They were both blood jade bracelets with tear-shaped green gem pendants. The bracelet holder of Second Madam Qu's bracelets was the design of a pair of peach blossoms with multi-layer petals. Meanwhile, the bracelet holder of Yue's bracelets was a pair of five-petal, single-layer peach blossoms.
Although it was multi-layered, there were not so many petals. There were only three extra petals. Granny Zhou clearly knew this feature as she had seen it before. She would have missed it had she not looked it closer.
"I have never seen the pair of bracelets Mother left." Qu Moying shook her head, not remembering such bracelets in her memory. Needless to say, they must be in Yu's hands now.
"My lady, the bracelets were the dowry that Old Lady Yue gave to Madam. Back then, it was stated that the bracelets would only be passed on to daughters and not sons. When they had a daughter, the bracelets would be passed on to her. When they had a son, the b
Granny Wu brought an old maid into the room. From the looks of it, the old maid did not come from an ordinary family. She followed the rules after stepping into the room. She first bowed to Qu Moying, then took out a letter from her pocket with a smile. With her head low, she respectfully handed it over. "Fourth Lady Qu, this is a letter from our Princess Ji.""A letter? What's the matter?" When Yu Chun went to receive it, Qu Moying raised her eyebrows and asked."I do not know, Fourth Lady Qu. Please read the letter first." The old maid said with a smile. Her words and actions were very appropriate.Not saying anything else, Qu Moying took the letter from Yu Chun and read it quickly. When she finished reading it, she paused for a moment and then turned to Granny Wu. "Granny Wu, do you know that my mother's pair of bracelets, which was a part of her dowry, was specially sent here by my maternal grandmother?""What bracelets?
After searching through Yu's place, Granny Wu came to Qu Qiuyan's Furong House."Granny Wu, what's the matter?" Qu Qiuyan, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, stood up in surprise and looked at Granny Wu and the several rough servants behind her."Greetings, Third Lady." Granny Wu stepped forward and bowed. Third Lady was not like Yu. Yu's current situation was not good, but it did not mean that Third Lady's situation was bad as well.Granny Wu was someone by the Old Lady's side. Of course, she knew that there was a relationship between Qu Qiuyan and Lord Jing. No one was sure what would happen in the future."Granny Wu, you are too polite. Do you come here because something happened to Grandmother?" Qu Qiuyan asked softly, her face full of surprise."The Old Lady lost a pair of bracelets. I went to Madam's place just now. Madam said that the bracelets might be with you, Third Lady, so she asked me t
Early the next morning, Qu Moying got up. After saying goodbye to the Old Lady, she got into the carriage alone and went to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Today was the day of Ji Hanyue's funeral. Those who went there were people close to her in the past. In Qu Mansion, Qu Moying was the only one who had such qualifications. As for the others, they could only set up an altar by the road.It was still early when she arrived at the Crown Prince's Mansion, but there was an old maid already waiting. She led Qu Mansion's carriage into the Crown Prince's Mansion's door and stopped in the parking lot.Qu Moying got off the carriage, and the old maid went forward to salute."Fourth Lady Qu, please follow me."Qu Moying nodded and brought Yu Dong along to follow behind the old maid. When they arrived at the flower hall, they found that there was no one else there.The flower hall was not big, and it did not look like a plac
Inside the mourning hall, the Crown Prince, Pei Luo'an, was crying on a large chair. He looked haggard, and his face was obviously sickly. His eyes were red and swollen, and his gaze, all this while, was on the coffin in the middle. His reluctance to part with his love was obvious.Beside him were Second Prince, Lord Jing—Pei Yusheng, Third Prince, Lord Wei—Pei Qingmin, and Fourth Prince, Lord Yan—Pei Yanxun.Lord Wei was not in good health. Even though he was an adult, when other Princes were attending hearings, he only occasionally went there, and from time to time, he would get seriously ill. The Emperor only turned a blind eye to his condition. Lord Wei's birth mother was Consort Zhu, and she was not very favored in the palace. In addition, Lord Wei was not in good health, so it was unlikely that he had a chance to fight for power.Since there was no possibility of fighting for power, the Crown Prince had always been concerned about
In the end, Crown Prince did not send Crown Princess' coffin to the outside of the city. Just as he arrived at the entrance of the mansion, he fainted and was sent back inside. Following him was the sick and weak Lord Wei.Lord Jing and Lord Yan were the two people in charge of sending the Crown Princess' coffin to the grave today. The two of them followed behind the funeral queue and slowly walked out of the city.Along the way, the entire street was filled with cries and white banners. The people on both sides knelt on the ground and welcomed Crown Princess' coffin from a distance.The snow-colored pieces of paper danced all over the sky, displaying a different kind of sorrow in the breeze.From the mansions in the capital that were qualified to attend this funeral, people lined up on both sides to the city gate, and when the coffin came, the crying shook the city.After Crown Princess' wedding, it was her fun
"My lady, wake up." Looking at the shadow at the door curtain, Yu Dong went forward to wake Qu Moying up."What's wrong?" Qu Moying opened her eyes."We are in the outer yard. Eastern Palace's maid advised you to move to the yard where the womenfolk rest," Yu Dong explained while supporting Qu Moying up."Sure!" Qu Moying replied.After Qu Moying sat up and tidied up a little, Yu Dong took the opportunity to show Qu Moying the jewelry box in his sleeve, hinting that the jewelry box had already been switched.The jewelry box looked fine, exactly the same as before, but in fact, Yu Dong knew very well that this jewelry box was no longer the same one as before. It had already been switched.Speaking of which, Yu Dong felt that Princess Ji was such a shameless person. The dignified Princess Ji of Crown Prince’s Mansion actually took a fancy to his lady's bracelet and even used such a method to get it. I
"What? Fourth Lady Qu was injured from the fall?" Ji Youran was dumbfounded as she listened to the ridiculous conclusion.It was a maid who was knocked down. What did it have to do with Qu Moying? It was said that the maid reacted quickly and immediately pushed Qu Moying away from danger. Qu Moying managed to stabilize herself with the help of the rockery. But now, she was injured from a fall. How fake could this be?This was Crown Prince's Mansion. This Qu Moying seemed to be a good person, but she was clearly hypocritical and lowly. She actually had the nerves to make a scene in front of the Crown Prince!"Your Highness, is the lady of Vice Minister Qu's family low in intelligence?" Ji Youran couldn't help but mock.She had really never seen such a noble lady. No matter how stupid a noble lady was, she would never do such a thing and wouldn't say such words. Did Qu Moying really think that she was Ji Hanyue's own cousin si
"How did Fourth Lady Qu bump into Lord Yun?" Seeing that he was so annoyed, Ji Youran did not dare to have any other thoughts and asked carefully.This was the first thought that one came up with. No one would think that Qu Moying could bump into Pei Yuanjun with her ability. Even if Qu Moying had other intentions, she could not win Pei Yuanjun's heart, unless Pei Yuanjun had improper thoughts."I don't know either. It is said that Fourth Lady Qu bumped into Uncle Yun. She lost her balance and then fell to the ground." Pei Luo'an walked around in circles in frustration. Then, he covered his head and sat down. He felt dizzy and uncomfortable. These past few days, in order to express his deep feelings, he had indeed endured a lot. His face was sickly and pale.Ji Youran hurriedly got up and diligently went behind him to gently massage the acupoint on his forehead. "Your Highness, please tell me what happened. I will deal with it immediatel
