"What is it? You tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." Qi Xiangyu patted his chest and promised.
“That day I saw a woman in Liu Mansion. She was wearing clothes that seemed to belong to my cousin. The clothes had been sent to the farm and were sandwiched among some brocades that my cousin gave me. Later I found out that it was accidentally put there, so I had it returned... Now that I see this dress, I wonder who is wearing it.” Qu Moying suppressed the smile on his face.
"The former Crown Princess?" Qi Xiangyu was stunned and the smile on her face slowly faded.
"Yes, I only saw a figure, but I couldn't see the details clearly. Could you trouble Miss Qi to help me check this matter?" Qu Moying said softly, "There were so many people that day that I couldn't recognize him even if I saw his face. Besides, I only saw a small profile, so I couldn't recognize him clearly."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. The Liu Mansion is in chaos right now, and I'll go and help my cousin deal with it. I'm sure she'll be happy to do it." Qi Xiangyu said with a big heart.
"Is County Lord Jingyu okay?"
"After entering the palace that day, I heard that he was reprimanded by the Queen Mother. He was labeled as incompetent and fell ill after returning." Qi Xiangyu said.
Qu Moying was not surprised, this was something that was expected. Liu Jingyu hid behind others and made trouble, thinking that she would not be found out. However, she did not expect that she would be reprimanded in the end. She was reprimanded before she even married into the royal family. How much face did Liu Jingyu, the future Crown Princess, have left
The Queen Mother has always been a kind-hearted person with a bitter heart. When the previous events and the current events are put together and all fall on Liu Jingyu's shoulders, I'm afraid it will be more than just a reprimand!
Liu Jingyu shot himself in the foot, allowing Liu Lanxin to take advantage of the situation.
In the final analysis, this matter was her own fault. Qu Moying didn't have time to think about what kind of punishment she received from the Queen, but this matter was not over yet...
After giving away the ruby jewelry, Qi Xiangyu breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to say goodbye to Qu Moying. She was originally going to Liu Mansion.
Madam Qi was worried about Liu Jingyu, so she asked her to go and see him. Even though she was extremely reluctant, she didn't dare to say this in front of the old lady, so she had to accept the task.
Qu Moying sent her to the gate of the courtyard.
"Miss Qu Si, is there any special relationship between you and your cousin?" Qi Xiangyu suddenly asked this question.
"Why do you ask?" Qu Moying asked with a smile.
"I don't know either. I just find it strange. Grandma cares so much about my cousin, but she never takes the initiative to visit. It seems that since that time... our family has never taken the initiative again, not only grandma, but also my uncle and others." Qi Xiangyu felt indescribably strange.
In the past, if something small happened to Liu Jingyu, her grandmother would mobilize a large number of people to go there, fearing that she would be wronged or have something wrong. If she was injured, good medicinal materials would be sent to the Liu Mansion like water. Everyone knew that her grandmother loved Liu Jingyu the most.
Why is she so restrained now? When grandma talked about Liu Jingyu, she was clearly full of love and worry, but she also said that she was not feeling well and it was inconvenient for her to travel. Didn’t I see that grandma had consulted a doctor these days
"I don't know what they mean. In fact, the past is the past. There is no point in thinking about it anymore!" Qu Moying sighed.
She and her mother were both born with a miserable life.
Her mother was abandoned by her family, and she didn't know why. She went to look at the place again, and found only a swaddling cloth with a torn strap, and nothing else. But from the looks of it, she must have been robbed or kidnapped.
The mother's biological son is also missing.
As things happened one after another, he began to take the blame from the Duke of Qi's Mansion lightly.
The person who has the most right to say "no" to the Duke of Qi's Mansion is not me, but my mother. Unfortunately, no amount of compensation will be of any use because my mother is no longer here.
She lived in the backyard of the Jiangnan Yue family for more than ten years. After she got married and had children, she disappeared. In her short life, she didn't know who her biological parents were until she died, and she didn't know that she was "compensated"...
"Miss Qu Fourth's words sound like those of an older elder." Qi Xiangyu said with a smile. She was now familiar with Qu Moying and could talk to her. "Instead of calling you Miss Qu Fourth all the time, why don't I, relying on my age, call you Sister Qu?"
After spending some time together and considering what happened yesterday, she was involved. Qi Xiangyu was very touched that Qu Moying actually believed her and couldn't help but want to call her sister.
"Sister Qi!" Qu Moying was also very straightforward.
"Okay, Sister Qu, I will take advantage of you for a few days." Qi Xiangyu smiled happily, waved to Qu Moying, turned and left.
The so-called taking advantage these days was naturally because after Qu Moying married the King of England, her status and position did not allow others to call her sister casually.
Even when the future Crown Princess Liu Jingyu faced Qu Moying, she was inferior in seniority.
Qi Xiangyu went to Liu's house after leaving the mansion. The maid led her to Liu Jingyu's yard, entered the house, and then went to the inner room. She saw Liu Jingyu's pale face on the bed. It had only been a day since she last saw him, but Liu Jingyu, who was full of energy yesterday, seemed to have suddenly become haggard. Qi Xiangyu was really shocked.
She thought that Liu Jingyu's claim of feeling unwell was just an excuse, just to cover up what others said.
Looking at it this way, it turned out to be true. There was a strong smell of medicine in the house and a bowl of strong medicine on the table.
"Is my cousin in good health? What did the doctor say?" Qi Xiangyu said after sitting down on a chair nearby.
"It's okay. I need to rest for a while." Liu Jingyu whispered gently, "Cousin, I really didn't handle yesterday's matter well. I almost got you into trouble."
"This is not your fault. It's all because of that He Si." Seeing how miserable she was, Qi Xiangyu, who had always been at odds with her, calmed down a lot at this time and comforted her, "That He Si is such a piece of shit. How dare she do such a thing? Isn't she afraid that she might even die? And she has phlegm disease!"
The news about He Si's phlegm disease was spreading outside, and everyone said that she lost her composure at that time because of the phlegm disease.
Qi Xiangyu felt really unsatisfied. How could such a thing be explained by a phlegm disease? She was still waiting for the sequel to this matter. He Si's words and deeds that day seemed to be trying to drag her into this matter.
Once again, I am thankful that Sister Qu is smart and realized that I did not harm her.
"Miss He Si is dead!" Liu Jingyu whispered.
Qi Xiangyu was stunned and looked at Liu Jingyu in astonishment, "What... did you say?"
"Miss He Si is already dead. Cousin, do you think she could have survived after harming so many people and falling into the hands of King Ying?" Liu Jingyu looked at Qi Xiangyu calmly and said again, his eyes dim and somewhat creepy.
“But…but isn’t this the one that King Jing took away?” Qi Xiangyu said in shock.
"What's the difference? Could it be that Prince Jing will still protect her? The facts are there. Even if Fourth Miss He talks too much, it's useless. If Prince Jing doesn't cut the Gordian knot, this matter might involve him. Look at Miss Liu from the General's Mansion. She reacted so quickly. Isn't it because of this reason
. "
Liu Jingyu curled his lips sarcastically.
While Liu Lanxin was helping her and King Jing escape, she also severely cheated her. She felt so angry that her heart ached when she thought about it. She originally thought that it would take some time for a woman with no roots in the capital to break into the circle of young ladies from aristocratic families. She didn't expect that Liu Lanxin was such a ruthless person.
"Miss Liu? Isn't she... isn't she sick?" Qi Xiangyu was so shocked by the news that she could hardly speak. She opened her mouth before she could utter her own words.
"It's just an excuse. You arranged part of the things in the former mansion. You felt that something was wrong and made the delicate Miss Liu feel uncomfortable. After returning, you invited the imperial physician to come over with great fanfare, saying that she had eaten something unclean here. And then there's the matter of Fourth Miss Qu. Cousin, I'm afraid you are really involved in this matter."
Liu Jingyu coughed twice.
Qi Xiangyu was stunned. "Wait... wait, what is really going to involve me?"
"Everyone thinks that you and I failed to supervise the banquet properly and let He Si take advantage of it to cause trouble. Then there were the future Princess Jing and Princess Ying, and they thought we were just fanning the flames and deliberately watching He Si stir up trouble."
Liu Jingyu said again.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How...how would I know about He Si's affairs? It has nothing to do with Miss Liu." Qi Xiangyu was very annoyed by what she said.
"Of course I know that my cousin wouldn't do that, but... others don't know! Cousin, you should explain everything to my grandmother after you return home, so that my grandmother's family won't be implicated because of me. Even if there is anything wrong with this matter, I will bear it alone. I can't let my grandmother get involved."
Liu Jingyu coughed softly again, her face paled visibly, she closed her eyes for a while, and then opened them again, "Cousin, I can't move around right now, when I get better, I will definitely go to my grandmother's house and tell her about this, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be too late by then, it's better for my grandmother's family to make plans early!"
"I know. Don't worry. I will tell my grandmother about this." Qi Xiangyu looked at Liu Jingyu's face and said half-doubtfully.
She had always been wary of this cousin, always thinking that this matter would not be so simple, did Liu Jingyu say this on purpose? But the news just given to her was too shocking, and she could not digest it for a while, so she had to report this matter to her grandmother.
"Thank you, cousin." Liu Jingyu said softly.
"This is exactly what I should do. Your house is in a mess right now. I will help you deal with what happened at yesterday's banquet."
When we had lunch yesterday, no one was there, the flower stand was in disarray, and the things prepared for the banquet were probably unusable. All the things were piled together and really needed to be sorted out.
Liu Jingyu is ill and Madam Liu is lying in bed. Even if there are concubines, they cannot come forward. Qi Xiangyu really has to help deal with this matter. It was she who helped deal with this matter in the beginning, and now she can handle it with ease.
While dealing with these matters, Qi Xiangyu did not forget to ask her servants to inquire about the woman wearing "cousin's" clothes mentioned by Qu Moying.
After asking someone to describe it, Qi Xiangyu sent someone down. Not long after, there was actually news that the clothes were found in a place where the women rested, hanging on the screen. There was a trace of water stain on the corner of the skirt, which must have been accidentally stained. Then she changed into other clothes she brought with her, but forgot to take this dress, so it was left here...
Qi Xiangyu was overjoyed and quickly put down what she was doing to ask about this matter. Unexpectedly, this question actually led to a major incident...
