.
If Qu Moying had any doubt at all, he would have added two points at this time.
Concubine He did not keep them for long. After talking to them for a few words, she sent the two of them out.
Coincidentally, the two met Liu Jingyu at the palace gate.
Both parties saluted with a smile, and then got on their own carriages. They first traveled together, and then went home separately. It looked very harmonious. If you only looked at the surface, you would never know that the three of them came to the palace to cause the previous farce and to sue the Queen.
When Qu Moying returned home, the chaos outside had settled down.
She actually met Qu Zhizhen at the Madam's place. When he heard that she and Liu Lanxin had entered the palace, Qu Zhizhen's face was not good. He frowned tightly and scolded: "What nonsense, such a small matter, how could it be brought to the Queen Mother, and finally Concubine He was involved. You are different from the two of them."
"My daughter understands!" Qu Moying said softly without refutation. She raised her watery eyes with some worry, "What's going on outside? Have you found the person now? Who is doing this and causing such a big commotion?"
"No one was found." Qu Zhizhen pressed his brow and said.
He also received the news and sent people to check. He arrived a little late. The dowry team had been reorganized and set off for the East Palace. There were many more guards and guardians on both sides, and the idle people were asked to step aside and make way for the main road in the middle to avoid the previous situation from happening again.
"How could such a thing happen? Why would anyone do such a treasonous thing for no reason?" The lady was also very surprised.
"I don't know who he is, but his behavior... is really childish." Qu Zhizhen said. In his opinion, this behavior was really childish. If they really wanted to deal with the prince, wouldn't it be a way to alert the enemy now
The prince is now in the Eastern Palace, and his dowry has been damaged, which only hurts his face a little.
"The prince's wedding was previously an assassination attempt, and now it's like this... Could it be..." The old lady murmured. When she got to this point, she immediately knew something was wrong and quickly stopped talking. She coughed twice before saying, "Ying girl, you'd better not go out again. You need to be more careful at a time like this. How did you get bumped into there today?"
"I don't know either. It was Miss Liu who booked the private room. Later, it was Miss Liu who took me to the palace to complain to the Empress." Qu Moying naturally would not take the blame on himself, and this was also the truth.
Before she could say anything, she was taken into the palace by Liu Lanxin.
Qu Zhizhen's brows furrowed even more tightly: "In the future, you'd better have less contact with this Miss Liu... This Miss Liu doesn't look like a simple person."
"Father, I know, but she... deliberately brought up the matter of my third sister." Qu Moying smiled bitterly, "It would be embarrassing if I didn't go."
"Why did she mention your third sister?" Qu Zhizhen immediately perked up and looked at Qu Moying. After all, she was his daughter who was raised in the palm of his hand.
Qu Moying shook her head. "I don't know either. She said some ambiguous words. I don't understand what she meant. Maybe she thinks that she will be the Princess of Jing in the future, so we have to respect her!"
Qu Moying unceremoniously put all the blame on Liu Lanxin.
"This is outrageous!" Qu Zhizhen stood up, walked around the room twice with his hands behind his back, his face full of anger.
"Okay, over there
"
After what happened at the Liu Mansion, Qu Qiuyan also sent someone over to deliver gifts, but Qu Moying confiscated them and returned them directly.
He gave it to Qu Moying twice more after that, but Qu Moying still refused to accept it and returned the gift.
"No reward without merit." Speaking of Qu Qiuyan, Qu Moying became a little indifferent. His watery eyes swept across Qu Zhizhen's face, and seeing that Qu Qiuyan had become a concubine, this cheap father seemed to be tempted again.
"How can you not receive a reward without merit? Even if you and your third sister have a bad relationship, to outsiders you always look like one and the same, like real sisters."
Qu Zhizhen said.
The lady's face darkened and she looked at her son angrily. When she heard this, she knew what her son was trying to figure out again.
It's really infuriating.
"Father, you know best what my relationship with my third sister is. If I get along with her, what will happen to my mother in the afterlife? People are close to each other, so how can my third sister be as close to my mother as she is to me? My third sister should think the same way. Who can be closer to me than our own parents?"
Qu Moying said lightly, and did not hide her dislike for Qu Qiuyan in front of Qu Zhizhen.
This is a mess, and no one is innocent. Although what happened back then happened between the Yu and Yue families, people are close or distant relatives, and from the perspective of one's biological mother, no one can say that they are wrong.
"What happened back then is all in the past. Yu is dead now. Not only is Yu dead, but the Yu family is gone now. Even if you owed your mother money back then, it's all in the past. Yan'er was still young at that time." Qu Zhizhen said unhappily, feeling that he had lost magnanimity with his youngest daughter.
After all, she grew up in a manor, so her temperament is much weaker than Yan's. She received too little education when she was young, and did not let her understand that family grudges are sometimes more important than personal grudges.
These words made Qu Moying sneer. It sounded easy, but it goes without saying that Qu Qiuyan must have made some moves to make Qu Zhizhen agree. Was Qu Zhizhen trying to favor Qu Qiuyan again
She never cared who Qu Zhizhen favored, he was just a cheap father.
But she was also unwilling to let Qu Qiuyan step on her to get to the top. While taking advantage of her position as the future Princess of England to gain benefits, she also did not forget to step on her at the critical moment, intending to crush her to death on the spot.
Isn’t this what happened in the Liu Mansion
"Father, you can check into the affairs of the Liu Mansion. My third sister has put in a lot of effort in this. If you think this is a way to show sisterhood, then I can do it too." Qu Moying said indifferently, her watery eyes full of sadness under her long eyelashes.
It is impossible for Qu Zhizhen to know nothing about the affairs of the Liu Mansion. He was involved in it at the beginning, and Qu Qiuyan was also involved. Later, because Prince Jing left in a hurry and Fourth Miss He took the most direct blame, he knew relatively less about other people's affairs. However, Qu Qiuyan said a lot of specious words at the time.
After hearing what happened, Qu Zhizhen became very annoyed. He looked up at his little daughter. He really couldn't like her. He always felt that she was incompatible with him. For every word he said, she would retort him three times. It turned out that she was not taught well when she was young. Look at what she said. Why is she so rude
He waved his hand and said, "Just keep your own affairs in mind. It's not for others, but for yourselves. If you help each other in the future, you will definitely get the greatest benefit. In the future, maybe because of your third sister, your descendants will be granted titles and become prime ministers!"
Qu Moying raised the corners of his lips slightly and smiled sternly. So he has to help King Jing seize the throne
