"Grandma, we are really at Tangguozi's place..." Qu Caiyue was a little flustered and explained hurriedly, but her eyes were wandering and it didn't look real.
"Madam, take the Third Miss away and make her kneel in the yard." The lady said coldly.
Qu Caiyue's face turned pale and she looked at Qu Qiuyan for help, but Qu Qiuyan lowered her head and ignored her.
"Miss San, please come in!" Wu Ma walked up to Qu Caiyue and said coldly. This Miss San really didn't have much vision. Didn't she see that Miss Da and Miss Er didn't dare to speak? She, a concubine's daughter, dared to make up lies in front of the Madam and fooled her.
Qu Caiyue's face was pale and her body was trembling, but she did not dare to question it. She walked out of the house, and then knelt down in the yard with a plop.
"Xin girl, speak!" The lady said coldly to the other two granddaughters in the room.
"Grandma, we really did want to buy some candy, but... it was a little far from the kite stall. I didn't expect Fourth Sister to leave..." Qu Xuexin bit her lip and said, then looked at Qu Moying and bowed sideways, "Fourth Sister, I was wrong just now. I didn't expect Fourth Sister to panic when she was out for the first time and was unfamiliar with the place."
This was said very sincerely, without any intention of exonerating herself. The lady's face looked a little better, and she asked again: "Who proposed it?"
Qu Xuexin subconsciously looked at Qu Qiuyan, and seeing that Qu Qiuyan had been looking down at the ground, she bit her lip and said, "Grandma, it wasn't someone who suggested it. Everyone just talked about the candy here, saying it was better than the one in the mansion, and then...then we all went over there together."
She said this very politely, but her actions just now were clearly seen by the Madam. Needless to say, Qu Xuexin was helping Qu Qiuyan to cover up. For a moment, she almost laughed out loud and pointed at Qu Qiuyan: "Yan girl, tell me, who proposed this?"
"Well... I don't seem to know either, that's what everyone says." Qu Qiuyan was also a little panicked. Qu Caiyue heard what she said and came in to block the lady's anger. She didn't expect that the lady's anger was so great that she actually made Qu Caiyue kneel directly in the yard.
There are many pilgrims here and the courtyard wall is low. If the lady also asks me to kneel down and leave, how can I save my dignity
He secretly hated Qu Caiyue for being so stupid and causing himself to be embarrassed. But when he heard what Qu Xuexin said, he immediately followed her words and refused to admit it.
"You really don't know whose fault it is?" the lady asked again.
"Grandma, I... I really don't know... Everyone was talking about it at the time, and I can't remember who said it. It could have been me, or it could have been my eldest sister." Qu Qiuyan defended in a low voice, not very confident.
When Qu Xuexin heard Qu Qiuyan talking about her, her body trembled, but she did not deny it. She looked up at the lady and said, "Grandma, this will never happen again. I will definitely protect my fourth sister in the future. If you want to punish me, punish me. I am the oldest. I took my sisters out, but my fourth sister got lost!"
Seeing that her eldest granddaughter was very responsible and did not shirk her responsibility, the old lady glared at Qu Qiuyan with disappointment, but did not let Qu Qiuyan kneel down with her.
As soon as Qu Moying saw the situation, she knew what the old lady was worried about. The old lady also knew that Prince Jing was interested in Qu Qiuyan. Although she didn't necessarily think it was a good idea for Qu Qiuyan to marry into Prince Jing's mansion, it was not convenient to humiliate Qu Qiuyan too much at this time. After all, who could predict what would happen in the future
This matter was obviously related to Qu Qiuyan, but Qu Xuexin admitted her fault, and Qu Caiyue did not dare to identify Qu Qiuyan.
There is nothing to check about people.
The matter had been clarified, and there was no point in asking further. Fortunately, nothing serious had happened. The lady scolded the two granddaughters separately, asked them to apologize to Qu Moying, and then gave them a few more instructions before letting them go back.
After Qu Moying returned to her courtyard, she sent Yu Dong out. After a while, Yu Dong hurried in to report: "Miss, the young man we met before actually met me just now."
"Where?" Qu Moying put down the tea bowl in his hand, his eyes turned cold. It happened again and again, what a coincidence!
"Just now, when I came out from my nanny's place, I saw someone over there. I saw it was that young master. He was accompanied by only a servant and looked very sneaky." Yu Dong said.
She had just gone to the Madam's yard because Qu Moying wanted to ask about her diet and her so-called old illness. It was not convenient to ask directly in front of the Madam, so it would be best to let Yudong ask my nanny in private. Unexpectedly, she saw a sneaky figure in the distance.
Yu Dong has always had a good eyesight, and although he was a little far away, he still saw the person clearly. He originally thought that the young man might be a coincidence, but now that he appeared here, it was not just a coincidence.
"Do you see him on our side or on the other side?" Qu Moying asked again. The so-called other side was Qu Qiuyan's side.
"He's on our side, watching us from afar. I don't know if he will come over now. Miss, do you want me to go and take a look and ask him clearly what the meaning of him following us is?" Yu Dong said angrily.
He doesn't look like a lecher, but his behavior is certainly that of a lecher. I don't know which family this playboy belongs to, but he actually followed me here. What would happen if someone saw him
"No need to go. If you go, people will think I asked you to go." Qu Moying shook his head and refused.
"That's right, young lady!" Yu Dong understood immediately and nodded repeatedly. He forgot that he was a maid at the moment. When a maid interacted with others, it was easy for people to misunderstand that it was a young lady interacting with others. Whether he saw himself or the young lady, it was actually the same. "So what should I do now? Let him look at me like this?"
"Let's wait and talk about it first. This matter can't fall on me now." Qu Moying said lightly, with a hint of depth in his watery eyes. If he guessed correctly, this series of events were instigated by Yu and Qu Qiuyan, and Qu Caiyue was just a person who took action.
What made her suspicious was how Yu managed to make her grandmother sick at this time.
Only because her grandmother was ill would she sit with Qu Caiyue, and only then would Qu Caiyue be kind enough to send her clothes. As for everything that followed, it was all natural.
Otherwise, I would have followed the lady out. If I had followed the lady out, I would not have met this person, let alone attracted people over, and of course, the following events would not have happened.
Everything has been planned so carefully, does Yu have such great ability
Long illness makes a good doctor, not to mention that there is Aunt Miao by her side. Qu Moying just felt the pulse of the old lady. The pulse was stagnant and difficult to flow. She was indeed sick. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was an old illness. But how could this old illness happen so coincidentally? After so many things, Qu Moying would not believe that this was really just a coincidence.
There are many coincidences in this world that are completely deliberately calculated by others.
If it's not a real coincidence, then Yu's ability is really great...
"Miss,
I think these things must be related to the Second Young Lady." Seeing her silent, Yu Dong said.
Qu Moying was not concerned about this. She glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Do you know this lady?"
The lady just now is Ji Youran.
"I haven't seen her, but I have heard that she is a cousin of the Crown Princess and is very familiar with the Crown Prince. This time, she took advantage of the Crown Princess' serious illness to enter the East Palace. I'm afraid it's not just to take care of her." Yu Dong sorted out some of the things he knew and said.
Some of them were spread from outside, and some were his guesses.
According to his guess, this concubine was not simple and did not seem to be a good person. Her statement that she took care of the sick Crown Princess was a little false.
"Why do you think so?" Qu Moying asked with interest.
"Miss, I don't think these so-called things about taking care of a sick sister are true." Yu Dong now regarded Qu Moying as his real master, so he didn't worry about anything. "I heard that the Crown Princess is very ill and does need someone to take care of her, but there are so many people around her, can't they take care of her? And they want a cousin to come to the mansion to take care of her. Looking at the appearance of this concubine, it doesn't seem like she would really take care of others, otherwise why would she run so far at this time."
"What do you think she came to Dabei Temple for?" Qu Moying's heart moved.
"I think he must have come up the mountain to play under the pretext of begging for blessings from the Crown Princess." Yu Dong said indifferently.
"So, the prince will come too?" Qu Moying curled his lips, his face grim.
"She should have come, otherwise this concubine wouldn't dare to come out. After all, she entered the Eastern Palace to take care of the Crown Princess." Yu Dong said, and then he seemed to be talking to himself, "I heard that Concubine He also entered the palace to take care of the sick Empress Yuan. Later, Empress Yuan died, and Concubine He gave birth to Prince Jing."
Qu Moying suddenly laughed. Yu Dong's words reminded her that this matter was indeed worth learning from. It was heard that when Empress Yuan was alive, she was also ill, so Concubine He went into the palace to serve her. After Empress Yuan recovered from her illness, Concubine He was successfully promoted to concubine. Later, Empress Yuan was banished to the cold palace, but Concubine He was still fine and even gave birth to Prince Jing.
I heard that the emperor loved the empress very much and that she was sent to the cold palace because of a frame-up. However, no one expected that the empress would die in the cold palace. After that, the emperor gave all his love to Concubine He. Therefore, Prince Jing was able to be compared with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Speaking of which, isn’t this just another example of reference
There was no smile in his eyes, and a sinister and murderous aura was revealed!
"You go and watch the door. If anyone comes making a fuss, bring them over." Qu Moying tried hard to calm down the anger in his heart, and stood up and walked to the window. At this time, dinner had not yet arrived and it was still early. Some pilgrims who did not stay overnight had not left yet. It was the best time.
"Yes, I know!" Yu Dong understood and turned to leave the house.
Yu Chun, on the other hand, looked confused. After all, she was not like Qu Moying and Yu Dong, who knew what they said immediately. Fortunately, after thinking for a while, she couldn't figure it out, so Yu Chun didn't bother with it and just focused on serving the young lady. Anyway, the young lady was so smart that she would definitely arrange things well.
Sure enough, they didn't wait long. After a while, they heard a commotion outside. Qu Moying asked Yuchun to cover her eyes again and waited quietly for them to come over...
