This maid is really extraordinary!
Yudong couldn't help but admire secretly. After listening to today's conversation, even he was a little confused for a moment, as if Qingmei was right.
"The fourth lady said to the third lady and the second young master..." Yu Dong spoke, lowering his head and speaking in a hoarse voice.
Qingmei was overjoyed, and the smile on her face became more and more affectionate. She pulled Yudong to sit on a big rock behind the tree, and said in a heart-to-heart talk: "Sister Yudong, the fourth lady and our third lady are really... What can I say? They are sisters. Even if there are some conflicts, it's just a matter of temperament. When our third lady enters Prince Jing's mansion in the future, the fourth lady may have to rely on our third lady. Why make such a fuss now?"
"Is it true that the third young lady is going to enter Prince Jing's mansion?" Yu Dong asked in surprise.
Although everyone is talking about this, no one has actually spoken about it.
"Of course it's true. King Jing promised our Third Miss." Qingmei raised her head and said proudly, reaching out to pull Yudong's sleeve again, "Sister Yudong, it's not that I look down on Fourth Miss, but think about how Fourth Miss looks like. Is it possible for her to marry someone better than Third Miss? If she can, it would be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's not good for anyone to be so awkward with Third Miss now!"
The two young ladies of the West Mansion do not have a good relationship. This is something that the entire Qu Mansion knows.
"But... but, the Third Miss has harmed our Miss before." Yu Dong said angrily. As Qu Moying's personal maid, she naturally stood on Qu Moying's side.
"How could it be that Miss Three harmed Miss Four in those things? Sister Yudong, I have been in the mansion for a short time, and I have heard about those things. Although they are just rumors, I don't think Miss Three harmed Miss Four. At most, it was Madam who did it. Now Madam is under house arrest, so even if the matter is over, it can't be that Madam's life is at stake!"
Qingmei said.
This was an extreme statement, and Yudong fell silent.
"Think about it. Miss Three listened to Madam's words before, so she had a bad relationship with Miss Four. Now that Madam is imprisoned, Miss Four might still rely on Miss Three in the future. If you two misses don't get along well now, Miss Four will definitely not respond when Miss Three asks her for help in the future."
Qingmei said again.
These words all sounded reasonable, but somewhat specious, as if everything that happened back then was really all caused by Yu. As a daughter, Qu Qiuyan of course listened to her biological mother, which was why she and Qu Moying became estranged. But in fact, fundamentally speaking, this was nothing.
After all, they are sisters.
"But the fourth lady doesn't like the third lady." Yu Dong said. Now that he had started talking, it would not be difficult to continue.
"Sister Yudong, we all hope that the two young ladies can reconcile. For both of them and for both of us, why don't we think of a way to make them reconcile!" Qingmei's eyes turned and she suddenly said.
"Is there any good idea?" Yudong's eyes lit up.
“Listen to me…” Qingmei leaned over and whispered in Yudong’s ear. Yudong shook his head at first, but then slowly hesitated. It was obvious that he was really shaken.
Seeing her act this way, Qingmei became more excited and secretly proud of herself. She didn't expect this to go so smoothly. This was a diversion. It seemed that the purpose was this, but it was actually another one. Of course, this was not the end yet. She glanced at Yudong.
At first glance, I laughed in my heart, how dare such a fool covet the Second Young Master? She doesn't even look at what kind of person she is.
Just because she is the Fourth Young Lady's personal maid, the Second Young Master will never let her have any good thing.
By then, Yudong will have to agree to this matter even if he disagrees...
"Miss, I just heard from a maid that Yudong was talking to Qingmei, the girl next to Miss Three, outside for a long time and hasn't come in yet."
Yuchun walked in holding a cup of tea. After placing the teacup on the table, she said uneasily that the people around the Third Miss were not trustworthy and that they should be avoided if possible.
Qu Moying was fiddling with the strings of his zither, and without even raising his hand he asked, "Who said that?"
"The old woman who guards the gate came over and said that she saw Qingmei and Yudong whispering behind a tree. They looked like they didn't want anyone to hear them, and their behavior was very intimate."
"Just let that old woman continue to keep an eye on it!" Qu Moying said indifferently.
"Miss..." Yuchun hesitated to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Qu Moying smiled and glanced at Yu Chun.
"Miss, I think the maid following the gatekeeper is quite suspicious." Yuchun thought for a while and said, compared to Yudong, her knowledge was far inferior, but everything else, including her aura and talent, was the same.
But she is no less loyal than Yudong, and therefore observes very carefully, fearing that someone might hurt the young lady. She followed Qu Moying from Wei Shi, and is also a real maid. Sometimes what she sees is a little different from Yudong.
But she was not sure if what she thought was right. Compared with the young lady and Yudong, Yuchun felt that she was far inferior, so she said this with some unconfidence.
"What do you mean?" Qu Moying became interested. He stood up from the piano, washed his hands, and wiped them with the towel.
"Just now I saw this maid greet Yu Dong, and then Yu Dong left. Now when the gatekeeper came over, I accidentally saw her with the gatekeeper. I felt strange. How could she, a little maid who does menial work, be so free? She is always there for anything related to Yu Dong."
Yuchun frowned in confusion, then asked Qu Moying: "Miss, what do you think?"
"I think you are right!" Qu Moying smiled, her eyes as clear as water. She sincerely felt that Yuchun had done a great job.
"Miss, do you think I'm right?" Yuchun's eyes lit up and she was very excited. In her opinion, getting praise from the young lady meant that she must be right.
"Of course you're right. It seems that the people in our yard are not that clean." Qu Moying smiled slightly and said thoughtfully.
When they first entered the mansion, most of the people in this courtyard were picked later. But that doesn't mean those who were picked later will definitely have nothing to do. Just look at the maid named Qingmei who kept getting close to Yudong.
"Yuchun, go call Yudong back and show me that I'm very angry." Qu Moying smiled slightly, her long eyelashes like butterfly wings fluttering twice, and said.
Since those people want to see her being estranged from her personal maid, then let them see. She wants to see what these people are up to!
Yuchun was not stupid, but a little unconfident. After being praised by Qu Moying, she reacted much faster and understood immediately. She clapped her hands and said, "Little
Sister, I will go and call Yudong back now!"
Qu Moying curled her cherry lips and nodded silently.
Yuchun straightened her face, turned around and went out. When she reached the door of the main house, everyone in the yard could see that this maid was unhappy.
She went straight to the gate. A little maid stood beside the old woman guarding the gate. When she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Miss Yuchun is still there. I wonder what Miss Yudong has to say to that girl called Qingmei."
Of course, the people in the courtyard knew that something was not right between their master and the third young lady, and their subordinates tried their best not to interact with them, so as not to anger both masters at the same time.
Yuchun nodded, and walked towards where Yudong and Qingmei were talking quietly with a stern face. When she reached the tree, she saw Qingmei noticed her and stood up immediately: "Sister Yuchun, why didn't you make a sound when you came? You just stood there in silence. I was so scared!"
As he spoke, he pulled Yudong's sleeve affectionately. It looked as if the two of them were saying something that could not be heard by others, and if someone heard them, they were secretly comparing statements.
Yu Dong saw this action as nothing but ridicule. Although this maid was quite good, she was still a little immature after all. This action looked perfect and it could easily create a rift between him and Yu Chun. It was a pity that there were too many actions and the amplitude was too large, so when experts saw it, they just thought it was a bit artificial.
Unfortunately, Yudong is an expert.
"I just got here, how can I just stand there without making any noise?" Yuchun said unhappily, then looked at Yudong, "Yudong, you've been out for so long, the lady has something to talk to you about."
After saying that, he ignored the two people and turned away angrily.
Seeing her act like this, Yudong hurriedly stood up and was about to leave.
"Sister Yudong, are you afraid of Sister Yuchun?" Qingmei grabbed her again and pointed at Yuchun's back.
"Yuchun has been serving the young lady all the time, so naturally she has a special relationship with her. I came later than her." Yudong said.
"So what? Everyone can see that Sister Yudong is the most capable one. A capable person should do more work. What's the use of just having feelings? Besides, Sister Yudong and the fourth young lady have a special relationship. Since she has a good future for herself, she is still wholeheartedly working for the fourth young lady. People like Sister Yudong are truly capable and loyal."
Qingmei curled her lips and said unconvincedly.
"Why are you saying these things? Yuchun is a nice person." Yudong frowned, obviously not wanting to hear Qingmei say such things about Yuchun.
Qingmei reached out and patted her face gently, smiling and apologizing: "It's my fault, I'm a nagging person. Sister Yudong is such a good person, how could she think like that? Sister Yudong, I'll go back first. You should keep this in mind. We can't let the two young ladies be estranged. This is not good for us. Even if we want to sit together and talk, we have to avoid people!"
Then he pointed at Yudong's cuffs, and Yudong subconsciously reached out and pressed something in his cuffs.
Every word of these words pierced Yudong's heart. Seeing Yudong nodded solemnly, Qingmei felt that it was enough. She waved to Yudong and turned to leave.
After leaving Qianyueju, Qingmei did not return to Qu Qiuyan's Furong Pavilion, but went to the outer courtyard. After turning a few corners, she saw the place in front of her and was about to go over when suddenly a hand stretched out from the rockery and pulled her in...
