Yu Dong was stunned and looked at Mr. Qi in astonishment!
"Just two days ago!" Qu Moying looked at Qi Xiuran quietly, "That day when I came back from the palace, at the door, Nanny Yan took it from a servant and said that he was a servant from the Duke of Qi's mansion and the carriage he used was also from the Duke of Qi's mansion. She said that the music score was sent to me by the eldest son."
Qu Moying said calmly, turned around and nodded to Yudong.
Yu Dong stepped forward, took out the music score that he had prepared long ago and presented it to her. Originally he thought that the young lady's behavior was inappropriate, as it was not appropriate to return a gift to someone in person.
Only now did I realize that the young lady was indeed smart. She had noticed the difference in the music score early on and had made special preparations.
Qi Xiuran also realized that something was wrong. He took it and flipped through it twice, then raised his head and said seriously, "Miss Qu Si, I didn't send you the music score."
Looking at Qi Xiuran's expression, Qu Moying smiled slightly, "In that case, the music score should be placed in the hands of Master Qi?"
"Okay!" Qi Xiuran nodded and handed the music score in his hand to the servant behind him, indicating that he would take over the task.
Being able to use the carriage of the Duke of Qi's Mansion and letting the servants wear the clothes of the Duke of Qi's servants, this originally meant that this matter was related to someone in the Duke of Qi's Mansion, otherwise outsiders would not be able to use these things.
It would be best for Qi Xiuran to investigate this matter. After all, Qu Moying is an outsider and there are many things he cannot find out, and it is not convenient for him to investigate.
"Master Qi, I heard that the Duke of Qi once fought a war in the Northern Frontier, and was at odds with the current Northern Frontier Imperial Court for several years?" After the matter was settled, Qu Moying did not leave immediately.
"My grandfather did fight in a war in Northern Frontier. It was a long time ago. At that time, Northern Frontier was defeated and was chased by my grandfather to their imperial court. All the royal family members fled, and Northern Frontier was almost destroyed that time." Qi Xiuran smiled. This was the thing that Duke Qi was most proud of. As the grandson, he had heard his grandfather talk about it again and again, and his ears were almost callused.
There were actually some small follow-ups to this matter. Qu Moying didn't ask too much, and Qi Xiuran certainly wouldn't explain too much. He planned to explain it in detail if Qu Moying asked again. After all, as a grandson, he was also very proud of this matter.
This time Qu Moying did not respond, as if she had said everything she wanted to say. She bowed sideways, then walked back with Yu Dong. She was just walking casually at first, and saw that Xu Lipeng was coming over just now, and Qi Xiuran was planning to go in the same direction. That should be the outer courtyard, and it would not be appropriate for her to go over there.
Qi Xiuran felt inexplicably disappointed. He had originally planned to talk about this matter in detail, but seeing that Qu Moying was just speaking casually, he smiled awkwardly, shook his head and went to the outer courtyard.
"Miss, I have put it away, and no one has come over there yet." Yu Dong followed, and only reported in a low voice when there was no one around.
No one? No one for such a long time
It seemed that the maid from the Duke of Qi's mansion came specifically to open the door for Qu Qiuyan.
Even if it takes a long time to find something, what about the other servants? Aren't they supposed to prepare a banquet? You can't let a maid do it, right
"It's okay, let's just do this and go back!" Since he already understood the meaning, Qu Moying didn't hesitate any more and nodded.
"Miss, why is the Lord of Jingyu County like this?" Yu Dong asked in a low voice.
They were the only two people on the path, master and servant, so they were not afraid of being heard by others.
"Maybe it's because of the conflict of fate!" Qu Moying smiled faintly, saying it nonchalantly, but his eyes were cold.
This Lady of Jingyu County is really haunting her. Although she still hasn't fully understood the specific reason why Liu Jingyu wants to deal with her, she is not the kind of person who will not fight back when being beaten and even has to give up her other half of her face. Since Liu Jingyu can do it on the first day, she can certainly do it on the fifteenth day.
"Miss, could it be that she was the one who was involved in the music score?" Yu Dong suddenly remembered the music score and said with a flash of inspiration.
Qu Moying was silent for a while, and finally shook his head: "Not necessarily!"
"How can it be possible
"Besides this Lord Jingyu, is there anyone else who can use the carriage of the Duke of Qi's Mansion and command the servants of the Duke of Qi's Mansion?" Yu Dong asked anxiously.
"It seems to be gone!" Qu Moying laughed at his anxious tone, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. "It seems to be gone, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Maybe the target is not me, but it may be this eldest son of Qi. After all, the title of Duke of Qi is not in the hands of this eldest son."
It seems that the threat to the piano score may not necessarily lie to him. Qu Moying is not very clear about the situation in the Duke of Qi's Mansion and just made a guess based on his feeling.
Yu Dong was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked tentatively: "Miss, do you think that you might be implicated in the fight for the title?"
"It's possible!" Qu Moying nodded. In fact, she had another direction in mind, but this direction seemed impossible no matter how she thought about it.
It was never mentioned again.
The fight for the title has always been gentle and friendly on the surface, but stabbing and ruthless in the back. The so-called brotherhood is ultimately worse than that of a stranger.
Isn't that what happens with daddy
"Some people, for the sake of title, can disregard all human ethics." These words were spoken from the heart. After I finished speaking, my heart was startled and I felt an uncomfortable pain. I exhaled forcefully and then I suppressed the repressed hatred that was churning in my heart.
Yu Dong stopped talking. After thinking about it, he felt that what the young lady said was true. He had seen too many cases of people fighting for titles.
If this title falls on a good family, it means brothers and sisters will get along and everyone will be close to each other; if it falls on a family with malicious intentions, it will be the source of disaster. Even though the Great Zhou has been established for so many years, there is no big family that has not experienced such a thing, and fratricide is not a surprise.
Not to mention such a big family, even the previous Rebellion of the Three Kings was not all for the supreme throne
Isn’t it the same for the Crown Prince and King Jing now
Yu Dong stopped asking questions, and Qu Moying stopped talking either. She walked back slowly, biting the corners of her lips tightly. Some bad memories deep in her memory came up little by little, and she didn't want to say anything at this moment.
"Fourth sister?" Suddenly a voice came from the front of the road, and someone called her.
Qu Moying raised her head and saw Qu Qiuyan and several other young ladies together. They were walking towards her and when they saw her, they called out softly and gently.
Suppressing all the emotions in her heart, Qu Moying took two steps forward and bowed to Qu Qiuyan. In the eyes of outsiders, even though the two people had a bad relationship, one was the elder sister and the other was the younger sister.
The dignity of the entire Qu family must be taken into consideration when necessary. Of course, when this consideration reaches Qu Moying's bottom line, she will no longer show mercy.
"Where did Fourth Sister come from?" Qu Qiuyan looked confused, as if she really didn't see Qu Moying just now, and didn't leave Qu Moying there and walked away by herself.
She felt free to leave in such a crowded place, but she left Xu Lipeng and Qu Moying behind. Qu Moying had no maid with her at that time, and Xu Lipeng was malicious towards Qu Moying.
"Miss Third didn't see our young lady just now? When I came over, I saw Miss Third and our young lady in front from a distance?" Yu Dong asked with a look of surprise, speaking his mind.
It was against the rules for Yudong, a maid, to interrupt the master while he was speaking, but it also showed that this was a fact, otherwise a maid would not dare to respond so bluntly.
Qu Moying looked at Yu Dong with displeasure.
Yu Dong understood and hurriedly bowed to Qu Qiuyan to apologize: "Miss Third, I was too surprised and lost my manners. I hope you will punish me!"
"Third sister, Yudong is rude!" Qu Moying said lightly.
He did not comment on Yudong's words!
Their words caused the young ladies to look at the two of them. Qu Moying looked calm, and Qu Qiuyan was also calm, but a little annoyed. It seemed that there was something else going on. Could there be something going on? The young ladies sensed it keenly.
It is said that the two young ladies of the Qu family are not getting along. In this situation, it is hard to say who is right and who is wrong.
What Qu Qiuyan meant just now was that she had just seen Fourth Miss Qu and didn't know where she came from. However, Fourth Miss Qu's maid said that Third Miss Qu was with Fourth Miss Qu just now.
If this is true, Miss Qu San seems to have ulterior motives, and is too hypocritical.
None of the ladies are stupid and they won't be used as a knife for no reason.
Qu Qiuyan was indeed very annoyed. If Qu Moying had said this, she would have had a response. In fact, she particularly hoped that Qu Moying would question her. Then she could naturally bring up the matter of Xu Lipeng and say that Xu Lipeng came to Qu Moying to ask something. This would pave the way for Xu Lipeng to get Qu Moying's sachet later.
After that, no matter what Xu Lipeng said, he had evidence.
But it was Yu Dong who said these words, and Qu Moying herself said nothing and asked nothing. Even if she wanted to take him over, it would not be natural. Moreover, Yu Dong apologized immediately after he said it, and with Qu Moying's words as a backup, she could not really punish Yu Dong at this time.
Yu Dong is Qu Moying's person, so even if she is beating a dog, she still has to look at the owner. Moreover, on the way here just now, several young ladies have been asking her and Qu Moying's relationship in a roundabout way, hinting that her relationship with Qu Moying is really bad, and is it because of Qu Moying's biological mother
There was also a more radical one who even hinted whether she really followed Yu to harm Qu Moying
Qu Qiuyan was annoyed by these words, but she had to suppress it. Now Yu Dong had given her another not-so-serious setback, and it was the kind that made her unable to get angry. She was holding back her anger.
Fortunately, I still remember clearly that this is not Qu Mansion.
"I was just taking a walk outside. Did Fourth Sister see me? But I didn't see you. Maybe we missed each other!" Qu Qiuyan had to explain because of what a little maid said. She waved her hand, suppressed the anger in her heart, and smiled as she motioned Yu Dong to get up. She would not argue with the maid around Qu Moying because of her status.
For the sake of the next scene, she couldn't afford to be estranged from Qu Moying at this time. The better she behaved now, the more likely it would be that when things got out of hand, no matter what she said, others would not misunderstand her, let alone suspect her.
Qu Qiuyan's generous and appropriate words, without arguing with her sister's maid, did have a great effect and dispelled many of the young ladies' doubts.
Qu Qiuyan was also born into a noble family. Even if she didn't like her younger sister, she couldn't be so obvious about it, especially in the Duke of Qi's Mansion.
Who doesn't have one or two troublesome sisters in their family? When everyone goes out, they are all smiling and harmonious.
Rumors? Aren't they always untrustworthy
"Why didn't Fourth Sister call me when she saw me? Is there someone else there?" Qu Qiuyan swallowed the anger in her heart and tried to shift the blame to Xu Lipeng.
"I didn't see it. Maybe I was a little far behind Third Sister. Yudong looked over as if we were together." Qu Moying said lightly, and bowed to Qu Qiuyan. After the surface was over, she didn't intend to show sisterly affection with Qu Qiuyan. It was enough for everyone to maintain the surface affection. "I won't disturb Third Sister and the other ladies to enjoy the scenery. Miss Qi is still waiting for me."
After hearing what she said, several young ladies bowed with a smile. Although Qi Xiangyu of the Duke of Qi's Mansion was not a county princess, as the only legitimate granddaughter of the Duke of Qi, her status was extraordinary even though her father was a bastard.
Qu Qiuyan opened her mouth and wanted to call out to Qu Moying. Before she could turn the conversation to Xu Lipeng, how could Qu Moying leave
With just one or two more words, she could bring up the subject.
But in the end he never said this and could only watch Qu Moying leave.
Everyone knows that their relationship is average, and if she continues to show affection, it will only make others suspicious...
