"Miss Qu Si, can you sit there?" Liu Jingyu stood at the door, not in a hurry to leave, and pointed to the stone table under the tree in the yard.
Qu Moying looked behind her and didn't see the maid following her closely, so she nodded thoughtfully.
The two of them went over and sat down on the stone bench in front of the stone table. Yudong called the housekeeper of Furong Pavilion and asked her to prepare tea and snacks.
This housekeeper was newly promoted, so she naturally tried to curry favor with the boss and hurriedly asked the maid to prepare tea.
"Miss Qu Si, can I ask if Miss Qu San has ever had this kind of thing happen to her before?" Liu Jingyu asked as soon as they sat down.
"I don't know. The county lady should know that I have never been here before." Qu Moying said calmly, watching Yu Dong busying around and asking the maids to serve tea quickly, the corners of his lips curled slightly.
Liu Jingyu was silent for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Qu Moying with a sincere look: "Fourth Miss Qu, I have never met you before, and what I know about you is just what others say. I may not like you very much, but that's all. I was indeed a little subjective this time, but in the end it was really an accident, and I didn't really have any bad intentions."
Her words explained what happened before, and she did not completely shirk responsibility. She even vaguely admitted that she knew some things about Qu Qiuyan at the time, but did not take any action. On the one hand, she felt that the matter was not serious, and on the other hand, she also wanted to see what Qu Qiuyan wanted to do. As for the final result, it was not what she could have imagined.
Of course, she also vaguely expressed that she was somewhat displeased with Qu Moying, also because of the rumors she heard from others.
As for who spread the rumor, Qu Moying had no way of getting her to say it.
These few words were flawless and the explanation was very clear, but when I thought about it carefully, I felt that there was no real evidence. Liu Jingyu was really a powerful person.
He was so angry that he almost lost control before, but after such a short period of time, he actually calmed down again and was able to say such words. He suffered such a big loss, but he was still able to do this.
However, Qu Moying knew more than Liu Jingyu thought.
"I wonder what kind of rumors the county lord heard that made him think I'm not good?" Qu Moying didn't ask who the rumor was about, but only asked this question, "I don't think there's anything wrong with the rumors out there!"
This is what Liu Jingyu originally said. As for Qu Moying asking who spread the rumor, she naturally did not need to explain her identity to Qu Moying. But now Qu Moying's words came from a very natural direction. If she did not explain, it would seem that what she said just now was too perfunctory.
After a pause, he said, "Just talking about Miss Qu Si's marriage to the son of the Yongning Marquis, it seems that Miss Qu Si's intention is involved!"
"So what?" Qu Moying smiled slightly, without a trace of fireworks. "The county lord also thinks that if a man is unfaithful and wants to follow another woman to harm you, will you still marry her well?"
"Of course not, but the Prince of Yongning doesn't seem to be that kind of person." This was all Liu Jingyu could say at this time.
"Lord Jingyu is very familiar with the son of Marquis Yongning? Did he say that?" Qu Moying smiled.
Liu Jingyu was startled, and his face immediately darkened: "What does Fourth Miss Qu mean?"
If Xu Lipeng hadn't picked up the sachet, Liu Jingyu could still say that she thought Yongning Houzi was good because of what she saw and heard, but now
But she couldn't say anything, she couldn't have a say in anything related to Xu Lipeng in the future.
"I heard that the Yongning Marquis' Mansion and the Qiguo Duke's Mansion are also old friends. I thought the two families had a good relationship, so I knew some things." Qu Moying said generously.
It was as if this was exactly what she had just asked.
Liu Jingyu's face looked ugly. This matter has not been resolved yet. Even if the matter of Qu Mansion was resolved, the most important thing was not Qu Mansion.
Thinking of this, he felt bored and didn't want to say anything to Qu Moying anymore. He stood up and said, "Fourth Miss Qu, my father is still waiting for me outside. I won't say any more to you."
Qu Moying also stood up and said with a smile: "Jingyu County Lord, please!"
Liu Jingyu nodded and left with the maid who had just walked out behind her. Qu Moying sent her to the gate of the courtyard and watched her leave before returning with Yu Dong.
In the inner room, Qu Qiuyan had already sat up, her face pale and ugly, the gauze curtain had been hung up, and the clothes on one of her arms were lifted up, making it red and swollen.
Seeing Qu Qiuyan clenching her teeth in pain, I knew she was burned quite badly. Liu Jingyu also deliberately took some time, which must have been intentional.
"Go get a doctor for Third Sister." Qu Moying took a look and instructed Qingju.
Qingju looked at Qu Qiuyan hesitantly and didn't dare to respond.
"No need!" Qu Qiuyan shook her head. "My father gave me medicine for burns."
This had been prepared in advance. In this case, Qu Moying did not want to get involved anymore. Qu Qiuyan had only herself to blame.
After glancing at the two people indifferently, Qu Moying turned and left.
Yu Dong followed closely, and only said after they were out of the courtyard gate, "Miss, I heard the maidservant beside Jingyu County Lord talking to Qingju. When I was in the corridor ordering the preparation of tea, I paid special attention to the movements in the room. It didn't sound like they were asking about the Third Miss's condition. Qingju's voice was unconsciously a little loud, and it was obvious that she was panicking."
Yudong went to the corridor to urge the maids to hurry up because he saw that Jingyu County Lady's maid had not come out yet.
Qu Moying was silent for a moment, his eyes drooped slightly, and he sneered in his heart. Liu Jingyu had come up with a second plan after failing to get his first plan. He had just started talking to him in order to divert his attention.
"You just keep an eye on Furong Courtyard. Since there is action, it will be quick. Third sister can't stand it." Qu Moying said coldly.
Qu Qiuyan suffered a loss again this time, and it turned out to be such a mess. Just when she was furious and had no place to vent, Liu Jingyu's timing of calculation was really good.
How could Qu Qiuyan still endure this...
The note was very old and had turned yellow, but one could tell that the paper was of excellent quality, Chengxin paper, which not everyone could afford.
There was a line of words written on it: "See you at Yueyi Pavilion, I have something important to tell you!"
Then came the signature. If Qu Qiuyan hadn't mentioned the signature, she would have never known that it was actually the handwriting of Minister Liu, and it was actually written by Second Madam Qu.
Judging from the date of the signature, this Second Madam Qu was not his own mother, Yu, but Qu Moying’s biological mother, Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue actually knew this Minister Liu, and their relationship seemed unusual, even a little ambiguous.
Qu Qiuyan held the note tightly in her hand, her face dark.
There was something eerie in the room. She had never been able to find Qu Moying's weakness, but had she found it now
It was actually given to her by Liu Jingyu.
But I don’t know whether it’s true or not
Qingju stood beside the bed in panic, and she still couldn't calm down. The note was given to her by the maid of Jingyu County Lord.
He only said one sentence: "Check the relationship between our master and your former second wife. Our county lord heard that there are some questions about the background of your fourth young lady."
She was so scared that she almost dropped what she was holding on the ground. It was the maid who took the tray from her and put it on the table for her.
Qingju didn't even know what she said at that time. Then the note was stuffed into her hand and she watched the maid leave.
As soon as he left, the lady on the bed sat up suddenly and asked him to show her the note. However, just as she picked it up, the fourth lady came in and she quickly hid it.
Now the note was spread out on the small table in front of the young lady. Qingju could also read, so she read it clearly. She felt shivers all over and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Miss...Miss..." Seeing that Qu Qiuyan hadn't said anything, Qingju called out in panic.
"I want to see my mother." Qu Qiuyan suddenly interrupted her, raised her head, looked at Qingju with a bit of coldness, and thought of a way to let me see my mother once.
"Miss... Want to ask Madam?" Qingju tried to calm herself, or to appear calm. Only she knew that there was a chill on her back, and she even had a bad premonition.
This is not the first time that the young lady of the family has plotted against the fourth young lady, but every time it is the third young lady who suffers. Now she has become the concubine of King Jing, and her arms are burned like this.
Qingju was really scared. She was afraid that this time it would be worse than before.
“Miss, why don’t you think of a solution after you enter Prince Jing’s Mansion!” Qing Ju advised in a low voice. She was really afraid of Qu Moying and really didn’t dare to help the young lady plot against the fourth young lady anymore.
"Let's talk about the future later. I can't wait any longer. I want to see my mother tonight." Qu Qiuyan waved her hand impatiently.
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Qingju didn't dare to persuade her anymore. She knew that if she continued, the Third Miss would get angry, so she nodded.
"Can you apply medicine to me?" Qu Qiuyan said with a gloomy face.
This time she was almost wiped out, luckily her father found a way to save her. Her hands were burning with pain, but she felt more aggrieved. How could Qu Moying be fine while she was in trouble
This note looks real. As long as it is real, it will be easy to deal with. Even if Qu Moying is her father’s biological daughter, she will make her a bastard.
The legitimate daughter of the Qu family can only be me, and only me!
Qingju was quite efficient and had finished her work by dinner time. After dinner, Qu Qiuyan, wrapped in a large cloak, took Qingju and sneaked into Yu's house through the back door, then went to the main house in the front.
There was an oil lamp lit in the main room. Yu was half lying on the bed, looking dark and gloomy. Her whole body exuded a sense of decadence that made Qu Qiuyan disgusted, and there was also a kind of silent stench. Qu Qiuyan really couldn't like her.
Yu was very excited to see Qu Qiuyan, "Yan'er, Yan'er, you came to see me!"
