No one expected that Minister Liu would do something like this.
A man who has been a decent person for so many years actually has a mistress.
Not only did he keep a concubine, but he even kept her for so many years? According to previous rumors, Minister Liu was a man of deep affection and no regrets, but I heard that the eldest daughter he kept outside was now older than County Lady Jingyu.
That means she was raised very early. They said that Madam Liu stole Xiao Yue's marriage. When this concubine was pregnant, Lord Liu was still in Jiangnan, right
What a gentleman, actually he was planning to cheat in marriage at that time, right? But he didn't cheat the Yue family in Jiangnan, but the daughter of the Duke of Qi ran into him instead.
This Madam Liu is also unlucky. She had a concubine early on, and the concubine gave birth to a son and a daughter. Madam Liu only has an only daughter. Comparing the two, you can see who Minister Liu cares about...
The incident was an accident. It was said that Madam Liu was watching Minister Liu go out. After they entered the house one after the other, they started quarreling. Originally, the matter was quarreled behind closed doors and other people were unaware of it. It happened that people from the government office came to look for people from Northern Xinjiang, and it was said that people from Northern Xinjiang had appeared in this area before.
The government sent a large group of bailiffs, including people from the Dali Temple.
This person from the northern border is related to the previous assassination of the King of England. That is a big deal. The Ministry of Justice dared not not send someone. The people from the Dali Temple happened to be there, and they hurried over. If they really found out something, it would be a great achievement. The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple led the team personally.
A large group of people rushed in and saw Madam Liu, who had fallen to the ground and was supported by two maids. Across from her, Minister Liu was holding a woman and trying to comfort her.
There was also a young girl next to them calling them dad and mom.
There was also a boy who was frightened and cried...
Everything was in chaos. Madam Liu was cursing Minister Liu for keeping a mistress, and Minister Liu was cursing Madam Liu for being a shrew. Then their maids and old women started cursing at each other.
The scene was in chaos.
Seeing the yamen runners come in, the whole courtyard fell silent for a moment, as if their pulse was being held. No one believed that they would see such a scene, especially the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, who knew Minister Liu.
The two looked at each other, both of them were stunned, not knowing what to do...
Suddenly, the boy rushed over, crying loudly and saying, "Hurry up and save my mom and dad! This vicious woman is going to beat them to death."
He first pointed at Minister Liu and the woman in his arms, and then pointed at Madam Liu. It was simply a confession!
When news of the Liu Mansion came, Qu Moying was looking at the wedding character cut by Nanny Zhou.
After listening to Yu Dong's report of the outside news, he picked up a piece of wedding paper and laughed: "Where is Madam Liu now?"
"After this incident, Madam Liu wanted to be carried back to the Duke of Qi's residence, but when she arrived, she was refused. They said that the old Duke and the old lady were both sick, and asked her not to make a fuss in front of the two old people, so as to avoid hurting the old Duke and the old lady."
"Who said that?" Qu Moying asked casually. This was certainly not something a servant would say or dare to say.
"It was the Duke of Qi who said that. He also told Madam Liu not to lose her temper and to properly resolve the matter with Minister Liu. There is no point in returning to the Duke of Qi's mansion at this time. It will only make people laugh at her."
Yu Dong's eyes widened
I said with a smile, feeling really relieved.
Madam Liu was a gloomy and vicious person. She had done many things behind people's backs in the past. She had always regarded herself as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. She never expected that one day she would be turned away. Even if he hadn't seen her expression, he could imagine how furious she was.
But so what? The fact that Duke Qi could get to the Duke's Mansion already represented the Duke's Mansion's attitude.
Qu Moying picked up another "喜" character, looked at it, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. This was the attitude of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. Knowing that Qi Xiejiao was a poisonous snake, and an ungrateful one at that, they still didn't dare to say anything more and only wanted to isolate themselves from her.
It would be a surprise if they still accepted Qi Xiejiao at this time.
Knowing that she killed her own mother and that she knew her life experience long ago, yet she said nothing and acted secretly, and even wanted to kill Madam Qi, she might have an unusual relationship with Northern Frontier. If the Duke of Qi's Mansion dares to approach her, can they approach this Madam Liu
No matter how pitiful Madam Liu is now, the Duke of Qi's Mansion will not accept her!
"Miss, will they find out something?" Nanny Zhou also knew about this matter. She put down the scissors in her hand and asked anxiously.
Qu Moying played a lot of role in this matter. She was the one who guided many key points. These details seemed small, but they were actually very effective.
It's just that you don't notice it when the commotion starts, but after it's over and everyone has sobered up, with the temperament of Madam Liu and Minister Liu, they will definitely discover something.
But so what
"Don't worry, Madam Zhou, nothing will happen. Even if they find out something afterwards, at most they will think that someone has plotted against them. Minister Liu has many political enemies, and I'm just a lady who seldom goes out. Even Madam Liu would not suspect me." Qu Moying said indifferently.
There are flaws, but everyone looks at the results. When the final results come out, people only see the obvious beneficiaries. Who would consider these things
Besides, she has already dealt with these flaws.
"Madame Zhou, you don't know that Madam Liu stayed in front of the Duke of Qi's mansion for a long time, but the Duke of Qi refused to let her in. In the end, she had to go back crying. I heard that when the sedan chair was carried all the way, people could hear Madam Liu crying, and they all felt that Madam Liu was very aggrieved." Yu Dong curled her lips and said sarcastically, "It's come to this, but she is still so good at pretending."
"You have to pretend!" Qu Moying said meaningfully, putting down the "喜" character in his hand, washing his hands in the basin brought in by Yuchun, and then wiping his hands with the towel handed over by Yudong. "Minister Liu has always been known for his integrity. Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his official position. If the Duke of Qi's Mansion was backing Madam Liu, Minister Liu wouldn't dare to do anything, but now, it's hard to say!"
After Qu Moying finished speaking, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
This Madam Liu was determined to deal with me. Even though she was lying down, she was still restless. She wanted to see if she still had the energy to deal with me.
"Miss, Miss Qi is here to see you!" a maid reported from outside.
Qi Xiangyu is here
Although she disliked the people from Duke Qi's Mansion, Qi Xiangyu knew nothing after all, and what happened back then had nothing to do with her. Another point was that she felt that Qi Xiangyu was a good person. At least, Qi Xiangyu did not treat her badly back then.
"Please come in, Miss Qi!" Qu Moying said softly.
A trace of doubt flashed through her mind. What was Qi Xiangyu doing here at this time? Before, Duke Qi's Mansion had sent things here from time to time, but except for some simple medicinal materials, she had to return all the other things. So Qi Xiangyu coming here at this time... It was quite unexpected.
What about Madam Liu
The door curtain was lifted, and Qi Xiangyu walked in with a maid. Qu Moying hurriedly took a few steps to greet them.
"Is your hand okay? How is the injury? Grandmother is sick and my aunt is also very scared. She can't get up now, so she had to let me come over to take a look." After the two of them sat down as host and guest, Qi Xiangyu asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious." Qu Moying shook his tightly wrapped hands and said with a smile, "I just need to take care of it slowly for a while!"
"Are your bones not broken?" Qi Xiangyu looked at her tightly wrapped hands. Nothing could be seen from the outside, so she wondered what was going on inside.
"There are no broken bones, just superficial injuries. It looks a little scary." Qu Moying shook his head and said with a smile.
"Will it leave scars? A woman's hands cannot have scars!" Looking at how tightly it is wrapped, it is possible that it will leave scars.
"It shouldn't be the case. If you take good care of them, they won't be like this." Qu Moying said uncertainly. He must be feeling a little weak. Anyone would feel uncomfortable thinking about a pair of good hands being turned into this state.
"Miss Fourth Qu, this matter is related to our family. Grandfather and uncle are here to apologize to you. I hope you will forgive me." Qi Xiangyu stood up and bowed deeply.
Qu Moying stood up quickly and helped her up: "Miss Qi, you are too polite. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with you, why do you need to apologize!"
Instead of saying "you guys", she only said "you", which meant that Qu Moying also knew something. Qi Xiangyu smiled bitterly, took Qu Moying's uninjured hand, and the two of them sat down again.
"This matter... Actually, I have to tell you something. After all, you got into trouble in our house, and we owe you an explanation." Qi Xiangyu's smile became more bitter, and it was a little difficult to say it, but she had to say it, "Miss Qu Si, the fire that day was related to my aunt."
"Is it related to Madam Liu?" Qu Moying raised her eyebrows. When she saw Qi Xiangyu said the previous words, she was not so surprised.
"Yes, it's related to my aunt... The relationship between my aunt and my eldest aunt has never been so harmonious... So this time... It's not just... an accident..." Qi Xiangyu blushed and stammered. Such words were almost a slap in the face, and the face of her own Qiguo Mansion was slapped.
The sister-in-law and the uncle have been at odds for years, to the point where they have even caused something like this.
No matter how difficult it was to investigate the affairs in the mansion, after my grandfather gave the death order, some clues were still found, and each one pointed to my aunt.
Even though Qi Xiangyu didn't like Liu Jingyu before, she still respected Madam Liu and always thought that her aunt was a gentle and kind person. She didn't expect... she didn't expect that such a fire would happen.
Although it wasn't said that it was done by my aunt, how could the servants dare to plot against my aunt, and they just happened to lead my aunt here...
Until now, Qi Xiangyu still feels confused. Her aunt didn't like her great aunt, so she started the fire. Then she got scared and rushed in to save her great aunt, but this... what is this
Why doesn't she understand
