“Miss, I still feel that…” Nanny Zhou lowered her head and said bitterly.
Yu Dong discovered something from the conversation between the two people. "Madam Zhou, in fact, what you think is not necessarily true. Look at what the Ling Anbo Mansion has become now. Does Miss Ji Er really think it's good for Miss Ji to become a concubine? Look at Miss Ji San, her whereabouts are unknown. What has Ling Anbo become now? Can't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see all this?"
"There was also the previous incident of swallowing up Miss Ji's dowry, the second branch of the Ji family's harsh criticism of the first branch, and the disappearance of Miss Ji's third branch, and the quick appointment of a new Crown Princess... If he really had the will, would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really not take any action?"
"Madam Zhou, look at what happened today. How could Xiefeng, a maid, get such great protection from Concubine Ji? Think about it, is this the dignity a maid can have? After such a big incident, even Madam Ji was punished to go to Qingyun Temple. How could a maid's reputation be greater than that of a lady? Moreover, she is the biological mother of Concubine Ji?"
Yuchun also noticed something and joined the ranks of those trying to persuade Madam Zhou.
Qu Moying picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea tasted bitter, but it made her clearly aware of what she had to do. If Nanny Zhou really couldn't trust her completely, then she would let Nanny Zhou leave and let her live out her days far away from her. If she continued to be so naive and self-righteous, she would only hurt others and herself.
Being a good person doesn't necessarily mean doing good things!
"Madam Zhou, if this maid named Xiefeng came to see you in private and told you... many things are not what you see, and many things are unavoidable, and asked you to do something that you think is right and cannot tell me, but the final result is to harm me, will you do it?"
Qu Moying raised a cold smile and looked at Nanny Zhou.
"Old slave... Old slave..."
"Madame Zhou, what you see may not be true. Look at the Ling Anbo Mansion. It used to be so beautiful. My cousin, my younger sister, and my uncle were all happily waiting for the day when my cousin would get married. At that time, no one would have thought that after the great joy, there would be great sorrow and a bloody storm! Now it seems that all this was really not premeditated? Maybe my cousin will die with regrets? If she is crying and wailing in the bloody prison of the nine springs now, can you hear her, Madame Zhou?"
Qu Moying looked at a certain place in the sky, narrowed his eyes, and smiled slowly, but this smile was so cold that it made people feel scared!
Nanny Zhou's face turned pale and she was about to collapse. Yudong kindly reached out and helped her up.
"Madam, do you think it's impossible?" Qu Moying turned to look at Madam Zhou, with an inexplicable gloom in her smile. "If I hadn't called off the engagement at that time, and I died afterwards, would Madam Zhou also think that the Yongning Marquis' son loved me deeply, and my death was just an accident, which the Yongning Marquis' son didn't want!"
Nanny Zhou was very clear about the marriage between Qu Moying and Marquis Yongning. Even if the Marquis Yongning's son really married Miss You, the Miss would surely have a tragic fate in the end.
But at that time, everyone said that the Prince of Yongning was a good man. She was in the Ling'an Earl's Mansion at the time, and she heard people talk about it again and again. She felt very gratified and thought that the lady was in heaven and had found such a good marriage for her young lady so early. But what was the reality
This Yongning Marquis's son secretly harbored evil intentions, but in the end, they were torn apart by the young lady...
Aunt Zhou
She couldn't help but look at the person in front of her. The young lady in front of her was timid. If you only took a glance at her, you would only see her timid appearance, which made her look harmless and even pitiful. Nanny Zhou had seen many daughters of wealthy families, but it seemed that very few of them could make people feel pity at first sight. But for this young lady, she could see her coldness and cunningness.
She should be scared!
But she was not afraid. Not only was she not afraid, but even her previous tension and fear slowly subsided.
One thing she always believed was that the young lady was good and smart!
Although she is not as heroic as the second young lady, she is more resolute, and her delicate appearance makes her look more similar.
Watching Nanny Zhou calm down little by little, and then slowly push away Yu Dong's hand, the smile in Qu Moying's eyes deepened. After so many things that had happened, she believed that Nanny Zhou would get over it.
Being too straightforward about some things is not only useless, but can also bring disaster to those around you.
"Miss, what do you say we should do?" Nanny Zhou calmed down, her face slowly regained color, and she spoke slowly.
"If Xie Feng doesn't come to us, then we will go to her." Qu Mojing smiled appreciatively and nodded on the table.
"Is this old servant going to find Xiefeng?" Nanny Zhou's eyes widened.
"No, you don't have to go find her directly. Just give her a hint. In the future, she might come to find Madam Zhou. I just hope Madam Zhou understands... She is definitely not innocent... That's all!" Qu Moying said meaningfully, with a dark look in his eyes...
Coincidentally, the maid next to Xie Feng is Qu Qiuyan's former maid Qing He, but now her name is Ming Xin...
The Prince's Mansion was a place she couldn't reach at that time, but she gradually found ways to insert nails there.
A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole, and at that time and place, this was all she could do. When she knew that her strength was far from enough, she made herself patient, and more patient...
She will use these nails when closing the net!
"Girl, don't be angry, have some food first!" Mingxin brought the food basket in. It didn't look heavy, completely different from the heavy baskets she carried in the past.
"What? I've lost my power, and even the kitchen is watching the dishes carefully. They don't make anything good for me to eat?" Xie Feng said angrily.
"Girl, the concubine wants you to clear your mind for a few days." Mingxin whispered, opening the lid of the food basket and taking out a bowl of rice and a tofu soup.
The rice didn't seem to be very hot, and there were a few large pieces of rice crust, as if they were just poured out from the bottom of the pot. There was a layer of black, greasy stuff floating on the bowl of tofu soup, and there were also some other smells. It's not that these smells were very unpleasant, but that these smells shouldn't appear in tofu soup.
It feels weird.
"Qingqingxin, why can't she be clear-minded? It's New Year's Day, but she actually made me eat such vegetarian food. What does she want to do?" Xiefeng came over, picked up the soup spoon and scooped it in twice. Suddenly, he scooped out a piece of meat, a piece of braised, greasy and fatty meat. "This... what is this? This is what made me eat vegetarian food!"
Xie Feng yelled angrily, threw the spoon in his hand into the soup bowl, almost smashing it, his eyes almost blazing with fire, and raised his legs.
Just go outside.
Ming Xin saw that things were not going well, so she rushed over and hugged her legs, begging, "Miss, if you go now, it will definitely not be good. The Concubine Queen's intention is that the kitchen will definitely get worse. This should not be the Concubine Queen's intention. You can talk to her when you have a chance."
"It's not her intention. I think she is ungrateful. If I hadn't..." Qi Thief was angry, but she hadn't lost her mind yet. She stopped talking here and said, "I'll go to the kitchen now and see what they can do to me."
"Miss, you'd better not go out at this time, otherwise the Concubine may really punish you. Just because the reasons were not sufficient before doesn't mean they are not sufficient now." Mingxin hurriedly advised again. She used to be a head maid and had served Qu Qiuyan, who was not easy to serve. Her words were extremely tactful, but very reasonable.
Xie Feng was not stupid after all, she stopped walking, and although she was still full of resentment on her face, she did not rush out again. The previous matter was indeed not settled yet, and she should not make the concubine angry again at this time.
She looked back at the food on the table. In the past, even the lowest servants were better off than her, but now she was asked to eat this kind of food. She really couldn't swallow this.
But he had to swallow it even if he couldn't. Xie Feng turned around angrily and sat down at the table.
"Miss, now is not the time to worry about this. It's good enough to be able to eat these. At least no one here will really harm you, right?" Ming Xin saw that she listened to his advice, so he stood up and walked over to comfort her, reaching out to serve her a bowl of rice, "I heard that you were the Crown Princess's former lover, so it's reasonable for the Concubine to be wary of you."
"She...how dare she do this to me!" Xie Feng gritted his teeth.
"Miss, please speak softly. If someone hears, there will be another quarrel. The only master in this mansion is the concubine, so you should be careful." Mingxin sighed and said, "Miss, even if you don't care about me, you have to think about yourself. Some things may seem impossible to you, but they may not be impossible!"
These words made Xie Feng shudder. The anger on her face receded like a tide. If the concubine really wanted to harm her, it seemed... there was nothing she could do
"She is not the only master in this mansion. A new Crown Princess will be coming in soon, and there is also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xie Feng's momentum has dropped a bit.
"Will the new Crown Princess use the old one? I'm afraid she will be even worse than me then! If you have the ability, now is the best opportunity. You have to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really love you!" Ming Xin sighed and pushed the rice in front of Xie Feng, "Girl, please have some food first! Don't think it's not good, at least you can eat enough, right! When I was hungry before, having a bowl of rice like this was a lifesaver!"
"You used to... I heard that you worked in a wealthy family. How come you were sold out?" Xie Feng was distracted by her words. He looked Mingxin up and down and asked.
"It's similar to the young lady's. I have a good life. There is another one who knew too much. He was poisoned at the time and thrown into a mass grave after his death." Mingxin sighed again, "I have figured it out since then. It is better not to know any secrets. If you know them, you have to keep them in your hands and make people really afraid of them. Instead of relying on a few words to show your loyalty, you end up being poisoned and dying inexplicably, and in a filthy way!"
