"Are you sick?" The lady looked at Yu, who came to pay her respects early in the morning, with a somewhat cold expression.
The old lady had known about the big noise the maid sent by Yu made in the warm room yesterday. She looked at Qu Moying who was sitting quietly on the side, and then at Yu who had wiped her eyes red with a handkerchief, and she became furious.
She really didn't believe such a coincidence!
"I heard that there was a car accident in the downtown area yesterday, and Qingmeng almost got into trouble. If it weren't for Master Xu... I'm afraid... I'm afraid she wouldn't have come back. Her body has always been weak, and she was frightened. She had nightmares last night and fell ill." Yu wiped her eyes again and said.
"Ying was also frightened. She was fine last night and even came to greet me early this morning. I was originally most worried about Ying because she has always been the weakest child."
The lady scolded with a cold face.
Although Yu Qingmeng looks thin and weak, he is in good health. Qu Moying is a little thinner than Yu Qingmeng, and even his body is smaller than Yu Qingmeng. He has not grown up yet. When the two of them stand together, it is obvious that Qu Moying is the weaker one.
Qu Moying was sitting there peacefully, but Yu Qingmeng was frightened and fell ill
Yu's heart skipped a beat and she said hastily, "Madam, Qingmeng has always been timid and overthinks, so she is sick."
"Think too much? What is there to think about? Yu, this courtyard was originally prepared for Ying. Now that Ying is back, Miss Yu, please go to the guest house." The lady said bluntly.
"Mother, Qingmeng is still sick." Yu didn't expect the lady to be so heartless, and said in embarrassment.
Qu Moying must have said something to the lady. It was a pity that I came too late and didn't hear what Qu Moying said to the lady. I secretly hated him in my heart.
"Even though she is sick, it doesn't matter if she moves to the guest room. She is a guest, so what's the point of her occupying the main courtyard all the time? Or do you like your niece from your mother's family and want to let her marry in?" the lady said coldly.
Yu gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Qu Mingcheng and Qu Qiuyan are twins. This is the most important reason why Yu can still gain a foothold in the Qu family even though she is not liked by the lady-in-waiting.
As for Qu Mingcheng, he was the treasure in Yu's heart.
"Mother, what are you talking about? Mingcheng is even younger than Qingmeng. Now is the time for him to go to school and prepare for the imperial examinations. How can he think about such things?" Yu was anxious.
Of course, my son is more important than my niece.
"Since you have no plan to let Miss Yu marry in, but you have been keeping a yard for her in the mansion, other families will misunderstand and say many things that are not pleasant to hear. Your niece is already grown up, but she still hasn't been engaged. Maybe people will think you have this idea." The lady warned coldly.
Yu tugged the handkerchief in her hand a few times. She didn't expect the lady to say such words.
As Yu Qingmeng's aunt, she naturally knew why Yu Qingmeng had not been engaged. She could even say that she tried her best to help her marry into the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.
Of course she didn't dare say this to the lady-in-waiting. When she heard the lady-in-waiting say this to her face, her face turned red.
"Mother, even if Qingmeng moves to the guest room now, there are still many of her things in the yard, and we can't sort them out all at once." Yu said with a swallow of anger.
"When we returned home that day, didn't the Second Madam say that she had already cleaned up, but there were still some loose ends to be cleaned up? How come there are still so many now?" Qu Moying raised his head, looked at Yu, and asked softly.
“I… I was
There aren't many, but I didn't expect there are so many." Yu had to explain.
This was what she had mentioned before, just for the sake of courtesy to Qu Moying. In order to make it sound more reasonable, even if Yu Qingmeng went to Qu's house during those days, she would go back to Yu's house at night.
But yesterday, because of what happened to Yu Qingmeng during the day, Yu saw that she was so scared and aggrieved that she forgot about it and habitually let her stay. In the evening, the words conveyed by the maid made Yu and Yu Qingmeng even angrier. They only wanted to occupy the yard. No one expected that Qu Moying would mention the previous polite words.
"Mother, Qingmeng is a guest. We can't let people say that our Qu Mansion is not hospitable and drive out a sick guest." Yu turned to the lady dowager and said earnestly. The lady dowager had the final say here.
The lady has always been very concerned about her reputation and would never do anything like chasing guests away.
In the past, even if the lady did not like Qingmeng, she would not show it, and at least she seemed to be very friendly to her family.
After all, the Yu family is still a relative of the Qu family, and giving face to the Yu family is also giving face to the Qu family itself.
Yu's purpose was to get the lady-in-waiting to say a few words to make things convenient for the occasion, and the matter would be resolved.
With the Madam's words, no one would pay attention to what Qu Moying said.
Just get past the Madam.
If Qu Moying had not mentioned Yu Qingmeng yesterday, the old lady might not have been able to make it too obvious in public. But when she saw Qu Moying coming back yesterday covered in blood and in a dishevel, and heard that Xu Lipeng had gone to send Yu Qingmeng off, the old lady became suspicious and deliberately asked my nanny to go out and inquire at night.
She usually doesn't care about what happens in the mansion.
Xu Lipeng would come to give gifts during the holidays, and sometimes he would come to see her at home, and they were quite warm. In the past, she just thought that Xu Lipeng was a good person who protected this marriage.
But what my nanny found out yesterday made the lady so angry that she almost died.
How dare Yu let Yu Qingmeng accompany Xu Lipeng, a single man and a single woman, and more than once? What does she want to do
Every time Xu Lipeng came, Yu Qingmeng was always the one to accompany him. The old lady understood this very well. Now, she didn't think it was excessive even if she kicked Yu Qingmeng out, let alone let him go to the guest house.
The Qu family treated the Yu family as a serious marriage, but the Yu family took advantage of this relationship and came to the Qu family's house to secretly snatch the husband of their daughter.
It's so despicable to repay kindness with evil!
"Is Miss Yu a lady of our Qu Mansion, or is she the master of our Qu Mansion?" Thinking of this, the lady's tone was no longer good.
"Second Madam, the furniture placed in the yard are all prepared by our house. Did Miss Yu bring anything from the Yu house?" Qu Moying followed slowly.
The two sentences, spoken one after the other, left Yu speechless.
Qianyueju is where Yu Qingmeng lives now. It is one of the best courtyards in the mansion. It is as big as Qu Qiuyan's Furong Pavilion and has a beautiful environment. When Yu Qingmeng moved in, everything had already been arranged. Everything inside belonged to the Qu Mansion. What did Yu Qingmeng have of his own
"Mother, I will ask Qingmeng to move to the guest room now." The lady was still looking at her coldly from above, and Yu had to grit her teeth and agree to give in.
"That's great, you can go and take care of it now!" The lady ordered him to leave in a cold voice.
Yu gritted her teeth until they were about to bleed, but she had to put on a smile and go back to busy herself with the moving of the yard.
Watching Yu leave, Qu Moying's lips curled up silently.
Not only that, Yu Mengqing moved into the Qu Mansion as the owner, but squeezed out his legitimate master. He even tried to hook up with Xu Lipeng, who was engaged to him. What he did was even more disgusting.
At this time, he still doesn't forget to stay at home. He wants to move even though he is "sick". He has lost all his dignity and face. How can he give up
"Grandma, do you want to invite the wife of Marquis Yongning to come over to discuss this today?" Qu Moying asked softly.
Yu Qingmeng, how could Xu Lipeng not be here when I felt so wronged
"Ying girl, have you told grandmother that you really don't like this marriage?" The lady looked at Qu Moying with a heavy face and confirmed once again.
“Grandmother, even if Master Xu has a thousand good qualities, they are for others. As for me... I’m afraid he will either be thrown aside or make way for the woman he will love in the future. My mother... my mother... she..." Qu Moying lowered his head and his voice became hoarse when he said this.
Although she didn't specify what she said, the lady had already understood it. Looking at the weak girl in front of her, she felt pity and pain in her heart.
It is hard to say whether Xu Lipeng is another Qu Zhizhen, or even worse than Qu Zhizhen. Just look at the ambiguous relationship between him and Yu Qingmeng right now, and who knows how far it has gone.
It's not that the lady is prejudiced against Qingmeng, it's just that Yu had done this a long time ago. Now there is another Yu. Will Ying girl still follow her mother's old path
"Okay, let's cancel the engagement. I'll go invite the wife of Marquis Yongning later." The lady nodded without further hesitation.
Qu Moying raised her head, the corners of her lips curved up, revealing a gentle smile: "Thank you, grandma!"
She was really grateful to the old lady. She felt the warmth of her loved ones from her. She could pretend that her father did not exist. At least she still had a grandmother who was wholeheartedly protecting her. That was enough.
She is truly grateful for having such a grandmother, who brings a little warmth to her heart filled with sorrow and hatred.
“Thank you, Grandma!”
"Go back and rest for a while. There's no need to get up so early to pay your respects to grandma!" the lady said gently.
"Grandma, I'm not tired. I want to go see Qianyueju. I heard it's very beautiful. I've heard the servants in the mansion secretly talk about it before." Qu Moying refused with a smile. How could she go to rest at this time
Seeing the corners of her slightly pale lips curled up and her smile carried a bit of childlike joy, the old lady felt even more sad. This child was the mistress of the mansion, and Qianyue Residence was booked for her a long time ago, but she had never lived there. Instead, Yu Qingmeng was allowed to live there, and she lived there so legitimately. She didn't know where Yu and Yu Qingmeng got the face to do so.
"Go ahead, you can take a look first. If there's anything you don't like, ask someone to change it. After all, this yard will be yours from now on." The lady suppressed her pity and smiled kindly, "If there's anything missing, tell my nanny and ask her to move some decorations from my storeroom."
"No need for grandmother's things. I heard that the second lady decorated her place just like the third sister's. Nothing is different. No need to exchange grandmother's things."
Qu Moying said with a smile.
Yu's things were placed there, so of course she wouldn't let her take them back, and now she was just going to supervise.
Of course, she was not in a hurry to go. She had to wait for the people from Yonghou Mansion to come before she could go. Such a thing happened yesterday, and the lady had sent another notice, so the people from Yongning Marquis Mansion would definitely come quickly.
Didn't Yu Qingmeng pretend to be sick and pitiful? She would help her and make her more pitiful. Xu Lipeng should come with the wife of Yongning Marquis, which would be perfect...
