"Yes, we insisted that we had no chance to do it, so nothing happened." Qu Hongqin suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.
Because he had no chance to take action, nothing happened, and naturally it was impossible for him to get any information. He even had no idea whether there were any maids with extraordinary skills around Qu Moying.
As for why he didn't do anything, it was of course because he had a dispute with Qu Luqin and was sent back home by his grandmother.
There will generally be no chance to do it in the future.
"The county lady's people gave you instructions last time. You should reply in private first!" Qu Hongqin had no intention of letting Qu Luqin marry just like that. She originally thought that she had already made Qu Luqin obedient long ago, but she didn't expect that she would even be plotted against in private.
"Big... Big sister, no one contacted me. I just met the county lady's maid on the road, and she...she told me this..." Qu Luqin said timidly.
"I don't care about this... Anyway, go and explain to the county lady." Qu Hongqin said viciously.
"Wait... wait until the next time the maid comes, I... I say..." Qu Luqin stuttered, tears falling again, "How can someone like me... possibly meet County Lady Jingyu... even... even the maids around her... can't be seen whenever you want..."
"Then let's wait until the maid comes tomorrow." Qu Hongqin felt that what she said made sense and looked at her with contempt. She was not even qualified to ask for an audience with Lady Jingyu, so how much ability could Qu Luqin have
"Then you should have a good rest first. Do you have an idea of how to tell your grandmother and the maids in the Liu Mansion tomorrow?" Qu Hongqin stood up and said in a cold voice.
"Got it... Got it." Qu Luqin didn't dare to go against her wishes and trembled.
"Hmph! A toad wants to eat swan flesh." Qu Hongqin sneered again and left with his men.
"Second Miss!" The maid on the side finally rushed over and asked anxiously, "Second Miss, are you okay? What should we do now?"
Qu Luqin lowered her head, hatred revealed on her face, and she gritted her teeth. She had not expected things to come to this point, but how could she be willing to be suppressed by Qu Hongqin like this
She also knew that today's matter was a failure, and Qu Moying also frightened her. She even had a feeling that if she really dared to force her way into the King of England's Palace, her life would be gone. This Fourth Miss Qu was definitely not the kind of lady from a noble family who could swallow her anger, and the most important thing was that she had the means.
At this moment, Qu Luqin was really panicked.
Taking a deep breath, Qu Luqin said, "I'm fine. Let's wait and see... For the next thing, the county lord's people will come and follow what I just said."
She didn't dare to offend Jingyu County Lord and wanted to rely on him, but she was also clearly aware that Jingyu County Lord used her and planned a series of schemes, but in the end she got nothing. This shows Qu Moying's methods. She is not a fool like Qu Hongqin, who is always arrogant and knows nothing.
She knew that the Duke of Qi's Mansion now disliked Madam Liu, and it seemed that the reason was related to Qu Moying.
Originally, she thought that the main person who dealt with Qu Moying this time was Qu Hongqin, and she was just a "victim". If she could find a better place for herself, she would certainly be willing to do so. But now, she didn't dare to do so. Qu Moying was definitely not someone she could shake, let alone someone she could plan to marry.
past.
She wants to live, and live well, better than Qu Hongqin. How can she go down such a dangerous road
Jingyu County Lord’s status is so noble, but he couldn’t deal with Qu Moying, let alone himself!
What she wants to think about now is how to get through this incident perfectly and find the direction that is most beneficial to herself...
The Qu family members worshipped together and then had the New Year's Eve dinner. Because it was New Year's Eve, everyone had to eat something when they returned home, and the family had a warm chat together, so the New Year's Eve dinner had to be arranged early, at least an hour earlier than the usual dinner.
Because we had dinner early, it was not until after the New Year’s Eve dinner that it got dark and everyone went home.
Especially the Second Old Lady's family, they were the first to request to return home. After something like this happened, the Second Old Lady was on pins and needles. She had wanted to return home for a long time and had to go back to ask clearly. She was just suppressed by a maid in front of so many people. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
She had to ask clearly, if there was a way, she would be willing to send her granddaughter to the British palace.
The Qu family is the only one in power, and they are not intimately connected with other members of the Qu clan. This does not bring much benefit to the Qu clan. This is completely different from the original intention of the Qu clan, which regarded the Qu family as members of the same clan and promoted Qu Zhilin to the position of clan leader.
This is also the reason why everyone else just said that Qu Luqin could follow Qu Moying and marry into the Prince of Ying's Palace.
Qu Moying's marriage is undoubtedly a grand event and a great joy for the Qu family, but if there is another girl from the family, the relationship between the Prince of Ying's Palace and the Qu family can be even closer.
After all, the interests of the two brothers of the Qu family are not the interests of the Qu family, and the relationship between the two has become increasingly loose.
Seeing that she was in a hurry to leave, Mrs. Qu said a few words to her and asked my nanny to help see her off. After that, each family stood up and said that they wanted to go back to stay up to celebrate the New Year as they had some things to do at home.
The Qu family sent everyone away one by one.
After everyone had left, the people from the Qu Mansion returned to the Madam's Kangmingzhai together.
The lady sat down in the middle seat, and my nanny hurriedly changed her hand warmer and rewarmed the hand warmers for Qu Moying and Luo.
Before, everyone was very busy in the front, and the heater in the master's hand was actually not that warm.
Qu Zhilin and Luo sat on the left, followed by Qu Minghui, with Qu Zhizhen sitting in the first seat on the right, followed by Qu Moying and then Qu Mingcheng.
On a day like today, Qu Mingcheng would naturally come over. The lady had mentioned this to Qu Moying a long time ago.
This is the most complete time for the family to arrive during this period.
I haven't seen Qu Mingcheng for a while. He doesn't look well, looks a little haggard, and doesn't have much energy. Since he entered the room, he has been lowering his head, looking a little decadent.
"Mother, what do my second uncle and the others want to do?" After taking a sip of tea and warming himself up, Qu Zhilin spoke first with a displeased look on his face. Although what happened before happened only among the women, the news had already spread outside.
"I think he wants to... get more benefits!" Mrs. Qu said in a deep voice.
"Take more? What do they think this is? Can they just take it whenever they want?" Qu Zhilin was so angry that he almost laughed.
, this is the British royal palace, can they plot against it whenever they want
Even if they can control me, the final decision is not in my hands.
What kind of person is the King of England? What kind of woman does he want? How could an incompetent concubine's daughter, who comes from such a family, want to rush into the gate of the King of England's palace
If the King of England spoke, there would be plenty of legitimate daughters from the big families, so there would be no problem for the Qu Mansion. Those people from the Qu family were so ignorant that Qu Zhilin was angry and resentful. It was embarrassing for everyone. He was so angry that he wanted to explode, but Qu Zhizhen held him back.
"Brother, it's over. As for the Qu family... let's just leave it as it was before." Qu Zhizhen knew his brother's temper and knew that he was almost losing control just now, so he whispered to persuade him.
"If it really doesn't work, let's just branch out!" Qu Zhilin really couldn't stand it and said in annoyance.
"It's not possible to branch out. The two of us are too few now..." Qu Zhizhen looked back at his son and niece. The Qu family now has only two heirs, which is really too few. If they are separated, they can't form a new branch, and it seems unreasonable, and the number of people is not enough.
"Let's just follow what we said before. Every family has a few useless people. Big brother is the clan leader now and is in charge of clan affairs. Just make sure they don't make a fuss in the future."
Qu Zhilin also knew that what he said just now was just an angry remark. He slammed the table with his hand, and said angrily: "But look at these people, their faces... This... This is really shameful!"
"Brother, let them do what they want, and we will still do our own thing. Even if they are useless, there are clan rules to punish them. When the matter is settled, give some money to the clan and hold on to the right to speak." Qu Zhizhen didn't care. He felt that as long as the power of the Qu family was seized, those people would not be able to cause any trouble.
He was able to wrest the position of clan leader from those people in the first place, so he wouldn't have to worry about them causing trouble now.
He knew better than anyone what the people of the Qu family wanted, which was benefits. He was afraid that his two brothers had no intention of pulling in other people in the Qu family, so he couldn't wait to reach out his hand!
What a shame, that's so stupid!
He has no ability but wants to take advantage of others. He even dares to take action without finding out the truth about the matter, which makes people laugh at him.
Qu Zhilin still listened to his brother's advice. Although his face was still not looking good, he basically calmed down. He nodded gloomily and said, "In this case, let's do it this way. If they want to ask for help again in the future, I won't be polite."
He could use his power as the patriarch to let them know what would happen if they continued to take action.
Qu Zhilin was very angry, but Qu Zhizhen had a smile on his face. He turned his head and said to Qu Moying, "Don't worry, Ying'er, your father will take care of this matter. This kind of thing will never happen again."
"Thank you, father!" Qu Moying thanked softly.
"We are one family, but we are talking behind each other's backs. Other people in the Qu family have always thought that your uncle and I have few children, which means they are bullying us." Qu Zhizhen sighed and looked at his son and nephew.
"Second brother, Mingcheng has been away for a while. Even if he wants to study, it's very quiet in the mansion now. Let him come back to study!" Qu Zhilin looked at his brothers and sighed.
