Then let’s check it out!
Originally thinking that it was just Hu Yan's own words, Qu Moying didn't expect that not long after he returned home and sat down to rest, Aunt Fang came over and talked about this matter.
"Your Highness asked me to investigate this matter?" Qu Moying asked in surprise.
"My Lord, you should check it out. The servants in the mansion will have Eunuch Ji Hai and this servant check it out. Princess, there are many people around you. Do you want to check it out again?"
The dowry that Qu Moying brought with her was indeed quite a lot, including not only maids but also several concubines. Qu Moying had seen these concubines before, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with them.
But what Pei Yuanjun said reminded her of the two maids who appeared inexplicably on the wedding day. These two maids were actually sent by the Queen Mother, but she didn't know about it.
Since the Qu family kept the matter secret, she really wouldn't think that other people had no problems!
Someone was sent to summon a few of the maids.
Mrs. Qu prepared quite a few companions for her, some of whom were in charge of the store affairs, and some of whom were in charge of the several farms and properties she owned.
Now I want to call everyone but I can’t call them all at once.
Qu Moying asked Aunt Fang to call those who could be called first, and then to sort people according to the names listed.
The people they called were standing in the yard. Looking at the people in the yard, there were at least forty or fifty people. Qu Moying had not expected that he would have so many companions.
Yuxiu went down to check with the people according to the drawing. Someone brought a big chair, and Qu Moying sat in the corridor, watching Yuxiu and Yuchun check together.
Yuxiu knows few people and needs Yuchun's help.
In the crowd, a person dressed as a maid stood at the back, her head bowed tightly, a handkerchief clenched in her hand, she could hardly stand, and tried to look around in panic. She didn't expect that Qu Moying would actually check for people according to the map when things were not yet done.
Didn't they say there was at least a month's time? At least a month, Qu Moying, the newlywed, wouldn't check on people, and besides, she brought these people here herself.
Is it possible that even the people I brought with me cannot be trusted
What's the point of checking people now
Yuxiu and Yuchun were walking towards them step by step, asking each of their names and what they did. The maid almost wanted to turn around and run away, but finally stopped.
She tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand. No one would find out. She would not let anyone find out. No one would know that it was her. Nothing would happen.
Yuxiu had already arrived in front of her.
"Chun Yue!" Yu Xiu looked at the name above and said.
"Slave...slave girl is here." The maid Chunyue hurriedly took a small step forward and said in a low voice.
She was an ordinary-looking maid, dressed like other maids. She was a new companion, and her clothes were already the same as those in the Prince of England's palace. As soon as she entered the palace, the Prince of England asked her to change her clothes into those of the Prince of England's palace. It didn't matter if they didn't fit well, because they would be remade when the clothes were officially made.
Yuchun looked up at the maid named Chunyue. This maid had a birthmark on her face. She had heard of her before. She was said to be very inferior and dared not look up at people. But her family was not bad and they were all capable. When the lady gave Qu Moying this family, she specifically mentioned this timid maid.
Looking from Yuchun's side, she saw that there was indeed a spot on the maid's face that looked several shades darker. It should be the gray-brown birthmark.
Should also
It is because of this birthmark that he always keeps his head down and doesn’t look at people.
Yuchun nodded indifferently, thinking that this should be the case.
Seeing Yuchun nod, Yuxiu said, "Okay, you can leave now!"
Chunyue breathed a sigh of relief, took a step back, and relaxed completely. Fortunately, she was well prepared, otherwise she would not have been able to get through the door this time.
This is good, at least no one will doubt her anymore.
"Wait a moment." Yuxiu suddenly said.
Chunyue's whole body suddenly tensed up, almost frozen in place, unable to move at all. After a long while, she heard her own trembling voice: "Is there... something wrong?"
"Raise your head." Yuxiu's face turned cold. She didn't know this maid, but she could sense the change in her mood just now.
From being very nervous to being relaxed, he even let out a sigh of relief. It was very light, but it fell into Yuxiu's ears.
She immediately concluded that there was something wrong with this maid.
"I... I have a birthmark on my face, it's ugly... I'm afraid it will disturb... the girl." Chunyue stammered.
"I'm not afraid, just raise your head!" Yuxiu's eyes fell coldly on the shivering figure in front of her, and she had no intention of letting her go.
"Slave...slave..." Chunyue wanted to explain.
"No need to say anything more, just look up!" Yuxiu took two steps forward, stretched out her hand, lifted Chunyue's chin, and suddenly lifted it up.
Chunyue screamed and tried to step back, but the hand on her neck was cold and strong, holding her head up.
"Yu... Miss Yuxiu... Miss..." Chunyue raised her head and looked at Yuxiu with tears in her eyes, stammering.
Yuchun took two steps forward and looked at the maid named Chunyue. The first thing she saw was her birthmark. It was such a big one on her face that it was really shocking to see.
Having such a large birthmark would really make people feel inferior and afraid to look up. No wonder this maid named Chunyue would behave like this.
Yuchun felt quite sympathetic and was about to step forward to say something to Chunyue, but suddenly she stopped and frowned. This maid named Chunyue actually made her feel that she looked somewhat familiar, but she had never really seen a maid named Chunyue.
Who could fail to remember such a special maid
"Yuchun, do you know her?" Sensing that something was wrong with Yuchun, Yuxiu turned her head and looked at her and asked.
“This servant… This servant has met Miss… Yuchun.” Chunyue almost cried, she was very panicked, and you could tell at a glance that she was very timid.
"Are you Chunyue?" Yuchun was still looking up and down at the maid in front of her. She really felt that this maid looked very familiar. The more she looked at her, the more familiar she looked.
"I...I am..." Chunyue was about to cry, and looked at Yuxiu with tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Yuxiu asked Yuchun. She came into the mansion late and many people didn't recognize her. She couldn't recognize anything at this time. She just felt... that there was something wrong with this maid.
"I didn't find anything wrong, I just... felt that he looked familiar." Yuchun shook her head, confused. She felt that he looked familiar, but she just couldn't remember where he was. Looking at this familiar look, it seemed that she had seen him more than once.
"Is there something wrong with this birthmark?" Yuxiu said as she reached out to wipe the birthmark on Chunyue's face.
"Girl, this can't be wiped off." Chunyue cried hurriedly, tears falling down.
"If the two ladies don't like me, I should have avoided you early. Why... why do you have to humiliate me like this... me... me..."
Seeing her like this, the servants around her started to get agitated, thinking that Yuxiu and Yuchun were really bullying this little maid.
"Miss Yuxiu, just let her go. She's just a little maid who doesn't look good."
"Miss Yuxiu, I have actually seen this maid before. She has always looked like this, so unpresentable. She has been like this for many years."
"Yes... yes, that's right. She is completely different from her mother. She has been a pitiful child since she was young."...
The servant next to her began to speak for her.
Chunyue kept her head down the whole time, and that was the look everyone saw her in. All the servants in the Qu Mansion knew what was going on with her.
It's really pitiful to talk about it. It is because of this big birthmark on her face that this girl has been unable to find a husband even at her old age. It's really a pity.
Yuxiu glanced at Yudong, half-believing and half-doubting, and wanted to let go. Could it be that she was overthinking it? The sigh of relief she just let out was just because this maid was timid
Before I put my hand down, another voice suddenly came to my ear: "Let us take a look!"
When he looked up and saw the person coming, he was immediately happy. He turned his hand and turned Chunyue's face to the eunuch An Dong who was walking over. This was the former Yu Dong, who knew a lot of people and had a very sharp eye.
Others didn't recognize An Dong, they only saw a eunuch coming over, and they hurriedly bowed their heads respectfully. This was the Prince of Ying's Palace, not the Qu Mansion, and eunuchs had always been more respectable than ordinary servants.
Yuxiu turned her hand, and Chunyue's face met An Dong's. After their eyes met, Yu Dong uttered a sigh, took two steps forward and took a closer look, then suddenly laughed: "This... is really an acquaintance. I didn't expect that he actually entered the Prince of Ying's Palace. He is really brave."
Hearing what he said, Yuchun's face changed, and he hurriedly took two steps forward and turned to Anton's side, "Who... is this person? Do we know him?"
"How could I not recognize him? He's an old acquaintance!" An Dong laughed, his delicate face showing a bit of sinisterness in his smile. Chunyue looked up at An Dong again in panic, not understanding why the eunuch in front of her looked so familiar. She didn't know any eunuch, especially the eunuch in the Prince of England's Palace.
This... who is this person? Could he really know her
Thinking of this, she became more panicked and struggled almost subconsciously, but Yuxiu's hand was weak and she held Chunyue tightly with force, leaving her with no way to retreat.
"This person... was once the master of the Qu Mansion!" Anton smiled sinisterly and stretched out his hand to pull Chunyue's sleeve.
Seeing her stretching out her hand, Yuxiu relaxed her hand and prepared to hand the man over to Anton for interrogation. Compared to herself, Anton was the one who was familiar with the Qu Mansion.
As soon as she loosened her grip, Chunyue suddenly took a step back, screamed, and suddenly pushed away Yuchun, who was standing on the side and was in the weakest position, and suddenly rushed forward.
The servants standing in front of her were caught off guard and were pushed to the ground by her.
"Not good!" Anton reacted quickly, turned around and kicked.
Yuxiu also reacted at this time. Her face changed drastically. She took a few steps forward and rushed behind the maid, shouting, "Master, be careful."
