He stood up, bowed deeply to Qu Moying, and raised his head with a serious face: "I did lie about the matter between Fourth Miss Qu and aunt, but grandma is always right! Grandma did nothing wrong, but she wanted to make friends with Fourth Miss Qu to make up for the mistakes she made in the past. Now she is so old, and she fainted because of anger. Fourth Miss Qu should go to visit her even if she considers that grandma has come to visit her several times, right?"
No more talking about Madam Liu, and no more arguing about who is right.
If we look at the facts objectively, since Madam Qi was ill, Qu Moying should indeed go to visit her. Madam Qi came more than once when she was ill before.
Qu Moying looked at Qi Xiunan quietly for a while, and said slowly: "Second Master Qi, please go back. I will come to see Madam Qi."
She didn't want to have too many ties with the Duke of Qi's Mansion. Since the Duke of Qi's Mansion insisted that she come to their house, she would just go and make things clear.
Seeing that she did not refuse this time, Qi Xiu Nan felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face: "Then I'll have to trouble Fourth Miss Qu."
"No problem!" Qu Moying said lightly.
Since they had decided to go to the Duke of Qi's Mansion, Qu Moying went to see the old lady first. After thinking about it, the old lady decided to accompany Qu Moying.
A series of events that happened recently made the old lady feel uneasy about the Duke of Qi's Mansion. As for Madam Liu, in the old lady's mind, it was most likely that Madam Liu was behind the murder of Yu and Xiao Yue.
It's just that there is no real evidence, but that doesn't stop the lady from being wary of Madam Liu.
He was afraid that Madam Liu would harm Qu Moying in Duke Qi's Mansion, so he followed her to take a look.
Qu Moying understood the Dowager's intentions very well, and knew that if she went, the Dowager would certainly follow her. She agreed softly, and went back to rest for a while at the urging of the Dowager, and prepared to go to the Duke of Qi's Mansion soon.
The lady has prepared some gifts, medicinal herbs, and pills prepared by the doctors in the mansion to regulate the health of the elderly.
After everything was ready, the lady asked someone to summon Qu Moying to go over with her.
The carriage went all the way to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. The lady in the carriage held Qu Moying's cold little hand and sighed, "Ying girl, if you don't want to be close to the Duke of Qi's Mansion, then make it clear, so that the two families won't become relatives, but enemies."
There were too many meanings in these words. Qu Moying raised his head and looked at the old grandmother in front of him, and nodded obediently: "Grandma, I know."
During this period, Madam Qi always came to visit the patient, and her behavior was so confusing. Could grandma have guessed something
For other people, it might be hard to guess that my mother had a different background, but my grandmother was not a confused person. There might have been some clues in the past, just like the old Duke’s reaction when I visited him for the first time. Was it my mother’s first visit
As for the current Madam Qi, she makes people feel her mysterious concern for herself!
"Ying girl, no matter what decision you make, grandma will stand on your side. As long as you are fine, everything else can be put aside." The lady sighed again, squeezed Qu Moying's hand, and reminded her again.
"Grandma, I know!" Qu Moying nodded.
The carriage went all the way to the Duke of Qi's Mansion and stopped after entering through the side door.
Qu Moying got off the carriage first, and then helped the lady down.
A maid from the Duke of Qi's mansion had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw them all get off the carriage, she hurried over to greet them, politely and respectfully.
The group went to Madam Qi's yard.
After entering the main house, he was taken into the inner room.
On the bed in the inner room, Madam Qi sat on the bed in surprise, looking at Qu Moying who came in with excitement. Before she spoke, her eyes became red.
Qu Moying stepped forward and saluted.
"Okay... okay, please take a seat!" Madam Qi said quickly.
Qi Xiu Nan at the side asked someone to bring a chair over. There was already a chair placed in front of the bed.
Madam Qu and Qu Moying sat down.
Qu Moying's eyes swept over the set of teacups on the table in front of the bed, and found that one was missing.
It looked like Qi Xiu Nan was sitting in front of the bed drinking tea with Madam Qi just now, but Qu Moying could tell that there was someone here drinking tea with Madam Qi just now, and it was not Qi Xiu Nan.
Qi Xiu Nan should be standing in front of Madam Qi's bed like he is now. As for the other person who can sit down, she is older than him and is a woman. The room has a strong smell of medicine, but there is a faint fragrance at the place where Qu Moying sits.
The scent is very faint and will disappear if you wait a little longer.
It couldn't be the maid in the house. With Madam Qi so ill, which maid would dare to burn incense? As for the person sitting here, he must be a master who Qi Xiu Nan could respect. There might be quite a few female elders standing behind him, but when they saw him appear here, they immediately retreated and even took the teacup away. There should be only one person.
Mrs. Liu.
Only Madam Liu had guessed early on that she would come. Qi Xiu Nan came to invite her, and even if it was just for Madam Qi's visit, she would still come.
Her long eyelashes blinked twice silently, then fell down, and she lowered her head to listen to what Madam Qu and Madam Qi were saying.
With her grandmother around, she only had to sit quietly and her grandmother would block the trouble for her.
Sure enough, no matter what Madam Qi said, Madam Qu responded with a smile and took the initiative to ask about Madam Qi's condition. As for the day when she suddenly fainted in the Qu Mansion, Madam Qu also expressed her apologies.
"I am not in good health. I couldn't handle it for a while. It's also an old problem. The weather may be bad recently. The old problem always comes back."
Madam Qi sighed and leaned back weakly.
Her face looked very bad, her hands and feet were sore, and her whole body had no energy. She felt drowsy and uncomfortable, but she didn't want to rest at this time. She was so happy that Qu Moying could come to see her that her eyes would fall on Qu Moying's face from time to time, with a bit of tenderness and guilt.
This look made Qu Moying very uncomfortable.
She was a cold-hearted person, and she really couldn't get close to the Duke of Qi who had harmed her mother, even if that person was her mother's biological mother!
Since these people are clinging to what happened back then and are unwilling to say anything, and even continue to identify with and like Madam Liu as always, she will not compromise.
These people were said to be my mother's relatives, but in fact they helped Madam Liu pass the knife.
On the one hand, he expressed his guilt towards his mother, but on the other hand, he still held Madam Liu tightly, turning a blind eye to the harm she had done to his mother and himself.
This guilt seemed to be directed towards himself and his mother, but it was also directed towards themselves.
Qu Moying doesn't need this kind of family balance!
And mother, when she needed it most, these real
None of her blood relatives offered a helping hand, and they turned a blind eye to her situation and remained indifferent.
Qi Xiu Nan came here today, of course, not just to visit the patient. Her watery eyes swept across the room again, and finally saw a familiar pot of plants on the south windowsill.
Not surprised, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Outside the window, facing south, the sun shines in and there is no wind. It is a good place to grow flowers. It is winter and it is rare to see a few green plants. Since there are no flowers, looking at the green makes me feel very comfortable.
So, this plant is kept here
When he saw it at the Duke of Qi's Mansion before, Qu Moying was still wondering who brought this plant in, but now there is no doubt that it was Madam Liu.
Now there is more evidence that Madam Liu had early connections with Northern Xinjiang.
This is a flower from the northern border. If people smell it too much, it will make people with weak constitutions even sicker, and their health will get worse and worse, and eventually all medicines will be ineffective.
Because it is a chronic disease, and the death is not caused by poisoning, but only by physical weakness. Often, the original minor illness will break out due to physical weakness, and finally the patient will become terminally ill and die, and the cause of the disease cannot be detected.
It was previously only kept in the mansion, but now it was sent to Madam Qi's window. It can be seen that the target is very clear, which is Madam Qi.
Right now, Madam Qi is still ill, and the most important thing is that it seems that she is ill because of my anger. Madam Qi came to visit me that day, but finally went back unconscious. There is a lot of meaning in this!
Her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she slid across the windowsill once again...
"What does the doctor say?" Mrs. Qu was asking about Mrs. Qi's condition.
"It is said that he is old and weak, thinking too much, and his emotions are too volatile. He is so angry that he gets angry for a moment. It is not a serious problem. It is a disease of the elderly." Madam Qi said indifferently. She said to Madam Qu, and her eyes fell on Qu Moying's face again.
He looked at her with hesitation.
Madam Qu glanced at Madam Qi and finally sighed. She didn't know what to say for a moment. It was obvious that what Madam Qi wanted to say most was to her little granddaughter.
He closed his eyes and pressed his chest with his hand.
"Mrs. Qu, are you feeling a little bored? Do you want to go for a walk outside?" Qi Xiu Nan asked very tactfully.
"This room is indeed a bit stuffy, and it's full of the smell of medicine. I've put a pot of flowers there to help get rid of the smell, but it's not the flowering season now. Xiu Nan, accompany Madam Qu for a walk outside and relax!" Madam Qi said hurriedly.
"Ying girl, I'm going to go for a walk outside. You stay here with Madam Qi." Madam Qu stood up and instructed Qu Moying.
Qu Moying nodded, knowing that her grandmother wanted her to stay and make things clear with Madam Qi.
This is also one of the reasons why she came here today. Everyone has been hiding it until now, and she came here today to expose this topic that the Duke of Qi's Mansion has been covering up.
Since I'm here, of course I have to say something. If I keep being so complacent but don't say anything, people will think that the Qu family and Qu Moying are being too much. It would be better for everyone to lay it out and make it clear. If the Duke of Qi's Mansion maintains the same attitude as before, it would be better for me not to have anything to do with them.
She needs a clear attitude from the Duke of Qi's Mansion...
