Qu Zhizhen was alarmed and specially sent someone to summon Qu Moying. The most important thing was to ask her who she had offended and why someone would suddenly be so bold as to do such a thing.
Qu Zhizhen certainly knew that something had happened to the Crown Princess's dowry, but thinking of the King of England's reputation, he felt that no one would dare to do that.
He didn't expect that such a thing would actually happen. He was angry and annoyed for a moment, and called Qu Moying over to scold him, blaming Qu Moying for his mistakes in every word.
Qu Moying just listened as if he wasn't listening, it went in one ear and out the other, as if he didn't hear anything.
Long before she understood her life story, she had no good impression of Qu Zhizhen. There was always something wrong with this adopted father, but she couldn't find out what it was for a while.
Among the children in the mansion, Qu Moying had previously thought that he favored Qu Mingcheng the most, but it seemed a little strange to send Qu Mingcheng away this time.
He is not young anymore. If he doesn't care about his own children, how can he care about others? It's also a strange thing.
Qu Moying already knew vaguely that this cheap father might be hiding something important.
After Qu Zhicheng's reprimand, he expressed his concern again, saying that he was so angry because he was afraid that Qu Moying would be wronged after marrying him. He also used Liu Jingyu's case as a reference, saying that what people said outside was unpleasant, saying that she was not legitimate as the Crown Princess...
Qu Moying found these words funny. Liu Jingyu was the Crown Princess, so this was forcing herself and Liu Jingyu to be together, which could be considered as clearing up Liu Jingyu's doubts.
I really don’t know which side this cheap father is on.
After a long and earnest explanation, Qu Zhizhen asked Qu Moying to go back first. After sitting alone in the study for a long time, he picked up a pen and wrote down everything that had happened today. At the end, he added some of his own speculations.
He called a trusted servant and asked him to take his token and the letter and leave.
When the servant went out, he met Yu Dong, the maid beside Qu Moying. Neither of them paid attention to each other, one of them rushed over and the other rushed out, and they bumped into each other directly.
Yudong is a woman. She was knocked back two steps and fell to the ground, unable to stand up for a while.
"Are you okay? Why are you rushing around at this time?" The servant glared at Yudong with a narrowed eye, without any intention of reaching out to pull Yudong.
"What are you doing? Why are you rushing over here? I'm just walking." Yu Dong supported his waist and stood up, reaching out to grab the servant's hand, "It just so happens that you're out, let's go, let's go see the young lady together."
The servant shook off Yu Dong's hand in panic: "Why do you want to see the young lady? I have important things to do for the second master, and I can't leave now."
"You have to go even if you can't. Our young lady lost something important just now." Yu Dong put her hands on her hips. It was obvious at a glance that she was a maid who was relying on the power of others to bully others. She glared at the servant and didn't give in.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If the Fourth Miss lost something, why can't she go find it herself? Why is she looking for me? Get out of the way. I have important things to do. If you delay the Second Master's business, even the Fourth Miss will be held responsible." The servant was not to be outdone. He also looked up, and was really irritated by Yu Dong.
A little maid can use the Fourth Young Miss as a tiger's skin. Our Second Master is the real tiger. Why should he be suppressed by a little maid
"Hey, our young lady is the one who lost something just now. Didn't you also
Are you here? If not you, who else should I ask?" Yu Dong refused to give in and blocked the way and refused to let go.
The servant was anxious, thinking of the important matters of his second master, so he was unwilling to talk nonsense with Yu Dong. He pulled Yu Dong's hand away and said, "Just get out of the way. The fourth lady's affairs are not as important as the second master's affairs. You are really taking chicken feathers as an arrow, and you don't even look at who is the master here."
Yudong staggered and nearly fell down again as he was pulled by him. He finally managed to hold on to a tree by the roadside and looked back to see that the boy had already run away.
A sneer appeared on his face involuntarily. He was really in a hurry. Looking at his anxious look, he was going to do "business".
No wonder the lady asked me to wait here, it turns out there was really something going on.
In the evening, news came from outside about this servant. Yu Dong went to stop him and felt that there was something wrong with the servant. He asked someone to watch him outside until he entered a pawnshop to pawn something.
The dignified Qu Shangshu Mansion actually needs to pawn things? This is really unexpected.
The secret guard later went in deliberately and pretended to be a leisurely person. He also pawned something and asked about the servant. The people in the pawnshop said they didn't know him.
"Miss, do you want to check who owns the shop?" Yu Dong asked. He wanted to ask without making a sound, but he was afraid he couldn't do it now. However, the young lady was going to marry into the Prince of England's palace soon, so it shouldn't be a problem to borrow the help of Eunuch Ji Hai.
"Don't move for now. Now that we know of such a place, we can slowly investigate it." Qu Moying shook his head and said thoughtfully.
In fact, she had been keeping an eye on this adoptive father, but had never taken any action. Now that she had finally taken some action, she could not alert the enemy at this time.
If this stepfather really has something hidden from everyone in the mansion, it must be something very important. For such a long time, this stepfather has seldom contacted that place. If it was just a coincidence, it would be understandable, but if it was just such a place, then this place cannot be underestimated and one must be more careful.
"Have someone keep an eye on that place. Don't ask questions proactively. Just keep an eye on it." Qu Moying said.
"I understand." Yudong nodded in agreement.
"How's the investigation going on outside?" After saying this, Qu Moying became concerned about his own important event of the day.
"The dowry has been delivered. Nanny Yan said that things are in good order at the Prince of Ying's mansion. Nothing will go wrong. Don't worry." Yuxiu said on the side. She is also helping to manage things now. She has lent a hand to Nanny Yan as her deputy. Her injuries have basically healed, so she can help at this time.
Nanny Yan went to the King of England's palace to deliver the dowry. She had just counted it there and just came back.
Qu Moying nodded with satisfaction. Yuxiu was indeed a capable person. Having her by his side now was a great help to him. When they arrived at Prince Ying's Palace, Yuxiu would take over Yudong's business. Yudong would be away for a while and then return as a eunuch.
After all, Yudong is a man, and he can't always be a maid beside Qu Moying.
The two people are now alternating hands.
"The man has been caught, but before he could be interrogated, he took poison and committed suicide." This was not the only piece of news Yuxiu received. The following news was not so peaceful.
"I know." Qu Moying nodded indifferently, "Since you dare to do such a thing, you are certainly not afraid of being caught. The assassins must die."
This kind of thing has become a big deal.
It's a small matter, no one dares to be contaminated by such a thing, so using a death guard is the best.
If nothing happens, the Death Guards will be fine too. If anything happens, it can't be traced back to them.
"They actually used the Death Guards. Miss, who do you think it could be?" Yu Dong took a breath of cold air. The Death Guards were not something that ordinary people could keep.
"It's possible. No matter who it is, if they dare to do this, there will always be damage." Qu Moying said coldly, with a chill in his eyes.
In fact, there are quite a few people who can be death guards. She herself knows several of them, not to mention Pei Luoan and Pei Yusheng, who may not even look down on such petty fights. She prefers Liu Jingyu and Liu Lanxin. Of course, it is also possible that there are other people who are trying to take advantage of the situation.
When a person dies, the water becomes disturbed. It could be anyone, but there is no evidence for anyone.
"What is your Highness's plan?" Qu Moying was not in a hurry at all. Since Pei Yuanjun was able to get people to take action in advance, there would naturally be follow-up measures.
This matter will not hurt anyone.
"I heard that they also caught some suspicious people. I don't know which family they are from. It seems that they are from some group. I didn't hear clearly which family they are from."
Yuxiu thought about it and reported.
"Which team?" Qu Moying's heart moved.
"That's what they said. The news from there didn't explain it clearly. They just said that these people were taken away by the Ministry of Justice. They seemed to be suspected of hiding something!" Yu Xiu thought for a moment and repeated the news from the Prince of Ying's Mansion. "If Miss wants to know more, I will go and find out."
"Let's leave it at that for now!" Qu Moying shook her head. Pei Yuanjun was the one doing this, so she just listened in to avoid ruining Pei Yuanjun's plans.
Now that the dowry has been delivered, the next thing is her wedding. Pei Yuanjun has passed on a message that she doesn't need to worry about the follow-up of this matter and just needs to wait for her marriage.
The matter of sending the dowry basically did not implicate Qu Moying. Someone actually took action, and it was a determined man. Many people thought that someone wanted to harm the King of England. Some even said that this dog blood was poisonous, and if it was spilled, there would definitely be a lot of deaths.
A big event turned into a tragedy. No one can stand such bad luck.
Of course, some people secretly suspected that this matter might be related to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. If only the Crown Princess's dowry was in trouble, the Crown Princess would be the only one to be embarrassed. If all the princesses who were to marry into the Crown Prince's family encountered problems, the Crown Princess would not become the target of public criticism.
Many people thought so, so a new story continued on the previous incident of the Crown Princess's dowry.
These words were of course spread secretly, but when the news reached Liu Jingyu, several more blue and white porcelains were smashed, and Liu Jingyu was so angry that he almost fainted.
But what made her even angrier was that the prince didn't even accompany her back home.
Yes, because of the King of England’s wedding and something like this had happened before, Pei Luoan took the initiative to ask to help Pei Yuanjun and let Liu Jingyu go back home by himself.
When she got married, she was an official of the Ministry of Rites. Now that she is returning home, she doesn’t even have a return ceremony. In addition, everyone is saying that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince haven’t had their wedding night yet. There are more and more gossips about Liu Jingyu, and many things about the former Crown Princess that have not been said have been brought up again...
In some cases, in the face of this so-called "God's will", the position of the Crown Prince is not so stable, not to mention the Crown Princess...
