The door of the inner room was pushed open, and standing at the door was the white-haired Duke of Qi. He looked at Qu Moying with tears in his eyes, but he didn't understand why Madam Qi was so absent-minded.
It’s the old Duke!
Qu Moying stood up and bowed deeply to the old Duke.
The old Duke took two quick steps, as if he wanted to help Qu Moying, but in the end his hand dropped down and he said to Qu Moying, "You're welcome, sit down!"
Watching him sit down in front of another chair, Qu Moying also sat down, his eyes still calmly looking at the old Duke.
It is best that the old Duke can come. At least compared with Madam Qi, the old Duke is not so emotional. The cause of this incident is the old Duke. It is also because the old Duke wanted to hide everything and did not dare to have much contact with my mother that this matter ended up with such a tragic ending.
But if Madam Liu hadn't interfered, my mother wouldn't have ended up like this.
It is impossible to say that there is no resentment, but now, Qu Moying is unwilling to act on impulse. The more impulsive he is at a time like this, the more useless it will be, as it will only allow others' schemes to succeed.
She needed to have a calm conversation with the old Duke.
"Old Duke, Madam, I did find out something, but it's not comprehensive. As for some of my evidence, Madam may not believe it..."
Qu Moying said that she had already said some of these things to Madam Qi before, but looking at Madam Qi's expression, she didn't believe it at all.
"I believe it!" The old Duke suddenly interrupted Qu Moying and said solemnly.
Qu Moying was stunned for a moment. She really didn't think that the old Duke would believe what she said. After all, Madam Qi had already made her meaning very clear before.
"I believe your evidence. You can tell me everything later." The old Duke looked at her and knew that she didn't believe it. He felt sad, but he still affirmed it again.
Qu Moying suppressed his emotions and nodded: "Since the old Duke believes it, I might as well say it again later. As for what I found out, please listen to it, old Duke and Madam."
Since he said it calmly, naturally he would not hide anything. Qu Moying knew that he was very angry before and some of his words might have been too much. If he continued to say so, Madam Qi would not believe it and might even make her faint. Then, he would have made Madam Qi faint due to anger.
Madam Liu must have known her previous attitude towards Madam Qi and felt that it was impossible for her to have a good talk with Madam Qi.
"The old Duke knows Madam Liu's identity, and I know it too. As for why I know it and why I am so sure of it, it is because someone told me."
Qu Moying started directly from the most critical point and said.
This is the point where Madam Qi distrusts her the most, but it is also the point where she can best explain everything clearly.
"Who is it?" The Duke of Qi and the Lady Dowager looked at each other and asked anxiously. They really didn't know that anyone else knew about this matter and thought that Qu Moying had half guessed it.
"When the incident happened, there were people around Princess Xian'an who secretly protected her. When Princess Xian'an was locked up, they also wanted to save her. On the day Princess Xian'an gave birth to a child, those people wanted to snatch the child away, so they found someone to temporarily adopt the child. After all, a newborn child is very easy to make a noise and be discovered by others, so it is better to put it somewhere temporarily and let someone adopt it first, and then take the child away when the situation is not serious.
. "
"Later, the adoptive mother was told that she didn't need to adopt the child anymore, saying that the child was fine, and she was told to help the newborn daughter of Duke Qi's mansion if anything happened..."
The nun told everything in detail, and the result was self-evident. What happened was not accidental, but was planned long ago by Princess Xian'an.
The old Duke and Madam Qi felt cold all over. They had guessed many possibilities, but they didn't know that this would be the reason.
If this is really the case, then the old Duke had already been targeted when he went to visit his elder brother and sister-in-law. He had spent so many years thinking that no one knew about this, except for his most trusted attendant.
Give birth to the child, visit it yourself, and then take it away.
Everything seemed to be controlled by a thread, but he knew nothing about it.
"Who is that person and where is he now?" The old Duke asked after letting out a deep breath.
"Old Duke, do you still remember the nun when my mother's affairs were brought up?" Qu Moying asked back. All the affairs were brought up from that time. The matter caused a big fuss and was resolved very quickly, but no one could forget that remote nunnery.
"I know, I checked, it's just a greedy nun." The old Duke nodded.
"She was indeed a greedy nun who killed the old nunnery master who saved her. But she had another identity before. She was also a member of the Duke of Qi's mansion. She took advantage of the chaos to escape. The person sent by the King of Qin to secretly protect Princess Xian'an was contacted by her."
Qu Moying was silent for a moment and then spoke calmly.
"This... this is someone who has been prepared for a long time?" Madam Qi exclaimed, shaking almost uncontrollably.
"If the old Duke wants to see this nun, I can send someone to bring her here!" Qu Moying said calmly, "The King of Qin's secret guards later left the capital and fled to the northern border. After the storm has passed, they will return to the capital and tell Madam Liu the truth. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
As for the rest, Qu Moying didn't want to say anything more. He wanted Duke Qi's Mansion to investigate everything themselves. Only by investigating themselves would they know the truth. Even if the old Duke said he believed him, Madam Qi might not necessarily believe him.
That nun was kept as a chess piece in the beginning. When Pei Yuanjun left the Western Prison, Qu Moying asked him to take the nun away secretly. She was originally a death row prisoner, and no one cared about a person who deserved to die.
Qu Moying's voice was cold and calm, causing the entire room to fall into silence for a moment. After a long while, the old Duke finally exhaled, "Okay, give me that person!"
He had to investigate this matter, and he had to investigate it. From Qu Moying's narration, he discovered another shocking fact. If these were all true, this daughter was not only vicious, but also a great harm to the country.
"Old Duke, Madam, I will not ask about the outcome of this matter. Please do not look for opportunities to come to the Duke of Qi's mansion again. What has passed is past. Mother is at peace now. Please do not disturb someone who has been at peace for a long time. The so-called regrets are for the living, such as me, the Duke and Madam."
The words had been spoken, Qu Moying stood up, bowed to the two of them, and turned to leave.
Madam Qi wanted to reach out and call her, but the old Duke held her hand. The two of them watched Qu Moying leave, their eyes reddened for a moment.
There was really no reason for the two of them to stop Qu Moying.
Not to mention the grace of raising her for so many years, if this was true, they also handed a knife to their daughter's enemy. Thinking that his daughter died at the hands of the person he saved, the old Duke's eyes were filled with tears and he was heartbroken.
If all this is true, what can he use to compensate his daughter? How can he face his daughter
"There's something wrong with Madam's flower. It must be from Northern Xinjiang!" Qu Moying stopped suddenly when he reached the door of the inner room. He turned his head to look at the window and spoke almost to himself, "This flower is not good for people with weak bodies. It will aggravate the condition and eventually kill people."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left without any explanation. She had already delivered her message, so it was up to the Duke of Qi’s Mansion to decide how to handle it!
Even if the truth of the matter is not revealed to the world, Mrs. Liu's good days are over...
"Miss Qu Si?" Qi Xiu'nan stood nervously at the door outside the main room, pacing back and forth uneasily. When he saw Qu Moying coming out, he hurriedly took two steps forward and stopped Qu Moying.
"Second Master Qi, is there anything else?" Qu Moying asked calmly.
"What did Fourth Miss Qu say to my grandmother just now? Why did she make me so sad?" Qi Xiu'nan glared at Qu Moying, veins popping out on his forehead, showing that he was really angry.
He had just found an excuse to leave Madam Qu and turned back. When he came over, he heard his grandmother crying. He wanted to go in, but was stopped by someone, and it was his grandfather's men. He was angry and anxious for a moment, but he could only wait outside.
My aunt said that my grandmother is in poor health and cannot let this Fourth Miss Qu get angry again, otherwise it is hard to say what will happen.
When she heard that someone from the Qu Mansion was coming, my aunt left in a hurry, saying that if she stayed there she might cause Miss Qu to speak even more harshly. She left and asked him to stay here and tell her any news. She must not let my grandmother get hurt.
But now, why did my grandfather come here
Thinking that something had changed, Qi Xiunan hurriedly sent someone to notify his aunt, and he stood outside the door, waiting for Qu Moying to come out.
"Madam Qi is fine. She will be fine if she takes good care of herself." Qu Moying said, stepping aside. "The old Duke is also inside. If Second Young Master Qi wants to know anything, you can go in and ask where my grandmother is. I'd like to trouble Second Young Master Qi to send someone to take me to see my grandmother."
Seeing her like this, Qi Xiu'nan knew he couldn't get anything out of her, so he glared at Qu Moying angrily again. He really didn't like Qu Moying and felt that there was nothing right about the Fourth Miss Qu in front of him. She was not as gentle and kind as his own cousin.
"Miss Qu Si, my grandmother is old. If she is really pissed off by you, even if Miss Qu Si's current status is not ordinary, our family will definitely demand justice from her." Qi Xiu Nan said angrily. Although he no longer said that he wanted Qu Moying to be in trouble, the meaning of his words was still there.
Seeing how he was wholeheartedly protecting the lady inside, with an expression of disgust in his eyes, Qu Moying just felt bored. This man should not only protect the lady inside, but also that good aunt of his that he always talks about, right
Some people have never had a strong relationship with their relatives, I guess I am the one talking about myself!
Fortunately, she doesn’t care that much!
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master, something bad has happened!" A servant stumbled over and fell just as he entered the door, falling in front of Qi Xiu Nan.
