"The other day, the son of the Marquis of Yongning sent a few pots of flowers, which were placed at the residences of the Third Miss and Miss Yu. There were two extra pots, which were originally intended to be sent to the Second Madam, but the Second Madam thought it would be better to give them to the Fourth Miss, so she sent this maid over." The old woman explained with a smile.
"Send it to me?" Qu Moying asked with a hint of depth in his eyes.
"Yes, the Second Madam said that the Fourth Miss, who is so young, must like flowers. Even if she doesn't look at them, at least she can smell them. Such beautiful flowers are pleasing to the eyes. If it were those inconspicuous flowers, the Second Madam would not have asked me to bring them." The maid sent by Yu was a good talker.
It sounds as good when spoken as when sung.
If you think carefully about the meaning of these words, it makes people angry.
What does it mean to just smell it? What does it mean to have such beautiful flowers and such inconspicuous flowers
Yu Chun's face turned red with anger. If Qu Moying hadn't asked her to keep calm before, she would have given up long ago. Saying such things in front of the Fourth Young Lady was just a satire on her poor eyesight and ugly appearance.
It has been a while since Yuchun returned to the mansion, and she just found out that the servants in the mansion all think that their young lady is ugly and blind. The young lady is so beautiful, but she has such a reputation. Yuchun has always been indignant, and now the second wife is even using this to satirize the fourth young lady.
It’s so bullying!
"Thank you, Second Madam, but you have to move these flowers back first." Qu Moying smiled slightly, as if she didn't hear the other meaning in the old woman's words.
"Fourth Miss, the Second Madam is your elder, how can you return the flowers you gave her? This is against etiquette." The old woman, whose face was covered with flowers just now, suddenly looked gloomy and said.
"Can't return it?" Qu Moying said indifferently.
"I dare not refuse the gift from the elder. Second Madam wants to give Fourth Miss flowers with good intentions. How can Fourth Miss trample on Second Madam's kindness again and again?" The old woman was very angry and her voice became louder.
The sound of their conversations had become louder, which had already alarmed the maids and old women outside the door. They all pricked up their ears curiously to listen to what was going on.
"Yuchun, slap your face." Qu Moying said lightly.
Yuchun took two steps forward and slapped the old woman twice hard on the face, causing her head to tilt to the side.
When he turned back, he was already filled with anger and rage, and shrilly said, "Fourth Miss..."
"Go back and tell Madam Second that I can't keep these flowers here for now, so I'll put them in the yard where I'm going to live. Grandma is old, and I can't keep disturbing her rest here. Before, I only said that it would take two or three days to clean up, so it should be done by now!"
Qu Moying ignored the old woman's hideous face after being beaten and spoke without moving his brows.
When she returned home, Yu only said that the courtyard prepared for her was not ready yet, so she asked her to temporarily live in a small courtyard in a remote area. Later, a fire broke out, and she took refuge in the lady's warm room. I'm afraid Yu had long forgotten that the courtyard she agreed to live in was the one that Yu Qingmeng lived in every time she came to the mansion.
Yu had known for a long time that Qu Qiuyan had sent her maid Qinghe to plot against her, and she probably didn't think that she would survive. The so-called cleaning up the yard was just empty talk.
Since Yu has delivered the message to me today, it just so happens that I want this yard!
“No… No…” The old woman was speechless. She had never expected that things would develop in this direction. All the responses that the Second Madam had mentioned before were of no use.
"go back
Report to the Second Madam that I will move in tomorrow. The Second Madam has promised me that I can stay here for several days. I can’t keep disturbing my grandmother!”
Qu Moying put down the embroidery frame in her hand, and her eyes fell coolly on the old woman's face.
There was no such thing as returning Yu's things. What the old woman said before seemed like an attempt to deliberately stir up trouble.
But if she brought such news back, the old woman knew clearly that the Second Madam would be angry.
Miss Yu will stay in the mansion tonight, and tomorrow morning, Miss Four wants to move there. Isn't this a dream? But the two slaps just now also made her clearly realize that the Miss Four in front of her is no longer the angry look she had at the beginning.
The most important thing is that what the fourth young lady said makes sense.
"Why, you can't make the decision?" Qu Moying leaned back and smiled, "Do I need to ask my nanny to come over and ask clearly?"
"No... no need. I'll go and tell the Second Madam right away." When she heard that they were going to ask my nanny to come over, it meant that they were going to let the Madam know. Sweat started to break out on her forehead. Everyone in the mansion knew that the Madam didn't like the Second Madam.
She originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, but she didn't expect that it would fail. When it came to her, she was afraid that the people around the old lady would find out, so she didn't dare to say anything more at this time. She immediately asked someone to hold two pots of flowers and left in shame.
Seeing the old woman leave without saying another word, Yu Chun clapped his hands refreshed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, why would the Second Madam send flowers at this time?" After clapping her hands and closing the door, Yuchun asked curiously.
Qu Moying stood up and walked to the dressing table and sat down. Her eyes could not be overworked yet. Embroidering under the lamp was just to relieve her boredom. It was time to rest. "Yu Qingmeng wanted to be with Xu Lipeng, so she must let Xu Lipeng cancel my marriage. Although Xu Lipeng wanted to cancel the engagement, he should have wanted me to cancel it. It is me who will have a bad reputation, not him."
Yuchun came over and took off the wide veil for Qu Moying.
In the makeup mirror, the girl with delicate features closed her eyes tightly, with her long eyelashes drooping, like a tired butterfly. She has a kind of quiet and leisurely beauty. The faint red deep in her eye sockets is as charming as peach blossoms, and her long, dark and curled eyelashes make her look even more gentle and charming.
But the expression on her face was very cold and her cherry lips were tightly pursed, diluting the tenderness.
Every time Yu Chun saw her young lady's face, she felt amazed, especially in recent days. Although the young lady looked like a porcelain doll in the past, she lacked vitality. Even when she opened her eyes, they were gray without a trace of fluctuation. It was as if she was in her seventies or eighties, had experienced too many tragedies in life, and had seen through the world.
There is no vitality.
The whole person was shrouded in darkness, and even his eyes looked dull.
Yuchun once again felt that the young lady now was very good. Even with his eyes closed, he could sense her vitality, instead of being stagnant and lifeless as before.
There were even many times when Yuchun felt that her young lady did not want to live anymore, and had a feeling that she would leave at any time.
The lady here is very good!
"Miss, do you really want to cancel this marriage?" Yu Chun let down Qu Moying's hair bun and asked after a moment of hesitation, wanting to confirm the young lady's intention again.
"Of course I have to cancel it. Xu Lipeng wants to cancel the engagement, but he also wants to gain a good reputation. This will definitely ruin my reputation, not to mention Yu Qingmeng."
Qu Mo Ying Dao
, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror with a cold smile.
"Yu Qingmeng and Xu Lipeng are in love with each other. If that's the case, I will help them get together."
Xu Lipeng did not openly break off the engagement with me, but he was ambiguous with Yu Qingmeng and acted gentle and caring towards me. One can imagine what kind of person he is.
In her previous life, she was also deceived by Xu Lipeng's appearance and thought that he really had a good character. She had mentioned him to the prince more than once. The prince Pei Luoan also said that he would take another look at him. Later, he said that he was a person who could be cultivated. Maybe he had already been accepted as a disciple by Pei Luoan, but had not yet entered the officialdom.
Thinking more deeply, perhaps the reason why the Yongning Marquis' Mansion had not cancelled the engagement was related to my past life. After all, at that time, I would have given some gifts to Qu Moying, and I was the future Crown Princess with a bright future.
But it is different now. Ji Hanyue is dead. Although the news has been blocked, even if no one knows that she is dead, the rumors outside make people think that the Crown Princess is dying. Without Ji Hanyue, there is no need to maintain Qu Moying's marriage with the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Plus, if it was me who got into trouble, the Yongning Marquisate would definitely go along with it...
Yu and Yu Qingmeng are about to take action, and it just so happens that I also need to take action. Whether Xu Lipeng is Pei Luoan's man depends on the results of these actions.
"They are so shameless!" Yu Chun cursed indignantly. She originally thought that this marriage was a pity, but now that the young lady reminded her, she also felt that the Yongning Marquis's son was too scumbag. She turned her head and became worried again, "Young lady, will Miss Yu give you the yard tomorrow? She has occupied it for so long, and those who don't know would think she is the young lady of the mansion."
The proper young ladies in the mansion could only live in remote places, but her cousin occupied the best courtyard in the mansion. Yu Chun felt angrier and angrier.
"Won't."
Qu Moying said affirmatively.
"Then... what should we do?" Yu Chun's eyes widened, and she became more and more angry. "Miss, we will go and drive them away tomorrow. Do you want me and Madam Miao to take them there?"
"No need!" Qu Moying shook her head. The girl in the mirror had black hair scattered down, her eyes slightly raised, and she looked very calm. "They will jump out by themselves!"
She needed Yu and Yu Qingmeng to jump out. Even if they didn't jump, she would make them jump...
They will have to move tomorrow...
"What, we're moving in tomorrow?" Yu Qingmeng's face turned blue with anger. She turned around and looked at Yu, tears welling up in her eyes. "Aunt, is she going to kick me out? This is the place you arranged for me. I've been living here for a long time. You said I can come and live here anytime I want. She...what does she mean?"
Originally he wanted to provoke Qu Moying, but he didn't expect to be outmaneuvered by her. Yu Qingmeng felt very aggrieved.
Yu was also furious, but she was calmer than Yu Qingmeng after all. She reached out and pressed Yu Qingmeng's hand: "You will be sick tomorrow!"
"Aunt, am I pretending to be sick?" Yu Qingmeng felt more and more aggrieved. "Even if I am pretending to be sick, how long can I pretend for? I can't keep pretending forever, right?"
"It won't be long before this marriage is cancelled and you become someone's concubine. You will be disgraced and have the nerve to live in the best courtyard in the mansion? I will talk to your uncle and he will send you to the mansion in a sedan chair when the time comes." Yu said viciously, her eyes glancing in the direction of the lady's courtyard.
