"Please speak, Your Majesty!" Qu Moying asked.
"I treated you like that before... because... because... I misunderstood what my mother said." Liu Jingyu's face showed a bit of embarrassment, her cheeks flushed, and she clasped her hands together. You can see that she exerted force from time to time, which shows that it was very difficult for her to say these words, but no matter how difficult it was for her to say them, she still said them.
"Mrs. Liu?" Qu Moying asked after a moment of silence.
“It’s my mother. I… I mistakenly thought that Fourth Miss Qu’s biological mother and my father… So, Fourth Miss Qu…” Liu Jingyu’s face flushed red. There were some things that she, an unmarried woman, could not say out loud. But seeing her expression, Qu Moying understood immediately.
"My Lord, do you think my mother has kept secrets from the ladies?" Qu Moying's face darkened. This explained why Liu Jingyu had always been hostile to him and had hurt him when he was young, even though they met by chance that time.
"I... I heard from my mother and thought it was true, but recently I asked her directly about it, and she said... said it was not true." Liu Jingyu stood up and bowed deeply to Qu Moying, "If I have ever let Fourth Miss Qu down in the past, I hope Fourth Miss Qu will forgive me."
Qu Moying would never say the word "forgiveness" lightly. He looked at Liu Jingyu with a cold gaze, and said unceremoniously: "County Lord, these things are all your family's affairs. They have nothing to do with our family, and they have nothing to do with me. It doesn't matter whether you forgive or not!"
She had no right to forgive this "misunderstanding" on behalf of her mother, which sounded relatively acceptable!
Can a simple misunderstanding erase past hurts, past hostility, and past life-and-death struggles
Liu Jingyu didn't expect that even though she had said such humble words to such an extent, Qu Moying could still be so rude. No matter how bad she was, she was still the future Crown Princess, but now she had lowered herself to the dust.
Qu Moying, this bitch!
She gritted her teeth, knowing that she could no longer argue with Qu Moying at this moment. Even if Qu Moying went too far, she could not get angry.
The faint pain on her face made her clearly remember the slap that the prince had given her before. Although no one saw it at that time, she, the crown princess who had not yet entered the Eastern Palace, was now being treated like this. What kind of situation would she be in after marrying in? It would definitely not be good.
She wanted to win the favor of the prince and make peace with Qu Moying no matter what, even if... even if it meant pushing her mother out!
The proposal was made by the prince, but she dared not disobey. On the one hand, it was her mother whom she respected the most, and on the other hand, it was the prince whom she was going to marry.
Liu Jingyu didn't spend much time deciding which one to choose.
Mother, who told her to lie to her? Yes, her mother had been lying to her. This reason was not something she had imagined out of thin air. It was indeed what her mother had always told her. She said that Qu Moying was the daughter of her father and Xiao Yue, and that the relationship between her father and mother was not good because her father had someone outside, and that person was Xiao Yue.
The daughter that her father loved the most was never her, but Qu Moying, the blind daughter of the Qu family.
If Minister Qu had not known that this daughter was born to Xiao Yue and his father, he would never have thrown a newborn daughter into the manor, and let Yu blind her eyes. It is said that Yu had always wanted to attack Qu Moying, and it was his father who sent people to secretly protect Qu Moying...
Every time my mother talked about this, she felt very sad.
The backyard of Minister Liu's mansion has always been clean, and the couple seemed to be in harmony, but in Liu Jingyu's eyes, her father and mother had almost been at loggerheads. She rarely saw her father go to see her mother, and if there was anything, he would ask the steward to come and notify them.
All love is expression.
In this situation, how could she not hate Qu Moying? It was Qu Moying who caused the discord between their family and made her mother sad in the backyard, but she had to put on a forced smile in front of others.
But all of this was actually lies, lies made up by her mother. Liu Jingyu felt as if the sky had turned upside down and was pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
All of this is actually fake!
She had understood it when she asked her father before, but when the prince produced the evidence that her mother had snatched Xiao Yue's marriage and was secretly instigating Yu, Liu Jingyu had completely understood that her mother had really deceived her. The mother whom she respected wholeheartedly actually deceived her!
In this case, she would naturally choose the path given by the prince!
"Miss Qu Si, whether you believe it or not, I really have hated you since I was a child. I despised you and felt that you ruined our family. I felt that your existence would make my father and mother unhappy. So, I... always dealt with you, just wanting you to leave us, but now..."
Liu Jingyu lowered her head and used a handkerchief to wipe away a trace of tears from the corners of her eyes. They were real tears. Thinking about how her mother had lied to her for so many years, she felt so resentful and depressed.
Without waiting for Qu Moying's answer, Liu Jingyu didn't care and continued, "No matter what compensation Miss Qu wants in the future, I will definitely do it as long as I can. I hope Miss Qu will be magnanimous and forgive everything I did before. Even if Miss Qu doesn't understand for the time being, I will try my best to compensate Miss Qu."
After Liu Jingyu finished speaking, he bowed to Qu Moying who was lying on the bed, then wiped his eyes and turned away sadly.
"Miss, what does County Lady Jingyu mean?" Yu Dong blinked and pointed at Liu Jingyu's back. He really didn't understand what she was saying. Was she here to testify against Madam Liu
Did she understand correctly
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding caused by Madam Liu!" Qu Moying said coldly, his eyes were cold and fierce. If it was just a suspicion before, it was certain now.
"This Madam Liu is so vicious!" Yu Dong sneered, "What misunderstanding? It's obvious that she did it on purpose. How could she be so vicious? Not only did she harm the Second Madam, but she also couldn't tolerate the Young Lady. In the final analysis, she was the one who took away everything from the Second Madam. She knew that the Duke of Qi's Mansion would not say anything, so she could only grit her teeth and admit it!"
Yu Dong is Qu Moying's confidant, so he naturally knows Madam Liu's true life experience. This Madam Liu is really more poisonous than a venomous snake. One bite from her not only kills the person, but also brings disaster to three generations, leaving the person without any descendants.
"Miss, is this matter just going to let go like this?" Yu Dong was very dissatisfied. Yu died, and people outside said that Yu had harmed Madam Liu. This was to deliberately confuse people's attention and to lure the young lady over, as if Madam Liu was really innocent.
"It won't pass!" Qu Moying shook her head and gritted her teeth. She would not let her mother die in vain. Hasn't the Duke of Qi's Mansion been whitewashing the peace
Then she would break this peace. Even if her mother couldn't recognize her ancestors, this Madam Liu would not let her have a good life.
.
Besides, why is this Madam Liu so capable? She doesn't think that's the means a woman in the backyard should have, there's something fishy about it.
She will gradually uncover Madam Liu's true face!
Now is the first step. Liu Jingyu's words represent Pei Luoan's intention. In Pei Luoan's view, Madam Liu is now holding back the Prince's Mansion. The current turmoil has been suppressed, but some things, once mentioned, are actually very difficult to completely calm down, especially when the fact that Madam Liu snatched his mother's marriage was easy to investigate.
Pei Luoan is now wary of Madam Liu. When this taboo reaches a certain level, no matter how powerful Madam Liu is, she will not be able to escape death.
She is so clever and will let Madam Liu taste the bitter fruit of this...
Qu Moying also knew that Madam Liu was a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, and it was not easy to deal with her. For so many years, Madam Liu had been able to live a peaceful and noble life. This ability and forbearance were not something that an ordinary woman could do.
"Didn't Madam Qi want to ask me for a favor? It should be related to this Madam Liu, that's good!" Qu Moying sneered.
She saw clearly how Madam Qi looked. She felt guilty, sad, and even had some hidden intentions to please her, but what was the use of all this? Her mother had been dead for so many years, so what was this belated guilt
Moreover, if he really felt guilty towards his mother, shouldn't he pull out the poisonous snake Madam Liu at this time? Even if he couldn't really give his mother an identity, at least Madam Liu had to get retribution.
But what does it matter now... On the one hand, he expressed his desire to compensate himself, and on the other hand, he protected Madam Liu tightly. The matter was already very clear. Other families might have only heard rumors, but the Duke of Qi's Mansion knew the truth!
But they seem to be unable to see all this and just want to cover up the peace.
For a woman who killed his own daughter, was it just because he had developed feelings for her after raising her for so many years, or was it because his own daughter had been raised outside so he had no feelings for her
Of course, the more likely possibility is that it was because of Liu Jingyu's identity. The identity of a crown princess is enough to suppress all the guilt and sadness, isn't it
The Duke of Qi's Mansion acknowledged the matter, but she was unwilling.
Madam Qi's suggestion was very good, she was just waiting for it. Liu Jingyu's words just now were spoken to her alone, which meant that Pei Luoan had really intervened. Pei Luoan didn't like a mother-in-law who could torment her so much, she needed to make this Madam Liu more urgent...
The most terrible thing is the serpent that hides in the dark...
In the backyard of Minister Liu's residence, Madam Liu looked at her daughter with a gloomy expression: "Still no intention of easing up?"
"Mother, Fourth Miss Qu is not very nice to grandma. She doesn't even look at the things grandma sends her." Liu Jingyu said.
"Who is she? She is just the daughter of a mere minister. Does she really think she is a royal consort? Even if she is, so what? My son is the future heir of a country." Madam Liu sneered. The gentle smile on her face in the past has rarely been seen in recent days.
Every time Liu Jingyu saw her, she was almost always angry, cursing Yu Shi, Yu Fengyong, Ji Youran, Xiao Yue Shi, and Qu Moying...
Liu Jingyu barely recognized the mother in front of her. Was this still the gentle and dignified mother she had always been? Was this still the mother she had always admired and loved
