There are many things that I could never figure out before, but now when I think about them, I can explain them from another perspective.
What if the woman that Qu Zhizhen cared about was indeed another woman, and this woman’s status not only prevented her from being Qu Zhizhen’s mistress, but also prevented her from marrying him
The two of them couldn't be together, and they couldn't even let anyone know.
That means that this woman is either of noble status or already has a husband, and the two of them cannot be together, so Qu Zhizhen married my mother in such a hurry.
At that time, the Yue family in Jiangnan was also in chaos. The previous marriage was snatched away by Madam Liu, and there was another evil concubine on the side of the Empress Dowager, who was directly targeted by my mother. It was understandable that they hurriedly selected such a good candidate and got married in a hurry.
Originally, she always thought that Qu Zhizhen was passive at the time, but what if it wasn't the case? Qu Zhizhen was indeed discouraged and wanted to get married at the time
So you have a mother
After that, when Qu Zhizhen treated his mother coldly, could we also assume that there was a woman there who said some half-truths to Qu Zhizhen, which was why Qu Zhizhen watched coldly as Yu harmed his mother and ignored her
This is certainly because Yu gave birth to a pair of children, but on the other hand, can it also be considered that Yu was just a concubine at that time and would not attract the attention of the other woman, and all the jealousy was directed at the mother because she occupied the position of the principal wife
“Miss, Miss…” Seeing her in a daze, the needle and thread in her hand pierced her hand, Yu Dong shouted anxiously, “The needle in your hand…”
Before he could finish his words, a needle was inserted into his hand. The pain made Qu Moying shudder and wake up immediately.
"Miss!" Yu Dong hurriedly took the handkerchief. Qu Moying took it and covered her fingertips with it. Her watery eyes were filled with pain and she looked extremely pitiful.
There was a chill in his eyes. He took a deep breath, combined the information he had received before, and said slowly: "That woman should be there. She may be related to the royal family and have a noble status!"
The former servants of Yueyi Pavilion and those things that were once related to the royal family all represent this.
There is even a more important guess that Qu Moying did not say. If it is true, it will be a big event that will involve the entire Qu family.
The safety of the entire Qu Mansion and the lives of everyone in the Qu Mansion had already been taken care of by Qu Zhizhen long ago!
But she still hasn't realized that Qu Zhizhen would be such a sentimental person
For that woman, he has done so much, he can even be said to have sacrificed his entire fortune and life, right
"Miss... Miss, the second master has... a woman?" Yu Dong was really frightened, his mouth trembled, and he couldn't even finish his words for a while.
People like him rarely have such moments.
"There should be!" Qu Moying said affirmatively. She was not sure who this woman was, but she was sure that this woman could not marry Qu Zhizhen at that time. Now this woman should also be in a high position and power. However, there were many women in high positions and power in the capital, and many of them married royal sons.
Not to mention those far away, among the royal relatives nearby, there are quite a few princes and dukes.
And she could be the principal wife or the concubine. Those concubines among the royal relatives also came from official families and aristocratic families.
"Miss, the eldest and second masters passed the exam in the same period. At that time, the madam was not in the capital.
The first and second masters just brought the Madam here, and the Qu Mansion was just established in the capital, and they just started to visit various families. It should be impossible for the two masters to have met other young ladies before, right?"
Yu Dong had sorted out his thoughts by now. Although he was following Qu Moying's line of thought, he still had many doubts.
He found out about this matter as soon as he entered the Qu Mansion. The Qu Mansion was not in the capital before, and had no foundation in the capital. The wives they married were not daughters of a big family in the capital.
The first wife, Luo, was arranged by the eldest master a long time ago, so her family background is naturally not here. The second master also married a wife from the Yue family in Jiangnan, not in the capital.
It was just a small matter, but Yu Dong found out everything on the first day she entered the mansion. She didn't think Qu Zhizhen had any chance to meet the young lady from a noble family in the capital.
Even if someone took a fancy to him, they would only look at him secretly and would not let him really meet their own lady. Later, when Jiangnan Yue took a fancy to him, the two of them agreed and arranged the marriage.
There is nothing inappropriate about this.
"Miss, I heard that the Second Master and his wife got married not long after he came to Beijing. That... shouldn't be possible, right?" Yu Dong reminded Qu Moying again implicitly. He really didn't believe that such a thing existed, and he had never heard of it in all these years.
"Let's wait and see. Since it exists, there will always be clues." Qu Moying shook his hand, his eyes dark.
If there really is another woman involved in this, she will definitely find out who this woman is. No matter who she is, if she really has a hand in this, no matter who she is, she will not let her go.
My mother's life can be said to be an extremely tragic one. She was secretly guarded against and plotted against by so many people, but she knew nothing about it. In the end, even when she died, only Yu was found to have taken the blame.
"Miss, if Yu knew something, why didn't she mention it before? She has already been sentenced to death, is she afraid to speak out?"
Yudong still didn't understand.
Yu is about to die. If he really had any means, he would have used them long ago. Why wait until now
"Maybe she doesn't know either, or maybe she wasn't crazy enough before." Qu Moying said meaningfully, sneering in her heart. Since Yu had brought up this, she wanted to see how this matter would proceed.
The more Yu talks now, the faster he will die!
What she wants to see now is how big a storm the Yu family can stir up this time, and how many scandals that have accumulated over the years can be exposed.
This time, is Yu planning to fight to the death
She is now waiting to see how the fish dies and how the net breaks...
Qu Moying learned about Qu Zhizhen's visit to Yu from the old lady. The old lady meant that Yu was now crazy, and Qu Zhizhen must go to see her for the last time. Qu Zhizhen originally did not want to go, but for the sake of Qu Qiuyan and Qu Mingcheng, he went anyway.
Because he felt a little guilty towards Qu Moying, he did not tell Qu Moying about this matter in person, but asked the lady to tell Qu Moying about it. He also said frankly that he would only go once at most, and he would not go no matter what Yu said in the future. This meant that he would stand on Qu Moying's side as always.
Qu Moying said she didn't care about this, and the lady was very pleased...
The Ministry of Justice, a long time ago, the man under my father was in the Ministry of Justice, or it can be said that my father didn't have many people left at that time, but there should be a few people in the Ministry of Justice. It is still possible to find out some very simple things and pass on some specious words to Yu...
At the Ministry of Justice, Qu Zhizhen was led into the visiting room, and saw Yu, whose face looked a little crazy and dazed, and extremely abnormal.
With a wave of his hand, all the people from the Ministry of Justice retreated. Qu Zhizhen's servant also retreated to the door, his eyes falling on several minor officials from the Ministry of Justice not far away.
The servant was a man close to the Minister of Works, and the other minor officials were tactful enough to walk further away!
This Vice Minister of Works will soon become the father-in-law of the King of England. Not to mention that he is just a minor official in the Ministry of Justice, even the Minister of Justice has a smile on his face when he sees Qu Zhizhen recently, which is very different from the past.
"Yu, what are you doing again? Why did you call me here? Is there anything else we can talk about?" Qu Zhizhen sat down on the chair in the middle and said impatiently.
They are husband and wife, and have been for many years. Yu is a few years younger than him, and now Qu Zhizhen still looks like the high-spirited Qu Zhizhen, but Yu is no longer the charming girl she used to be, but has become a crazy and hideous old woman.
"Qu Zhizhen, are you afraid to come and see me?" Yu stared at Qu Zhizhen for a long time, and suddenly she giggled. All she saw on his face was impatience and disgust. He even sat far away from her, as if she had become an unspeakable stinky thing, and he couldn't accept her getting any closer.
"Yu, do you know what nonsense you are talking about?" Qu Zhizhen shouted, frowning tightly.
"Of course I know. Lord Qu, Minister Qu, Lord Qu rose to prominence right after he passed the imperial examination. It would be impossible if no one helped him! For so many years I have always thought that I misunderstood, but now I think it is impossible that I really misunderstood. My cousin... my cousin..."
Yu suddenly began to sob, tears falling down her face. She looked charming and lovely that day, but now she looked disgusting.
"Yu, how dare you talk nonsense!" Qu Zhizhen's body shook, and he said angrily, "You don't want to save the lives of your own children, do you?"
"I don't want it... I can't afford it..." Yu suddenly burst into tears, her voice unconsciously high-pitched, "What did you say back then? You said you would never treat me badly, you said you would be devoted to me, you said I gave you a pair of good children, but now... you..."
"Yu, it's not that I don't remember our old friendship, but you are too vicious. Even if you don't like Yue, you can't harm her life, and you want to kill Ying girl's life. You have children, so Yue doesn't have any?" Qu Zhizhen said righteously.
"That's not what you said at the time, that's not what you said, you said... you said..." Yu was shocked by his righteous words and burst into tears.
"Back then, I thought you were devoted to Yue and felt guilty about you, so I said that. Who would have thought you would be so cruel and ruthless!" Qu Zhizhen said angrily, and his voice lowered. His expression towards Yu also eased a little: "Back then was back then, and now is now. If I had known that you had such a heart, I would have taught you well. I am indeed guilty about this matter. So, since you have such an incident, I don't want to come to see you, and I don't want to see you even more. I just want to protect Yan'er and Mingcheng with all my heart. Nothing else matters."
His words were extremely sad, slow and low, as if he was holding back all kinds of emotions, causing Yu's face, which had been shaking uncontrollably, to return to normal. Although there was still some anger in his eyes, there was no more madness than before...
