The door opened.
Qi Xiu Nan's eyes fell on the first girl who came in.
The girl in the light purple dress made her look even slimmer. In fact, she was not just slim, she was really thin, with a palm-sized face, skin as white as jade, and eyes that were pure and could almost see into people's hearts. The light red in the corners of her eyes seemed to pull the fairy from heaven down to the mortal world.
Seeing such a look, even though Qi Xiu Nan was prepared, he couldn't help but be amazed for a moment. But then he remembered that the woman in front of him was the fourth young lady of the Qu family, and a bit of disgust appeared in his amazed eyes.
Although my cousin's appearance is not as exquisite as hers, she looks dignified. Unlike the girl in front of me, who is beautiful but too charming. Such an appearance is a disaster!
No wonder my eldest brother was quite protective when he talked about this Fourth Miss Qu.
The wind blew in the door, making her features more picturesque and vivid. Even though Qi Xiunan disliked Qu Moying, he had to admit that this touch of charm did not make her look vulgar, but only made her more charming.
There is a hint of coquettishness in her beauty, yet she makes people feel as pure as water!
Very different feeling, very contradictory, yet very harmonious!
"Second Young Master Qi?" Qu Moying had already walked over and glanced at Qi Xiu'nan before speaking.
"Miss Qu Si!" Qi Xiu Nan suppressed his emotions and said.
"Second Master Qi, what do you want to talk to me about?" Qu Moying sat down at the host seat and pointed to the guest seat, "Second Master Qi, please take a seat!"
The words were spoken very directly, with almost no euphemism, and the sentences were gentle but distant, which was completely different from what Qi Xiu Nan had imagined.
There was not a trace of flattery, nor a trace of emotion. He looked at Qi Xiunan more like a passerby, a passerby with whom he had no relationship.
This feeling made Qi Xiunan feel very bad, as if there was a huge gap between his imagination and his cognition.
Frowning, Qi Xiu Nan said bluntly, "Could you trouble Miss Qu to go see Grandmother? She has been ill since she left the Qu Mansion yesterday."
Qu Moying was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Second Master Qi, the relationship between our two families doesn't need to be so close. My mother's maiden family is the Jiangnan Yue family, but my mother is already married, so she is no longer considered a member of the Yue family. The Duke of Qi's Mansion has been very good to me for the sake of the Yue family, and there is no need for them to take care of me, a daughter born to a married woman."
Her words were neither humble nor arrogant, and without a trace of emotion, as if she were speaking from the perspective of Duke Qi's Mansion. Her words somehow coincided with Qi Xiu Nan's thoughts.
Is this an attempt to steal my words
Qi Xiu Nan was almost unable to speak for a moment. He raised his eyes and looked into those watery eyes. Those eyes seemed to be able to reflect his feelings.
This made him very unhappy.
He coughed softly and said, "No matter what you think, Fourth Miss Qu, Grandfather and Grandmother want to befriend you wholeheartedly. Whether it's for the sake of the Yue family or for the sake of your mother, Grandfather and Grandmother have done enough. I don't know what is not satisfactory to Fourth Miss Qu. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, please let me know!"
"No matter whether our family can do it or not, as long as Fourth Miss Qu says so, we will do our best to do it, so as not to affect the friendship between the Qi and Yue families for many years because of Fourth Miss Qu. Grandfather is a nostalgic person.
At such an old age, how many lifelong friends are there around you? "
Qi Xiu'nan's words had become extremely impolite, almost like he was asking Qu Moying why he wanted to destroy the friendship between the two governments!
Qu Moying looked at Qi Xiunan deeply, his eyes slightly cold: "Second Master Qi, who told you to say this? Second Master Qi, do you know that what you said means to destroy the friendship between the two houses?"
Qi Xiu Nan was stunned by these words, but then he quickly said, "This is what I really think. Although I just returned to Beijing and don't know much, I can't say that my aunt was completely wrong about what happened back then. If my uncle had been tougher back then, this wouldn't have happened. What happened afterwards has nothing to do with my aunt."
Qi Xiu Nan had always felt that his aunt had the gentlest temperament and that he trusted Madam Liu the most since he was a child.
Now, after hearing so many rumors outside, he was already very angry. After symbolically asking Madam Liu, he felt more and more that this matter could not be blamed on his own aunt. How could his aunt, who was such a gentle person, do such a vicious thing? How could his aunt, who always considered the Duke of Qi's Mansion in everything, kill someone
"Did Second Young Master Qi see it, or do you have evidence?" Qu Moying asked bluntly, with a cold look in his watery eyes. Qi Xiu'nan's heart couldn't help but suffocate at that icy and indifferent look.
But he casually said in annoyance: "Miss Qu Si, do you have any evidence?"
He had killed people on the battlefield before, so how could he be frightened by a little maid
"Yes!" Qu Moying said frankly.
"Yes?" Qi Xiu'nan was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Qu Moying to answer like this. This weak and delicate Fourth Miss Qu, who looked more fragile than any other woman, actually spoke so frankly in every word that even he, a man who always liked to speak directly, felt overwhelmed.
Is she really a delicate and weak girl? Is she really like what my aunt said, deliberately confusing my eldest brother and grandfather, making my grandfather and eldest brother think that she is a pitiful person, so that they will speak up for her in everything
With this attitude, are you really not afraid of offending people? No matter how you look at it, you don't seem to have the slightest intention of getting close to the Duke of Qi's Mansion
Is this how she treats her own grandmother
With this attitude, it’s no wonder that my grandmother fainted from anger!
Thinking of this, Qi Xiu Nan showed annoyance on his face, "Since Miss Qu has evidence, please show it to me."
"I am the evidence!" Qu Moying pointed at himself. No matter why Qi Xiunan came, he had bad intentions.
Now that she was here, she said that she was not from the Duke of Qi's Mansion and did not have so many concerns.
"When I was very young, County Lord Jingyu wanted to kill me when she met me by chance. A few days ago, when the county lord came over, she also said that all this was caused by Aunt Ling. She said that Aunt Ling had always told County Lord Jingyu that it was my mother who stole your uncle and also falsely accused my mother of being unfaithful and giving birth to me."
Qu Moying looked at Qi Xiunan coldly without the slightest hesitation.
“This… this…” Qi Xiu’nan’s face flushed, and she pointed at Qu Moying, but she didn’t know what to say. Is it appropriate for an unmarried woman to say such words in front of a man
"Second Master Qi, is your aunt really innocent? Is it really fake? What is she trying to cover up? Does she really like your uncle? Or why did she say this and do this? My mother was no longer around at that time.
"Does she care so much about a little girl like me? To the point of secretly instigating Jingyu County Lord to take my life?"
Qu Moying didn't wait for Qi Xiunan to say anything else. He asked him questions one by one and put together all the things that Madam Liu had done.
Qi Xiunan was speechless, his face flushed, but he didn't know where to start. Was Qu Moying's words true? Seeing her self-righteous look, he actually felt that it might be true.
If this is true, then what does the aunt want to do? Why can't she even tolerate such a young child, not to mention taking advantage of my cousin
My cousin should not have been very old at that time!
The heart that was originally certain and without the slightest hesitation became uneasy, as if some answer was about to burst out of the heart.
He didn't like this very much. After calming down, he controlled his emotions with a gloomy face: "Miss Qu Si, you are talking about family matters, right? Besides, you were still young at that time!"
"Although he was young, he still remembers it. You can see how frightened he was at that time!" Qu Moying suddenly smiled, with a hint of sarcasm on the corners of her beautiful lips. "Second Young Master, you don't have to say anything. Just ask the old Duke and Madam in your house, and you will know the truth."
"As for me, whether I am right or wrong, everything I said is false before Second Young Master Qi knows the truth."
Qu Moying said.
"I will ask my grandmother and grandfather, but now I would like Miss Qu to come to our house and comfort my grandmother. After all, my grandmother is old. If something really happens to Miss Qu, Miss Qu will be guilty even if she dies a hundred times, right?"
Qi Xiu Nan said sternly.
Qu Moying picked up the teacup in front of him and smashed it to the ground, immediately interrupting Qi Xiunan's voice. Qi Xiunan could hardly believe that it was Qu Moying who threw the cup.
He looked at the ground in astonishment, then raised his head to look at Qu Moying, with an even greater sense of shame and anger in his eyes. This Fourth Miss Qu was really too presumptuous. It turned out that she had no manners since childhood. She actually dared to smash the cup in front of him. This was really... How disgraceful, how disgraceful.
Pointing at Qu Moying, Qi Xiu'nan's lips trembled.
"Second Young Master Qi, no matter what your purpose is, whether you are here to cause trouble or to plot against me, I don't want to get too close to your Duke Qi's Mansion! There is one thing that I am very confused about. Even if our Qu Mansion is not as good as the Duke Qi's Mansion, we are not bullied by others. What right does Second Young Master Qi have to threaten me, and where does he get the confidence to make me die in vain?"
Qu Moying sneered.
Qu Moying's identity now is the future Princess of England, and her wedding is coming up, so Qi Xiu'nan really doesn't have the confidence to say such rude words to Qu Moying.
This is almost like stepping on Qu Zhizhen and Pei Yuanjun's face!
Qu Moying doesn't care about Qu Zhizhen's face, but she won't let anyone step on Pei Yuanjun's face. The Second Young Master Qi in front of her looks honest, but what he said is really too much.
"What are you saying, Miss Fourth Qu? I was just worried about my grandmother, so I spoke a little hastily. If there is anything I said wrong, please forgive me, Miss Fourth Qu." Qi Xiu Nan didn't know how to respond to this, but he knew he was being rude. He held his breath and had to apologize.
Facing the fourth young lady of the Qu family, he never thought that he would be led by her by the nose.
No wonder my aunt told me to be careful and not to act rashly...
