A crooked body is not afraid of its shadow. Madam Ji had something to hide and became more and more convinced that what she saw was a ghost.
"Madam Ji... Madam Ji..." Qu Moying called softly.
Madam Ji finally felt alive again. The person in front of her was the fourth young lady of Minister Qu's house. She had seen her before and could tell at a glance that she was not the granddaughter. She raised her eyes and looked around. There were many people around, including monks, pilgrims, and some ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families.
"What's wrong with me?" Madam Ji reached out and touched her hand, and a hint of blood appeared on her pale face.
"When I came in with this master just now, I saw these people surrounding the Madam. I wonder if the Madam was harmed by them? Otherwise, why would she faint here?"
Qu Moying raised his eyes and looked at the eternal lamp in front of him. "Is this the eternal lamp of my uncle and aunt?"
She had always been in the manor and had never been here, so it was normal for her to ask this question.
Speaking of her son, Mrs. Ji's heart ached. The memories just now came flooding back, and her hands trembled so badly that she could hardly control it.
"Madam Ji is so kind to my uncle and aunt that she even brought so many offerings to worship them." Qu Moying said as he looked around.
Madam Ji's gaze followed her to the surroundings. When she saw the offerings nearby and that the Yue family had not only offerings but also an unburned sachet, she almost fainted again.
Of course I knew how many things she brought with her. How could there be so many? But when I looked at them, they were indeed the things I bought.
Whether it's incense, candles, paper money, or anything else, they are all exactly the same as mine.
"Miss Qu Si, could you please bring that sachet over here... so I can have a look." Madam Ji said with difficulty.
Qu Moying nodded, and Yudong came to Yue's eternal lamp and took the sachet. The old lady took it in her trembling hands, and when she saw the colorful butterflies flying above the embroidered orchids, her face suddenly changed drastically, and the sachet in her hand dropped to the ground in horror.
This kind of embroidery pattern is Hanyue's favorite, with butterflies dancing among flowers and butterflies dancing over fragrant flowers. In the past, Ji Hanyue would embroider this pattern on her collar, sleeves, handkerchiefs, and sachets. Ji Hanyue's embroidery skills are average, but the embroidery of this butterfly is outstanding, and it is different from other embroidery styles at first glance.
Madam Ji immediately realized that the sachet in front of her was indeed embroidered by Ji Hanyue.
There were waves of blackness in his eyes, his heart was twitching in panic, and he was at a loss. What had just happened was true. The second granddaughter and the eldest son wanted to take their lives. They were here to take revenge. What should he do
"Madam... Madam, how did you faint?" Qu Moying asked softly, as if she didn't notice Madam Ji's shock, pointing at a few scoundrels, "Is it related to them? Otherwise, how could you faint? Why don't we have someone check this place out?"
"No need to investigate, they were the ones who made me faint." When Mrs. Ji heard that they were going to investigate this, she was afraid that Ji Hanyue might have left something behind. If they said that she died unjustly, it would cause an uproar, so she said hurriedly. She was panicked and confused now, and she was only thinking about how to go back and make up for it.
If she was the only one who fainted, it could be explained by her old age and frailty, but it was really hard to explain why several people fainted here together. It must be them who happened to run into them.
"Nonsense,
What is our relationship? "
"We just got here, Madam Ji, you can't lie with your eyes open."
"Madam Ji, we just came here, and it has nothing to do with your fainting!"...
The scoundrels originally thought that nothing was wrong, that she had just fainted. Even if this person was Madam Ji, it had nothing to do with them, they were just passing by.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ji said that they had made her faint.
"Madam Ji, do you think there is something wrong with this sachet?" Qu Moying asked with a smile when she saw Madam Ji looking at the sachet.
Madam Ji’s face was as pale as paper, her body was shaky, and she was looking at the sachet on the ground.
"Mrs. Ji, don't be too sad. Your uncle and aunt will be sad to see you so sad. And your cousin, if she knows about this, she will definitely send you a dream. Mrs. Ji... Mrs. Ji..."
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Ji rolled her eyes and fainted again.
When Mrs. Ji heard that her granddaughter could still appear in her dreams, she could not bear it anymore and fainted immediately.
The monks in the temple hurriedly sent Madam Ji to rest. Qu Moying followed the people from the Ji Mansion. She had been supporting Madam Ji just now, so naturally she followed them at this time.
As for the few scoundrels, they were of course taken along as well.
Qu Moying followed for a few steps, and suddenly turned back to look at Qu Qiuyan: "Third sister, I'm really fine, and there's no need for you to ask father for help. These scoundrels have nothing to do with me. Fortunately, when I came here, I couldn't find my mother's eternal lamp, so I went to find the master in the temple, otherwise these scoundrels would have really bumped into me."
After she finished speaking, she followed the people from Ji's house away without looking back.
Qu Qiuyan came to her senses as early as when Madam Ji woke up. She knew that she had miscalculated again. She was angry and resentful for a moment and just wanted to slip away quietly.
Hearing Qu Moying say this, the eyes of some pilgrims who were watching the excitement immediately fell on him, and their faces turned blue and white.
"So she is the third young lady of Minister Qu's mansion." Someone in the crowd said. Qu Moying mentioned her identity just now, the fourth young lady Qu, so this one must be the third young lady Qu.
"No wonder, it's this Third Miss who wants to harm Fourth Miss again." The last time Qu Qiuyan framed Qu Moying was also in the Great Compassion Temple.
Coincidentally, a few of them saw it on the spot.
"Of course, otherwise why did she say that just now? It sounded as if this Fourth Miss Qu was bound to get into trouble. How did she know that?"
"You have such a dark heart, yet you still want to be the daughter of a noble family."…
Some shook their heads, some sighed, and most of the talk was just the idle chatter of some women in the market. Even if Qu Qiuyan wanted to defend herself, she had no way to do so. Her face turned dark with anger, and she turned around and left with Qingju.
But these women in the market were disgusted by her viciousness when they saw her come out. There was no one else around at that time, so they deliberately bumped into her. Finally, she squeezed out of the crowd with great difficulty. Her hair was disheveled and her clothes were covered with several handprints by someone. She was so dirty that she was not presentable.
Qingju finally squeezed out and chased after him.
Outside the crowd, Aunt Qing turned around uneasily. It was inconvenient for her to follow them at this time. She just wanted to follow them from a distance. When she saw that Qu Qiuyan had already walked far away, she left. Just as she turned around a courtyard gate, she was suddenly hit hard from behind.
It got dark, and I fainted...
The Dabei Temple arranged a incense room for Madam Ji, where Aunt Xiang and the maids from the Ji mansion served her. They also called a monk who was familiar with medicine to take a look. The monk said that there was nothing wrong, she was just too frightened to have fainted. As for the other maid and Aunt Xiang, the monk didn't find anything either.
The old woman insisted that she fainted from crying. She felt a little dizzy when she went in, and then fainted after crying. In fact, she knew that she fainted from fear. She seemed to see the second young lady and heard her voice, but she didn't dare to say it. Anyway, the lady said so, so she just followed her instructions.
Aunt Xiang also said that she felt dizzy, and it was the same now. She touched her head and said that she seemed to have felt dizzy not long after coming in.
Not only did Madam Ji say so, but even the maid and Aunt Xiang said so. The people in the Ji Mansion immediately became dissatisfied and called the scoundrels aside one by one for interrogation. They were determined to find out why several people fainted at the same time. When Madam Ji fainted just now, she said it was related to them.
A few scoundrels cried out for justice, but they had no choice but to face the Ling'anbo Mansion. Although the Ling'anbo Mansion was a little weak now, it was still a huge force for them.
When everyone was having a great time, an old woman suddenly fell out from the crowd. Perhaps she fell too hard, but she fainted on the ground.
"The maidservant beside the third young lady?" Yu Dong had sharp eyes and noticed it immediately, and asked loudly.
"It's Miss Third's people. Why is Miss Third's people here? Did they send her to look for Miss?" Yuchun also came over, helped the old woman up, and patted her on the back. "Madame Qing, you came to look for our Miss, is there something wrong?"
Isn't Miss Qu San the one who wanted to harm Miss Qu Si just now? But there was no evidence at that time. The onlookers immediately pricked up their ears. Are they going to hear some evidence
There was a lot of noise here, which attracted a few scoundrels to look over. After seeing Madam Qing's appearance clearly, they immediately shouted and pointed fingers to prove: "It was her. She was the one who was secretly talking with Qian Li just now. It was Qian Li who took us to find the beauty and said that we would definitely find the beauty."
"Yes, it was Qian Li who came towards us, and this woman was there too."
"Qian Li, it turns out that you are the one who harmed us. You said that she was from your family. When did your family member become Miss Qu San?"...
One of the scoundrels punched "Brother Qian" hard and said, "No wonder you just said there was a beauty, a beauty, and you said you would take us to see the beauty. It turns out you had arranged it with someone."
The servants of Ji's house looked at Qian Li viciously, they realized that this man was the culprit. Two people came over and slapped Qian Li hard twice, which hurt so much that Qian Li couldn't even speak for a while.
At this time, Aunt Qing woke up slowly. Qu Moying walked slowly in front of her with a cold face: "Aunt Qing, could it really be you? If so, let's go and ask what happened. You, a servant, actually dared to collude with the evil and murder the master. You deserve to be killed!"
After saying that, he walked away. The crowd that was watching had a good impression of Miss Qu Si, who had just rescued Madam Ji, and they immediately dispersed on both sides.
Aunt Qing just woke up, and before she knew what was going on, she was dragged forward by Yu Dong. She stumbled and almost fell, and her mind is still in a daze...
