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.

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!"
Yan Yu stood at the door with burning anger in his eyes.Li was shocked, but when she saw that it was her son, she became angry. "How could you say that? I am your mother!""I didn't do anything because you are my mother." Yan Yu said angrily. Then, he looked at his slightly trembling sister with disappointment, "I thought you were innocent, but now it seems you are just the same. What did Fourth Lady Qu do wrong? Why did the two of you scheme against her again and again?"Yan Yujiao's face turned red, and tears of grievance were about to fall. "Mother, look at Second Brother!""Yan Yu, you're well-educated. How could you contradict your mother and your sister for a woman?" Li was furious."Mother!" Yan Yu suddenly calmed down with a layer of malice in his eyes. He solemnly cupped his hands towards Li and said, "Mother, I will say it again. There is nothing between Fourth Lady Qu and me. It was just your wild gu
After taking over Third Young Master He's case, West Prison soon investigated the case thoroughly. It turned out that Third Young Master He did have something to do with his ex-wife's death. As for the few young and beautiful maids in He Mansion, they were thrown into the mass grave after their deaths.After the truth was found out, the case was transferred to the Ministry of Justice.With the evidence that West Prison had gathered, the Ministry of Justice quickly decided to exile Third Young Master He to the border.The few maids had sold themselves as slaves to He Mansion. Third Young Master He's ex-wife's family agreed to give in and would not make a further appeal. This matter stirred a storm in the beginning, but it ended in a low-key way.However, this was already the best result. After all, Lord Jing and Noble Consort He were still around. If Third Young Master He was really sentenced to death, Lord Jing and Noble Con
"He Mansion has sent people here to deliver the betrothal gifts?" The Old Lady pressed her hand against the corner of the table and almost fainted.Luo immediately answered without thinking, "Yes, they came to send the betrothal gifts to Xuexin. At that time, the one to whom they wanted to propose marriage was Moying. Why did it become Xuexin now? Mother, go and explain to He Mansion's people that the betrothal gifts should be sent to Moying. They are mistaken!"Third Young Master He was now a disaster. No lady would be willing to marry him. He tortured not only his maids but also his newly married wife to death.The Old Lady's face darkened, and she angrily scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about!""Mother, I am not talking nonsense. This marriage was for Moying back then, wasn't it?" Luo argued. She placed a great hope in her daughter, and she definitely would not be willing to let her daughter marry Third Young Mast
Qu Moying left after chatting with Qu Xuexin for a while.Qu Xuexin's eyes became gloomy immediately after Qu Moying left, and she looked at the door resentfully.Seeing that Qu Xuexin was in a daze, Hong Mei called out in a low voice, "Lady!"Qu Xuexin gritted her teeth and almost tore the handkerchief in her hand. "Don't blame me. You made me do this!"Qu Moying was the one who was supposed to marry Third Young Master He. But when He Mansion came to Qu Mansion and claimed to deliver betrothal gifts to Qu Xuexin, no one spoke up for her, and only her mother shed tears for her.Rage bubbled in Qu Xuexin's mind, "Why should I sacrifice my reputation for Qu Moying?""I've suffered a lot to secure a marriage. After the previous engagement was canceled, I hadn't found a suitable person for a long time, and my marriage was therefore postponed. Mother picked up some candidates for me. Some of them liked m
They joined the crowd and walked ahead slowly in the crowd.The shops on the streets tried all sorts of means to attract customers. There were many lanterns with different riddles hanging at the shops' doors for people to solve. These shops also prepared many low-cost but exquisite gifts, which were exactly the type of gifts ladies liked.Upon seeing so many beautiful lanterns and exquisite small gifts, the ladies couldn't help but stop to take a look. At this time, those young masters who accompanied them would try to solve the riddles and win presents for the ladies to please them.Qu Moying and the others walked from one street to another bigger street. On one side of this street were the shops that had been operating for decades. They were rich and had prepared better things, which attracted more people. On the other side, there was a river by the fence, which was a tributary of the moat and was not narrow.There were bo
