After reading the letter, put it down.
Madam Qi wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Madam?" a maid whispered.
"Take this letter and show it to the old Duke." The lady said with a tired look on her face. Although she knew that her old master was unwilling to help, she would still help to deliver the letter.
It is actually very good to have such an opportunity. Liu Borui has been punished before. We can't keep holding on to it just because of his poor personal ethics!
If we can help him and let him become the Minister of Works again, it will also be of great benefit to that girl Jingyu.
"Madam, the old master won't help." said the old woman. She had just been standing behind the Madam and had taken a few glances at the letter. She knew that this was a letter from the son-in-law to the old master, and it was talking about official positions.
The old master has offended everyone in the Liu family, and the Duke of Qi's Mansion all knows about this. Now that the son-in-law is talking about reinstating him, the old master will definitely not want to do so.
"Then he has to read it. Whether he helps or not, he has to read the letter." The lady sighed and shook her hand helplessly. "I know he has a knot in his heart... But no matter how knot he has, he can't be blamed for the Crown Princess's affairs. We can't let the Crown Princess..."
The lady paused for a moment and didn't intend to continue.
There are some things that cannot be told even to confidants because they are too important.
"Yes, Madam." Although the old woman didn't understand, she didn't dare to ask more.
A lot of things happened in the mansion before. The old master had a bad temper and even the old lady was scolded. It would be better for a servant like her to speak less.
Even if there are any secrets, it is not something that people like them should know.
"Ask the second young master to come over. I have something to ask him." The old lady said to another maid. She lived deep in the inner courtyard and didn't know what was happening outside. She couldn't ask the old man, and her son might not come either. So she might as well ask her second grandson.
The second grandson has always been close to Jingyu, and is more suitable than the others. The lady has no other choice but to do this. There is basically no hope with the old man, and she can only help to deliver a letter. She can't even say a few words of thanks, or it will make the old man angry again.
You can think of some solutions and find some help, but you also have to find out the truth about the matter.
What the lady wants to do now is to use her own abilities. If she can help, she will help. If she really can't help, there is nothing she can do. At least Jingyu can explain it to herself. Although she is the Crown Princess now, I heard that she is not having a good life. The Crown Prince can't forget the former Crown Princess and only thinks about her, and ignores his own granddaughter.
She can regard this daughter as having been raised in vain, but her granddaughter is still good. She can't give up her granddaughter. After all, she raised her since she was a child, and the feelings she has for her are not comparable to those of others.
Thinking of this, Madam Qi sighed heavily and put her hand on her head. She didn't know when she had a headache, and it hurt again.
Seeing this, a maid behind her hurried forward and began to massage her gently.
The old woman who took over the matter retreated quietly...
"Master Ning Yin?" Yu Chun could hardly believe his ears. He repeated the sentence and exclaimed in surprise.
Qu Moying smiled slightly and said calmly: "Invite her to Youranju."
Yuxiu stepped back.
"Master, what is Master Ning Yin doing here? She is not a
"Are you an outsider? Why did you come here on purpose? This...isn't this too weird?"
Yuchun asked Qu Moying hurriedly.
Qu Moying looked out the window thoughtfully. She was also wondering why Master Ning Yin suddenly came to her house. However, she believed that she must have a very legitimate reason to come to her house openly.
The so-called Leisurely Residence is actually a small flower hall, located in a waterside attic in the garden. The platform in front of the second floor is a semi-open flower hall, which is where Qu Moying likes to come. Here she can enjoy the scenery while reading. There is also her piano platform next to it, which is also a very private place.
When Qu Moying came over, Master Ning Yin was already waiting there. Seeing Qu Moying going upstairs, Master Ning Yin stood up and bowed with a smile: "Greetings, Princess Ying."
Qu Moying smiled and said, "You are too polite, Master. We have been friends since we were little, so there is no need to be so polite."
"The more courtesy, the less blame it will be. But if the princess really doesn't blame it, Ning Yin will not be polite." Master Ning Yin also looked very casual. His eyes slid across Qu Moying's face calmly, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes involuntarily.
She had seen many beauties. When the master of Qingyun Temple interacted with some nobles in the past, although she did not show up in person, she could always watch from behind.
She was proud of her extraordinary beauty, and with the clothes she wore, she looked even more beautiful than those noble ladies.
Seeing Qu Moying again, I couldn't help but sigh secretly. Fortunately, everyone in the world likes beauty and regards beauty as the best. If such exquisiteness and tenderness are the best, then there is really no need for me to compare.
The servant brought tea, Qu Moying took a sip, leaned back, and looked relaxed, as if he was meeting an old friend and didn't need to be too formal.
"Is there something important going on, Master?"
"Ning Yin would not dare to enter the palace of the princess unless she had something to do." Zhenren Ning Yin smiled and took out something from her arms, pushed it in front of Qu Moying, and coughed softly. Her face was a little pale and looked a little sick. "Princess, please look."
What was pushed across the table was a purse, an old and faded purse, from which one could vaguely tell that the material used was good.
"What... is this?" Qu Moying asked in surprise.
"Please look, Princess." Master Ning Yin said.
Qu Moying picked up the purse and took a look at it. The opening of the purse was still sealed, and there was a delicate flower embroidered on it. Even though there were some hooks and the edges of the flower were a little blurred, it was still possible to tell that the embroidery was of excellent quality.
There was a word embroidered on the edge of the purse.
Qu Moying came closer, took a closer look, and the smile on his face faded.
A word "Yue".
It looked very familiar. She had seen it before. From time to time, there would be such a mark on the things left by her mother. And what was different from the usual ones was that the word "越" was accompanied by two small leaves. It looked more interesting than ordinary words. This word was also different from ordinary words. At just one glance, Qu Moying knew that this was the purse left by her mother.
The purse has no lock, and it looks torn inside, so it must have been there for at least ten years...
"What is this?" Qu Moying raised his head and looked at Master Ning Yin and asked.
"This should be what Madam Qu left behind, right?" Master Ning Yin asked in a gentle voice.
"It's my mother's relic, how come it's in your hands?" Qu Moying frowned.
“It turns out it’s really
Left by Madam Qu Er. "Zhenren Ning Yin's originally calm face became excited, and there was a bit of inexplicable sadness in his eyes. "I had been guessing before, but I didn't dare to be sure. It was only when the master saw Ning Yin always cared about this purse that he found out about it and asked Ning Yin about it. He said to Ning Yin... Whether it is true or not, only after confirming it can we find the benefactor. "
"Benefactor?" Qu Moying raised his eyes slightly.
"Yes, he is my benefactor." Master Ning Yin said with a wry smile, "Ning Yin ended up in Qingyun Temple because of something that happened to her. Many people know this, but in fact, before this incident, Ning Yin met a lady. If it weren't for this lady, Ning Yin would probably have died before ending up in Qingyun Temple."
"It's just that Ning Yin was still young at the time and didn't recognize people very well. There was only an old servant who protected Ning Yin. Later, the old servant died and only told one thing, saying that Ning Yin and the old servant were almost sold. Fortunately, they met this lady, who took out money from her purse to save Ning Yin and the old servant. Before the old servant died, he repeatedly told Ning Yin to find this lady to repay her kindness. But when Ning Yin grew up and asked about the ladies surnamed Yue in the capital, he found that none of them was her."
Master Ning Yin explained the matter in detail.
After he finished speaking, he sighed again, "Who can remember the Second Madam Qu... She passed away a long time ago. People in the capital only say that the Second Madam Qu's surname was Yu. No one remembers that the Second Madam Qu's surname was Yue."
Perhaps thinking of her old benefactor, Ning Yinzhen's eyes turned red. Her gaze fell silently on the purse with tears in the corners of her eyes.
Qu Moying's gaze fell on the purse again, and her eyes became silent under her long eyelashes. The purse in her hand was an old thing left by her biological mother, and anyone would feel sad.
“Princess Ying, Madam Qu is no longer with us. From now on… if there is any need for Ning Yin, please let me know. Even if it costs Ning Yin’s life, she will do it without hesitation.” Master Ning Yin coughed twice, turned her head to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and when she looked up again, she was smiling slightly.
"I finally found my benefactor's daughter. It turns out she is Princess Ying. The fate between people is indeed hard to explain. The person who saved Ning Yin turned out to be Princess Ying's biological mother. No wonder Ning Yin and Princess Ying get along so well. This is destined by God. Ning Yin... Ning Yin... has no regrets in this life."
Zhenren Ning Yin stood up and wanted to salute Qu Moying again. This time it was because of Xiao Yue. Qu Moying did not refuse and accepted her salute.
Yuchun was very considerate and gave Master Ning Yin a hand, helping her sit down on the stool again.
"Is the Master sick?" Qu Moying suppressed the pain in his eyes and looked at Master Ning Yin.
"It's nothing, I just caught a cold. Originally, Ning Yin shouldn't have come to the mansion at this time, for fear of bringing illness to the princess. It's just... it's just that Ning Yin was eager to know the truth of this matter. Since the master of the temple said so, Ning Yin also thought it might be true, so I hurriedly came here. I hope the princess will forgive me for my impoliteness."
"You are too polite, sir. If it were me... I would also check if I encountered such a thing. Since you are here and you are not feeling well, please let the doctor take a look. It so happens that there is an imperial physician in the mansion." Qu Moying turned sideways and glanced at Yuxiu.
Yuxiu understood and went out to ask the imperial physician.
"This... isn't good. Ning Yin's health is nothing." Master Ning Yin shook his head, his face becoming paler and paler. It was obvious that his health was too poor.
Qu Moying did not give her a chance to be polite again. The other person came from so far away just to talk about such a connection, there was no way he could let him leave while being sick.
