Qu Moying got up early in the morning, half an hour earlier than usual, and it was still dark outside.
Yuchun swiftly helped Qu Moying to wash and dress. When they arrived at the outer room, Yudong had already brought breakfast. After Qu Moying ate a little, he pushed away the bowl in front of him.
The two maids tied a veil on her eyes, put on a cloak for her, and took the things they had prepared in advance. Then they followed her to the lady's yard.
In the lady's yard, Luo had been sitting there for a long time, but the lady was not there.
Qu Moying came in and bowed to Luo.
"Your grandmother is not feeling well, so you can't go today. I can take you there. Your father and uncle are already waiting outside." Luo stood up.
"Grandma, are you feeling unwell?" Qu Moying asked.
"I didn't feel well when I woke up this morning. Actually... your grandmother shouldn't have gone. Your father and uncle have already said this." Luo said.
Qu Moying pursed her lips and said nothing.
This was not something she could handle.
"Let's go!" Luo said, and walked out. Qu Moying followed her out.
Nanny Wu suddenly came out and called Qu Moying: "Fourth Miss, please wait a moment."
Luo paused slightly at the front, looked back, and then continued to walk out with his men.
"My nanny." Qu Moying waited for my nanny to come over.
"Fourth Miss, the Madam was originally going to go, but the Second Master said that she was not feeling well. It is winter now, the best time to get sick, and the Madam has not been feeling well recently. The Second Master also said that the Second Madam is a junior, and that the Madam is willing to go. She doesn't need to go. If she gets sick, no one can take the responsibility, and it will be the Second Madam and Fourth Miss's responsibility."
My nanny sighed and said, the lady really wanted to go, but what the second master said was also right.
"Grandma is not feeling well, so she should be taken care of at home. I am at mother's place, and at the very least, there is my aunt in front to cover for her. It will be fine."
Qu Moying said softly.
"That's the best!" Seeing that Qu Moying had no grudges, Wu Ma Ma heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Originally, the Madam wanted to get up earlier this morning. Although I can't go together, I can at least see the Madam and the Fourth Miss off. I just didn't expect that I couldn't get up all of a sudden."
"Have you seen a doctor?" Qu Moying asked with concern.
"I've already invited her. She may be here soon. Miss, please be careful when you go out. The lady dowager is most worried about you." My nanny reminded.
"Tell grandma that I'm fine. Let her not worry. I will always stay with my aunt!" Qu Moying comforted my grandma.
Seeing Qu Moying so sensible, my nanny was very pleased. She gave the lady a few more instructions before letting Qu Moying leave.
When Qu Moying arrived at the door, Luo had already boarded the carriage, and Qu Moying also boarded a carriage behind. Qu Zhizhen, Qu Minghui, and Qu Mingcheng came out last. Seeing that the female family members had all boarded the carriage, the three of them jumped on the horses together, followed the carriage, and went to Qingyun Temple together.
"Miss, the eldest lady is here." Yu Dong said. He had the most sensitive eyes and had already seen Hongmei's figure flash by among the servants. Although Hongmei quickly got on the carriage in front, he still noticed her.
No one is singing
Mo Ying mentioned that Qu Xuexin would be there today.
The old lady probably didn't know that Qu Zhizhen didn't take it seriously, and Luo didn't take it to heart either. She thought it was natural for Qu Xuexin to go with them. Today, all the younger generations in the Qu family went out without leaving a single one behind.
Even if the lady scolded him afterwards, it would not be a big deal in the Luo family.
Luo had always been resentful about her daughter being locked up by the Madam for cultivation. Now, she could let her daughter show her face, even if it was just to show her face, which would be good for her.
"I just saw that the eldest brother and the second brother both had white cloth belts tied around their waists." Qu Moying said thoughtfully, "Do we have any white cloth belts here?"
Since both of them wore it, her biological daughter should wear it even more. But until now, she still hasn't got such a white ribbon.
"Miss, we don't have it, but here is a belt left over from making clothes. I originally used it to tie things up. Would you like to take it off first and give it to you later?" Yu Chun responded quickly.
"Yes, prepare it first." Qu Moying said, his eyes dark. No matter what the reason was that made them forget to tell him, it was always a good idea to prepare it himself.
The carriage went all the way to Qingyun Temple. They got up early so there was no traffic at the city gate. After leaving the city, they went all the way. It was still early, so Qu Moying took a nap in the carriage.
When they arrived at the place and stopped the carriage, she woke up and got off the carriage with the help of Yu Dong's hand. When she looked up, she saw Qu Xuexin getting off the carriage in front. Her face was pale and her steps were unsteady. It was obvious that she was not in good health.
He was actually sick at a time like this? What a coincidence!
Seeing Qu Moying, Qu Xuexin came over holding Hongmei's hand, as if she wanted to talk to Qu Moying. Qu Moying turned around, holding Yudong's hand and followed Qu Zhizhen inside.
The two just glanced at each other and Qu Xuexin stopped.
"Xin'er, are you okay?" Luo looked at her daughter worriedly. Qu Xuexin's complexion was so bad that Luo was afraid she would faint at the next moment.
"Don't worry, mother. I'm fine. I just stayed up late last night and folded some paper money." Qu Xuexin coughed twice and said weakly.
"You kid... I told you to have a good rest, but you were so disobedient." Luo was so distressed that tears were about to fall, "How come you care more about this matter than Ying girl?"
"Mother, I'm also doing my best... It's okay, I can hold on." Qu Xuexin said with a smile, "Mother, let's go in too. You see, father and second uncle have already gone in."
“You are such a sincere kid. Look, she didn’t even call you when she went in, and you… you are still so sincere to her…” Luo felt that her daughter was more and more wronged. She actually saw her daughter and Qu Moying looking at each other just now, and she was deeply dissatisfied with Qu Moying.
The reason why my daughter is in this state now is because she folded paper money for Qu Moying's biological mother. She is still forcing herself to come out now. Didn't you see everything she did
No matter how Luo felt in her heart, she couldn't show it on her face. She could only walk at the end with her daughter. She would stop from time to time to wait for Qu Xuexin. Watching her move with difficulty, her little face was as white as snow and looked sick, she felt so distressed.
The main hall for the ceremony was ready. It was located at the gate, facing the main gate of Qingyun Temple. This was also the reason why Qu Zhizhen had repeatedly mentioned this.
required.
Since the ritual has been held, of course more people should be informed to eliminate the damage caused by the Yu family's affair and the reputation of the Qu family.
Qu Moying understood this kind of showmanship very well. Just like Pei Luoan, for the sake of a good reputation, he pretended to be deeply affectionate and unhappy, showing this kind of affection everywhere to cover up his inner guilt.
Qu Zhizhen would not miss such a place to show his deep affection for Xiaoyue, and Pei Luoan would do the same...
"Ying girl, have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?" When they arrived at the entrance of the hall, Luo asked Qu Moying who was waiting there.
This time, Qu Xuexin did not force herself to go forward and talk to Qu Moying. She just supported the maid and stood aside.
Luo asked the maid to help her in first.
"Aunt, I've already prepared it." Qu Moying said. Yuchun brought a basket over and lifted the white coarse cloth on it. She could see small brocade clothes and other things made by Qu Moying. They were all to be burned for Xiao Yue. The mansion also had some prepared, but what Qu Moying made had a special meaning.
Of course, what a biological daughter does is different.
"It's a little less!" Luo said disapprovingly, "Why are you so careless!"
This was a biased statement. Yu Dong pursed her lips and held back from saying anything. This matter had just been mentioned yesterday. The young lady and herself did not understand much about it, so it took a long time to stop last night. But this was all we could do, as the young lady's sewing skills were not very good to begin with.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, aunt." Qu Moying said indifferently.
"It's not a big deal. Fortunately, Xin'er has made some. You can burn Xin'er's first. It will look more." Luo said.
The old woman standing behind her came over and took out a basket, which was much larger than Qu Moying's basket.
When I opened it, it was filled with small satin dresses, all of good material.
There was also a simple handkerchief placed next to it, which was the same size as the ones we usually use. I don’t know if it was placed there accidentally.
"Thank you, aunt!" Qu Moying glanced at her calmly, a hint of coldness in his eyes. He moved his feet and stepped back slightly.
The handkerchief looked very clean, as if it was made of white cotton, very soft and absorbent, but there were some very faint and subtle yellowing marks on the lines at the corners. If Qu Moying hadn't paid close attention and taken a closer look, he would not have been able to notice it for a while.
The old woman put the coarse cloth that was originally placed on top again.
Another maid came over and handed a white belt to Qu Moying: "Fourth Miss, this is a belt for your waist, please put it on!"
The rough white belt looked a bit messy because it was made roughly and had lines falling down. There was even a slight color difference at the end. If there was any difference, it would be that there seemed to be a slight yellow tint there, but it was not obvious.
It was originally a rough belt, who would notice these things
Yu Dong noticed it. His eyesight was better than others, and now his expression became more alert.
"Thank you, auntie. I have prepared the belt." Qu Moying said calmly.
"Since you have it, put it away!" Luo Shi didn't care at all. After saying that, she walked inside and instructed Qu Moying, "You will be responsible for burning clothes and paper money for your mother later."
