Ever since Yan Yu came in, Qu Qiuyan has been keeping her head down, feeling very irritated.
She had never thought that things would turn out to this extent. How could it become like this? She was confused even at the time. The only thing she was thankful for was that she did not say anything to help Qu Caiyue. Even if something happened, it could not be blamed on her.
Hearing the lady's question, Qu Qiuyan raised her head hastily, her eyes blank, "Grandma, I don't know what happened today."
"Come with me!" The lady was silent for a moment, suppressed her anger, stood up, and added, "Girl Yue, kneel here and wake up. Girl Ying is tired too, go back and rest early!"
Qu Caiyue had also knelt in the old lady's yard before. When the others were let go, she was not forced to kneel again. The old lady now wished she had made her kneel all the time so that she would not have to go out and embarrass herself.
Knowing that the lady had something to say to Qu Qiuyan in private, Qu Moying nodded and left with the two maids.
The old lady left a maid to watch over Qu Caiyue, and took Qu Qiuyan back to the courtyard. She went into the main room and sat down on the chair in the middle. The old lady said to Qu Qiuyan in a stern voice, "Why don't you kneel down?"
"Grandma!" Qu Qiuyan knelt down with tears in her eyes, "Grandma, I don't know what I did wrong to make you angry."
"Great, what a deep sisterly love. Yu really taught her daughter well." The lady sighed heavily, her anger rising. "Do you think I know nothing? Do you think this has nothing to do with you? Your mother is the one in charge of everything in the mansion. If there is anyone else who can secretly send the clothes in, who else can it be except your mother?"
His words could not conceal his anger towards the family.
Her son was not doing well and found a loser like Yu. Let's see what kind of person she has taught her daughter to be? The old lady thought that Yu was the one behind this. Qu Qiuyan couldn't have been unaware of it. But even if she knew, she would have stood on Yu's side and kept it a secret from her grandmother. When she thought of this, the old lady couldn't help but get angry.
The old lady still believes that Yan Yu and Qu Caiyue really have something going on, and Yu is just a connecting wire. Without Yu's permission, Yan Yu would never have been able to get in touch with Qu Caiyue.
"Grandma, this matter really has nothing to do with mother. Second sister is from the East Palace. If anything happens, it is my aunt who is watching. Mother knows nothing." Qu Qiuyan explained hurriedly, tears of grievance falling, "Grandma, Second sister behaved improperly, this... is this also to blame mother and me?"
"Caiyue has always been with you, and she listens to you and does whatever you say. Although your aunt is in charge of things, she will never let her do this. If her reputation is ruined, will your eldest sister's reputation be good? To put it more deeply, as a daughter of the Qu family, do you have a good reputation?"
The lady said with a look of disappointment.
This granddaughter was taught a wrong lesson by Yu and doesn't know that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer.
Mrs. Luo may not care about Qu Caiyue's status, but she definitely cares about the reputation of her daughter Qu Xuexin, especially at the critical time when Qu Xuexin was looking for a good marriage. Mrs. Luo had said in front of her that fortunately the sisters all had good reputations and could find a good marriage.
The two from the East Palace are not engaged, but the two from the West Palace seem to have found a partner.
Compared to Luo from the East Palace, Yu from the West Palace is the most daring and also the most vicious. She wants to be well herself but does not want her sisters-in-law to be well. She is truly a troublemaker.
"My second sister is from the East Mansion. What does she have to do with us?" Qu Qiuyan was not convinced.
road.
What does that idiot Qu Caiyue have to do with me? Qu Qiuyan doesn't think Qu Caiyue can affect me. King Jing is interested in me, so what if my reputation is slightly blemished because of my other sisters
What's more, the one with flaws is Qu Caiyue, who is further away from me. Although there is a lady between the two mansions, they live on different sides. If it really doesn't work, I can ask my father to split the family, which will make me further away from Qu Caiyue.
As for the reputation of Qu Moying that she had originally plotted against, Qu Qiuyan felt that it was nothing. What kind of reputation did Qu Moying have? Qu Moying was ugly and blind, and now her marriage had been cancelled. She was already so unbearable, and now she was even more unbearable. What did it have to do with her
This is what she thought in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud of course. Before she came, Yu and her had already discussed how to defend herself after Qu Moying got into trouble. Now that Qu Caiyue had taken her place, it would be even easier to defend herself.
"Grandma, my second sister has been in the East Mansion. Although she always comes with me every time she comes, she won't say anything to me. After all, she and my eldest sister are sisters. She is nice to me, but it's just out of affection. My eldest aunt also doesn't allow her to follow me all the time. Most of the time, she follows my eldest sister. What happened today happened to her in the East Mansion. How could I know about it in the West Mansion? Grandma, do you think my second sister will tell me? I didn't expect that my second sister would push the matter onto my fourth sister. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped my second sister."
Qu Qiuyan's tears fell, she covered her eyes and cried, her voice sounding extremely aggrieved.
The lady looked at Qu Qiuyan with a cold face, "Did I blame you and your mother wrongly?"
"Grandma, my mother has always been very good to my second sister. She only has me as a daughter. She always likes my second sister very much when she comes to play. Whenever my second sister needs something, my mother always tries her best to satisfy her. Even though my second sister is my eldest uncle's daughter, my mother has always been very good to her. Grandma doesn't take into account my mother's feelings for my second sister, but instead wrongly accuses her..."
Qu Qiuyan couldn't continue talking here, tears kept falling down her face, she looked so pitiful, she cried so hard that she couldn't even speak, she was choking to death, and her tears fell even faster.
"Is your mother so good to the second girl?" The lady's face was full of suspicion. She had always felt disgusted with Yu's character. She was so bad to her son's biological daughter, so how could she be so good to a concubine's daughter from the next room
Knowing that her words had some effect, Qu Qiuyan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her expression becoming sadder and sadder: "Grandma, if you don't believe me, go ask my second sister and ask her if my mother treated her especially well. Even if she wasn't her biological daughter, she wouldn't harm her."
Seeing her sincere face and her tearful appearance, the lady hesitated. Could it be that Qu Qiuyan really didn't know about this? Was it Yu who helped Qu Caiyue to make this connection, but kept it a secret from Qu Qiuyan
This is also possible. After all, this kind of thing is not a good thing. Qu Qiuyan is an unmarried girl, so as a mother, it is better not to let her know about this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, his expression softened a little: "Get up and talk."
Qu Qiuyan knew that the crisis was over, so she obediently held on to Aunt Wu's hand and stood up, wiping her tears as she did so. She looked so aggrieved.
"Qiuyan, no matter what your mother thinks, you and Ying girl are sisters, the closest sisters. You should support each other in the future. You must not let people see you as a joke. If Ying girl is not well, you will not have a good reputation. Don't be so short-sighted as your mother who can't even tolerate a girl."
The lady said in a deep voice, with anger on her face. Even if Qu Qiuyan knew nothing about this matter, Yu could not escape the entanglement.
"Yes, Grandma, I know.
I was unhappy with the fourth sister because I thought she really wanted to disfigure me. Since she was not the fourth sister, how could I have a grudge against her? The fourth sister suffered a lot in the manor, and now Prince Xu has broken off the engagement. I will definitely treat her well. "
Qu Qiuyan wiped her tears and assured the lady.
Seeing how sincere she was, the old lady didn't know what to say except hoping it was true. She waved her hand helplessly. Qu Qiuyan knew that she was asked to leave. After wiping away her tears, she bowed deeply to the old lady and said obediently, "Grandma, I'll go see my fourth sister first."
"Go, sisters should get along with each other. Remember, the fourth girl is your biological sister. In terms of status, she is your father's eldest daughter." The lady sighed.
The sharp nails on Qu Qiuyan's hands almost pierced into her palms. She hated this sentence the most. If Qu Moying was the eldest daughter, what was she? Was she a concubine's daughter before
Why? My mother was my father's legal wife, the second wife of Qu, but she made Qu Moying the eldest daughter. She was just a blind girl whose mother died. Could it be that she wanted to step on my head
My mother didn't want anyone to mention the fact that she was my father's concubine, and Qu Qiuyan didn't want anyone to mention it either.
This is what Yu mother and daughter fear the most. If the person speaking in front of her was not the lady, Qu Moying would have wanted to slap her in the face.
"Yes, grandma!" She gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger. When she became the Princess of Jing, it was the time for her to step on this old thing's face. For so many years, he had been suppressing her mother for a dead person, and he would remind her mother from time to time that she had been her father's concubine. How angry her mother was because of this.
Qu Moying was able to escape this time, but she won't be so lucky next time. She doesn't believe that she will always be so lucky. Yan Yu suffered a loss, but with his personality, he doesn't seem like he would give up after suffering a loss once. Yu Qingmeng has to try harder.
Seeing Qu Qiuyan leave, the lady sighed heavily, closed her eyes, and leaned back weakly.
"Would you like to take a pill, Madam?" When my nanny saw that Madam's condition was not good, she asked hurriedly. There were not many pills left, so she had to ask the second master to ask the imperial physician to make some more pills.
"No need, it wasn't much to begin with, and I'm fine now!" The lady shook her head and said bitterly in a low voice.
After leaving the lady's yard, Qu Qiuyan stopped, turned around and looked at the gate behind her. A trace of hatred flashed in her eyes. She hated this old man.
"Miss, are you going to the fourth lady's courtyard?" the maid Qingju asked in a low voice, looking hesitant.
"Go, why not go? The lady is waiting to see us sisters get along!" Qu Qiuyan sneered and turned to walk towards Qu Moying's yard.
Halfway through the walk, they passed by Qu Xuexin's yard. Coincidentally, the gate was opened, and Qu Xuexin, who looked a little pale, walked out. After seeing Qu Qiuyan was stunned for a moment, a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Third sister, are you going to come in? It just so happens that I have something to go out for. I heard that something happened. Do you know what happened?"
"It's nothing. What could it be? I just need someone to go and say hello to my second sister. Let's go, eldest sister!" Qu Qiuyan said unhappily.
"Second sister, what happened to her?" Qu Xuexin looked frightened.
"Who knows? If you're worried, go and take a look, eldest sister. I'll go see fourth sister." Qu Qiuyan said with a fake smile, turned around and ignored Qu Xuexin and continued walking forward. What a useless person. She had asked Qu Xuexin to come along before because she wanted her to come forward. If something happened, she could take the lead and she would have less responsibility. She didn't expect her to escape it.
