"I don't know what happened. Have you visited my grandfather?" Qi Xiuran asked.
"I saw him when I came back, and then my grandfather told me not to go there unless it was necessary... Brother, has something happened? My grandfather is completely different now." Qi Xiu Nan asked puzzledly.
This time, it’s not just the grandmother who is different, but also the grandfather.
"What kind of person is the fourth young lady of the Qu family? Why is there so much trouble in the whole family because of her? Not to mention my cousin, even my aunt is also because of her... What did she do? Why did she do that?" Qi Xiu Nan said unhappily.
Qi Xiuran was silent for a moment, then looked at Qi Xiunan, "Who told you what she did? Or what kind of person is she, and how could she have such an impact on our family?"
"Need I say this? Brother, I don't know how to ask and I don't know how to listen?" Qi Xiu Nan reached out and patted his chest.
"What you heard was what your aunt, cousin, and grandmother said? Have you asked your grandfather, me, or Xiangyu?" Qi Xiuran asked.
Qi Xiu'nan choked at this question. He and Qi Xiangyu had a very ordinary relationship, and it had been like this since childhood. Only his cousin followed him all the time. Compared to Qi Xiangyu, who only greeted him when they met and rarely spoke, his cousin Liu Jingyu was more like his real sister.
"For some things, you need to ask more questions and think more. But if you only listen to one side, you will believe it. You went to the army for training. It was your father's idea, your grandfather's idea, and of course your own idea. If you encounter such a thing on the battlefield, you should know what to do. Sometimes what you see and hear may not be true."
Qi Xiuran said slowly, nodded to him, and continued walking out.
Qi Xiunan stood behind him, frowning. Could there really be another story behind this? What did his elder brother mean? Did he mean that his aunt and cousin were not trustworthy and asked him to ask his grandfather or Qi Xiangyu
He could understand if he asked his grandfather, but his grandfather didn't look like he could answer his questions. So should he ask Qi Xiangyu
But what does she know...
That night, Qu Moying sent Yu Dong to pass the message to Yue Wenhan. It was Yue Wenhan who exposed the Yu family's affairs in the first place. He was already involved in this matter, so it would not be abrupt to call him over to accompany him now. Besides, there were some things that he was not convenient to deal with himself, so it was most appropriate to ask Yue Wenhan for help.
Qu Moying pretended not to hear what his stepfather said about notifying the Ministry of Justice. Given Qu Zhizhen's personality, he might not only not have said that, but also said something else that was half-truth.
Of course, even if he really said it, other things might happen, and if something happened to Yu later, people would still blame him.
She didn't believe Qu Zhizhen at all!
She is now Qu Zhizhen's daughter. If she can establish a clear relationship with Qu Zhizhen, she would be willing to do so. If this matter is established well, maybe it will have some effect!
The person she was going to marry was Pei Yuanjun, and Qu Zhizhen was her father. Based on her understanding of Qu Zhizhen, if she really married into the Prince of Ying's palace, her adopted father might use her name to do something. In that case, she gave him this opportunity early on!
The next morning, Qu Moying got up very late on purpose. As expected, his stepfather had sent someone to urge him to leave, and told him not to go to
Madam, please pay your respects. He had already discussed this with her yesterday.
Qu Moying washed and dressed, then took two maids out of Qianyue Residence. She was frail now, and it was the lady's order that she take two maids with her. She also repeatedly told her that she would not be allowed to go out without the two maids!
They went out and got on a carriage that had been prepared long ago. The carriage was comfortably furnished. No one around Qu Moying needed to tell them that the carriage had been prepared just for Qu Moying to travel. It must have been prepared by Qu Zhizhen long ago.
Leaning against it, he felt much more comfortable than before. It seemed that this cheap father was really determined to get him to the Ministry of Justice to meet Yu!
The Ministry of Justice is quite far from Qu's residence. It takes several turns to get there.
Just as Yu Dong arrived at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice, he was about to jump off the carriage when he heard someone outside asking, "Is this the carriage from Minister Qu's residence? Is the fourth young lady in it?"
Yu Dong glanced at Qu Moying, and when she nodded, he said, "It's our lady. May I ask who you are?"
"Fourth Miss, our Lord Yue has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Yudong lifted the curtain and saw that it was indeed the servant beside Lord Yue, the one he had seen before.
The servant led the Qu Mansion's carriage into the Ministry of Justice through the side door, and then stopped in a yard. Yu Dong helped Qu Moying get off the carriage.
She followed the servant through the courtyard and arrived at another place. Yue Wenhan was already waiting under the corridor. When he saw her coming, his eyes fell on her face. Although he was amazed by her delicate eyebrows and eyes, he was only concerned about her. He looked at her complexion carefully. They hadn't seen each other for a while.
When I saw Qu Moying before, she was still wearing a veil to hide her beauty. But now she is a stunningly beautiful girl, just with a few sickly colors.
Compared to Qu Moying's beautiful appearance, Yue Wenhan was more concerned about her sickly complexion.
Yue Wenhan had some idea about Qu Moying's appearance. There were rumors that the fourth young lady of the Qu family was not ugly after taking off her veil, but was actually a beautiful young lady.
Although the beauty in front of him was much more beautiful than Yue Wenhan had imagined, this was not the focus of his attention.
"My cousin is not fully recovered yet?" Yue Wenhan looked very unhappy when he saw the sick look on Qu Moying's face.
Yu is not a particularly important person, so why should she come to see him at this time despite her illness
"Father wanted to let Yu rest in peace, especially since she brought up some of my mother's past events, saying that my mother's affairs might be of great relevance, and asked me to ask her about it when I see her again."
Qu Moying coughed softly, then gently pressed the corner of his lips with the handkerchief.
"No matter how big it is, does your body matter?" Yue Wenhan snorted coldly. He never had a good impression of Qu Zhizhen. He always felt that Qu Zhizhen was too naive. He thought that his aunt was too naive back then, which led to such a situation.
He was afraid that his cousin Qu Moying would trust Qu Zhizhen too much, but Qu Zhizhen was no longer his cousin's biological father, so he couldn't say it directly and could only remind her indirectly.
Qu Moying smiled. She naturally understood the meaning of Yue Wenhan's words and became more and more grateful to her cousin Yue Wenhan. Since her rebirth, this cousin has given her the greatest help. Compared with Qu Zhizhen, this cousin is a more reliable person.
"Don't worry, cousin.
It's not a serious problem, just be careful and take care of it."
"Come in and talk first!" Yue Wenhan said, turning around and leading him into the hall behind him.
After the two of them sat down, the waiter brought them tea.
"Cousin, what did the Ministry of Justice say?" Qu Moying asked after taking a sip of hot tea. This was an important reason why she specially invited Yue Wenhan over today.
It was not convenient for her to talk to the officials of the Ministry of Justice, but it was very convenient for her to talk to Yue Wenhan. They were originally similar government offices and they must have had interactions on a daily basis.
"I asked someone from the Ministry of Justice, and your father said he did, but he only said that you wanted to see Yu, and asked the Ministry of Justice to help take care of her and bring her to see you. As for the rest, he didn't say a word. Instead, he implied that you were willful and didn't let you come, but you were unwilling."
Yue Wenhan also had several close friends in the Ministry of Justice, and had already found out some things.
He originally thought it was true, but after hearing what Qu Moying said, he realized there was something wrong. It was obviously not his cousin who wanted to come, but Qu Zhizhen who asked her to come.
"Father means that I must come, and he can't stop me, so he can only go to the Ministry of Justice to make arrangements?" Qu Moying understood, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, in fact, it's not just your father who talked about your going to the Ministry of Justice. The second son of Duke Qi's Mansion is also asking about your going to the Ministry of Justice."
Yue Wenhan said.
"The second son of Duke Qi's mansion?" Qu Moying thought for a moment and shook his head. "I've never seen him before. Didn't he say he went to the border for training?"
She had inquired about some things in the Duke of Qi's Mansion, and she also knew that the Second Young Master Qi was a martial arts enthusiast and had practiced martial arts since childhood, so he was sent to the border for training at an early age. Was he returning to the capital
"Then they must be here because of Madam Liu's matter. Cousin, you didn't explain it in detail in your previous letter. What exactly is going on? How is my aunt's matter related to this Madam Liu? Is the rumor out there true or false? Could it be that this Madam Liu really harmed my aunt?"
Yue Wenhan also had a lot to say. When there were rumors outside before, Qu Moying also sent a letter to explain, but Yue Wenhan felt that there were too many doubts and it was not clear in the letter. This time Qu Moying happened to come over, and he brought up his own doubts as well.
This place is too weird.
"Cousin, there are indeed many things involved, but don't ask me now. I will tell you after I ask Mrs. Yu. Can I meet with Mrs. Yu now? Mrs. Yu should know something. I want to ask her later. I will find out as much as I can."
Qu Moying was silent for a moment.
"Do you really want to let someone sit in?" Yue Wenhan looked at her closely and asked.
"It's better to let someone sit in. There is no secret that cannot be heard by others. Since the Ministry of Justice is also secretly investigating these things, Yu might not have told it in the past, but it is possible today." Qu Moying nodded and said affirmatively.
Letting people from the Ministry of Justice sit in on the trial would, on the one hand, allow them to testify on his behalf, and on the other hand, allow Yu to say some things.
There are some words and some things she cannot say. Once she says them, no matter whether she is right or wrong, she will be wrong.
But Yu is different, and this place is also different. Words that don't come out of one's own mouth are more real and more believable. It's good that Yu wants to see me.
This is an opportunity for yourself...
