Early the next morning, Qu Moying got up and went to greet the lady.
After paying his respects, he did not leave but chatted with the lady for a while. The lady was not in a good mood and looked depressed.
I know that she is worried about Qu Caiyue. This matter was caused by Qu Caiyue herself. But until now, there is only one sentence that King Jing said when the incident happened that day. There has been no further news since then. However, there are already rumors outside about the second young lady of the Qu family.
The words get more and more unpleasant!
Luo was so angry that she complained to the lady dowager several times. Such an incident would definitely affect Qu Xuexin's marriage. Now was the time for Luo to find a good marriage for Qu Xuexin. The family that had been previously engaged just wanted to take a look, but she didn't expect that this time the family would directly say that they had already found someone good, or that there were many inconveniences or something like that.
Although her excuse was polite, the meaning of her words was obvious. She was disgusted with the girl named Qu who was so lowly as to climb into the bed of Prince Jing. Her current status as a concubine was unclear, and the disgust of Prince Jing's mansion was also obvious. It was also heard that the imperial concubine in the palace wanted to give Qu Caiyue the status of a maid.
If a young lady from a noble family really ends up being a maid like this, it would be better for her to die to avoid being embarrassed.
The lady was also very angry, but she couldn't really take Qu Caiyue's life.
There has been no response from Prince Jing's Mansion, nor has anyone been sent to explain, so the Qu Mansion can only wait. After all, no matter how you look at it, this was Qu Caiyue's own doing. Although Qu Caiyue kept saying that this was really an accident, the Lady Dowager didn't believe it, and neither did anyone else.
It's not necessarily true that King Jing fell in love with Qu Caiyue and gave up Qu Qiuyan, which led to this accident
"Madam, the third young lady is here to pay her respects." A maid came in to report.
The lady nodded and said, "Let her in!"
It was already quite late, and the lady was in no mood to argue with her.
Qu Qiuyan walked in. It had only been a few days, but she looked much more haggard and thinner. She was very perfunctory in paying her respects to the lady. After paying her respects, she stood up and looked up at Qu Moying. She was stunned for a moment, and a hint of hatred immediately appeared in the corner of her eyes.
He poured out all his anger on Qu Moying.
It was clearly Qu Moying who plotted, and the one who got into trouble was also Qu Moying to blame. Why did Qu Caiyue and King Jing end up being together? Even though she didn't have the chance to ask Qu Caiyue privately, she knew that Qu Moying must have been behind this. However, she had no evidence, and she could only grit her teeth in hatred, but had to swallow her anger.
Nanny Qing told her that she had to be more patient now, but she really couldn't bear it any longer.
She came to pay her respects these days because, on the one hand, she was too lazy to get up early, and on the other hand, she didn't want to see Qu Moying, so she came late on purpose, fearing that she would be unable to control herself when she saw Qu Moying.
Qu Caiyue has been put under the care of her uncle, and no one is allowed to visit her. Everything she knows now is based on guesswork, but one thing is certain: it is all Qu Moying's fault, causing her to fall into this dilemma. She has secretly left the house several times, but has never seen Pei Yusheng once.
I had believed it before, but now I feel nervous.
"Third sister." Seeing her looking at him, Qu Moying smiled slightly and saluted generously.
.
"How dare you..." Qu Qiuyan had been anxious and angry these days, and the words came out of her mouth. When she saw the gloomy look from the lady, she quickly stopped talking, tried hard to calm down her anger, and asked, "Fourth sister, the second sister left with you that day. What happened? Why did the second sister get into trouble, but you were fine?"
Qu Qiuyan couldn't help but ask.
The smile on Qu Moying's face slowly faded, "What do you mean, Third Sister? Why should I get into trouble when Second Sister gets into trouble? I don't have any ideas, and I won't enter the house in Concubine Qu's palace casually, so why did something go wrong? Did Third Sister know something? Grandmother happens to be here too, Third Sister, just tell me what you know, and let Grandmother judge. Why do you think I deserve to get into trouble?"
The old lady was a little unhappy about the relationship between the two sisters, but there was something interesting in Qu Moying's words, which made her frown. She looked at Qu Qiuyan but did not say anything to stop her.
Could it be that this matter is not seen on the surface? However, the second girl insisted that it was an accident, and the lady could not ask anything.
"Fourth sister, what did you say? I don't understand. Are you saying that I know something and want to harm you? Since you came back home, you have been hinting that mother and I want to harm you. If we wanted to harm you, how could you have been safe all these years? What on earth do you think of mother and me?"
Qu Qiuyan retorted, her eyes stern and angry.
Qu Moying has been living well, which means her mother has never harmed her. As for those unsuccessful cases, Qu Qiuyan believes that Yu should have dealt with them cleanly after so many years. Qu Moying was still young at that time, so she doesn't believe that she was so cunning at that time.
"Third sister, since you said so, I will ask you directly, why are you and Madam so intolerant of me? It was like this in front of the Crown Princess's coffin, and now it's like this? Before, they even pretended to recognize my parents, and they found a couple to be my parents? As for why I am still alive today, I can only say that I am lucky. Apart from other things, the fire after returning to the mansion didn't burn me to death. Isn't that lucky?"
Qu Moying said in a cold voice, his eyes fell coldly on Qu Qiuyan through the veil. Qu Qiuyan couldn't bear it anymore, that's good, looking at King Jing's behavior that day, he must know that he had no intention of coaxing Qu Qiuyan at this time. Qu Qiuyan had a hard time in the past few days, and now that she saw that she was living well, she could no longer bear the anger in her heart.
very good!
This was exactly the effect she wanted. She wanted the old lady to see clearly that Qu Qiuyan had never had any good intentions towards her and that everything was just a whitewash of peace.
Since Qu Qiuyan has already taken action, just tear apart that false family affection!
"You... How dare you say that..." Qu Qiuyan only thought of the past. Yu Shi would not leave any traces, but she did not think about the recent events. There were traces everywhere. She gritted her teeth, her eyes became red, and she turned her head to look at the lady. Tears fell down in grievance. "Grandmother, look at her. What does she mean? Has she always been dissatisfied with my mother and me? I have always treated her as a sister..."
"Sisters? Then the third sister said without saying anything just now that it was me who should be in trouble. The third sister felt that the second sister should not be in trouble, and it was me who should be in trouble? I don't know who the third sister was talking to about this so-called sisterly love. As for the fire back then, I almost died there. Was it really just a maid's thing?"
Qu Moying raised his head and his eyes fell on Qu Qiuyan's face. He did not flinch or avoid and spoke directly to her.
There was no grievance at all, but the feeling of being wronged made people feel even more chilling. If Qu Qiuyan really did it, then Qu Qiuyan's cruelty was no less than Yu's.
The lady choked. Although she thought it was all Yu's fault, what if Qu Qiuyan really intervened? After all, that girl was Qu Qiuyan's personal maid, and she also saw that Qu Qiuyan was full of hostility towards Qu Moying. Did she really have a sisterly affection for Qu Moying
Seeing that the lady had been silent and gloomy, Qu Qiuyan knew something was wrong. She hadn't been able to hold back and had made her grandmother suspicious. Her legs softened and she knelt down, "Grandma, what happened back then is in the past. I'm talking about the present. My second sister suddenly got into trouble, and I...how can I not worry? My second sister was with my fourth sister when she got into trouble."
Qu Moying looked coldly at the panicked Qu Qiuyan, "Third sister, so you think it's better for me to get into trouble than for the second sister to get into trouble, and I am the one who is most likely to get into trouble at this time?"
The lady's expression, which had been somewhat relaxed, immediately became tense again. Qu Moying was her most beloved granddaughter, how could she be compared to Qu Caiyue.
He slapped his hand heavily on the table: "Yan girl, what do you want to say?"
"Grandma, I'm really just worried about my second sister." Qu Qiuyan explained in a panic. She didn't expect things to get to this point. If she had known that she would be in a weak position, she would never have taken the initiative to make trouble.
I came here in a hurry today and didn't expect to meet Qu Moying. Everything was too unexpected.
"Third sister, don't talk about the second sister's matter. You should be more worried about His Royal Highness Prince Jing!" Qu Moying said bluntly, "I heard that the third sister has secretly left the house to look for him several times."
I guess Qu Qiuyan sneaked out these few times to meet King Jing.
"What?" The old lady really didn't know about this. When she heard it, her eyes were stern. When Qu Qiuyan and King Jing were together before, they were seen by others, which was something they could not help. They could also explain it as they happened to meet, one was the host and the other was the guest, and they just walked a few steps when they met.
But what does the current situation matter? What King Jing wants to give Qu Caiyue is a status. What does it have to do with Qu Qiuyan? Even if King Jing had feelings for Qu Qiuyan before, it is inappropriate to behave like this now.
"Third girl, did you really go to see Prince Jing?" The lady was furious and asked in disbelief, her voice trembling.
“Grandma, I… I…” Qu Qiuyan didn’t dare to lie. If the old lady went to check, she would definitely find out that the coachman who sent her there that day was from the mansion.
"You...you...how can you be so confused." The lady was so angry that her face turned pale and she was out of breath. It was always the man who came to the woman's house to ask for marriage, but how could someone with no status go to the woman's house, and the woman had such an unclear relationship with the sisters in the house.
If Prince Jing really wanted to, he would come to the house naturally, and he would also solve Qu Caiyue's problem well. After all, Qu Caiyue is just a concubine's daughter. But what's the matter with Qu Qiuyan coming to the house now? Is she planning to throw the reputation of the entire Qu family at the feet of Prince Jing and let him trample on it at will
Seeing how angry the old lady was, Qu Moying hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted her on the back, asking her to catch her breath, fearing that she might suffocate.
