"Second brother doesn't want to go?" Qu Qiuyan asked in surprise.
"Your second brother is willing to go. Minister Qu said... when Fourth Miss Qu gets married, your second brother will have to carry her on his back." Pei Yusheng narrowed his eyes and said unhappily.
"Fourth sister? She... is she still dissatisfied with me, so she is like this?" Qu Qiuyan smiled bitterly, her expression darkened, "What happened back then was just because I was young and ignorant. My lord, I am willing to go to the Qu Mansion and plead with Fourth Sister in person, hoping that she can let Second Brother help you make this trip."
As Qu Qiuyan spoke, she knelt down, put her head on the ground, and sobbed softly.
She is extremely respectful and gentle, without any of her previous arrogance and rudeness. She has been well educated.
Pei Yusheng was quite satisfied. "If you ask, will your fourth sister agree? The matter between your mother and her mother has become like this. It can be said to be a feud between life and death!"
“My mother… is indeed sorry to fourth sister. Even I am sorry to fourth sister. I was blinded by my mother and always thought that what she said was right. I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect that it was mother who was wrong. I am ashamed of fourth sister.” Qu Qiuyan covered her face and cried.
"You really don't care about your biological mother?" Pei Yusheng asked after a moment of hesitation.
"My mother died at the hands of my uncle, and I feel deeply guilty for the wrong things she did before. If I had known that my mother was such a person, I would not have been hostile to my fourth sister, let alone ignored her and had a weak relationship with her sisters." Qu Qiuyan said while crying.
This sounded reasonable and in line with Qu Qiuyan's current temperament. Compared with her previous stubbornness, the Qu Qiuyan's subtle flattery was the key to regaining her favor.
"How likely is it that you can tell Miss Qu Si now?" Pei Yusheng asked after lightly tapping his fingers on the table.
"I don't know, but I will sincerely ask Fourth Sister to agree." Qu Qiuyan wiped her tears and raised her red eyes with a hint of affection and sadness. "What I did before was wrong. This time, even if I kneel down and beg Fourth Sister, I will make her agree."
Pei Yusheng pondered for a moment, then looked at Qu Qiuyan's face and became somewhat interested.
If he wanted to be an enemy of the crown prince, the best way would be to win over Pei Yuanjun, or even if he hadn't really won him over, at least he would have to make a superficial gesture.
My mother once said that no matter what the facts are, as long as it seems to be logical and possible, then there are infinite possibilities. What we need to do is to make these infinite possibilities bigger and more realistic.
If there is a connection, then people will definitely use this connection to their advantage. If there is no connection, then they will try their best to pull it up.
As long as there is a trace of connection, countless connections can be drawn. His mother's experience has told him again and again that the most important thing to do at this time is to get together with Pei Yuanjun.
Pei Yuanjun is a difficult person to implicate, and Pei Yusheng doesn't dare to be too cunning in front of Pei Yuanjun. Qu Qiuyan's current performance is a good premise.
Although Qu Qiuyan and Qu Moying are sisters, their relationship is not good and they also have a lot of resentment. The grievances of the previous generation are not just the previous generation's. They have also fought a lot with each other. Pei Yusheng originally wanted to rely on Qu Qiuyan to get in touch with her, but Qu Qiuyan was not motivated.
Yu's matter came to light
, upon closer inspection, it turns out that these sisters are not only not successful, but they are also the daughters of the murderer of their mother.
Qu Qiuyan has always been arrogant and not one who is willing to give in. But this was only Qu Qiuyan's previous character. Pei Yusheng is quite satisfied with Qu Qiuyan's current character. The nanny sent by his mother is very good. During this period of time, Qu Qiuyan has not only become much more obedient, but is also no longer as rude and arrogant as before.
In the mansion, he was even gentler towards Qu Caiyue, who was not as good as him.
This Qu Qiuyan is completely different from the previous Qu Qiuyan, as if she has been reborn. Maybe she can really renew her sisterhood with Qu Moying.
The biological mothers of the two had a grudge against each other, and Yu was now dead, but the two were related by blood after all. With Qu Zhizhen's help in talking, maybe Pei Yuanjun could be made to stand on his side in the end. Even if that was not possible, at least Pei Yuanjun could be made to appear to be on his side.
This is a big help!
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but warm up, and his expression became gentle. He reached out and pulled Qu Qiuyan up: "Get up and talk first, the ground is cold."
"Your Highness..." Qu Qiuyan was about to cry again, extremely excited.
"Stand up!" Pei Yusheng said, pulling Qu Qiuyan to sit beside him, "How confident are you about this matter?"
"Fifty percent!" Qu Qiuyan thought for a moment, then looked at Pei Yusheng and said affirmatively.
"Then go and give it a try. If you need anything, go and tell your second sister." Pei Yusheng's voice became gentler. Although he didn't like Qu Caiyue, Qu Caiyue was a very obedient person. Whatever he said was what it was, and there would never be any mistakes. In some places, it was even better than he thought.
I didn't expect that the second Miss Qu, who was ignorant of etiquette and of low status, had such an ability.
Much better than the general management.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qu Qiuyan lowered her head and said softly, hiding the resentment in her eyes.
"If you help me well, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. Compared with other people, you are the one I truly care about. But you can't take my thoughts and trample on them, letting my feelings go to waste." Pei Yusheng said sincerely.
A pair of handsome eyes looked at Qu Qiuyan, just like the day when they were in Qu's house and they were in love.
At that time, except for not agreeing to marry Qu Qiuyan, Pei Yusheng would give in to her in many things and fulfill her wishes. As a result, Qu Qiuyan became very stubborn and thought that she was indispensable. Even though she entered Prince Jing's Mansion with a low position later, it was only because of a coincidence and Qu Moying secretly harmed her.
"My lord, I...will do everything for your sake and will never dare to have the slightest complaint." Qu Qiuyan's tears began to fall again, one string after another sliding down her fair face, touching her heart.
Pei Yusheng held her in his arms, lowered his eyes and comforted her: "It's okay, even if your fourth sister is against you, she won't really do anything to you. You are my favorite concubine now, and her future may still depend on you. You just need to treat her well, and she will definitely not go too far."
"I...will listen to you, Your Highness." Qu Qiuyan cried as she leaned tightly against Pei Yusheng's arms. "Your Highness, when I go to the Qu Mansion later, can someone close to you accompany me?"
"Why do you want the people around me?" Although Pei Yusheng wanted his people to go with him, he was afraid that Qu Qiuyan would get angry.
When he came up, he made everyone unhappy again, but when Qu Qiuyan brought it up this time, he was very surprised.
Sending your own people there is equivalent to sending a surveillance person over.
This is something that the old Qu Qiuyan would never have mentioned.
"Everything I have done is for the prince, and I would never hide it from him. If the people around him were here, I would be braver and would do a better job for him. I love you wholeheartedly, and your people can see it." Qu Qiuyan looked up at Pei Yusheng's face with affection, and said while crying.
Looking at Qu Qiuyan like this, Pei Yusheng felt a little distressed. He thought he had been too harsh on Qu Qiuyan during this period. He would have to ask someone to tell Qu Caiyue not to let Qu Qiuyan down. After all, this was the first woman he had a crush on, and compared to other women, Qu Qiuyan was naturally different.
If he hadn't done it on purpose, he wouldn't have allowed Qu Qiuyan to act so recklessly.
Let me send someone over, this is to rely on me, and let me see her sincerity, Pei Yusheng likes this feeling very much, his voice unconsciously softened a lot: "Don't worry, I will send someone to protect you, and no one will bully you."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Qu Qiuyan struggled for a bit, as if she wanted to stand up to express her gratitude, but Pei Yusheng embraced her tightly in his arms.
Looking at the beautiful face of the woman in his arms, Pei Yusheng was very satisfied. Although he had concubines in his own mansion, they were far inferior to those in Pei Luoan's prince's mansion. Just for this point, Pei Yusheng felt very satisfied.
At first glance, none of the people in Pei Luoan's mansion are good. None of them is worry-free. Even Liu Jingyu, who married into the mansion this time, is a scheming person, otherwise she would not have given up on herself in the first place. It's okay here for herself. Whether it's Qu Qiuyan or Liu Lanxin who is about to move in, they are the ones she really wants to marry.
In this respect, he was much better than Pei Luoan. Thinking of his pride, he felt more compassion for Qu Qiuyan in his arms. He patted her back gently, feeling very happy...
"The third young lady has returned home?" Qu Moying raised her eyebrows and looked at Wu Ma, who was sent by the lady to inform her.
"Yes, the Third Miss has returned home and is now at the Madame Dowager's place. The Madame Dowager asked an old servant to come and invite you over. The Second Master is also coming over, and the same is true for the East Mansion." Aunt Wu said with a smile. She had just seen Qu Qiuyan and felt that the Third Miss was completely different from before.
He was polite and gentle, as if he had become a different person, and his behavior was completely different from before.
"Father has passed away too?" Qu Moying asked again, her face calm, as if what Nanny Zhou had said to her before had not caused her any trouble at all.
"We've already gone there. We're just waiting for you now." said Wu Ma. Her coming here now also represented her appreciation for the Fourth Young Lady.
"Madame, please go back first. I'll come over later." Qu Moying nodded.
"Then I will go back first, and Miss Four should come over soon." Wu Ma nodded and sighed as she turned to the door. She didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to let Miss Three and Miss Four meet.
But this message was passed down by the Second Master. After all, she was a servant. Even if she was the personal nanny beside the Lady Dowager, she was powerless when facing the Second Master.
The head of the West Mansion has never been the Madam, but the Second Master, even in the inner courtyard...
