Not long after Qu Moying went in, she came out wearing a light lotus-colored dress with a light green belt. The skirt was divided into eight pieces, which were tied around her slender waist, with the other eight pieces fluttering under the skirt. Even though it was the lightest color, when she wore it, she looked like a fairy dancing in the wind. With the veil around her eyes, she actually had a unique beauty.
This feeling made Qu Xuexin very uncomfortable. A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. She slowly lowered her head before regaining her composure.
In front of the sisters in the mansion, her appearance was very ordinary. But now, even a blind man with bound eyes could make her see some frail beauty, which was really uncomfortable.
Fortunately, her emotions have always been stable, and after calming down a little, she returned to normal.
The two sisters went to Qu Mingcheng's yard together.
Qu Mingcheng naturally has a yard in the west courtyard. Although he lives directly in the east palace most of the time, the place is kept very tidy, and his study is also here.
His courtyard was close to the Chuihua Gate, but outside it.
The two of them went out of the hanging flower gate, turned a corner and arrived at the courtyard. When the servant saw the two young ladies coming, he hurried in to report.
In the inner room of the main house, Qu Mingcheng was lying there prone. He had already been given medicine. Although he was still in great pain and had no strength at all, he could basically bear it.
Qu Qiuyan was talking to him, talking about Madam He. Just as she was getting angry, she heard the servant say that Qu Moying had come. Qu Qiuyan said unhappily, "What are you talking about? I won't see you!"
The servant looked at Qu Mingcheng lying on the bed in panic and did not dare to respond.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you get down!" Qu Qiuyan got angry and shouted angrily, scaring the servant.
"There's no need to do this, sister. Everyone who comes is a guest. Besides, they come to see me. You can't just chase them away. Father is already angry with me before, and you can't make him angry at this time." Qu Mingcheng analyzed to Qu Qiuyan, suppressing the pain.
"But I hate her. Why doesn't she just die? Now even my mother has fallen into this state. It's all her fault!" Qu Qiuyan said arrogantly.
This sounds reasonable, but upon closer thought, it is the theory of a robber. The one who harms others should not get into trouble, and if the victim resists, he will be hated instead.
It's both vicious and ironic.
"Okay, now that she's here, let her in. We can't let father scold us again. Mother is already in trouble, so we two should be more careful and not make father angry again." Qu Mingcheng warned.
Qu Qiuyan was silent for a while after hearing this, and finally said in a hateful voice: "Go, let them in. They are being too attentive without any reason, and they are thieves without any adultery!"
The servant retreated, and soon Qu Xuexin and Qu Moying came in.
"How is your injury, second brother?" As soon as Qu Xuexin entered the room, she took two steps forward with concern and spoke to Qu Mingcheng who was lying on the bed before Qu Moying.
The curtains on the bed had been drawn, and only Qu Mingcheng's neck was exposed.
Seeing the two people coming in, Qu Mingcheng showed a smile on his pale face: "Big sister, fourth sister, you are here, I am fine!"
"What on earth is wrong with you? How did you make Second Uncle so angry that it got to this point? Second Uncle has never hit you like this in all these years!"
These words made Qu Mingcheng feel gloomy. He still didn't understand why Qu Zhizhen hit him. Even if it was because he went to He's house on his own initiative, he shouldn't have hit him.
He was so angry. He also saw his father's attitude towards Qu Moying in the past. It was obvious that he didn't care.
That was because he was implicated and imprisoned in the Western Prison. The Prince of Yun must be difficult to deal with. His father suffered a loss in his dealings with him, so he took out his anger on himself. However, this still could not explain why he was so angry.
"My father felt ashamed when I was taken to the West Prison, so he got angry." Qu Mingcheng thought for a moment and reluctantly explained.
Qu Qiuyan snorted coldly and looked at Qu Moying standing behind with an angry look. She said in a sarcastic tone, "It's rare for the fourth sister to come visit brother."
Qu Moying had just been standing quietly by the side. When she heard him mentioned, she raised her eyes and glanced at Qu Qiuyan: "I don't understand what Third Sister said. Do you think I shouldn't come to visit Second Brother?"
Qu Qiuyan choked at the question and suddenly stared at Qu Moying: "What does Fourth Sister mean?"
"I didn't mean anything. I just came to see second brother's injuries. Now that I see second brother is fine, I feel relieved. I'll leave now, so as not to make third sister unhappy again." Qu Moying said as he turned around and was about to leave.
Qu Xuexin quickly turned around and grabbed her hand: "Since Fourth Sister is here, why don't you sit down and talk? You can't just start talking right after you get here."
After saying this, Qu Xuexin advised Qu Qiuyan: "Third sister, calm down. Second brother's problem cannot be blamed on fourth sister. Why are you angry, third sister?"
No matter what time it is, this Miss Qu is always a peacemaker, kind-hearted, dignified, gentle and decent. Judging from the personalities of the young ladies in the Qu family, this one seems to be the best.
"Third sister, apologize to fourth sister." Qu Mingcheng's face straightened and he reprimanded Qu Qiuyan in a low voice.
"Brother!" Qu Qiuyan refused, her eyes reddened.
"Third sister, don't be willful!" Qu Mingcheng's face was still stern, and he looked ruthless and impartial.
Seeing that he was actually helping Qu Moying, and seeing that Qu Moying was looking at her with a smile, Qu Qiuyan could no longer bear it. She stomped her feet hard, turned around and ran out with grievance.
"Fourth sister, don't be angry. Third sister is a little willful and has a deep relationship with mother. She has some misunderstandings about fourth sister. When I get better, I will definitely persuade third sister." Qu Mingcheng sighed helplessly, then said to Qu Moying.
This second brother seems to be really selfless. Qu Moying sneered secretly. Since he had done such a ruthless thing at that time, what does it mean for him to express reconciliation at this time
But since the words have come to this point, she couldn't remain indifferent, and smiled slightly: "How is the injury of the second brother?"
"Maybe I need to lie down for a while." Qu Mingcheng smiled bitterly, "When I went to He's house before, I was afraid that Fourth Sister would stop me, so I went directly. But I was also afraid that Fourth Sister would misunderstand, so I sent someone to give Fourth Sister a gift and explain the matter to her. I didn't expect it to end up like this. It's all my fault."
Qu Mingcheng smiled bitterly and spoke very sincerely. If Qu Moying had not been so determined, he would have misunderstood whether he was really wrong and thought that he had misunderstood his second brother.
In two lifetimes, Qu Moying seemed fragile, but in fact she was determined. How could she be led astray by his few words
"Since second brother is fine, I won't bother him anymore!" Qu Moying smiled slightly and said indifferently, narrowing her eyes slightly with a sneer in her eyes. They really think of themselves as ignorant weak girls in the boudoir.
this
It is really too ridiculous to say that black is reversed to white and white is reversed to black.
"Fourth sister..." Qu Mingcheng wanted to say something else, but he saw Qu Moying had turned and left without even caring about his second brother. His face suddenly turned cold.
Qu Xuexin reached out to grab Qu Moying's clothes, but she dodged it by moving aside. When she wanted to reach out again, Qu Moying was already at the door, and she could only watch her leave.
"Second brother, don't be angry. Fourth sister is just like that. After all, she grew up in the farm and hasn't been together since childhood, so her feelings for her have faded a little." Seeing Qu Mingcheng's face gloomy, Qu Xuexin persuaded him softly like a peacemaker.
Qu Mingcheng glanced at her and his expression softened: "Sister, how is my cousin doing?"
He actually stopped mentioning Qu Moying.
He had been in the East Mansion before and had a very good relationship with Qu Xuexin, almost like real siblings.
"He...maybe he thinks Fourth Sister is better!" Qu Xuexin lowered her head and said bitterly, then raised her head again, hiding the grievance behind her eyes, "It's okay, just do as you please, this kind of thing can't be forced, and besides, I'm always a girl in seclusion, I can't really go up and say anything to my cousin!"
"If it weren't for the second sister, the eldest sister wouldn't have come to this point. Although cousin Xiao is not the best choice right now, he is better than others after all. If the eldest sister finds it difficult to speak up, I will talk to him and ask him to ask grandmother for marriage." Qu Mingcheng supported the edge of the bed with his hand, as if he wanted to sit up, but he felt a sharp pain again and could only lie down again.
"Let's not talk about this!" Qu Xuexin shook her hand.
"Sister, I'll speak for you!" Qu Mingcheng became more sincere.
"But there is still Fourth Sister... If Fourth Sister finds out about this, how will I be able to meet her again?" Qu Xuexin still shook her head, although she seemed much more hesitant than before.
Seeing her expression, Qu Mingcheng knew that she was already somewhat moved, and said, "Sister, whether the marriage will be successful or not does not only depend on our family's opinion, but also on cousin Xiao's opinion. Don't worry, sister, I know what's going on."
Xiao Hanyuan will come over soon, just wipe him yourself.
"Fourth sister has done nothing wrong, we can't let her... This reason is unacceptable." Qu Xuexin was still trying to refuse, she was worried and forced a smile: "After all, we are sisters. Doing this... will ruin the sisterhood. Even if Fourth sister is wrong, she is still the youngest sister in our house!"
"Don't worry, big sister. I'm just asking. I won't say anything more. If my cousin really has no intention, I won't mention it again!" Qu Mingcheng already had an idea in his mind and said meaningfully.
The two talked for a while, and heard someone outside say, "Young Master Cousin is here!"
Qu Xuexin blushed and stood up: "Second brother, I'm going back first!"
"Sister, please go first and go check on my third sister for me. If she doesn't change her temper, she will suffer in the future!" Qu Mingcheng said.
Qu Xuexin nodded in agreement and came out of the house. She ran into Xiao Hanyuan who was coming from the opposite direction. She immediately stopped shyly and bowed sideways, "Cousin!"
"Cousin, why don't you sit for a while?" Xiao Hanyuan asked gently when he saw her coming out.
"No, I still have something to do with my two sisters." Qu Xuexin replied softly, then bowed to Xiao Hanyuan and left with a slightly blushing face.
Behind her, Xiao Hanyuan looked at her with a look of lingering affection...
