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
"What nonsense are you talking about..." The manager was angry and annoyed at being scolded by so many people. However, he was unable to argue against so many people. He was so angry that he pushed the people again while shouting, "My master has a distinguished status. How can you lowly people judge her?"This time, Granny Miao was at the front of the crowd again. She fell badly. After she was pushed to the ground, she rolled her eyes up and fainted, foaming at her mouth. But coincidentally, when her feet reached out, she tripped over the manager, and the manager also fell to the ground with a plop.When Granny Miao fell over, everyone hurriedly reached out to help her, but when the manager fell, many people stepped back, not wanting to help him.He fell to the ground, his face turning green with pain. He held his waist with one hand and pointed at the people around him as he cursed, "How dare you make trouble here? I will ask Princess J
"Miss Liu, the king said that there is no female master in the residence, so he is not in a position to receive you, and asked if there is anything important you need?" A guard descended from the steps and walked to Liu Lanxin's carriage, giving a respectful salute inside.Liu Lanxin's carriage was again blocked in front of the Ying Wang Mansion."It's an important matter, a message from father's side." Liu Lanxin reached out and pressed the cuff of his sleeve, there was indeed a letter there, a letter to the King of England.The guards didn't dare to delay the border matter and said to Liu Lanxin, "Miss Liu wait a moment."After saying that, he turned around and went inside to report.This time it took a little longer to get in, long enough for the originally chesty Liu Lanxin to feel like things weren't a little unexpected again.Finally, the guards reappeared and smiled at Liu Lanxin, "Miss Liu, our king invites you in.""Good!" A big sto
Zhu Yan'er did not expect Yu Dong actually remembered her, and also demolished her identity, but in her reaction is also fast, slightly flustered after, immediately asked with a smile; "Which house are you from?""Slave servant is from the Qu Mansion, Miss Zhu, please." Yu Dong moved to the side and reached out to lead the way to the private room.Zhu Yan'er this is also difficult to ride the tiger, had to make a look with a few points of bewilderment to the private room, as if she really did not mean it, originally just want to make some trouble out of it, and now also put themselves into it.Yu Dong, the maid, was still recognized by the people around her just now.Her features carried a bit of the innate cluelessness of a young girl, easily inviting, and while some were skeptical, there was a part of her that was immediately convinced that she was truly innocent.It's just the maids under her that are petulant.A maid is not good, even the mast
That rather strange Mr. Zhao was actually amongst the crowd, standing with his hands behind his back under a store on one side, watching the slowly moving carriages on the street.Looking at his upright posture, it is hard to believe that he actually also came to see the fun, should be coincidentally encountered, and he has been blocked up like himself."Mr. Zhao?" Yu Dong saw her stop moving and her gaze looked over.Qu Mo Ying nodded and turned to leave after a couple more looks.Down the stairs, got into the carriage, followed the traffic slowly forward, the curtain of the window of the car outside a layer had been picked up before, the inner layer is made of yarn, from the inside can see the outside, but the outside can not see clearly inside.It wasn't annoying to pass by while looking at the passersby on both sides of the road.See that Zhao Gongzi again, a flash, in fact, did not see clearly, this Zhao Gongzi seems to be talking to a person
"Is it Fourth Miss Qu?" Outside was a maid, looking a little familiar, Yu Dong thought a little and immediately recognized it."It's our young lady." With a slight smile, she stepped forward and replied, giving a bow to the woman standing behind her, Miss Liu Lanxin, the daughter of the Auxiliary General, still wearing the appearance of a thin veil over her eyes."Our lady is from the Auxiliary General's residence, and we have met your lady before." The maiden laughed."Slave girl will go report to our young lady." Yu Dong turned around and went in, and when she came out again she invited Miss Liu in."Miss Liu!" Qu Mo Ying stood up and saluted.Liu Lanxin also smiled and gave a salute, and the two of them politely took their seats."Fang looked like Fourth Miss Qu, so I came over to meet her." Liu Lanxin smiles, "Since the last time I saw Fourth Miss Qu, I didn't expect to see her after such a long time."The last time the two met was in th
The carriage slowly moved forward, Qu Mo Ying sat in the carriage, there has been a period of time did not go to the auxiliary to visit, this time to take advantage of the matter of clothes to go by the way to go to the Yueyi Pavilion to take a look.Qi Gongfu today and sent people over, said some details of the matter, the dowager lady thought to also pay attention to some details, never let people from the top of the clothes than the Qi Gongfu.The more clothes cabinet is doing this kind of business, Qu Mo Ying got the meaning of the dowager lady to the more clothes cabinet to pick some of their own, but also with the shopkeeper Yang aunt to discuss how to better, this aspect of Yang aunt can be regarded as a competent hand, the most will help people accessorize the clothes, some small details, it is possible to affect the overall feeling."Why is it still stuck in traffic?" The carriage had been stuck in the traffic jam for some time, Qu Mo Ying gently lifted th
Sister Miao was from the northern border and had come to the capital before to find someone to join her.In fact, it's not really a family member, just looking for the original village old folks, the village because of a disaster, almost no one escaped again.This part of the past, what Qu Mo Ying knew was not clear, this was Sister Miao's hidden pain, since Sister Miao was not willing to talk about it in detail, she would not force her.In the next period of time, the Duke of Qi's residence sent people over from time to time to deal with some small problems in the details, fearing that there would be the slightest mistake.Attitude prudent so that Mrs. Qu feel that the Duke of Qi is not too much attention, originally just change one of the three, is not the most important set of clothes at the time of the big make-up.Qi Gongfu so practice let her a lot of pressure, as if Qi Gongfu do more than she this pro-grandmother, but also on the heart, is to sho
"Miss, this is the jewelry sent by the Duke of Qi's residence, saying that it's for use with the clothes." Yu Dong walked in with a gift box in her hand.The gift box was put down, and after Sister Yan walked over and opened it, she took a look at it and nodded, "Miss, this is an excellent set of jewelry, it's very suitable for a maturity dress, and I'm afraid the value of this isn't small.""After dispensing, send it back." Qu Mo Ying's eyes were pale as he said."Sending it back, miss, I'm afraid this is not in keeping with etiquette!" Sister Yan shook her head, a big family, since it was sent, where was the reason to return it."The Duke of Qi gave me such a big gift, where can I accept it raw, I have to return the gift, choose one of similar value and return the gift!"Qu Mo Ying thought for a moment and said, she was not willing to owe the Duke of Qi at all, as long as she thought of her mother's death, she felt that the jewelry in front of her wei
"Mother, what is the matter you called me over for?" As Liu Jingyu entered, she playfully bowed to Mrs. Liu."Sit here mother." Mrs. Willow beckoned to her.Seeing her mother's rare closeness, Liu Jingyu was in quite a good mood as she took two steps forward and sat down next to Mrs. Liu.Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Jingyu to say something."Mother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Mrs. Liu in this form, Liu Jingyu's face sank and she asked eagerly."There is nothing much, just heard the news that came from the Duke of Qi's house before, and felt ..." Mrs. Liu sighed a long breath, and the words came here, and for a while she actually couldn't go on."What did Grandmother do again? Something to do with Qu Mo Ying?" Liu Jingyu asked almost intuitively.The feeling as if she was a natural enemy immediately lifted her spirits.Mrs. Liu nodded gently, "Your maternal grandmother recently did not know what was wrong, but actually so close to this y
"What does Mrs. Qi mean?" Mrs. Qu looked at the matron of the Duke of Qi's house in front of her and said in surprise."Qu second lady's matter, we all feel guilty all over the house, the old Duke of State almost wanted to move to Jiangnan, directly to Qu second lady's father to ask for forgiveness, but the Duke of State did not agree, the old Duke of State must be older after all, I heard that the Qu fourth young lady is going to have her maturity rite, our dowager lady's intention, want to make a set of clothes for the Qu fourth young lady."The granny sent by the Duke of Qi's residence was very good at talking, sighing, feeling, and finally longing.The people of the King's House came and left with great fanfare, a little inquiring to know the meaning of the King's House, actually want to make a set of dresses for this Qu fourth young lady at the time of the maturity of the big makeup."His Highness the King of England has already sent someone." Mrs. Qu wa
