"Old Lady, I heard that Uncle wants to have an heir. I wonder if you have any recommendations." Qu Moying smiled and looked at Old Lady Ji in front of her. Her smile was a bit cold. Under her eye veil, she was now Qu Moying, but even so, she still felt a dull pain in her heart.
The Old Lady Ji in front of her looked not much different from before. The Grandmother, who sent her off to the bridal sedan chair that day, who repeatedly exhorted her, did not change that much. However, this, for Qu Moying, was a distance of life and death.
When they met again, things were different, and they were no longer the same as before.
The family affection between them had long been gone, and when they met again, their relationship was full of wounds and was broken.
"Fourth Lady Qu, this is a private matter of our mansion, so there is no need for you to worry about it." Old Lady Ji frowned unhappily, feeling that Fourth Lady Qu was getting m
Lord Yun was going to look into this? Was this something that could be looked into? Just now, Old Lady Ji had already panicked because of Qu Moying's words. Hearing that Concubine Xiang still insisted on getting to the bottom of this, Old Lady Ji was suddenly enraged. She slammed the table and angrily rebuked, "Is this something that a concubine like you should meddle in? You keep talking about the matter of an heir. Who do you think you are?"Concubine Xiang had already left her life and death out of consideration. Hearing Old Lady Ji reprimand her like this, she raised her head to look at the Old Lady and said, "Old Lady, this is not something I want. It's Earl Ling'an's last wish. Moreover, it will be reported to the Emperor."The Old Lady's brows furrowed tightly. She wished she could have slapped Concubine Xiang. She was extremely annoyed. Picking up the teacup on the table, she took a sip and put the cup back down. Then, she calmed herself down
The matter at Qu Mansion had caused quite a lot of trouble recently. Everyone knew that the Second Madam, the one who got appointed later on, was a bad person. Now, it seemed that she was also greedy for Second Madam Qu's dowry.Come to think of it, this matter was normal. She had murdered her husband's ex-wife's daughter. How could she not covet the ex-wife's dowry? If the daughter died, wouldn't all the dowry fall into her hands instead?"Old Lady Ji, we will just sort it out quickly. Concubine Xiang will come back soon." Qu Moying said with a smile.Old Lady Ji went silent for a moment. She looked at Concubine Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground. This matter was considered to have come to an end here. It was actually no big deal whether Concubine Xiang stayed here or not.As long as her entire family admitted that what Concubine Xiang said was true and what her eldest son wrote was true, Lord Yun could not interfere. Si
Xiao went here to look for Ji Youran, and she didn't expect that the Crown Prince was also here. Seeing the Crown Prince's cold gaze sweeping over, Xiao hurriedly lowered her head. "Greetings, Your Highness."After Pei Luo'an glanced at her, he took Ji Youran and strode out.Xiao raised her head and wanted to tell Ji Youran about Concubine Xiang. However, she saw Ji Youran turn around and shake her head silently. Xiao quickly shut her mouth and watched the Crown Prince leave with her daughter. She was at a loss for what to do.The Crown Prince and Ji Hanyue had gotten engaged early, and he used to visit her often. He was respectful towards the Ji Family's elders. Every time he came, he would send gifts. And when he met someone, he would smile and greet them. He had never been so cold as he was now. That glance just now made Xiao's hands and feet turn cold.She originally wanted to ask for help from her daughter, but now all
Granny Zhou bit her lips. Her face was as pale as a sheet, and her body shook, but she forcefully restrained it.The lady in front of her looked extremely weak. Granny Zhou's first memory of Qu Moying was that she was a little baby wrapped in a swaddling cloth. She was so soft and cute. Her entire hand was so tiny. In an instant, the baby grew so big. Not only was she so grown now, but she was also so calm and steady.So much so that even with just her petite body, she stood out to avenge Ji Yanyue, her younger cousin sister.A strange sorrow welled up in Granny Zhou's heart. If nothing had happened to the Second Madam, although Fourth Lady Qu was somewhat weak, she would definitely have a mother who truly loved her. She would definitely not have had such a difficult time. Her lady had not yet reached the marriageable age, but she was able to handle things so calmly.If it had not been for her experiencing too many hardships
It was said that when Fourth Lady Qu returned to Qu Mansion that day, she had injured her ankle. Back then when she stayed a little longer at Crown Prince's Mansion, it was to let Imperial Doctor check on her injury.She had even alarmed the Imperial Doctor. She was really making a big fuss over nothing.Pei Qingmin clearly remembered that the person who had bumped into his young servant at that time was one of Fourth Lady Qu's maids. And the maid reacted quickly and immediately stood up. So, why was there a rumor that Fourth Lady Qu had been injured and even had the Imperial Doctor from Crown Prince's Mansion to check on her?This statement was really unpleasant.Originally, it was no big deal. How did it turn into such a statement? Moreover, it even caused a ruckus in the palace. The first thing Pei Qingmin felt was wondering what Fourth Lady Qu was up to.Although he was weak, he was still a Prince. Thus, he
In Qingyu Garden, Yu was lying on the bed. Her face was pale, and her body was weak. She really could not get up. Ever since she returned to the mansion that day, she got really sick and could not get up from the bed at all.She had taken a lot of medication prescribed to her. The Imperial Doctor had been here before, but after using so many medications, it was still ineffective. Her health did not seem to improve at all.Hearing a sound coming from the door, Yu turned to Hai Lan. Hai Lan understood and put down the medicine bowl in her hand. She was about to go out and ask, but she saw Qu Qiuyan rushing in angrily. Therefore, Hai Lan could only retreat to the side and say, "Greetings, Third Lady."Qu Qiuyan swung her sleeve and almost hit Hai Lan's face. Qu Qiuyan walked over with a cold face and looked at Yu on the bed. Her eyes were filled with anger."Yan, what... happened?" Yu raised her head and looked at her daughter'
"You feel sorry for him when you hear my words, don't you?" Xiao sneered."This matter has nothing to do with him. It's useless to blame him." Ji Yong'an's brow was tightly furrowed. "There's nothing I can do, is there? If there is a way, won't I want Yuanxing to inherit this title, or myself to take this title? But now that things have become like this, Lord Yun might intervene, so... no matter what we do, it's useless.""I won't agree," Xiao said harshly. "I will not agree even if I die!""Then you might die for real!" It was rare for Ji Yong'an to have such an imposing tone. He slammed his hand hard on the table. "If the entire family is sentenced to death, what's the use of a title?"Both he and Xiao knew about this matter in their hearts. They could not let it be investigated. They definitely could not allow anyone to investigate it. Once others investigated it, something might happen.As for the truth behi
In the Empress' Pepper House Hall.The eunuch knelt on the ground and explained everything that he had seen and heard today in Lord Yun Mansion in detail.After he finished speaking, he stayed kneeling and did not dare to move.After a long while, he heard the Empress' voice from above his head, "You may leave!""Yes!" The eunuch did not dare to say another word. He lowered his head, stood up, and walked backwards. When his eyes saw the door frame behind him, he turned and left in a hurry.In the middle of the hall sat a woman with a dignified expression who looked to be in her forties. This was Empress Zhu, the birth mother of Crown Prince Pei Luo'an, the most distinguished person in the entire harem.Although she was a little older, she had maintained her appearance well. It could be seen that when she was young, she was definitely a rare beauty. However, at this time, her brow was tightly furrowe
"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."
