"Yes, I originally wanted to tell you about this. It's not good for her to stay in the mansion. Your father's idea is to let her go into seclusion. At least she can live a peaceful life, which will be good for you, your third sister and the others!" The lady sighed, feeling helpless.
"Before, she asked Yu's people to spread rumors outside. Your father also told me that Yu is not a good person, and no one in the Yu Mansion is a good person. How dare they say such things."
When the lady said this, she became angry and her face darkened.
As soon as he saw the lady's expression, Qu Moying knew that Qu Zhizhen had not told her about the booklet, but this was also understandable.
Since the lady only knows that Yu sent someone to tell her about her life story, let's start from there.
“Grandma, my mother really…” Qu Moying couldn’t continue speaking here. She lowered her head and held the handkerchief in her hand, as if she didn’t know where to start for a moment.
"Your mother is a good person. It is impossible for her to do anything bad. I knew everything when she was in the mansion. You are also your grandmother's granddaughter. Don't let your imagination run wild." The lady patted Qu Moying's head gently and comforted her kindly.
"I know, but Madam Yu..." Qu Moying lowered her head with a sad look, and it was obvious that she was really sad.
"Yu has never been a good person. She was like this in the beginning and she is still like this now. Everything that happened now is her own fault." The lady said coldly, "Since she did such a thing, she should pray for your mother. Don't worry, after she leaves this time, she will never come back."
"Grandma, which temple is Madam Yu going to pray for blessings this time?" Qu Moying nodded, raised his head slightly, his eyes a little dark red.
"Just find a random place, your father will do it." The lady said nonchalantly.
"Grandma, we can't just pick a place randomly. Let Madam Yu go to the nunnery where mother used to live. Let her go there to pray for mother. It's also closer to her." Qu Moying bit the corner of her lip, and you could see a white line on her lips left by her biting.
The lady felt so distressed that she nodded repeatedly, "That's how it should be!"
Indeed, since the purpose was to pray for blessings, and Yu had done something unfair to Xiao Yue, it would be most appropriate to go to the nunnery where Xiao Yue died of complications during childbirth.
The old lady originally didn't want to get involved in this matter. She didn't like Yu in the first place, so why would she want to interfere in her affairs now? But since her granddaughter was right, the old lady thought it was a good idea. She felt guilty about Xiao Yue's affairs, so it would be good to compensate her a little.
Qu Qiuyan stayed here to chat with the old lady for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, she stood up to say goodbye. The old lady asked her to take all the gifts back, and reminded her that the return gift she prepared should not be too small.
Qu Moying agreed to all of them and then returned to Qianyueju.
Leave the contents of the gift box and the preparation of returning the gift to Nanny Yan. Nanny Yan is most adept at this kind of thing and can do it without any mistakes.
It was impossible for her to marry into the Duke of Qi's Mansion. She always felt that the Duke of Qi's Mansion had a great connection with her mother, and that Lady Minister Liu was also very strange.
Logically speaking, even if this Madam Liu, the Minister of the Imperial Court, and her mother had never met each other since childhood, she should not harbor any ill will towards her. However, she came to the conclusion that this Madam Liu, the Minister of the Imperial Court, seemed to be targeting her mother everywhere.
Two people, one in Jiangnan
Growing up, the one who grew up in the capital, seemed to have never had any connection. Even after her mother married into the capital and occasionally interacted with the Duke of Qi's Mansion, it was just occasional contact. This high and mighty Miss Qi seemed to have many strange and puzzling grievances with her mother.
Is it really because she stole her mother's marriage and because Minister Liu still misses her mother, that she dislikes her so much
But at that time, she had so many choices, but she chose the unknown Minister Liu. Although it was difficult to pass the exam, it was not the best choice for the noble families in the capital. How many top scholars were not satisfied with their official careers? But the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi married him.
And she married him in that way.
I’m afraid that Liu Zhuangyuan at that time didn’t dare to refuse!
This is mother’s sorrow.
If this was a coincidence, then what about afterwards? What did the eunuch sent by the Empress Dowager mean by looking for a pure girl? And the target was Jiangnan. My mother at that time should have been considered to meet the requirements. Was this really another accident
After that, it seemed that his mother had nothing in common with Madam Qi, but he and Liu Jingyu seemed to be natural rivals. When he was a child, Liu Jingyu wanted to kill him. After he grew up, Liu Jingyu attacked him again and again, and even planted a hidden chess piece in the Qu Mansion.
Was this made by Madam Qi or Liu Jingyu
Why would two people who obviously have nothing to do with each other bear such a huge cause and effect? Qu Moying felt that it was not on him, but on his mother.
But there seemed to be nothing wrong with her mother. However, the more she investigated recently, the more frightened she became. What did the Duke of Qi's Mansion mean? What was the matter with the closeness they always showed? The most important thing was not the wife of the Duke of Qi, but the Duke of Qi. It was this Duke of Qi who asked for permission to snatch her mother's marriage.
Is it because of guilt towards his mother? But for so many years, Qu Moying in Zhuangzi didn't seem to see the appearance of Duke Qi, so what does the appearance of Duke Qi mean now
They have shown goodwill again and again, and even this time, actually the Duke of Qi's Mansion itself did not have any major responsibility, it all fell on Liu Jingyu, and now Liu Jingyu has come to express his apologies. Considering Liu Jingyu's identity, he has already done his limit. What does the Duke of Qi's Mansion want to do
Moreover, she had also arranged a marriage for the young master of the Duke of Qi. If the young master of the Duke of Qi married her, it would really be marrying down.
Then there is the matter of Guqin Fengyu. The eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi’s Mansion clearly knows about this matter. Her mother has had the Guqin since she was a child. Why is it related to the Duke of Qi’s Mansion
Madam Qi doesn't like my mother and might even harm her. So why would the Duke Qi's Mansion be so friendly to me
What is the reason? I heard that my mother never attended banquets since she was young. She always stayed at home. Even many of Yue's relatives have never seen her. Why is that? My mother, Da Yue, also grew up in Jiangnan. Why is she different from my mother, Xiao Yue
Qu Moying couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he could only check slowly.
Even if something was not considered secret at the time, it would still be difficult to investigate after so many years, not to mention that this matter was obviously a secret.
A secret about my mother and the Duke of Qi's Mansion...
"What? Mother is going to be sent to a nunnery to practice asceticism?" When Qu Mingcheng got the news, he did not dare to look for Qu Zhizhen.
, first found Qu Qiuyan.
Since the last incident, Qu Mingcheng no longer has the face in front of Qu Zhizhen.
"Yes, this is the best. She lent money at high interest rates and her father found out." Qu Qiuyan looked exhausted.
"How dare she... do this?" Qu Mingcheng took a breath and then asked, "How did you find out?"
"I don't know, it may be related to the bakery she left to me. I think this matter must be related to Qu Moying. It was this little bitch who wanted to harm my mother." Qu Qiuyan gritted her teeth.
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was true.
"Mother, she...she...how could she be so confused!" Qu Mingcheng understood, and stood up angrily and turned around a few times. "How could she do such a thing? Even if she loves money, she can't do such a thing. It will definitely affect father and me."
Of course, Qu Mingcheng cares more about his future than money.
"You are so silly. Can you just take things given by your mother? I felt it was inappropriate at the time, but you asked me to go and take a look. Now you have figured out what's going on." Qu Mingcheng angrily accused Qu Qiuyan.
"Is this my fault? It was mother's own carelessness. And you, brother, you went to look for her before, how come something went wrong? You must have revealed something and let Qu Moying's people know about it. Second brother, you are really something. You couldn't even handle such a small matter, and now you have hurt mother to this extent."
Qu Qiuyan retorted in annoyance.
"You're still blaming me for this. It's all your fault, you and mother. You both have such a narrow vision that you only care about money. What's the use of having money if you don't have power? Women have long hair but short vision." Qu Mingcheng became angry and pointed at Qu Qiuyan. After that, he turned around and left without saying goodbye to Qu Qiuyan.
He didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore. His father had done the most he could by sending his mother away.
It’s best for him to pretend he knows nothing now.
Coming out of Furong Pavilion and stepping onto the path leading to East Palace, Qu Mingcheng saw a person in the distance. It turned out to be Aunt Hailan. Qu Mingcheng stopped, thought for a moment and turned in another direction. At this time, he had to stay away from his mother. From now on, the person he could rely on was his father, not his mother. If he became too close to his mother, it would make his father angry.
He even regretted coming from the East Palace just now. After returning, he would not come to the West Palace again for a period of time.
We have to wait until mother is sent away before we can do anything!
Aunt Hailan was indeed here to wait for Qu Mingcheng, because Yu was leaving and some things needed to be prepared. At least Yu was still the second wife of the Qu family and the wife of the minister, and her condition was not very good at the moment. So the task of finding a doctor and preparing some necessities fell on Aunt Hailan.
The old woman guarding the gate of the courtyard also left. Yu asked Aunt Hailan to take the opportunity to look for her son and daughter, but her daughter turned the door away. She said that Qu Qiuyan had burned her arm and could not get up, so it was inconvenient for her to come and see her. Yu could only go to see her after she settled down. As for going to the East Palace, Aunt Hailan had no time, so she could only wait here for a while. She heard that the second young master had come to the West Palace.
But in the end, Aunt Hailan did not wait for the second young master, so she could only leave helplessly and report to Yu.
On the second night, Yu quietly left the Qu Mansion in a small carriage with only Aunt Hailan by her side...
