Qu Moying didn't say anything this time. He just looked at the servant deeply, turned around and left with Yudong.
Looking at Qu Moying's back, the servant was terrified. He looked around and saw that no one was noticing him, so he trotted towards the East Palace.
This letter is to the eldest lady.
"Miss, who is the letter for? Is it written by the second young master?" After walking for a while, Yu Dong asked in a low voice.
He had seen the letter, and I believe the young lady had seen it too. The servant's behavior was so abnormal that even she, who had not paid attention to it at first, began to notice it.
"It wasn't written by my second brother. There's no one in the mansion he needs to write a letter to." Qu Moying shook his head affirmatively.
It is impossible for his adoptive father not to know what happened just now. Qu Mingcheng has to study until the Spring Examination, which is Qu Zhizhen's punishment. The so-called concentrating on studying and not allowing him to return home means that he will not be allowed to come back during this Spring Festival.
At this time, Qu Mingcheng could not have written a letter to Qu Zhizhen, let alone to the lady. Even if there was something wrong, he would just have asked someone to pass on the message.
As for the East Mansion, with the Luo family being in this state now, she would not listen to anything that had nothing to do with Qu Xuexin. As for Qu Minghui, if Qu Mingcheng had something to say, he could just send someone to talk to him privately, but that was even more impossible for his uncle.
"Is that the eldest lady's... letter?" Yu Dong immediately thought of another possibility and his face changed slightly.
"It should be... It's her letter for help." Qu Moying said lightly.
"A letter asking for help?" Yu Dong didn't react this time. After all, he didn't know Ji Youran as well as Qu Moying did. "Why is it a letter asking for help? Could it be that someone wants to kill her?"
"After what happened to Concubine Ji, how could we let her go!" Qu Moying said indifferently.
"Concubine Ji won't really want her life, right?" Yu Dong took a breath of cold air. No matter what faults the eldest lady had, she was still the eldest lady of the Censor's Mansion.
"So what if they want it? It's just smallpox, so it doesn't matter if one dies." Qu Moying curled her lips. Qu Xuexin bumped into the Prince's East Palace and indirectly plotted against Ji Youran. How could Ji Youran let her go easily? "But she won't die. It will make her worse than death."
"What will happen?" Yudong's heart skipped a beat and he asked subconsciously.
"Maybe something unexpected happened! We can't let her get away with it." Qu Moying said indifferently. Ji Youran was a vicious person. Killing Qu Xuexin would certainly feel good for a while, but making her be trampled underfoot forever, even if she entered the prince's East Palace, she would never have the chance to be favored. Wouldn't that be more venting
"So... So the young lady sent someone out to ask for help?" Yu Dong understood.
"The purpose of asking for help should be to make the eldest sister mistakenly believe that her life is in danger, so that the Qu family sends people to rescue her, and then something irreversible happens. It will not be the fault of Concubine Ji. Even if the prince investigates the matter in the future, it will have nothing to do with her." Qu Moying said indifferently.
She is now completely a situation-oriented person. In her eyes, no matter whether it is Ji Youran or Qu Xuexin, they are both two poisonous snakes, and it's just a trick of you bite me and I bite you.
"We don't need to interfere in this matter. If we find anything else, just let them go." Qu Moying instructed Yu Dong.
It was obvious that Qu Xuexin could not defeat Ji Youran, but what did this have to do with her? When Qu Xuexin and Qu Mingcheng were plotting against her, they did not leave a way out for herself.
Qu Moying still respected the Luo family, but after this incident, the relationship between the two families could no longer be the same as before, and there was some grudge.
I asked Qu Minghui to pick me up before, but Qu Minghui was never found. I almost got into trouble when I was going down the mountain, and Dongfu never came to explain.
"Will the Madam... go and save the Miss?" Yu Dong quickly glanced at Qu Moying and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, after seeing Qu Xuexin's letter, I will also want to save my elder sister. But it's useless. Something bad will definitely happen in the end." Qu Moying said softly.
Although Qu Xue Xin was vicious, she was still not good enough to treat Ji Youran last year.
It's not that she isn't vicious enough, it's just that the status of the two people is so different. What Ji Youran can do, Qu Xuexin can't.
Qu Xuexin wholeheartedly thought that Pei Luoan had taken a fancy to her, but in fact, what he had taken a fancy to that day was just a sachet. She thought that the sachet belonged to Ji Hanyue, so she asked more questions.
He had done it before, and Qu Xuexin followed his example and did it too. As for the others, the status of the Qu Mansion was too low, so Pei Luoan didn't take it too seriously. He had kept Qu Xuexin before, probably because he didn't mind having one more woman in the mansion. Now that Qu Xuexin had run into him herself.
Pei Luoan really accepts everyone who comes to him now! There was a hint of mockery in his watery eyes. No matter whether it was fragrant or smelly, Pei Luoan would accept it now, even if it was just a small help.
Being hungry, one will eat anything. This describes his current situation.
This matter has nothing to do with her now. What happened to Qu Xuexin was all her own fault. What she needs to do now is to try her best to prevent Xifu from getting involved with Qu Xuexin's affairs.
It’s hard to say what kind of person my aunt is…
At the intersection, Qu Moying met Qu Zhizhen who hurried out, and stood aside to salute Qu Zhizhen.
Qu Zhizhen stopped and asked: "His Royal Highness the King of England has left?"
"He's gone!" Qu Moying said respectfully with his head down.
"Don't be afraid, the King of England won't do anything to you. He just wants to see your looks this time. Not everyone can become the King of England's concubine." Qu Zhizhen was afraid that she would get angry and embarrassed, so he explained.
"Yes, father!" Qu Moying said lightly, still with his head lowered.
There was a pause, Qu Zhizhen coughed softly, and then comforted her, "You just sent His Royal Highness the King out, and people outside must be spreading the news now. Your status has been determined, and no one will talk about your marriage from now on. I, your father, will go to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion now to avoid being entangled by the Yongning Marquis' Mansion in the future."
These words were spoken as if it were a great reward. Qu Moying sneered in her heart. Fortunately, she had never had any expectations of Qu Zhizhen. Now she only felt a strong sense of ridicule.
"Thank you, father!" Qu Moying said.
"Go back and accompany your grandmother and comfort her. The King of England has reason to do this. After all, your reputation has not been very good. Even if you are the concubine of the King of England, your appearance cannot be worse than that of other concubines." Qu Zhizhen's words served as another explanation.
"Father, your daughter understands." Qu Moying said softly.
Seeing that Qu Moying was so obedient and had no intention of disobeying him, Qu Zhizhen's smile became even gentler. He looked Qu Moying up and down and said, "Your clothes are a bit old. Ask your grandmother to make you a few more sets. Because of Yu's matter, you have been treated poorly in the past."
"Father, this is not your fault." Qu Moying said softly.
"Although it was Yu's fault, it was also my fault. I thought Yu was a good person and entrusted all the affairs of the mansion to her. From what she said, I thought you really hadn't made any progress and didn't want to get close to the relatives in the mansion. Besides, living in the manor would be good for your eye disease, so I let you live in the manor. I didn't expect that it was Yu who... fooled me."
The expression on Qu Zhizhen's face was full of regret, hatred and anger.
"Father, it's all in the past. In my heart, you have always cared about me." Qu Moying said. Her voice was calm and gentle, just like an ordinary young lady from a noble family.
"I'm sorry for you." Qu Zhizhen sighed, paused for a moment, and continued, "I'm sorry for your mother too. In the future... when I'm in the underworld, I will explain to your mother and atone for my sins to her."
"Father..." Qu Moying's voice was a little choked.
"Good boy, it's all your fault." Qu Zhizhen reached out and patted Qu Moying's shoulder gently, "It won't happen again, there won't be such a thing again, your father... will compensate you, and will never let you have a bad life. Even if it's His Majesty the King of England, your father will back you up with all his strength."
These words were spoken with sincerity, as if Qu Zhizhen would really stand up for Qu Moying if Pei Yuanjun made things difficult for her.
"Thank you, father." Qu Moying said gently, but only she knew that there was a malicious sneer flashing in her eyes. Everyone can say nice words, especially after Pei Yuanjun came just now. This adopted father was indeed different. In this situation, he could still show an expression of deep affection and deep regret.
"I'm your father, why are you thanking me? Well, go and accompany your grandmother. I'll go and deal with the affairs of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion." Qu Zhizhen sighed and looked at Qu Moying with a sad look, "You look so much like your mother... Seeing you... It's like seeing her."
This time Qu Moying didn't say anything, and it was obvious that she was very sad. Qu Zhizhen sighed deeply again, turned around and walked out with his men.
Qu Moying raised her head and looked at Qu Zhizhen's back. The corners of her lips curled up silently, and her eyes were cold. She had actually always been very curious about what this stepfather wanted.
For his wife, for his son, for his children, for his family, until now she still can't figure out what Qu Zhizhen cares about most
But one thing is certain, this person is now playing the sympathy card for himself, and he is playing the sympathy card with all his might, and it seems that it is because of Pei Yuanjun.
Turning around, she went to the lady's place. Calculating the time, her aunt should have received her eldest sister's letter for help by now. If she was in trouble, she might come to her grandmother. She didn't want her aunt's matter to involve her grandmother. No matter what the final result was, as long as her grandmother was involved, her aunt would definitely blame her grandmother in the end.
When something goes wrong, many people think it is someone else’s fault, someone else’s negligence, or someone else’s fault, and they find all kinds of excuses to excuse themselves…
After returning to the Madam, she briefly explained what happened outside, and also told her what Qu Zhizhen had just said to her. The Madam was still worried, and when she was giving instructions to Qu Moying, a maid hurried in: "Madam, the eldest lady is here!"
Qu Moying's hand holding the handkerchief tightened a little, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes...
