"She has gone to a farm outside the city now. What can I do?" Liu Jingyu said unhappily.
"Go to your grandparents' house again and see what your grandmother's attitude is. Let her come forward and then you can follow her. You have to maintain a good relationship with her. Her current status is not ordinary. Even if it is not comparable to yours, her future seniority will be higher than yours." Mrs. Liu said.
"Mother, grandma is also fed up with me, so why not you..." Liu Jingyu said.
Madam Liu interrupted her impatiently: "Grandmother likes you more than mother. Besides, your current status is not ordinary. Your grandmother is smart and she naturally knows how to choose and which side to help."
Liu Jingyu frowned, feeling that this was true, but also that something seemed wrong.
Obviously, my mother is my grandmother's biological daughter, so why are her words not as effective as mine
"Mother, where did those people from the Northern Frontier come from? Didn't you check everything clearly before letting them into the palace?" Since he couldn't figure it out, Liu Jingyu stopped thinking about it. He was silent for a moment and asked with a heavy heart, especially since two people wanted to follow him into the prince's palace. The prince's previous words did remind Liu Jingyu.
"Those were due to mother's negligence. It won't happen again in the future." Mrs. Liu said.
"Mother, should we check it again and more carefully?" Liu Jingyu suggested. She was really panicked by what Pei Luoan said.
"Mother will investigate this matter, but it's impossible for it to happen again. The people in the Ministry of Justice have investigated it clearly." Madam Liu added.
Liu Jingyu felt that his mother's words sounded perfunctory, but he didn't know where to start for a moment, so he could only look at his mother sullenly.
Originally, she had never doubted her mother, but after being severely reprimanded and threatened by Pei Luoan today, she had to be careful, fearing that there were people from Northern Xinjiang around her mother.
If that is true, then my mother was deceived, and then she deceived me. The prince was right. I have unlimited possibilities in the future and I am about to embark on the road to heaven. I cannot have the slightest mistake at this time.
"Mother, are the people around you really okay?" Liu Jingyu asked again worriedly.
"There's naturally no problem with the people around me. They're all elderly people who have been using the system for a long time. Well, don't worry about it. I'll check it again. Just focus on trying to please your grandmother and taking care of the affairs of the Qu Mansion." Madam Liu said with a frown.
"I still have things to do over there. You should take a rest and then go to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. If you don't let the guy from the Qu Mansion get along with you, many things will be difficult to do in the future." Madam Liu stood up and said meaningfully.
"Yes!" Liu Jingyu originally wanted to say something, but seeing the impatience on his mother's face, he didn't dare to say anything more. He sent her to the gate of the courtyard and watched Madam Liu leave, his brows furrowed even more.
Did they use old people who had been employed for so many years? Among the people from Northern Xinjiang who were found, the two confidants of my mother were not all old people. Until now, Liu Jingyu did not dare to believe that the old servant who had been in his house for so many years would be from Northern Xinjiang.
Was it really just an accident
The mother didn't say anything, and she really didn't dare to ask more.
But why are there so many people from Northern Xinjiang in her house? Are there any more? She still feels uneasy.
"Has father returned home?" Liu Jingyu suddenly asked.
A maid following behind her hurriedly reported: "The master has returned home and has only been back for a short while."
"I'm going to see my father." Liu Jingyu said, and walked slowly towards
Go outside.
The two maids following behind her looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. In the past, the relationship between the young lady and her master was average, and she rarely took the initiative to visit her master.
what is it today
People outside are still speculating about what happened at the coming-of-age ceremony, wondering what the conflict is between the Liu family and Qu Moying, and what grudge the fourth Miss Qu, the daughter of Jingyu County Lord, has. Was it really an accident, or was it intentional
I bumped into someone else's Huasheng and then put the one on my head on top, but something went wrong with that one and it sounded weird.
Not to mention the etiquette of a young lady from an aristocratic family, it is impossible for her to collide with a maid. Even if she did, she should not simply pull out the hairpin on her head and put it back on. Even if the hairpin was more exquisite, she should not do such a thing to deceive the public.
It was really unexpected that some people stood on Liu Jingyu's side, but most people doubted the intentions of the Jingyu County Lord.
Amidst everyone's discussions, Qu Moying was actually living very comfortably in the manor, in the courtyard where she had lived before. After she went to the Qu Mansion, they specially sent someone to renovate the courtyard, which was much better than when she lived there before, and it was no longer leaky.
Nanny Gu came to pick her up, and when she saw that her eyes had recovered, she couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Nanny Gu was old, so Qu Moying left a little maid here to take care of her. It felt like a lifetime ago when they met again, and it was indeed like a lifetime ago.
There are not so many rules in the village and the air is very fresh. Qu Moying can take Yuchun and Yudong for a walk outside. Passers-by who see her will first greet her and then secretly look at her with some curiosity.
In the past, even though Qu Moying lived in the manor, she rarely appeared in public. That yard was a place she seldom stepped out of.
Even though the people in the manor have always lived here, they rarely see the fourth young lady of the Qu family.
The gift from the Duke of Qi's Mansion was delivered the day after Qu Moying arrived at the manor. The gift was still very polite, and it implicitly indicated that the Duke of Qi's Mansion also had a manor nearby. In a few days, Madam Qi might visit the manor and come to see Qu Moying.
In response to this, Qu Moying just gave a vague advice, saying that it was winter, not spring, and it was unlikely that every family would come to the farm for an outing.
But these words seemed useless, and Qu Moying was just being polite.
Sure enough, on the third day after Qu Moying arrived at the manor, the wife of the Duke of Qi came to visit with Liu Jingyu.
Qu Moying invited them into the manor.
The courtyard she lived in before was not big, not as big as the courtyard in Qu Mansion. Its overall scale was incomparable to the courtyards in the capital.
Although it has been renovated before, it is still incomparable.
"You used to... live here?" Madam Qi looked at the house in front of her. It was so simple that she could hardly bear to look at it.
"It was not as good when I lived here before. It has just been repaired. It won't rain lightly inside just because it rains heavily outside." Qu Moying smiled indifferently, "It's very good now."
In winter, the wind blows in from the door. Compared with the capital, the wind here is stronger because the place is more open. It feels like it blows directly into the bones, making you shiver.
"Here...how could we live here before? Can't the Qu Mansion find a better place for you to recuperate?" Madam Qi looked annoyed.
“This is my mother’s dowry farm. I didn’t know about it when I lived here before. Later I heard that
Because it is my mother's dowry, it cannot be touched casually." Qu Moying smiled. This was the explanation given by Yu at that time.
"This is outrageous! Other places can be used and managed, but this one can't? It's obvious that they don't want to repair it. The Yu family is really vicious." Madam Qi was extremely angry. There was a bit of heartache and anger in her eyes when she looked at Qu Moying.
The anger that was caused by Qu Moying's ignorance and causing such an embarrassing situation disappeared immediately after hearing Qu Moying's words.
Liu Jingyu looked at Madam Qi with a serious gaze, and felt more and more uncomfortable.
Before coming here, my grandmother repeatedly told me that she would help me and make Qu Moying reconcile with me. But how come after just sitting down and saying a few words, my grandmother seemed to be on Qu Moying's side? What kind of magical power did Qu Moying have that she could pull my grandmother to stand on her side
"It's all over." Qu Moying smiled, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, her eyes were clear and full of water.
"How come it's all over, but Yu is still alive." Madam Qi was still furious. She felt like she had to do something. She looked around and said, "There are too few furnitures in here. When I return to Beijing, I'll have some delivered. When the weather is good, you can stay here to recuperate and live more comfortably."
"Thank you, Madam. Actually, it's really not necessary. I'm afraid I won't be staying here for much time in the future." Qu Moying declined politely with a smile.
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Qi remembered that Qu Moying was going to marry the King of England. If she went to the ceremony now, she would rarely come to such a remote place in the future.
"Even if you come less often in the future, you still live here now, so you can't be too shabby. Send some of the furniture over first. If you like it, keep it. If you don't, throw it away." Madam Qi waved her hand generously.
"This matter... I really don't need to trouble Madam Qi. I will just stay here for a few days until I recover a little." Qu Moying smiled and refused again.
Madam Qi fell silent, her eyes fell on Qu Moying, revealing a bit of sadness. After a long while, she said, "You don't have to be so distant. For so many years... I didn't know either, otherwise I would not have let you be so lonely and helpless outside... and suffer such a great injustice."
"Madam, it's all in the past. It's really nothing." Qu Moying continued to smile, his expression indifferent, "Madam, you are old, you should be more careful. Why did you suddenly come to the manor? It's not the season for sightseeing, and the wind is strong here."
Madam Qi looked at Liu Jingyu and sighed softly: "Miss Qu Si may have guessed that I came here for Jingyu and Miss Qu Si."
"Please speak, Madam." Qu Moying smiled coldly.
"Jingyu really didn't know about what happened before. She was afraid that I would scold her, so she took off the hairpin on her head. I didn't expect it to be related to Northern Frontier. She was harmed by someone, and she accidentally implicated you. This matter is all my fault. I shouldn't have insisted on making a set of clothes for you at that time."
Madam Qi took all the blame on herself.
Liu Jingyu raised his eyes to look at Qu Moying, his eyes were extremely sincere, and he stood up to salute Qu Moying: "Fourth Miss Qu, this matter is really all my fault. I didn't do it well and made Fourth Miss Qu feel wronged. No matter what request Fourth Miss Qu makes, it is all acceptable."
This was a show of weakness and a way to seek peace, but if Qu Moying wanted to seek peace, he would not have left the Qu Mansion in the capital...
