“Madam… We all know what kind of person Madam Liu is. How could she be innocent? I only hate that I don’t have the ability to avenge my mother. If I could… I wouldn’t be in this situation now.” Qu Moying said, his eyes slightly cold.
Madam Qi was shocked and stuttered: "Princess..."
"Madam, let alone anything else, just for the sake of my mother, Madam Liu and I will never be on good terms." Qu Moying said with a serious face.
"Princess, these are all mistakes from the past... It's not for us to decide. We can't do anything about what happened back then. If possible, who would want to be separated from their own flesh and blood? Who would want to let their own blood fall into such a situation? Now it's even more like the old sending off the young."
Mrs. Qi burst into tears and was heartbroken.
"Madam, do you think Madam Liu will live in peace with me?" Qu Moying looked at Madam Qi's face and asked after taking a deep look.
"She... won't keep making mistakes forever." Madam Qi wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her eyes red.
"Madam, do you think she killed my mother but won't kill me? My mother was so innocent, yet she could kill me. Why can't she kill someone like me? This time, it was just one of her maids who did it. With the prince's protection, I escaped. But what about the next time? Who can I tell if I die next time?"
Qu Moying asked coldly.
"No... No, she won't." Madam Qi shook her hands in panic.
"No? Madam, you don't think my mother's death has nothing to do with her, right?" Qu Moying said sarcastically, "At this point, Madam, you still want me to live in peace with Madam Liu, to live in peace with a poisonous snake, and end up with nothing left, like my mother? Madam, you really have a deep mother-daughter relationship with Madam Liu, but don't show this deep love in front of me, I'm afraid my mother will look for me at night."
"Xie Jiao is not good, but the Crown Princess...she is also innocent." Madam Qi said anxiously, her eyes red, she didn't dare to think about that daughter either.
It’s not that she doesn’t love her daughter, it’s the hidden pain in her heart that she dares not think about, doesn’t want to ask, and even dares not to think about it actively.
"Madam, I am not your mother. If someone wants to kill me, I will never give up. I only ask you, if you are really wholeheartedly for the Crown Princess, you don't have to come to me again. My mother and I will not easily forgive Madam Liu. I just hope that you understand this and don't have to use the Crown Princess as an excuse in the future."
Qu Moying looked at the lady calmly.
There is an unforgivable hatred between her and the Liu mother and daughter.
"Whenever I think about how my mother was persecuted repeatedly by Madam Liu and ended up on the road to death, I can't sleep at night. It's as if I can see my mother standing by the bed covered in blood, and she keeps saying that she wants me to avenge her. She doesn't expect anyone else but a useless daughter like me. Even if I can't avenge her, I can't live in peace with Madam Liu, and I won't speak for her."
Qu Moying spoke word by word.
Madam Qi cried out in a low voice, covered her mouth tightly with a handkerchief, and cried inconsolably.
She didn't dare to think too much about that scene, let alone listen to it. It made her heartbroken in an instant. She didn't like Qi Xiejiao. How could she like her
But she also has to consider the Prince of Ying's Palace and the Duke of Qi's Palace. The prince will eventually enter the palace, Jingyu will become the queen, and Qi Xiejiao will become the queen's biological mother. By then, she will not be able to control her.
The way she is now is for the good of everyone in the future.
If Jingyu is really angry, then... what will happen in the future? Although the anger of a queen is not as terrible as that of the emperor, when it really breaks out, the Duke of Qi's Mansion and the Prince of Ying's Mansion will not be able to withstand it.
Now the Emperor favors the King of England alone, so nothing is a big deal. But what about in the future? If the Emperor is gone and the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, what will happen
"She is... she is the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace... in the future..." Madam Qi said while shedding tears.
"Madam, let's talk about the future later. Although I am a weak woman, I am also a woman of courage. Madam, please don't say such things again in the future." Qu Moying said lightly, her eyes calm but suppressing the coldness.
Whether it is Madam Liu or Liu Jingyu, she will not let them go.
They plotted against her time and time again, and she would not defend herself in vain. If that were the case, she would just die again in the end.
"Madam, I'm tired. I'm afraid I can't talk to you anymore." After saying this, Qu Moying leaned back heavily, his eyes slightly closed.
This would be extremely rude.
But she is of noble status now. Even if Madam Qi is of equally noble status, she is not as noble as her.
The person we respect is only of the same generation as Madam Qi.
At the Qu Mansion, Qu Zhizhen looked at the elders of the Qu family in front of him with a face full of disappointment.
“Sir Minister, please think of a solution. This… what should we do? Who will dare to marry a daughter of the Qu family in the future… This was originally a misunderstanding, how did it turn out like this?” The chief elder of the clan was a little excited, his hands were shaking. He was Qu Luqin’s grandfather.
He is also the leader of the elders who came here today.
“Sir Minister, there are so many daughters in the Qu family… If this continues… something bad will happen, and the entire Qu family will be ruined. Someone has already come to cancel the engagement, what… what should we do.” Another elder was also very excited. Just now, one of his granddaughters had her engagement canceled, and now she was making a fuss in the mansion.
Next, the other elders spoke at once. At this point, they just wanted to keep the peace and ask the Prince of England's palace to give Qu a chance to survive.
"What are you going to do?" Qu Zhizhen waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet, and then asked with a gloomy face.
Ever since the last incident, he has been "recuperating" in the mansion, and now his brows look very gloomy.
"Please ask the Minister to ask Princess Ying to spare the Qu family's daughter's life." An elder begged sadly.
"Let her live. The Qu girl is innocent. Just punish her."
"This kind of thing can be handled secretly, there's no need to make such a fuss. Princess Ying is also a daughter of the Qu family, and she will help the other daughters of the Qu family in the future. How can you send someone directly to the government office? This... this is not going to let the other daughters of the Qu family live."
"We are a family, we can discuss anything. Don't be so aggressive."
"It's just a matter of keeping it to ourselves, but now it's like this, let's see what everyone thinks."…
The elders were all very excited, and one after another, they were all secretly accusing Qu Moying of being inconsiderate.
Qu Zhizhen looked at the elders making a fuss with a gloomy face, without saying a word. After a long while, the elders realized that something was wrong, and their voices became lower and finally disappeared.
Qu Zhizhen asked sarcastically: "Since this matter is the matter of the Yingwang Palace, why don't you go to the Yingwang Palace?"
Going to the British palace
Who would dare to do this? Besides, it is heard that the British princess is not in good health. If anything happens to her, they will be in trouble.
"Sir, this is an internal matter of our Qu family. We'll have to trouble you to persuade His Royal Highness the King of England, especially the Princess of England. Since the Princess of England is fine, let's just forget about it and leave it at that!" said an elder of the clan with a smile. They had discussed it on the way here before they came that they must appeal to the emotions and let Qu Zhizhen persuade the Princess of England.
This is their main purpose of coming here.
As long as the British princess does not pursue the matter, this matter will become less serious.
"That's it?" Qu Zhizhen laughed strangely, looking a little eerie.
Even though several elders wanted to suppress Qu Zhizhen, they became uneasy at this time. They didn't know what to do next for a moment. They felt that if they said what they had prepared before, they might offend Qu Zhizhen.
"If the British princess really died this time, and if His Royal Highness the King of England didn't find out this time... would the British princess have died in vain?" Qu Zhizhen continued.
This sounded a bit inappropriate, and the elders were silent for a moment. They looked at each other, and all felt that it was difficult to answer this question.
Finally, the second old master stood up and said, "Minister, although this is my granddaughter's fault, she didn't do it on purpose. She used to have a good character. I don't know why, but she was seduced into doing such a thing this time. If you really think about it, she is also a victim. The Princess of England should at least give her some leniency."
It wasn't that he was solely focused on protecting his granddaughter, he just felt that if his granddaughter lost face, he would also be ashamed. He had to clear Qu Luqin of this matter so that he could hold his head up in front of others. This was also what he had mentioned before when he told other elders that Qu Luqin was innocent.
She was deceived because she was innocent, but she actually had a good heart. It also shows that the second old lady really wanted Qu Luqin to take care of the seriously ill Qu Moying at that time, and she was not trying to create some evil woman. Everything that happened afterwards was due to other people's calculations. Qu Luqin was still too young, so she was deceived.
"Your heart...was always good?" Qu Zhizhen sneered and threw a sachet from the table. "If you were good in the past, you wouldn't have given this kind of thing to your brother-in-law. If your heart was good, would there still be shame in this world?"
The sachet fell in front of the second old master. He took it and looked at it. When he saw the words clearly on it, his face turned red.
"This... this is outrageous, outrageous."
"If you don't believe me, you can check it out. She even let her brother-in-law go. She had been secretly in love with him for a long time. Now she is in the King of England's palace. How could she sincerely serve the Queen of England? I'm afraid she didn't have good intentions long ago. If the King of England wants to investigate this matter, it's probably not just a matter for a few girls."
Qu Zhizhen said in a cold voice that if he didn't still need the Qu family, he would rather get rid of the useless people in this family who were more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
This time, he originally thought that the opportunity had come, but now he realized that it actually caused him to have another empty dream...
The sachet was sent from the British palace. Although he had some ideas before, after seeing the sachet, he no longer had any ideas.
If the King of England wanted to investigate, it would not just be a matter of a few Qu girls being broken off from marriage...
