If Qu Caiyue said that she had seen Yudong once before, Qu Moying would have actually believed it. When An Dong went out that day, she was dressed like a maid!
But then he said he was with a young lady, who looked like a maid. Does that mean An Dong had a new master? Until now, Qu Moying still couldn't figure out that Qu Caiyue had ulterior motives. She was really stupid.
He smiled gently, the corners of his lips slightly raised, playfully hiding the sarcasm in the corners of his eyes.
Qu Caiyue came prepared today.
Yes, An Dong is really a good breakthrough point around him. He used to be his most trusted person and was more important than Yu Chun. Now he is gone suddenly. This is definitely a breakthrough point that can be seen by everyone.
"Today? Just now?" Qu Moying asked.
"Yes, I saw her on the way here just now. I lifted the curtain and thought I saw the wrong person... I didn't expect it to be real." Qu Caiyue said with emotion, "I don't know if she encountered any trouble. I saw that she was slapped by the lady."
Qu Caiyue was in Prince Jing's mansion and didn't know much about the maidservant around Qu Moying, so she said this.
"Do you know who it is?" Qu Moying frowned, anger flashing in her watery eyes.
“This… I don’t know.”
Qu Caiyue shook her head, "But... it seems..."
She said this with some hesitation, and turned to look at the maid behind her. This maid should be her confidant in Prince Jing's mansion, "Just now you said you saw that lady? Tell Princess Ying about it."
The maid came out from behind her and bowed respectfully to Qu Moying, "When I entered the room just now, I seemed to have seen this young lady. Madam was very angry when she saw this young lady hitting someone, and I also took a few more glances at her and took note of this young lady."
"Are you here at the Qu Mansion?" Qu Moying asked.
"It should be so. I'm not sure whether it's true or not." The maid didn't dare to say anything for sure.
"Fourth sister, don't be upset, and don't go out of your way to look for her. If you see her, just ask her. If you don't see her, forget it. It's just a maid's matter. You, as the master, released her back then, which was also the most righteous thing. If she really encountered something, she didn't take the initiative to look for you, her old master. What she suffered is her own business."
Qu Caiyue advised.
Qu Moying looked unhappy, but still nodded. No matter whether she agreed with this statement in her heart or not, at least she couldn't leave now. Qu Zhizhen was remarrying today, and it didn't matter whether it was a grand ceremony or not, as a daughter, she had to be present. Could it be that a maid was more important than her biological father
"Fourth sister, let's go sit there. When I was in the mansion before, I liked to sit here. This is the highest place in the mansion, and you can see most of the scenery in the mansion. I didn't think it was that good when I was in the mansion before, but now when I think about it, I still miss it a little, although it's not as good as Prince Jing's Mansion."
Qu Caiyue sighed and pointed to a pavilion. This pavilion was built next to a rockery. A small part of the upper floor stepped onto the rockery, and then went up a few stone steps to a pavilion above.
This pavilion looks like a continuation of the building. In fact, it can also be reached from the stone steps behind the rockery, but it is more spacious and convenient to go there from the building.
This is indeed the most
High place.
Qu Moying, however, did not miss it. She had never had much feeling for anything in the Qu Mansion. She had only lived there for a short period of time. The so-called sisters came here to sit together only once or twice. If Qu Caiyue hadn't mentioned it, she really wouldn't have remembered it.
As the highest viewing spot in the entire Qu Mansion, this place is well maintained today. Snacks have been prepared long ago so that the ladies and young ladies who come here to enjoy the scenery can sit here and rest for a while. The weather is just right, and it is particularly comfortable to sit in the pavilion with the breeze blowing and delicious snacks and tea.
Several people sat in the pavilion and brought tea from the attic.
The three of them did not sit on the stone bench in the middle, but sat down against the fence on one side. Qu Caiyue sat next to Qu Moying, and Qu Qiuyan sat alone on one side.
Looking from here, you can not only see the West Palace, but also part of the East Palace. The view is particularly broad.
Of course, if someone looks over, they will find that they are sitting on it.
“Fourth sister, thank you for what happened last time… If it weren’t for you… I would have…” Qu Caiyue’s eyes were red, and she expressed her gratitude to Qu Moying in a very low voice. Seeing her stealing glances at Qu Qiuyan, she knew that she was talking about Qu Qiuyan.
It is obvious what is being talked about.
"Then... where did the jewelry go?" Knowing what she was talking about, Qu Moying asked casually.
"Then... it disappeared." Qu Caiyue paused. She was still puzzled by this matter. Could it be that the thing was really a treasure of the prince? Could there really be such a woman
Gone
Qu Moying held the round fan in his hand playfully. It was normal that it was lost. If an ordinary woman could get this thing, Pei Yusheng's reign as King Jing would really be over.
If Pei Luoan knew that the things he made with his own hands fell into Pei Yusheng's hands, he would probably make another big move and the entire East Palace would have to be checked again.
"Does Fourth Sister know... about the Eastern Palace incident?" Qu Caiyue felt that she had already won Qu Moying's favor enough, so she wiped the corners of her eyes gently with a handkerchief and said.
Qu Qiuyan is here, but she is still just a lady after all. There are some things she cannot say too much to Qu Moying. I believe Qu Moying also understands that. She just needs to make Qu Moying believe that she is really grateful and really wants to be on good terms with her.
"What's the matter in the Eastern Palace?" Qu Moying asked casually, his eyes falling outside the pavilion.
"I heard it's about the horoscope of the late Crown Princess... The horoscope that was used for matching wasn't the late Crown Princess's. Someone replaced it. They said it was someone from the Eastern Palace who made the mistake, and then that person died in the Eastern Palace." Qu Caiyue asked, "Does Fourth Sister know about this?"
"I heard something." Qu Moying said lightly.
"Many people say that the horoscope belongs to Mrs. Ji." Qu Caiyue said.
Qu Moying slowly withdrew his gaze and fell on Qu Caiyue, asking, "Do you have any evidence?"
"I don't have any evidence, but I heard from a servant of the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion. You know, the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion has fallen into decline, and some servants of the second house have gone their separate ways. There was this person... I met him by chance, I don't know if it's true!"
Although no one else here could hear it, Qu Caiyue still unconsciously lowered her voice a few degrees.
The second room is now in Ling'an
The Bo family is very weak. If Madam Ji was not still around, and Madam Duan was a little more powerful, she could easily drive them away.
Some of the servants of the second house, if they were able, would buy their own homes and escape from slavery.
There are not many people who do this. Madam Duan has specifically investigated and found only a few of the most trusted people of the Xiao family in the second branch. Such trusted people may obviously know something.
After Qu Moying got the list from Mrs. Duan, he did not look for them directly. He waited for the most appropriate time to find these people, and perhaps he would get a bigger surprise.
At the moment, this matter was brought up by Qu Caiyue...
No purpose...
"What kind of person is he?" Qu Moying asked.
"A woman named Wang, who I heard was once the most useful person around Xiao. I don't know if what she said is true." Qu Caiyue did not hesitate at all to win Qu Moying's favor.
"Where is this person now?" Qu Moying pursed his lips, a sneer flashing across his face.
Seeing that Qu Moying was really interested, Qu Caiyue said, "This person is outside the Prince Jing's Mansion. I deliberately left her there because I was afraid that Fourth Sister would be concerned about this matter. I originally wanted to send someone to deliver a letter, but I thought that I would return to the mansion myself, so it would be better to tell Fourth Sister directly. If it doesn't work, I will have someone release her."
"Please ask Second Sister to send this old woman surnamed Wang over here." Qu Moying raised his eyes slightly and said to Qu Caiyue.
There is indeed such a woman named Wang. Is she related to Prince Jing's Mansion? That's really unexpected, but it's a good thing for her.
"Don't worry, Fourth Sister. I will send the person to the Prince of England's Palace after I return. Fourth Sister, ask carefully about it. I didn't dare to ask more about the details. I don't know whether many things are true or not. Fourth Sister, you need to be careful when asking questions. Don't lose the big picture because of the small details."
Qu Caiyue said with concern, and her words were completely on Qu Moying's side.
I also took the opportunity to show some concern for Qu Moying, which was in line with the words of gratitude she had just said in advance. Because of gratitude, I took Qu Moying's affairs to heart.
"Thank you, second sister."
She had basically figured out what was going on with Ji Youran, so there was not much point in keeping her any longer. Since Qu Caiyue had given her such a benefit, how could she not accept it
The retribution that Ji Youran received was not to let her die silently in the East Palace, so she saved Ji Youran when she was in danger...
What she owed Ji Hanyue could not be resolved by hearsay or rumors.
What she wanted was to make it public and expose Pei Luoan's hypocritical face...
Seeing her like this, her expression also eased a lot. Qu Caiyue knew that the matter was settled, so she smiled and shook her hand: "I don't know if this is useful, compared with what Fourth Sister helped me, it's really nothing. Fourth Sister, don't worry, if there is such a thing in the future, I will definitely tell you first and let you make the decision."
"Second sister is thoughtful."
"Why are you saying these things to me, sister? If it weren't for you... I wouldn't be able to sit here peacefully now." Qu Caiyue deliberately lowered her voice and then gave Qu Moying a knowing smile.
It was as if the two of them had a real secret.
"Madam, is that... the young lady from before?" The maid standing beside her suddenly pointed downwards and exclaimed in surprise...
