"You...you go back and reflect on your mistakes, and copy the female rules several times." The lady slammed the table angrily.
“Grandma… I… I’m just worried… I’m scared… I’m worried…” Qu Qiuyan burst into tears, feeling very aggrieved.
“What a shame, what a shame, you…you…you go down first!” The old lady was too weak to say anything else. She just felt dizzy. Qu Caiyue’s matter had not been resolved yet, and now there was Qu Qiuyan’s matter. The old lady had a headache. If people found out, these two granddaughters would have to enter Prince Jing’s Mansion, and both of them would have low positions.
Qu Caiyue is fine, as she was never liked by the Lady Dowager, and she was also a concubine's daughter of the East Palace. But Qu Qiuyan is different, as she is also the legitimate daughter of the Minister's Mansion.
It's a bit too high to be Princess Jing with this status, but it's not completely impossible. My second son also said that as long as I plan well, I can become Princess Jing. But now... What's going on now
Qu Qiuyan was taken away crying. Looking at her leaving, the old lady felt that she should have a good talk with her second son. After hearing what her second son said, she was originally against it, but she could not stand her second son's repeated remarks that Prince Jing fell in love with his third granddaughter at first sight, and that Prince Jing was a polite man and would not do anything disrespectful.
But what does this mean now? Does it mean that my family must send my daughter to Prince Jing's Mansion
"Grandma, please take a rest first and take care of yourself." Qu Moying walked behind the old lady and said softly. It was obvious that the old lady was really sad.
But even if this matter is not brought to light now, it will eventually be brought to light. Qu Qiuyan has no chance of getting the position of Princess Jing, and may not even get the position of a concubine. Pei Yusheng will have the final say on how badly she will end up. The lady-in-waiting is being kept in the dark now, and it will be even more unacceptable when she finds out.
"I'm fine." The lady shook her head with a bitter smile, her eyes slowly closed, and she leaned weakly on the chair behind her, muttering, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
"Grandma, I should have told you about this earlier, but you have been..." Qu Moying knelt in front of the old lady, put his hand on her knees, and lowered his head. "I just argued with her and was angry for a while. Please forgive me, grandma!"
"You child... get up!" The lady opened her eyes and looked at her. She looked a little tired and listless, but her face was kind. She reached out and pulled her up.
Qu Moying grabbed the old lady's hand and said, "Grandma, no matter what time it is, you still have me."
Grandmother was the person she truly wanted to protect, the only so-called "relative" in this mansion whom she wanted to protect.
"Good child." The lady's eyes were slightly red. She reached out and held her slender body in her arms, patted her back, and gently comforted her, "I'm fine, don't worry."
“Girl Ying, I know that Yu is not a good person. She failed to teach girl Yan. She is a little selfish and has no regard for a woman's dignity. But she is... your sister after all. Even if you don't want to be with her, at least you have to maintain your dignity in front of others..." The lady said with difficulty, her voice choked with sobs. If she had known that Yu was such a troublemaker, she would never have let her in.
Or even if she did enter the palace, she would only be a lowly concubine. No matter how much trouble she made, she would never be promoted to the position of the principal wife. How could something like this happen now
"Grandma, don't be sad. I will do it. I was just too angry just now and couldn't control myself for a moment." Qu Moying said.
These words made the old lady burst into tears. This scene was somewhat similar to hers. She thought of Yu and Yue in the past. Yue had also been so compromising, but in the end, she ended up like this. Thinking of this, the old lady could no longer bear it and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"Ying girl, if grandma finds out that she really harmed you maliciously, like her mother, grandma will not forgive her." said the lady.
After saying this, he felt even more sad. If he had been so tough at the beginning, Yue might not have had to leave the house in grievance. It was because Yu said that Yue deliberately caused her to give birth prematurely. But in fact, twins are basically born prematurely, and it is no one's fault.
But her son listened to Yu's words and kept blaming Yue. He even got furious and wanted to divorce Yue. She had no choice but to let Yue take shelter temporarily in a nunnery. Unexpectedly, this was the place where Yue died. Now seeing Qu Moying in front of her, how could the lady not be sad
This motherless child is so pitiful. If Yue was still alive, Qu Qiuyan would never dare to be so arrogant, not to mention that Yu would step on this child's head.
Qu Qiuyan returned to Furong Pavilion crying. As soon as she came back, she lost her temper and smashed several pieces of porcelain in the room. The maids and old women in the room didn't even dare to breathe. They were all trembling with fear, fearing that she would be taken out on them.
A second-class maid walked to the door and winked at Qingju inside. Qingju was at a loss, so she nodded and waved her hand. All the maids and maids in the room retreated. The maid came in with a cup of tea and placed the tea in front of Qu Qiuyan with a smile.
"Miss Third, why did you come back in such a state? I heard that you were asked to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors." The maidservant beside the lady had just sent someone to keep an eye on Qu Qiuyan when she came back. When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she also specifically instructed Qingju, which made Qu Qiuyan feel even more embarrassed.
"It's all that bitch Qu Moying's fault." Qu Qiuyan wiped the tears from her face vigorously and said hatefully.
"Fourth Miss? Didn't you say to avoid Fourth Miss these days? How did Third Miss bump into Fourth Miss?" the old woman asked puzzledly.
"Madam Qing, I did as you said and deliberately avoided her, fearing that I would not be able to control myself when I saw her. But today it was not me who avoided her. She was the one who deliberately waited there to cause trouble, saying that I wanted something to happen to her and not to that idiot Qu Caiyue." Qu Qiuyan hated her even more when she mentioned this.
His teeth were clacking.
She wished Qu Moying would appear in front of her right now and smash her face.
"Miss Third, since you knew that Miss Fourth did it on purpose, why did you still bump into her?" Nanny Qing asked with a smile.
"I... I was just angry at the time..." Qu Qiuyan lowered her head.
"Miss Third, no matter how angry you are, you can't be like this. Miss Fourth is not easy to deal with. Just think about Madam and you will understand. If Madam had listened to me at that time, she wouldn't have fallen to this point now." Madam Qing sighed, "I have seen a lot of this kind of thing in the past. Those concubines in the palace who can survive are all experts in this. Miss Third, you still have to endure it!"
"Do you still want to endure it? I can't endure it anymore." Qu Qiuyan slammed the table angrily.
Shock
The tea on top overflowed.
"Miss Third, the word 'forbearance' is like a knife hanging over your head, which is very painful, but if you can't be patient, you may be doomed to failure next." Nanny Qing reminded calmly.
Qu Qiuyan fell silent after hearing this. The expression on her face gradually calmed down. After a long while, she asked, "What should I do now?"
"Copy the female ring well, and get along well with the Fourth Miss in the future, or at least get along well on the surface. You can't say that the two of you are too close, but you can't show tit-for-tat. Didn't the Third Miss do well before? Why did you lose your composure today?"
Aunt Qing asked.
"It's because that bitch Qu Moying is so abominable that she deliberately provoked me to get angry." Qu Qiuyan said angrily.
"Then you must not get angry. The third and fourth young ladies are just blind and ill-educated. How can they compare with you in the future? She may be nothing in the future. She will have to bow to you from a distance when she sees you. You are a pearl and she is just a piece of rubble. It is really not worth it for you to confront her head-on!"
Nanny Qing advised.
Qu Qiuyan's anger subsided after hearing this, and she nodded repeatedly: "Madame Qing is right. I will go and copy the female ring in a while. Didn't they ask me to copy it? I will copy it, but King Jing..."
When it came to King Jing, Qu Qiuyan became worried again.
“As for Prince Jing, Third Miss, don’t be anxious. If Prince Jing really has feelings for Third Miss, he will naturally find a way to resolve the issue, and he will not let Third Miss down. But if…” When Nanny Qing said this, her confident look did not seem so stable anymore, and she became a little hesitant.
"How do you mean?" Qu Qiuyan's heart skipped a beat and she asked anxiously.
"If Prince Jing didn't have such affection for Miss Third, this might have been very disadvantageous to Miss Third. No matter what, this time we have seen the sincerity of Prince Jing. Miss Third still needs to wait in the mansion. Besides, the Second Master also agreed with it before. If Prince Jing really... the Minister will definitely ask him for an explanation."
Although Nanny Qing had not been in the Qu Mansion for a long time, she could see that Prince Jing and Qu Qiuyan had a private relationship, and this relationship had been approved by Minister Qu.
"Yes, yes, father, find father." Qu Qiuyan's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.
"Then Miss Third should study hard to copy the female precepts. The Minister may be here soon." Nanny Qing smiled and stepped back.
"Madam Qing, don't be a second-class servant anymore. I will promote you to a managerial maid soon and let you follow me." Qu Qiuyan said as she saw her respectfully retreating.
"I thank Third Miss for her kindness, but I have just arrived at the mansion, and it is difficult for me to convince everyone at once. I am also not clear about many things. After a while, if Third Miss feels that I am still suitable, she can promote me. At that time, no one will gossip about me, and I can really help Third Miss."
Aunt Qing replied with a smile.
Qu Qiuyan was satisfied with what she heard, and she felt even better about the Madam Qing in front of her. She would definitely promote her after a while. Compared with other people around her, this Madam Qing was a retired lady from the palace, so she knew more and could help her better.
Qu Qiuyan began to copy the female ring seriously. As expected, when it was getting dark, Qu Zhizhen came. The father and daughter were locked up and discussed...
