Qu Moying and Qu Xuexin left Old Lady Qu's place after greeting her. Just as they were about to separate at the yard's gate, Qu Xuexin suddenly called out to Qu Moying, "Moying, let's go and see Qiuyan, okay?"
In the past few days, Qu Xuexin came to West Mansion almost every day, and she met Qu Moying more often. Every time she met Qu Moying, she would greet Qu Moying with concern, and occasionally she would go to Qianyue House with Qu Moying. The two of them seemed to be much closer to each other in the Old Lady's eyes.
Old Lady Qu felt relieved to see this. She was always worried that Qu Moying would feel lonely after returning to the mansion. Her sisters were not that kind to her. After all, they had not grown up together.
She was relieved to see Qu Xuexin getting along well with Qu Moying. She thought Qu Xuexin was kind.
With a faint smile on her face, Qu Moying shook her head and said, "Eldest Sister, I won't go to see
"Qiuyan, you can go out for a walk. Don't keep it all to yourself. If there's anything, talk it out with us." Qu Xuexin was persuading Qu Qiuyan."Thank you, Eldest Sister." Qu Qiuyan lowered her head with a dejected face."You... You two... Alas..." Qu Xuexin looked at Qu Moying and then at Qu Qiuyan, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.Neither of them responded to Qu Xuexin's words. Qu Qiuyan still kept her head down, and Qu Moying looked at the embroidery on the handkerchief in her hand. Both of them were absent-minded.The room quieted down. For a moment, no one said anything.Suddenly, Qu Qiuyan raised her head and looked at Qu Moying angrily. "Qu Moying, tell me, did you cause my mother's miscarriage?"Qu Moying raised her head and sneered. "Who said that?"Qu Qiuyan glared at Qu Moying. "My mother said it."Qu Moying raised her eyebrows and looked at Qu
"He Mansion's third young master?" Pei Yuanjun raised his long and narrow eyes and looked at a small jar of water lotus on the table.The jar was only as big as a normal flower pot, but it was very delicate. The water lotus inside the vat was also not big, but it was pretty. Its color graduated from blue to pink, which was very beautiful.Although it was beautiful, it was eclipsed by Lord Yun.Above its big leaves, the water lotus was swaying, looking extremely gorgeous."Yes. It was said that Third Young Master He went to Qu Mansion to look at Fourth Lady Qu personally. When he returned to his mansion, he was very satisfied and agreed to marry her. His family is already preparing betrothal presents."Ji Hai reported with a smile."What betrothal presents did they prepare?" Pei Yuanjun asked lazily as he flicked the water lotus jar with his slender fingers.Ji Hai answered carefully, "I
"Lord Jing, did you come in a hurry after hearing the news?" Pei Yuanjun did not seem to notice Pei Yusheng's stiff expression as he continued, "If that's the case, you must have only heard He Mansion's one-sided statement, right?""He Dayu has always been kind. How could he do such a thing?" Pei Yusheng was still explaining."What you see might not be the truth. Lord Jing, even though you trust him, you have to send someone to investigate it first. You directly brought it up with His Majesty, which could be considered a false accusation."Pei Yuanjun said lazily.The two of them did not point out who was exactly guilty, but everyone present understood the meaning behind these words. Li Quan lowered his head, trying not to hear their words. He was not supposed to hear these words. It would be best if he did not hear them.Now that he could not retreat, he could only stand quietly without looking sideways. He kep
"What? Something happened to He Mansion?" When Old Lady Qu got the news, she was so shocked that she could hardly stand still. Granny Wu hurriedly reached out to support her."Yes. It's said that the ex-Third Madam He died from an unknown reason." Granny Wu wiped the sweat on her forehead. She just got the news. After hearing this news, she knew something bad was going to happen and hurriedly came to report to the Old Lady.The Old Lady didn't get it and asked anxiously, "Was she killed? Who killed her?""I don't know. There seemed to be some matters regarding beautiful maids." Granny Wu blushed. She was too embarrassed to continue, so she faltered, "They were tortured to death. The things are still under investigation. I don't know if they are true or not."This time, the Old Lady understood what she meant. She was stunned at first, and then she became furious. She pointed outside in exasperation. "Madam Li... How... How ca
Seeing Qu Xuexin's extremely pale face, the maid hurriedly reached out to support her."Xin, what's wrong?" A strange look flashed in the Old Lady's eyes as she looked at Qu Xuexin.Qu Xuexin reacted quickly. She held the maid's hand and looked at the Old Lady apologetically, "Grandmother... I... I'm dizzy."The maid helped her sit down on the stone bench.Qu Xuexin gently wiped her face with a handkerchief. Qu Moying could see that Qu Xuexin's hand was trembling.It seemed that this news was out of Qu Xuexin's expectations, which made her unable to control her expression and cover her face with a handkerchief.Qu Xuexin calmed herself down and asked the Old Lady gently with a much more natural expression, "Grandmother, did you just say that Third Young Master He is not a good guy?"But even so, Qu Moying could still feel that her tone was somewhat unnatural.It was not obv
The maid Hong Mei had been following Qu Xuexin. After returning to East Mansion, she couldn't help but ask Qu Xuexin, "Lady, did you take a fancy to Young Master Xiao?"Qu Xuexin's face was still gloomy. Hearing Hong Mei's words, she sneered. "It's not about fancy. He is an option. At the very least, he might have a bright future."Xiao Hanyuan was not bad, but his family couldn't compare with those aristocratic families in the capital. He was not the best choice. If possible, Qu Xuexin still wanted a better option.Luo kept telling Qu Xuexin that although she could not enter Lord Jing Mansion like Qu Qiuyan, she should at least marry into a big aristocratic family, or she couldn't hold her head up in front of Qu Qiuyan in the future.Qu Xuexin had thought that marrying Third Young Master He was not bad, but it turned out that Third Young Master He was a monster. Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that Yu Dong was so sure, Qu Moying frowned and could only nod, "Then go and find out how far the matter has gone!"No matter how serious the matter was, she had to be well-informed about the situation if she wanted to deal with it.Qu Mingcheng was still young. Even if he thought he was clever and had planned everything, He Dayu would definitely not act as usual. He must be like a mad dog, biting whoever he saw, so it was hard to say what would happen.Yu Dong complied with the order and hurriedly left. He was confident about this matter. Eunuch Ji Hai had instructed him that all he should do now was to protect Qu Moying from any harm, including personal safety and damage to her reputation.Qu Moying's status was low, and if her reputation was further tainted, the situation would be trickier!Yu Dong understood what Eunuch Ji Hai meant, and he had long regarded Qu Moying as his master.Even
"What? Mingcheng was taken to West Prison?" Hearing this news, Qu Zhizhen slammed his hand on the table in the study, almost standing up. Qu Mingcheng was his only son, and a promising one, so he couldn't help but feel worried."Yes, he was taken away with He Mansion's people. Master, please save Second Young Master. He shall be reaching West Prison now."The lad servant was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.Qu Zhizhen's face darkened. Everyone knew that West Prison was under Pei Yuanjun's control. Qu Zhizhen couldn't bail people out from West Prison easily.Qu Zhizhen calmed down and asked, "How did you know they were taken to West Prison?""He Mansion's people told me. They are now going to ask Lord Jing for help.""Why did Mingcheng go to He Mansion?" Qu Zhizhen asked with a frown as he keenly perceived something fishy. He had never heard that Qu Mingcheng had anything to do with
