Xie Feng cried so hard that he almost collapsed to the ground, he was extremely sad!
Pei Luoan frowned tightly and looked at Xie Feng with a very unhappy expression. After a long while, he asked, "Why did she pull out your hairpin?"
"I don't know either. Maybe she thinks that Fourth Miss Qu is unhappy because I'm serving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xie Feng continued crying.
"How rude!" Pei Luoan's face also showed some anger. How dare a mere daughter of a minister offend him like this
"I explained that I was now His Royal Highness's servant, not a second master, but Fourth Miss Qu refused to listen and had her maid slap me twice. The entire Ji Mansion's servants were watching. I felt that I had embarrassed His Royal Highness and wanted to die right there, but I thought I had to come back to report to His Royal Highness, so I saved my life."
Xie Feng cried and said, "Now that Your Highness has returned, I am willing to die to preserve Your Highness's dignity." As she spoke, she stood up shakily, as if she was going to bang her head against a pillar.
"Alright!" Pei Luoan slapped his hand on the table and said sternly.
Xiefeng was so frightened that he dared not make a fuss anymore and continued to kneel there crying.
"You go down first!" Pei Luoan said coldly.
"Your Highness..." Xie Feng wanted to say something, but when he saw Pei Luoan's eyes glaring, he lowered his head hastily, not daring to be presumptuous anymore, and could only say aggrievedly, "Your Highness... Your Highness, I... I will go back first!"
Pei Luoan waved his hand.
Xie Feng stood up, feeling very aggrieved, turned around, wiped his tears and was about to leave.
"Don't talk nonsense after you get out, otherwise..." Pei Luoan said coldly. Now someone was impeaching him with Ji Hanyue's affairs again, and he was very annoyed.
"I know, Your Highness, don't worry." Xie Feng said immediately, and then carefully retreated to the door. After she stood still, she wiped her tears and saw a maid at the door smiling at her sarcastically.
She was originally the prince's maid, but now her favor had been snatched away by Xie Feng, so naturally he disliked everything about her.
Seeing Xie Feng being humiliated inside, he was very happy. He walked over in small steps, a few steps away from the prince's study, and then looked up and down at the embarrassed Xie Feng: "What's wrong? Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to vent his anger for you? To help you deal with the Crown Princess's cousin?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Xie Feng said in a cold voice, not wanting to be outdone. She also disliked this maid.
"How can it be unrelated? I heard a good show. Even though you cried like this in it, it didn't seem like His Highness had any sympathy for you. It seems that this favor will only last for two days. Maybe it's because of the late Crown Princess." The maid raised her hand as if she was chasing away something unclean.
The direction it was heading was the direction of the slanting wind.
Xie Feng was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he also felt guilty because his true feelings were exposed. Does the Crown Prince really favor her? Others may not know, but Xie Feng knows it very well.
But at the moment, this place was the Crown Prince's study, and Xie Feng didn't dare to really make a big noise. She glared at the maid fiercely, turned around and left, and the maid who was standing by to serve her followed her closely.
After walking outside, Xie Feng thought about it, but still felt unwilling to give in. The Crown Prince's attitude was unclear, and she didn't know whether he would help her vent her anger.
Among all the hairpins she had, this pair was the best. Now they were gone. She felt so sad. After standing there thinking for a while, Xie Feng took the maid to find Ji Youran.
This time was different from the previous times. Before, he just said a few perfunctorily to Ji Youran, but now he came to Ji Youran for support.
Of course, what he meant was that the Crown Prince was busy, so he entrusted the matter to Ji Youran and asked her to come to the Concubine to tell her about the matter. Anyway, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did say these nice words just now, and Xie Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with her going to the Concubine to complain about her grievances and ask for her to make the decision.
This was originally what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant, wasn't it
Ji Youran was also very annoyed. She originally wanted to use Xie Feng's incident to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intervene in the affairs of Ling'anbo's Mansion. It would be best if the Crown Prince gave a direct order to sort out the issue of Ji Hanyue's dowry. As long as the Crown Prince gave the order, no matter how much was given, she believed that Madam Duan and Ji Yuanhai would not dare to say anything.
But she didn't expect that Xie Feng would come back again after just leaving, crying, which was really annoying. She was not the prince, so she couldn't be gentle with women. She kept Xie Feng in the first place because he was useful to her. But now she was annoyed. She just said a few words to Xie Feng coldly and sent him away.
The fact that Madam Duan didn't sign the form meant that the matter was not over yet. She had to find a way to make Madam Duan admit it. The prince had already reprimanded her, so this matter had to be handled quickly.
Xie Feng didn't expect that when she came to complain before, Ji Youran persuaded her kindly and even gave her a reward, but now she was asked to leave after just saying a few words, without giving her any face at all. She also saw the mocking looks on the faces of the maids who followed Ji Youran. She felt ashamed and angry for a moment, but she could only retreat.
She returned to her residence angrily, gritting her teeth in anger. The person she hated the most was Qu Moying. She would find a chance to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and cry to him. This matter would never end like this!
Xie Feng was furious, and was determined to deal with Qu Moying. However, Qu Moying knew her character very well. She knew that with Xie Feng's character, he would definitely tell half and hide the other half, and only say things that were beneficial to her. So she must be innocent, and that would be good!
Things will be twisted for the most part, and after covering up the real cause of the accident for the most part, the truth will be concealed. As for whether Pei Luoan would really get angry because of a maid, it is not within her consideration. Just because Xie Feng is a maid and she is the lady of the Minister's Mansion and Ji Hanyue's cousin, Pei Luoan, a fame-seeker, will not do anything!
She pulled out these hairpins on purpose...
In front of Qu Moying was a bamboo gauze box, which was the one he had taken from Yueyi Pavilion before. After looking at it over and over again, he was once again sure that it was just a fake, but it was very delicately made and the style was exactly the same. If he had never seen it before, it would be impossible to make it.
So how did a fake get to Yueyi Pavilion
Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and her eyes fell on the bamboo gauze box in front of her, as if she was thinking about something. She had also asked Aunt Yang today, and she said that she had asked many people in the store before, and they all said that they had never seen this clerk again, as if he had really disappeared, or this person had left the capital.
Qu Moying knew that this was not the case. This person must be there, but was hiding in a place where he could not find him. This person was the key to this bamboo gauze box and also the key to the tribute sold by Yueyi Pavilion.
If no one found out about this kind of thing, it would be a small matter. But if it was found out, Yueyi Pavilion would certainly not be saved. Fortunately, it was Yu who was in charge of the store at that time. Even if the matter was investigated, it would not lead to him. However, the shop would certainly be closed down.
Does Yu really dare to do such a thing
Even if Yu was greedy, she didn't have the ability to get such tribute.
I sold it for several years before I bought it.
Why did he stop? How did he stop? Why were they placed in Qu's shop? Who in Qu's shop was it related to? Where did the missing account books go? Who got them
Qu Moying sighed softly, and pressed a part of the bamboo box with her soft fingers, as if she was thinking about something. She always felt that there was an invisible thread that connected her previous life to this life.
Even though it was the Qu Mansion, and it seemed to be just a dispute in the inner courtyard, Qu Moying could feel the sharpness of swords and sabers!
The Qu Mansion, the Imperial Palace, the Concubine Qu? Or other concubines? Or the maiden families of other concubines
If you think about it carefully, the most unlikely person is Concubine Qu, so who else could it be
Is that Qu Zhizhen
Compared to Yu, Qu Moying felt that Qu Zhizhen was the most suspicious one, but he could not find any evidence.
She didn't have a very good relationship with her adoptive father and was not close to him. Even if she wanted to verify something, she couldn't go to Qu Zhizhen, which made it even more difficult to find out the truth.
"Yuchun, put it away!" Qu Moying finally took his fingers off the bamboo gauze box and gently tapped the table.
Yuchun came over, took the bamboo gauze box and put it away carefully.
Yudong came back from outside at this time and brought dinner. Qu Moying still felt dizzy and had no appetite. After eating a little, he asked the two maids to leave.
After Yudong finished cleaning up, he saw Nanny Yan coming in from outside the courtyard gate with a heavy face. He walked forward and bowed.
"Miss, have you had dinner yet?" Nanny Yan looked at the light on in the main room and asked.
"Miss has already used it." Yudong replied.
Nanny Yan hesitated for a moment and said to Yu Dong, "Go and report to the young lady and tell her that I have something to see her about."
Yu Dong nodded, turned around and went in. After a while, he walked outside and said to Nanny Yan, "Nanny Yan, Miss, please come in!"
Yudong still had some respect for this female official in the palace. At least after Nanny Yan came to the mansion, she also helped the young lady. Just for this reason, Yudong thought that Nanny Yan was a good person.
Nanny Yan nodded to her and walked into the house with a heavy face.
Qu Moying was not wearing a veil in the room. Her current appearance was not unfamiliar to Nanny Yan. She knew that Nanny Yan had seen her with her veil down in private, so she did not put it up again at this time.
Seeing Qu Moying sitting in the room with her bright eyes open and looking at her as she came in, Nanny Yan was startled. Although she had secretly seen the appearance of this Fourth Miss Qu in the past, she had only seen her a few times in a furtive way and had never faced her face to face like this.
Qu Moying's eyes are very beautiful, with bright pupils. They look a little darker than others, but the black and white are more distinct. When they are cold, they are like clear water flowing through, pure and clear; when she smiles, she is soft and charming. The natural light red color at the corners of her eyes brings out her charming charm, and her eyes are misty.
Her facial features were originally very delicate. Even with the veil covering her eyes, many knowledgeable people could sense that she was very good-looking. But after the veil was removed, they would understand that such a beauty was more than just "good". It could be described as stunningly beautiful.
Madam Yan once again pondered her thoughts, and made up her mind. She met the half-smiley look of Miss Qu Si, and then slowly knelt down...
