After saying that, he turned around and left, but after a few steps, Qu Qiuyan turned back again, still not giving up: "Fourth sister, come with me to take a look, maybe it's another letter."
"No, thank you, Third Sister. Someone else must have delivered the wrong message." Qu Moying said indifferently, sitting there steadily, with no intention of getting up.
No matter what Qu Qiuyan's plan was, she didn't intend to follow her out this time.
But seeing how Qu Qiuyan was at a loss before, but now she can sit here quietly, we must know that her first plan failed, so she came up with a second one. Although we don't know what her second plan is, since it comes after the first plan, it must be related to the previous one. It is possible that she used the previous plan as an introduction to prevent the assassination attempt from failing.
If they wanted to take action in the Duke of Qi's Mansion, Qu Qiuyan did not have the ability to do so at the moment, so Qu Qiuyan's helpers must have made preparations outside the mansion long ago.
Just like this assassin, these things are not something that ordinary people can do! She just wanted to see who has such a great ability to operate an assassin and is related to the Ministry of Justice. This ability is really great!
She spoke in a low voice. Many people were paying attention to the two sisters from the Qu family. After hearing what they said, several of them turned around and obviously heard that there was something else behind Qu Moying's words.
Qu Qiuyan gritted her teeth in hatred, but had to turn around and go out. When she got outside, she called a maid from the Duke of Qi's mansion who was guarding outside. After asking her a few questions in a low voice, she took a letter from her hand, then hurried in, walked to sit next to Qu Moying, took out the letter from her sleeve, and quietly handed it to Qu Moying.
"Third sister, I said I don't have any letters to receive, so that letter must be from someone else. If you don't believe me, you can open it and have a look." Qu Moying didn't take it, but shook his hand with a look of vigilance. He leaned to the side, a little further away from Qu Qiuyan.
Her words attracted other people's attention. Many people looked over here and saw Qu Moying's actions. They heard that the two sisters in the Qu family did not have a good relationship because they had different biological mothers, and now it seemed to be true.
As for the matter of the Second Lady of the Qu family, Mrs. Yu, framing the Fourth Miss of the Qu family, and what happened at the Crown Princess's mourning hall, almost everyone knew about it. Now seeing Qu Moying like this, one immediately thought that maybe the Third Miss of the Qu family also wanted to frame the Fourth Miss of the Qu family. This is the Duke of Qi's Mansion, not the Qu Mansion.
This mother and daughter are really doing the same thing. They both want to frame someone else in their place to prevent the matter from being traced back to her.
"Fourth sister, the maid from Duke Qi's mansion was just for you." Qu Qiuyan insisted in a low voice.
Qu Moying simply stood up and stepped back, his eyes fell on Qu Qiuyan with a bit of scrutiny, "Third sister, I told you, this letter has absolutely nothing to do with me. As for whether it was said by the maid of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, didn't the maid of the Duke of Qi's Mansion who I met before also framed me? Fortunately, the eldest son of the Duke of Qi's Mansion found out the truth."
Not many people knew about this, but there were still people who knew about it. After connecting the dots, they began to doubt Qu Qiuyan's words.
Qu Qiuyan was angry and annoyed, she felt that the letter in her hand was worth more than a thousand gold. She originally thought it was a trivial matter. As long as it was done by a maid in the Duke of Qi's mansion, she could just give a little hint. Even if something happened in the future, it would not be traced back to her. But now the letter fell into her hands, she could not send it out, and it was impossible for her to really check it. She didn't know what to do for a while.
"Third sister, please open it in public and see who is framing me this time." Qu Moying was still urging her, and her words already showed that someone was framing her.
Everyone
After looking around, it seems that if anyone wants to frame Qu Moying, then the only person present is Miss Qu San.
She has reasons and conditions to frame him!
Seeing the suspicion in everyone's eyes, Qu Qiuyan felt embarrassed and angry. It was not right to take out the letter now, and it was not right not to take it out either. She stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.
A maidservant pulled open the curtain at the door and the wife of the Duke of Qi walked in slowly.
"Greetings, Madam Duke of Qi." Qu Moying came over and bowed deeply, "Can Madam Duke of Qi be a witness?"
"What's the matter?" Lady Qiguogong felt the atmosphere was weird as she entered the room. As she had seen the world, she naturally would not make a fuss. She sat down on the chair in the middle and asked slowly.
"Just now, my third sister said that a maid from the Duke of Qi's mansion brought in a letter, saying it was for me. I said it wasn't mine, and that I had already received the letter I was supposed to receive. But my third sister said that the letter sent by the maid from the Duke of Qi's mansion must be real, and then she went to receive it and wanted to give it to me secretly. I didn't take it, saying it couldn't be mine. Why don't we ask the wife of the Duke of Qi to take a look for us? Where did this letter come from? I'm not familiar with the people in your mansion, so it's impossible for me to know anyone. The only thing is that I was almost assassinated when I went out before..."
Qu Moying said calmly, looking calm.
"What, he was assassinated? When did it happen?" asked the wife of the Duke of Qi, frowning. She didn't know about this yet. If Qu Moying really got into trouble, and on the way to the Duke of Qi's mansion, her family would also be held responsible.
“When I came to your house before, an assassin suddenly rushed in front of the carriage and tried to stab me. It was almost…” Qu Moying said fearfully, his lips slightly pale, looking really frightened.
The ladies and young ladies present at the scene had no idea about this. They were all so frightened that their faces turned pale and they looked at each other in bewilderment!
No one present had ever encountered such a direct assassination. If there was any assassination, it would be of the royal bloodline. Since when would a daughter of a minister's mansion be assassinated
Most of the ladies present were of higher status than Qu Moying, and they were all frightened.
"What happened next?" Lady Qiguogong reached out and took Qu Moying's hand, looked her up and down, and asked with concern.
"Someone from the Ministry of Justice happened to be there, and they were going to take the person away. Unexpectedly, they ran into someone from the Prince of Yun's Mansion, and then he was taken away by them."
Qu Moying said softly.
"May Buddha bless you, that would be great." Lady Qiguogong praised repeatedly. She sincerely felt that Qu Moying and she got along well.
"I wonder if this letter has anything to do with the assassin." Qu Moying's gaze moved down and landed on Qu Qiuyan's hand, where she was still holding the letter.
Everyone's eyes moved downwards.
Qu Qiuyan immediately felt that the letter in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold, and she couldn't hold it for a moment. It had been confirmed that it was a letter to frame Qu Moying, and it felt as heavy as a mountain when she held it.
Originally, she just wanted to make amends, but she didn't expect it to be a failure. Qu Qiuyan was now thinking about how to take the letter back without making a sound. She was about to laugh dryly and say that she made a mistake, and then go back to find the maid in Duke Qi's mansion, but she heard the wife of Duke Qi say, "Go and get the letter from Miss Qu San."
“No…” Qu Qiuyan wanted to stop him, but a maid came up to her and forcefully snatched the letter from her hand. She stretched out her hand in vain, but failed to catch the letter. She was so anxious that her back felt cold, as she had prepared this letter long ago.
Or rather, it was prepared not only by her but also by her uncle, for one purpose only.
Speaking of the failed assassination attempt, Qu Qiuyan felt it was impossible to fail at the time.
But now that I have really failed, I will come up with another plan, which is in this letter.
The wife of the Duke of Qi took the letter from the maid and looked at the words on it. It really did say "To Miss Qu Si".
For a moment, he looked at Qu Moying who was standing aside, but saw that she was standing there calmly. Even though her face was covered with a wide veil, he could still sense her composure. The so-called "Miss Qu Si, accept me" had no effect on her, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"He really did use Miss Qu Si's name. I will find out who bribed the servants in this mansion later." Lady Qiguogong snorted coldly.
Just now, a servant had reported to her the dispute between the two young ladies of the Qu family. Lady Qi, the Duke of Qi, stood on Qu Moying's side without hesitation.
What this means is that someone must have framed Qu Moying.
Qu Qiuyan was anxious and panicked. She never expected that the wife of the Duke of Qi would intervene so strongly and stand on Qu Moying's side. Sweat began to break out on her fair forehead.
The letter was sealed. The wife of the Duke of Qi tore open the letter, took it out, and read it in two or three seconds. After finishing reading, her eyes fell on Qu Qiuyan. Although her face was calm, her eyes were deep. Qu Qiuyan became more and more uneasy. She lowered her head and dared not look up at the wife of the Duke of Qi.
She only felt that the wife of the Duke of Qi had a scorching gaze, which made her feel uncomfortable and under great pressure.
Everyone in the flower hall calmed down and looked at this scene. No one saw what was said in the letter, but it was certain that this matter was related to the two young ladies of the Qu Mansion. Didn’t you see that after reading the letter, the wife of Duke Qi kept looking at Miss Qu San? Could it be that this was really a letter from Miss Qu San to frame Miss Qu Si
"Miss Qu San..." Lady Qiguogong said slowly.
"Madam, this letter was delivered by a maid from the Duke of Qi's mansion. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone. I just happened to pass by and was stopped!" Qu Qiuyan said hurriedly, trying to calm the panic in her heart. She glanced around. Even the wife of the Duke of Qi could not accuse her without evidence.
This letter has nothing to do with me. I am just a message receiver and messenger. When I was at the door just now, other servants in the Duke of Qi's Mansion saw it.
"Miss Qu San, do you recognize the person who comes?" asked the wife of the Duke of Qi.
"Recognize... recognize him. If I see him again, I will definitely recognize him." Qu Qiuyan said hurriedly, clearing herself and secretly feeling relieved. She was not afraid of being investigated.
How could that maid really be a member of the Duke of Qi's Mansion? My uncle took advantage of the fact that there were so many people here today and sneaked in with someone else. She was just wearing clothes from the Duke of Qi's Mansion. It would be impossible to find out if they really checked.
Qu Moying smiled slightly, looked at the wife of the Duke of Qi calmly, and waited for her punishment. If she had known that the wife of the Duke of Qi was a powerful person, it would not be so easy for Qu Qiuyan to get away with it.
"Someone, go to the back gate and see where the carriage came from that wants to secretly take Miss Qu away from my house." The wife of the Duke of Qi looked at Qu Qiuyan's reaction and suddenly said in a cold voice. She did not check the maid's matter, but ordered a maid standing next to her.
Qu Qiuyan's heart was heavy again, and her face changed drastically. She was only concerned about the maid's affairs at the time, but did not ask about the carriage waiting at the back door. She was so panicked that her hands and feet were cold...
Qu Moying raised her eyebrows slightly: "Madam, can you send a maid to take a look?"
