The Prince Jing's Mansion used to be very close to the Liu Mansion, because at that time Liu Jingyu had fallen in love with Pei Yusheng.
But now, Liu Jingyu is the future Crown Princess and is going to marry the Crown Prince. As for the past events, neither Liu Jingyu nor Pei Yusheng actually want to talk about this past event, especially in front of Pei Luoan.
Pei Yusheng was so angry that he blurted out the words. Not only did he say that Liu Jingyu had had an affair before, but he also mocked Liu Jingyu for not having a legitimate reason and not even worshipping the empress's spirit tablet. In the royal family, he was not very respectable.
"Bang!" No matter how well-mannered Pei Luoan was, he couldn't bear it any longer. He slammed the table heavily, glared at Pei Yusheng, and said word by word: "Second brother, what do you mean by that?"
Liu Jingyu's eyes turned red, she bit her lip, lowered her head, and felt very aggrieved. She looked really pitiful.
The hand under the sleeve tightly clenched the handkerchief, regretting that he did not expose the scandal between Qu Moying and Mr. He San, but instead let Pei Yusheng, the mad dog, bite him.
"Brother, I just find it strange. Today's host is Lady Jingyu County, but why are the ones who got into trouble the ones who are my and my uncle's people?" Pei Yusheng said angrily.
He Si was ruined. His ugly behavior just now was also seen by the ladies present. By then, the news would be spread all over his mother's family. He could not tolerate this.
"Brother, do you think this matter is related to the Liu Mansion?" Pei Luoan asked with a gloomy face, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Shouldn't Big Brother know better whether they are related or not? So many people framed Fourth Miss Qu because she is the future Aunt Wang. If she was just a young lady from the Qu family, who would spend so much effort to frame her? If someone hadn't sneaked in, this wouldn't have happened."
Pei Yusheng is now insisting on this point. He is in a bad situation with this matter, and he also wants to drag Pei Luoan into it.
Why did he let Pei Luoan watch his good show while acting as if he was not involved, and let Uncle Wang dislike him because of He Si's matter
Today, I have to bite Pei Luoan no matter what.
"Don't you think so, big brother? With so many places to go, how did that maid find Fourth Miss Qu all of a sudden? How is it possible if there wasn't someone in the mansion leading her? County Lord Jingyu has always been the most capable, otherwise the Empress wouldn't have taken a special liking to him. He will have to manage the Eastern Palace in the future, how could he not be able to manage a small Liu Mansion?"
"Second brother, are you going to force today's incident onto County Lord Jingyu?" Pei Luoan asked sternly.
"Is that so? Big brother, just go check it out. It was indeed He Si who caused the trouble today, and I will definitely not let her off, but does the Liu family really have no responsibility?" Pei Yusheng sneered and flicked his sleeves. "Miss Liu just said that she was not feeling well and was being helped back home. I was afraid something might happen, so I have already sent an eunuch over."
Pei Luoan's face darkened and he looked back at Liu Jingyu. If something happened to Liu Lanxin as well, it would really make people suspicious of the Liu Mansion.
"Ms. Liu was fine before, how come something happened suddenly?" Liu Jingyu was shocked and asked anxiously without bothering to pretend to be aggrieved.
"How should I know? Wasn't Fourth Miss Qu fine before? Who knows if there is any teacup left? What kind of drug could make people unconscious? Fortunately, Fourth Miss Qu only smelled it. If it was put into the water, it would be useless even if we moved to the upwind side. Someone might have succeeded."
Pei Yusheng has something in mind
After saying this, he looked at Liu Jingyu with annoyance. Although he didn't like Liu Jingyu much before, he also admired her a little. He thought that it would be good for her to become the Princess of Jing. At least she could help him look after the backyard. With her behavior, she could make his backyard stable, which would be the greatest help to him.
When the decree that Liu Jingyu was to marry the prince came out, he was still quite annoyed, as if this thing originally belonged to him, and even if he didn't want it that much, Pei Luoan couldn't snatch it away.
But now Pei Luoan not only robbed it, but also took it away. Pei Yusheng was unhappy and felt a little sorry when he saw Liu Jingyu.
Now, when I look at Liu Jingyu again, I suddenly feel that it is a good thing that I didn't marry her. This woman is a restless person.
Liu Jingyu really knew nothing about what happened today. Pei Yusheng didn't believe it. His mother had always said that Liu Jingyu was a resourceful man. Madam Liu had brought him up very well and she would definitely help him to stabilize the backyard in the future. Now even a banquet was turned out like this. What was that
"Lord Jingyu, Miss Liu is not feeling well. I will take her back to the palace and ask the imperial physician to see if she has been framed like Miss Qu Si. Bye."
After Pei Yusheng said this, he snorted rudely and turned away.
He had indeed sent a eunuch to Liu Lanxin before. This was the Liu Mansion, so Pei Yusheng would naturally be on guard.
Although the place was bustling with activity, Liu Lanxin did not come over. She remained seated in the ladies' section, watching the performance quietly, although the lady playing the piano did not look very enthusiastic.
The three most important people were not there, and the whole atmosphere was not right. The ladies below were all talking about it, and they had a feeling that something had gone wrong.
The eunuch passed on the message that Prince Jing was coming to take Liu Lanxin back. Liu Lanxin stood up and walked out holding the maid's hand.
The owner was not around at this time, and she was not familiar with the other ladies. She had just gotten to know a few of them, and they were people around Liu Jingyu, but now they were not around, and she didn't know where they went to get information...
"Your Highness, has something happened?" Liu Lanxin followed Pei Yusheng out. Seeing him walking in a hurry and looking angry, she knew that he was involved. The corners of her lips curled up slightly in a faint smile.
Behind the two of them, Qu Qiuyan followed from a distance with a look of grievance on her face. She didn't dare to come up, and the maid who was supporting her had her hands pinched blue by her.
She had planned to harm Qu Moying today, but she didn't expect that things would take such a big turn. All the evidence was in Qu Moying's hands. Miss He's plan was a joke.
Qu Qiuyan is no longer the Qu Qiuyan she used to be. She is glad that she did not say anything final at that time, otherwise she would be like the fourth Miss He at this time, and her only outcome would be death.
The King of England has already spoken, and Pei Yusheng’s statement was also very clear.
It was also because of Qu Qiuyan's self-righteous "testimony" that Pei Yusheng became angry. When they were about to go out, Qu Qiuyan, who had been trying to go up to him delicately, was pushed away by Pei Yusheng. If it hadn't been for her maid supporting her, she would have almost fallen. At this time, she didn't dare to go forward and followed him from a distance.
He was filled with resentment in his heart. If He Si, this idiot, wanted to plot against Qu Moying, why didn't he make his plot more solid? Why was he so useless
“Empress…” The maid was pinched so hard that tears welled up in her eyes, and she begged in a low voice with tears in her eyes.
Qu Qiuyan gritted her teeth and pinched her hard again
, he said in a low voice: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will have someone buy you off when I get back!"
The so-called bribery, of course, would not be done in a good way. Even though the maid was deeply hurt, she dared not say anything. She only hoped that the master would remember that she was her confidant and let her suffer less.
"Someone framed the fourth young lady of the Qu family and pushed the blame on the idiot He Si. Uncle Wang is angry." Pei Yusheng walked for a while and finally calmed down. He took a deep breath and said.
"What's going on?" The smile on Liu Lanxin's face faded.
Pei Yusheng looked at her serious expression and told her everything that had just happened. He was more willing to trust his fiancée than anyone else.
"This matter... County Lord Jingyu should have also intervened." Liu Lanxin said after a moment's hesitation.
"Of course she is. County Lady Jingyu has always had big ideas, but she is also a little stupid. She got away with it by doing what happened in her Liu Mansion." Pei Yusheng said indifferently.
Liu Lanxin smiled: "Your Highness, sometimes it's hard to say what happens in the inner court. If Fourth Miss Qu falls into the trap this time, she will be dead. The royal family will not let such news spread, right? Will those present keep their mouths shut? If they keep their mouths shut, naturally no one will talk about County Lord Jingyu's affairs."
Pei Yusheng frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Even if no one outside tells you, is it possible that the palace won't ask?"
"Why? This matter has its reasons, and every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Maybe she will feel that she is wronged. This matter happened in the Liu Mansion, which caused her banquet to fail, making people think that she is incompetent. The Queen may even compensate the county lady."
Liu Lanxin said leisurely, "As for some private gossip, County Lord Jingyu won't care."
"This woman... you have to be careful." Pei Yusheng didn't know if he could still think this way, and his face became colder and colder. "I got angry in there just now, and this woman must be having a hard time now."
"Your Highness said that I'm not feeling well?" Liu Lanxin asked with a rolling gaze, "Then I'll go back and say I'm not feeling well. Please ask Your Highness to get me a royal doctor."
Pei Yusheng nodded: "This king thinks so too. Anyway, one thing is going to happen, and two things are going to happen, so we have to make sure they don't suffer any harm!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Just make a bigger noise." Liu Lanxin said with a meaningful smile.
Pei Yusheng laughed out loud at this, sweeping away his previous gloom, and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, Miss Qu Si has encountered such a big problem, so of course my future princess will also encounter problems. The three of you will soon marry into the royal family, and now two of you have encountered problems in Liu Mansion. It depends on what the queen thinks."
This princess is really to my liking.
"What a pity for Fourth Miss He!" Liu Lanxin said with a smile. She heard that Fourth Miss He was also interested in entering Prince Jing's Mansion, but Prince Jing's principal wife had not yet been decided, so it was not convenient for him to take in more concubines.
"What's a pity? She's just a fool. She almost got me into trouble. Miss Liu and I are in tune with each other." Pei Yusheng smiled, his eyes swept over Liu Lanxin's eyebrows, and asked casually, "Why is the maid who was with you gone? I think she looks good and smart. She looks like someone who can get things done."
He actually had the courage to reach out and stop me at that time. That showed a lot of courage.
