"The youngest third daughter of the Ling Anbo family naturally didn't die of illness, nor was she afraid of being offended. It's just that this Third Miss Ji didn't follow the rules and actually eloped with someone. The Ji family was afraid that this scandal would spread, so they covered it up and only said that this Third Miss Ji was dead. From now on, there is no Third Miss Ji in the world. Both daughters are in trouble, and Ling Anbo is injured. It's a miracle that he can survive."
Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.
My heart was hit hard, so this is the truth about my sister's death
She placed her hand on the corner of the desk, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes: "She...she is only ten years old!"
"So what? There have been cases of young girls eloping with men before, and of course many of them have been deceived." Pei Yuanjun looked at Qu Moying and said lightly.
So, my sister died for such a dishonorable crime
Pei Yuanjun's words were like a cold sword, piercing her gentle expectations. Her sister really couldn't come back. Pei Luoan and Ji Youran not only killed her sister, but also put such a dirty hat on her...
This is not the reason that everyone outside is saying. It makes sense. In order to cover up such a "scandal", the sister's "death" is really nothing.
If the noble families found out about this, even if they really executed the person, it would not be a big deal.
So poisonous!
"Impossible! I don't believe it!" Qu Moying shook his head vigorously, his eyes full of blood.
"Yes or no, it's said that way, and it can be understood that way." Pei Yuanjun said lightly.
"I will find out!" Qu Moying bit her lip and swallowed the thick taste of blood in her throat. She was reborn. This was an opportunity, her only chance, and she would definitely seize it.
"You are very good!" Pei Yuanjun smiled, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised, which made him look extremely handsome. Such a face, and a pair of sleepy phoenix eyes that seemed to be full of affection, without the cold and strange aura, would definitely make the young ladies in the boudoir have their hearts beating like drums and feel shy.
What Qu Moying saw was the depth in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he turned sideways and bowed, extremely respectful: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Transactions also have a primary and secondary position. She knows her own position and where she should stand!
"How is Prince Jing?" Pei Yuanjun suddenly changed the subject lazily. He changed the subject too quickly. Qu Moying was stunned for a moment before slowly saying, "I wonder what the prince means by asking this?"
Of course, she didn't think Pei Yuanjun really asked her what she thought of Pei Yusheng.
"What if I let you marry Pei Yusheng?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows.
Qu Moying's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly gathered all his thoughts. He looked at Pei Yuanjun and said seriously, "I don't want to!"
"Why don't you want to? Maybe you can become your principal wife, and your future will be limitless?" Pei Yuanjun asked with some surprise. His nephews were all good-looking and powerful. It was the first time he heard a woman reject Pei Yusheng so decisively.
"That has nothing to do with me!" Qu Moying raised her head, looked Pei Yuanjun in the face, and spoke slowly, word by word, without any shyness on her face, as if she was talking about someone else's business, which was very different from the reaction of an ordinary lady.
"If you want to be Miss Liu, it's not impossible." Pei Yuanjun suddenly became meaningful and reached out to take it.
The veil on her head made him see her beautiful and charming face immediately. He raised his handsome eyes slightly and met Qu Moying's watery eyes, as if he was examining her.
Qu Moying looked at him openly, shook her head, and said decisively: "I am not Miss Liu, I am the fourth lady of Minister Qu's mansion."
In this life, she is Qu Moying, not Liu Lanxin, and she is not willing to be Liu Lanxin.
Or maybe Pei Yuanjun had a way to turn himself into Liu Lanxin, or Miss Liu, and marry Pei Yusheng with such an identity. It would indeed be possible for her to become the Princess of Jing. Just look at the fact that Prince Jing deliberately carried the letter with him in the hope of meeting her by chance, and also said that he would pass the message to the General Auxiliary State on his behalf, which she could not refuse. It was clear that Pei Yusheng was really interested in marrying her.
But she didn't want to!
"If you don't want to, then don't do it!" Pei Yuanjun did not force it. He curled the corners of his thin lips, picked up Qu Moying's veil that was placed aside, stood up and walked behind Qu Moying, put the veil over her eyes, and then carefully tied a knot behind her head that was neither loose nor too wide.
She turned around and walked in front of her, checking that she had tied her veil well, raised the corner of her lips with a hint of elegant smile, reached out and pressed the corner of Qu Moying's eyes, smoothing out the wrinkles on her veil.
Then he waved.
Qu Moying knew it was time for her to leave, so she bowed sideways, then turned and walked out. When she reached the door, she opened it and saw Yu Dong already waiting outside. The two of them returned to the private room one after the other. Nanny Zhou was already there, but she looked a little nervous. She was relieved to see Qu Moying coming back.
He hurried forward and said with concern: "Miss..."
"Is everything done?" Qu Moying shook his head silently.
"Everything has been done." Nanny Zhou nodded.
"Let's go!" Qu Moying walked out, and Yu Dong and Nanny Zhou hurriedly followed. They left the private room, went downstairs, and got on the carriage parked outside. The carriage moved forward all the way to Qu's Mansion.
Pei Yuanjun stood at the window upstairs with his hands behind his back, watching the carriage of the Qu Mansion leave, and suddenly asked meaningfully: "Would it be bad for Miss Qu Si to marry King Jing?"
Ji Hai said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Miss Qu Si doesn't like Prince Jing."
"Like? Can you comment on royal marriages with like?" Pei Yuanjun said indifferently, his extremely long eyelashes fluttered twice, his eyes became cold, and he said with a smile, "If this fourth Miss Qu married King Jing, it would actually be quite interesting, right?"
Ji Hai didn't dare to respond. He secretly glanced at the sinister smile on his master's face and shuddered inwardly. He was frightened by the prince's expression, as if he had remembered something interesting.
But Miss Qu Si is not a toy, she is a living person.
And the most important point is that Ji Hai feels that Fourth Miss Qu is different, different from anyone else in the past, but the prince doesn't seem to think that his interest in her is a little too great this time.
When returning to the mansion, Qu Moying first paid his respects to the lady dowager, and brought Nanny Zhou with her. The lady dowager knew Nanny Zhou. At that time, Qu Zhizhen pushed all the blame on Nanny Zhou and wanted to beat her to death, but the lady dowager was against it.
Unfortunately, Qu Zhizhen was not an obedient person. Fortunately, Madam Ling Anbo intervened and took Nanny Zhou away, and the matter was finally over.
Now that the times have changed, it would be best if Nanny Zhou could come back to take care of Qu Moying. In the past, Nanny Zhou was the most capable person around Yue.
She asked the steward to write down Madam Zhou's name and put it back into the list of servants in the Qu Mansion. She also asked Qu Moying to pick out a plain white dress. These were newly made in the needlework room and were to be sent to the old lady this time. Originally, the old lady wanted to send them to various places, but since Qu Moying came back first, she let her choose first.
The Madam Dowager personally intervened in this matter this time to prevent what happened last time in front of the Crown Princess's spirit from happening again.
After Qu Moying asked Yu Dong to pick up a set, he returned to Qianyueju.
Nanny Miao in Qianyueju had been waiting for her. When she saw her come back, she hurried forward to greet her. She looked a little anxious. Qu Moying understood and brought people in.
First, he introduced Nanny Zhou to everyone, and asked her to be in charge of affairs together with Nanny Miao in the future. After everything was made clear, he asked Yudong to take Nanny Zhou to rest first.
After Nanny Zhou left, Nanny Miao stepped forward and reported, "Miss, the second master is out today."
Qu Zhizhen's legs and feet have not been feeling well these days, so he has not been traveling and even asked for leave to attend court. Qu Moying asked Madam Miao to pay more attention to Qu Zhizhen when she is in the mansion.
"When?" Qu Moying's heart moved.
"It should be the time when the young lady left. It should be not far from the time when the young lady left. Did the young lady see the second master go out?" Nanny Miao thought for a moment and said. She found out about it from other servants afterwards.
"No!" Qu Moying shook his head. He already understood that the person who was standing outside and eavesdropping on his conversation with Qu Qiuyan was indeed Qu Zhizhen.
"Do you know why you went out? Didn't you say your legs weren't feeling well?"
"I don't know the details, but it seems to be related to the Third Miss. The Third Miss even sent the Second Master out at that time!" Madam Miao said worriedly, "Didn't the young lady even see the Third Miss?"
"I see!" Qu Moying nodded. It was indeed related to Qu Qiuyan. This was also the reason why Qu Qiuyan chased him and put on such a show.
Not her biological daughter? If possible, she really didn't want her to be Qu Zhizhen's biological daughter. This cheap father was not only partial, but also seemed to be a man who would do anything to achieve his goals. If he doubted that she was not the real Qu Moying, it might be a trap set by his political enemies, and he would not be merciful.
"Miss, what should we do now?" Madam Miao said anxiously, "Miss, you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, Ma'am. I know. Nothing will happen." Qu Moying comforted Ma'am Miao and reached out to press behind her ear, where there was a mole.
"Miss, now..."
"There's no need to do anything now. If that couple comes again, just send them away. Tell them that they'll be brought to justice if they come again." Qu Moying said indifferently.
"Yes, I understand." There was a lot of meaning in these words. Madam Miao understood them and walked out after agreeing. When she reached the door, Qu Moying suddenly called her, "Madam Miao, come back first."
"Miss, is there anything else?" Nanny Miao turned around and went back into the house.
Qu Moying thought for a moment and walked to the table. He picked up a piece of paper and wrote a letter. After letting it dry a little, he tore it into pieces under Aunt Miao's surprised eyes. Then he threw some away and put the remaining part into an ordinary handkerchief, wrapped it up, tied a knot, and handed it to Aunt Miao, "Go and bury it secretly!"
