"Poor child, if I had known earlier... I would never have let Yu succeed." Mrs. Qi sighed after hearing this.
“I was foolish at the beginning and believed Yu’s sweet words. If it weren’t for... now... now..." Lady Yongning was so sad that she couldn’t even speak. She turned her head and wiped away her tears.
Qu Moying remained speechless.
"Mother, don't be sad, it's all over." Xu Lipeng advised.
"It's over, but I can't get over it. Every night when I go to bed, I see Madam Qu Er, who always says that I have let her down. I...how can I face her in the afterlife?" Madam Yongning Hou became excited, and her voice unconsciously became louder, even with a tone of accusation.
"..." Xu Lipeng was speechless when he was questioned.
He looked at Qu Moying, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just sighed deeply.
This kind of hesitant attitude made Qu Moying feel inexplicably disgusted. Now that things have come to this, could it be that Xu Lipeng is still daydreaming about something
Madam Qi waved her hand and said, "What happened before is over. There is no need to mention it again. I will make the decision for both of you two families!"
Qu Moying's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Madam Qi.
Madam Qi continued, "Since there was a misunderstanding between the two families, let's resolve it."
“But now…” The wife of Marquis Yongning looked overjoyed and wiped away her tears.
"The current situation can be dealt with now. I wonder what the attitude of your family is?" Madam Qi said with a serious face.
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning said in surprise: "If it can really be handled, it would be the best. When I go to the underworld, I will be happy to see Madam Qu Er."
"What is the attitude of your prince?" Madam Qi looked at Xu Lipeng, "You were the one who made the decision on this matter, but you were wrong. We have to see what they mean."
These words were said with great consideration for Qu Moying's intention. This meant that Xu Lipeng should express his stance in front of Qu Moying, or it could be said that Xu Lipeng should make a guarantee to Qu Moying.
Since this guarantee was made in front of Madam Qi, it also means that if Xu Lipeng causes any trouble again in the future, Madam Qi will completely stand on Qu Moying's side.
It also means that the Duke of Qi's Mansion will stand on Qu Moying's side.
In Madam Qi's opinion, if Xu Lipeng said something today, he must do it in the future. Even if she is gone in the future, doesn't she still have her granddaughter
"Madam, I will be eternally grateful." Xu Lipeng seemed to be stumped by the question. He raised his eyes to look at Qu Moying, then turned to the madam, stood up with a serious expression, and spoke in a deep voice to Madam Qi.
Seeing him being so serious, Madam Qi was very satisfied. She turned to look at Qu Moying and said kindly, "You still have to talk to your grandmother about this matter. You can't make the decision here. The reason why I'm asking for you is because you have to be satisfied with this matter."
This means that Qu Moying should be satisfied.
Madam Yongning and Xu Lipeng really have the nerve to do such a thing and say such words? They really treat themselves as three-year-olds, or children who don't know anything.
This marriage has come full circle, and it can actually come back
"Madam, let's forget about this marriage!" Qu Moying said calmly.
.
The words were spoken directly, without a trace of euphemism.
The wife of Marquis Yongning's expression of tears of joy froze, her fingers tightly clenched the handkerchief, and her eyes became sharp. How could such a delicate and weak girl dare to say such words in front of her and Madam Qi
Xu Lipeng frowned. He always felt that Qu Moying's personality was not very likable. Looking at what she said, how could a young lady from a noble family say such things in front of him? She had no manners at all!
Madam Qi also felt that Qu Moying was inappropriate. Her smiling face darkened and she felt unhappy.
Originally she had good intentions and wanted to help the two families continue the marriage, but there are a lot of things involved and it can't be explained in just a few words.
Since he had taken on this matter, it meant that he would be responsible for any troubles in the future. In his heart, he even thought long and hard about Miss Qu Si. Even if he was not around in the future, as long as his granddaughter was around, the Yongning Marquisate would not dare to treat her badly.
As for what happened in the past, it’s over. Given Miss Qu Si’s conditions, there is really no better possibility.
Before going out, she patted her chest in front of her old Duke, saying that she would definitely get the matter done. Unexpectedly, the situation that Madam Qu would disagree as she had imagined did not occur. Instead, Qu Moying, the young lady, actually dared to say such rude words.
After all, it was because no one taught her when she was young that she said such things.
"Miss Qu Er, this matter... will benefit you a lot. The two families already have a deep relationship. Renewing the relationship will be a good story. You may not understand these things because you are young. I will go and explain it to your grandmother. She will definitely agree to it."
Madam Qi advised calmly with a gentle tone. In her opinion, this was also a subtle explanation. If the two families were not closely related, who would be willing to get involved
Madam Qi was unwilling to tell the twists and turns of this matter in front of the wife of Marquis Yongning.
"Thank you, Madam. Let's just leave it at that!" Qu Moying slowly lowered his head and reiterated.
This time, not only the wife of Marquis Yongning looked unhappy, but the gentleness on Madam Qi's face also lost some of its expression. She really looked down upon Qu Moying's upbringing and temperament.
But she must have been through a lot, and after the gentle expression on her face froze for a moment, she smiled again: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it now."
This perfunctory attitude obviously means that it is just not said for the time being.
Qu Moying wouldn't really think that Madam Qi would just let it go.
"Madam Dowager and Madam Hou, please sit for a while. I'm going to the main hall to check on my mother's incense and will come back to accompany the two ladies later." Qu Moying said softly.
"It's almost time. I have to go back too." Mrs. Qi stood up.
"I won't bother you anymore." The wife of Marquis Yongning also stood up and reached out to support Madam Qi, looking very affectionate.
A group of people left directly from the side hall. Xu Lipeng walked at the end and bowed deeply to Qu Moying, who turned sideways to return the greeting.
"Miss Qu Si, can you please spare me a moment to talk?" Xu Lipeng stood up straight and asked in a gentle voice instead of walking away.
Qu Moying raised his eyes to look at him and said coldly, "Master Xu, please speak."
Not far ahead, Madam Qi and Madam Yongning continued to walk forward.
, just stay and talk.
"Miss Fourth Qu... do you really still hate me so much?" Xu Lipeng showed a trace of disappointment on his face. There was no one else around at the moment, so he said it very simply.
Qu Moying found it really ironic. The Prince of Yongning said this as if she really had something in common with him. When she was reborn in her cousin's body, she recalled how the Prince of Yongning saw Qu Moying and felt something was wrong at the first moment. She met Pei Luoan in her previous life. Could it be that she had to marry Xu Lipeng, who was similar to Pei Luoan, in this life
This marriage was originally planned by myself.
"Prince Xu is now engaged, so there are some things you'd better not say, and shouldn't say." Qu Moying said bluntly. Without Madam Qi around, she didn't have to worry too much.
"Miss Qu Si, I was wrong back then. I was deceived by Yu Qingmeng. But now everything has been righted. Yu Qingmeng is no longer with us. I have never married, and you have never married. Everything can start over again, right?" Xu Lipeng said.
Qu Moying was almost amused by Xu Lipeng's words. How thick-skinned must the son of the Yongning Marquis be to say such a thing.
"Master Xu, can you collect this water?" She took a teacup from the table at the side, flipped her hand, turned the teacup over, and the water poured out.
"You..." Xu Lipeng's face showed anger, and he stared at Qu Moying in embarrassment.
In his opinion, he had been very nice to Qu Moying and even gave her a guarantee. Under such circumstances, it was really too much for Qu Moying to still hold on to the past.
This time, the water was poured out, implying that it could not be collected back, and it was more like a direct slap in Xu Lipeng's face.
"Don't you know that your marriage is difficult?" These words came out of her mouth.
"Thank you for your concern, Master Xu. It's just that I have someone I want to marry, and the person I can marry is not Master Xu." Xu Lipeng said without any consideration, and Qu Moying did the same. She raised her eyes and looked at Xu Lipeng coldly, with the corners of her lips slightly raised. Even with the veil on her face, one could see a hint of sarcasm at the bottom of her lips.
"You... really don't know what you are talking about." Xu Lipeng was so angry at her provocative attitude that his face turned blue. He swung his sleeves fiercely, "Fourth Miss Qu, are you still a lady from an aristocratic family? Can you say such things? You are really uneducated. You dare to say anything and don't understand anything! Now that the two families are united, both will benefit. Don't you understand that, Fourth Miss Qu?"
"I just don't understand what my affairs have to do with Master Xu? Master Xu, please come in!" Qu Moying coldly drove the guest away. What she hated the most was hearing people say that someone was uneducated. If it wasn't Yu's fault, would she have been thrown onto the farm with no one to protect her
"Fourth Miss Qu..." Xu Lipeng wanted to speak, but Yu Dong had already stepped forward and stood in front of Qu Moying, smiling and saying, "Master Xu, please come in."
"Qu Moying, you will regret this." Xu Lipeng said, shaking his sleeves, then turned around and strode away.
Yudong followed him, watched him leave, and then came back.
"Miss, what do they want to do? Do they want to renew this marriage?" Yu Chun stared at the door, very angry. "Not only is the wife of Yongning Marquis here, but even Madam Qi has misunderstood. Miss, what should we do?"
"Let them be!" Qu Moying said, her eyes dark. Her marriage was no longer something they could calculate, but she had more important things to do right now...
