Yudong met the second young master Qu Mingcheng on the way back!
"Greetings, Second Young Master!" Yu Dong began to sweat as he walked. When he saw Qu Mingcheng coming over with a servant, he hurriedly saluted.
Qu Mingcheng's injury had almost healed. Seeing Yudong saluting, he stopped and looked at him sweating profusely. He asked in a very friendly manner: "Yudong, right? Where are you coming from at this time? Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
"My name is Yudong. Just now, the Fourth Miss asked me to return a book to the Ling Anbo Mansion!" Yudong said respectfully.
He kept his head down, looking at the ground, very well-behaved.
"That Buddhist scripture?" Qu Mingcheng asked, obviously already knowing about the dispute between his sister and Qu Moying.
"Yes, Madam Duan from the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion said that it was borrowed by mistake. This is a mistake, so the young lady asked me to return it immediately." Yu Dong said.
"This matter is not urgent. It's so hot, why bother asking you to make such a trip." Qu Mingcheng became more gentle and smiled slightly.
He looks like Qu Zhizhen, and he is quite good-looking, otherwise the Yue family of Jiangnan would not have been confused by Qu Zhizhen's appearance and thought that he was a handsome man with both talent and beauty.
It was difficult for Yudong, a maid, to respond to this, so she simply lowered her head and kept silent.
"I was originally going to visit the fourth sister, but I happened to meet you, so I'll ask you what happened to the third and fourth sisters. I heard that it was the Buddhist scripture that the Crown Princess used before."
Qu Mingcheng continued to ask gently.
It seems that Qu Qiuyan has already filed a complaint, but this Second Young Master Qu is a fair man and wants to hear what Qu Moying has to say.
Yu Dong was in charge of this matter, so she naturally knew about it. When Qu Mingcheng asked her this, she told him everything in detail.
It was said that the third young lady accidentally broke a Buddhist scripture, and that the fourth young lady was frightened and didn't know what to do with it. Later, Mrs. Duan from the Ling'an Earl's Mansion sent another Buddhist scripture, saying that the previous one was taken by mistake. That Buddhist scripture was not the Crown Princess's Buddhist scripture, but the Buddhist scripture used by Mrs. Duan herself.
He also said that it was fortunate that this Buddhist scripture was used by Mrs. Duan herself, otherwise it would be a crime of great disrespect.
Although the matter was not short, Yudong was able to summarize it quite quickly. He was very eloquent and not at all stifling.
"So it's a good thing that this Buddhist scripture is for Mrs. Duan's personal use, otherwise something bad would have happened?" Qu Mingcheng understood and asked Yu Dong thoughtfully.
The voice was as gentle as always.
"Yes." Yudong nodded.
"Has fourth sister found her own Buddhist scriptures?" Qu Mingcheng asked again.
"I don't know, maybe they haven't found it yet!" Yu Dong said after a moment of hesitation. He had been running around outside just now, so it would seem a bit fake if he said he knew.
"Did the fourth sister send anyone to look for him?"
"Yes, the young lady asked Madam Zhou to help look for it. But I don't know whether it has been found now." Yu Dong shook her head and said very honestly.
Seeing him like this, Qu Mingcheng couldn't help but burst into laughter, with a look of admiration in his eyes, "What an honest girl."
Yu Dong lowered his head in embarrassment after hearing this, and it seemed as if he was blushing.
The servant behind Qu Mingcheng saw the opportunity and handed over a purse: "This is a reward from the Second Young Master!"
"Thank you, Second Young Master!" Yu Dong hurriedly said.
present.
Qu Mingcheng shook his hand, looked at her again, and left with the servant.
Yu Dong raised his hand and frowned, feeling very disgusted in his heart. He was not a woman, but he felt that this second young master was really disgusting. It was really disgusting that he spoke so gently to a maid.
He is the young lady's maid, not someone close to Qu Mingcheng.
He curled the corners of his lips, smiled sarcastically, turned around and left. When he returned to Qianyueju, he first reported the matter to Qu Moying, told him what Madam Duan said, and then talked about this matter again.
"See what's in your purse?" Qu Moying looked strange.
Yu Dong nodded, took out the purse, opened it, and immediately showed a trace of annoyance on her face: "Miss, it's a pair of earrings!"
A master giving a pair of earrings to his sister's personal maid really speaks volumes. Qu Moying sneered in his heart. Sure enough, Qu Mingcheng had already started to plot against the people around him.
Fortunately, he was targeting Yu Dong, otherwise it would be easy for him to capture people with his method. But isn't it too despicable to use this method on a maid
In addition to a pair of earrings, there was also a silver note.
"Miss, the second young master really thinks highly of me. He gave me one hundred taels of silver at once. It is enough to buy a few servants." Yu Dong stretched out his hand and shook the silver bill in the air, laughing.
The maids sent to the mansion by the boy were actually not expensive. The one hundred taels could buy several maids. From this point of view, Qu Mingcheng could be considered generous.
"What would happen if you were just an ordinary maid?" Qu Moying asked with a smile.
Yu Dong thought about it, the banknote in her hand trembled again, and sneered: "I think if he is a man with 'ambition', I will just accept it. After all, Qingmei has sent some things to me from time to time before. Those words implicitly show the Second Young Master's thoughts. I just didn't expect that the Second Young Master would personally come to the scene."
Qu Moying nodded with a smile, "Maybe the Second Young Master is anxious!"
If there was no urgency, Qu Mingcheng would not have gone on stage in person.
"If I were a timid servant, I would also find a way to return these to the Second Young Master. But if I keep these things with me but don't tell the Young Lady, it would be easy for something to go wrong." Yu Dong made a second hypothesis.
"If you take all these things and don't go to find the Second Young Master, what will he think?" Qu Moying pondered for a moment and asked again.
“If I took these things but didn’t do anything, I think the Second Young Master must think that I have some ideas. Maybe even if I don’t have any ideas, he wants to force me to have some ideas!” Yu Dong said, rolling his eyes.
"Then let's put it there for now!" Qu Moying's long eyelashes fluttered twice, and her eyes were full of bright charm, as if they were shining brightly, "Just wait for them to find you!"
"Don't worry, Miss. I won't have to worry about it!" Yu Dong understood.
The master and servant smiled at each other, saying nothing.
Sure enough, in the evening, when Yu Dong came out of Qu Moying's main room, she saw a little maid waving at her at the corner. Yu Dong looked around and saw no one else, so she walked over.
"Sister Yudong, Sister Qingmei who is beside the Third Miss is here. She said she has something important to discuss with you." The little maid pointed outside the courtyard gate and said.
Yudong nodded, looked at the little maid thoughtfully, and walked out.
hospital
Behind a big tree outside the door, Qingmei was waiting there with a smile. When she saw Yudong coming out of the yard, she hurriedly came out from behind the tree and pointed at her stealthily.
Yudong frowned and walked over.
"Sister Yudong." Qingmei smiled warmly as always, bowed to Yudong, and then winked at Yudong mischievously, "Sister Yudong is very happy!"
"What good news is this?" Yu Dong asked in surprise.
"Sister Yudong is still hiding this from me?" Qingmei stood up straight with a smile on her face, and carefully observed Yudong. Seeing that she lowered her head, she must have been embarrassed, so she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the second young master met Sister Yudong on the road and gave her a reward. This is not a good fortune. I heard that the second young master is always generous, but it is not so easy to get it."
There is something else behind these words, and it really makes people blush.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yudong reached out and hit Qingmei. Qingmei smiled and dodged to the side, avoiding her hand.
"Sister Yudong, when you become rich in the future, don't forget me!"
"Don't talk nonsense. If the young lady hears it, it will be really bad!" Yu Dong's face darkened and he said uneasily, twisting the handkerchief in his hands with both hands, and it can be seen that he is very hesitant.
"What will happen? This is a good thing. Miss Four won't wish you a good future. I think Miss Four is very good to you. Now that you have a way out, Miss Four will definitely agree. Even if you tell Miss Four about this matter directly, Miss Four will not say anything. She may even send you directly to the Second Young Master."
Qingmei said with a smile.
This statement seemed to make sense, but the provocation in it was obvious. Yu Dong could hear it clearly. This was clearly an attempt to deceive her young lady. How could a young lady treat the maidservant next to her as her brother? How could anyone view this young lady? This kind of behavior would definitely make people despise and spit on her!
"This... isn't very good!" Yu Dong shook his head, his expression showing worry instead of joy.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with this?" Qingmei said, reaching out to hold Yudong's hand and shaking it, and said affectionately, "Sister Yudong, tell me, I will help you think about it. One person's shortcomings are better than two people's!"
"I'm fine... nothing!" Yu Dong shook his head again, his movements much slower, looking as if hesitant and indecisive.
"Sister Yudong, I have been in the mansion for such a long time. Ever since I first saw Sister Yudong, I felt that we got along well. Although one of us serves the Third Miss and the other serves the Fourth Miss, our sisterly friendship will never change no matter where we are. You have a good home, and I, as your younger sister, am happy for you."
Qingmei said seriously, her hand sliding down Yudong's arm, "It's been so long, and you still don't treat me as a sister. I feel so uncomfortable."
As he said this, he seemed to turn around and leave!
Yu Dong grabbed her backhand and said anxiously: "I didn't mean that!"
"Since you don't mean that, then why are you still hesitating? Is there anything you can't say? Although there is some grudge between the Third Miss and the Fourth Miss, they are sisters after all. We two maids hope that our masters will be well and live in harmony. In this case, is there anything you can't say?"
Qingmei is a good talker, and her words sounded flawless and full of affection. If Yudong didn't tell the truth, he would seem too pretentious!
