"This... should not be necessary. Since the matter has been investigated clearly, the officials are just making groundless accusations." Pei Yusheng's forehead began to sweat. This was not what he meant.
"Making groundless accusations? You even dare to make groundless accusations about matters concerning the royal family. What else can you not dare to do?" Pei Yuanjun said, glancing at him lazily.
"This... maybe I heard it wrong. Rumors are not to be believed after all, and there is no evidence to prove that they will cause trouble." Pei Yusheng was shocked and his tone softened.
I vaguely regretted the idea of coming here.
As expected, Miss Liu was not very familiar with the capital, nor was she very familiar with Pei Yuanjun's personality.
"So what King Jing heard was a rumor?" Pei Yuanjun snorted coldly and said lazily, "This is not a rumor, I wonder if King Jing wants to listen?"
"Uncle Wang, please speak!" Pei Yusheng said respectfully, lowering his head with hatred hidden in his eyes. Even in front of the prince, he didn't feel so aggrieved.
He was just an ordinary prince, but Pei Luoan and I had to work so hard to win him over, and we didn't even dare to offend him.
When he thought of the most hateful thing, he clenched his teeth, but he couldn't endure it.
As long as his father still favors Pei Yuanjun, he will have to recognize this "uncle king" and let him rule over him.
"The Queen has already prepared gifts to be sent to County Lord Jingyu and Miss Liu. If Prince Jing doesn't want Miss Liu to be reprimanded, he can ask the Queen for mercy, which may be of some use."
Pei Yuanjun said.
These words were heartbreaking. Pei Yusheng took a deep breath to calm his anger. The Queen and her son had always been at odds with them.
He could foresee that if he really went to plead with the Queen, it would definitely backfire.
Pei Yuanjun really goes too far.
"Uncle Wang, you're joking." Pei Yusheng smiled bitterly, his face full of helplessness, "Since things have come to this, how can I interfere with this matter?"
"No interference?" Pei Yuanjun flicked his hand gently on the chair rail, raised his sleepy eyes, and said with a half-smile: "Didn't Prince Jing really just come back from the General's Mansion?"
Pei Yusheng's heart skipped a beat, and he said hurriedly, "I was coming back from the General's Mansion, and I passed by Uncle Wang's place, so I came in to see Uncle Wang."
"Miss Liu is still as smart as ever." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently, with a gentle smile on his handsome face, and said this casually, "It's rare for you to come to my place, would you like to have lunch?"
"No, I have something else to do. Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle Wang." Pei Yusheng knew that Pei Yuanjun was trying to drive him away. He was angry and annoyed, but he had to stand up and say goodbye.
Pei Yuanjun did not keep him and asked Ji Hai to send him out.
Sitting in his carriage, Pei Yusheng felt more and more aggrieved. This time when he entered the palace, not only did he fail to push the matter onto Qu Moying, allowing Pei Yuanjun to agree with him and enter the palace to stop the Queen's rebuke, but he also made himself lose face.
Is Liu Lanxin really smart? Or is she unaware of the situation in Beijing? Is she really straightforward
"Miss, Master Ji has sent a letter." Nanny Miao came in from outside with a big package in her hands. She said as she came in, "It was sent by Nanny Gu. It also contains some eye protection medicine for follow-up."
Then he placed the large package on the middle table.
He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Qu Moying.
"Mr. Ji is back?" Qu Moying asked in surprise, as he took the letter. He had always said that he would return to Beijing, and according to calculations, he should have returned a long time ago.
I have gone out for fun before, but never before like this time when I didn't come back by the time I was supposed to go home.
"He hasn't come back, he just sent a letter." Nanny Miao said, opening the big package. Inside were medicine jars, big and small, neatly arranged.
There were words written on the outer seal, and the handwriting looked very familiar. It was indeed the handwriting of Mr. Ji who treated her.
The content of the letter was very simple. It just talked about the specific usage of these medicines. These jars contained medicinal powders and ointments, which were very useful for Qu Moying's eyes. The letter only said one sentence at the end: the return date has not been determined yet.
Although her eyes have recovered, she still needs proper care.
The medicine used before was originally intended to be used to treat the patient after Master Ji came back. Now that Master Ji has not come back, Qu Moying has to stop using the medicine.
These medicines come at the perfect time.
"Miss, there is also this, look." Nanny Miao found another thing, picked it up and gestured in front of Qu Moying, and it happened to be suitable for piercing the eyes.
It was also written in Master Ji's letter just now that this is called an eye mask, and you can wear it with your eyes closed when you want to rest. It has a layer in which you can put some suitable medicinal powders. These medicinal powders are very helpful in caring for eye vision and will be of great benefit to Qu Moying's eyes.
The fact that Mr. Ji has persisted in curing Qu Moying's eye disease over the years shows that he has superb medical skills.
"Miss, Master Ji said before that he would be back soon, but now he says he can't come back. Could something have happened?" Nanny Miao said with a sigh.
"That shouldn't be the case. How could anything happen to such a capable man like Master Ji?" Yu Chun couldn't help but say from the side.
In the minds of Yuchun and others, Master Ji is a great man, a miracle doctor. Not only did he cure the young lady's eye disease that had lasted for many years, he was also skilled in other aspects of medicine. Whenever there was a headache or fever in the manor, he would cure the disease by giving him a few prescriptions. He was also very kind in his daily life.
"Miss, why do you think Master Ji didn't come back as soon as he said he would like in the past?" Nanny Miao became uneasy. After so many years on the farm, they had developed feelings for Master Ji.
When Nanny Miao was taken in by Qu Moying, her health was not good. She looked as if she had recovered, but in fact she had a hidden illness. It was not until Doctor Ji came that Nanny Miao's health was completely restored.
"I don't know." Qu Moying shook his head.
The medical skills of this Master Ji are truly amazing, but many people in the capital don’t know that she was Ji Hanyue back then. It was by chance that she learned about such a skilled doctor who might be able to treat eye diseases, so she spent a large sum of money to invite this Master Ji to the manor to treat Qu Moying.
Such a skilled doctor was not famous before.
Ji Hanyue didn't think that such a person would be invited out of retirement for the so-called "large sum of money", but this Mr. Ji was actually willing to treat Qu Moying's eye disease, and even lived in a remote manor over there. Although he went out from time to time, he would stay in the manor for a while after returning.
If someone with such medical skills were willing to serve the royal family, how could he not receive a large sum of money
This is a person whom Qu Moying cannot understand, but no matter from Ji Hanyue's perspective or Qu Moying's perspective, this Mr. Ji is an impeccable person.
But, it's a little mysterious.
"Put it away for now. Wear the eye brace when you rest in the next few days. Wear it more often to protect your eyes better." Qu Moying said with a smile, gathering the myriad thoughts in his mind.
"I'll put them away now and put them back where I placed the medicine before." Yu Chun obeyed the order and skillfully took out the jars of medicine one by one and put them away.
"Madame Miao, how's Chunxiu's matter going?" Qu Moying asked Madame Miao after seeing Yuchun put away all the medicine. She had sent Madame Miao out to deal with Chunxiu's matter before.
"Chunxiu didn't clean the courtyard properly. After repeated warnings, she kept breaking the rules. Miss Liu was furious and had her beaten with 20 sticks. She was preparing to sell Chunxiu off."
Talking about this, Nanny Miao was very angry. This matter had been discussed with Chunxiu. She originally thought that at most she would be reprimanded and sold, but she didn't expect that she would be beaten with twenty boards. Fortunately, Chunxiu was in good health, otherwise she would not have been able to endure it. This Miss Liu had a good reputation in Beijing, and she was the daughter of a general who grew up on the border, but she was so cruel.
"Is it just not cleaned up?" Qu Moying asked after a moment of hesitation.
This matter was Chunxiu's idea, but I didn't expect to suffer so much.
"Yes, that's the only reason, and it's in a remote place. I think Miss Liu doesn't want to see Chunxiu, so she sent her away when she first entered the mansion. Now that there's such a good opportunity, why would she keep anyone here?" Nanny Miao said angrily.
When Chunxiu told her about this, she thought it was not a big deal. She didn't expect that it almost cost Chunxiu's life. She felt quite guilty towards Chunxiu.
"Buy her first and bring her into the house. I will go to my grandmother and tell her about this and let her fill the vacancy of the head maid by my side." Qu Moying said.
Qu Moying originally had two head maids around her, but if she becomes the Princess of England, she can have four head maids around her, which can make up the number or not.
If the list is not complete, it would be normal to go to the Prince of England's Palace to find one or two suitable ones. She will be in charge of the Prince of England's Palace at that time, and it would be best to find two familiar maids to serve her.
Those who want to marry into the royal family usually have only two wives by their side, and then two more wives will be added when they arrive at their husband's family. If there is anything happening in their husband's family, they can get to know it more quickly and more familiarly, and can also handle some taboos with ease.
Qu Moying had no concerns in this regard. Yudong was originally Pei Yuanjun's person, and now Chunxiu was also one of them. Adding such a person would not be a hindrance to her.
If you want to make up for it first, you have to report to the lady first.
"Yes, I have already asked people to keep an eye on it between today and tomorrow." Nanny Miao nodded with a heavy face. She had already asked people to keep an eye on the General's Mansion, fearing that there would be even the slightest mistake.
Sure enough, in the evening, a carriage brought the pale-faced Chunxiu, who had been beaten, into the gate of the Qu Mansion. Nanny Miao placed her in Qianyueju. Qu Moying went to see Chunxiu on purpose. He was relieved to see that although she looked pale, she still looked energetic.
She ordered Yuchun to give Chunxiu medicine, and she took Yudong to the lady's yard. Chunxiu must have a legitimate reason...
