"You don't dare to accept it? What if I insist on giving it to you?" She looked so weak, yet she still acted as if she wanted nothing in return. Pei Qingmin thought she was extremely hypocritical, and his words became harsh, carrying some anger that even he himself didn't realize.
His lad servant took a step back, noticing that Pei Qingmin was in a bad mood.
He didn't know what had angered Pei Qingmin to such an extent that he became so angry for no reason. Pei Qingmin had always been calm and collected. After all, he was not in good health, so he should control his emotions and not be too angry or sad.
Pei Qingmin used to control himself well, but he was obviously out of control today.
Qu Moying said impatiently, "Your Highness, I don't know what you mean. I'm tired and want to leave first."
She just wanted to go back and lie down. She was very uncomfortable and her back began to sweat. She lost all her spirit
"If I hadn't returned, would you have fainted in front of Lord Wei? Well, I wonder if that sickly Lord Wei would have fainted along with you."Pei Yuanjun said coldly, with his cold gaze landing on Qu Moying's face. He gave off a suffocating feeling as if he was from hell."What does this have to do with Lord Wei? It seems that I haven't recovered from the collision yet. I thought I had recovered." Qu Moying swallowed and felt a little nauseous. She subconsciously reached out to cover her chest.She could sense that Pei Yuanjun was angry, but she was not in the mood to say anything else. She only felt more uncomfortable. She felt uncomfortable in not only her chest but also her wrist. She shook the hand that was held by him trying to break free but to no avail."Stay in your mansion for the next few days. If you have anything to do, get someone to do it. There are some after-effects." Pei Yuanjun's expression eased a little
"Was it the thing that she fell into the water?" After thinking for a moment, Yu Dong asked. He guessed that the matter that Qu Xuexin tried to hurt Qu Moying had been exposed. He didn't expect Qu Xuexin to be so stupid to expose this thing."First Lady fell into the water? When?" Yu Chun asked in surprise, her eyes wide open."If that's not the case, what is it?" Yu Dong was also stunned. He looked at Yu Chun and asked hesitantly. It seemed that something else had happened after Qu Xuexin separated from them.Qu Xuexin really was a troublemaker. She actually caused trouble again in such a short time. Yu Dong couldn't help but get interested. He pulled Yu Chun to the side, wanting to listen to the whole story.Yu Dong did not have a good impression of Qu Xuexin because she plotted against Qu Moying. Hearing that something bad had happened to Qu Xuexin, he cheered in his heart.Yu Chun said, "I don't know the exa
Ji Hanyue's memorial tablet was placed in a yard that was not close to the main yard of Crown Prince's Mansion.It was the Empress' idea and also Pei Luo'an's idea. There would be a new Crown Princess in Eastern Palace in the future, and the past Crown Princess' memorial tablet might make the future Crown Princess uncomfortable if it was placed too close to the main yard.Ji Youran was currently in charge of Eastern Palace. She was actually not willing to set up such a place to pay respects to Ji Hanyue even if the place was small and remote.However, she had to do as Pei Luo'an requested. He wanted to gain a good reputation by making use of Ji Hanyue. If he appeared to be affectionate to Ji Hanyue, the officials would trust him more. Therefore, a small mourning hall was set up.Although the mourning hall was small, it was quite exquisite. Two Taoist nuns with good reputations were invited from Qingyun Temple to take care of
Sure enough, a piece of bad news was sent over."Fourth Lady, Her Ladyship invites you over." Granny Wu came in a hurry with the news and the Old Lady's words.Qu Moying was not surprised. She nodded and followed Granny Wu.She knew what happened yesterday would definitely involve her. The matter of falling into the water ought to be taken as the prelude to this matter. If Ji Youran wanted to dig into it, Qu Xuexin could not hide the matter that she had tried to hide.In the Old Lady's room, Qu Xuexin was crying so much that she could barely speak.Not only Qu Xuexin but Xiao Hanyuan was also there. His eyes fell on Qu Xuexin with pity.Qu Moying was speechless at Xiao Hanyuan, who could not tell right from wrong. He judged her just based on Qu Xuexin's one-sided words. He hated her, and she could tell.She herself had a lot of things to do, and all of them were vital. She would not car
"Grandaunt..." Xiao Hanyuan was stunned and wanted to say something but was interrupted by the Old Lady. "Go back and read your books. The matter in the backyard has nothing to do with you. I asked you just now to make things clearer. Studying is important. Don't delay your study because of such a trifle!"The Old Lady then looked at Granny Wu.Granny Wu understood and walked to Xiao Hanyuan with a smile. "Young Master Xiao, I'll send you out."At this point, Xiao Hanyuan couldn't stay any longer. He could only bow to the Old Lady. Then, he glared at Qu Moying and turned to leave.Seeing Xiao Hanyuan leave, Qu Xuexin cried again, trembling all over.Xiao Hanyuan saw this scene, and he pitied her even more, but he had to leave. He could only walk out of the yard. However, he was still worried, so he did not go back to the outer yard. Instead, he lingered outside the Old Lady's yard."Moying, what do
Seeing Qu Xuexin come out of the yard, Xiao Hanyuan called out at the door with a face full of concern, "Eldest Cousin Sister.""Cousin Xiao, I'm leaving now." Qu Xuexin was not in the mood to speak to Xiao Hanyuan. She bowed slightly, turned around, and left. She did not even bother to waste any time with him.Originally, Xiao Hanyuan was useful to her, but now he was of no use at all. She had to think of a way by herself. The best way at present was to ask County Lady Jingyu for help.She thought the conflict with Crown Prince's Mansion could be solved with Lord Jing's intervention. However, there was another trouble. If County Lady Jingyu could intercede with the Crown Prince for her, dealing with a Side Princess would not be a problem.Seeing Qu Xuexin leave without looking back and recalling the hint of disgust in her eyes just now, Xiao Hanyuan was really stunned. He almost couldn't believe what he had just seen.
"It's very beautiful!" Pei Luo'an's gaze once again fell on the sachet on her clothes and said gently, but then he turned around and strode away.Only after he left did Qu Xuexin feel like she had come back to life. She stiffly looked up at the Crown Prince, who was surrounded by a large group of attendants.Then, she lowered her head and looked at the sachet hanging on her clothes. When she saw it clearly, she was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Qu Moying. It was the sachet that she made at Qu Moying's place.Qu Moying drew the pattern for her, and the pattern was Love of Butterfly. Its color was pink. It was delicate and beautiful.In fact, she had planned to steal the light color sachet that Qu Moying had embroidered by herself because having that sachet would be more convincing if her plan worked. However, she didn't get a chance to steal it, and her plan failed. She almost forgot her
Did Ji Youran mean that she was willing to reconcile?Qu Xuexin's back was covered in a cold sweat, and she almost collapsed.Qu Qiuyan breathed a sigh of relief. It was best that the matter was solved like this.However, Qu Moying smiled and looked away coldly. Qu Xuexin had said what Ji Youran wanted to hear. Otherwise, how could she bring this up to Pei Luo'an?Ji Youran would not dare to say that she had followed Pei Luo'an there."Thank you, Princess Ji." Qu Xuexin was on the verge of collapse, and her legs went soft."Since we've already talked it out, let's forget about this matter. But First Lady Qu, don't be so curious in the future. Otherwise, it's easy for you to get into trouble." Ji Youran said calmly and looked at Qu Xuexin with a mocking gaze.Qu Xuexin's status could never compare with hers. It was especially the case now."Yes... yes!" Qu Xuexin blushed wit
