Qu Qiuyan left the study crying.
When she arrived at Furong Pavilion, she lay on the table and burst into tears again. What did her father mean by this? Did he look down on her or on King Jing? Why did he think she was just a concubine
Can concubines and concubines be considered as concubines? The most despised in the royal family are concubines and concubines. Many wives and queens climbed up from the position of concubines. Even if concubines are a little lower, they are only below concubines. Why does my father look down on her and say that she covets Qu Moying's things
Is that Qu Moying's? It was clearly the new money earned by her mother from her previous shop. Why did Qu Moying occupy it and not return it
Those were my mother's things, the dowry she left for me. If my mother hadn't helped Qu Moying to look after these shops, none of these shops would have been able to continue operating. They all belonged to my mother. Now I just wanted a small bakery shop. What right did my father have to scold me
In addition to this, my father also accused me of having ulterior motives, saying that I had done bad things together with my uncle, and scolded me for being corrupted by my mother and having no manners!
Why do you say that about yourself and your mother? Could it be that Qu Moying's mother is a good person
She is married and still has an affair with Minister Liu. It is obvious at first glance that this little bitch Qu Moying is not her father's biological daughter. Why does her father protect Qu Moying so much but is so harsh on herself
Qu Qiu had never been scolded like this before. She was overwhelmed with grief and couldn't stop crying.
Qingju was in a panic, and finally had no choice but to send someone to find the Second Young Master. Now only the Second Young Master could persuade his young lady.
When Qu Mingcheng came over, Qu Qiuyan was still crying. When she saw Qu Mingcheng, she cried even harder.
Qu Mingcheng waved his hand and asked the others to leave. Then he asked, "Sister, isn't it just a shop? Even if you don't have one, I can open one for you. Why are you crying like this?"
Qingju said that Qu Qiuyan wanted the shop owned by Qu Moying, but Qu Moying didn't give it to her. Qu Qiuyan went to Qu Zhizhen to seek justice, but was scolded by Qu Zhizhen, so she felt so aggrieved.
There are some things Qingju dare not say!
“Brother, brother, that shop was left to me by mother… It was originally mine… Why don’t you give it to me!” Qu Qiuyan said while crying.
"How did it become yours? It was originally left by fourth sister's biological mother. I heard that it starts with the word Yue." Qu Mingcheng felt that Qu Qiuyan was really unreasonable in this matter. No wonder his father got angry and scolded her.
"No, it's true... It's really what my mother left for me... My mother told me before... She said it was for me, so what's wrong with me asking for it back now? Even if it originally belonged to Qu Moying, if my mother wasn't around, how much of her mother's dowry would be left."
Qu Qiuyan said unconvincedly, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and raised her head: "Brother, that was specially left for me by mother."
"When did it happen?" Qu Mingcheng finally understood some of the meaning.
"My mother had an accident before. The last time she was confined to her house, she specifically told me about it at that time. Later when I went to see her, she mentioned it again and again." Qu Qiuyan said.
"What's the difference between that shop?" Qu Mingcheng frowned.
"Mother said that there were some things left for us in the shop, all in the hands of the shopkeeper, which seemed to be some banknotes that mother had hidden.
"Qu Qiuyan said.
"Mother put all her savings in the hands of that shopkeeper?" Qu Mingcheng sat up straight in shock. This was something he had never thought of.
"Yes, mother wanted to separate the banknotes in her hands. You see, this time when Qu Moying came back, all the money mother had was lost. Fortunately, mother was more careful at the time." Qu Qiuyan nodded. When she knew about this before, she had no chance to ask for it from Qu Moying. Now is the best time.
When Yue's dowry was counted, a lot of money was missing. All the silver that my mother had was taken away and compensated to Qu Moying. After that, my mother had no money left.
"Why did mother do this?" Qu Mingcheng's face looked a little ugly. He felt that this matter was inappropriate and strange. Why didn't his mother tell him about it, but told his sister alone.
Looking at my sister's behavior, it is not as appropriate or convenient as my own behavior.
It is inconvenient for my sister to summon the shop owner, but he can make an excuse to go there. Why does my mother make a simple matter so complicated
"I don't know either. Maybe she thought it would be more convenient to ask that bitch from me. You are a man, and your mother doesn't want to drag you into this kind of backyard affairs. You just need to study hard!" Qu Qiuyan said hatefully, "It's all because of this bitch. If it wasn't for what happened to her today, your father wouldn't be so angry."
"What exactly happened?" Qu Mingcheng also heard some other meanings and knew that there were things he didn't know.
Qu Qiuyan did not hide anything from him and told him what happened yesterday, as well as her visit to see Yu and how Yu later sent Aunt Hailan to pass on a message to her uncle's family.
When she finished speaking, her eyes were red. "It's obviously the biological mother of that blind girl Qu Moying who was guilty of being a lowly woman. Why is my father blaming me now? Even if such rumors were spread by my uncle's family, it's because this matter is true. That blind girl may not even be our biological sister. Why does she occupy the status of the legitimate daughter, while our status is not legitimate."
"The note was given to you by County Lord Jingyu?" Qu Mingcheng's face changed slightly.
"Yes, they asked us to investigate this matter." Qu Qiuyan nodded.
"Sister, you are confused!" Qu Mingcheng stamped his feet.
"What's wrong? Shouldn't father know? On what basis can a bastard occupy the position of the legitimate daughter of the Qu family? Why don't we drive her away? Mother has endured so much criticism because of her." Qu Qiuyan retorted unconvinced.
"Do you know this is true?" Qu Mingcheng asked angrily.
"This note is so old, how can it not be real!" Qu Qiuyan became more and more unconvinced.
"Why doesn't Liu Jingyu go and check? She has the note. With her identity, wouldn't it be easier for her to investigate than for you? Since she was able to get the note, she should know more." Qu Mingcheng asked back.
"Maybe... it's not convenient for her. After all, this is her father's business. A son should not blame his father!" Qu Qiuyan was stunned by the question and said vaguely after a pause.
"You are the same, aren't you? Can you say that it's your father's fault? No wonder your father scolded you harshly for no reason. I think you deserve it." Qu Mingcheng reached out and patted Qu Qiuyan on the head, "How come you suffered a loss and still don't learn your lesson? County Lord Jingyu is the one who is easily...
Is it because of her that you suffered a great loss this time? "
"But this matter is about Qu Moying's biological mother. That woman was unfaithful to her husband. What does it have to do with my father?" Qu Qiuyan argued unconvinced.
"Why don't you understand? Yue has been dead for so many years. Even if you dig up the past, what's the use? It's father's face that's lost. How can father meet his colleagues in the future? How can father work with Minister Liu? If there is a big fuss and the matter is turned upside down, father and Minister Liu will break up. In comparison, if father breaks up with Minister Liu, father will suffer."
Qu Mingcheng analyzed it carefully for her.
After hearing what Qu Mo Mingcheng said, Qu Qiuyan gritted her teeth and said, "Are we just going to let Qu Mo Ying go? She is clearly a bastard!"
"Even if there is something wrong with Qu Moying's background, you can just tell your father in private. Why bother dragging your mother into this? Liu Jingyu is not a good person. She will marry the prince in the future. You are going to enter the Jingwang Mansion. You are born to be relative. How can she be kind enough to help you? If it weren't for her, even if you can't be the main wife, you can't escape being a concubine."
Qu Mingcheng said angrily.
Because Qu Qiuyan married poorly, he also lost face.
Originally, he could have taken advantage of Prince Jing's influence, but now he is too embarrassed to say that his sister entered Prince Jing's mansion as a concubine. If he is like this, his father must feel even more ashamed!
"But at that time, I was so angry that I wanted to ask my mother. I didn't expect that my mother would later ask me to pass a message to my uncle." Qu Qiuyan pushed the blame onto Yu.
"Even if it's my mother..." Qu Mingcheng paused after saying this, then looked at Qu Qiuyan, "Okay, let's stop here. You should be more careful in the future. This Jingyu County Lady is on a different side from you, and is destined not to really be doing good for you. Next time you deal with her, don't trust her so much."
"Brother, I get it, but now, father still scolded me... I... father has never scolded me like this before!" Qu Qiuyan wiped away her tears again in grievance.
Thinking of Qu Zhizhen's ferocious eyes just now, that look was almost murderous, Qu Qiuyan shuddered when she thought of it!
"Don't go to father's place for the time being. Wait until he calms down and puts this matter aside." Qu Mingcheng thought for a while and said.
"But if the shop has always been in Qu Moying's hands, what if she replaced the people, or what if she found out?" Qu Qiuyan said anxiously. She didn't have much money in her hands now, and she was really anxious when she thought about having to prepare more money when she went to Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Don't worry, I'll go and take a look. I'll go find the shopkeeper and ask him what's going on." Qu Mingcheng comforted her.
"Then I can only trouble my brother, but what about my uncle? Father will definitely vent his anger on my uncle." Qu Qiuyan said worriedly again.
"There's nothing we can do about this... Even if I say it, it will only add fuel to father's anger. You should ask Prince Jing to come to our house more often during this period. It would be even better if Prince Jing could mention your position before he enters the house. Father will have face and will naturally not blame you." Qu Mingcheng gave Qu Qiuyan a pertinent suggestion.
"Second brother, I will listen to you, but can we just let it go because that bitch Qu Moying is not my biological daughter?" Qu Qiuyan said in a shrill voice.
