Liu Jingyu was very proud of one thing.
When her mother married into the Liu Family, the dowry she brought with her was almost half of Duke Qi's Mansion's savings. Her maternal grandfather loved her mother the most and gave her whatever she liked. Even her maternal grandmother felt the dowry was way too substantial, but her grandfather was still very generous.
On her mother's wedding day, more than a hundred servants carried her dowry items over to Liu Family. Moreover, some dowry items had been moved into the Liu Family before the wedding.
It was said that when Ji Hanyue married the Crown Prince, Ji Hanyue's dowry was also extravagant, which was quite a sight. But Liu Jingyu believed that if she was going to marry the Crown Prince, her dowry would definitely be much more substantial than that of Ji Hanyue.
She believed that she would have whatever Ji Hanyue had and also what Ji Hanyue didn't have.

The old maid lowered her head in embarrassment. Previously, she didn't pay enough respect to Qu Moying because she thought Qu Moying was just the daughter of a Vice Minister, which was why she impolitely looked at Qu Moying. However, she didn't expect Qu Moying's maid to be so fierce that she dared to glare at her.The old maid pretended not to notice Yu Dong's glare and lowered her head to avoid meeting Yu Dong's eyes. Then, she continued to lead the way with a smile but did not dare to be disrespectful to the young lady in the carriage anymore.The carriage entered Grand Princess Changyu's mansion through the side door and arrived at the parking lot after making a turn. A few carriages had already been parked there, and two ladies were getting off the carriages. After looking at each other, they greeted softly and walked to the inner yard together.They behaved intimately and naturally. Obviously, they were close friends.
There were no outsiders at this time, so Zhao Qingxuan boldly asked, "Your Highness, are you really going to marry County Lady Jingyu?"Pei Luo'an nodded. "It is what Mother Empress wants.""Did you... really go to hang Love Lanterns with her?" Zhao Qingxuan continued to ask. Many aristocratic families knew about this matter, and he naturally had heard his mother talk about it.Pei Luo'an said calmly, "Yes.""But didn't you say... that you were deeply in love with the ex-Crown Princess?" Zhao Qingxuan stuttered, and his face turned red."It was Mother Empress' idea... I have to listen to her." Pei Luo'an's face darkened. He looked at a corner of the window and smiled bitterly."But... but County Lady Jingyu used to be with..." Zhao Qingxuan stopped before finishing his words. He did not dare to say it out bluntly.The marriage between Liu Jingyu and Lord Jing had once been discussed, bu
Qu Moying didn't care about the prying eyes around. She sat calmly, shaking the fan in her hand gently and leisurely.When she was Ji Hanyue, no matter where she went, she was always the center of others' attention. There would be many people looking at her. Therefore, she didn't care about the meaning of others' gaze, and she was very calm and composed.It was the same right now!Only a few ladies stared at her, and she did not feel uncomfortable in the slightest."Fourth Lady Qu, your fan looks good. Can I have a look?" Prefectural Princess Xiangrong suddenly asked with a smile as her gaze fell on the jade fan at Qu Moying's waist.She had noticed this jade fan when Qu Moying entered the door because it was a good one. It was neither too simple nor too flamboyant.Moreover, an old maid behind her reminded her of something about the jade fan. The old maid served Grand Princess Changyu in normal day
"Me and Fourth Lady Qu?" Liu Jingyu seemed to have heard something hilarious. She was stunned at first, but then she chuckled.She was obviously asking. Although she did not point out anything clearly, it could be seen from her reaction that she thought what Chen Hailan said was a joke.A young lady beside Liu Jingyu also chuckled. She was dressed in a pink satin dress, and there were many hanging ornaments on the corner of her clothes, which made her look gorgeous and extraordinary. Although she smiled later than Liu Jingyu, her laughter was quite loud. She raised her head and sneered, "How could County Lady Jingyu make such an agreement with Fourth Lady Qu? This is the funniest joke I have ever heard."After she finished speaking, she looked at Qu Moying and gently covered her mouth with the round silk fan in her hand. "Fourth Lady Qu, I'm sorry. I'm not saying that you don't deserve to be friends with County Lady Jingyu. You won't bla
However, the result was beyond expectation.Zhu Yanrui also thought like every lady else and she was both angry and annoyed, but when she saw the jade fans clearly, her eyes immediately widened, "This..."Prefectural Princess Xiangrong finally asked, "What's wrong?"After looking at the jade fans in disbelief for a few moments, Zhu Yanrui suddenly laughed out loud. She extended Qu Moying's jade fan forward, "Fourth Lady Qu's jade fan is better.""What?" Liu Jingyu raised her head in shock and blurted out subconsciously. If Qu Moying's jade fan was better, Liu Jingyu would be embarrassed. What she said just now was too complacent, so much so that it made her look a little ignorant."Impossible." Fourth Lady He stepped forward and was about to snatch Qu Moying's jade fan over.Zhu Yanrui drew her hand back and did not let her grab it. Instead, she handed Liu Jingyu's jade fan to her. "You can have a l
Fourth Lady He was unwilling to give in. She glared at Qu Moying and wanted to say something more, but Liu Jingyu had already softly ordered a maid to take her to change clothes. Since Liu Jingyu had ordered so, Fourth Lady He could only leave angrily.Liu Jingyu sat down and apologized to Qu Moying softly, "Fourth Lady Qu, Fourth Lady He is not like this normally. I don't know why she gets so angry after seeing you today. ""Is it because of Third Young Master He?" Hearing what she said, someone immediately remembered that there had been something between Qu Mansion and He Mansion before.A lady asked, "Is it really First Lady Qu to whom Third Young Master He made a proposal?"Another lady asked, "Isn't it First Lady Qu?"The questions came one after another and then stopped.Qu Moying looked up at Liu Jingyu calmly. "County Lady, it has already become a past event. My grandmother said that it was
Seeing this situation, Yu Chun could only put Qu Moying's qin set in her hands on an empty chair nearby temporarily.It should not be a difficult task for the three maids to move the chair together. But even though the three of them worked together, there were still problems: they couldn't exert their strength in a proper manner or they moved in three different directions. They did not move it faster than before, and the three of them were so tired that they were sweating.Qu Moying looked at these maids coldly, and the corners of her lips silently curved up. If she still couldn't see anything wrong until now, she was really too careless.There were other maids here in addition to the two maids she brought with her, but both of her maids were now busy helping another maid!She heard the sound from the stairs again and saw a maid coming up with three cups of tea.The maid went to the other two ladies first.
Yu Dong had already been on full alert. What happened just now didn't seem to be a big deal, but it was abnormal to Yu Dong. However, Qu Moying didn't say anything, so he didn't act rashly.Now that Qu Moying had ordered the maid to sweep the platform, Yu Dong definitely would not let the maid get away. He walked up to the maid, grabbed her by the collar, and pushed her to the platform as he said, "Sweep the platform first."Although Yu Dong didn't look strong, he was stronger than an ordinary maid. He exerted strength on his hand, and the maid from Grand Princess Mansion was pushed to the platform by him.Just as Yu Dong loosened his grip, the maid, who had just stepped on the platform, immediately lost her balance and slipped to the railings as she screamed.She slipped forward because of inertia, and the low railings couldn't stop her. She slipped over the railings and fell from the platform with a scream.Sh
