"What are you afraid of?" Yu Dong asked subconsciously. After she finished speaking, she immediately understood and her eyes widened. "Second Miss, is she afraid that the Second Madam will push her out to be a shield for the Third Miss in the future?"
Qu Caiyue has always been very flattering to Qu Qiuyan. She would do whatever Qu Qiuyan asked her to do immediately, and would even do things to please Qu Qiuyan from time to time.
"She should be afraid. Yu Qingmeng is Yu's niece. She used to be more respectable in the mansion than her and was more favored by Yu. Now Yu has even pushed Yu Qingmeng out, let alone her." Qu Moying said lightly.
"Miss, it is obvious that the Third Miss wanted to harm you, together with Miss Yu. Does the Madam believe what the Second Madam said?" Yu Chun was thinking in another direction and said angrily.
"The madam will naturally believe it." Qu Moying said coldly.
"This is too fake. The Third Miss is so vicious. She wanted to burn the young lady to death at that time. Now that the first plan failed, she came up with another plan. Even this servant saw it, how could the Madam not see it?"
Yuchun said in surprise.
"Whether the Madam can see it or not, this is the best way right now." Qu Moying's tone was gentle but a little cold.
When you see through some things, even though you can accept them intellectually, you still feel uncomfortable in your heart.
Even if the Madam saw through it, it didn't matter. Even though the palm and the back of the hand were slightly different, they were still the same flesh after all, and she couldn't give up either one...
And it seems that the only one she can rely on is herself!
She shook her hands vigorously, suppressed the sudden weakness in her heart, and looked up again, her eyes were as firm as ever. The moment she was reborn, she knew that everything that came after should be sought by herself actively. Now that her father was gone, who else could she rely on wholeheartedly!
If I still have this kind of dependent mentality, how can I, a weak person like me, take revenge
"Yudong, tell me what you just heard." Qu Moying said slowly.
"Yes, I heard the maidservant beside the Second Madam talking to someone, and she said this..." Yu Dong reported in a low voice as she walked.
"Tell me, what happened?" Seeing that all the granddaughters had left, the lady's face became as cold as ice as she looked at Yu and Qu Qiuyan who were kneeling on the ground.
Qu Qiuyan was startled and was about to speak, but Yu grabbed her hand, pinched her hard, and signaled her not to say anything. Then she picked up the handkerchief and continued to wipe her tears.
"Madam, Qingmeng was wrong about this matter, and I was also wrong. I was negligent in disciplining her in the past, which not only made her do things that violated the rules of the boudoir, but also made her want to harm the fourth young lady. Fortunately, nothing happened this time. From now on, I promise you that it will never happen again. She is just a concubine in the Yongning Marquis's mansion. She has nothing to do with us. I will not let her come to our house in the future."
Yu knew what the lady meant, but she was not panicked. Her face showed anger, disappointment, and determination.
"Is it all Yu Qingmeng's fault?" The lady asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes, it's all her fault. Yan girl was a good person, and her reputation was ruined by her. When we were at the Great Compassion Temple before, His Royal Highness Prince Jing was also there. He was very angry about this matter, and he might even ask Second Master about it."
Yu said hurriedly.
Yu Shi already knew what the Madam cared about and what she didn't care about. If Qu Qiuyan really married Prince Jing, it would be a disaster for the entire Qu Mansion.
They're all good things.
This is a big deal in the mansion, it can’t be ruined!
The lady looked gloomy and didn't say anything. After a long while, she said, "Yu, what if Yu Qingmeng says that this was not her fault?"
"Mother, Qingmeng is just a concubine now, and she is not even allowed to go out. No one will listen to what she wants to say. Moreover, even if she says something, no one will believe her." Yu said angrily, "She plotted against Yan girl first, and then murdered Ying girl. I don't want to acknowledge this niece anymore."
The old lady looked at her with half belief and half doubt. She had always seen how good Yu was to her niece. This made her even more indignant that her own granddaughter was being raised on the farm with no one to take care of her.
"Mother, don't worry, I will take care of this matter." As soon as Yu saw the old lady's look, she knew that she had made up her mind, so she put more effort into it.
"What should we do with the Yongning Marquis' Mansion? This matter also involves the Yongning Marquis's son." The lady said in a cold tone.
"Mother, this matter was originally Qingmeng's fault. It has nothing to do with us if others blame it on the Yongning Marquis's son. To be honest, the Yongning Marquis's son did not do the Fourth Miss justice. Why can he get engaged right away if he wants to cancel the engagement?" Yu looked like she was standing up for Qu Moying. "The Fourth Miss's marriage has become like this now, and it's all because of the Yongning Marquis's son."
When Mrs. Yu said this, she knelt down two steps and leaned in front of the old lady, then kowtowed to her three times, her forehead immediately turned purple. She raised her head and watched the old lady's tears falling, "Mother, I have always been good to Qingmeng, and I also wanted her to be a kind-hearted lady. I didn't expect that she would...actually be with the Yongning Marquis's son. I didn't know about this. If I had known earlier, I would rather let Qingmeng go to a nunnery to save her from such embarrassment."
As she spoke, she covered her face with a handkerchief and bent over with tears, making the scene seem real.
Qu Qiuyan followed her and also crawled on her knees for two steps. She came to Yu's side and reached out to hug her, calling out, "Mom, mom, don't be sad. It's not your fault for what happened to cousin... cousin. Who knew she... she would be like this?"
The mother and daughter cried together, looking extremely pitiful.
The lady looked at the crying mother and daughter hugging each other in silence, and warned them after a long while, "Yu, you have never liked Ying, but no matter what, Ying is Erlang's biological daughter. As daughters of the Qu family, we share the same fate!"
"Mother, I don't dislike Ying girl, it's just that when I see Ying girl, I think of my sister. Although my sister died of dystocia, but... but I still feel sorry for her. If I hadn't entered the mansion, maybe my sister would have been fine. Ying girl looks very similar to my sister. The more I look at her, the more sorry I feel for my sister, and the more uncomfortable I feel. This is why I haven't dared to see her for so many years, but it's not because I don't like her."
Yu raised her head, tears streaming down her face, with a large purple bruise on her forehead, looking extremely pitiful.
"If it weren't for the two pieces of meat in my belly, I... I would rather die than ruin my reputation, and I don't want to make my sister angry. As a result, my sister... ended up like that. It's all because of me. I've let my sister down. If I could start over, I would rather die with Yan'er and Cheng'er."
This cry was extremely effective. The lady fell silent. Yu was wrong and shameless, but after all, this matter also concerned one of her grandsons.
She had a son and a granddaughter, and Erlang's only son. Of course, the lady did not want Yu to die while she was pregnant with two children.
Thinking of what happened back then, sadness welled up in his heart. He leaned back, closed his eyes, and waved his hand weakly, "You'd better take care of yourself in the future. Go down!"
"Yes, mother, I will definitely treat Ying girl as my own daughter in the future. Thinking about it, I have been wrong in the past few years. Because I didn't dare to meet Ying girl who looked like my sister, I ignored her help and made the servants in the mansion think that Ying girl was not favored. It was all my fault. Now, I have thought it through and I will never do that again."
Yu assured.
The Madam said nothing, but waved her hand again, signaling them to leave. Wu Mama winked at Yu, who understood and pulled her daughter up to say goodbye to the Madam. The mother and daughter left in a hurry, and when they left the Madam's yard, they asked the servants who followed them to step back a few steps, and only the mother and daughter were left walking and talking in low voices.
"Mother, the Prince of Yongning will not let this go." Qu Qiuyan said worriedly.
"So what if he's unwilling to give up? He and Qingmeng have indeed had an affair for a long time." Yu sneered.
"But didn't mother acquiesce at that time? What if the Prince of Yongning uses this matter to make trouble?" Qu Qiuyan was puzzled. When Yu Qingmeng fell in love with Xu Lipeng, Yu had been the go-between. It can be said that Yu played a big role in Yu Qingmeng and Xu Lipeng getting together so early.
"Xu Lipeng is not clean himself, how dare he care about it." Yu sneered indifferently.
"But about my uncle..." Qu Qiuyan was still a little worried.
"Your uncle has figured out which one will benefit him more: a daughter who is a concubine and has basically no chance of becoming a wife, or a niece who will help him become successful in the future." Yu said indifferently.
She had already sent the letter to the Yu Mansion, and believed that her elder brother could understand it.
A daughter who is a concubine is useless anyway. With me here, can she be demoted to a maid? What's more, Xu Lipeng himself is not clean, so what can he do to Yu Qingmeng
"That's good. Fortunately, I have mother, otherwise I would really be in trouble this time." Qu Qiuyan was terrified, and then she bit the tiger with hatred in her eyes, "Mother, it must be that bitch Qu Moying who did something in it, otherwise how could it be like this."
"Qu Moying is not that capable." Yu shook her head. She still didn't believe that Qu Moying was that powerful.
"Mother, I really gave Qu Moying that hairpin, but she insisted that I didn't give it to her. I gave her another one, which was also lost by someone. There is no evidence at all." Qu Qiuyan became anxious when she saw that Yu didn't believe her.
"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with that bitch." Yu sneered, her eyes shining, looking towards Qianyueju. Was it really a coincidence, or was this girl so clever? Yu felt that she should check it out herself. After all, her daughter had little experience. Maybe Qu Moying was afraid of falling into a trap, so she refused to admit it.
At that time and place, she was just trying to save herself, and she didn't really do anything wrong. But no matter what, it was a fact that her daughter was dragged into this state by Qu Moying. For this fact, Qu Moying would never be able to escape the guilt, and she would not let this blind girl born by this bitch go.
"Mother, what do you want to do?" Qu Qiuyan leaned over and asked in a low voice.
