Madam Miao subconsciously felt something was wrong, "Miss, when Madam was sick before, there was an imperial physician who came to see her, but no one mentioned that Madam was pregnant at the time. Moreover, she had seen many doctors before, but no one mentioned this matter."
"Could it be that I was too young at that time?" Qu Moying frowned slightly.
This sentence immediately made Miao Mama lose her energy. After thinking about it, she nodded: "This is also possible, but... but... if this is the case, this child may not be well."
Qu Moying looked up, not understanding what Miao Mama meant: "What's not good?"
"Fourth Miss, the Madam was ill at the time and took a lot of medicine, not just prescribed by the imperial physician, but also by other doctors. She didn't know she was pregnant at the time, so she must have taken all the medicine. The disease was said to be very dangerous, but it was not diagnosed, so the medicine she took must have been heavy. Now if it is confirmed that she is pregnant, taking so many heavy medicines, the child may have problems."
At that time, every doctor had prescribed medicine. The air in Yu's yard was filled with the smell of medicine. When I saw Yu before, she was extremely thin and looked like she couldn't even get up. It was obvious that the medicine must have been extremely strong. With such strong medicine, even if the baby in her belly could survive, I'm afraid the baby itself would have big problems.
"Isn't that a good child?" Qu Moying understood.
"It will definitely not get better." Nanny Miao nodded.
Qu Moying pursed her lips, her lips pursed, and her eyes were filled with coldness...
The day for the banquet at the Duke of Qi's mansion arrived. Qu Moying washed and dressed early in the morning and went to the lady's courtyard. She waited for the lady to get up. Qu Xuexin and Qu Qiuyan were waiting with her. Qu Qiuyan had copied all the women's rings yesterday and got up early in the morning. After paying respects to the lady together with Qu Moying, she also apologized to Qu Moying.
She only said that she was too anxious that day and lost her composure. As for the past events, she repeatedly assured that they had nothing to do with her and said that she treated Qu Moying as a sister.
Qu Moying didn't take this seriously. He just listened to it. If he took it seriously, he would lose. He just responded to Qu Qiuyan indifferently, which was considered a reconciliation.
Seeing her indifferent look, the lady knew that Qu Moying was right in this matter, so she just sighed softly and did not force the two sisters to be as affectionate as before.
Just be well on your own!
Today, the Dowager took them to the Duke of Qi's Mansion for a banquet. Originally, Luo was going to go as well, but because of Qu Caiyue's matter, Luo became sick due to anger. She couldn't bring Qu Xuexin with her, so she sent Qu Xuexin to the West Mansion and asked the Dowager to take her there as well.
Qu Xuexin's marriage has not been settled yet. As she gets older, it is a concern not only for Mrs. Luo, but also for the lady dowager.
After what happened to Qu Caiyue, it became increasingly difficult for Qu Xuexin to find a marriage partner.
It's a rare opportunity to go out for a walk, and maybe even find a good marriage. The lady will naturally take Qu Xuexin out with her.
The carriages were already parked outside. The lady was old, so she needed more servants around her, so one person took up one carriage. The three sisters prepared two carriages.
In the past, when the four sisters were together, two of them would ride in one car. But now, one of the three must be alone.
"Fourth sister, I'm with
You come along!" After helping the lady get on the front carriage, Qu Qiuyan looked at Qu Moying and said.
Qu Moying didn't respond, but just smiled faintly, and held Yu Dong's hand to get into the carriage. Yu Dong also followed nimbly, leaving Qu Qiuyan standing aside looking a little embarrassed.
"Third sister, come with me!" Qu Xuexin looked at Qu Qiuyan who was a little embarrassed and invited her.
Just now at the old lady's place, Qu Qiuyan and Qu Moying were both indifferent to each other. It was obvious at a glance that the relationship between the two was not just ordinary, and it was probably not good.
The incident between the two of them at the old lady's place a few days ago also reached Qu Xuexin's ears. At this time, she spoke up to help Qu Qiuyan out. No matter how you look at it, it is inappropriate for the two of them to stay together. Who knows if the two of them will cause any trouble in the carriage later.
In the carriage in front, the lady nodded. She had originally wanted to arrange it this way and was planning to ask my nanny to go down and pass on the message. But Xin girl took the initiative herself, which saved her a lot of trouble.
"Then... I'll trouble you, eldest sister. I originally wanted to go with fourth sister." Qu Qiuyan showed an awkward smile on her face.
Qu Moying left her at the door without saying a word, which really embarrassed her.
"We are sisters, so why be polite? Let's get in the carriage." Qu Xuexin said softly, motioning Qu Qiuyan to get in first.
Qu Qiuyan was not polite this time. She held the maid's hand and got on the carriage. Qu Xuexin followed her, and then the two maids.
After they were all on the carriage, it slowly started to move out of the mansion.
The Duke of Qi's Mansion was still some distance away from Minister Qu's Mansion, but it was still early and there was no rush to get there. The Madam specifically ordered the carriage to go slower, as she was old and her three granddaughters were all delicate and fragile, so it was better for the carriage to go slower.
The carriages set off slowly, the first one, then the second one, then the third one. It was still early, but there were many people on the street. The carriages moved slowly and were gradually separated from the others. Suddenly, a figure rushed out. He looked like a drunk, and not only that, he was holding a pot of wine in his hand, and staggered towards the carriages.
The coachman hurriedly pulled the reins, and the carriage slowed down.
The drunkard came in front of the carriage. The driver was about to yell at him, but he saw the drunkard stumble and fall in front of the shaft of the carriage. The driver had no choice but to stop the carriage and yelled, "Hurry up."
As he said this, he wanted to wave a whip to drive the people away. The person in the carriage was the fourth young lady of the mansion, and it would be bad to disturb her.
The drunk raised his head, revealing a face covered with whiskers. His features could not be seen clearly, only a pair of fierce eyes. The coachman panicked and subconsciously stopped the whip that he was about to swing. Such a pair of blood-red and fierce eyes did not look like the eyes of an ordinary person.
After calming down, he was about to yell again when he saw the drunkard lying on the shaft of the cart, leaping up and directly onto the shaft. He stretched out his hand to pull open the curtain door and reached in with his other hand. The coachman saw a cold light from the corner of his eye and was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled. He only had time to shout, "There is an assassin."
Yu Dong, who was sitting in the carriage, sat in front of Qu Moying. He didn't pay much attention at first, but now he heard an unusual noise. He immediately concentrated and waited. When the curtain of the carriage in front of him was lifted, a man thrust a dagger in his hand, regardless of what was in the carriage.
If someone comes here directly to claim my life,
He raised his foot and kicked out hard, hitting the man's wrist.
His force was too great. The drunkard only knew that there were two weak women in the carriage. No matter whether they were young ladies or maids, it would be easy to kill them with one knife. As long as he killed the people inside and jumped out to the alley, there would be someone to pick him up. From then on, he would have a bright future and would never return to the capital.
Now that someone has died, the scene must be in chaos. Everyone is just concerned about whether the people in the carriage are okay. No one would care about him. It is not difficult for him to escape. He is originally a desperado and has done murders before. He has always gotten away with it before. This time he is only dealing with two women, so nothing will happen to him.
Unexpectedly, there was such a fierce maid in the carriage. The man who kicked her took a step back and fell directly off the carriage, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.
Yu Dong immediately jumped out of the carriage and stepped on the man's hand as he was reaching for the dropped dagger. He shouted loudly, "Come and catch the assassin!"
After hearing him shout so loudly, the people around him finally reacted. Some came over to help press his hands, and some pressed his feet, and the strong man was pressed to death.
The coachman used a whip to tie the man's hands.
The lady had already received the news in front, and she was so panicked that she came over holding on to my nanny's hand. When she saw the man in front of Qu Moying's carriage, she was so scared that she almost fainted.
"Madam, our young lady is fine!" Yu Dong had sharp eyes and saw the Madam, so he hurried over to comfort her.
"What's wrong? Who... who is this person? Where is Ying?" The lady grabbed Yudong, her face as pale as snow, and her voice trembled.
"Madam, it's okay. The young lady is still inside. I saw this man first. I saw him stabbing into the carriage with a dagger, so I kicked him off. Fortunately, I worked in the farm before and have a lot of strength. Otherwise, I would be finished this time."
Yudong patted his chest in fear.
“Let…let Ying come with me to sit in the carriage in front.” The lady was still worried.
Yu Dong nodded, turned back to lift the curtain, and helped Qu Moying down from the carriage. Qu Moying's eyes fell on the man who was pressed to the ground. She was sure that she had never provoked such a person, who usually never went out of the house. There was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Needless to say, this must have been specially prepared for myself.
Otherwise, how could such a desperado come to assassinate me, as I am just the daughter of a mere minister, not a princess or a princess of the royal family
I just didn't expect that Qu Qiuyan's ability was so strong, but is that all? It should be more than that!
"Send him to the government!" Qu Moying glanced at Yu Dong and ordered.
Qu Moying knew one thing, that even if the case was sent to the government, they probably wouldn't find out anything, but this process was really necessary, unless the person behind him was truly flawless, firmly believed that he could not have made any mistakes, and had no guilt at all and was able to be determined.
At least that's not what she could guess!
Even though I firmly believe it in my heart, I still feel that I should be careful and it is better to get rid of all traces if possible. So, there should be a follow-up to this matter, right
"Someone, come here, where did the assassin come from? Take him away." Suddenly, someone came over from outside the crowd. The first one was a leader, who was accompanied by several yamen runners.
