The yard is very big, twice or three times the size of the yards I had seen on the road before.
Such a large yard is located in a corner at the back, which is definitely a deliberate design.
That is to say, before Madam Liu got married, she had planned to build this courtyard like this. The residence is both quiet and remote, but it still has the aura of a mistress of the house.
If someone else lived in such a remote large courtyard, Qu Moying would also feel it was strange, but would not think too much about it. However, this Madam Liu would not allow Qu Moying to not think too much.
What other advantages does a yard like this have, besides being big and remote
"Miss Qu Si, please come in!" A maid came out after hearing the news, and bowed respectfully when she saw Qu Moying.
Qu Moying nodded and followed the old woman inside. The old woman who had followed her stepped aside and did not follow her in. She politely stood outside the courtyard gate and waited for her to come out.
The movements are skillful and very disciplined, which shows that this has been done more than once!
The old woman welcomed Qu Moying into the inner room and saw Madam Liu lying on the bed.
She lay there quietly, looking very peaceful, with her hands folded on her chest. Even when she was asleep, she was very polite.
Her beautiful face was pale, without a trace of blood, revealing a sense of fragility. She was in her thirties, with a gentle and kind expression. She was a woman that made people feel somewhat favorable at first sight.
Hearing the noise, Madam Liu opened her eyes and looked at Qu Moying in a daze for a few seconds. She seemed to recognize her and asked someone to help her up and put her back against a thick cushion.
"Miss Qu Si wants to see me?" Madam Liu asked in a low voice, getting straight to the point, and then asked the maid to bring a chair over, "Miss Qu Si, please sit down!"
Qu Moying sat down, his eyes falling on Madam Liu's face again, with an unclear meaning.
Madam Liu was not in a hurry. She just looked back at her quietly, and then sighed leisurely: "I didn't expect that after so many years, I couldn't make up for the mistakes I made back then, but I can see that the daughter of my old man has become so outstanding. Fourth Miss Qu, what happened back then was really my fault. I shouldn't have robbed your mother of her marriage, and in the end, I didn't end up well!"
Having said that, she showed a bitter smile on her face and lowered her head.
"Everything is karma, it's just as it is!"
"Madam, do you believe in retribution?" Qu Moying asked.
This was said abruptly, and it was not the beginning that Madam Liu had thought possible before, but she reacted very quickly and nodded: "I didn't believe it before, but now I do. For so many years, I have always felt guilty towards your mother and you, and I dare not pay attention to the affairs of your family. I just hope that everything can pass and everyone is fine."
"Fine? So you told Lady Jingyu that I was born with a flaw?" Qu Moying looked at Madam Liu with cold eyes.
"Actually, that happened a long time ago. Jingyu's father and I had an argument and he said that in anger. Since then, he has been at odds with him. Jingyu was still young, so I could only use this excuse to get over it." Madam Liu continued, her eyes full of regret. "Later, I found out that Jingyu had been treating Fourth Miss Qu badly because of this reason."
"Mrs. Liu has so many reasons, but no matter how many reasons there are, they are not as true as that one reason!" Qu Moying did not intend to beat around the bush this time.
"What's the reason?" Mrs. Liu
She was stunned. She really didn’t expect that Qu Moying didn’t give her a clue.
"Madam Liu stole my mother's position and was afraid that she would be discovered. She would not allow my mother to stay in the world and would destroy everything she had. This is the real and only reason, right?"
Qu Moying clenched his hands under his sleeves, and then slowly relaxed them. He originally thought that these words would be difficult to say, but he did not expect that they would come out surprisingly smoothly.
The anger in his eyes turned into an icy murderous aura that gathered at the bottom of his eyes, cold and mysterious.
Madam Liu was shocked, not only by Qu Moying's words, but also by the look in his eyes at that moment. She subconsciously grasped the corner of the quilt in front of her, her face turning pale and blue.
She never expected that Qu Moying would directly tear off this thin veil, and her eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly.
When she was sent back, she guessed that Qu Sixiao must have known the truth of the matter and told it to his father and mother.
But so what? It wasn't her who did this in the first place!
If this is really exposed, the entire Duke of Qi's Mansion will not be well served and will have to endure the Emperor's wrath, which is something the Duke of Qi's Mansion cannot bear.
With my mother's personality, she would definitely cover up all of this carefully and would never let anyone reveal the truth.
As for my father, if he hadn't been so reserved, he would have told me the truth long ago.
It can be seen that although the Duke of Qi's Mansion is annoyed with me, they will still maintain this friendliness before the truth is revealed. There will be some explanation for everything.
Just like Liu Borui and himself, even if Liu Borui doesn't like himself, he still has to maintain the dignity of the Liu family outside and show his deep love for himself. Even if this deep love is not for himself, he has always expressed it. In the eyes of outsiders, he is decent and noble.
She also got a good husband and gave birth to a good daughter.
As for the others, her original target was not Liu Borui, so none of them mattered!
"Madam Liu is the daughter of King Qin and the descendant of Princess Xian'an. In fact, she is my mother's cousin. But in the end, she snatched my mother's position. Madam Liu, don't you think the reasons you just gave are ridiculous?" Qu Moying continued to stare at Madam Liu and spoke word by word.
Madam Liu moved, waking up from her shock. Since she had been exposed, she stopped pretending, leaned back, and laughed sarcastically, "Fourth Miss Qu, are you here to tear your face off today? Are you going to tear your face off with the Shangshu Mansion and the Duke of Qi Mansion? Does His Royal Highness the King of England know about this?"
She felt that she had overestimated this Fourth Miss Qu before. After all, she was a naive person. None of the adults dared to tear it apart directly. Everyone knew that they couldn't do it. Did a little girl like her really think that she could tear it apart and deal with it all
After all, I am too young and ignorant!
However, this is easy to deal with! I believe that as long as she reminds her of the King of England, this Fourth Miss Qu will not dare to make trouble again. Not only will she not dare to make trouble, but she will have to stay away from her in the future.
Of course, this is still not enough. Only the dead can keep secrets. Her life experience is a secret that she must keep. Qu Moying must also die, and everyone who knows about this must die.
"Madam Liu, do you think the Crown Prince would like to know about this?" Qu Moying suddenly smiled.
"Your Highness will not be willing to
"I know, but even if I know, what does it matter? Does His Royal Highness want his mother-in-law to be doubted? The prince is of noble status, and Jingyu is about to marry into the East Palace. The Queen and the prince will not let anyone destroy all this."
Madam Liu looked at Qu Moying and her voice slowed down but she was not alarmed.
She was warning Qu Moying that if she dared to say it, she would be doomed to failure. Anyone facing the Crown Prince and the Queen would be at a disadvantage.
Even if this woman were to marry the King of England, so what? It was just a coincidence that she saved the King of England. Also, it was said that she had a good fate and the King of England was very satisfied. As for other kinds of affection, it was really impossible for her to have any.
Even if she was stunningly beautiful, she heard that the King of England didn't like women with a gentle and charming look. A woman with a gentle and charming look was a little vulgar, and no matter how delicate and outstanding she was, she was just a plaything. If the King of England really liked Qu Moying, Madam Liu didn't believe it.
This is the conclusion she came to from her investigation and her experience.
An appearance as elegant and graceful as my daughter's is what is praised by everyone in the capital. The most outstanding person with this kind of appearance is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion back then. Unfortunately, this once most beautiful woman is no longer with us.
Madam Liu, who knew a little more than others, confirmed that the King of England at that time had fallen in love with the eldest daughter of the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion, otherwise she would not have stayed celibate for so many years after the person passed away.
But this young lady's appearance is completely different from Qu Moying's.
The Fourth Miss Qu who had made her wary before was just a young and inexperienced person. She was too young to be of any use and she didn't have any backing.
"So what about the prince's Yue family? Isn't the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion in decline now?" Qu Moying said calmly. Others didn't dare to say this, but she dared to say it. "If there is another Yue family like the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion, the prince won't think it's a big deal, right?"
If this were said to an ordinary person, Qu Moying would think that her words were extremely outrageous, but she guessed that Madam Liu was not an ordinary person!
Sure enough, Mrs. Liu's face changed drastically, her hand on the quilt trembled, and horror flashed in her eyes, but she quickly restrained herself.
Qu Moying had been observing Madam Liu's movements. Seeing her being so shaken, her long eyelashes fluttered twice and her eyes narrowed slightly. She guessed some things, but not so much.
It turns out that Madam Liu was involved in Ji Hanyue's affairs, and a lot of things were involved!
It was originally just a trick, but I didn't expect so much to be revealed.
Liu Jingyu's marriage to Pei Luoan turned out to be more than what he saw on the surface.
"Miss Fourth Qu, what you said is truly outrageous." Madam Liu calmed down and scolded with a sneer. Her expression was no longer gentle but she still forced herself to remain calm.
"Madam Liu can go and talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter directly." Qu Moying said calmly, "Madam Liu really thinks that she can control everything in the Eastern Palace just by marrying into it, and even the entire dynasty in the future?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Liu was shocked and her face changed immediately.
"Madam Liu, what do you think will happen if I go to the East Palace now and reveal the truth of this matter? What will happen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Will he save County Lord Quanyu, or... destroy him?" Qu Moying said the last two words very softly, but inexplicably, they carried a bit of a weird and sinister meaning...
