"Madam, what do you want to see our young lady for?" Nanny Yan stopped the aggressive Madam Duan at the door.
"I'm looking for your fourth young lady. Please ask her to come out." Mrs. Duan said bluntly, followed by Duan Jinxiang, who was crying with red eyes.
"Madam, if you have anything to say, just say it here!" Nanny Yan raised her head, looked Madam Duan up and down, and said with disdain.
"How dare a mere servant block me like this?" Mrs. Duan was already angry, and she became even angrier and shouted loudly.
"Madam, although I am just a servant, I am a servant in the palace and of the fourth rank." Nanny Yan said calmly.
Some of the palace maids and eunuchs had ranks and received salaries.
Madam Duan was stunned for a moment, then she immediately suppressed the anger on her face and became cautious. Who was this fourth young lady to have such a high-ranking palace servant guarding her
"Excuse me, which palace are you from?" Mrs. Duan said with a smile.
The official rank of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was fourth grade, which was not as high as Nanny Yan's in terms of rank. What's more, Nanny Yan was a member of the palace, and no one knew which palace she belonged to. Madam Duan dared not offend her. She had already decided to retreat, and no longer had the aggressive look she had before when she came to find trouble with Qu Moying.
Originally, he wanted to push the matter onto Miss Qu Si, who had the least support, to relieve his daughter's reputation concerns, and even make Xu Lipeng resent Qu Moying instead of his own daughter.
"Madam, does this have anything to do with you? Do you want to find out what's happening in the palace?" Nanny Yan said coldly.
This statement put a big hat on Mrs. Duan, but Mrs. Duan's head was too small to wear it.
“No, no, it’s a misunderstanding. I… just came to see Fourth Miss Qu and ask her about what happened back then. Third Miss Qu was wholeheartedly protecting Aunt Yu and pushed the blame onto my daughter. I had no choice but to come to Fourth Miss Qu for help.” Second Madam Duan said humbly.
How could he dare to argue with Nanny Yan at this time? Although she was arrogant, she was not stupid.
Miss Qu Si was actually being guarded by people sent from the palace, and they were of high rank. Judging from the look of this palace servant, she was fearless, which showed that the master behind her was incredibly powerful. She, the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was not strong enough, so how could she dare to bump into him
"Our Fourth Miss is not in good health. Besides, such matters are not something that an unmarried lady like her can handle. Madam, please go ahead." Nanny Yan rudely ordered the guest to leave.
"Since the fourth young lady is not feeling well, we will go back first and not disturb her rest." Mrs. Duan said with a smile, and reached out to grab the hand of Duan Jinxiang who wanted to step forward, and pulled her back forcefully.
Nanny Yan gave the mother and daughter a cold look, then turned and went back to the yard.
In the main room, Qu Moying was standing in front of the window, holding onto the table, his eyes lightly falling on the face of this Mrs. Duan. She had a pretty appearance, but looked a bit sharp. Looking at the way she had just rushed over, it was obvious that she had ill intentions, needless to say she came here to take advantage of his weakness and to push the blame onto him.
She pursed her cherry lips gently, and a murderous look flashed in her eyes. As expected, if you are too weak, you will be bullied. Even Mrs. Duan, who has never seen her, naturally treats her as a soft persimmon.
In fact, Duan Jinxiang was not the only one who made the choice today. However, when facing Qu Qiuyan, Duan Jinxiang was not
If you dare, then come find me. Now that I can't do it here, I still have one last option. Duan Jinxiang has to leave for this option whether she wants to or not.
Even if they can't think of it at the moment, I will lend them a helping hand.
Nanny Yan walked into the yard, looked over, and met Qu Moying. She turned sideways and bowed silently, then went to a room on the side, without disturbing Qu Moying's rest.
This person is really tactful and doesn't seem as annoying as imagined. Moreover, he can be very useful at the right time. Qu Moying looked at Nanny Yan's back thoughtfully.
She is not afraid of being tutored, it just depends on whether the tutor has any malicious intentions.
If she was just taught well how to behave, it would be a good thing for her. At least it would allow others to legitimately recognize her different behavior from the past. After all, she had been taught by someone sent by the palace, so there wouldn't be many mistakes in her words and deeds.
But who exactly does this Nanny Yan belong to
"Mother, why did you pull me? I went in to argue with Qu Moying. She was the one who irritated me. If she hadn't irritated me, I wouldn't have rushed out and beat up that bitch Yu Qingmeng. That bitch has lost her child now and it's all my fault. Mother, how can you blame me for this!"
After leaving Qianyue Residence for a distance, Duan Jinxiang struggled to get rid of Madam Duan's pull, stood still, and said in annoyance, "Mom, didn't you say you would bring me here to put the blame on Qu Moying? Anyway, besides Qu Moying, there was only Qu Qiuyan present at the time. Qu Qiuyan also said that she would help us just now. Why did you back out when you got here!"
When they were sitting in the side room just now, Qu Qiuyan meant that she didn't get along well with Qu Moying. The two young ladies of the Qu family were born to two different mothers, and recently it was reported that Miss Qu San's biological mother, Yu, framed Qu Moying, and finally even brought the matter to the emperor, and Yu was almost divorced.
If Yu's illness had not come in time, even if she had not been divorced, she would probably have been demoted to a concubine.
With such a thing in mind, the two young ladies of the Qu family will definitely be at loggerheads and push the blame onto Qu Moying. Qu Qiuyan will not say anything and may even provide counter-evidence to prove that Duan Jinxiang is right, and that all the things were planned by Qu Moying.
It has nothing to do with Duan Jinxiang.
The Yongning Marquisate could not be blamed on Duan Jinxiang. When the Yongning Marquis's son saw Duan Jinxiang, although he did not say anything, his face was filled with anger, and there was even a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Just because of this, Duan Jinxiang panicked. She really didn't want Xu Lipeng to get angry when he saw her. When Mrs. Duan mentioned it, she immediately thought it was a good idea.
"Not now." Mrs. Duan stepped forward and shook her hand, her expression calming down.
"Why not, mother? Are you willing to sacrifice your own daughter for Qu Moying? Mother, the prince just looked at me as if I were his enemy. What should I do if I marry him? Yu Qingmeng, that bitch, will definitely put the blame on me for everything."
Duan Jinxiang's voice unconsciously became higher and higher, and she spoke in a shrill voice.
Madam Duan hurried forward and covered her mouth, begging in a low voice: "My little ancestor, this is Minister Qu's residence, not our own residence, please speak softly."
"What's the point of being gentle? Master Xu has seen me like this. Mother, I don't want to live anymore. I'd rather die.
I have to clean it up, so that the bitch won't use this as an excuse to fight me. I am the principal wife, why are they treating me like a concubine? The principal wife hasn't even entered the house, and a concubine is pregnant. This is wrong in the first place."
Duan Jinxiang angrily pulled Mrs. Duan's hand away and started crying while struggling.
"Okay, okay, little ancestor, mother is thinking of a solution for you!" Madam Duan was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. Not only was the Qu Mansion not her own home, but there was also the son of the Marquis of Yongning, and even people from the palace around the fourth young lady. Madam Duan did not dare to be presumptuous.
"Mom, what do you say we should do? If we don't let Qu Moying take the blame for me, who should we let take it for me? What should I do?" Duan Jinxiang burst into tears.
"There is another person, another person who can take over." Fearing that her daughter would really cause trouble, Mrs. Duan said quickly, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, "Yes, there is another person, Yu Qingmeng, who can take over."
"Mother, what are you saying in anger? Yu Qingmeng lost her baby and now she blames me. I was really irritated by Fourth Miss Qu at that time, so I rushed over and just touched her lightly. Who would have thought that she would not be able to stand and fall down? Can you blame me for this?"
Duan Jinxiang was so angry that she wanted to tear Yu Qingmeng to pieces.
"Mother, why can a concubine like her get pregnant when the wife is not married yet? What kind of rule is this? Didn't you say before that such a thing would not happen? Even if this bitch entered the Yongning Marquis's Mansion first, she can't give birth to a child before me."
"Yes, that's the reason!" Mrs. Duan gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice.
Duan Jinxiang was just having a tantrum. Seeing her mother actually deep in thought, she immediately stopped and wiped away her tears. "Mom, if this bitch can take the blame herself, that would be the best. Although it would be a relief to have Qu Moying take the blame, she is still not as good as Yu Qingmeng, the bitch."
Duan Jinxiang originally came to find Qu Moying to ask for an explanation, but the person she hated the most right now was not Qu Moying but Yu Qingmeng.
Thinking that if Yu Qingmeng really was fine this time and really gave birth to a son, the title of the eldest son would be snatched away by this bitch.
If she had known earlier that Yu Qingmeng was pregnant, she would have taken action, but not like this time. She would have to think it through, set a trap, and push the blame on someone else before taking action. The best thing would be, of course, for Qu Moying to take the blame, while she herself would be innocent and could pretend to be a good person.
"Wait a minute, let me think about it!" Madam Duan shook her hand, signaling her to stop making trouble. She pulled her and walked slowly forward, thinking deeply. If this matter really came to light, the Yongning Marquis's Mansion would have to give an explanation. Before this, Madam Yongning Marquis's wife only said that this concubine was engaged a long time ago, but did not say that she was pregnant.
In this regard, the Yongning Marquisate was wrong.
Or is it that this little bitch surnamed Yu is hiding it on purpose? Thinking about it this way, it is really possible. It is impossible for the wife of the Yongning Marquis to let this little bitch get pregnant right after entering the house, right
At the corner, a ball of paper was thrown silently, right in front of the mother and daughter. Mrs. Duan was stunned for a moment and winked at a maid beside her.
The old woman took two steps forward, walked through the moon-shaped door after the turn, and didn't see anyone. She turned around and shook her head at Mrs. Duan.
Another maid picked up the paper ball on the ground, flattened it and handed it to Madam Duan. Madam Duan looked at it and her eyes suddenly widened...
