Hearing that Qu Moying had come, Madam Duan immediately sent an old maid by her side out to welcome Qu Moying. She had established herself in Earl Ling'an's Mansion. Although she was not as powerful as the second branch's Xiao, she was no longer a mere concubine who was at the mercy of others. After all, her position had changed.
She was now the legitimate wife of the first branch, and the first branch had a legitimate heir, Ji Yuanhai. Moreover, the first branch had properties and businesses such as the dowry shops that once belonged to the ex-Crown Princess. In the past few days, they had been receiving the ex-Crown Princess' dowry shops from Crown Prince's Mansion. If all the ex-Crown Princess' belongings were returned, the first branch would definitely become wealthier than the second branch.
Originally, Earl Ling'an's Mansion's second branch was far inferior to the first branch, and it was actually dependent on the first branch. However, the fir
Xie Feng looked up in shock. After she entered Eastern Palace, she behaved cautiously for a short period after the ex-Crown Princess died because she was afraid that Princess Ji would deal with her. But later, she found that Princess Ji treated her well, and she soon became cocky. Now that she had become the Crown Prince's bedroom maid, her complacency could be clearly seen in her eyes.Even in Eastern Palace, nobody dared to treat her like this, let alone the people in the Ji Family.She came here to send over some account books for Princess Ji, and she didn't expect that she would suffer such humiliation. When she looked up at Qu Moying, she found Qu Moying's aura imposing, which faintly resembled the image of the ex-Crown Princess in her memory. For a moment, she panicked, and her legs went soft.She was one of the few who knew how the ex-Crown Princess died."Is the ex-Crown Princess here to take revenge?" Thinking of th
Madam Duan uttered those words after a short hesitation.Qu Moying suddenly sat up straight and asked anxiously, "What did you find?""Third Lady seemed to have left on her own initiative with her maid on the night that the ex-Crown Princess entered Eastern Palace, and several servants saw it. They said in vivid detail, and it sounded to be true." Madam Duan frowned. She did not believe that Third Lady Ji would elope with someone.Third Lady Ji was still a child!She rarely went out. Every time she went out, she would follow Second Lady Ji. She depended on Second Lady Ji very much. How could she elope with someone?Qu Moying asked thoughtfully, "Madam, are you sure?""I am basically sure. Some of Madam's maids and old maids also witnessed it. Some of them said that they tried to stop Third Lady but failed. Third Lady said that she had something to do, and then she left the mansion from the back door
There were two maids in the carriage, and they helped a young lady out together. Qu Moying looked over at the young lady and found that she knew her. It was Yan Yujiao from Earl Fengyang's Mansion.Yan Yujiao was injured more seriously than Qu Moying. Blood flowed out of her forehead. One maid reached out to cover her forehead, and the other maid asked anxiously, "Where is the clinic?"The lad servant said, "Come with me."They hurriedly followed the lad servant and did not even bother to look at Qu Moying.The handsome young master stepped forward, bowed to Qu Moying, and said softly, "Lady, you should also go to the clinic to have a check!"At this point, Qu Moying should indeed go. It was not a bad idea to go to the clinic for a check. After all, before this matter was properly handled, she could not leave.She nodded and walked forward with the support of Yu Dong.She looked quite w
Yan Yujiao gritted her teeth and looked at Qu Moying's back. She was exasperated, but she didn't chase after Qu Moying."Lady, Lady!" Seeing that Yan Yujiao had been silent, a maid called out anxiously. She was worried that Yan Yujiao might really be seriously injured in the collision just now."Let's go back." Yan Yujiao suddenly moved and walked out.One of the maids went to pay the medical fee, while the other ran after Yan Yujiao and asked, "Lady, where are we going?"Yan Yujiao said coldly, "Go back and find County Lady Jingyu."The maid was stunned for a moment, but she did not dare to say anything and could only follow Yan Yujiao.Yan Yujiao and Liu Jingyu came out for a walk early today. After walking for a while, they felt tired, so they went to a bookshop. They read books and admired paintings in the private room on the second floor of the bookshop and felt quite at ease.When
Qu Moying shook her hand indifferently and said, "I'm fine. Miss Yan is also injured. Eldest Sister, let's go back first!"She reached out to press her forehead. It could be seen from her pale face that she didn't feel well.Qu Xuexin nodded, stood up, and said with concern, "Moying, let's go back first and find a doctor for you in the mansion."Her eyes were gentle, and her face was filled with concern. She appeared to be a caring sister.However, Qu Moying could see through her hypocritical concern. Qu Xuexin didn't really care about her. When she slightly lowered her head just now, she saw a trace of complacency on Qu Xuexin's face.Qu Xuexin was like Ji Youran. Qu Moying trusted Ji Youran very much in her previous life. Although Ji Youran was a little suspicious sometimes, Qu Moying would rationalize her behaviors. However, Ji Youran repaid her with nothing but the utmost malice in the end.Qu M
When the carriage stopped at Vice Minister Qu's Mansion, Qu Moying was hit on the head slightly. She raised her head in confusion and met Pei Yuanjun's narrowed eyes. Seeing his beautiful face, she felt a little giddy and didn't know where she was.She looked around and remembered that she got into Pei Yuanjun's carriage before and then fell asleep in the carriage.The back of her head had been harshly painful, but now the tingling disappeared and she felt much better."What? You don't want to leave?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows and leaned against the cushion behind him. He narrowed his eyes. His nose was filled with Qu Moying's light yet pleasing body fragrance."Are we there?" Qu Moying's face inexplicably turned red, and she quickly straightened up. Her long hair immediately scattered down on her shoulders.If she got out of the carriage like this, others would gossip about her."Yes, we are!
Xie Feng sobbed so hard that she almost collapsed to the ground. She looked really sad!Pei Luo'an frowned and looked at Xie Feng with a darkened face. After a while, he asked, "Why did she pull out your hairpins?""I don't know either. Maybe she is unhappy about me serving you, Your Highness." Xie Feng continued crying."How rude she is!" A trace of anger appeared on Pei Luo'an's face. He was angry that a mere Vice Minister's daughter dared to offend him like this."I have explained that I am now yours, and I did not serve two masters. But Fourth Lady Qu didn't listen to me and even let her maid slap me twice. All the servants in the Ji Family were watching at that time. I felt like I had disgraced you, and I wanted to kill myself by hitting the pillar. But I thought I had to come back to report to you, so I didn't kill myself on the spot."She cried as she continued, "Your Highness, now that I have reported to
"Granny Yan, what do you mean?" Qu Moying lowered her head to look at Granny Yan. She was not surprised at all, and her eyes were cold. She was so calm that she didn't look like a lady less than fifteen years old.Even a palace concubine would panic if she was greeted by Granny Yan in such a grand and serious manner, who used to be the Empress Dowager's palace maid.Granny Yan raised her head and said, "Fourth Lady, I'm willing to pledge my loyalty to you."Her tone was very decisive. She had thought about it for a long time and hesitated for a long time. Now that she was saying it, she no longer hesitated.It was Dowager Consort Qu's as well as her own idea to stay in Qu Mansion.Qu Moying narrowed her eyes and tapped the qin music score on the table with her fingers. She asked, "Granny Yan, do you know what your words mean?"Granny Yan looked up at Qu Moying and said word by word, "I know!"
