No one expected that Yu would take action directly in front of the mansion gate, and the noise was quite loud. Hearing the noise, several passers-by stopped and looked over here in confusion.
Of course, wealthy families would teach their maids and old women a lesson, but they would usually do so after returning to the mansion. They would never do so right at the gate.
The old lady was shaking with anger and was about to come down. My nanny hesitated for a moment and whispered something in the old lady's ear. The old lady stopped and looked at the people at the bottom of the stairs with a cold look.
"You little bitch, don't you know what kind of hairpin the young lady is wearing?" Yu pointed at Qingju with an angry look on her face.
“Madam… your servant…” Qingju was beaten badly, but she was not scared at all. At this moment, she could only cover her face and sob, unable to even utter a complete sentence.
"Are you the one who arranged the young lady's hairpins?" Yu's face was filled with anger, her fingers were shaking, as if she couldn't control herself.
“Yes… yes, it’s me…” Qingju nodded while crying.
At present, she is the only maidservant beside Qu Qiuyan. The other one has not been replaced since Qinghe left.
"Since you are the head maid beside the Third Miss and you are in charge of the accessories around her, don't you know that the Third Miss has two pairs of similar hairpins, both of which are purple pearl hairpins? One pair was given by the Yu Mansion on the Third Miss's birthday, and the other pair was bought by the Third Miss on the road."
Yu's eyebrows were stern, and she said with deep hatred: "The two pairs of hairpins are very similar. When we went up the mountain this time, the hairpins in the Third Miss's box included a pair of hairpins that the Third Miss bought herself, and another hairpin that the Yu family sent over. Don't you know? Are you just packing hairpins for the Third Miss like this?"
Hai Lan, who was following behind Yu, stepped forward and presented a hairpin in her hand.
The pearl hairpin has large purple pearls hanging on it, which looks beautiful and delicate, but there is only one.
“Your servant… Your servant…” Qingju spoke helplessly, looking at Qu Qiuyan for help, “Miss Third… Your servant…”
Hai Lan took back the hairpin in her hand, put it into the jewelry box in the hand of another maid, put it away, and then retreated behind Yu.
Although no one said a word, everyone could see clearly that the jewelry box was not small, and the hairpin was only placed on one side of the jewelry box. This was a jewelry box for a pair of hairpins. There was a stand on the other side, but no hairpin.
They were making so much noise here that many passers-by saw them from afar and came over.
Qu Moying watched Yu's acting quietly and sneered in her heart. No wonder Yu could make Qu Zhizhen abandon his wife and daughter. He had already had an affair with Yu before Yu entered the mansion. She should be grateful that she could live in the manor for so many years. On the one hand, it was because she was away from Yu. On the other hand, although Yu had harmed her several times, after she survived the disaster, Yu didn't take it too seriously.
An orphan who had been raised in a farm was really useless. After she returned home, when Yu Shi directly tried to kill her from Qu Qiuyan, she was reborn.
If I hadn't been reborn, I would have died in the fire that time.
Yu was indeed a shrewd and calculating person, much better than Qu Qiuyan. She already knew what Yu was going to do next. It was a dog-eat-dog situation, and she wondered who would take the blame this time.
A maid
It was an unintentional mistake, clearly not up to his status.
If Yu hadn't thought it through, she would never have made such a fuss to help Qu Qiuyan out.
Very good, she didn't even need to introduce this scene, she would bite off one of Yu's arms, besiege Wei to save Zhao, but Yu was destined to lose a city this time...
The watery eyes under the veil slightly raised, looking at the lady on the high platform. The lady was supporting my nanny, just watching quietly, and I sighed in my heart. The lady was the best. After all, she was Qu Qiuyan's grandmother. No one could protect me like my father did. I felt an inexplicable sourness in the corners of my eyes, and I slowly lowered my head and bit the corner of my lips to hide the pain and anger in my eyes.
"Do you have anything else to explain? The jewelry box that the Third Miss brought up the mountain, the hairpin that you picked for the Third Miss, the hairpin that the Third Miss wore was sent by the Yu Mansion, and the hairpin that you gave to the Fourth Miss was also sent by the Yu Mansion. Although the two pairs of hairpins are similar, they are not exactly the same. The Third Miss didn't notice it, and you didn't notice it either? And when you picked the hairpin for the young lady, why did you only bring one hairpin from the other pair up the mountain?"
Yu said angrily, "Right now, because of your mistake, the Third and Fourth Young Misses have been framed, and they have also been slandered. You, a maid, deserve to die for your guilt."
“Madam, it’s not me, it’s really not me… I was clearly putting it there fine before…” Qingju cried even louder.
Although the crowd watching did not know what had just happened in Dabei Temple, they could tell that something was going on. They looked at each other, not knowing what the cause of this incident was, and could only listen quietly.
"If it's not you, who else could it be? Could it be that someone has replaced the Third Young Miss's hairpins? Could it be that someone has tampered with the pair of hairpins placed in a jewelry box? Who else on the mountain has been to the Young Miss's room? Who could have moved the Young Miss's jewelry box, and you two, master and servant, didn't know about it?"
Yu was filled with hatred.
Qu Moying raised his eyebrows, already understanding the direction of Yu's drama. It turned out that the one who took the blame was not Qingju, but Yu Qingmeng. Come to think of it, Qingju, a maid, could not handle such a big thing.
Qing Ju also understood the meaning of Yu's words at this time, and cried out loudly without thinking: "Madam, it was Miss Yu... Miss Yu came and entered the inner room of the Third Miss. I... I was pouring tea for the Third Miss at that time and didn't notice it. Besides, Miss Yu is the Third Miss's cousin. I don't think it's a big deal."
"Qingmeng?" Yu looked deeply shocked, her legs went weak and she almost fainted.
Hailan quickly reached out to support her.
The lady on the steps in front of the door frowned tightly but said nothing.
"Yes, Madam, I felt it was strange at the time. When Miss Yu came, she looked like she wanted to have a good talk with Miss Three, but after walking around in the inner room, she left in a hurry. I thought Miss Yu looked very strange at the time, but... but I didn't think too much about it. I heard that Miss Yu later went to find Miss Four and had a quarrel with her..."
Qingju sobbed and her words became more coherent.
After the panic just now passed, she now understood what Yu meant, and of course she tried her best to cooperate with Yu.
"Cousin...she...why did she?" Qu Qiuyan reacted quickly, raised her pale face and tears fell,
"She is my cousin!"
This singer and composer is just like Yu Shi.
Qu Moying stood quietly aside, watching the mother and daughter perform.
“Miss, don’t forget, Miss Yu is following the Yongning Marquis’s son now, and the Yongning Marquis’s son just broke off the engagement with the Fourth Miss, and before… before, Miss Yu… didn’t like the Fourth Miss…” Qingju just wanted to extricate herself now, and she put all the blame on Yu Qingmeng, and had to drag Xu Lipeng into it.
Qu Moying liked this dog-eat-dog scene and became even more silent.
“You said… you said Qingmeng did this because she didn’t like the Fourth Young Miss?” Yu’s fingers were trembling, her whole body was shaking, she muttered to herself, and then her body tilted, her eyes closed, and she was so angry that she fainted.
Hai Lan hugged Yu tightly and said hurriedly: "Madam... Madam, please wake up, don't be angry, Miss Biao was also wrong for a moment, so...she took advantage of Miss San, don't be angry, you are in such a weak body, how can you be angry!"
Qu Qiuyan also pushed Qu Caiyue aside and rushed over, taking Yu from Hailan's hands, crying: "Mother, it's my fault, I was careless, I thought the hairpin I took out for fourth sister was the pair, but I didn't expect that I made a mistake. It was my cousin who took one hairpin from each of the two different pairs and put them in a jewelry box. When I came back and saw that one hairpin was missing, I thought the one I gave to fourth sister was the one. Mother, it's all my fault."
As she spoke, she cried even more sadly, and the scene became a mess.
"Go and bring everyone into the house and ask them later. What's the point of standing at the door?" The lady said coldly.
My nanny nodded and asked the little maid to help the lady go in first. She came down to take charge of the affairs. She first had Qu Qiuyan pulled away, and then had someone help the unconscious Yu in. After that, she persuaded Qu Qiuyan for a few more words before bringing the crying Qu Qiuyan and several young ladies in.
The last one walking was Qu Moying. Her eyes under the veil were dark and cold, without a trace of emotion, as if all the darkness was sucked into the depths of her eyes.
It was quite a drama, but she loved it!
Yu Qingmeng is really finished this time. Not only Yu Qingmeng, but even the good show that Xu Lipeng had performed before was criticized because of this, so he broke off the engagement and let this beautiful concubine take her home. Moreover, this beautiful concubine was hostile to her ex-fiancee and even framed her. It can be seen that Xu Lipeng and the beautiful concubine had a long-standing relationship.
In order to protect Qu Qiuyan, the Yu family had to push Yu Qingmeng out. Their reaction was quick. Although it was a bit far-fetched, it could barely clear the suspicion on Qu Qiuyan. Xu Lipeng was hypocritical and shameless, but he still wanted to protect his good reputation. He and the Yu family were a match for each other. No matter whether Xu Lipeng lost or the Yu family suffered a loss in the end, she was just a bystander.
This matter is not over yet. She watched the situation develop quietly. She stood on the steps and looked back. She glanced at a woman in the crowd and pursed her lips silently. She looked familiar. She was Yu's person. With Yu's personality, she knew that there would be a follow-up to the performance just now. She stretched out her hand and called Yu Dong over. She whispered a few words to her. Yu Dong nodded, turned around and went down the steps again, went to the carriage that Qu Moying had been sitting in before, and stopped the coachman who was driving the carriage away.
"Wait a minute, Miss Four has something on the carriage!"
The coachman stopped, and Yudong climbed onto the carriage to look for something. Outside the carriage, people began to talk...
