When Xiao Haitang left, she looked weak. Yudong called a maid to help her and she left together.
As if he had suffered a great blow.
Qu Moying stood in front of the window, watching Xiao Haitang leave, and the corners of his lips curled silently.
"Miss, is Miss Xiao so timid?" Yu Dong asked puzzledly behind her. In his opinion, Miss Xiao looked like she was frightened.
"Half of it is fake." Qu Moying said lightly, his eyes falling on Xiao Haitang who had just turned out the door.
"Why do you have to pretend?" Yu Dong didn't understand the cause and effect here.
"Pretend. If there is something that can dilute her reason, if people know that she was frightened when she left Qu Mansion, they will definitely think of me. If there is really something involving her, you can also put a small part of it on me."
Qu Moying said coldly.
She actually knew Xiao Haitang's personality very well. Over the years, Xiao Haitang had spent more time in Ji's house than in her own house.
Even though I didn't have much contact with her at the beginning, since we were in the same family, I would always know something about her.
"Miss, what should we do?" Yu Dong said angrily, staring at Xiao Haitang's back.
"It's okay. They are just some specious words. No one would dare to say those sour words to me. Even if they do, it doesn't hurt me...
Qu Moying turned around and sat back on the chair, curling the corners of his lips with a faint smile.
She doesn't care about these little topics. They seem to be true but are not. There is no real evidence. What's the point of talking about them
There were also many topics about Liu Jingyu and Liu Lanxin. Even if he had threatened Xiao Haitang, at least he had the right to investigate Yanyue's affairs. There was no evidence that the two of them were involved in the assassination at the city gate, but it could not be said that they had nothing to do with it.
These two must have a lot of suspicion in their hearts!
"Miss, why didn't you ask about Miss Yuan just now?" Hearing his young lady say this, Yu Dong felt relieved. Suddenly, he remembered what the young lady wanted to say before and was surprised.
"Let's wait for now and talk about it after the banquet." Qu Moying shook her white and tender fingers. This beautiful lady Yuan made her suspicious, but she was not in a hurry.
She knew nothing about Concubine Yuan's affairs at the beginning, and she had lived in the Ling Anbo Mansion. This shows that the matter was not simple and was kept secret from her family.
It is hard to guess what is involved. She cannot act rashly before the truth is revealed. She has to deal with things one by one.
Is this banquet really just an ordinary banquet
There is no good banquet or meeting in the past, especially the relationship between me and Liu Jingyu...
Qu Moying was waiting for the banquet here with great concentration, and Liu Jingyu was also waiting for the banquet there. She went to Madam Liu's yard and met Madam Liu.
Madam Liu cannot go out now, and the same goes for the people around her. They are all locked up by Minister Liu, and only Liu Jingyu comes to visit occasionally.
Since entering the Liu Mansion, Hua has been focusing on her son. Moreover, she dare not compete with Liu Jingyu for power. Therefore, the Liu Mansion is still peaceful for the time being.
"Mother, you said this matter has something to do with Liu Lanxin?" Liu Jingyu told Madam Liu the whole story. Madam Liu said with certainty that this matter was related to Liu Lanxin. "Why did she do this? Could it be that she wanted to assassinate me?"
Liu Jingyu was startled.
Thinking back to what happened that day, I feel terrified.
"It's not you, it's the Crown Prince." Madam Liu shook her head, her face darkening. "This Liu Lanxin is not a simple person. She must be related to the generals supporting the country at the border. Maybe she is a new person sent to the capital for King Jing. King Jing didn't arrange for anyone to go there for a while, so what happened that day happened."
"Then... what should I do?" Liu Jingyu was a little panicked. Whenever she thought about the assassins who almost followed her out of the city and might even assassinate her outside the city, Liu Jingyu was so panicked that she couldn't sit still.
I couldn't help but come over and ask Madam Liu about this matter.
"What did the prince say?" Madam Liu said with a gloomy face. She was very thin. Although she had many tricks up her sleeve, she was now restricted and could not go anywhere. If Liu Jingyu did not come, her place would be like closed and no news could get out.
"The prince told me to be patient. Since I didn't do this, it must be related to Liu Lanxin and Qu Moying." Liu Jingyu said angrily, "I had good intentions that day. I thought since they invited me, I should go out and take a look. I didn't expect that they were actually plotting against me."
Thinking of how she had suffered such a huge loss, Liu Jingyu stomped her feet in anger. She had always been the one scheming against others, but when had she actually been schemed against? This Liu Lanxin really treated her as a carpet to be stepped on at will. Although the prince did not say anything this time, he could not hide the disappointment in his eyes, and even said that if it was the crown princess, such a thing would not have happened.
The implication of these words made Liu Jingyu very irritated. He was so angry that he wanted to slap Liu Lanxin a few times to teach her a lesson.
"Since this is what the prince means, you should not act rashly. How are the preparations for the banquet going?" Madam Liu snorted coldly.
"The banquet is almost ready. I told my cousin about the things that are missing, and she said she would send them over." Liu Jingyu replied.
"For such a small matter, you can just ask the maid to give instructions. You are the future Crown Princess, wouldn't it be disgraceful to do such things?" Madam Liu said dissatisfiedly.
"Mother, what happened between you and grandpa? Why is it... like this?" Liu Jingyu smiled bitterly, raised his eyes to look at Madam Liu, and asked.
Now that things have come to this, she might as well ask for clarification.
The change in attitude of my grandparents' family was too obvious. They pointed the finger at Madam Liu for everything. Liu Jingyu didn't know what had happened and why it happened.
Her current attitude towards the Duke of Qi's Mansion is also because the Duke of Qi's Mansion and the Liu Mansion no longer have the same close relationship as before, so she has to be humble.
"Why are you asking this?" Mrs. Liu's face suddenly darkened.
"Mother, you have to let me know what happened, otherwise someone might have been plotting against me and I wouldn't know anything." Liu Jingyu advised in a low voice.
"You know a lot, aren't you afraid of dying soon?" Madam Liu said bluntly. Her originally beautiful eyes looked much gloomier because of the house arrest in the past few days, as if she was a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. Even when looking at her own daughter, her whole body exuded some viciousness.
These words were spoken very impolitely, as if he was not talking to his daughter but to an enemy.
Liu Jingyu lowered his head hurriedly: "Mother, I am really afraid that someone will use this to deal with me again, and I don't know anything. The same is true for my grandparents. If they abandon us one day, I will
I don’t know, maybe it’s really hopeless!”
She pulled at the handkerchief in her hand aggrievedly, not looking at Madam Liu: "Mother, I am your daughter, your only daughter. There are not many people in this world who are related to you by blood, but I am the one closest to you. Compared to my father, you are the one who loves me the most. My father... is also someone else's father after all."
When Liu Jingyu said this, her eyes turned red. She raised her eyes and glanced at Madam Liu quickly, then lowered her head quickly, looking very uneasy: "Mother, I don't... blame you, I just... I'm just afraid that mother will be implicated. Father won't let you go now, and if something happens to me, father will definitely not let you go either."
Liu Jingyu's current identity is Madam Liu's greatest reliance.
Hearing her words, Madam Liu's attitude softened a bit, and she leaned back, "You don't need to know too much, just know that the Duke of Qi's Mansion is no longer the same as before, and your grandparents no longer love me. What they care about now is the little girl in the Qu Mansion, and they think that little girl is more like their bloodline."
"What...what?" Liu Jingyu was stunned for a moment, then he looked up suddenly and looked at Madam Liu in astonishment. He didn't understand what she meant for a moment, and after a pause, he said, "Mother means... Qu Moying is the bloodline of the Duke of Qi's Mansion?"
The blood in my heart was beating rapidly, as if something was contained in my chest and was about to burst out.
This was an answer that Liu Jingyu could never have imagined.
"That's what they think." Madam Liu said coldly.
"Is... that true?" This time, Liu Jingyu also felt a throbbing on his forehead, as if something was about to jump out, and all the blood in his body was rushing to his head.
"How could it be true? I don't know what that bitch instilled in them, saying that they think what she said is true. From now on, I'm afraid they will stand on the side of this bitch and no longer support you." Madam Liu said slowly, looking at Liu Jingyu, her smile carrying a bit of mockery from a bystander.
"You will have to work harder in the future. Without the support of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, it is hard to say what will happen in the future. It is also hard to say whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will know about this. Your father is so unpromising. Now that he has become a minister, he has ruined all the achievements that the Duke of Qi's Mansion has made over the years."
Without the support of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, her father was not so ambitious and even became a laughing stock in the capital. Liu Jingyu's originally hot body turned cold again. A shiver came from her back and she was so frightened that she could hardly stand. She was the Crown Princess, so how could she not have someone to rely on
What exactly is the purpose of the Duke of Qi's Mansion? There have been speculations before, but there has never been any speculation in this regard.
"Mother...Mother..."
"Are you panicking? Don't you know what to do?" Madam Liu smiled and pulled her frowning eyes, dark and crazy, "Then go and kill this bitch. As long as this bitch dies, won't it be all over? Without her, the Duke of Qi's Mansion will only stand on your side."
“Why…why…” Liu Jingyu was confused.
"Of course it's for the power of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. You became a county lady because of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. If it weren't for the Duke of Qi's Mansion, you would be just a daughter of a minister now. Are you worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Madam Liu mocked mercilessly, as if she had released all the resentment of the past few days at once.
