In the end, Qu Qiuyan still couldn't escape the punishment. At the very least, she really had gotten into a fight with Qu Caiyue.
This time, the Old Lady was angry. She severely reprimanded Qu Qiuyan and warned her that if she did such a bad thing again, she would punish her according to the family rules.
After going to Dabei Temple and acquiring the Buddhist scripture tomorrow, Qu Qiuyan would have to copy it a hundred times though she would not be grounded.
These words were said in front of Furong House's servants. This time, Qu Qiuyan was severely humiliated.
She had freshened up again, but her face was red with anger. Although she lowered her head and accepted the Old Lady's instructions obediently, it could be seen that she was secretly gritting her teeth.
Qu Moying stood quietly by the Old Lady's side. She looked coldly at Qu Qiuyan. Then, she glanced at the servants in the yard. They were Qu Qiuyan's serv
"Hai Lan, am I really not doing well?" After the doctor left, Yu asked Hai Lan, who was standing on the side, from behind the gauze curtain.This was already the fourth doctor she had sent for, but every doctor's words were the same. Yu was very anxious. She had gained some weight in the past few days. Her figure was almost the same as before, but she looked a little gloomy."Madam, if you take good care of yourself, you might be able to give birth to the baby." Hai Lan didn't dare to answer too straightforwardly, so she phrased her words cautiously. She went up to lift the gauze curtain. Yu was sitting on the bed and stroking her belly.Yu was pregnant. She found it after coming back from Crown Prince's Mansion, but at that time, she had already taken a lot of powerful medicines because her body was too weak. Only after consuming all those medicines did she survive.Yu's face was gloomy, covering her belly with her hands, n
When Qu Moying first met Liu Jingyu, she saw Liu Jingyu's unfriendly gaze from afar. Liu Jingyu set her up in Duke Qi's Mansion last time, and the incident fully reflected her malice.Several things happened to Qu Moying in Duke Qi's Mansion: her clothes were wet by a maid. When she was going to change her clothes in the yard, the Eldest Young Master of Duke Qi's Mansion came over with a group of young masters. Then, Yan Yujiao, who later left with Liu Jingyu who appeared at the scene "by accident", suddenly got angry with her.The last thing was done by Qu Qiuyan. She must have planned it long ago. Duchess Qi investigated the affair, but she found nothing. If Liu Jingyu had also intervened, it would make sense. After all, she was Duchess Qi's most beloved granddaughter. In Duke Qi's Mansion, she was more like a master than Qi Xiangyu.Thinking of Liu Jingyu, Qu Moying felt a heavy blow in her heart. She didn't remember seeing Liu Jingyu
Granny Qing did take action at night. She walked very carefully and stopped at a turn to look behind every time. It was very quiet, and there was no one behind her. She walked around for a long time before walking to where sacrificial offerings were placed. Some offerings were placed there, but not many.There were two sets of incense sticks and candles, some serving pastries, some rough straw paper, and a few ordinary offerings.Since they were going to Dabei Temple, it was only natural for them to prepare the offerings to worship Yue.The Old Lady was an elder, so she didn't need to prepare much. Other than the incenses, there were only two ordinary sachets. Inside was the mugwort. It was just right to burn them together with the straw paper.Noble families in the capital would prepare sachets if they were to worship deceased women.A few sachets were enough. With sachets, it could show that the one being wors
Pei Yuanjun reached out his hand and pinched a strand of Qu Moying's hair, twirling it with his fingers. Then, he raised his head and met Qu Moying's bright eyes. She looked at him in shock, not understanding why he was doing this."If I need anything, I will come and get it. I will leave it here for the time being." Pei Yuanjun loosened his fingers, and Qu Moying's hair slowly fell down from his fingers.Then he stood up, straightened his collar, and glanced at Qu Moying with a smile. "I heard that you're going to Dabei Temple tomorrow.""What can I do for you, Your Highness?" Qu Moying asked carefully.Pei Yuanjun stood in front of the bed, the shadow of his tall figure almost covering her and making her unable to see the expression on his face."There is one thing. Let Pei Yusheng see Lady Liu again. It's time for her to go back to the border."There were too many messages in his words. Qu Moying
The other scoundrels looked frivolous, but the one in the middle walked firmly, seemingly different from the other scoundrels.Seeing such a strange person at this time, Yu Dong naturally had some doubts. After taking a few more glances at the person, Yu Dong already had an idea in his heart. He would send someone to check on these scoundrels later. If there was nothing wrong with them, that would be the best. But if they did harbor ill intent, he could make arrangements early.As soon as Yu Dong brought the offerings into the yard, Qu Moying had tidied up. She held a sachet in her hand. Yu Dong did not see it clearly and thought it was the one made by Qu Moying. He asked, "Miss, is there anything wrong with this sachet?""Yes!" Qu Moying nodded. She put the sachet in front of her nose and sniffed. The smell of mugwort was very strong, almost pungent, but she could also smell another faint fragrance from the sachet. It was from a kind of
Qu Moying walked in front, followed by Yu Chun and Yu Dong with offerings in their hands. A few steps away was Qu Qiuyan, followed by only one maid. Qu Moying and Qu Qiuyan were a little far away from each other. They did not seem to be going together to the same place.They seemed to be two irrelevant teams, each going its own way.They did not say anything. There was only the sound of footsteps and the skirt sweeping the floor, which was light and disordered.Eternal flames were placed in different Buddha halls in Dabei Temple, and they were placed according to the statuses of the people being worshipped.Yue's identity allowed her eternal flame to be placed in the same Buddha hall as those powerful and high-status people, even though it was only at the corner.When Ji Hanyue was still alive, she would come to this hall every time she came to Dabei Temple. Later, Qu Mansion's Yue's eternal flame and Ling Mansi
"Yongming, there's nothing I can do. You used to be filial and listen to me. Now, I need you to bless your younger brother... He... He had no choice... It was all your own doing. If you hadn't done...you wouldn't have ended up like this..."Tears fell from Old Lady Ji's eyes as she spoke, and she placed the incense sticks in her hand into the incense burner as she muttered to herself.Concubine Xiang looked up at the eternal flame, and tears immediately fell down. She couldn't help but sob. Ji Yongming was a hero back then, but now there was only his eternal flame, which made her feel sad.Concubine Xiang knelt down on the praying mat. She picked up the paper money next to her and burned it, tears streaming down her face. She felt extremely sad.Yue's eternal flame was next to Earl Ling'an's. Concubine Xiang knelt on the praying mat in between, sobbing.The old maid was burning paper money for Earl Ling'an, and
"Brother Qian, how can there be a beauty in such a place?""You'll know when you see it. Maybe there is one!" Brother Qian said with a smile. "If there is a beauty, you can't snatch her away from me.""It depends on how beautiful she is. If she is gorgeous, I won't let you have her for yourself..." Another scoundrel teased.They were playboys. They always went to brothels together, so they could say all kinds of nonsense."That's right. If it's really a beauty, you can't keep her for yourself. You should share her with us..." Another scoundrel said with a dirty smile."Alright, if we see a beauty later, we will share her." Brother Qian laughed out loud. He entered the door and casually walked up to the corner as he talked nonsense.As they chatted and laughed, they did not see anyone."What's the smell? It is so strong." A scoundrel sniffed and asked."It must be the smell
