When Qu Zhizhen arrived outside the gate of Prince Yun's Mansion, he still felt cold all over. The pressure from Pei Yuanjun was so great that he stood outside the Prince Yun's Mansion for a long time before he recovered.
He got on his own carriage and frowned tightly.
When something like this happened in the palace, the best way to avoid disaster was to send both daughters away.
Fortunately, both daughters have settled down, one in the Prince Jing's Palace and the other in the Prince Yun's Palace. Anyway, neither of them is the principal wife, and entering the palace earlier may bring greater benefits.
Things went smoothly at Prince Jing's Mansion. With just a word, the third daughter entered the Mansion. As for Prince Yun's Mansion, he was driven out before he could even explain his purpose.
In fact, before coming here, Qu Zhizhen had already thought of this possibility, and he did not let his younger daughter pack up her things at home. Besides, compared to his older daughter, his younger daughter was truly innocent, so it didn't matter even if she didn't enter the Prince of Yun's Mansion. He came here to test her.
This attitude was similar to what he imagined.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips. It turned out that the Prince of Yun didn't care about his daughter. But no matter how much he didn't care, since it was the Prince of Yun's thing, he had to protect it. Otherwise, didn't he hear this vicious prince say that he wanted the entire Qu family to be buried with her
He already knew what to do now.
When the carriage returned to the mansion, lanterns were lit in the Qu Mansion. When Qu Zhizhen walked to the hanging flower gate in the inner courtyard, he turned in another direction and went to Qu Moying's Qianyue Residence.
It was just night time and no one in Qianyueju had gone to bed yet. The old woman guarding the gate saw that it was her own master coming from afar and hurried in to report.
Qu Moying came to the door of the main house to greet him.
"Father!"
Qu Zhizhen nodded and walked into the house. Qu Moying followed him in. After the two of them sat down, the maid served them tea and stepped aside.
"Tell me again what happened in the palace today." Qu Zhizhen said with a heavy face after sitting down.
Qu Moying nodded and recounted today's events in detail. He did not make any subjective judgments but just talked about the facts. Even when it came to the matter of Concubine Li, he just said what he thought and did not explain his own opinion.
After hearing this, Qu Zhizhen still frowned, and after a long while he comforted her, saying, "This matter, from your father's point of view, has little to do with you. It is obvious that Concubine Li wants to harm you. I don't know who this Concubine Li belongs to, and why she wants to harm you. But after all, she is a beauty in the palace, so it is hard to say for now. If someone asks about it again, you should be careful."
"Yes, father!" Qu Moying lowered his head and said.
"Your third sister... has gone to Prince Jing's mansion..." Qu Zhizhen coughed and said, "From now on... the chances of meeting you will be slim."
"My grandmother has just sent someone to tell me!" Qu Moying said lightly.
"That's for the best. I was originally here to tell you about this... Now that she's in Prince Jing's mansion, whether she lives a good life or a bad life is her own business... This matter is her own fault, but I still hope you won't talk too much about your third sister."
Qu Zhizhen warned.
"Father, I understand. I didn't say it in the palace before, so I certainly won't say it now!" Qu Moying said.
"That's the best! You are my daughter. I ignored you before because of Yu's matter. If there is a chance in the future, father will make it up to you. This time... is also the case! Send your third sister away and leave you in the mansion. Such things will never happen again!"
Qu Zhizhen is gentle
Said, with some pity.
It seemed as if she truly felt guilty towards Qu Moying, so after her eldest daughter showed evil intentions towards her younger daughter, she immediately sent her eldest daughter away.
A comparison between the two will immediately reveal the superiority.
"Thank you, father!" Qu Moying thanked softly.
"Then you should go to bed early. It's okay. Your father is here and will definitely not let anything happen to you." Qu Zhizhen stood up and gently comforted his daughter.
Qu Moying thanked him again, then sent Qu Zhizhen to the gate of the courtyard. Looking at Qu Zhizhen striding away, the corners of his lips curled silently. Qu Zhizhen's words just now sounded as if he was defending himself.
She sent away her troublesome elder daughter just to protect her younger daughter!
Is this something Qu Zhizhen would do? With the character of this cheap father, he must have planned to send away all the troublemakers, so why would he leave her alone
But it seems like it just hit a snag!
How could Qu Zhizhen be someone who could influence Pei Yuanjun? A hint of darkness flashed across his watery eyes. This cheap father really didn't want to take any responsibility, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get more practical benefits. As for what would happen to his two daughters, it was not even in his consideration, right
Is Qu Zhizhen just a person who values his son
Qu Moying looked at Qu Zhizhen's back thoughtfully and turned around. Qu Zhizhen was not an ordinary person and she couldn't see through him yet.
Sitting back in the room, Yu Dong continued to talk about what had just happened: "The gold and silver jewelry from the Third Miss have been packed up, and the small items that can be taken away have also been taken away, leaving only some large items that cannot be moved. But when she left, she specifically ordered people not to move them, saying that she would send someone to move them to Prince Jing's Mansion."
Qu Moying curled the corners of her lips slightly: "Don't worry about what she said, she won't come to move again, go and check with Madam Zhou tomorrow, and find out which ones are my mother's things, and move them back!"
Even if Qu Qiuyan gains power in Prince Jing's Mansion in the future and really comes to move, that is a matter for the future.
"Yes, I know." Yu Dong nodded, looked outside again, and lowered her voice unconsciously, "Miss, what do you think the second master came here for today?"
"You want to send me to the Prince of Yun's Mansion." Qu Moying was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, raising her watery eyes to the falling curtain, "Sending one is sending, sending two is also sending."
“Are you going to… send the young lady to the palace at this time as well?” Yu Dong was shocked and his face changed drastically.
"That's the plan, of course!" Qu Moying sneered coldly.
“How… how can it be like this? The young lady’s status is not yet determined, and if she enters the Prince’s Mansion at this time, this… this may mean that she will lose even her status, like… like the Second Young Miss…” Yu Dong stuttered twice.
Qu Moying's situation is somewhat different from Qu Qiuyan's. Qu Qiuyan at least has been settled, but Qu Moying doesn't even have a formal status now, and only a few people know about it. Being sent to the door at this moment is exactly the same as Qu Caiyue.
"It seems that's what he thinks."
Qu Moying said nonchalantly that she had never had any thoughts about Qu Zhizhen, so naturally she would not feel disappointed. Regarding Qu Zhizhen, she was not looking at things from the perspective of a daughter, and therefore she could see Qu Zhizhen's thoughts more clearly.
But Qu Moying couldn't guess what was going on.
As a father, you don’t want your daughter to get it, right
Not only her, but also Qu Qiu
Swallow!
For anyone to enter the man's residence at this time without any ceremony, it would be an extremely shameful thing, and it might even affect one's future status!
Qu Zhizhen's behavior confused Qu Moying...
Qu Moying was not the only one confused by Qu Zhizhen's behavior, but also Qu Mingcheng. After hearing that Qu Qiuyan was sent to Prince Jing's Mansion, Qu Mingcheng hurried over from the East Mansion, but did not see Qu Zhizhen. Hearing that he had gone out, he waited in the study, and now he finally waited for Qu Zhizhen to come back.
"Father, why did you send my sister to Prince Jing's Mansion?" As soon as he saw Qu Zhizhen, Qu Mingcheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Why can't you send it?" Qu Zhizhen said coldly, with a bit of displeasure on his face. He sat down behind the desk in the middle with a gloomy face.
"Father, if you send my sister to Prince Jing's Mansion at this time, how will His Royal Highness Prince Jing view my sister? How will the world view my sister?" Qu Mingcheng said anxiously and stomped his feet hard. Even though he was a man, he knew that this matter would be extremely disadvantageous to his sister.
"What are you afraid of? Your sister is still a concubine." Qu Zhizhen was in a bad mood and rebuked in a cold voice, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Just study hard and don't get alarmed by the smallest things. Your sister's problems will be solved by herself. From now on, she will be a concubine of Prince Jing's mansion. It will be good for her to enter the mansion early!"
"Father, what good can it do? She was originally just a concubine, and her position was low. If the principal wife brings this up in the future, she might not even be able to keep her position as concubine. Father, why did you rush to send her to Prince Jing's mansion at this time, leaving such a big trouble behind?"
Qu Mingcheng said anxiously.
"There is no future trouble, but now it can't be saved. Your sister was involved in the incident of Concubine Li, and Concubine Li's face has been disfigured. It may be your sister's turn next." Qu Zhizhen snorted coldly, unmoved.
“Father, but…but this is not my sister’s fault. She meant well but did the wrong thing. Besides, didn’t the Queen let her come back? That means everything is fine!” Qu Mingcheng was still arguing.
"Nothing? You probably don't know about the conspiracy between your sister and Concubine Li, right? The only one who can protect her now is Prince Jing. If she is still in the mansion, I'm afraid she will be involved in this matter again!" Qu Zhizhen slammed the table so hard that the teacup on the table almost fell off.
“Father…Father…” Qu Mingcheng was startled and took a step back involuntarily. He had never seen his father so angry before.
"Go down. This matter is not something you can handle. You must remember that everything I do is for you and for this family. Your sister can only stay safe in Prince Jing's Mansion." Qu Zhizhen exhaled hard, waved his hand, and said with a slightly relaxed expression, "You should study more and get a good academic performance. With you and your father backing your sister, your sister will be fine!"
"Yes, father!" Seeing him furious, Qu Mingcheng dared not say anything and could only lower his head and walk out.
He stood at the door of the study, frowned and looked behind him, and then looked towards Qianyueju with hatred. Since something had happened, and his sister was also in trouble, why was Qu Moying not in any trouble
His father sent his sister away without saying a word, but did nothing for that girl. How could Qu Mingcheng not be angry? He looked towards Qianyueju with hatred, his eyes full of hatred. He would definitely not keep that girl...
