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
People who had a clear conscience would not be afraid of ghosts, but Old Lady Ji had a guilty conscience, so she believed what she saw were ghosts."Your Ladyship... Your Ladyship..." Qu Moying called softly.Old Lady Ji finally felt that she had come back to life. She could recognize the person in front of her was the Fourth Lady of Vice Minister Qu's Mansion at a glance because she had seen her before. She felt relieved because the person wasn't Ji Hanyue. She looked around and saw that there were many people around, including monks, pilgrims, as well as some madams and young ladies from aristocratic families."What happened to me?" Old Lady Ji touched her own hand. Her pale face turned a little red."When I came in with this master just now, I saw these people surrounding you. Did they harm you? If they didn't, how could you faint here?""Are these my uncle and aunt's eternal flames?" Qu Moying looked up at t
"What exactly happened?" Old Lady Qu pounded the table and almost stood up.Granny Qing's matter was already very clear. The scoundrels had testified against her. The Ji Family's servants came over angrily to convey Old Lady Ji's attitude that Granny Qing must be punished seriously because she dared to plot against the Masters.The Ji Family's servants complained angrily in front of Old Lady Qu, saying that Old Lady Ji had suffered an undeserved disaster and was inexplicably in trouble. Otherwise, it would have been Qu Moying who had been in trouble.They asked Old Lady Qu to explain the matter to the Ji Family after investigating it.They also said that Granny Qing should be punished immediately.Granny Qing knelt down in the hall, shivering with a pale face. She kowtowed hard, making continuous "bang" sounds. Her forehead was red and swollen after kowtowing a few times.With all the evidence, how
"Ying, this..." Old Lady Qu sighed and reached out to pat Qu Moying's hand. Her smile was forced, and her eyes were filled with mixed emotion."Grandmother, it's over. Don't be sad." Qu Moying comforted her softly.Old Lady Qu's eyes turned red when she heard Qu Moying's comforting words. She thought Qu Moying was too sensible. But the more sensible Qu Moying was, the more Old Lady Qu felt sorry for her. Qu Moying lost her mother when she was a kid, and her father was unreliable, who treated her not even as well as he treated strangers.Moreover, Qu Moying had eye disease since she was a child. Of course, her eye disease was definitely caused by Yu.Old Lady Qu couldn't help but pity Qu Moying.But Qu Moying was so magnanimous. It was obvious that Qu Qiuyan was behind this matter, but now Qu Moying was advising Old Lady Qu to let it go."Ying, I... I'm sorry for your mother. I'm sorry for you!" Old
This time, Old Lady Ji made up her mind that no matter what her second son and second daughter-in-law said, she would handle Concubine Xiang's matter properly.Yuanhai was not old enough to inherit the title now, but Concubine Xiang could immediately be promoted to a legitimate wife. Old Lady Ji was afraid that if she did nothing, Ji Hanyue would visit her in the dream again.Thinking of this, Old Lady Ji became so afraid that her whole body shrank into the quilt.The two old maids looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. They put their hands together and bowed their heads to pray silently.Old Lady Ji was so scared that she eagerly wanted to do something to make up for Ji Hanyue, so she decided to handle Concubine Xiang's thing first. Even if Concubine Xiang became a legitimate wife, it didn't matter at all to Old Lady Ji. As for whether it would be a problem for the second branch...Old Lady Ji did
Seeing Pei Yusheng act like this, Chun Xiu hurriedly stepped in front of the curtain. "Your Highness, our young miss has eye disease, so it is inconvenient for her to be seen by others.""It doesn't matter. If Lady Liu wants, I will ask someone to treat Lady Liu's eyes. I heard that Vice Minister Qu's Mansion's Fourth Lady's eye disease is almost cured." Pei Yusheng couldn't force his way over because Chun Xiu blocked the way. He looked a bit displeased, and his gaze turned cold as he looked at Chun Xiu.If Chun Xiu was just an ordinary maid, she would not dare to say anything else at this time."Your Highness." A young eunuch rushed in and whispered a few words in Pei Yusheng's ear. Pei Yusheng frowned and stepped forward after hesitating for a moment. Chun Xiu was just a maid, and she could not help but take a step back."Lady Liu, although I have talked to you these days, I have never seen your face. I may not recognize y
Dabei Temple's light was not bright at night. Under the dim light, the obscure and yellow Buddha statue cast a shadow on the wall, looking weird.This was the small Buddha hall that Qu Qiuyan had found. There was only a small Buddha statue inside, but she did not know which Buddha it was. Qu Qiuyan only felt that the Buddha statue was extremely ferocious. It was different from the other Buddha statues she had seen in the past. She stood beside the Buddha statue and looked at the door of the hall with expectation.When she heard that Lord Jing was now in Dabei Temple, Qu Qiuyan used a method to escape the old maid who was guarding her.She was determined to see Lord Jing. If she couldn't see him, she would rush over to see him. She would even risk her life to see him.This was the message Qu Qiuyan asked Qing Ju to deliver to Lord Jing.Although her words were resolute, she was nervous and wasn't really going to
