Qu Xuexin embroidered with Qu Moying for more than an hour before she went back after being summoned by the people sent from the East Palace.
After Qu Xuexin took away all the things she brought with her, Qu Moying also put down the embroidery stand in her hands, and her eyes fell from the window to the figure of Qu Xuexin who was walking out.
"Miss, you should rest your eyes!" Yuchun stepped forward and removed her veil.
Qu Moying leaned back and closed her eyes. Yu Chun gently massaged the corners of her eyes to let her eyes relax for a while. She had just embroidered for a long time, and now that she had relaxed, her eyes did feel a little sore and astringent.
"Miss, what do the eldest lady and this cousin want to do?" After Yu Dong came in and cleared away the tea set, he served Qu Moying a new cup of tea.
"On the Chinese Valentine's Day, let me out!" Qu Moying said indifferently. She didn't know their specific operations, but this matter should involve the actions of Qu Mingcheng and Qu Xuexin. As for this cousin Xiao Hanyuan, he should also be involved!
The corners of his lips curled up silently, and slowly, his eyes became cold.
In the Qu Mansion, only the lady regarded her as a relative. As for the others, since they had been plotting against her, how could she regard them as relatives!
"Miss, they are going too far!" Yu Chun understood something and said angrily.
"It's not excessive, it's just the law of the jungle!" Qu Moying curled the corners of her lips, her fairy-like face was indifferent, but her eyes were gloomy, it was clear that she didn't take this matter seriously at all.
After experiencing the betrayal of her family in her previous life, it was hard for her to trust people again!
The road ahead will surely be filled with more blood and gore. She has never thought about what the future will be like. Perhaps she is a person without a future, so how can she talk about anything else
These things are trivial compared to making Ji Hanyue’s injustice known to the world!
Yu Dong was shocked. He had known for a long time that his mistress was different, but he didn't expect her to be so different. A weak girl in the boudoir was obviously the most timid. Compared with other young ladies, the mistress in front of him was the real fragile one. But who would have thought that her heart was so tough.
At this moment, she gave people a sinister feeling, just like his own prince, with the same charming face, the same cold temperament, and the same bit of coldness. However, compared to his own prince, the Fourth Miss Qu in front of him was more pitiful. Thinking of her experience and her current situation, almost every step was difficult. It was not easy for her to get to this point!
I wonder which lady from a wealthy family could look like this young lady!
“Miss…” Yudong wanted to say something, but couldn’t utter it.
Qu Moying smiled elegantly, diluting the sadness: "Let's not talk about this anymore. We'll see when the time comes. Yudong, you can ask Miao Ma to keep an eye on Mr. Xiao and see if he has any abnormalities. As for the young lady..." Qu Moying paused here, and suddenly said, "The main thing is to keep an eye on the young lady. She should take action!"
I feel like there must be some changes here with Qu Xuexin, although I don't know if I can find out anything.
"Miss, I understand!" Yu Dong nodded. He had the same idea as Qu Moying. This Miss Qu looked very restless and was not the kind of person who could sit still.
Sure enough, that night, a maid from the East Palace went out of the palace, walked around the street for a few times, and then went to the back door of Minister Liu's palace.
A maid opened the door for her. After she entered, she
About half an hour later, he sneaked out again. After going out, he looked around and then left carefully.
The maid thought she was very careful, but in fact she had already been spotted by the secret guards. When Yu Dong entered the Qu Mansion, Pei Yuanjun deliberately selected two secret guards to be under his command and asked them to secretly protect Qu Moying. The ones who were outside the mansion now were of course the secret guards sent by Yu Dong.
The maid walked around the street for a while, bought some small things casually, and then went back. Although it was evening, it was not long after dinner and the street was still very busy. When the maid was halfway there, she was suddenly bumped by someone and fell to the ground. She couldn't stand up for a while and she actually broke her leg.
When I looked up, I saw a young man who looked like an evildoer. He was accompanied by a servant. The servant said with a grin, "I'm sorry, someone bumped into me just now. Are you hurt?"
It was obvious that he didn't look like a good person, so the maid didn't dare to ask him to help her and quickly shook her hand.
The young master glanced at her, and seeing that she was just an ordinary-looking maid, he ignored her, asked the servant to follow him, and continued walking forward, throwing the maid who was hit to the ground and paying no attention to her.
A kind-hearted person on the street couldn't bear to see her like this, so he helped her to a clinic on the street and asked the doctor there to put a plaster on her. She then limped back. When she was almost at Qu's house, a man came out from the opposite side and almost knocked her down again. Fortunately, she was very careful this time and took a few steps back to hold onto the corner of the wall, so she was only slightly scratched.
It was a man, and it was difficult to see clearly in the dark night. The two people almost bumped into each other. The maid was about to curse, but the man opposite had already disappeared. She had no choice but to return home.
After entering the Qu Mansion and going to Qu Xuexin's place in the East Mansion, Qu Xuexin saw her limping and frowned and asked, "What happened? Why are you like this?"
"I was hit..." The maid was very aggrieved and wanted to say something, but was interrupted.
"What does the county lady say?" Under the light, Qu Xuexin's face lost its usual dignity and looked a little cold and stern.
"The county lady said to do as the young lady said. As for the details, she will think about it. The county lady also asked me to bring you a letter." The maid reached into her sleeve to take the letter, but after touching it a few times, her face turned pale and she exclaimed, "Young lady, the letter is gone!"
"What?" Qu Xuexin's face suddenly turned ugly, and she stood up and shouted, "Look again carefully!"
The maid felt around a few more times but still found nothing. She was so scared that she started crying, "Miss, it's really gone. Maybe it was accidentally knocked away on the street just now."
"Who hit you?" Qu Xuexin was anxious and her face turned pale.
"Yes... it was a man, who looked like a young master from some family, and he brought a few servants with him." The maid said timidly.
She didn't dare say that it was the servant who hit him, but just said that it was a young man who hit him.
Upon hearing that he was the son of a wealthy family, Qu Xuexin breathed a sigh of relief. It was impossible for him to be related to Qu Moying, that would really be an accident.
"Didn't you see clearly whether it was lost or not?"
"I didn't pay attention and there were so many people around at that time." The maid cried, and suddenly remembered that she was almost knocked down by someone when she entered the mansion just now. But then she felt that it was even more impossible. After all, it was just a collision, and the next time it was just a slight glancing blow. There was no way it could have been lost at that time.
"Why don't you get out and look for it!
"Qu Xuexin scolded loudly, but she was not too flustered.
Lord Jingyu has always been cautious. Even if he wrote something in the letter, he would not write it very clearly. This letter would be useless if it fell into the hands of other people.
The maid did not dare to delay, so after answering, she found another old woman and went out to look for her together.
But when I went to look for it again, no matter who I asked, they said no one had seen the letter...
At this moment, the letter was actually lying on the desk in front of Qu Moying. The letter had been opened. After reading it, Qu Moying put the letter down, her watery eyes drooped, and her long, butterfly-wing-like eyelashes, with a bit of coldness, cast uneven shadows on her cheeks.
The letter was actually very simple, without a signature, and was very cautious.
As for Qu Xuexin's name, it did not appear in it. It was just mentioned as "you". This Liu Jingyu is really too cautious.
The letter expressed his approval of Qu Xuexin's situation, and repeatedly assured that after the matter was settled, he would definitely find a good marriage for Qu Xuexin, and generally would not give her a bad marriage to He Sancha.
To be able to be better than He San who has King Jing's background, his identity must be extraordinary. Qu Moying was really surprised that Liu Jingyu dared to make such a guarantee.
But from this we can also see that Qu Xuexin has no intention of marrying Xiao Hanyuan, so her intimacy with this cousin during this period seems to be worthy of careful scrutiny!
Since it is not the ultimate goal, it is a means. Needless to say, Xiao Hanyuan should be using it as a means to deal with himself.
Qu Xuexin really tried her best to find a marriage for herself. Is she planning to step on me to get that so-called "good" marriage
"Miss, what did the letter say?" Yu Dong asked when he saw Qu Moying silent.
The secret guard took action, of course, without anyone noticing. He first pushed a servant and bumped into a maid, but that was not a good time to take action as there were too many people seeing it. Also, it was a deliberate attempt to confuse people, making them think it was just an accident. The next time was the real action to gain trust.
I had only guessed that there should be a letter, but I didn't expect that there really was one.
Qu Moying pushed the letter in front of Yu Dong. Yu Dong took it and read it three lines at a glance. After finishing it, she slowly put the letter down. After reading it carefully, Yu Dong said, "Miss, they want to do something to you during the Qiqiao Festival, right?"
"It should be!" Qu Moying chuckled. Under the light, the delicate girl smiled faintly, as if she was talking about someone else's business, but it made people feel dangerous for no reason...
"The seventh day of the seventh month, Qiqiao Festival?" Pei Yuanjun turned the wine glass in his hand. The color of the glass reflected pearlescent light, and the light was transparent and gorgeous. It looked like heaven on earth. However, at the height of Jiuque Chonghua, only Pei Yuanjun was leaning on the couch, lazily looking down at the prosperity of the capital city.
"Yes, that's what I said. Your Highness, do you want to go and have a look? You haven't seen the Qiqiao Festival in the capital before. This is a rare opportunity, so you must appreciate it." Ji Hai suggested with a smile.
My own house is too lonely and deserted. I must have a mistress soon. It would be even better if I could have a little master.
Ji Hai was so happy thinking about the good things that his mouth was almost raised to his ears.
"I'll go, of course. Since there's a show to watch, I have to go and see it." Pei Yuanjun said lazily, closing his eyes slightly, as if the starlight in the sky was gathered into his eyes...
