"They have nothing to do with each other!" Xu Lipeng interrupted her.
Yan Yu told him about this.
"But if they really have a relationship, will Second Young Master Yan marry Fourth Young Miss Qu?" Yu Qingmeng asked curiously.
"No!" Xu Lipeng answered affirmatively.
"Why? If Second Young Master Yan really likes Fourth Young Master Qu and is determined to marry her, Fengyang Marquis's Mansion may not necessarily disagree. After all, Second Young Master Yan is not the eldest son of Fengyang Marquis's Mansion, so his requirements are not that high." Yu Qingmeng looked puzzled, but once again mentioned the possibility that Yan Yu might marry Qu Moying.
The matter, which had no idea at first, became somewhat real after she repeated it several times.
Xu Lipeng inexplicably considered the possibility of this matter.
Qu Moying and Yan Yu? Let Yan Yu marry Qu Moying? Yan Yu's personality was actually very romantic. If he married Qu Moying, she would just be a decoration and he would definitely not care too much about her. If she married Yan Yu, she would definitely feel more uncomfortable than marrying herself. After all, she would still give her the dignity of being the legal wife in front of others. Yan Yu was such a scoundrel, she definitely couldn't do that.
"Prince, the second young master Yan is here!" a servant reported at the door.
"Please ask him to come in!" Xu Lipeng smiled and let go of Yu Qingmeng in his arms.
Yu Qingmeng also stood up, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, turned and went into the inner room. Although she and Yan Yu were very familiar with each other, it was better to avoid him at this time.
Yan Yu came in, greeted each other with a smile, and then sat down as host and guest.
"I heard that you were here too, so I hurried over to see you. I didn't expect it to be true. I thought that now that you have a beautiful wife, it would be impossible for you to come and visit sometimes." Yan Yu said with a smile, and patted the folding fan in his hand, raised his peach-like eyes, and said meaningfully.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Xu Lipeng sighed, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"What's wrong? Did something bad happen? Well, the marriage with the Qu family has been called off, and from now on your two families are no longer related. What else is there to worry about?" Yan Yu leaned back and asked lazily.
"That day, it was really an accident. Miss Qu Si was a pitiful woman, and now she has broken off the engagement. It's all my fault that she has fallen to this point. I shouldn't have gone down to save her that day. I did say this kind of thing before, saying that the noble ladies in the capital have good character... I didn't expect that I would really encounter it."
Xu Lipeng lowered his head, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.
Yan Yu was among the people around him that day. When he jumped down to save people, Yan Yu pulled his sleeve and signaled him not to go down.
"This is not your fault. Who knew that this Second Miss Duan would be such a person?" Yan Yu and Xu Lipeng have been good friends since childhood, so of course he stood on Xu Lipeng's side and put the blame entirely on Second Miss Duan Duan Jinxiang, who had "bad character".
In fact, it was not just Yan Yu who said this, many ladies from aristocratic families in the capital said the same thing.
She originally wanted to save people with good intentions, but unexpectedly, she ended up ruining an engagement that had been arranged for more than ten years. Qu Moying is the most sympathetic person, and this is why, although her engagement was broken off, her reputation is much better than that of other girls whose engagements were broken off.
Duan Jinxiang had to bear all the consequences, so naturally Qu Moying would suffer less.
"I'm sorry Miss Qu Si." Xu Lipeng said with a serious face, then his eyes fell on Yan Yu, hesitant for a moment, and then he spoke, "I heard that you are here... and have something to do with Miss Qu Si.
"Yes, could it be that you... have taken a fancy to her?"
"No, no, how could I possibly like her." Yan Yu shook his hands and explained hastily, "This matter really has nothing to do with me. I just want to vent your anger. I heard that it was this Miss Qu Si who planned for you to go into the water to save someone that day. Is this true?"
"That... I don't know either." Xu Lipeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "At that time, I heard that the Second Miss Duan originally followed the First Miss Duan, and it was the Fourth Miss Qu who took the First Miss Duan away, so... that's when this happened. Although the Fourth Miss Qu's appearance and talent are a little lacking, her character shouldn't be so bad. It must be a rumor!"
Xu Lipeng's words were uncertain and hesitant, which was different from his usual appearance. Yan Yu's eyes fell on Xu Lipeng with a smile, his eyes were full of peach blossoms, and he still laughed and joked as usual: "That's not necessarily true. Some women look pitiful, but they are actually the most vicious. Who knows if Miss Qu Si is such a person."
"Brother Yan, you can't criticize the young lady's reputation!" Xu Lipeng stopped him with a serious face.
"Alas, what are you afraid of? There are only two of us here, and we have always had a close relationship. Even if we say something a little outrageous, so what? The prince is just too gentlemanly, which is why this marriage has been delayed for so long. Now that he has finally broken off the engagement, he has to marry someone like that. This really breaks the hearts of all the young ladies and rich girls in the capital."
Yan Yu is a good singer and composer.
This made Xu Lipeng laugh, and after reminiscing about the past, Yan Yu saw that it was almost time, so he said goodbye and left.
When Yan Yu walked out of the yard, he saw Yu Qingmeng sitting under a tree outside admiring the flowers, so he strode over.
"Hello, Second Young Master Yan." Yu Qingmeng had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw him coming forward, he stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"Aunt Yu!" Yan Yu cupped his hands.
"Has Second Young Master Yan messed up something?" Yu Qingmeng asked directly.
"I don't know where Aunt Yu found this idiot. Not only did he not give the things away, but he kept them in his hands. He wasn't afraid that he would lose control of it and ruin things." Yan Yu snorted coldly.
"This matter was indeed the fault of Miss Qu Er. She didn't expect Qu Moying to be so cunning and fell for her trick. She hopes that Mr. Yan Er will forgive her for this mistake."
"It's hard to say whether I forgive you or not, but I hope Aunt Yu won't do it again." Yan Yu's face darkened, and he said unkindly, "This young master has a bad reputation, but it's just a reputation, and it can't be ruined by anyone who wants to!"
"Yes, I was careless about this matter. I would like to apologize to Second Young Master Yan!" Yu Qingmeng was very humble and bowed sideways.
My cousin said that the lower her posture is, the better.
Sure enough, Yan Yu's face looked better and he nodded, "In that case, I'll take my leave."
"Second Young Master Yan, please wait a moment." Yu Qingmeng saw that he was about to leave, and said hurriedly.
"Is there anything else?" Yan Yu stopped.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just... the prince is very sad because of this. It was Qu Moying who harmed the prince and me. If Second Young Master Yan can help, can you help again?" Yu Qingmeng said hesitantly.
"No." Yan Yu refused bluntly without even asking the reason.
"Why... why?" Yu Qingmeng was surprised by this. She looked up in amazement.
Because of their friendship, Xu Lipeng would definitely help Qu Moying vent his anger because of what happened to him.
Even if his reputation is slightly damaged now, Yan Yu is not a person who values reputation. Shouldn't he vent his anger for his friend again and again if it fails once
"No reason. Xu Lipeng himself feels guilty towards Fourth Miss Qu. It seems that Fourth Miss Qu did not do anything in this matter. She was forced to break off the engagement and was also a victim. Aunt Yu, please be kind and let Fourth Miss Qu go. After all, it is Aunt Yu who is following Xu Lipeng now."
Yan Yu smiled, and her face was still as bright as a peach blossom, but it made Yu Qingmeng feel like she was hit hard in the heart, causing her to feel painful and uncomfortable.
What does it mean that Xu Lipeng feels guilty about Qu Moying? It was clearly Qu Moying who caused her to not marry Xu Lipeng and could only be a concubine. Why did Xu Lipeng still feel guilty about her
A surge of anger rose in my heart and fire began to appear in my eyes.
Did this blind bitch do something that no one knew about, and she even made the prince feel guilty about her
"Of course, if Aunt Yu's plan is more complete and does not involve me, I can still consider helping Aunt Yu vent her anger."
After Yan Yu gently waved the folding fan in his hand twice, he looked at Yu Qingmeng, whose face turned blue and white, and suddenly relaxed.
"Is Second Young Master Yan really willing to help?" Yu Qingmeng asked anxiously, regardless of the jealousy burning in her heart.
"Of course, I am the prince's good friend!" Yan Yu nodded, "If you need anything in the future, just send someone to tell me, but don't make the same mistake again."
"Don't worry, Second Young Master. It won't happen again." Yu Qingmeng nodded repeatedly and promised that she would have a good discussion with her cousin this time and would never let Qu Moying get away again...
"Miss, I want you to come over." Yu Dong sent Yu Qingmeng away and hurried back to the main house to report that a secret guard had secretly informed him when he was outside the door just now.
"Now?" Qu Moying asked with a frown. The Dabei Temple has been really busy lately. People who should and shouldn't have come have all come, and they all look like they are going to cause trouble.
"Yes, now, go over as you are now, young lady." Yudong took a cloak hanging on the screen with a smile and passed it to Yuchun.
Yuchun put it on and tied it up for Qu Moying.
The three of them walked together.
Although it looked like they were just walking around casually, Yudong was actually leading the way half a step ahead, all the way to the back mountain of Dabei Temple.
The mountain behind Dabei Temple is very big. First, there is a large peach forest. On the right side is a mountain leaning against the peach forest. The mountains are stacked one on top of another, and they look very far away. From time to time, you can see a few peach trees in full bloom beside the dark mountain road. There are also peach blossoms on the mountain road, but there are no other tourists here.
The peach forest of Dabei Temple is open to all pilgrims, but the Mountain Love here is not open to everyone. A small mountain gate locks the winding mountain path. From the outside, you can see layers of mountain steps extending into the mountain.
It is said that only nobles can enter this mountain road.
Qu Moying had been there in her previous life. With her status as the future Crown Princess, she followed Pei Luoan in. Therefore, she knew something that others did not know, a royal secret.
There is a small nunnery on the top of this mountain...
