"What did Princess Ying say?" Pei Luoan nodded, agreeing with Liu Jingyu's words.
"The Princess of England looks weak, but she may not be. Your Highness, if she was really weak, the Second Lady of the Qu Mansion would have fallen into such a state. I have had some dealings with the Princess of England, and I have even suffered at her hands. There are some things... I don't know, but I think the Princess of England rarely suffers."
Liu Jingyu continued.
Pei Luoan didn't know what Qu Moying was like, but he remembered that Qu Moying once told him about Ji Hanyue. At that time, Qu Moying was just an unfavored lady in the Minister's Mansion, but she dared to talk about Ji Hanyue in front of him with a reprimanding tone.
That courage and that aura even made him feel like Ji Hanyue for a moment.
For a while, he even felt that Miss Qu was particularly like Ji Hanyue, but now with Miss Yuan, he naturally no longer thought so. When he saw Miss Yuan, he felt that he was seeing Ji Hanyue.
"The Princess of England has had a lot of trouble recently, and she almost lost her life. Even if she gets better now, it may not be a big deal." Pei Luoan nodded and said.
"Your Highness, if it was the former Princess of England, I might not dare to guess this, but the current Princess of England is the daughter of Duke Yu. Duke Yu finally found his daughter, the only legitimate daughter. After so many years of indebtedness, Duke Yu could not swallow this anger when he knew that his daughter was bullied. Moreover, she was the daughter of an enemy. Duke Yu is also a military commander!"
Liu Jingyu reminded.
Duke Yu was also a military general, and he had his own subordinates. When he heard that his daughter had suffered such a great loss and was plotted against by the Princess of Northern Frontier, and that the Princess of Northern Frontier was the daughter of an enemy, new and old grudges piled up layer by layer, it could be said that this matter might not be unrelated to Princess Ying, and Princess Ying's temperament was not as weak as outsiders said.
Even if she is not favored, she still has her own father. Moreover, like Princess Jing, she also has a father who is a military general and loves her father dearly. Others do not have this.
And both of them are involved...
"Who does the Crown Princess think is the most likely person?" Pei Luoan asked after a moment's hesitation.
"I'm actually not too sure, but I think they are the most likely ones. After all, they were both involved in the previous incidents in the palace." Liu Jingyu didn't dare to say anything for sure. She was now glad that she did not enter the palace during that period of time, otherwise she couldn't be sure whether she would be involved.
If there is a good opportunity to frame the British princess, she will definitely not show mercy, and will even deliberately add a little weight.
At this time, Liu Jingyu was only thinking about whether this matter involved Princess Ying or Princess Jing, and what would happen if she was in the palace at that time, but she did not notice that this matter had already involved her mother's family, the Liu Mansion...
"Master, the prince asked me to report to you. Lord Yue said that this matter indeed involved the Liu Mansion." An Dong came in to report.
Mo Ying has now returned to the Prince of England's Palace. She came back to the Prince of England's Palace after the Duke of Yu's Mansion officially changed her name and surname.
Mo Ying had anticipated this result. It was unexpected but also reasonable.
Compared to Liu Jingyu who knew nothing, Madam Liu was the one who knew all the truth.
Another point is that Liu Jingyu is the Crown Princess and is protected by the Crown Prince to a certain extent. I heard that Liu Jingyu was under supervision during this period. This matter has little to do with her. Pei Luoan would not believe that Liu Jingyu has such great ability to do such a big thing under his nose.
But Madam Liu is different...
"What else did my cousin say?" Qu Moying asked.
"Lord Yue wants to go to Liu Mansion to investigate. Does the prince ask the master if there is anything he needs to tell him about?" An Dong said.
Yue Wenhan is a talented and smart man. Although Mo Ying did not tell him something specific, he had already sensed something.
I asked this question specifically to hint at something I need to pay attention to.
"Just ask my cousin. It's best to ask carefully. For some things, you may find out something if you ask carefully several times." Qu Moying smiled slightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered twice. "It is possible that we may not get the answer right now, but no matter whether we get the answer or not, the result is disturbing."
"Master... do you want to make Madam Liu uneasy?" An Dong understood.
"Madam Liu... She has always been disturbing. She has been in the Duke of Qi's Mansion all this time, bearing the title of the Duke of Qi's Mansion's legitimate daughter, looking down on everyone in the world, but occupying this position. In fact... she deserves to be killed." Mo Ying curled the corners of his lips coldly. He looked down on everyone and was self-righteous, but he just didn't want to leave, and he did so many vicious things just to occupy this position.
She is the driving force behind many things.
"Cousin, please ask more about the Northern Frontier. There were people or things related to the Northern Frontier in the Liu Mansion before." Qu Moying narrowed his eyes and continued, "The servants of the Liu Mansion can investigate again. Lord Liu... we should have a good chat. Lord Liu used to be the Minister of Industry..."
Madam Liu is a malignant tumor after all, and it is time for surgery...
The servants of the Liu Mansion have investigated the people and matters related to Northern Xinjiang again and again.
The cause of the problem has almost been uncovered, but now they are investigating again.
The servants were trembling with fear, with their heads down and drooped, terrified. The servants in the Liu Mansion were deeply traumatized.
Doctor Liu was also under a lot of psychological pressure. Not just great, but also very oppressive. He came here with Yue Wenhan to check.
He used to look down on Yue Wenhan. Even though Yue Wenhan was in his prime at the time, to him, he was just a young boy. It would take a long time to be compared with him. Who could have thought that things would turn out like this so soon.
In terms of official rank, he was even lower than Yue Wenhan, and Yue Wenhan was the powerful Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Compared with him, the Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, he must be more favored by the emperor.
He used to be a minister, and now he is a doctor, and a doctor who seems to be useless. The sarcastic words of his colleagues are ringing in his ears, even if he is the biological father of the Crown Princess. Those gossips are ringing in his ears from time to time. Even if people don't say anything now, just a few people gathered together and laughed at something, and their eyes fell on Doctor Liu, it made Lord Liu feel uncomfortable, as if others were talking about him and laughing at him.
In recent times, Lord Liu has hardly left the house, nor has he visited his friends, let alone attended other people's banquets. He would rather never appear in front of others again.
But now he had to accompany Yue Wenhan to check on the servants in the mansion, the maids, the old women, and the servants who were in charge...
The Dali Temple had special people to investigate. Yue Wenhan and he sat on the side, listening to the people below talk about their specific situation. The more they talked, the more ashamed Lord Liu felt. He almost didn't dare to look up to see the servants looking at him eagerly. The servants were afraid and wanted to get some confidence from him, but he didn't have any... He was ashamed. How did he get to this point today? He was obviously a young talent with a bright future. He could become a prime minister in the future...
"Lord Liu!" Yue Wenhan spoke and said with a smile.
"Lord Yue." Lord Liu finally raised his head, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"I heard that Lord Liu and his wife have been married for so many years and have always had a good relationship. Can I meet your wife?" Yue Wenhan saw that the servants had asked most of their questions, and only a few had some doubts. They were taken aside and asked again.
"My wife and I... our relationship is not as good as the rumors say." Lord Liu keenly sensed that something was wrong and said in silence.
If it were in the past, he would never have said such a thing.
"Lord Liu and Madam Liu don't have such a good relationship?" Yue Wenhan asked in surprise, "I originally wanted to ask Lord Liu something about Madam Liu, but he doesn't know much about it?"
“Madam is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Qi. She married down before and has always looked down on me. She is not as good to me as others imagine. Others only hear rumors from outside, but never think that Madam has been holding a grudge against me for so many years.” Lord Liu sighed.
Yue Wenhan became interested: "What's the meaning of this?"
Lord Liu glanced at Yue Wenhan, hesitating to speak, and finally said vaguely: "Because of what happened in the past, Madam feels that this official... has someone in his heart."
This is bringing up the Xiao Yue family again.
Yue Wenhan snorted coldly, his face darkened: "Master Liu, what happened to you back then had nothing to do with my aunt. If there is any fault, it is the fault of Master Liu and Madam Liu. You are not going to blame my aunt again, are you?"
He is a man, he is straightforward in his temper and he speaks directly when he has something to say.
"This matter... Actually, it was indeed our fault, but Madam feels that... I have someone else in my heart." Lord Liu looked a little unhappy after being bluntly told this by Yue Wenhan, but he finally suppressed his anger, lowered his head, and said bitterly.
"Lord Liu must have someone else in his heart. I heard that Lord Liu has a daughter and a son." Yue Wenhan said bluntly.
Lord Liu's face turned red with embarrassment. He wanted to bring his words to Xiao Yue's face and make Yue Wenhan feel touched by him. But now he was bringing his words to his concubine, and the concubine who had caused him to lose his official position, so it was hard to say them.
"This... This is actually..."
"Master Liu, since Madam Liu doesn't get along with you, then some things have nothing to do with you. Can Master Liu ask Madam Liu to come out and meet you?"
Yue Wenhan did not take the opportunity to say more. This kind of topic would be hurtful to any woman, so it is better to say less.
"Okay." Lord Liu stood up, "Master Yue, please follow me in. We'll find another place to invite Madam out to talk."
This is a place for interrogating servants, which is very inconvenient.
Yue Wenhan nodded, stood up, and followed Lord Liu to a flower hall inside. After waiting in the flower hall for a while, he saw Madam Liu coming over.
Mrs. Liu can walk now, and as long as she doesn't walk too fast, there is generally no noticeable inconvenience.
The doctor was doing a good job, better than any other doctor she had ever seen.
After entering the room, Madam Liu glanced at Yue Wenhan, raised her head and walked past him as if she didn't see him.
She walked up to Master Liu and tilted her body slightly towards him: "Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"
