"Please speak, my lord!" Qu Moying pondered for a moment and said lightly.
"I heard that Fourth Miss Qu is the Crown Princess's cousin and was well taken care of by the Crown Princess in the past. But when the Crown Princess was seriously ill, why didn't Fourth Miss Qu go to the Crown Prince's residence to take care of her? Later, when the Crown Princess was buried, she disrupted both the Crown Princess's funeral and Ling Anbo's funeral. Could it be that the rumor is wrong? Is there something else going on with the relationship between Fourth Miss Qu and the Crown Princess?"
Liu Jingyu spoke softly, very politely, smiling, and bowed to her politely after he finished speaking, "If there is anything wrong with what I said, please forgive me, Miss Qu Si. Just now, when my grandmother was so kind to Miss Qu Si, I couldn't help but ask a few more questions."
What this means is that everyone outside knows about these things and is spreading them, so he wants to ask Qu Moying the truth.
There was a hint of depth in Qu Moying's eyes. This time she was sure that the Lady of Jingyu County was really unfriendly to her, but she still couldn't remember how she had offended her to make her say such words.
These words are provocative, and the provocation and sarcasm are obvious.
But now is not the time to think about these things. Qu Moying looked at Liu Jingyu, his eyes slowly turned cold: "Jingyu County Lord is talking about the Crown Princess like this, is it because he wants to spy on the Crown Princess's status?"
No one expected Qu Moying to say such sharp words. Some people present knew something, some were confused, but no matter who it was, they all pursed their lips tightly and said nothing.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn!
The Crown Princess had just died. Even if the Crown Prince had some ideas, or if other young ladies had some ideas, they could not make them public. After all, the Crown Prince's love for the Crown Princess was praised by the entire capital.
Liu Jingyu had not expected that his tentative words would elicit such a sharp response from Qu Moying, and the smile on his face froze.
"How dare you! How dare Fourth Miss Qu speak to our county lady like that." The maid standing behind Liu Jingyu stepped forward and rebuked her harshly.
Yu Dong stared at her, not wanting to be outdone, and took a step forward, "The masters are talking, it's not your turn as a maid to speak here."
"You are not even a maid yet." The maid beside Liu Jingyu was furious.
"I'm scolding you! Even though our young lady is nothing, she is still the cousin of the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is not, but there are people who step on the Crown Princess's cousin. What do they want to do? Everyone understands it!" Yu Dong said fearlessly.
Although he is a maid now, he is not a real one after all. In the past, he followed Pei Yuanjun and acted like a bully. Not to mention that he is just a small maid, he would not take it seriously even if the Jingyu County Lady was reprimanded.
Although the noise from their side was small, the voices of the two maids attracted the attention of others. Seeing the other ladies' eyes turning to them, Liu Jingyu quickly calmed down the stiffness on her face and smiled apologetically to the ladies at the previous tables, "The two maids are ignorant, and they made the ladies laugh."
Seeing that the dispute was between two maids, the ladies went back to talking to each other. After all, it was just one maid and didn't mean much.
Seeing Liu Jingyu calling the maid, Qu Moying also called Yu Dong back, and Liu Jingyu sat down again.
"Miss Qu Si, I'm sorry. I couldn't help getting angry because Concubine Ji mentioned Miss Qu Si... It's my fault for not being well-mannered enough to offend Miss Qu Si."
Liu Jingyu said with an apologetic look on his face.
Qu Moying believed that if he hadn't said
After saying that, Yu Dong pushed the maid away without giving in. Liu Jingyu would not be so easy to talk to.
Liu Jingyu is no simple person. With just these one sentence, he was able to make a great contribution by directing the recent incident to Ji Youran, and he did it without showing any emotion.
Very powerful, but this Liu Jingyu is obviously not kind to me, so I need to be more careful.
"I don't know what Concubine Ji said to County Lord Jingyu that made County Lord Liuyi so angry that she took her anger out on me."
Qu Moying asked calmly.
"Actually, it's no big deal. I just thought it wrong." Liu Jingyu said vaguely.
"Lord Jingyu and Concubine Ji have a bad relationship?" Qu Moying asked without understanding.
Now that Liu Yiran has said that, it won't be so easy to get away with it. Qu Moying doesn't care what Liu Jingyu meant before, whether it was a show of force, a test, or just to vent her anger. Since she said it, she has to bear the consequences.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the soft voices that could be heard at the table disappeared. What Liu Jingyu had said before was indeed very surprising. It didn't seem like something Liu Jingyu would say in the past, but no matter what, Liu Jingyu still said it.
What does it mean
"Miss Fourth Qu, County Lord Jingyu just spoke out of turn. Why does Fourth Qu have to hold on to her so tightly?" A lady in light yellow who was sitting on the other side of Liu Jingyu snorted coldly and couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Qu Moying knew this lady, she was Yan Yujiao, the lady of the Marquis Fengyang's Mansion. In the past, whenever he saw Liu Jingyu, he would often see her as well. It was heard that she had a very good relationship with Liu Jingyu.
"Did I ever hold you tightly? It was County Lord Jingyu who deliberately pulled me aside to talk to you. Could it be that this is wrong?" Qu Moying smiled slowly and said calmly.
Liu Jingyu turned around and whispered instructions to the maid. As she spoke, the maid nodded repeatedly, as if there was something very important. She did not notice that the two people beside her were on the verge of a confrontation.
When she turned sideways, Qu Moying came face to face with Miss Yan Yujiao. Yan Yujiao glared at Qu Moying angrily.
"What does Miss Qu Si mean?"
"I mean whatever this lady means." Qu Moying said indifferently. This was her first time to attend an appointment with a noble family. If she was repeatedly suppressed, how would people look at her in the future
“You… are really going too far…” Yan Yujiao looked like a spoiled young lady, and she could no longer suppress her anger. If the person who had spoken back to her was a young lady of equal ability to her, she would certainly not have gotten so angry. But as long as she thought that Qu Moying was actually nothing, and yet dared to be so stubborn and offend her in front of her, she could not calm down.
In fact, he was just bullying Qu Moying because he had no one to support him and he was not strong enough.
Qu Qiuyan sat aside and watched the show, feeling secretly proud in her heart. She also knew this Miss Yan, and she got along well with her. The second young master of the Fengyang Marquis's Mansion used to come to the Qu Mansion with Xu Lipeng, and sometimes the second young master Yan came with his sister.
It was worth her trying to provoke Miss Yan just now.
"Yujiao, don't be angry! Miss Qu Si, I'm really sorry. This is the lady of the Yan family. Yujiao might have been angry about something, and her temper is really big today." Liu Jingyu turned around and seemed to have just noticed the tense atmosphere in front of him. He hurriedly advised, stretched out his hand to pull Yan Yujiao, and smiled at Qu Moying.
Qu Moying smiled slightly but said nothing.
Yan Yujiao wanted to get angry, but when she saw the ladies coming over because of the noise they made, she immediately shut up angrily. Jing Yu had advised her before, but she just couldn't suppress her anger.
Just because of the matter of the Yongning Marquis's son, why did Miss Qu take her anger out on her brother
Although his second brother was indeed a disappointing person, there was no need for others to say that, especially this Fourth Miss Qu, who had no talent, no looks, and was blind. Could it be that she was attracted to his second brother
The status of our own Fengyang Marquis Mansion is several levels higher than that of Yongning Marquis Mansion!
"Okay, Yujiao, don't be angry for my sake." Liu Jingyu pulled her sleeve with a smile, and Yan Yujiao's expression finally calmed down. Although she still had a tense face, she didn't seem to take the initiative to provoke a confrontation anymore.
Qu Moying glanced at her indifferently, and looked at Liu Jingyu with an extremely light expression, without saying anything else.
The rest of the meal was fairly uneventful, with the young lady eating the fastest, as she didn't eat much to begin with.
After a few young ladies finished their meal and left, Qu Moying also stood up, said goodbye to Qi Xiangyu, and left with Yu Dong first.
After all, Qi Xiangyu is the real host and is more qualified to entertain guests than Liu Jingyu. But in fact, up to now, everyone present has almost ignored her. They all deliberately talk to Liu Jingyu, and often mention things about the host, and they all say it is Liu Jingyu.
But Miss Qi Xiangyu kept smiling, as if she didn't care at all.
When Qu Moying spoke to her, she just nodded with a smile and didn't say much. It was because Qu Moying said goodbye to Qi Xiangyu when he left that everyone remembered that the Miss Qi in front of them was the real host of today's banquet. When the next few ladies left, although they would still say goodbye to Liu Jingyu, they would also say goodbye to Qi Xiangyu again.
For a moment, the host and the guests were in harmony.
Qu Moying took Yu Dong and walked slowly on the road while enjoying the scenery. When she came out, she did not go out with the other ladies. She just randomly chose a direction and had a walk.
"Ms. Qu Si, please stay!" After taking a few steps, a voice came from behind.
Qu Moying turned around and saw that it was Yan Yujiao. He was not surprised at all. He just glanced at her casually and continued walking forward, but his steps were slightly slower.
Seeing that she didn't stop, Yan Yujiao became even more angry. She strode forward and walked a few steps to Qu Moying's side. She said angrily: "Miss Qu Si's eyesight is not good, and now her ears are not good either? Could it be that you didn't hear me talking to you?"
"Miss Yan, what's the matter?" Qu Moying narrowed his eyes and asked calmly.
"Miss Fourth Miss Qu, the matter of the Yongning Marquis's son has nothing to do with my second brother. Don't think you can blame it on my second brother. Although my second brother is the second son, he is also the legitimate second son. He will never marry a woman whose engagement has been broken off." Yan Yujiao looked at Qu Moying arrogantly, her eyes full of contempt.
Qu Moying couldn't help but burst out laughing, and raised her veiled eyes, "Miss Yan, did you hear something, or was you provoked by someone? When did I blame your second brother? I didn't even blame the Yongning Marquis's son, so why would I blame your second brother? And who is your second brother? Is it related to me?"
This was said with great indifference.
Yan Yujiao's face flushed, then turned blue and white, and she felt like she was punching cotton...
