"Don't you know whether I am talking nonsense or not?" Qu Minghui said harshly, feeling pain and hatred in his heart. It was because of him that Zhou Jinruo and his sister knew each other, right
In the past, Zhou Jinruo had always been concerned about his sister's affairs, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case. Zhou Jinruo did not mention such an important matter. If he had mentioned it, would things not be like this now
"Qu Minghui, are you crazy? Are you still fussing about this? Don't you know what's going on with your sister? She's jealous of Princess Ying and wants to step on her to get to the top, to enter the East Palace, to become the Crown Princess. Don't you know that? Of the several sisters in your Qu Mansion that day, she was the only one who didn't have a place to stay. The others all entered the Prince's Mansion no matter what."
Zhou Jinruo was also desperate at this time, and shouted, "In her situation, what kind of marriage would be suitable? She wants to marry into the royal family, even as a concubine, and you didn't even notice it, and you locked her up, not letting her go to the Crown Prince? If you don't give her a chance, she will have to find a way to get into trouble, and finally have to enter the Eastern Palace. From now on, she has nothing to do with you."
"So you really know everything?" Qu Minghui clenched his hands tighter.
"What's the point of saying all this now? She's dead, she died a long time ago. She calculated wrongly, she can't blame anyone but herself. Now she is dragging down the entire Qu family. She has to bear the consequences of her own mistakes. She asked for this kind of death." Qu Minghui's appearance made Zhou Jinruo even angrier.
She did know what happened back then, but so what
Qu Xuexin was willing to try her best, and she didn't want to care. She even thought it was good. What if she succeeded? If she succeeded, if Qu Xuexin won the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Qu family would have one more rich relative.
Some entered Prince Jing's Palace, some entered the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, and even some entered Prince Ying's Palace. No matter from which aspect, the Qu Mansion could remain undefeated.
Isn’t this good
Thinking this in his heart, Zhou Jinruo reached out to pull Qu Minghui, "You should leave quickly. If you go too late, things will get worse. Even if you don't do it for yourself, you have to do it for our future. You don't want the whole Qu family to be ruined after I marry you, or even the whole family to be executed! I marry you to live a good life with you, not to be beheaded with you."
He put his hand on Qu Minghui's sleeve and tried to drag him out.
The sleeve was swung hard, and Zhou Jinruo was caught off guard and was thrown out with it. After staggering a few steps, he almost fell down.
Fortunately, the maid was quick-witted and helped her up, stopping her just when she was about to hit the wall.
"Are you crazy?" Zhou Jinruo finally stopped and was very angry.
"I'm not crazy? You're crazy." The smile on Qu Minghui's face looked more like crying. He took two steps back. "I originally thought that I was going to marry a virtuous lady from a noble family. Even if she was in trouble at the time, it was nothing. She still had excellent upbringing, a good temper, and was kind and gentle."
"But it turns out I was wrong. All you wanted was a good life, a rich life, right? And I mistakenly thought you really loved me."
Qu Minghui burst into laughter. He really thought so at first and felt that Miss Zhou Er in front of him was good in every way. But now he realized that everything was an illusion, all fake.
In places he didn't see, Miss Zhou Er might even have instigated his sister. He had always blamed himself for his sister's tragedy, but this self-blame was only because he didn't take good care of his sister. But now he found that Zhou Jinruo was also involved, and his sister knew Zhou Jinruo because of him.
"Who doesn't want to live a good life? We were down and out at that time. No one would even look at us. My father's former friends no longer came to visit us. When we came, they were very cold to us. Even a servant looked down on us, as if we were poor relatives begging for money, even though they had been trying to curry favor with us before." Zhou Jinruo also got annoyed. He shouted with a trembling voice, "Do you know how we got through that period? No one looked up to us. They all thought we were finished."
"So you found me" Qu Minghui interrupted her.
"What's wrong with that? You like me, and I like you too. Your family is still prosperous and can help our family. Your sister wanted to make progress. Although she took the wrong path in the end, at least she did have a chance at that time. It was also because you didn't help her. If you had helped her, she wouldn't have ended up like this. At least she would have been a concubine with a position."
Zhou Jinruo was irritated by Qu Minghui's appearance and spoke rudely.
"Is it still the same ending in the end?" Qu Minghui asked.
"Who could know such a thing? If everyone knew, who would want to fight for the position of Queen?" Zhou Jinruo said in a sharp voice.
"So, you instigated my sister, so you really have a good relationship with the Crown Princess in private, so my sister really has a letter for help in your hands, wanting you to save her?" Qu Minghui felt that he was extremely clear-headed at this time, and he remembered every detail of the past.
Everything concerning Zhou Jinruo, everything concerning Zhou Jinruo and his own house.
Am I really blind? How could I think that the woman in front of me is a gentle, affectionate and kind woman
"I" Zhou Jinruo calmed down and wanted to explain.
"Go away. You don't need to come here again." Qu Minghui shook his hand. He really wanted to go up and slap her, but this was the woman he had treated wholeheartedly after all. He turned away. He didn't want to see her now. Whenever he thought of anything about her, he felt heartbroken.
"You let me go? You actually let me go?" Zhou Jinruo looked at his back in disbelief.
"Go away, and don't come back once you leave. Let's call off the marriage between our two families. I won't hinder your path to success." Qu Minghui said sarcastically.
After saying that, he strode in.
"Qu Minghui, if you really leave, we're done for." Zhou Jinruo covered her chest with her hands, her eyes red. She didn't believe that Qu Minghui would really leave.
Qu Minghui is really gone!
Zhou Jinruo was angry and hateful. In the end, he just stomped his feet twice, turned around and left with his men.
Qu Minghui was so stubborn that she didn't want to marry him anymore. Looking at his behavior, the whole Qu family would be in trouble. She married Qu Minghui to live a good life, but didn't want to be implicated.
Since Qu Minghui said so, she would go back and discuss the matter with her father. The best way would be to cancel the marriage before the Qu family canceled the engagement.
There is no time to lose. On the one hand, it can let people see the attitude of their family, and on the other hand, it also shows that their family does not agree with the Qu family. It is necessary to act quickly at this time. If they are slow, and something really happens to the Qu family, if they cancel the engagement, people will criticize the character of the Zhou family, which will be bad for her to find a good husband in the future.
This incident was totally unexpected for Zhou Jinruo, not only Qu Minghui but also the Crown Princess.
These two seemed reliable before, how come they are like this now? She didn't want to be implicated. If she broke off the marriage with the Qu family, she would also have to break off the marriage with the Crown Princess. She felt that the Crown Princess had gone too far in this matter. Was something big going to happen in the Eastern Palace
After going back to discuss it with her father, Zhou Jinruo lifted the curtain and looked at the Qu Mansion behind her when the carriage turned out of the Qu Mansion. She originally thought that she had found a good home and put a lot of thought into it, but she didn't expect that all it was in vain in the end. If she had known, she would not have chosen Qu Minghui.
In fact, she had several other choices besides Qu Minghui. Now she has to start all over again. It's really annoying.
It's not just Zhou Jinruo who is worried, but also the crown prince Pei Luoan
After returning to the East Palace, rumors from outside came in. Pei Luoan was so angry that he kicked the table in front of him, and the tea in the cup spilled all over the floor, with fragments flying everywhere.
The eunuch was so panicked that he dared not say anything and just knelt on the ground.
"Say it again!"
"The Crown Princess went to the Dali Temple to respond to the previous case. She said that the situation of the eldest lady of the Qu Mansion was unclear. She also said that she suspected that the eldest lady who died in the lake that day was the eldest lady of the Qu Mansion. But when she sent people to inquire later, she said that she was still there. Then, things happened one after another in the mansion. The Crown Princess was still under house arrest, and even delayed Madam Liu's affairs."
The eunuch gritted his teeth and reiterated.
"Good, good, good Liu Jingyu, good." Pei Luoan laughed instead of getting angry, only hating that Liu Jingyu was not around now, "Where is she now?"
"The Crown Princess did not return home, but went to Liu Mansion. Madam Liu's funeral was held today." The eunuch stammered.
"She caused such a big trouble, but she didn't come back." Pei Luoan was very angry, "Go send someone to bring her back."
"Your Highness, someone close to the Crown Princess came over and said just now that the Crown Princess fainted due to heartache over her mother's death." The eunuch said hurriedly.
"Fainted? Will she never come back?" Pei Luoan asked coldly.
"I heard, I heard." The eunuch stuttered and was unable to speak.
"Pa" Pei Luoan slammed the table heavily, "What else did you say?"
"They also said that the Crown Princess might be pregnant." The eunuch stuttered as he finished his words, his forehead covered with sweat. At this time, at this critical moment, the Crown Princess is actually pregnant. Can he still divorce her
Even if the Crown Princess was wrong, the baby in her belly was not wrong.
"Pregnant?" Pei Luoan was stunned.
"That's what they said. I don't know the details. The Crown Princess is still in Liu Mansion." The eunuch didn't dare to say it for sure. That's what he said when he passed the message on.
But we can't let anything serious happen just because he said so much.
"Go check!" Pei Luoan gritted his teeth and said
"I understand. I will send someone to check it out right now." The eunuch responded sweating profusely, then retreated.
The development of the matter here was completely beyond everyone's expectations. The Crown Princess was pregnant. The reason why many people knew about this was because the Crown Princess fainted at Madam Liu's funeral, and then a doctor was asked to find out that she was pregnant.
This is a great thing.
Even though Madam Liu's funeral was still going on, there was no sadness on Lord Liu's face. While he had his people serve the Crown Princess well, he also moved Liu Jingyu to the courtyard where he used to live. That place was far away from where Madam Liu's funeral was being held, so he would not be disturbed.
The doctor also said that the Crown Princess' pregnancy was unstable and she had just fainted and hurt her body. It was not suitable for her to move at this time. She had to rest well, otherwise something might happen.
Upon hearing that the Crown Princess was pregnant, the Queen Mother sent a reward over, as if she had no intention of deposing the Crown Princess!
