It was actually her Grandfather's servant.
If her Grandfather was looking for her Grandmother, why didn't this servant go in? Why was he sneaking around? There seemed to be something in his hands. Did her Grandfather ask him to show it to her Grandmother?
Although Liu Jingyu was surprised, she did not take it to heart. She had something more important to do, so she continued to move forward.
The servant, who was hiding in the shadows, shrank back and carefully avoided Liu Jingyu's gaze. He was still waiting. He had just come over, but he did not see the person he was waiting for.
Qu Moying sat quietly behind Madam Dowager. She lowered her head and played with the handkerchief in her hand, casually listening to the conversation of the madams in the reception hall.
"Moying, Moying." Qu Moying felt her sleeve was pulled by someone, and she looked up at Qu Xuexin.
Qu Xuexin leaned over and whispered to
"County Lady, please go ahead!" Qu Moying said lightly after pondering for a moment."I heard that you are the ex-Crown Princess' cousin, and she took good care of you in the past. But when the ex-Crown Princess was seriously ill, why didn't you go to the Crown Prince's Mansion to take care of her? And you made a scene at the ex-Crown Princess and Earl Ling'an's funerals. Is the rumor wrong? Is there something we don't know between you and the ex-Crown Princess?"Liu Jingyu said in a gentle voice with a polite smile on her face. She even lowered her head and said, "If I said something wrong, please forgive me. Grandmother was kind to you out there just now, so I couldn't help asking."What she meant was that everyone knew these things and was spreading rumors. She wanted to know the truth from Qu Moying.A hint of gloominess flashed through Qu Moying's eyes. This time, she was sure that Liu Jingyu was really unkind to her, b
"Fourth Lady Qu, do you dare to talk to me in the Water Pavilion?" Yan Yujiao frowned as she tried her best to suppress her anger."I dare not!" Qu Moying looked at the Water Pavilion not far away and shook her head. She did not want to act on impulse.The Water Pavilion was built near the water. Where they were standing now happened to be an entrance. It was quiet and beautiful there, and it was indeed a good place to talk.However, Qu Moying did not want to go!Yan Yujiao did not expect her to refuse so decisively. She felt stuffy in her chest and sneered, "You are so timid, yet you dared to contradict County Lady Jingyu just now.""I'm indeed timid, but I do dare to contradict County Lady Jingyu! As for you, Miss Yan, I wonder how you dared to stand up for County Lady Jingyu and blaspheme the ex-Crown Princess." The corners of Qu Moying's lips curled up slightly. She didn't care who instigated Yan Yujiao to s
After saying that, Qu Qiuyan turned around and left, but after a few steps, she stopped and said, "Moying, why don't you come with me? It might be another letter for you.""No, thank you, Third Sister. Someone must have sent the wrong letter." Qu Moying said indifferently. She sat still, not intending to stand up.No matter what Qu Qiuyan was planning, Qu Moying did not intend to follow her out this time.Judging from Qu Qiuyan's previous panic-stricken look and her calm look now, Qu Moying thought Qu Qiuyan must have come up with another plan after her first plan failed. Although Qu Moying did not know what Qu Qiuyan's new plan was, she guessed it must have something to do with the first plan. Perhaps it was a plan to prevent the unexpected aftermath of the failed assassination.Qu Qiuyan was not so capable as to make a move in Duke Qi's Mansion. There must be someone who made the preparations for her outside the mansion.
The carriage to pick up Qu Moying did not wait at the door of Duke Qi's Mansion's backyard. Instead, it waited on the opposite side of the road, close to the backyard door of the other mansion, which made people feel like the carriage was waiting for someone in the opposite mansion.The door of Duke Qi's Mansion opened, and a maid came out. She looked around and seemed to be looking for someone.The carriage driver reacted. He drove the carriage over to the maid, his face almost covered by his hat. "Lady, are you going to the Yamen?""Yes, wait a moment. Our Miss will be here soon." The maid hurriedly nodded, turned around, and walked inside. It seemed that she was going to call her miss over.The carriage driver breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly his expression changed. He pulled the carriage shaft, jumped down from the other side of the carriage, turned around, and ran. In the blink of an eye, he ran far away and ente
Qu Moying was slightly stunned. She looked at Qi Xiangyu through the eye veil. Qi Xiangyu was supposed to have a higher status than Liu Jingyu because she was Duke Qi's granddaughter. However, she was out of favor because she was not related to Duchess Qi by blood. As a result, the position of County Lady which Duke Qi had exchanged for fell into Liu Jingyu's hands.Sure enough, judging from her words, no one was stupid."Thank you, Miss Qi." Qu Moying smiled gently.Qu Moying was a little thinner than the average girl. Her palm-sized face was covered by a wide eye veil, and only her lips were visible through the veil, making her look extremely weak.After hearing Qi Xiangyu's words, Qu Moying still looked calm.Qi Xiangyu pursed her lips and smiled. She was disappointed and did not say anything more. It seemed that Qu Moying did not dare to make a fuss out of this.Along the way, the two of them di
The Empress was scolded, but she only learned from the Emperor's words that someone wanted to assassinate Lord Yun. She did not know who the assassin was, but she was sure that her people did not make a move this time. It must be done by Noble Consort He and Lord Jing.Noble Consort He also didn't look well. As an imperial concubine and also the Emperor's favored imperial concubine, she had never been questioned like this. She was angry. Seeing the Empress staring at her, she suppressed her anger and forced a smile. She asked gently, "Your Majesty, what exactly happened? I came late, so I didn't understand."She meant that the Empress had been reprimanded for a longer time than her. The Empress' expression became even gloomier. She sneered, "Since you did not hear clearly, let me tell you. Someone tried to murder Lord Yun. I heard that it is related to the palace. His Majesty reprimanded me for not managing the inner palace well so that someone in th
"Mother, is there anything else?" Seeing the Empress' expression, Pei Luo'an asked uneasily."Actually, it's nothing..." The Empress thought for a moment and decided not to say it. "That's it. I am just unlucky today. How is your marriage? Do you like Liu Jingyu? She has Duke Qi's Mansion as her support, and she is the most beloved junior of Duke Qi. Minister Liu is also young and promising. He might be able to join the imperial cabinet soon. It's good for you to marry her."Marrying Liu Jingyu would have a lot of benefits, no less than marrying the Guardian General's daughter."Mother, there is no rush." Pei Luo'an frowned and said weakly, "I want to be in mourning for the ex-Crown Princess for a while longer.""It's urgent! You are the Crown Prince of the country. Previously, you delayed your marriage because of Ji Hanyue. Now, you don't have a son or a daughter. If Lord Jing gets married before you and has a child, you wi
Yu Dong came in in a hurry and wiped his sweat. "Miss, Noble Consort He has an oral instruction.""About Qu Caiyue?" Qu Moying was not surprised."Yes, it's about Second Lady. I heard that East Mansion's people are packing up and preparing to send Second Lady to Lord Jing Mansion immediately." Yu Dong nodded. He did not have a good impression of Qu Caiyue at all.Qu Caiyue had helped Qu Qiuyan to frame Qu Moying more than once. She was mean and vicious. Now that she had ended up in such a situation, it was really delightful."Without a title?" Yu Chun noticed something and asked with her eyes wide open."Yes, without a title. She said it would be decided in the future. After Lord Jing marries his Princess Consort, the Princess Consort will give Qu Caiyue a title. She won't be waiting for too long." Yu Dong smiled."This... this is too much." Yu Chun said.These words sounded nice, makin
