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
"Your Highness." Ji Youran hurried to the yard where Crown Prince lived. When she reached the door, she composed herself and asked someone to go in and report. Then, she followed that person inside. When she saw Pei Luo'an, she immediately bowed. Her eyes were weak and red. She looked extremely pitiful!"What is it?" Pei Luo'an glanced at her indifferently, and a trace of impatience flashed through his eyes.In the past few days, Ji Youran had used this matter to trouble him a lot. It wasn't that he didn't want to help the Ji Family's second branch inherit the title, but there really was nothing he could do now.Thinking of how Father had reprimanded him just now, Pei Luo'an felt depressed.Most importantly, at that time, Pei Yuanjun was still there. Pei Yuanjun's eyes were as if smiling, and he leaned against the chair railing. Pei Yuanjun looked at Pei Luo'an with a bit of ridicule in his eyes, which made Pei Luo'an even m
Outside of the Empress' Pepper House Hall, Lord Yun slowly walked over."My lord, this way, please. The Empress has been waiting for you for a long time." Pepper House Hall's manager eunuch had been waiting there for a long time. He smiled and said."Other than me, who else has come?" Pei Yuanjun said unhurriedly.He came to the Empress' Pepper House Hall because of the Emperor's order, and he naturally knew the purpose."Lord Jing, Lord Wei, and Lord Yan have also come." The manager eunuch smiled. "They have arrived early and are waiting for you.""Oh, are you blaming me for coming late?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows, curling up the corner of his mouth.The manager eunuch was shocked. He hurriedly shook his head. "It's not that. The Empress is not ready yet. It's just that those Lords came early, but you are not late, my lord."No matter how late Lord Yun was, the manager eunuch did
The so-called first-sight attraction referred to Qu Moying!WIth Qu Moying's identity, she could at most be a Princess. What the Empress meant in her words was very clear. If Pei Yuanjun did not decide on a Princess Consort, Qu Moying, as the so-called Princess, would not be able to marry into the mansion.Even if Pei Yuanjun was attracted to Qu Moying at first sight, it was impossible for her to marry into the mansion without Pei Yuanjun marrying a Princess Consort first.Obviously, the Empress was probing Pei Yuanjun by saying these words. Was the woman who could make Pei Yuanjun stop refusing marriage just a casual excuse?"Thank you, Your Grace. However, I don't know who my Princess Consort would be. I'm afraid I might not be able to find one so soon. Fortunately, I am not in a hurry to marry. So I'll have to trouble you, Your Grace." Pei Yuanjun stood up, smiled, and cupped his hands slightly. He said with an unknown me
