“Ying, Yu has been ill recently, and her situation seems pretty serious. I wanted to lock her up in the family temple and tell the outsiders that she was sick, but I didn’t expect her to really fall ill. I want to let you and Yan manage the family affairs together. What do you think about it?”
“She’s really sick?” Qu Moying lifted her head and asked.
Judging by Yu’s personality, Qu Moying knew she wouldn’t give up like this. For Yu, the best way to get around with the situation was to take a step back. If Yu was too sick to even get off the bed, people couldn’t really do anything to her. This was what Qu Moying thought before.
Right now, what the Old Lady said seemed to be quite different than her expectation.
“It’s true. Even the Imperial Doctor we invited from the royal palace said it would be hard to treat her,” the Old Lady nodded with a sullen face.
It was not that easy to bribe the Imperial Doctors, which
“I don’t know who...set me up. It’s just I didn’t notice anything unusual when my younger sister was with me. Then she said she needed some fresh air outside because she felt unwell. I helped her walk out, and then...she never came back. Soon after she left, I...I felt my whole body heated up as the Crown Prince walked up to me and wanted to ask about her.”Qu Qiuyan cried sorrowfully, “Then I didn’t know what happened later. I only...only remember Your Royal Highness and other people came inside...”She didn’t directly say it was Qu Moying, but her indication was clear enough to understand. She meant that Qu Moying framed her after she helped her walk out.Of course, Qu Qiuyan didn’t have direct proof, but she didn’t need it since she didn’t directly say Qu Moying was the one behind it. “Your younger sister doesn’t seem as simple as she looks!” Pei Yusheng stayed silent for a second and said with a displeased look on his f
No one knew better than Qu Moying about Yu and her daughter’s hatred for her. Since that fire they set, they couldn’t tolerate her existence anymore.There was nothing she could change, so why would she be afraid of it? Or to say, her fear had no influence on the result. Her rebirth already meant the start of this path, stained by blood. The smile on her face contained anger and indifference that she usually wouldn’t show. Maybe the dark night or something else made her stop covering her real emotions with calmness.Her words carried a trace of disdain and horrifying coldness. Still, the toughness she showed surprisingly made her look more pitiful.After all, she was just a fourteen-year-old powerless girl, but what she had been through gave her tremendous anger, coldness, and even a spirit of rebellion. For the first time, Pei Yuanjun took a close look at this girl in front of him. He always knew she had a good appearance, looking weak
Qu Moying lifted her head with her eyes wide open. An unsettled feeling arose in her heart, making her clench her clothes and hold her breath unconsciously.“Earl Ling’an passed away,” the Old Lady said in a deep voice.Her words hit Qu Moying’s heart like a heavy strike as those eyes behind the veil were immediately filled with tears. She had to bite her lip hard to suppress the pain that tasted like blood.She knew her father died a long time ago, in a miserable way, and the current death announcement was faked. Or to say, she was the one who forced the Ji Family to announce it earlier. However, hearing it with her own ears again was still so painful. She was exhausted from controlling her boiling emotions, felt depressed, and couldn’t even breathe smoothly. In a blink, time jumped back to the day when she heard it for the first time on the Linyuan Pavilion.Those cruel words came out of Ji Youran’s mouth. Every single one
“The Crown Princess is dead. Earl Ling’an is dead. Now that blind girl has no one to rely on. Hahaha...” Yu’s laugh sounded restrained but mad.Qu Qiuyan frowned at her and pulled a long face. “Mother, this is not the focus. We have to prove Qu Qiuyan is a fake and show her true colors to everyone.”“She’s not a fake. She is the real Qu Moying, definitely the real one,” Yu stopped laughing and said while panting heavily. “Mother, you lost your mind because of the sickness. You said she was a fake one before.”Annoyed by her mother’s absurd words, Qu Qiuyan raised her voice.When she told Yu about her suspicions, Yu agreed with her and even let her tell Lord Jing about it to blame what happened in the Eastern Palace on Qu Moying. But right now, Yu changed her words and said that girl was the real Qu Moying. Yu’s inconsistent behavior irritated Qu Qiuyan.Right now, she was almost convinced that the current Qu Moy
Qu Zhizhen’s ankle was not severely injured. He recovered pretty quickly and could walk already. As long as he didn’t walk too fast, he wouldn’t even feel pain.“My lady, one day I saw a strange couple waiting at the back door of our mansion. Then Fourth Lady’s private maid named Yu Dong came out and talked to them. They seemed to have an argument. Then Yu Dong handed them a small bag and urged them to leave.”“I found the whole thing very weird. I heard only a wet nurse was staying with Fourth Lady to take care of her. It should be people like a couple who served her. After Yu Dong left, I went to ask the old maid who guards the back door. She told me that this couple came several times these two days. And...and...”“And what?” Qu Qiuyan asked in shock.Behind the wall, Qu Zhizhen’a attention was caught by the maid’s words too.“And the old maid told me that Yu Dong has been giving things to that couple. It sta
“Good to see you, First Master Ji!” Yue Wenhan bowed back and said frigidly, “I received a message from your family saying that my uncle suddenly passed away. So, I came here to see if you need any help. Please don’t mind me if I’ve done anything inappropriate!”“That’s very kind of you, Mr. Yue. Please follow me inside.” Ji Yong’an cast a glance at the carriage next to Yue Wenhan, wondering who was inside. Yue Wenhan hadn’t married yet, so he had no idea who it could be. But it was not the right time to ask now.Ji Yong’an led Yue Wenhan into the gate in person and accompanied him to the place where the carriages parked. Then he saw Qu Moying getting off the carriage and was stunned for a moment.Qu Moying’s outfit was different than ordinary people’s. The long veil on her face could let people immediately figure out her identity. Even for people who had never seen her before, they could tell who she was right away.Qu Moyi
“Fourth Lady Qu, you can’t just go inside like that. You need the First Madam’s permission first,” the old maid said with an awkward face, but she had to try everything to stop Qu Moying.“I just want to take a look. Or you can go back to report to the First Madam right now?” Qu Moying said carelessly.The old maid hesitated.If she went back for the report now, no one could keep an eye here. Even if Fourth Lady Qu went inside, she wouldn’t know about it and would probably be scolded by the First Madam. When the people sent by the First Madam got here, Fourth Lady Qu would probably have seen whatever she wanted to see.“I...I...” The old maid was a clever one, but even she was confused by Qu Moying’s unpredictable behavior“Alright, the lady just wants to take a look. Nothing will happen. If you report to the First Madam and come back, the lady will probably be done already. Even if the First Madam gives her per
The only place in the Earl Ling’an’s Mansion that nobody was allowed to visit today was the Crown Princess’s old yard. The Second Madam had warned every servant that they couldn’t take anyone around that place since the Crown Prince would be there. If anyone disturbed the Crown Prince, the whole Ji Family would be blamed for it.Moreover, the Crown Prince’s presence in the Earl Ling’an’s Mansion could not be known by any outsiders. Because he shouldn’t show up here. Knowing the severity of the situation, the old maid started to sweat as her lips kept trembling. She was so scared by Fourth Lady Qu’s intention and didn’t even know how to stop her at the moment.She finally realized that weak as Fourth Lady Qu looked, she was not as obedient to the rules of etiquette as other noble ladies.An ordinary servant like her was not able to stop this determined lady, let alone under the glare of another maid who looked fierce. The old maid even ha
"Miss Liu, the king said that there is no female master in the residence, so he is not in a position to receive you, and asked if there is anything important you need?" A guard descended from the steps and walked to Liu Lanxin's carriage, giving a respectful salute inside.Liu Lanxin's carriage was again blocked in front of the Ying Wang Mansion."It's an important matter, a message from father's side." Liu Lanxin reached out and pressed the cuff of his sleeve, there was indeed a letter there, a letter to the King of England.The guards didn't dare to delay the border matter and said to Liu Lanxin, "Miss Liu wait a moment."After saying that, he turned around and went inside to report.This time it took a little longer to get in, long enough for the originally chesty Liu Lanxin to feel like things weren't a little unexpected again.Finally, the guards reappeared and smiled at Liu Lanxin, "Miss Liu, our king invites you in.""Good!" A big sto
Zhu Yan'er did not expect Yu Dong actually remembered her, and also demolished her identity, but in her reaction is also fast, slightly flustered after, immediately asked with a smile; "Which house are you from?""Slave servant is from the Qu Mansion, Miss Zhu, please." Yu Dong moved to the side and reached out to lead the way to the private room.Zhu Yan'er this is also difficult to ride the tiger, had to make a look with a few points of bewilderment to the private room, as if she really did not mean it, originally just want to make some trouble out of it, and now also put themselves into it.Yu Dong, the maid, was still recognized by the people around her just now.Her features carried a bit of the innate cluelessness of a young girl, easily inviting, and while some were skeptical, there was a part of her that was immediately convinced that she was truly innocent.It's just the maids under her that are petulant.A maid is not good, even the mast
That rather strange Mr. Zhao was actually amongst the crowd, standing with his hands behind his back under a store on one side, watching the slowly moving carriages on the street.Looking at his upright posture, it is hard to believe that he actually also came to see the fun, should be coincidentally encountered, and he has been blocked up like himself."Mr. Zhao?" Yu Dong saw her stop moving and her gaze looked over.Qu Mo Ying nodded and turned to leave after a couple more looks.Down the stairs, got into the carriage, followed the traffic slowly forward, the curtain of the window of the car outside a layer had been picked up before, the inner layer is made of yarn, from the inside can see the outside, but the outside can not see clearly inside.It wasn't annoying to pass by while looking at the passersby on both sides of the road.See that Zhao Gongzi again, a flash, in fact, did not see clearly, this Zhao Gongzi seems to be talking to a person
"Is it Fourth Miss Qu?" Outside was a maid, looking a little familiar, Yu Dong thought a little and immediately recognized it."It's our young lady." With a slight smile, she stepped forward and replied, giving a bow to the woman standing behind her, Miss Liu Lanxin, the daughter of the Auxiliary General, still wearing the appearance of a thin veil over her eyes."Our lady is from the Auxiliary General's residence, and we have met your lady before." The maiden laughed."Slave girl will go report to our young lady." Yu Dong turned around and went in, and when she came out again she invited Miss Liu in."Miss Liu!" Qu Mo Ying stood up and saluted.Liu Lanxin also smiled and gave a salute, and the two of them politely took their seats."Fang looked like Fourth Miss Qu, so I came over to meet her." Liu Lanxin smiles, "Since the last time I saw Fourth Miss Qu, I didn't expect to see her after such a long time."The last time the two met was in th
The carriage slowly moved forward, Qu Mo Ying sat in the carriage, there has been a period of time did not go to the auxiliary to visit, this time to take advantage of the matter of clothes to go by the way to go to the Yueyi Pavilion to take a look.Qi Gongfu today and sent people over, said some details of the matter, the dowager lady thought to also pay attention to some details, never let people from the top of the clothes than the Qi Gongfu.The more clothes cabinet is doing this kind of business, Qu Mo Ying got the meaning of the dowager lady to the more clothes cabinet to pick some of their own, but also with the shopkeeper Yang aunt to discuss how to better, this aspect of Yang aunt can be regarded as a competent hand, the most will help people accessorize the clothes, some small details, it is possible to affect the overall feeling."Why is it still stuck in traffic?" The carriage had been stuck in the traffic jam for some time, Qu Mo Ying gently lifted th
Sister Miao was from the northern border and had come to the capital before to find someone to join her.In fact, it's not really a family member, just looking for the original village old folks, the village because of a disaster, almost no one escaped again.This part of the past, what Qu Mo Ying knew was not clear, this was Sister Miao's hidden pain, since Sister Miao was not willing to talk about it in detail, she would not force her.In the next period of time, the Duke of Qi's residence sent people over from time to time to deal with some small problems in the details, fearing that there would be the slightest mistake.Attitude prudent so that Mrs. Qu feel that the Duke of Qi is not too much attention, originally just change one of the three, is not the most important set of clothes at the time of the big make-up.Qi Gongfu so practice let her a lot of pressure, as if Qi Gongfu do more than she this pro-grandmother, but also on the heart, is to sho
"Miss, this is the jewelry sent by the Duke of Qi's residence, saying that it's for use with the clothes." Yu Dong walked in with a gift box in her hand.The gift box was put down, and after Sister Yan walked over and opened it, she took a look at it and nodded, "Miss, this is an excellent set of jewelry, it's very suitable for a maturity dress, and I'm afraid the value of this isn't small.""After dispensing, send it back." Qu Mo Ying's eyes were pale as he said."Sending it back, miss, I'm afraid this is not in keeping with etiquette!" Sister Yan shook her head, a big family, since it was sent, where was the reason to return it."The Duke of Qi gave me such a big gift, where can I accept it raw, I have to return the gift, choose one of similar value and return the gift!"Qu Mo Ying thought for a moment and said, she was not willing to owe the Duke of Qi at all, as long as she thought of her mother's death, she felt that the jewelry in front of her wei
"Mother, what is the matter you called me over for?" As Liu Jingyu entered, she playfully bowed to Mrs. Liu."Sit here mother." Mrs. Willow beckoned to her.Seeing her mother's rare closeness, Liu Jingyu was in quite a good mood as she took two steps forward and sat down next to Mrs. Liu.Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Jingyu to say something."Mother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Mrs. Liu in this form, Liu Jingyu's face sank and she asked eagerly."There is nothing much, just heard the news that came from the Duke of Qi's house before, and felt ..." Mrs. Liu sighed a long breath, and the words came here, and for a while she actually couldn't go on."What did Grandmother do again? Something to do with Qu Mo Ying?" Liu Jingyu asked almost intuitively.The feeling as if she was a natural enemy immediately lifted her spirits.Mrs. Liu nodded gently, "Your maternal grandmother recently did not know what was wrong, but actually so close to this y
"What does Mrs. Qi mean?" Mrs. Qu looked at the matron of the Duke of Qi's house in front of her and said in surprise."Qu second lady's matter, we all feel guilty all over the house, the old Duke of State almost wanted to move to Jiangnan, directly to Qu second lady's father to ask for forgiveness, but the Duke of State did not agree, the old Duke of State must be older after all, I heard that the Qu fourth young lady is going to have her maturity rite, our dowager lady's intention, want to make a set of clothes for the Qu fourth young lady."The granny sent by the Duke of Qi's residence was very good at talking, sighing, feeling, and finally longing.The people of the King's House came and left with great fanfare, a little inquiring to know the meaning of the King's House, actually want to make a set of dresses for this Qu fourth young lady at the time of the maturity of the big makeup."His Highness the King of England has already sent someone." Mrs. Qu wa
