"You sent Qu Caiyue to the King of Wei's bed, but then you pushed the blame onto Ying girl. When did you have the illusion that Qu Caiyue is closer to you than Qu Moying?" Qu Zhizhen cursed in frustration, wishing he could beat this useless daughter to death.
A good move was ruined by her, and Qu Zhizhen wanted to strangle Qu Qiuyan to death.
Qu Qiuyan didn't expect Qu Zhizhen to be so angry. She moved backwards on the ground involuntarily, begging, "Father, father, I won't dare to do it again next time. I won't do it again."
She didn't dare to deny it. When Qu Caiyue was kept back by the lady, she knew something was wrong, so she stayed back on purpose and waited for Qu Zhizhen.
She had thought that her father would stand by her side no matter what, but she had not expected that her father would be so angry with her. Qu Qiuyan was really scared. Looking at Qu Zhizhen's twisted face, she dared not hide anything.
"Father, what's wrong?" A gentle voice came from behind. Qu Zhizhen calmed himself down, suppressed the anger on his face, turned around, and saw his son Qu Mingcheng walking slowly towards him, holding a book in his hand with a confused look on his face.
"Why are you here?" Qu Zhizhen said with a slightly annoyed look on his face. In the past, Qu Mingcheng was always in the East Palace at this time. He didn't want his son to be close to the Yu family, so he was very unhappy that his son was here.
Qu Mingcheng shook the book in his hand and said, "I want to find this book, but my uncle doesn't have it. He said my father has it, so I came to see what happened to my sister."
He glanced at Qu Qiuyan with surprise on his face.
"That's what your sister did!" Qu Zhizhen said angrily, waving his sleeves.
"Father, even if my sister really did something, please don't be angry. What if she gets sick from being angry? What can we do?" Qu Mingcheng gently comforted Qu Zhizhen.
Then he turned around to look at Qu Qiuyan and scolded in a low voice: "Third sister, how did you make father angry? Father loved you the most in the past. You must have done something to make father very angry, and you still don't apologize to father."
"Father, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me." Qu Qiuyan quickly wiped away her tears, raised her head and cried, choking and crying, "Father, I really, really don't know why this happened, my second sister... she... how could she change someone so suddenly, she... she..."
Having said this, Qu Qiuyan wanted to grab Hua Qu Caiyue's face. This bitch must have taken a fancy to King Jing and not King Wei, which is why she caused such a scene.
"Hmph, you still don't understand, get out." Qu Zhizhen didn't want to see her again. Seeing Qu Qiuyan's face was like seeing Yu. He didn't think that this mother and daughter were too similar in the past, but now he felt that they were mother and daughter after all, equally stupid, and both felt that everything was in their hands.
None of the royal children are simple. The King of Wei is so easy to scheme against.
Looking at the situation here, it is obvious that King Jing tried to plot against King Wei but failed, and was counterattacked by King Wei. This kind of thing is not a big deal for the two princes. At most, one of them will just have one more woman in his house, and she is of low rank, which will not even hurt the harmony between their brothers.
But what about this kind of thing for the Qu family
When Qu Zhizhen thought about the power involved, he became very angry.
"Father, father..." Qu Qiuyan wanted to explain.
Qu Mingcheng came over and helped her up: "Sister, go back and have a rest first, this matter
It's over now. What comes next is the most important thing. We need to think it through and not lose our composure again."
Yes, now it's not just Qu Caiyue's matter, but also King Jing's. What does King Jing mean? What should we do next? Qu Qiuyan was also at a loss. After standing up, she still held Qu Mingcheng's sleeve and said aggrievedly: "Brother..."
"Go back first!" Qu Mingcheng waved his hand and gestured.
Qu Qiuyan let go helplessly and looked at Qu Zhizhen with some timidity, not daring to say anything more. After bowing to Qu Zhizhen, she wiped her tears and went back crying.
"Father, don't be angry. This is actually an accident. My uncle has also heard about it. Please go over and discuss this matter with me."
Qu Mingcheng told Qu Zhizhen that when he came back from the East Palace, the Luo family was also furious and naturally knew about this.
"Your uncle is looking for me?" Qu Zhizhen asked in a deep voice, his expression slowly recovering.
"Yes." Qu Mingcheng said.
"Then let's go over there!" Qu Zhizhen nodded.
"Father, I have to go see Mother. I'll come back later." Qu Mingcheng said.
Qu Zhizhen was still very relieved about his son and only reminded him, "Come back after you have seen it. It is better for you to visit your mother less often."
"Yes, father, I know." Qu Mingcheng said obediently.
Qu Zhizhen said nothing more, turned around and hurried away to the East Palace. This matter really needed the two brothers to sit down and talk.
Watching Qu Zhizhen leave, Qu Mingcheng looked at him thoughtfully for a while, then left with the servant and went to Yu's yard.
Yu's yard was deserted, with a maid guarding the door. Everyone in the mansion knew that the second wife was finished, and was now just locked up in there, sick and waiting to die.
But as long as the Third Miss and the Second Young Master were around, everyone would still give them some face.
When the Second Young Master came over, the old woman guarding the gate did not dare to stop him. She stepped aside and saluted respectfully, then watched him go in with the servant. She did not really try to stop anyone.
Qu Mingcheng didn't stay at Yu's place for long. He came out after sitting for a while, turned at the courtyard gate, and went to Qu Moying's Qianpengju.
Upon hearing that Qu Mingcheng was coming, Qu Moying was stunned for a moment, but still went out to greet him.
In the yard, Qu Mingcheng stood quietly, his eyes falling on Qu Moying's face. He watched her slowly approach, smiled slightly, and took the initiative to say, "Fourth sister."
"Second brother." Qu Moying turned sideways and bowed.
"Can you walk with me?" Qu Mingcheng asked gently and politely. As a young man, he seemed quite friendly and his attitude towards Qu Moying was neither too close nor too distant.
"Okay!" Qu Moying smiled slightly and said softly.
The two of them found a small path and walked forward casually. Yu Dong followed closely behind Qu Moying.
"I heard that Fourth Sister was looking for some music scores before. What do you think of this one?" Qu Mingcheng handed over the hand he was holding.
Qu Moying took it, looked at the name on it, and a look of surprise appeared on his face for a moment: "Where did you find this?"
She had indeed been looking for this music score before. She heard from the lady that it was in the mansion, but she just couldn't find it. Of course, she didn't ask in Qu Zhizhen's study.
"I found it in my father's study. I heard that my fourth sister wanted it, so I brought it here." Qu Mingcheng answered gently.
Big, seems to be quite calm.
"Thank you, second brother." Qu Moying folded his sleeves and bowed.
"You don't have to be polite to your siblings." Qu Mingcheng said slowly, "I heard that something happened in the palace today. Is it related to my second and fourth sisters?"
"Yes." The smile on Qu Moying's face slowly faded, and the hand holding the book fell down.
"This matter should also be related to my sister, right?" Qu Mingcheng asked with a smile.
"Maybe!" Qu Moying responded generously and raised his eyes to look at his second brother. This was Qu Zhizhen's only son and also Yu's only son.
Compared to this adopted sister of his who was raised in the farm, they were a real family.
Qu Qiuyan's actions in this matter are obvious to everyone. No one would think that this matter has nothing to do with her just because she was not involved at the time.
"I apologize to you on her behalf. Please forgive her this time. I will definitely discipline her well in the future." Qu Mingcheng stood still and bowed deeply to Qu Moying.
Qu Moying dodged Qu Mingcheng's greeting with her body tilted, her watery eyes fell on Qu Mingcheng's face through the thin veil, and then she smiled slightly: "Second brother, whether I forgive you or not is a small matter, the important thing is not what happens next?"
"You are our sister, we share the same blood, so we are naturally a family. Family members don't need to hide anything from each other. We are always a family, and no matter how many problems there are, we will always help each other in the future." Qu Mingcheng smiled warmly.
Qu Moying looked at Qu Mingcheng thoughtfully. So he really came to apologize? But the meaning behind his words was not so peaceful.
Helping each other? She and Qu Qiuyan
"Brother, you are too polite. What happened in the palace today has become such a mess. Now it is no longer up to our Qu Mansion to decide. It depends on what His Royal Highness Prince Jing wants. Brother, I am also tired and need to go back to rest. Thank you for finding this music score for me."
Qu Moying smiled, bowed sideways, turned around and walked back.
Leaving Qu Mingcheng where he was, this second brother came just in time. When he was almost burned to death, he didn't see this second brother. When he was framed by Yu's mother and daughter, he didn't see this second brother. But now he has this second brother. He came just in time.
No matter what, with this attitude of his now, he will win the favor of his cheap father and grandmother.
The legitimate son of the West Mansion is no ordinary person. Even though he is the same age as Qu Qiuyan, he feels like he is several years older than Qu Qiuyan.
It's just that this second brother came in a strange way. Is he... losing his temper? Didn't everything that happened before have nothing to do with him
East Palace and West Palace, Qu Zhizhen doesn't like Qu Mingcheng to follow Yu. Qu Zhizhen almost grew up in East Palace, and he was not close to Yu in the past, but no matter how close they were, she was still his biological mother. Qu Qiuyan was his biological sister, different from himself, the fourth sister who showed up halfway.
If you can't see through such a person, you should be more careful and never misjudge him again. The music score in his hand shook, and the corners of his lips curled up silently. This is indeed a thoughtful person. He actually knew such a small thing. I just asked someone to look for it that day, and he actually knew it.
Seeing Qu Moying walk away without paying attention, Qu Mingcheng was not angry. He looked at Qu Moying's receding back in silence for a long time before turning around and telling the servant, "Go check on the third sister."
