Zhu Yan'er didn't expect Yu Dong to remember her and even exposed her identity. Fortunately, she reacted quickly. After a little panic, she immediately asked with a smile, "Which family are you from?"
"I am from the Qu Mansion, Miss Zhu, please come in." Yu Dong moved aside and stretched out her hand to lead her into the private room.
Zhu Yan'er was now in a dilemma and had to pretend to be a bit confused as she walked into the private room, as if she really hadn't done it on purpose. She had originally just wanted to cause some trouble and now she had gotten herself involved.
The maid Yudong was recognized by the people around her just now.
Her appearance had a bit of the natural innocence of a young girl, which made it easy for people to like her. Although some people were skeptical, there were also some people who immediately believed that she was really innocent.
It's just that the maid under his command is spoiled.
A bad maid brings trouble to her master, and this has strangely created a rumor in everyone's mouths. When talking about Miss Zhu, she is the one that everyone feels pity for.
If there is such a maid around, she will definitely think that her master is arrogant. What is the point of keeping such a maid around
Some shook their heads, some sighed, and some felt that Miss Zhu must have been deceived.
In the private room, Qu Moying sat there quietly, with her veil off. Her beautiful appearance shocked Zhu Yan'er, who had just entered, and she stopped in her tracks. She tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand. The envy and jealousy at this moment almost burst through her chest, and she could not suppress it. All kinds of emotions that were out of control rolled in her eyes.
Actually...it's really her
Even though she seemed unfamiliar at first sight, but upon closer inspection, the faint red in the corners of her eyes, and her pure and charming look, made Zhu Yan'er recognize her as Miss Qu Si at first glance.
He turned around and was about to leave almost subconsciously.
"Ms. Zhu." Qu Moying had already stood up.
"Miss Qu Si?" Zhu Yan'er calmed herself down, let out a long breath, and when she looked back, she had a cute face with a hint of innocence again.
"That's right, Miss Zhu, please take a seat." Qu Moying smiled.
Zhu Yan'er walked over and sat down opposite Qu Moying. "I didn't expect that after Miss Qu took off her veil, she would be so... beautiful."
She looked at Qu Moying a few more times with curiosity, with a bit of coquettishness.
"Those rumors out there are really all false. Fourth Miss Qu should take off her veil as soon as possible."
"My eye disease hasn't healed yet." Qu Moying saw all her actions. He smiled and answered softly.
"Is it really healed now?" Zhu Yan asked curiously, "Is it all right from now on? Can I keep my veil off?"
"It should be fine now." Qu Moying nodded with a smile.
"That's good, that's good!" Zhu Yan'er said with a smile, but her words sounded a little dry.
"Miss Zhu, do you like those accessories that have not been put on the shelves yet?" Qu Moying saw it and continued to ask calmly.
"I'm sorry to make Miss Qu Si laugh. The maid is ignorant and caused such a thing. I just said something extra. When your clerk passed by, he thought these goods were very good and new. I didn't expect the maid to take it seriously and even provoked the maid next to Miss Qu Si."
Zhu Yan'er smiled bitterly and sighed, then turned to look at the maid beside her and said in a low voice, "Why don't you apologize to Miss Qu Si?"
The maid beside her hurried forward and said timidly, "Miss Qu Si, I was rude just now. I misunderstood what our young lady said."
"This maid acted on her own and made such a big joke. If Miss Qu wants to punish her, just do so." Zhu Yan'er said again.
This means that he is willing to accept any beating or punishment and has a very good attitude. If it weren't for the fierce commotion outside just now, Qu Moying almost thought it was just a misunderstanding.
A loyal maidservant, upon hearing her master's sigh, immediately caused a stir; but in fact her master knew nothing about it!
Qu Moying sneered in her heart. She didn't believe that a maid would dare to do this without the support of her master. But she didn't think there was any connection between her and Miss Zhu.
The two had only met once before, and that was when she was with King Wei. She always felt that Miss Zhu's reaction today was very strange, so strange that it made people feel that she wanted to embarrass her, but didn't really want to see her. There was guilt, nervousness, and a hint of resentment and jealousy in her eyes.
Is it because of my appearance
Qu Moying didn’t think that her appearance could trigger so many emotions in her. In fact, the two of them were just strangers, weren’t they
"Miss Zhu, you are too polite. This maid should be punished by Miss Zhu herself. I am a lady of the Qu Mansion. I cannot interfere with the maids of the Zhu Mansion. This is not good." Qu Moying said lightly. She did not want to watch Miss Zhu's show. She raised her eyes and looked at the door. "Miss Zhu came here alone today. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei accompanied her."
"Yes, cousin!" Zhu Yan'er stood up suddenly as if she had been reminded. "Since Miss Qu didn't punish her, I will definitely punish her severely when I return. But I can't keep her now. My cousin is still waiting for me outside. I'll come and reminisce with Miss Qu next time I have a chance."
As she spoke, she lifted the hem of her skirt and slightly leaned towards Qu Moying as a greeting, then hurriedly left the private room with her maid.
Her footsteps were hurried, as if someone was chasing her.
Qu Moying looked at her back in surprise and frowned. Zhu Yaner's behavior was very strange, but she didn't know the reason for a moment. Since she didn't want to see her, why bother making trouble
"Miss, the Prince of Wei has arrived." Yu Dong saw from the window that the carriage had stopped in front of Yueyi Pavilion, and it was the Prince of Wei who got off, and he said in a low voice.
Qu Moying's watery eyes fell on the window, and when she looked down, she happened to see Zhu Yan'er coming out. Seeing Pei Qingmin, she hurried forward to salute. After the salute, the two seemed to say something. Pei Qingmin raised his head and looked up, not knowing what he saw. Then he retracted his gaze, nodded, and got back into the carriage.
Behind him, Zhu Yaner's carriage also came over, and Zhu Yaner also got on the carriage.
The two carriages left one after the other in a low-key manner.
From the upper window, Qu Moying looked at the two carriages leaving thoughtfully. Zhu Yaner seemed very strange today, which was really suspicious!
He seemed to want to see him before, but then he seemed not to want to see him at all. He didn't even complain and just led the King of Wei away.
She looked as if she was afraid that the King of Wei would see her...
As soon as she got on the carriage, Zhu Yaner's face turned ugly.
"Miss." The maid called her timidly.
"Is it her?" Zhu Yan'er gritted her teeth, her face full of jealousy.
"Of course it is. I didn't dare to look at Fourth Miss Qu for too long just now." said the maid.
"It's indeed her. If she had taken off her veil earlier, I would have recognized her long ago. The red color in the corner of her eyes has not disappeared after all these years." Zhu Yan'er gritted her teeth, and her fingers trembled slightly. She had been lobbying her cousin before, saying that the red color in the corner of the eyes was there when she was young, but not necessarily when she grew up. It might have faded and can't be seen clearly, which is also very likely.
It looks a lot lighter now, but if you look closely, you can still see it.
Moreover, this light shade of red actually made her eyes look charming and naturally seductive, making her already beautiful appearance even more stunning.
She... is not dead
She had been sending people to investigate that place, and when she found out that the place was not far from the Qu family's farm, she became interested in it. When she saw the Fourth Miss Qu before, she also observed her carefully, but she was wearing a veil that covered her face, so she couldn't see her true appearance.
Besides, people outside said that she was ugly and disgraced, but Zhu Yan'er didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly... it turned out to be her.
She couldn't let her cousin see it, or rather, she couldn't let her cousin see it before she got married. Her heart was pounding. It was said that the fourth young lady of the Qu family had recovered from her eye disease and was very beautiful. When she recognized Yu Dong just now, she came here with some malice to cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, she felt very nervous when she really saw the person, because she recognized Qu Moying as the girl she met when she was a child at a glance.
After so many years, Zhu Yan'er's memory of that girl almost no longer exists. She only knows that she was a pretty girl, but as for the rest, she has no idea.
But when she saw Qu Moying for the first time when she entered the private room, her childhood memories suddenly rushed up, making her realize clearly that Qu Moying was the girl her cousin had been looking for for many years.
If I can recognize Qu Moying, then my cousin can too!
This... is absolutely not allowed!
"Miss, do you want to see the woman you found earlier?" Seeing that she remained silent and did not continue, the maid asked anxiously.
"No, I don't want women like this anymore. I want women with shallow red marks at the corners of their eyes." Zhu Yan'er said irritably.
She also thought that the red marks had disappeared before. It was normal for such light red marks to disappear when one was young and grew up, but now Qu Moying was still there!
"Miss, this... I have never seen any of them." The maid lowered her head.
"If you can't find one, then go look for it. There's only one with reddish-red eyes, darker or lighter, it doesn't matter. If you can't find the same one, there should be similar ones." Zhu Yan'er gritted her teeth and said. The best way is to find a few similar ones. After seeing them too many times, her cousin will not believe it so much, and when he sees Qu Moying again, he won't be so shocked.
"Not just those in the capital, but also those in faraway places, even those who have just arrived in Beijing." Zhu Yan'er thought about it and added, if the scope is expanded, the possibility of finding similar people will be greater, there must be one or two! Then we can just say that we left the capital because of something and came back after so many years.
My cousin has been looking for someone, but he couldn't find him because he moved away. Now he has unexpectedly moved back. In short, when my cousin sees Qu Moying's true appearance, he will not be able to recognize him for a while.
"Yes, I will ask the manager to look for it when I return." The maid responded.
She clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and then relaxed. Her cousin was hers, and no one could take him away from her...
