Mrs. He did not expect Granny Yan to say so. Her face darkened, and she snorted, "Even so, you won't stop Fourth Lady Qu from seeing guests, right?"
Granny Yan said indifferently, "Of course not. However, you have to wait for a while. Fourth Lady Qu will finish playing soon, and we can't interrupt her at this time. Even if the ex-Crown Princess has passed away, we should still respect her."
Mrs. He took a deep breath. Once again, she had no choice but to suppress her anger. She didn't walk forward but waited restlessly.
Finally, the music stopped. Mrs. He glared at Granny Yan and walked up.
Granny Yan stepped aside and did not stop her.
"Mrs. He, our lady knows you are here and she invites you in!" Yu Dong walked out with a smile on his face and respectfully gave way to Mrs. He.
Granny Yan did not follow them in but went to the wing room aside.
Mrs. He snorted and followed Yu Dong insid
Qu Qiuyan didn't expect Mrs. He to arrive so quickly. Her face darkened. She wanted to refuse to see Mrs. He with the excuse that she was not feeling well.When she heard the noises outside, Mrs. He had already rushed in with her maids.As soon as she entered the room and saw Qu Qiuyan, Mrs. He sneered. She pointed at Qu Qiuyan and scolded, "Third Lady Qu, you are really vicious!"Qu Qiuyan composed herself, forced a smile, and asked in surprise, "Mrs. He, what are you saying? I don't understand what you mean. Why are you still in our mansion? Didn't you just say that you were going back?"Since Mrs. He was Lord Jing's aunt, Qu Qiuyan did not dare to offend her."Qu Qiuyan, you are still pretending. Fortunately, Lord Jing does not intend to marry you. If he marries you, you will definitely make Lord Jing Mansion a mess!" Mrs. He had a bad temper, and she wanted to slap Qu Qiuyan, but for fear of offending Lord J
"Vice Minister Qu, was this marriage arranged for Fourth Lady Qu?" Pei Yuanjun sneered with a strange and bloodthirsty look in his eyes, which made Qu Zhizhen's heart tremble."Yes... It was indeed for her." Qu Zhizhen tried his best to maintain his dignity as a Vice Minister and steady his breath."How could you still arrange a marriage for Fourth Lady Qu?" Pei Yuanjun sneered, which reminded Qu Zhizhen of the bloody scene he had just seen."Why... Why not?" Qu Zhizhen asked with a forced smile. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Pei Yuanjun's extremely beautiful face.Pei Yuanjun asked lazily, "Mr. Qu, didn't you know that Dowager Consort Qu invited Fourth Lady Qu to her place and sent her a Discipline Granny?""I know."Pei Yuanjun sneered, "Fourth Lady Qu bumped into me in Eastern Palace. After that, Dowager Consort Qu summoned her into the palace and sent her a Discipline Granny. Mr. Qu
Qu Mingcheng was dragged directly to the yard of the study. He was pressed on a flat stool and the guards began to beat him.Gritting his teeth, Qu Mingcheng tried to hold back his scream, but in the end, he failed. When the stick beat him again, he screamed continuously. His face was pale, and his forehead was sweating heavily.Qu Mingcheng had never suffered any hardship since he was a child. He had always been the apple of his family's eye, and he had never been beaten up like this. After being beaten ten times, he was already unable to hold on.Qu Mingcheng stopped screaming. He was gasping for breath, but he could no longer make a sound.Several people suddenly came into the yard, and one of them was the Old Lady. Seeing Qu Mingcheng being beaten, she rushed over and hugged him, her eyes turning red.Qu Qiuyan was already crying. She squatted down and pulled Qu Mingcheng's sleeve. She had just found out tha
As soon as Qu Xuexin entered, she asked, "Moying, I heard that Mingcheng was beaten up. Did something happen?""Eldest Sister, how did you know that?" Qu Moying asked in reply.East Mansion was not very near to West Mansion, but Qu Xuexin came so quickly.Qu Xuexin said gently, "I happened to come here for something. I heard from an old maid here. I wanted to ask Grandmother, but I was afraid that she would be annoyed, so I came to ask you."Her eyes fell on the qin placed in front of the window. She couldn't help but stand up and walk over. She asked in surprise, "Moying, where did you get this qin? It looks special."The qin was placed on the table by the window. It was not put into the qin cover yet. The qin cover was placed aside. Its color was light, but its peony embroidery was exquisite.The phoenix and the peony in the embroidery set off each other.Qu Moying said with a smile,
Qu Moying soon came out in a light lotus color dress with a light green belt. The dress fluttered slightly in the breeze, making her look like a fairy. The eye veil even added a different charm to her.Seeing how beautiful she was, Qu Xuexin felt uncomfortable. A trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes. She slowly lowered her head to regain her calm.She was the most ordinary looking one among the other ladies in the mansion. Now, even a woman with an eye veil looked delicate and beautiful, and she felt really uncomfortable about it.Fortunately, her emotions had always been stable. She soon calmed down and returned to normal.They went to Qu Mingcheng's yard together.Qu Mingcheng had his own yard in West Mansion. Although he lived in East Mansion most of the time, his yard in West Mansion was also clean and tidy, and his study was also in West Mansion.His yard was close to the flower gate but outsi
Xiao Hanyuan felt that Qu Xuexin was the best among the four young ladies of Qu Mansion. Although she was not as beautiful as Qu Qiuyan, her manner was decent and elegant. However, the one his parents chose for him was Qu Moying. Qu Moying's eye disease hadn't recovered yet. Besides, he thought she was too frivolous.She had already known about the marriage proposal between him and her, but she still went on a blind date. Wasn't it because she looked down upon his family and was attracted by He Mansion's wealth? Moreover, He Mansion was related to Lord Jing.Even if such a woman was gorgeous, Xiao Hanyuan did not like her.When he heard from the servants that she went on a blind date, he didn't believe it at first. He specially went to have a look, and he found that the servants were right. Qu Moying did go on a blind date.Now that something had happened to Third Young Master He, his proposed marriage with Qu Moying might s
Qu Xuexin spent another two hours doing embroidery in Qu Moying's place. Only after East Mansion sent someone over to ask her back did she leave.After Qu Xuexin left with all the things she had brought over, Qu Moying put down the embroidery frame in her hand, and she looked at Qu Xuexin through the window."Lady, please rest your eyes!" Yu Chun stepped forward to help her remove the eye veil.Qu Moying leaned back and closed her eyes. Yu Chun gently rubbed the corners of her eyes to help her relax her eyes. Qu Moying had been embroidering for a long time just now. Once she was taking a rest, she did feel uncomfortable in her eyes.After coming in and cleaning up the tea set, Yu Dong served Qu Moying a new cup of tea. "Lady, what are First Lady and Young Master Xiao trying to do?""They asked me to go out on the Qixi Festival!" Qu Moying said indifferently. She did not know what exactly they were going to do, b
Putting down the chess piece in his hand, the emperor asked with a darkened face, "You want to marry Qu Mansion's lady as your Princess Consort?"Li Quan carefully lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor's angry face.Pei Yuanjun stretched out his hand and said indifferently, "Your Majesty, I don't like any other women. How am I supposed to marry them?"Li Quan stole a glance at him, speechless. Only Lord Yun dared to speak to the emperor like this. The others, including the Crown Prince, did not even dare to breathe heavily when the emperor was angry."That won't do. Your Princess Consort must have a noble status." The emperor didn't agree.Pei Yuanjun also put down the chess piece in his hand, gracefully picked up the tea beside him, took a sip, and asked with a calm smile, "But how can I find a woman of noble status that I like? If I can't meet such a woman, I won't have a Princess Consort all my
