Qu Qiuyan's crime was ultimately unforgivable, at least the fact that she and Qu Caiyue had a fight was a fact.
The lady was also angry this time. She reprimanded Qu Qiuyan severely and warned her that if it happened again, she would be punished according to the family rules.
As for tomorrow when I go to the Great Compassion Temple and get the Buddhist scriptures, even if I am not under house arrest, I will copy them a hundred times.
These words were said in front of all the servants in Furong Pavilion. Qu Qiuyan was severely humiliated this time, and in front of the servants.
Her freshly washed face was angry and red. Although she lowered her head and responded one by one, it was obvious that she was gritting her teeth secretly.
Qu Moying stood quietly beside the lady, his eyes coldly falling on Qu Qiuyan, then he glanced at the servants in the yard, all of whom were from Qu Qiuyan's yard, standing very full, more than half the number of people in his own yard, which also showed how powerful Qu Qiuyan was.
Her eyes fell on a middle-aged woman in the crowd. This middle-aged woman was a little strange, and it was this strangeness that attracted Qu Moying's attention.
When she entered the room, she clearly remembered that this old woman was playing Pu Qu Qiuyan and seemed to be saying something to her. However, as soon as the lady came in, she hid aside. Her movements were not big, and she was not conspicuous among the group of old women. However, the other old women obviously overreacted and backed away one by one, as if they were very afraid of her.
Now when she stood in the middle of the place, this old woman was pushed to the front of the crowd. This was the subconscious reaction of others, which showed that this old woman had some power among other servants in the past, and was even next to the old woman who was in charge of this courtyard. But then she squeezed into the crowd without making a sound, and even squeezed to the back of the crowd.
This... Could it be the suspicious Madam Qing? Qu Moying looked at her carefully through her veil. She had heard about this Madam Qing from a few of her confidants, but had never seen her. She was only said to be very popular with Qu Qiuyan, but she was not a housekeeper.
The day before the assassination attempt, it was this Nanny Qing who left the house. As for the other people around Qu Qiuyan, none of them went out. It is obvious that if the news of the assassination attempt was passed on by Qu Qiuyan, it must have been passed on by this Nanny Qing on behalf of Qu Qiuyan.
Such a person, who has only been in the mansion for a short time, can gain Qu Qiuyan's trust. The meaning behind this is definitely not simple.
So, this old woman is very suspicious.
Qu Moying withdrew his gaze and glanced at Yu Dong who was standing aside, and then looked at the old woman. Yu Dong's gaze followed wisely, and then he also saw the old woman. He immediately understood what Qu Moying meant, and nodded calmly, indicating that this person was it.
Regarding the matter of Nanny Qing, Qu Moying also asked Yu Dong to investigate in the mansion, and he also knew this person.
"Ying girl, let's go back." The lady stood up and said, looking tired. She was old and weak, and she was upset by her anger just now. She felt very weak.
My nanny quickly reached out and supported her.
"Grandma, please go back first. I have something to ask my third sister." Qu Moying said softly.
The old lady looked at her worriedly, and Qu Moying hurriedly comforted her, "Grandma, I just want to ask about the matter of the second sister. I sent a maid to give a gift to the second sister before, and then the second sister beat my maid and ran to the third sister. Is there any reason behind this?"
Qu Moying said it very frankly. She couldn't hide the fact that she sent Yu Dong there.
See her God
The mood was natural and gentle. The lady thought about it and finally agreed. She glanced at Qu Qiuyan standing aside and her face darkened: "What's going on between you and Caiyue? Talk to your sister."
The old lady thought that Qu Moying would never be able to resolve his heart knot. She couldn't find out for the time being whether Qu Qiuyan and Qu Caiyue had conspired to frame Qu Moying, and she couldn't force Qu Moying to leave now.
The bias in her words was obvious. Qu Qiuyan was angry and resentful, but she had to bow her head and answer: "Yes, Grandmother!"
The lady gave Qu Moying a few more gentle instructions before leaving with her people.
Qu Qiuyan slowly raised her head, looked at the servants in the yard, turned coldly and walked towards the main house, and Qu Moying followed.
Qingju waved her hand and the servants dispersed immediately. However, Yudong noticed that Nanny Qing was always paying attention to the main house. Although she was also retreating, she was retreating backwards, which was slightly different from ordinary people.
When she noticed Yudong was looking at her, she immediately turned and left.
This person is suspicious!
The two men went back into the room and sat down on either side. The maid brought them tea, and they each took a sip, but said nothing.
At this point, Qu Qiuyan didn't know what to say to Qu Moying, and the room became eerily quiet.
"Fourth sister, what do you want to talk to me about?" Qu Qiuyan asked after a long while.
"Don't you know, Third Sister?" Qu Moying asked back.
"I don't understand what you mean." Qu Qiuyan became more and more unhappy.
Qu Moying smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his lips: "Qu Qiuyan, is there anything you don't understand between you and me?"
"What do you mean?" Qu Qiuyan was suddenly shocked.
"Do you really think no one knows that you and Qu Caiyue conspired to murder me?" Qu Moying's smile became colder and colder, and he raised the corners of his lips. "What happened back then, what happened today, I don't know if the King Jing can give me a high position now."
It is impossible for King Jing to marry Qu Qiuyan, this is an established fact.
It was as if a scar in her heart was brutally opened. Qu Qiuyan raised her hateful eyes and glared at Qu Moying, unable to control the hatred in her heart.
"Qu Moying, are you very proud?"
"I'm not proud, I'm just stating a fact. It's a pity that King Jing probably never thought of marrying you, and you are still dreaming that all this is true." Qu Moying knew how to say it when Qu Qiuyan could not control herself the most, so he poked directly at her wound.
"Qu Moying, you bitch..."
"Third sister is panicking, but it's no use panicking. Your ending is destined to be bad. Not only you, but also your mother will not have a good ending." Qu Moying said leisurely, and even elegantly picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip slowly, and then put it down, with a bright smile on the corner of her lips.
"Third sister, you look very angry? But what's the point of being angry? I am destined to be a legitimate daughter, and a legitimate one in a legitimate way. Your life experience is much more embarrassing. A concubine's daughter, even if she is forced to be a legitimate daughter now, it is just fake. The royal family pays the most attention to these things, so how could they really marry you? Third sister, please don't be deceived."
Qu Moying stood up and spoke more and more sarcastically and fiercely, shattering all of Qu Qiuyan's delusions.
In fact, deep down in her heart, she was also deeply inferior and felt that she was not worthy of King Jing. But later she gradually became arrogant and felt that King Jing loved her deeply.
None of them were a problem, but what happened to Qu Caiyue made her realize these things again, and now Qu Moying directly broke all her disguises.
Qu Qiuyan stood up suddenly and shouted angrily: "Qu Moying."
Seeing her so angry, Qu Moying became even more calm. He raised his hand slightly and shook it gently, then said gently: "Third sister, I'm here. Is there anything you need from me? Third sister looks like she's going to get angry. If she really gets angry, grandma will definitely not let you go. She just scolded me in front of the servants, so next time, I think she will use the family rules in front of the servants!"
After saying that, he added with a smile on his face, "I heard that the family rules in our house use a pretty big stick. If this really hits Third Sister, I wonder if she can survive it."
These words brought back some bad memories for Qu Qiuyan. She had never been beaten, but Yu had been. She remembered that once Yu had done something she didn't know, but was scolded and beaten by the lady-in-waiting, and the family rules were used. That time, Yu was carried back unconscious, and Qu Qiuyan was so scared that she cried and made a fuss, and she dared not contradict the lady-in-waiting again from then on.
Thinking about it now, I still feel scared.
The anger that had risen to her head subsided immediately. Her fingers trembled and she suppressed her anger with force. At this moment, she could not quarrel with Qu Moying anymore, and could not anger the lady anymore, even if her father was protecting her.
"Qu Moying, are you here to cause trouble on purpose?"
"Looking for trouble? What can I do? I just think you and my second sister are really interesting. You two have fallen into this situation because of your own fault. It is true that good deeds will be rewarded with good and evil deeds will be punished with evil. It's not that there is no retribution, but the time has not come yet." Qu Moying smiled and said, "We are going to Dabei Temple tomorrow, so please be careful, third sister."
Qu Qiuyan's heart skipped a beat. "What should I be careful about?"
"Be careful, God is watching what you do. The Bodhisattva knows it all." Qu Moying said indifferently, turned around and left with his men.
Qu Qiuyan was left alone behind her, gritting her teeth in hatred, but unable to do anything about her.
This is the effect she wants...
A maid quietly entered the main room. It was Nanny Qing.
"Miss."
"Madam Qing, what's your plan?" She couldn't wait any longer. Her uncle would take care of the assassination, and he sent someone to say that nothing would happen.
“I can mix some incense, but it may not work... Maybe... Maybe..." Nanny Qing said hesitantly.
"Was it used in the palace before?" Qu Qiuyan said hatefully.
"It was used in the palace before, but... it may not work. The fourth young lady doesn't look easy to deal with." Nanny Qing said.
"What's so difficult about dealing with him? He's just a blind man who relies on his grandmother and treats a cheap girl as a treasure." Qu Qiuyan snorted coldly. After hearing what Qu Moying said, the anger in her chest could not be relieved. She even felt that as long as she saw Qu Moying's face, she would remember all the frustrating things again.
"Yes, I will go and prepare. I may have to go out of the house once." Nanny Qing nodded.
"Go!" Qu Qiuyan said. She was still in charge of the affairs of the mansion, so it was not a big deal to let a servant leave the mansion.
"I'll take my leave." Nanny Qing said, then she stepped out. When she reached the door, she frowned heavily, then turned and left.
With things like this, Qu Qiuyan's value has been relatively low, so she has to report this to her master...
