Qu Qiuyan flung her sleeve and pouted. "I'm not going. You go yourself. I'll go back first."
Seeing her expression, Qu Mingcheng knew that he could not force her. He could only let go of her hand and gently comforted her, "You go back first. I will come to see you later."
"Then I'll leave first." Qu Qiuyan said.
Qu Mingcheng nodded and watched Qu Qiuyan leave before entering the room.
After spitting a mouthful of blood, Yu lay on the bed, exhausted. She saw stars, and she was gasping with her eyes closed like a defeated cock.
"Second Young Master has come!" Hai Lan's excited voice rang in her ears.
Lying on the bed, Yu hurriedly opened her eyes and asked eagerly, "Is Mingcheng here? Where is Mingcheng?"
"Mother, I am here." Qu Mingcheng walked to the side of the bed and sat down on a chair. He grabbed Yu's hand and asked, "Mother, are you feeling better?"
Holding Qu Mingche
The assassins had yet to be found out. Everyone in the capital was trying to find out who launched the assassination, but it was too difficult.The assassins had all escaped unscathed. Just as the guards were about to attack them with all their might, they all escaped.The Crown Prince and Lord Jing were both safe and sound, so many people thought that there was something strange about the assassination. Some people even thought that it was related to the Crown Prince and Lord Jing.After all, the previous assassination involved Lord Yun, so it was possible that the Crown Prince and Lord Jing planned this assassination to purge themselves of suspicion regarding the previous assassination.Otherwise, why couldn't an assassin be caught? The injured assassin was taken away. The only one who was hurt was a woman in the Crown Prince Mansion. The one in Lord Jing Mansion did not even have a title.Because of the assas
"Fourth Lady, Her Ladyship wants to see you." An old maid sent by the Old Lady said with a smile."Is there anything?" Qu Moying asked in surprise. When she greeted the Old Lady this morning, the Old Lady didn't say anything. Why did the Old Lady suddenly send someone over at this time?"Fourth Lady, you will know as long as you get there." The old maid was all smiles. It seemed to be a good thing.Seeing that the old maid really didn't want to tell her, Qu Moying didn't ask again. She asked Yu Chun to help her freshen up. Then, she went to the Old Lady's yard with Yu Chun.When Qu Moying entered the Old Lady's room, she saw that there was a guest in the room. She lowered her head and went forward, and then she bowed to the Old Lady in the middle. "Greetings, grandmother.""Come here. Come and meet your Cousin Xiao." Old Lady Qu said with a smile.Qu Moying obediently took two steps forward and look
"Moying, did you find anything?" Qu Xuexin whispered into Qu Moying's ear.Qu Moying raised her eyebrows and looked at Qu Xuexin. She shook her head and pointed outside, signaling Qu Xuexin to continue listening.The matters outside had basically been dealt with. Hai Lan could do nothing except follow the Ministry of Justice's official.After the people outside left, Qu Xuexin and Qu Moying came out from behind the folding screen.The two of them sat down on both sides of the Old Lady."Grandmother, what shop were you talking about? Is it Madam's own shop?" Qu Moying looked up and asked.In fact, Yu didn't have her own shop. She entered the mansion as a noble concubine. How could she have any shops?Qu Moying's words reminded the Old Lady, and she said, "Granny Wu, go and find out which shop Yu is in charge of. Where did she get the deed of the shop?"The mansion was in cha
"Your mother's dowry?" Qu Qiuyan was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Qu Xuexin beside her, only to see Qu Xuexin nodding at her."Yes, it is my mother's dowry." Qu Moying said flatly. The corners of her lips curled into a faintly mocking smile."You... you're talking nonsense. They belong to the mansion. They are father's shops." Qu Qiuyan shook her head in disbelief and said subconsciously.Qu Moying still smiled and said, "They are my mother's property. How could they be the mansion's property? Grandmother has made it clear. Third Sister, please give the account books to me so that I could investigate them clearly in case the Ministry of Justice comes to us again and charges us with the crime of deception.""What... what do you mean?" Qu Qiuyan's expression changed drastically. Why was this related to the Ministry of Justice?"I heard that someone from Mrs. Yu's family is taking care of my
When the Old Lady arrived at Qu Zhizhen's study, Qu Zhizhen had already received the news. After he helped the Old Lady inside to sit down, he looked at Hai Lan, who had already knelt in front of him, and said with a gloomy face, "Tell me everything in detail."Aunty Hai Lan didn't dare to hold back anything, so she told him everything in detail, including Yu Qian asking an old maid to ask for her instruction."Mother, Yu's people did this themselves." Qu Zhizhen said with certainty after hearing Hai Lan's confession."I know, but this matter is related to our mansion. Think about it, others will wonder how Yu Qian had the guts to lie to the people of Duke Yu Mansion? He wouldn't dare unless he has someone backing him up." The Old Lady couldn't help but frown as she sighed."You can leave now." Qu Zhizhen ordered Aunty Hai Lan coldly.Aunty Hai Lan hurriedly retreated."Mother, even big families lik
"Is it related to Duke Yu Mansion?" Qu Moying also received the news at this time. She was surprised. She did not expect Yu Qian to have connections with someone in Duke Yu Mansion."Yes, I heard that it was a manager beside Duchess Yu." Granny Miao reported. She had just heard it from outside the mansion. Ever since Hai Lan had returned, no one in the mansion dared to gossip about this matter."Has Duchess Yu returned to the capital?" Qu Moying blinked her eyes and asked."I don't think so. I didn't hear about her. I only heard about the manager beside Duchess Yu. Master had just gone out. I heard that he went to Duke Yu Mansion." Granny Miao connected the things that she had heard before and said.Qu Zhizhen was out. He must have gone to explain to Duke Yu.Qu Moying didn't know much about the matter between Duchess Yu and Duke Yu in her previous life. She only knew that her father respected Duke Yu very much,
"Someone from the Qu Mansion cheated others and was caught by the Ministry of Justice. I don't know if it's true or not." Liu Jingyu smiled and answered casually."Someone from the Qu Mansion cheated others? Is that true?" A lady who had never heard of this before widened her eyes in disbelief."I know about this matter. I heard that a servant of Vice Minister Qu's Mansion cheated someone by selling their mansion's shop to the person without authorization. This matter is still under investigation." A lady with family members who worked in the Ministry of Justice heard about it, so she joined the topic."Why is the case handled by the Ministry of Justice? Is it that serious?" Another lady asked in confusion.Yamen would usually take care of such fraud cases, and the most serious ones would be handled by the governor of the capital. But the Ministry of Justice took care of the case this time. Was this case that serious?
They watched Qu Moying enter the shop. Judging by her appearance and bearing, they could tell who she was.Her eye disease was the most obvious sign.The crowd gathered outside and switched the topic to Qu Moying. As they were talking, they suddenly saw Granny Miao and Yu Dong coming out. After wiping the table at the door, they put some pastries on it.They also put some incense sticks and strings of paper money on the table. It seemed that they were going to worship heaven to dispel the bad luck. It was indeed an unlucky thing, and it was normal for the shop owner to do so. Many people would worship heaven after getting out of lawsuits. But the one who was involved in the lawsuit was a shop but not a human.It was normal to see such things in the capital.It was said that if one ate the pastries that were used to dispel the bad luck, one's bad luck would also be dispelled. Therefore, many people stopped and wa
