It took a long time for Yu to wake up. She reached out to hold Hailan's hand. There was a faint trace of blood on the corner of her lips. She looked towards the door with hatred: "He... How could he do this... How could he do this to me... I gave birth to children for him, but in his heart, I am still not as good as that woman..."
Hai Lan understood what she said, her face changed drastically, she reached out and covered Yu's mouth, and said in a trembling voice: "Madam, Madam, please stop talking, please stop talking."
"Silence? What silence? He's almost killed me. Could it be that without me, he would still let that woman in? That woman..." Yu struggled excitedly and pushed Hai Lan away with all her strength. Her smile was extremely miserable, and blood slid down the corners of her lips. "I thought I won, but actually, neither of us... won. His heart... His heart has always been..."
"Madam, even if not for yourself, you should consider the young lady and the young master." Hai Lan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she pleaded in a trembling voice.
This sentence successfully calmed Yu down. His head drooped weakly, his eyes slightly closed, and he seemed to have no life at all.
Hai Lan gently wiped the corner of Yu's lips with a handkerchief, wiped the blood from her mouth, and lowered her voice and said, "Madam, you still have a young lady and a young master. The third young lady and the second young master are both promising. The second master has always paid the most attention to them. Things will get better in the future. Just relax and wait."
Yu didn't say anything. She still had her eyes closed and looked like she had no breath. Only the slight rise and fall of her chest showed that she was actually awake.
It took him a long while to open his eyes, and he looked up into the air with empty eyes: "I have been fighting for so long, and I always thought I was the winner, but what is the truth? I was never the winner, and I was never in his heart, but I thought... I thought I had won over those two women."
"Madam, it will be fine. Those are just guesses and cannot be taken as accurate." Hai Lan couldn't stand hearing such words, so she lowered her voice and advised.
Yu didn't say anything else, her eyes were looking straight up into the air, her fixed gaze was somewhat creepy, Hai Lan didn't dare to say anything else, and after a long while she heard Yu's calm voice, "Go and ask if there is anything that happened that I don't know about."
"Yes, I'll go now." Hai Lan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she had calmed down, and called a maid at the door to serve her carefully.
It's just that she went out quickly and came back quickly.
"What's wrong?" Hearing her footsteps, Yu turned to look at her.
"Madam..." Hai Lan hesitated to speak.
"But I can't get out?" Yu suddenly laughed, stretched out her hand to rub the corner of the quilt, and squeezed it into a ball, with a vague guess in her heart.
"Yes, when the Second Master went out just now, he asked the maid to come and guard the yard, saying that the Madam should rest and recuperate, and that no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave the yard in the future." Hai Lan whispered while peeking at her mood, "Maybe something went wrong today, and the Second Master is angry when he finds out. When the Third Miss comes next time, we should ask her clearly before making any plans, okay?"
Yu was surprisingly calm this time. She glanced at the door and raised the corners of her lips, with a hint of sarcasm: "He is now hoping that I won't go out, fearing that I will ruin his plans again. But Qu Moying, that little bitch, is so amazing that he can still trust her in this situation."
Qu Zhizhen came to his own courtyard as soon as he returned home. Something must have happened to Qu Moying, which made Qu Zhizhen agree with him so much that he would not care about what he said.
He didn't believe it and even locked himself up.
The so-called recuperation and the so-called idlers are nothing but words to avoid the eyes and ears of others.
Fortunately, she still has a pair of children, otherwise Yu Shi didn’t know whether she could still survive at this time. This man has always been cruel.
Just like what happened to Xiao Yue family back then, is it my turn now
But she is not Xiao Yue, and never has been. She vaguely feels that the Yu family, which has these hidden dangers, is not completely defenseless. She will not let Xiao Yue die because of this.
Now is not the time to fight to the bitter end. She still has children and a future...
"Just stay here and recuperate!" Yu said weakly, "Don't worry about the Third Miss."
Yu knew her daughter's temperament well. At this time, Yan'er would not be willing to come over and look at her for a few more times, for fear of offending Qu Zhizhen.
"But what about my cousin?" Hai Lan asked anxiously.
"Let her fend for herself!" Yu closed her eyes. She couldn't even take care of herself right now, so how could she pay attention to her niece? No matter how good her niece was, she was not her daughter after all, so how could she care about her...
When Qu Zhizhen came out of Yu's place, he met the people sent by the lady dowager. He turned around and went to the lady dowager's Kangmingzhai. After calming the lady dowager's emotions, he left Kangmingzhai. After walking a few steps towards the outer courtyard, Qu Zhizhen stopped, stood there for a while, and immediately changed direction and headed towards Qianyueju.
Qu Moying was watching Yu Chun embroidering. When she heard Qu Zhizhen coming, she was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly held Yu Dong's hand, stood up, and went out to greet him.
Qu Zhizhen stood in the yard with his hands behind his back. When he heard the voice behind him and saw Qu Moying coming out, his originally stern expression softened a little.
Qu Moying stepped forward and saluted.
Qu Zhizhen waved his hand and said, "Let's go in and talk first." Then he walked into the house first.
Qu Moying held Yu Dong's hand and followed him in.
Qu Zhizhen sat down on the chair in the middle, and Qu Moying sat down on a chair on the side. The maid brought tea. Qu Zhizhen took a sip and frowned: "Where did this tea come from?"
"It was originally here. Father, do you think there is something wrong with it?" Qu Moying said softly.
"These are all old teas. The new tea has arrived. It's not good for you to still use the old ones. I'll have someone send you some new tea later." Qu Zhizhen said lightly.
"Thank you, father." Qu Moying helped Yu Dong stand up and bowed.
"Sit down first. Your foot is not very convenient. You must take good care of it. Don't go out unless necessary." Qu Zhizhen said gently.
"My foot is much better now. Thank you for your concern, father." Qu Moying sat down again and smiled softly.
"What happened today? It's Yu's niece again. Does this have anything to do with you?" Qu Zhizhen picked up the tea and took a sip. His eyes fell on Qu Moying and he looked at her a few more times.
There were too many meanings in these words. Qu Moying couldn't find any other meanings from Qu Zhizhen's words for a moment. He lowered his head and shook his head, "The wife of the Guanglu Temple Minister and the second lady came to the mansion to visit the second lady. The second lady Duan was very excited when she saw Aunt Yu and pushed her. Aunt Yu got into trouble. It happened that the doctor and the female doctor hired by the second lady were also in the mansion."
These words were impartial and without much personal color. Qu Moying was just stating one thing. Her grandmother would definitely tell this cheap father about it.
, she didn't need to say much.
But these words also have a hidden meaning. This doctor and the female doctor are Yu's biggest mistakes.
If you look closely, you'll definitely find something.
"I already know about this. Yu should take good care of herself in the future. Her niece is just a concubine and will have nothing to do with our family in the future. As for the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, it is considered as betrayal. As a father, I am naturally not happy about it. There is no need for them to visit us in the future." Qu Zhizhen thought for a moment and said with some soothing meaning.
"Thank you, father!" Qu Moying understood that Qu Zhizhen was trying to be nice to her, so she nodded softly and did not pursue the matter any further.
She could only sneer in her heart. It seemed that this cheap father was still good to Yu. Even at this point, Yu was just confined to her house. No wonder her biological mother left home and went to a nunnery when she was pregnant with her. With Yu around, she would have had to leave.
Otherwise, how could there be two lives during childbirth
However, Yu was not taken into account in the end. Qu Moying was sure that Yu at that time would not want to see his mother giving birth. If the child was a son, he would be the legitimate son. Yu was just a concubine at that time, so how could she be willing for her mother to give birth to a child
Given Yu's personality, it was inevitable for him to take action, but he didn't know what role this adoptive father played in this
"Take good care of your injuries. If you have any problems in the future, just come to your father. Your grandmother is old, and may not be able to handle some things." Qu Zhizhen stood up and instructed gently, looking at Qu Moying with a kind look that made people soften their hearts.
Qu Moying also stood up and lowered his head, just in time to avoid Qu Zhizhen's gentle yet concerned gaze: "Yes, father."
Looks very well behaved.
Qu Zhizhen didn't say anything this time. He just nodded, put his hands behind his back and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Qu Moying and said, "If your foot injury gets better, you can manage the household with Yan'er. Now there are only two of you who can manage the house. Although it's difficult for you, you... will have to manage the household in the future. If you don't understand, you can ask grandmother and aunt."
"Yes." Qu Moying responded very naturally.
There was no doubt about Qu Zhizhen's words.
Qu Zhizhen was very satisfied with Qu Moying's gentleness and obedience. He nodded and left for real this time.
After he left the yard, Yu Dong helped Qu Moying sit down and said, "Miss, why is the Second Master so kind to you this time?"
He came over just now to ask about something, and he didn't blame his young lady at all. He even showed a kind of concern that he had never shown before. It was really surprising.
Abnormal, so abnormal!
Qu Moying shook her head. She didn’t know much, but she still had some guesses in her heart. She was afraid that this matter was related to Pei Yuanjun. Wouldn’t this cheap father think that the opportunity had come
"Miss, if you can be the housekeeper, it will be convenient for you to handle the affairs of the shop left by the madam." Nanny Zhou said happily.
She was also in the room just now. After seeing Qu Zhizhen come in, she kept her head down and stood behind Qu Moying, afraid that Qu Zhizhen would see her. Now that Qu Zhizhen had left, she interrupted and spoke.
She felt relieved. She was sure that Qu Zhizhen saw her, but he didn't say a word, which was tantamount to acknowledging her existence. From now on, she didn't have to hide anymore.
