"Who's making the noise?" An Dong looked outside and asked.
"It's a maid, who said she was the maid of someone inside." The coachman was blocking the door outside, preventing the crying maid from rushing in.
An Dong looked at Qu Moying, and Qu Moying nodded.
“Bring it in!”
The coachman let the maid go and took her inside. An Dong took a few steps forward, took her in, and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up!"
The sinister look succeeded in scaring the maid into hiccups and making her panic.
"Come and pay your respects to our master." An Dong sneered, pulled the maid's subordinates hard, and took the maid a few steps to Qu Moying. He pushed the maid hard, and the maid fell to the ground, trembling.
"Miss Xu's maid?" Qu Moying looked the maid up and down and asked slowly.
"Yes... it's our young lady..." The maid's face turned pale and she was extremely flustered. She had imagined various scenarios, but she didn't expect others to see her young lady's identity at a glance.
"Why is Miss Xu appearing in front of my carriage alone?" Qu Moying's gaze was still on the maid, his voice soft but with a hint of majesty.
Not hurried, not chaotic at all.
Even though Xu Qinglu just lay there motionless and heard that she might never wake up, she was not the least bit panicked.
"I went to buy candied fruit for our young lady across the street. She was waiting there. But when I came back, I heard someone say that a carriage had hit our young lady. My young lady was not in good health to begin with. How is she now? Can I take a look?"
As the maid spoke, she took out a few bags of candied fruits from her arms to show that she was not lying.
Although he spoke haltingly, his words were very coherent and he looked genuine, without a single mistake. It seemed to be real.
"Do you know who our master is?" Yuxiu asked impatiently, her burning eyes fixed on the maid.
"I... I don't know... It should be... It should be a noble master. I... I am just a poor lady. Originally... Something happened in the past two days. Today, I accompanied the lady to relax, but the lady... The lady was absent-minded before. I was afraid that something might happen, so I followed her, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."
The maid started crying again.
The words explained the reason for Xu Qinglu's sudden appearance, and also indicated that Xu Qingchu was in a bad mental state. This accident should also be Xu Qinglu's own intention.
But no matter whether it was Xu Qinglu's fault or not, the fact that she is now unconscious is the biggest accusation against Qu Moying.
Xu Qinglu is not an ordinary person. She was hit so hard and she doesn't know whether she can wake up. Qu Moying must give an explanation no matter what, and even give some compensation to Fengyang Marquis' Mansion.
Otherwise, Qu Moying would also be reported to the censors. Although she was a female family member, this kind of thing was already a serious matter that endangered people's lives, and the one who was injured was a female family member of an official family. Xu Qinglu had an excellent reputation and had always been weak. No matter who saw her current state, they would stand on her side.
It would be best if the Fengyang Marquis' Mansion did not investigate this matter. If Qu Moying used the maid's words to defend herself, it would be considered quibbling. The same words could be said by people around Xu Qinglu, but not by people around her.
That’s a very clever statement!
She can listen but cannot use it, and she thinks it makes sense, but if she uses it, people will think she is doing something even worse.
Yes, he had hit someone like this, but instead of taking responsibility, he pushed the blame onto an unconscious person. Just for this reason, Qu Moying is more guilty.
"Okay, I'll take your young lady back now and ask the imperial physician to take a look." Qu Moying waved his hand, not intending to argue with a maid here.
"Thank you... Madam." The maid hesitated and said.
"Don't shout here. Your lady's condition will get worse if you shout. Let's talk about other things after the imperial physician examines her." Qu Moying said calmly.
"Yes, I understand." The maid wiped her tears and stood up.
An Dong went to the door and told the coachman to find another carriage. They couldn't just leave Xu Qinglu here, nor could they send Xu Qinglu directly to the Marquis Fengyang's mansion. They had to ask the imperial physician to see her. If Qu Moying just left her behind, the matter would be even more difficult to explain.
The coachman came back quite quickly, and he came back after a while, but he also brought another person with him, a woman, who followed the coachman in.
"Master, it was the Crown Princess who sent someone here." An Dong first stopped the person and asked before reporting.
"Let her come over!" Qu Moying said. This matter was related to Liu Jingyu. She was still wondering why Liu Jingyu hadn't shown up at this time. Look, she came right away without any hesitation!
"Your servant greets the Princess of England." The old woman walked forward and saluted Qu Moying with a smile.
"What is it?"
"The Crown Princess has been waiting for Princess Ying for a long time, but she has specially ordered me to come over to take a look." The old woman said, restraining her smile and looking around, "Is this... something wrong?"
"Go back and report to the Crown Princess. Tell her that I have something to do today and I won't be there. We can talk about my cousin's matter next time we have a chance." Qu Moying ordered coldly.
"Yes, I know. I will report it to our queen right away." The person from the East Palace did not insist. She just stood as a witness, said this respectfully, and then left.
After getting outside, he rolled his eyes and looked at the passers-by standing by. He asked a few questions to the onlookers before leaving.
An Dong and the maid carried Xu Qinglu onto the newly rented carriage, which then went back to the King of England's palace. The palace had its own doctors, so it would be convenient to invite the imperial physician as well.
By the time Xu Qinglu's carriage left, most of the people outside had dispersed. They heard that they were going to ask the imperial physician for a checkup, and everyone felt that the nobleman in the carriage was not the kind of person who would bully others by taking advantage of his power.
When the maid came forward to cry and complain, I thought there would be a big fight, but I didn't expect the matter to be resolved so quickly. I just don't know if the woman was a real assassin or she just bumped into me by accident.
Because this matter involved an assassin, the onlookers did not dare to say too much gossip, let alone put the blame entirely on the carriage owner.
After all, this incident always makes people feel that it is not simple. Some passers-by think that the possibility of assassination is still very high, and there may be a follow-up to this matter...
"Master, most of the people outside have left." Yuxiu looked outside and came back to report.
"Let's go!" Qu Moying stood up. She liked quietness, and there were too many people around just now, so she was not in a hurry to go out. It was just right to go out now.
He had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped. His calm expression suddenly became excited, and he could not even hide the shock in his heart. The fingers that held Yuxiu's were trembling slightly.
She will never forget this voice, even if she dies...
"Here... What's wrong? Can I come in?" A woman's voice was soft and a little sweet. It was a young girl!
"Master?" Yuxiu could sense Qu Moying's trembling at the moment, and reached out to support her, saying anxiously.
Qu Moying stood still, calmed herself down slightly, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, hiding the shock at the moment, and then she let out a long breath, her voice a little hoarse: "Go see who it is, and ask her to come in."
Yuxiu didn't understand her master's attitude. The point of this sentence was to let that person in. How could she let someone in when she didn't even know who that person was
This was Qu Moying's order, and she didn't dare to disobey. She nodded and arrived at the door. Two people were stopping in front of the coachman.
The person in the front looked like a young lady, small in stature and seemed not to have grown up yet. She wore a large veil on her head and no one knew what she looked like. The one behind her was obviously a maid, standing behind the young lady, and it was obvious that she was protecting and alert.
"Who are you?" Yuxiu came out and asked.
"Who are you? Why don't you let us into the clinic? Our young lady is here to get medicine." The maid following behind walked up and glared at Yuxiu unhappily.
Compared to the burly coachman, Yuxiu didn't look that humble.
Seeing Yuxiu coming out, the coachman also stepped aside. No one else came to watch the fun, so as a coachman, he didn't need to block the door anymore. He just had to be a little careful and not scare the master inside.
"Your young lady is here to get the medicine?" Yuxiu looked the master and servant up and down, deliberately looking at them twice more, and asked again after she finished reading.
"Our lady is not in good health and has been getting medicine from this clinic. Who are you and why don't you let our lady in?"
The maid said angrily, took half a step forward, and carefully protected her young lady.
"Which family are you from?" Yuxiu asked again.
"Whose family are you from? Why are you so overbearing? Even if your master is receiving treatment inside, you can't stop other families from receiving treatment as well!"
It's obvious that this maid is a sharp-tongued person.
Yuxiu's gaze moved from the maid to the young lady. She would never forget that it was because of the young lady's voice that her master lost her composure.
I have been with the master for some time. No matter what happens, my master can handle it with ease. Even when facing the Crown Princess, the Queen Mother and others in the palace, the master has never lost his composure like this. Just such a simple sentence made the master's heart tremble, but this young lady did not look suspicious.
Could it be that my guess was wrong
"Since your master is seeing a doctor in there now and it's inconvenient for others to see him, let's go back first!" The young lady looked at Yuxiu's expression and thought that Qu Moying inside was not feeling well right now, so she spoke in a soft voice, sounding like someone who was easy to talk to.
"Miss, Madam is still waiting for the medicine." The maid had no intention of just going over there. Although she had just followed the young lady, she was also loyal.
"Then let's go somewhere else first and come back later." The lady was very easy to talk to. Although her face could not be seen under the veil, she sounded gentle.
Having said that, he turned around and was about to leave, and the maid had no choice but to follow him.
"Miss, please stay. Our master is ready!" Seeing that they were really about to leave, Yuxiu finally asked them to stay...
