After searching through Yu's place, my nanny came to Qu Qiuyan's Furong Pavilion.
"Madam, is there anything wrong?" Qu Qiuyan, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, stood up in surprise and looked at Madam and the several servants behind her.
"This old servant greets the Third Young Miss." My nanny stepped forward and bowed. The Third Young Miss is not like Yu. Yu's current condition is not good, but that does not mean that the Third Young Miss is in a bad condition.
She was someone close to the Lady Dowager, so of course she knew that there was a relationship between Qu Qiuyan and Prince Jing, but it was hard to predict what would happen in the future.
"You're too polite, Grandma, but what's the matter, Grandma?" Qu Qiuyan asked softly, her face full of surprise.
"The madam has lost a pair of bracelets. I just went to check on the madam. The madam said that they might be with the third young lady, so she asked me to come and take a look myself." My nanny said very tactfully.
"Bracelet, what kind of bracelet?" Qu Qiuyan frowned, looking a little confused.
"Miss Third, could you please let me take a look at the dressing box?" Wu Ma asked with a smile. Although her words were still tactful, they had a firmer tone.
Since the lady has investigated it, and this matter is related to the concubine in the prince's mansion, she naturally has to investigate it thoroughly. Even if she is gone, she has to know where she came from.
"What my mother gave me is another bracelet? It must be worth a lot of money. Can you take a look at this pair, my nanny?" Qu Qiuyan seemed not to hear the toughness in my nanny's words. She reached out and casually pushed a jewelry box from the dressing table over.
Look at the appearance of this jewelry box, it is placed there casually, and it seems that the owner does not care about it at all.
"It shouldn't be this pair..." said Wu Ma, but then she stopped talking and looked at the jewelry box that Qu Qiuyan opened in surprise. It turned out to be the pair of bracelets she had seen.
The pair of bracelets that came as a dowry from the Yue family and were said to be very valuable were just casually placed on the Third Miss' dressing table, which really surprised my nanny.
Could it be that the Third Miss really knows nothing
"Miss Third, this bracelet is so beautiful, why don't you wear it?" My nanny calmed down and asked in confusion.
"Mammy, can you take a look at this couple?" Qu Qiuyan smiled.
"Yes, this is the pair." Wu Ma nodded. "Miss San doesn't like this bracelet?"
The bracelet is so delicate, beautiful, and valuable. How could Miss San not like it
"This bracelet is indeed very beautiful, but it was not originally with me. My mother gave it to me not long ago, and I haven't had time to wear it recently." Qu Qiuyan explained softly.
"Is it something that happened recently?" Aunt Wu raised her eyes and looked at Qu Qiuyan. She saw that her eyes were moving, her complexion was good, and she looked very gentle and honest, without any intention of concealing anything.
"Yes, regarding the recent events, is there something wrong with this bracelet?" Qu Qiuyan showed anxiety on her face, "Madam, what happened that I don't know about? Is there something wrong with this bracelet? Did mother offend grandmother again? If that's the case, I will go and explain to grandmother."
"Miss Third, it's nothing. We've found it. It's all right now." Of course, Aunt Wu would not tell Qu Qiuyan the details, so she said vaguely.
"But why is my grandmother's bracelet in my mother's hand? And why did my mother give it to me?" Qu Qiuyan was not so easily fooled. She reached out and grabbed my grandmother's sleeve, and the expression on her face became heavy, as if she just realized that something was wrong.
The more she asked, the more uncomfortable it became for my nanny to speak.
She became more and more vague, and laughed dryly: "Miss San, it's really nothing serious. Maybe the Madam gave it to the Second Madam before, and the Madam forgot about it, so she specially asked this old servant to look for it."
Wu Ma said, reaching out and gently pushing Qu Qiuyan's hand away, closing the jewelry box, holding it in her hand and saying goodbye to Qu Qiuyan: "Miss San, I have to report to the Madam, so I won't stay here any longer."
"Is it really nothing?" Qu Qiuyan asked.
"It's really nothing." Aunt Wu smiled and turned around to leave with her people. It was difficult to talk about this matter at the moment, and she certainly wouldn't tell the Third Miss.
The fact that the Third Miss took out the bracelet on her own initiative showed that she was unaware of the situation, but the Second Madam must have known about it. Since she could get the bracelet without having to check directly, my nanny was also relieved.
After all, she didn't want to fall out with the Third Miss.
Compared to the second wife who is in decline, the third lady is the one who should not be offended.
Back at Kangmingzhai, Wu Ma presented the jewelry box and reported everything to the Madam. The Madam pondered for a moment, looked at the jewelry box in front of her, and asked thoughtfully, "It seems that Yan knows nothing?"
"That's what I think. The Third Miss seems to be unaware of this. Otherwise, such a precious thing cannot be seen by others and must be hidden. But the Third Miss just casually put it on the dressing table. It's hard to tell what's going on here."
My mama nodded.
There were only the master and the servant in the room. After being master and servant for so many years, there were still some things that my nanny could say at this time. She knew what the old lady was worried about. She was afraid that the second lady would lead the third young lady and the second young master astray.
Over the years, the lady-in-waiting had never liked the second lady, but she still liked the twins born to her very much. The second young master was placed in the East Palace to study, and he did not spend much time in the West Palace, just to keep him away from the Yu family and not be influenced by them.
As for the Third Miss, she was called over and scolded from time to time, but I don’t know if she can understand the Madam’s painstaking efforts.
"If Yan really doesn't know, then that's good." The lady said, but her expression didn't relax. Instead, her brows were furrowed even tighter. "But if she really is, and is deliberately acting for us to see, then she is more powerful than Yu Shi, and more..."
The lady couldn't continue talking here. She actually didn't want to speculate about her granddaughter in this way, but she couldn't help but feel that Yu gave her such a bad impression.
"Don't worry, Madam. Miss Third used to say whatever she thought. She's not the type to think too deeply. It seems that this incident really has nothing to do with her." Aunt Wu advised. She knew what the Madam meant.
The lady nodded, her expression relaxed a little: "That should be the case. Yu is not a good person. Fortunately, Yan Yatou and Mingcheng are different from her and are not very close to her."
"The Madam has done a great job in teaching them. She will certainly not let the Third Miss and the Second Young Master go astray." Wu Ma Ma replied with a smile.
"Give the jewelry box to Ying girl later." The lady nodded and looked at the jewelry box. "What does this Concubine Ji want to do? What does she mean by letting Ying girl wear this pair of bracelets?"
This pair of bracelets was given to the Yue sisters at that time. Even though Ji Youran was a concubine in the Eastern Palace, she had no direct relationship with Madam Ling Anbo. That pair of bracelets must have been given to the Crown Princess as a dowry, but the Crown Princess is gone. Could it be that these things have fallen into the hands of Concubine Ji now
But this doesn't make sense. Even if it fell into her hands, what would she do with the bracelet in Ying's hand
This is clearly irrelevant
The lady couldn't guess what was going on for a moment, but she still asked my nanny to send the bracelet to Qu Moying's Qianyueju.
Upon hearing that my nanny had arrived, Qu Moying hurriedly asked nanny Zhou to welcome her in.
"Fourth Miss, this is the jade bracelet that Madam wore." My nanny smiled and presented the jewelry box.
Nanny Zhou took it, opened it on the table, looked at the bracelet on the jewelry box, and her eyes became red. This was indeed the bracelet that the Second Madam brought as a dowry. At that time, she had been following the Second Madam, so she naturally knew that the Second Madam liked this pair of bracelets very much and had been wearing them before.
"My grandmother, isn't this bracelet from my grandmother?" Qu Moying picked up a bracelet and looked at it for a few times, a hint of depth flashing across her eyes.
After a closer look, she immediately noticed the slight difference, but if it weren't for what Nanny Zhou said before, she would not have been able to see it at first glance.
The difference between eight petals and five petals is actually just a slight difference in details, and the three petals of the double eight-petal flower are so small that they are almost attached to the top.
"It's not at the old lady's place, it was found at the second lady's place." My nanny was silent for a moment, then picked out the old lady and Qu Qiuyan.
There may be follow-up to this matter in the future. If it is not with the old lady, then it is not with the old lady. As for the third young lady, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with her.
It was just that the Second Madam wanted to hide the bracelet, so she gave it to the Third Miss, who was also at a loss.
In that case, don't get involved. What the lady hates most is to see the two sisters quarreling and ruining their friendship.
"Thank you, my mother." Qu Moying stood up and thanked her respectfully, but did not ask any more questions. This was not the right time. She would take back everything that belonged to her mother, but the timing was not right now.
Since this pair of bracelets can be used to attract Ji Youran, they can also be used to attract the belongings of Qu Fu's mother, and they are currently the best sedan chair beams.
When Nanny saw that the things had been delivered and that the Fourth Young Lady magnanimously stated that she had no intention of pursuing the matter, she felt relieved and said goodbye to Qu Moying.
Qu Moying asked Nanny Zhou to send Nanny Wu out. The two of them were old acquaintances. Nanny Zhou had accompanied Yue to marry into the Qu Mansion, and she and Madam Qu got along very well.
"Miss, I heard that they went to the third lady to investigate." Yu Dong had already found out the truth and said in a low voice.
Qu Moying looked at the pair of blood jade bracelets and nodded silently. She was not surprised that these things were found from Qu Qiuyan. Although Yu seemed to be the first to do everything, it was basically for Qu Qiuyan.
"How long has it been in the Third Miss's yard?" Qu Moying asked.
"Not long. I heard that he just went in and came out. It wasn't too long." Yu Dong reported. She had just come back at the same time as Wu Ma. When she met Wu Ma coming over, she stepped aside.
"It seems that this matter has nothing to do with Qu Qiuyan." Qu Moying curled the corners of his lips silently, and the sinister look in his eyes was hard to tell. Qu Qiuyan was smarter than he thought.
This feeling was very strange, as if the Qu Qiuyan I saw before was not the Qu Qiuyan in front of me. After a pause, he ordered: "Go check around Qu Qiuyan to see if there is anyone who has gained her trust recently!"
If she guessed correctly, Qu Qiuyan's difference was related to the people around her.
