Qu Moying was silent for a moment. She also took the old lady's intention into consideration.
Although they are not related by blood, the old lady has always loved her very much, and this is something she cannot give up. If it were not for the old lady, she would not have put so much thought into her before. She does not have much feelings for Qu Zhizhen. Since she returned home, how could this stepfather stop scheming against her
"Have you told your grandmother?" Qu Moying asked.
"I've already said that, and my grandmother agrees. She'll be recuperating in Qingyun Temple for the time being... We'll talk about it later." Mo Yixuan nodded.
He had deliberately gone to Qingyun Temple beforehand and had already acknowledged his relationship with the old lady. As for what to do next, the old lady said it would depend on his opinion.
"From what grandma said, the news must have been passed on, but they probably don't care. Grandma is also heartbroken."
Qu Moying understood the lady's feelings best.
Given how much the Madam Dowager loved her grandson, and the fact that he was the only legitimate son left by her mother, her grandmother would have sent a message to Qu Zhizhen, asking him to send someone to look for him as soon as possible. At that time, Qu Zhizhen was so obsessed with wanting to have a relationship with him that he would not care about his mother's legitimate son. He must have been very kind to the Madam Dowager.
If not for this, the lady would not immediately agree with Mo Yixuan's attitude.
"Since grandma has agreed, there is no rush for this matter... After all, he... attaches too much importance to his official position." Qu Moying sighed.
There are some things that Mo Yixuan may not know, and she doesn’t know how to say it!
“It’s better for him to hold a lower official position, so that he won’t harm himself and also implicate my grandmother.” Mo Yixuan clenched his fists and said in a cold voice.
"His official position..." Qu Moying hesitated.
“Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it. I can accept it.” Mo Yixuan said in a deep voice.
"His official position is indeed a bit higher. If he were like Lord Liu, he wouldn't be able to make too many waves. He has been quiet and content for so many years. Once he became the Shangshu, he immediately wanted to change the situation, but he doesn't know if he has the ability to do so." Qu Moying said.
She had a different idea before, and even asked the lady to leave the West Mansion early. But now seeing Mo Yixuan now, her previous idea has changed again.
If Qu Zhizhen is really convicted, if Mo Yixuan returns to his ancestral home in the future, he will be the son of a criminal, which is very bad for Mo Yixuan.
Although Mo Yixuan met Qu Zhizhen for the first time today, he could see Qu Zhizhen's attitude very clearly. He could give up everything for an official position. He repeatedly expressed his deep father-daughter relationship with Princess Ying. After being coerced and bribed by Ji Hai, he immediately agreed.
He despised such people.
"Sister, since he is so keen on his official career and it will cause chaos, it is better to let him leave this source of trouble as soon as possible." Mo Yixuan said.
He had no good feelings towards his biological father.
It's not just his attitude, but also his greed for profit and his disregard for everything. He would really sell anything for power.
This feeling is even more disgusting.
"You and I both think so, so let's tell Father and the King of England. They have much better ideas than we do."
Since the two people had the same idea, Qu Moying felt that this matter would be much easier to handle.
Qu Zhizhen is no longer her biological father in the future. If she wants to deal with Qu Zhizhen, it may make Mo Yixuan unhappy.
Now that Mo Yixuan has seen things clearly, it would be best if he proposed to demote Qu Zhizhen. If Qu Zhicheng's official position is lower, based on Qu Moying's understanding of him, he would really be much more obedient.
The position of Shilang is actually quite high.
"I'll tell my father directly... and ask him to think of a solution now." Mo Yixuan said anxiously. The more he thought about it, the more he disliked Qu Zhizhen.
"Wait a moment." Qu Moying stopped him. "I just went back to Duke Yu. It's not appropriate to change his official position at this time. Otherwise, what will people say about father and the prince? Let's wait and see for a while. The previous incident also scared him. At least he will behave better during this period of time."
Qu Zhizhen is very enthusiastic about his career in politics, but he is also very cautious. At least when Qu Moying was in the Qu Mansion, he observed that he was cautious in his words and deeds. If it were not for Xie, it would be very difficult to find trouble with him.
People like him usually look very cautious, and their every word and action make people feel that they are very nice. It seems that they will not cause any trouble, but if they really cause any trouble, it will be a big accident.
The current plan is to suppress him for a while, observe first, and then find another opportunity to take action. But now he has to stay in the position of Minister.
After the brother and sister reached a consensus, they discussed some details.
Although Qu Moying was not in a position to explain all the circumstances to Mo Yixuan, she repeatedly asked Mo Yixuan to pay attention to Qu Zhizhen, saying that he was not a simple person and that there seemed to be someone behind him, who might be related to the struggle in the harem.
Mo Yixuan is not very old, but he is very clear about this kind of thing. Duke Yu had taught him about this in the past. He felt a chill down his spine when he heard Qu Moying's words.
Is it possible to get involved in a matter like the princes fighting for the throne? And it is hidden very deeply, and it looks like a big trump card in the hands of others.
Since it is a big trump card, if it is discovered, not only will I die, but my entire clan will also be killed...
Qu Moying's words once again made Mo Yixuan feel that now was not a good time to return to his roots...
"She is the daughter of Duke Yu? How... is this possible?" Princess Qiya opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. She stared at her brother blankly, "Second brother, are you mistaken?"
Prince Qi Lie sat down on the chair opposite her, picked up the teapot in front of him and poured himself a cup. After finishing his meal, he shook his head and said, "You heard it right. It's all spread outside now. It was the Queen's order."
“How could it be… this… how could it be… wasn’t it said that the fourth daughter of Minister Qu was thrown aside since childhood, had eye problems, learned little, and was nothing?” Qiya was already ready to attack the King of England. In her opinion, Qu Moying was a dead man. She didn’t expect such a thing to happen suddenly.
The daughter of Duke Yu
This was different from what she thought. Wasn't she an orphan with no father and no mother? How could she be the daughter of Duke Yu
"Let's put your previous matter on hold. She is the daughter of Duke Yu. Even if the King of England doesn't care about her, with the Duke of Yu's Mansion behind her, the King of England will definitely take her into consideration." Qi Lie didn't know how things turned out like this. He had no information at all before.
The matter of the Qu clan girl was widely spread, and he was just there to watch the fun, but he didn't expect that it would happen to him so soon.
The daughter of Duke Yu
Now that Duke Yu has been reinstated, his power has increased a lot. With the Emperor's support, he can compete with the Auxiliary General in a short period of time. His daughter... is not someone Qiya can kill just because she wants to.
"No! Second brother, you have already promised me, how can you change your mind?" Princess Qia was unhappy and said immediately.
"Now that things have changed so much, you can't still stick to your previous ideas, right?" Prince Qi Lie had a headache and instinctively felt that it would be better to be more obedient at this time.
"Second brother, even if she is the daughter of Duke Yu, she is not favored. Do you think that with the title of Duke Yu, the King of England will look upon her with a higher regard? Besides, her body is basically useless, and it should be impossible for her to give birth to an heir for the King of England. Whether she is the Queen of England or not is actually not that important."
Princess Qia argued with reason, unwilling to lose the support of her second brother that she had finally gained.
"Second sister, our main focus now is to look for our eldest brother and the others. We should not create any new twists and turns." Prince Qi Lie advised. He really did not want his sister to get involved in the Prince of Ying's Palace.
He was unable to handle the affairs of the British Palace, and his focus now was still on his missing elder brother, the Crown Prince.
"Second brother, I must marry the King of England. Even if you don't help me, I will marry the King of England." Princess Qiya said stubbornly. She had already made a very clear plan before, and even thought about what to name the child to be born in the future. But now she told him that this matter could not be done because Qu Moying's identity had changed.
"Even if she changed her identity, can it be as noble as mine? Isn't she still the same as before, a concubine of the King of England, an inconspicuous and frail concubine of the King of England. No one knows when she will die. She really won't live much longer in this state. If she dies, will the Yuguo Mansion blame me in the future? I am the princess of a country."
Princess Qiya had no intention of looking for the crown prince and her elder sister at this time. She only wanted to marry Pei Yuanjun, so she contradicted Prince Qilie.
"Qiya, are you not listening to me?" Prince Qilie's face darkened.
"Brother, it's not a matter of whether I listen or not. Obviously, this matter is good for both of us, why don't you agree? Don't worry, brother, I will be more careful and let her die quietly, and no one will know. As the daughter of the Qu family, that Minister Qu is not the kind of person who loves his daughter. He just wants to give her benefits. But Duke Yu is not like that. However, his daughter died by herself, so she can't blame others."
Princess Qiya said stubbornly, this matter will certainly increase the difficulty, but even so, what? In terms of status, can anyone be as noble as her? In terms of power, can anyone be as powerful as her family
She fell in love with Pei Yuanjun at first sight, and she must marry him, no matter who stood in her way, not even Duke Yuguo or her own brother.
“You… why doesn’t your explanation make sense…” Prince Qi Lie also became a little angry.
"Brother, as long as you promise me this, I will definitely help you find your elder brother and elder sister. Brother, you also know that although my people are usually not very useful, sometimes they are very effective." Seeing that Prince Qi Lie was really angry, Qi Ya softened her attitude and rolled her eyes, "Do you want to know where your elder sister is now?"
