With my nanny mediating, the matter became much easier.
After chatting with the lady for a while, Qu Moying finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she gradually accepted this fact.
If the old lady really couldn't bear it, she could only think of another way. Fortunately, the old lady must have been disappointed with this step-father for a long time. Although she couldn't accept it for a while, she can calm down now. She even pays attention to Qu Moying's affairs and asks her to be careful in the King of England's mansion and not let the King of England dislike her because of her step-father's affairs.
Qu Moying agreed obediently, and then left with his people.
My nanny sent her to the door of the mansion on behalf of the lady. Along the way, Qu Moying repeatedly reminded my nanny to pay more attention to the lady's health and report to the King of England's palace immediately if anything happened.
Seeing that Qu Moying cared so much about the lady, Wu Ma's eyes turned red. She nodded repeatedly and wiped away her tears secretly. She never expected that the fourth young lady, who was initially thrown into the farm to fend for herself, was the most filial.
After leaving Qu's Mansion, the carriage went straight to the farm outside the city.
When they arrived at the manor and had just sat down for a while, they heard outside say that the young lady from Duke Yu's mansion had arrived, and Qu Moying immediately asked her to come in.
When Ji Yanyue entered, she wanted to bow to Qu Moying first, but Qu Moying asked her to skip it.
"Cousin, my mother heard that you were out of town, so she asked me to come over and ask you if she can come over?" Ji Yanyue said helplessly as soon as she sat down.
The matter between the two mansions should not be made public before Duke Yu returns, for fear that another unexpected event would occur. Qu Moying told the wife of Duke Yu to continue recuperating on the farm as before.
Helplessly, after Lady Yuguo learned the news about her daughter, she could no longer sit still. She only regretted that she had been ill for so many years. Now she wanted to go to the Prince of Ying's Palace in the capital, but she had no reason to do so, which was not convenient and would arouse suspicion. She was afraid that something bad would happen to her daughter, so she could only endure it on her own.
"Tell mother not to worry, we will meet again someday." Qu Moying shook his hand.
"Mother actually knew about it, but...she just couldn't help it, so she sent me to come and see my cousin so that she could talk to her when she got back." Ji Yanyue sighed and expressed deep sympathy for her cousin's life experience.
But no matter whether she was her cousin or the non-blood-related sister, the British princess in front of her gave her the feeling of her own sister.
This is also the reason why Ji Yanyue didn't feel unfamiliar even after knowing Qu Moying's background.
For some reason, she felt that the person in front of her was her sister.
"I just brought some homemade scented tea from the mansion. You can take some to mother later." Qu Moying also understood what Lady Yuguogong meant and said with a smile.
"Great, with this thing, mother will definitely not be so anxious." Ji Yanyue agreed happily.
"Cousin, you know that there was a young lady living in the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion... She looked like your daughter, but that was a few years ago." After talking about the wife of Duke Yu, Qu Moying's face darkened and he said.
"A woman who looks like my sister?" Ji Yanyue rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and said affirmatively, "Yes... there is one."
"Have you seen it?" Qu Moying was surprised.
"I have seen her, but I only saw her from a distance and thought she looked like my sister. I thought she was my sister, but when I walked over she was gone. I asked a man next to me,
Huan, said she was a relative of ours, staying here temporarily, and she seemed to be from the second house, so I didn’t take it seriously.”
Ji Yanyue thought about it again and said.
At that time, I just glanced at her accidentally. From a distance, she looked very much like my sister, but I didn't see her when I got closer. I felt that it was impossible for her to really look like my sister. Maybe I was just standing far away and couldn't see clearly.
My elder sister always told me not to meddle in the affairs of the second wife, saying that I was just a child and knew nothing. If I didn't manage it well, the aunt of the second wife would be unhappy, and then the matter would be reported to my grandmother, and my family would definitely suffer. Even when playing with the second brother Ji, my elder sister told me to be careful.
"Then you didn't tell... your cousin?"
"No, it wasn't a big deal. I later heard from my second brother that after that woman entered the mansion, she stayed at home and rarely went out. She didn't even know what she looked like. Only the people who took care of her knew. They also said that she was in poor health and was afraid that she had caught a cold. In short, she was very weak."
Ji Yanyue explained.
Hearing that there was such a woman, Ji Yanyue was curious, but she would not really peek at her.
She is the second daughter of the Ling Anbo Mansion. Although she is not as well-educated as her elder sister, she was taught very strictly and would never do such a sneaky thing.
"Why did my cousin suddenly ask about her? It's been so long since this happened." Ji Yanyue asked in confusion. When this happened, this cousin was still at the farm, right? How could she know about such a trivial matter
"This woman... is unusual. I just found out about her. Can you think of anything else you've forgotten? It's about this woman."
Qu Moying frowned slightly.
"This... let me think about it." Seeing that she looked heavy-hearted, Ji Yanyue said.
Qu Moying nodded, picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip, then slowly put it down, looking at Ji Yanyue thoughtfully. No matter how you looked at it, Lady Yuan's affairs must have been related to Ji Hanyue at the time, but she knew nothing about it.
"Oh, yes... When she came, it seemed that she was brought here by someone. I heard that it was brought here by a nun. This was something that a maidservant of mine got the news by chance and told me about it as a joke."
Ji Yanyue's eyes lit up and she remembered something.
Female nun? What appeared in Qu Moying's mind was Qingyun Temple.
It’s no wonder that she thought of Qingyun Temple. Among all the nuns, isn’t Qingyun Temple the most powerful
"It is said that the young lady of that relative's family was a nun in the past. I don't know if she was a nun in the past. When she came, there was also a nun there. I thought it was a joke at the time and didn't take it seriously. But the nanny kept saying it was true." Ji Yanyue said.
It was sent by the nun - stayed in the mansion - and later - entered the palace - and looked like myself in the previous life.
My father probably wasn't aware of this matter. At that time, the inner courtyard was under the management of the Xiao family. If there was something wrong, it must have been related to the Xiao family.
After blinking his long eyes, he had already made up his mind. Xiao was crazy, not dead. In this case, there was always some information he could ask.
She had a feeling that Xiao should know about this matter.
As for the direction of the female crown, if it is really related to the female crown, Qu Moying has only one direction in his mind, Qingyun Temple. Not to mention other people in Qingyun Temple, Ning Yin Zhenren of Qingyun Temple would send some things from time to time. Although they are not valuable, they make people feel that they are very knowledgeable and considerate. He is also the one who has the most contact with Qu Moying.
People.
Qu Moying's character was already filled with such great hatred that if it weren't for Master Ning Yin's repeated initiatives, she wouldn't have kept in touch with him so often.
Master Ning Yin had never appeared in public before. When I first met him, he seemed to be an elegant and refined person. He was the kind of person who could be calm and endure loneliness. How come we hit it off at first sight
Besides, there is also the Master of Qingyun Temple. There are some things here that make Qu Moying suspicious. And now it is actually related to Concubine Yuan, which means the water here is even deeper.
The more she looked into some things, the more frightened she became.
After giving Ji Yanyue a few more instructions, Qu Moying let Ji Yanyue go back. Now that her sister had been found, she was not in a hurry to go to the Ministry of Justice to clear her name. It would be best for Yanyue to stay until the end, so there was no rush.
In my previous life, when I didn’t know the truth, I thought that what I saw was everything. Now I realize that underneath those layers of so-called truth, there are even more bloody facts…
Ling Anbo Mansion
Ji Youran's father Ji Yongan and her brother Ji Yuanxing were both there. After listening to a maid's report, they said, "Tell your master that this is how it should be done!"
The old woman retreated.
"Father..." Ji Yuanxing said dissatisfiedly.
Ji Yongan glared, "Is it still useful for you to say this at this time? If it was useful, how could your sister end up like this?"
"But father..." Ji Yuanxing wanted to argue.
Ji Yongan waved his hand gloomily: "It's decided. Your sister has agreed. What else do you want? If it weren't for them, look at what you are now. Even the Xiao family looks down on you and cancels the engagement. Tell me... Tell me what else you can do."
Ji Yongan scolded.
Xiao Haitang actually found an excuse on him and broke off the engagement with him. Ji Yuanxing could never have imagined this. He had always looked down on Xiao Haitang and felt that she was not worthy of him, but now she had broken off the engagement with him. Seeing her quickly marrying someone else, Ji Yuanxing was filled with hatred.
He could give up Xiao Haitang, but why did that bitch Xiao Haitang dare to cancel the engagement
"Father... I will definitely teach her a lesson." Ji Yuanxing said hatefully.
"Okay, let's not talk about these trivial things for now. Since You Ran thinks the same way, you shouldn't refuse anymore. This is good for you. Don't you want everything in the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion in the future?" Seeing that his son still refused to give in, Ji Yongan said unhappily.
"What are you afraid of? Just kill... him. Could it be that father has other descendants?" Ji Yuanxing said arrogantly.
Ji Yongan slammed the table hard, and lowered his voice unconsciously, "Do you think Yuan Hai is still the same Yuan Hai who let you bully him before? Even if you want to see him now, it's not easy. You are not allowed to fight there. Besides, if you really fight... you may not be able to hold on. You still need someone to support you behind the scenes."
Not saying he was against it, but just saying that there was no one behind him now, and that he might not necessarily gain anything if he took action. Ji Yongan's words were full of implications, and Ji Yuanxing was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Father, I will listen to you and do as you say."
Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed the only chance for their second branch to turn things around. Ji Yongan never thought that one day their first branch would be like a rat crossing the street, everyone would shout and beat them, and live in such a miserable state...
