On the path outside the window, it was indeed Xu Lipeng and Yu Qingmeng. In fact, Xu Lipeng should have been at Qu Moying's Qianyue House at this time, and Yu Qingmeng had come out alone to take a walk.
Unexpectedly, she was caught up by Xu Lipeng after taking only a few steps.
"Young Master, is the Fourth Lady not here?" Yu Qingmeng said softly. She reached out and touched her waist. Her clothes were loose, but she still looked slender and charming.
"She went to the yard for a walk," Xu Lipeng said indifferently.
Yu Qingmeng carefully looked at his face, took a few steps closer, and reached out to pull his sleeve. "Then let's go take a walk too. Maybe we can meet Fourth Lady Qu there. I'd like to apologize to her in person. It's all my fault... It's all because of me that she is like this now."
"You are pregnant now. It's better not to go over. I will pass on the message if there is anything." Xu Lipeng's voice
Outside the room, Xu Lipeng's face was ashen as he paced around in circles. Qu Qiuyan was also helpless. Coincidentally, a doctor came over to Yu's place. Moreover, he brought a female doctor with him. At this time, they were checking on Concubine Yu inside.When Qu Moying and Duan Jinxiang came over, Xu Lipeng's gaze first fell on Qu Moying's face. Then, it turned to Duan Jinxiang's face, and his expression immediately became a bit cold. The gaze he fixed upon Duan Jinxiang was so cold and gloomy that Duan Jinxiang immediately lowered her head in fright. She involuntarily slowed down, and she hid behind Qu Moying's wheelchair.At this time, she did not have the mood to find fault with Qu Moying, nor did she dare to look directly into Xu Lipeng's eyes. She was trying her best to hide herself."How is Concubine Yu?" Qu Moying asked gracefully."I don't know yet. It seems..." Xu Lipeng had a headache. His brows furrowed even m
"Madam, why are you looking for my lady?" Granny Yan stopped the aggressive Madam Duan at the door."I am looking for your Fourth Lady. Ask your Fourth Lady to come out." Madam Duan said bluntly. She was followed by Duan Jinxiang, who was crying with red eyes."Madam, if you have something to say, just say it here!" Granny Yan raised her head and looked at Madam Duan up and down. She said disdainfully."A mere servant dares to block me like this?" Madam Duan was angry. At this time, she became even angrier and scolded loudly."Madam, although I am only a servant, I am a servant from the palace, and my rank is the fourth grade," Granny Yan said unhurriedly.Some of the palace maids and eunuchs had ranks, and they, too, received their salaries.Madam Duan was stunned for a moment. She immediately restrained the anger on her face. Her expression became cautious. To be able to have a high-ranking palace
Xu Lipeng stood outside the yard with a gloomy face. The news of Yu Qingmeng losing her child had been confirmed. Qu Mansion's Old Lady had already left, and Duan Mansion's mother and daughter had also left. He had the doctor and the female doctor in the yard tidy up and wanted to take Yu Qingmeng away.This was Qu Mansion, and Yu Qingmeng was only a concubine. The biggest connection between her and Qu Mansion was Yu. Now that Yu was ill like this, it was not suitable for Yu Qingmeng to stay."Greetings, Young Master Xu." Granny Miao came in and saluted."What is it?" Xu Lipeng turned around and said coldly."The doctor who came to the mansion today to treat our Second Madam was here for the first time. Originally, he was going to leave after checking on her, but because he was discussing medicine with the Second Madam, he delayed for about two hours and happened to encounter Concubine Yu's matter. In the past, when the doct
"Granny, let's talk about the future later," Qu Moying said indifferently.Her biggest opponents were Crown Prince and Ji Youran. To her, Xu Lipeng was just a small obstacle in her path. She would not take him seriously.Qu Moying casually picked up a book on the table and flipped through it.It was a book that the embroidery workshop had sent over. It was something that the embroidery workshop had sorted out. They asked her to pick out the embroidery patterns on her sleeves and collar by herself.Her watery eyes scanned across the embroidery patterns on the book. Qu Moying casually picked a few butterfly patterns, put the book down, and asked Granny Miao to tell the embroidery workshop.She indeed needed clothes. Since she was going to enter the palace, her current clothes were indeed not suitable. She also did not know what Dowager Consort Qu in the palace was planning. Dowager Consort Qu had never expressed h
After a long time, Yu woke up. She reached out to hold Hai Lan's hand. There was a faint trace of blood on the corner of her lips. She looked toward the door with hatred. "How... How can he do this... How can he do this to me... I gave birth to children for him, but in his heart, I still can't compare to that woman..."Hai Lan understood what Yu was talking about. Her expression changed greatly. She reached out to cover Yu's mouth and said with a trembling voice, "Madam, Madam, please don't say that. Please.""Don't say that? What are you talking about? He is about to take my life... Could it be that without me, he... would marry that woman...? That woman..." Yu was extremely excited as she struggled. She forcefully pushed Hai Lan away. Her smile was extremely miserable, and blood flowed down from the corner of her lips. "I thought I won. Actually, neither of us won. In his heart... In his heart there is always...""Madam, even if you do
"Let's wait a little longer," Qu Moying said indifferently."My lady, why should we wait a little longer? Since you are already handling the family affairs, can't we send someone to investigate Madam's dowry?" Granny Zhou asked in confusion."There's no hurry." Qu Moying shook her head, already having an idea in her heart.Yu was grounded. No matter what Qu Zhizhen's goal was, there was at least one thing that she was sure of—Yu's power will not extend too far for now.The affairs in the mansion had fallen into Qu Qiuyan's hands before. This time, Qu Qiuyan must have also interfered in this matter. At this time, Qu Moying could be considered to have gained half of Qu Qiuyan's power to handle the family affairs. Qu Qiuyan was not going to be happy about this.After scheming against her again and again, no matter how much Qu Qiuyan could endure, Qu Moying was afraid that Qu Qiuyan would not be able to endure it no
"Grandmother, why did Duke Qi's Mansion give us the invitation?" Qu Moying asked the Old Lady curiously. She flipped through Duke Qi's Mansion's invitation.Sitting opposite her was Qu Qiuyan, who was called over by the Old Lady. She was also surprised.An old aristocratic family like Duke Qi's Mansion had a distinguished status. Yu's status wasn't high enough to communicate with Duchess Qi. As a result, Duke Qi's Mansion had never sent invitations to Qu Mansion."I don't know either. I heard that your father used some kind of method." The Old Lady said with a smile. Originally, she didn't like to go out, but this time, she must go out to take a look. If she didn't go, Qu Mansion's several ladies couldn't go out too. As of now, Yu couldn't attend the banquet.Thus, the Old Lady had to be there herself.The fourth lady's marriage could not be delayed for too long. It wasn't just the fourth lady. Efforts had to be
When they arrived at East Mansion, Qu Qiuyan and Qu Moying did not see Luo from the first branch. They heard that she had just left.Not managing to see Luo, the two sisters planned to come back, but when they went out, they saw Qu Caiyue.Since the last time they came back, it was the first time they saw Qu Caiyue.When Qu Caiyue saw the two of them, she was also slightly stunned."Second Sister, why didn't you go out with Aunt Luo? I heard that Aunt Luo brought Eldest Sister out today." Qu Qiuyan had an idea and asked with a smile.When they went to ask just now, the maid from the first branch told them that Luo had something to do and had gone out of the city with Qu Xuexin. However, the maid didn't explain it in detail.Qu Moying bowed to Qu Caiyue."Qiuyan..." Qu Caiyue didn't seem to be in good spirits. She glanced at Qu Moying with impatience in her eyes, feeling that Qu Moying w
