There is another possibility, which Qu Moying is not sure about.
It's not that I'm not sure about the person, but I'm really not sure that Ji Youran can play such a big role, so I asked Pei Luoan to hide her secretly. It seems that her value is really extraordinary!
"Master, do you need to investigate further?" Yuxiu asked, helping Qu Moying to the pavilion.
Qu Moying sat down. The weather was getting hotter. After walking such a short distance, he already felt a little dry. Sitting down in the pavilion, he felt a little cooler.
Yuxiu stood aside, fanning Qu Moying gently, and continued, "The Eastern Palace has been investigating a lot recently. We've been to the Dali Temple, the Western Prison, and the Ministry of Justice. I heard that it's because the Eastern Palace has been in trouble all the time. Someone died before, and now another one has died, and she used to be a concubine of the Eastern Palace."
"No need to move for now, just wait. Xiefeng's family... can think of a solution." Qu Moying leaned against the fence of the pavilion, looking at the rockery and flowing water outside, and said.
"Xie Feng's family? I heard that her mother is greedy for money. I checked it out before. When she was with Ling Anbo, she made a lot of money from him." Yu Xiu curled her lips and said, "I also heard that her family was saved by the Crown Princess. I didn't expect that they turned out to be a family of ungrateful people in the end..."
Yuxiu's voice was right beside her ear, with a hint of nagging in it. A hint of coldness flashed across Qu Moying's eyes.
Xie Feng's family had offended the Xiao family before, and they were almost sold out. They were saved by Ji Hanyue. Now it seems that this may not be so true.
Xie Feng was Ji Hanyue's confidant, and seeing that she was so worried about her family's affairs, Ji Hanyue redeemed her family. After that, she did some small business outside and never returned to Ling Anbo's Mansion.
"Is her family still doing business now?" Qu Moying asked. She had not paid attention to the news that Yuxiu had found out before, and did not want to pay too much attention to Xie Feng.
"She is still doing business, and her business is not small. She has a shop. I have inquired about it. It is either rented or owned by her family. Her eldest brother has also married a wife. He has two houses. The open house is not big, and the other one is not open to the public but is quite large. It is not something that an ordinary maid can own."
Yuxiu specifically asked about it.
Xie Feng has always been a dishonest person. Some of the things she did were for Ji Youran, and some of them were stolen by her.
There is quite a lot of wealth around me.
Adding the reward from Ji Hanyue, Xie Feng's wealth would not be small. However, considering how powerful her mother was, Xie Feng would not be able to keep much.
"Think of a way to make their shop encounter some difficulties." Qu Moying smiled. This maid had colluded with Ji Youran a long time ago, and now she has abandoned Ji Youran.
There are some things that she can't find Ji Youran, but she can find Xie Feng, and she wants to ask him in person.
Xie Feng is now in a state of panic, which is good. Only at this time can the maid's mouth be pried open. If Ji Youran was still there, Xie Feng would definitely not speak first...
"Master, I understand." Yu Xiu understood, "What about Miss Tong? The message from the gate was that they were looking for Yu Dong, and they were looking for her urgently. The message came on the day you got into trouble."
Thinking of this seemingly reserved Miss Tong, the former eldest daughter of the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion, Yuxiu really looked down on her. On the one hand, she acted as if she was unwilling to get involved with the prince and unwilling to implicate the prince, and on the other hand, she acted as if she would be dead if she left the prince.
This
Under such circumstances, any man who still has some compassion will accept the woman. If he was still feeling resentful at the beginning, this woman might come into the house, saying no and no in a coquettish voice, but in fact she is stretching her hands longer than anyone else, which is really disgusting. Yuxiu herself has a more direct personality and can't stand women like this the most.
However, Miss Tong was too self-righteous. She thought that the prince had been obsessed with her for so many years. However, she did not expect that the prince did not even think of the maid she sent, let alone take her to heart. This kind of person is self-indulgent, and is actually so despicable that it is outrageous.
"Then let Yudong go and take a look. It's been a long time since we last went there. It's possible that Miss Tong would miss Yudong." Qu Moying joked with a smile.
"Bring some more medicine. It would be insincere to come here empty-handed."
"Master, what do you think this Miss Tong is after?" Yu Xiu answered and then asked. She really didn't understand. From the look of this Miss Tong, she seemed to think she had her own prince in her hands. So why had she not shown up for so many years? Since she hadn't shown up for so many years, and now she showed up again, her purpose was a bit interesting.
"Let's wait and see! She's not in a hurry, and neither are we." Qu Moying shook her head. She couldn't figure it out for a moment, but since Miss Tong couldn't help but show up, she knew she really couldn't wait...
She seems to be in the light, but in fact she is in the dark. Miss Tong is the opposite of her. Whether this play will continue depends on what Miss Tong means. She is just a supporting role...
"The Princess of England hasn't been divorced?" Tong Yuzhen said softly, and it sounded more like she was talking to herself.
The maid brought the tea and stepped aside, asking worriedly, "Miss, do you think the King of England really likes this Queen of England?"
She had been in the British palace for some time and had seen the King of England bringing the British Princess over. She always felt that it was not as the young lady said, but she also didn't think that the King of England really liked the British Princess.
"If he really liked her, he wouldn't have come to the Qu Mansion and smashed it. He would not only smash the Qu Mansion, but also the reputation of the Qu Mansion and the reputation of Princess Ying. After all, this is Princess Ying's family home. Even if he doesn't want to have any contact with her now because he's angry, he can't always not have any contact with her, right?"
Tong Yuzhen shook her head. She didn't believe it. She picked up the tea on the table, skimmed off the foam, drank a sip elegantly, and then put it down. "If you really want to consider Princess Ying, you have to swallow your anger. At worst, you can only make trouble behind closed doors."
After hearing her say this, the maid suddenly remembered an old incident, "Miss, I remember now, that time when the old Duke seemed to want to find you a wife, the King of England went over and said a few words, and although he left with an unchanging expression, he didn't do anything to the old Duke in the end, and was very forbearing. I have never heard that His Royal Highness the King of England has been forbearing for anyone, except for you, Miss."
Tong Yuzhen blushed and bit her lip. Of course she remembered this.
This is what she asked her father to test the waters. Sure enough, the King of England got angry. Although he didn't ask him about this matter again, his meaning was very clear. Besides, apart from herself, who else could get close to the King of England and talk to him? For her sake, the King of England even took such a big risk and let her go.
There were so many things, Tong Yuzhen vaguely felt as if everything was right in front of her, but when she thought of herself now, she sighed heavily in her heart.
She is no longer the same person she was before. If possible, she should have married into the British palace earlier, and she can only be the British princess now.
Unfortunately, she was still
I was too young and didn't know how to hold the King of England tightly in my hands. It's a pity...
"Why hasn't the maid named Yudong come for a few days?" Tong Yuzhen asked, suppressing her worries and looking out the window.
She didn't want to consider the past for the time being. She just wanted to get close to the King of England. She believed that the King of England was the same. She was afraid that this time he was so angry just to prepare for her to enter the King of England's palace.
Thinking of this, her pretty face became even more flushed.
Rekindling the old relationship... maybe it's a good thing, but I don't know if the other party is willing to let go...
"I don't know if it's because there are so many things going on in the Prince of England's palace recently that a maid like her can't come out. Or maybe His Royal Highness the King of England feels that this is not a good time and is afraid of being discovered."
The maid also looked out the window, fearing that her mistress would be worried, so she comforted her.
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Then they saw the maid outside going to open the door. When the door opened, the maid Yudong came in.
The master and servant looked at each other and both showed joy.
Although Tong Yuzhen felt that this matter was a sure thing, she still breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was not wrong. As long as the King of England knew her news, he would definitely take it to heart.
Yu Dong came to deliver medicine. After entering the room, she bowed to Tong Yuzhen first, then placed the medicine she brought on the table. "Miss Tong, this is what our master asked me to bring. Miss Tong is not in good health, so you should take some medicine to recuperate. The master thinks that you should have used up the medicine you took before, so he asked the imperial physician to prescribe a few more prescriptions and sent them to you."
"Thank your master for me, but with my body...it really doesn't matter. Who knows when I will be gone...I always...always delay your master's work." Tong Yuzhen coughed twice, then turned her head to the side and swallowed hard, her eyes immediately reddened.
“Miss Tong, please don’t say that. The master won’t think you’re causing trouble. The master treats you very... I don’t know how to say it, but please believe in the master’s sincerity. No matter what happens, the master will always think of you.” Seeing her look, Yu Dong shook her hands anxiously.
How could my master forget this Miss Tong!
Yudong himself had asked Eunuch Ji Hai a lot about Miss Tong. Eunuch Ji Hai told him everything he knew, even things that Yudong had not asked, Eunuch Ji Hai deliberately said a few more words. Needless to say, this must have been the prince's order.
This is because he is afraid that his master will misunderstand him.
The Miss Tong in front of him looked so frail that she seemed to be panting after walking a few steps. It really made people feel pity for her. If he was a kind and gentle man, he would be very heartbroken.
But Miss Tong seems to be blind. Why does she think that the prince will be deeply in love with her
In the past, Yu Dong could not imagine how good her prince would be to a woman. Now, seeing how the prince behaves in front of his master, she finally understands what deep love is.
Isn't it said that the prince is a willful person? If he really likes someone, why would he watch his beloved leave? With the prince's temper, he would keep her by his side even if he has to detain her.
The tricks that Miss Tong played when she was young were just because the Duke of Jingguo was acting sneaky at the time, which made the prince pay more attention to him.
"Thank you, Master." Tong Yuzhen said with tears in her eyes, and then she reached out and touched the maid beside her. The maid took two steps forward...
