Yu Fengyong also went to find Qu Mingcheng, but Qu Mingcheng was also powerless to help. And seeing that among the people serving Qu Mingcheng, there were also Qu Zhizhen's people, Yu Fengyong didn't dare to say anything else. Every time the two of them sat in silence, and after sitting for a while, they had to leave.
There was a huge difference between these days and the days before. Yu Fengyong was very unwilling to accept this. He didn't understand why such a thing happened to his sister, who was the wife of a minister.
He came out of the yamen absent-mindedly. It was lunch time again. He didn't want to look at his colleagues' mocking and gloating eyes anymore, so he found a place to eat outside.
After eating, I went back to work and continued to live a hard life.
Suddenly, a person standing at a small intersection opposite the yamen waved to him. He looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a moment. But seeing the other person waving to him so enthusiastically, Yu Fengyong walked over with his hands behind his back. It was really rare that someone was so enthusiastic towards him.
My feet tightened...
Qu Moying was taking medicine, which was not really medicine but medicated food prepared for her by Nanny Yan. Her health improved a lot, but she still had a slight cough which would not be cured for a while. The doctor from Prince Ying's Palace did not leave but stayed in the guest house in front of Qu's house.
This doctor was a capable person. Not only did he take good care of Qu Moying, he also had new medicine to treat Madam Qu's old illness. She was much better than in previous years. Although it was impossible to cure her completely, her condition was much better than before.
After hearing about the efficacy of this lady, Mrs. Luo also came here specially to seek medical treatment. Therefore, everyone in the Qu family was very satisfied that this doctor from the King of England's Palace lived in their own house.
The medicinal food was modified a little bit based on the original one. It was this doctor who helped Nanny Yan to modify it. Qu Moying used it well, and the taste and effect were very good.
"Miss, someone went to look for Yu's brother, and then Yu's brother followed him out." Yu Dong reported. She had been busy outside these days and had little time to serve in the mansion. She only said that she was helping Qu Moying find better medicinal materials in various pharmacies in the city to treat Qu Moying's body.
"Do you know who he is?" Qu Moying gently wiped his forehead with a handkerchief. He had just finished eating the medicinal food and sweat was breaking out on his forehead.
"I recognized the person. He is the purchasing agent of the Ling Anbo Mansion, Manager Xiao." Yudong smiled.
"Is it the one we checked last time?" Qu Moying tilted his head and thought for a moment before asking.
"Yes, it's that one. What a coincidence. I saw that Manager Xiao knew Lord Yu. He waved and walked over. They seemed to be talking very intimately, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years." Yu Dong smiled. She didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise. She knew at first sight that he was from the Ling Anbo Mansion.
At that time, the lady asked me to investigate this person, but later no major action was taken against him.
"Although I knew him, I was still worried, so I sent someone to keep an eye on him. Sure enough, he returned to the Ling Anbo Mansion. I heard that this steward was demoted because of the last incident. I didn't expect that he is still so valued."
This Manager Xiao also had a hand in Mr. Zhao’s previous affairs, and was later punished by the Xiao family. I heard that he lost his position as the manager and was even kicked out for a while. Unexpectedly, he is being used again now.
"He is a member of the Xiao clan who was driven away. On the surface, he doesn't seem to have much to do with the Xiao clan. If we really investigate, we can use the previous events to prove that he was just a steward who was driven away. That's good, at least Madam Duan's people were not used directly."
Qu Moying smiled slightly and said leisurely, although it seems that Madam Duan is not in power in the Qu Mansion, at least the few people around her can still be protected, that's good.
Of course, Qu Moying did not expect that this matter would have nothing to do with Mrs. Duan in the end. If he investigated further, it would definitely be related to the people around Mrs. Duan. But this is better than a direct relationship. The manager still has a handle in Qu Moying's hands, so this matter will be much easier to handle.
With so many things having happened at that time, the manager surnamed Xiao certainly would not have dared to tell the truth to the Xiao family, otherwise he would not just be driven away.
This is great. I was originally worried that Ji Youran didn't know much, but now I can help push it forward. It's interesting to infiltrate directly. With the previous handle, this manager named Xiao dare not refuse...
"Miss, can this matter be related to Madam Liu?" Yu Dong was still a little bit taboo. Although things were going in the direction that the young lady expected, she always felt that this matter was a little mysterious.
His men investigated again and again, but could not find any direct relationship between this Madam Liu and the Qu family.
"Whether it's related or not is just a matter of a word. If the dying Yu family can do some good, he will naturally agree."
Qu Moying said indifferently.
"Has Yu really given up?" Yu Dong still didn't understand.
"She also has Qu Qiuyan and Qu Mingcheng. These two are her children. She is vicious and cruel to others, but she loves her own children very much. She will always leave the good things to them. If someone promises her something, she will... still agree."
There was a hint of cold smile between Qu Moying's eyebrows.
"Miss, are you saying that she would sacrifice herself for her children?" Yu Dong shook her head hesitantly and said, "I don't think she is someone who would... do such a thing."
"Things have come to this point. Even if she doesn't mean it sincerely, there are ways to make her die without a burial place. This is also the last time she will be a demon."
Qu Moying said slowly that her mother's revenge must be taken eventually. In fact, she would rather do it herself and avenge her mother as soon as possible!
"At a time like this, would she still act like a demon? Would she still be thinking of agreeing to Xiao's request on the one hand, and then having other thoughts on the other hand?"
Yu Dong was shocked. In his opinion, Yu was a dying man. How could a dying man be so troublesome
"It is bound to happen, but the Xiao family may misjudge the Yu family. Ji Youran will not..." Qu Moying whispered. His voice was very light, almost like mumbling to himself, but his eyes were filled with deep sinisterness and hostility.
Compared to the Yu family, Ji Youran is naturally more difficult to deal with.
"Miss, what should we do then?" Yu Dong sensed the crisis in Qu Moying's words and felt an inexplicable chill on his back.
"Just wait and see. If anything happens, use the excuse that I'm sick to push it off, and then see how the situation develops next." Qu Moying couldn't say that she would definitely win now, but this was an opportunity, a very good opportunity. She had the initiative, so she had to take action first.
She also has a better chance of winning than those people, and she will deal with it more carefully, so even if she fails, she will be invincible.
She cannot lose, and she has no way to retreat!
She is more ruthless, right? She is capable of that too!
"Ask the doctor to prescribe a few more doses of medicine, and have the maid in the yard keep boiling them. Don't stop. Ask for some herbs from time to time. Ask Miao Ma to go out with you, and the two of you can go find some together. Sometimes, good herbs are also
It's something you can only encounter by chance. If you don't have enough manpower, take two more maids with you and look for them separately."
Qu Moying gave the instructions one by one. It might not necessarily stop them, but at least it could delay those who had ulterior motives for a while. He could see what they wanted first, and then he could make a better decision on what to do next...
"If the Madam's Office and the First Madam's Office send someone, you guys will be there to help. Just tell them that I'm bedridden and can't get up for the time being. The doctor's advice is to rest well."
This means that no matter who sends the people, they should be kept outside first. If there is really something, they should discuss and come in to report. Health is the most important thing, because this illness also concerns the King of England. For this reason, there are really few people who dare to use her illness to make trouble.
This is also a case of the fox taking advantage of the tiger's might!
A hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes. Since returning home, Pei Yuanjun's affairs have become much more distant.
"How is the prince's injury?" After giving these instructions, Qu Moying couldn't help biting the corner of her lip and asked.
"Don't worry, young lady. The prince's injury is not a big problem. He is now recuperating in the mansion and needs to rest for a while. I heard from Eunuch Ji Hai that he is preparing the betrothal gifts. He said that he will select and send the betrothal gifts to us. The prince wants to advance the marriage with young lady."
Talking about this, Yudong was very happy. Both of them were masters, and now the two masters were about to become a family. It was exciting to think about it.
From now on, no one will use various reasons to control the lady.
"In advance? Shouldn't this kind of thing be done step by step?" Qu Moying really didn't know this. He opened his misty eyes in surprise.
"Originally there was such a rule, but now the prince is injured and the young lady is sick, and they were all harmed by someone. The prince and the young lady were almost in trouble. Moreover, the prince is now seriously injured. The prince means that marriage is a good thing. The young lady has saved the prince many times, and her fate is good for the prince. He needs to have a good time now."
Yu Dong showed a strange smile on his face. When these words came from Eunuch Ji Hai, the corners of his mouth twitched, so... This reason is really powerful, so powerful that it is impossible to refute.
Qu Moying was also shocked by Pei Yuanjun's powerful reason. A blush slowly appeared on her face. This guy is really something!
"How early do we have to arrive?"
"I heard that it should be next spring! Of course, the prince means it to be faster." Yudong answered wisely.
Qu Moying's face flushed even more, but she felt inexplicably happy in her heart. Her fingers unconsciously pinched the handkerchief in her hand, rubbing it twice before she asked again, "According to etiquette, the prince's marriage should be arranged at least until summer. He is too naughty. How could he possibly get ahead of the prince?"
She knew everything about Ji Hanyue's gift-giving ceremony back then.
"The prince's marriage has been brought forward. I heard from Eunuch Ji Hai's people that this marriage should be mentioned in the front. It is said that it is a matter of a concubine. Unlike the principal wife, she cannot be regarded as a real prince's consort." Yu Dong said disapprovingly. She was going to report this matter to the young lady, and the young lady happened to ask about it, so she just told her all at once.
"The Crown Prince didn't want the prince's marriage to catch up with his own, so he said that the status of the Consort was not high enough to be ranked higher. Jingyu County Lady was bent on suppressing the young lady, thinking that she could be high and mighty by getting the position of Crown Princess. In fact, she is really nothing. In the heart of the Crown Prince, there is only the deceased Crown Princess."
