"Moved out?" Yu Chun asked in surprise, and placed the teacup in her hand on the table in front of Qu Moying.
The lady had woken up and seemed to be in good condition, so she asked Qu Moying to go back and rest. When she returned to the yard, she heard what Nanny Zhou had reported.
"They are moving. They said they found a quiet place outside where they can study more peacefully. The mansion is too messy after all. Just now, I saw the second young master's servant packing things."
Qu Mingcheng used to live in the East Palace, but he was the son of the West Palace after all, so he naturally had a courtyard in the West Palace. What he was cleaning up now were some miscellaneous things in the West Palace.
"Why is it so sudden?" Yu Chun glanced at her young lady and found that there was no trace of emotion on her face, as if she had known it would be like this.
"I don't know. I heard that the East Mansion is also packing up and moving out today." Nanny Zhou shook her head. This happened so suddenly that the entire West Mansion was discussing it. She didn't need to ask anything to know some related things. "I heard that the second master specially called the second young master over to give him a lecture. It might be because of the bad study!"
This is what Nanny Zhou guessed.
Qu Moying picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down and asked calmly, "Did anything else happen in the mansion?"
"Yes, the second master was in a bad mood today. He was furious and beat up a servant in the study. Then he sent someone to sell them off. The whole family was sold off."
Nanny Zhou said.
This matter is no small matter. This servant is a servant of a family. Not only him, but also his whole family, were used in the mansion in the past. No matter he or his family members, they made some mistake. Not only him, but also his whole family were sold out.
For the servants in the entire mansion, this matter is more important than the second young master going out to study.
"The servant in the study?" Qu Moying curled his lips with a smile.
"Yes, it was the servant in the study. In the past, the servants in the study were the confidants of the Second Master. Now, no one knows how big a mistake he made to cause such a thing. No one can explain the details. Everyone is just guessing whether this servant was dishonest and stole the Second Master's most important documents."
Nanny Zhou expressed the speculation that most people outside thought was possible.
Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why the Second Master suddenly got so angry.
Stealing the most important official documents meant that this servant was not just an ordinary dishonest person, but a spy sent by the second master's rival. Such a person naturally could not be kept in the mansion. Not only him, but even his entire family might be unsafe. It is understandable that the entire family has been dealt with now.
Qu Moying smiled gently, her eyes were cold under her long eyelashes.
This servant must be the one who had taken action on the pills, or this servant must be someone who had been bribed by Yu a long time ago. Only such a person could have come into contact with the Madame's pills. It was no wonder that the Madame's illness happened so coincidentally before, and it was also so coincidental now.
Nanny Miao had just told her that the old lady was old and exhausted, and it was easy for her old illness to relapse. In the northern border, there were medicinal herbs that could make people dizzy and weak, just like the one she encountered in the Duke of Qi's mansion that day.
The lady is old and frail, and if she feels a little dizzy or uncomfortable, people will think it is a sudden onset of an old illness. Taking a pill of this special medicine will naturally make her condition worse.
Therefore, it will make Taifu
This old disease of a person can be triggered or aggravated if it is secretly controlled by someone.
In this mansion, if there is still someone who can do something to the lady dowager and control the people in the mansion, it must be Yu. When Yu is not here, Qu Qiuyan went to Prince Jing's Mansion. Qu Mingcheng is the most suspected person who can do such a thing, and what's more, he happens to be involved in Luo's affairs.
Even if he looks innocent, with Qu Zhizhen's character, he would never allow his son to get involved, not even a suspicion.
Originally, after this incident really happened, Qu Xuexin was half dead, and the lady might really get into trouble. Who would pay attention to the small details that Qu Mingcheng was involved in? All the faults were on himself, no matter if it was the East Mansion or the West Mansion, all the anger would be taken out on him.
"Miss, it must be the second young master!" Nanny Miao was an knowledgeable person, so she said calmly and affirmatively.
"Yes, it's him!" Qu Moying nodded, her long eyelashes fluttering twice, and a cold smile curved at the corner of her lips, "He just didn't expect that even without evidence, his father would not tolerate him."
As Qu Zhizhen's only son, he is naturally the one Qu Zhizhen cares about the most. Compared with his two daughters, it can be said that the only one Qu Zhizhen cares about is this son.
But even so, Qu Zhizhen did not show any mercy. He handled the matter swiftly and decisively without saying a word, suppressing the matter to the smallest possible extent.
Even Qu Moying had to admire his stepfather's move. Compared with ordinary civil servants, his stepfather's move was much more fierce and direct.
With such fierceness, is he really just an ordinary minister
"Even if it's for studying, being sent out of the mansion to study will cause gossip." Nanny Zhou recalled the rumors in the mansion and said, "People in the mansion say that the second wife has fallen out of favor, and the third lady has now moved to Prince Jing's mansion, and now the second young master has also lost the heart of the second master. They say... they say..."
Nanny Zhou hesitated for a moment when she said this, and glanced at Qu Moying's expression. Seeing that her young lady looked fine, she felt relieved. She had just said these doubtful words casually, but as soon as she said them, she felt that it was a bit inappropriate, because the second master was the fourth young lady's biological father.
"Madame Zhou, tell us what was said!" Qu Moying said with a smile, nonchalantly.
This made Madam Zhou hesitate. She had just slipped up and had not intended to say anything more, but since the young lady asked, she had to speak up. She sighed and said helplessly, "Young lady, these are just my guesses. Please don't take them too seriously. I just said that the second master might marry someone else."
"Marry another?" Qu Moying smiled, "This is a good thing!"
"It's...it's a small matter. If I marry someone else, what will you...what will you do?" Nanny Zhou was a little flustered and said hurriedly, fearing that Qu Moying didn't understand what she meant.
"What does it have to do with me? He married someone else, and it was the Yu family that wanted to divorce him, or it was the Yu family that felt dangerous. As for me..." Qu Moying stood up, walked to the zither platform, stretched out her hand and gently pressed the zither in front of her. Her words were not filled with a trace of worldly air, but extremely cold. "What does it have to do with me? I was originally an abandoned daughter. Could it be any worse?"
The last sentence was extremely cold and indifferent, as if it was talking about someone else's business.
Nanny Zhou's eyes were red, but she couldn't say a word of comfort for a long time.
Isn't it our own young lady? She was originally the most noble daughter in this mansion, but she was abandoned in the manor for so many years, and even her eyes were injured because of Yu.
If you say this was an accident, few people in this mansion would believe it.
According to this statement, it really has nothing to do with the young lady. It has already reached the bottom. Could it be worse
"Miss is right. This matter really has nothing to do with you. Whether it's marrying or divorcing, the one who should be anxious is not you, but the second lady and the second young master. Of course, it may also be the third young lady!" Nanny Miao was much calmer than Nanny Zhou. After thinking about it carefully, she understood the reason and smiled.
But when this smile fell on his young lady, it also carried a bit of pity.
I really don't understand how the second master's eyes were. He didn't even notice the viciousness of Yu's mother and daughter, and mother and son. Such a woman should have been divorced long ago. Why did he keep her for the New Year
She now even hoped that these rumors were true. It would be best if she really divorced Yu and married another woman to see how Yu's children would continue to cause trouble!
"Madame Miao, you continue to keep an eye on Yu and inquire about the previous incident involving the nunnery abbot. Madame Zhou, since everyone in the mansion is spreading this, you should help spread the word. As for whether it is true or not, who knows!" Qu Moying smiled and pressed his fingers on the strings again.
The music is not a song, the sound is not a note, but the strings are moving, and everything is changing. The more changes there are, the more difficult it is to understand.
Isn't this just stirring up trouble
Qu Mingcheng thought that this matter had nothing to do with him. In fact, sometimes no evidence is really needed. The more muddy the water is, the better.
Yu still has people in the mansion, so it must be more than just the servant in the study, that's good...
No one is a fool, not even Qu Zhizhen. Even though he and Qu Zhizhen had a deep brotherly relationship and always followed his brother's lead, this time was different. It was his wife and daughter who almost got into trouble. His daughter almost died...
No one can stand it...
"Are you investigating the matter of the abbot of that nunnery?" A lazy voice came out from the thin lips of the noble man, with a hint of lewdness.
Ji Hai bowed his head respectfully and said, "Yes, I heard that the abbess had a problem, but it has been many years, and it is not that easy to investigate. I am afraid that the fourth lady will not be able to find out for a while."
Miss Qu Si has only a few people on her staff, and investigating these things may require some very old records, which are not something Miss Qu Si can find. The most important responsibility of the secret guards is to protect their masters. It is best to go to the yamen to investigate some old things, but it may not be very convenient.
"Then send someone to check if there is any criminal record." Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows slightly, and the small earrings on his ears flashed in the sun, revealing a bit of charm.
"Yes, I will send someone to check it out right away!" Ji Hai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile! He knew that the prince would definitely help.
"Go investigate the Duke of Qi and the Yue family in the south of the Yangtze River!" Pei Yuanjun said calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in his handsome eyes. The Duke of Qi is really taking too many actions now.
The Qu Mansion and the Duke of Qi Mansion? There is also a Minister Liu Mansion, as well as the Yue family in Jiangnan and the Duke of Qi
Things aren’t all boring in the capital…
"This time when I returned to the capital, I also brought some gifts with me. So I will give Minister Qu a pair of beauties!"
