The one who arrived the fastest was actually the Dowager Lady of the Duke of Qi’s Mansion.
It has been a while since we saw this lady jump out. This time, her beloved one was hurt, so she couldn't help but jump out again.
Qu Moying had no feelings for Madam Qi, but since she came, she had to invite her in according to etiquette.
Given her seniority and her relationship with the Yue family, as well as the old Duke's protection of the Yue family, and now that there's news that Qu Moying is in better health, a meeting is a must.
Send someone to welcome Madam Qi in.
After Madam Qi came in, she looked at Qu Moying's face. Although Qu Moying was still bedridden, he looked in good spirits. When he saw Madam Qi come in, he sat up slightly.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Madam Qi carefully looked at Qu Moying's face again, and felt a little relieved: "Is the princess in good health?"
"Thank you, Madam. I'm in good health." Qu Moying smiled and said softly.
Yuchun served tea and then stepped aside to serve.
"As long as the princess is in good health, I'm afraid that what is said outside is just like that..." Mrs. Qi said this and sighed.
"What are people saying outside?" Qu Moying asked in a low voice.
"There are rumors out there that the princess is in poor health. I heard it and was really worried, so I told the old Duke about it. He sent me over to take a look. If you need anything, just let me know. Even if the mansion doesn't have her, he will definitely send someone to look for her." Madam Qi said with concern.
Qu Moying shook his head: "Thank you, Madam. I have the herbs you need."
With the strength of the British Palace, the required medicinal materials must be available. Even if they are not available, it is easy to find them. Sometimes it doesn’t matter whether they are missing or not, but the thought behind it.
"That's good." Madam Qi sighed, wiped her eyes gently with her handkerchief, and frowned. "I don't know why it was someone from Northern Frontier again, and why they targeted the Liu Mansion. Ever since Jingyu married into the Eastern Palace, people from Northern Frontier have never stopped in the Liu Mansion."
Qu Moying was very sensitive and immediately understood the meaning of Madam Qi's words. She only felt a strong sense of sarcasm. These words... seemed to completely pick out the Liu Mansion.
He smiled slightly and didn't respond.
She didn't want to respond.
Madam Qi paused for a moment, and when she saw that Qu Moying did not respond, she felt a little embarrassed and had some displeasure on her face, but it quickly disappeared behind her kind smile.
She came here today to take care of things for the two families. She would feel bad no matter who got into trouble.
One is her granddaughter whom she raised since she was a child. She watched her grow up little by little. Even though she is not her own flesh and blood, she can't let her go. Qi Xiejiao is Qi Xiejiao and Jingyu is Jingyu. They are completely different. Even if she doesn't like Qi Xiejiao, she feels that it cannot be blamed on Jingyu.
The Crown Princess is so innocent, what does she know!
Whether it happened back then or now, she is just an innocent victim.
After all, the flesh and blood in front of her was not broad-minded enough. She could dislike Qi Xiejiao for what happened in the past, but why did she have to deal with the Crown Princess
If two people marry into the royal family at the same time and can work together, they will surely be able to allow the prince to ascend the throne safely and securely. Wouldn't everyone be happy then
We can also blame Yu for raising Qu Moying to be so petty-minded. How can she go far with this kind of personality
Even if she married into the royal family, she was still looked down upon. Everyone knew why the King of England married her, and now he was only caring about her for the sake of face.
If she doesn't stick closely to the Crown Princess, how will she survive in the future
Madam Qi felt that she was really worried sick. How could her own granddaughter not understand that she was truly doing this for her own good and sincerely wanted her to have someone to rely on in the future? If the prince ascended the throne and with Jingyu around, even if the King of England did not favor Qu Moying, she would be able to gain a firm foothold in the King of England's palace.
"Princess, the past is over after all, and it has nothing to do with the younger generation. You and the Crown Princess are both young, and the misunderstandings are due to the past. Now you two are in the same boat, and you can't let outsiders see the joke and get the benefit."
Madam Qi gave earnest advice.
"Madam... I don't understand what you are saying." Qu Moying said coldly, "The Crown Princess and I have never been in a relationship where we suffer together, and naturally we will not prosper together. Now the Crown Prince's family is using all means to harm me. Madam, do you think I should let her go?"
These words made Madam Qi choke. She didn't expect Qu Moying to be so direct.
"This matter... really has nothing to do with the Crown Princess."
"It has nothing to do with the Crown Princess?" Qu Moying curled her lips, speaking in her usual slow and measured voice, "Madam, did you come here today because of the Crown Princess?"
"Of course not all of them." The lady coughed softly and said, "It's not good to make such a fuss about this."
According to Madam Qi's opinion, it is natural to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing. Now that the Liu Mansion has become like this, if Qu Moying relaxes his stance, the effect may be great.
She came here with this mentality.
"The Liu family has been punished now. It will not be good if you continue to make trouble. Listen to me, let's just leave it at that. If possible, please ask the princess to say a few good words in front of the King of England." Madam Qi said self-righteously.
Qu Moying picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and then put it down heavily.
The teacup fell on the table, making a crisp clinking sound.
"Madam... Madam Liu, what kind of person is she? She must be still unclear about this, right? This matter really has nothing to do with Madam Liu? How could a maid dare to do such a thing? If she didn't have the master behind her, how could she be so brave?"
"This... shouldn't be possible. This maid has been bribed by someone a long time ago. I heard that she suddenly received a lot of money." Madam Qi said unhappily.
When Jingzhao Yin investigated, he found a lot of silver from the maid's residence. Each piece of silver was not small and had no markings, but it was not the silver and money that the Liu family used to use. This was why Jingzhao Yin thought that the maid might have been bribed. According to the people who lived with her, the maid didn't know where the silver and money came from, and she had never seen it before.
This maid hid it secretly, which shows that its origin is not legitimate.
"Madam Liu, don't you have any money?" Qu Moying asked back.
"This is not the silver that the Liu family used in the past." Madam Qi explained.
"If it's not from the past, does that mean it's definitely not hers?" Qu Moying curled her lips, "The Madam won't forget her identity, right?"
Madam Qi was choked by these words and immediately looked embarrassed. Her words were repeatedly refuted by Qu Moying, which made her feel even worse about Qu Moying. But when she thought about it, she felt sorry for the child. The reason why she became like this was because she had no mother to teach her since childhood.
The embarrassment on her face receded a little, and she whispered softly, "Let's not talk about Qi Xiejiao's matter for now. This matter really has nothing to do with the Crown Princess. But look at it now, the Liu family has been demoted, and the Crown Princess has also been reprimanded. No matter what the cause of the matter is, the Crown Princess has been wronged, isn't it a fact?"
Madam Qi sounded like she was speaking reasonably, but she had never thought that her heart had long been biased. The only person she was concerned about in her words was Liu Jingyu. She came to visit the patient and never said a word about leaving Liu Jingyu.
The purpose of coming here today is Liu Jingyu. Liu Jingyu is very capable and he was able to convince Madam Qi so quickly. Madam Qi really worked hard for Liu Jingyu. This is not the best thing she can do for her own granddaughter.
Qu Moying smiled. Fortunately, whether Madam Qi's heart was crooked or not had nothing to do with her. She was just Qu Moying and had nothing to do with the Duke of Qi's Mansion, whether real or superficial.
She was even more fortunate that this seemingly real relationship was about to end, and from now on, the lady of the Duke of Qi's Mansion would no longer have any blood relationship with her.
She no longer needs to be so involved with Madam Qi.
For the sake of Madam Qi, Qu Moying still hoped that Mo Yixuan would not be in a hurry to trace his ancestral roots. Such a huge mess of things really made people speechless.
Each of them is a top-notch person, and each of them is very self-righteous, as if they take everything to heart and weigh the gains and losses of interests.
These people are really enough.
"Are you feeling wronged, Crown Princess?" Qu Moying said with a smile, but the smile in his eyes was slowly fading away.
“The Crown Princess has suffered a lot because of you. She has been a kind person since she was young, and she always considers others when doing things. This time... it has turned out like this, and she is embarrassed. The Crown Prince even reprimanded her for this matter. She was very sad and is now sick.” Madam Qi sighed, full of heartache.
"If you feel sorry for her, please go and see her. I have some medicinal herbs here, you can take some with you." Qu Moying said casually.
It seems that he is just saying that, quite disrespectful.
Madam Qi became more and more unhappy, and the smile on her face faded a little: "What the princess said is wrong. If you really want to, the medicinal herbs are nothing. Just tell the King of England about this matter. This matter is over and done with. After all, it is the matter of the daughter of the Qu family, and it has nothing to do with other people. If she doesn't have a vicious mind, how dare she do this!"
"So... Madam Tai came here today for the Crown Princess?" Qu Moying's face turned cold and gloomy, and she leaned back lazily. "If Madam Tai came only for the Crown Princess, she came to the wrong place. How the Crown Princess is, and how her biological mother is, has nothing to do with me."
Qu Moying was really angry. This Madam Qi was really confused to the extreme. Even at this time, she was still speaking wholeheartedly for Liu Jingyu and her daughter.
If she continued to tolerate it, then they would think she was easy to bully, and really treat her as a soft persimmon. At first, she could consider Xiao Yue's face, but now she didn't want to consider it. Not only did she not want to consider it, she thought that in order to prevent Madam Qi from thinking too much in the future and treating the Prince of Yuguo badly, she could be even more excessive...
