Qu Moying was taken aback when Ji Youran unexpectedly showed up at her doorstep!
However, as she looked at Ji Youran's radiant smile, Qu Moying quickly grasped the situation. This matter involved Liu Jingyu, and for Ji Youran, it presented an opportunity.
So, Ji Youran was here!
Ji Youran was as skillful as ever at capturing people's hearts, and she was essential in such circumstances. How could she be absent?
"Your Highness." Qu Moying approached and bowed, then paid her respects to the old lady seated above.
"Cousin Qu, please take a seat." Ji Youran said gently, smiling warmly as she looked at Qu Moying.
Qu Moying sat down on a nearby chair.
"Princess Ji heard about the incident at our mansion and came specially to check on you and inquire if you were alright!" The old lady spoke vaguely, hoping to defuse the situation at this point.
"Thank you for your concern." Qu Moyi
The Old Lady hesitated, reluctant to let Ji Youran go, but seeing her determination, she knew she couldn't stop her. Besides, Qu Qiuyan's status had changed significantly.With a sigh, she reluctantly nodded.Ji Youran smiled and nodded back at the the Old Lady before following Qu Moying out.During the journey, Ji Youran tried to gather information from Qu Moying with a friendly demeanor. However, whenever she approached the crucial points, Qu Moying skillfully avoided providing any substantial details. By the time they reached the yard, Ji Youran hadn't obtained any useful information from Qu Moying. This made her even more determined to find evidence from Qu Qiuyan.Qu Qiuyan had already received news of Qu Moying accompanying Ji Youran. She had her maids waiting for their arrival and greeted them at the door.Qu Qiuyan's face remained pale, and the burns on her arms had yet to heal completely. They were seve
These few sentences are beautifully expressed, highlighting her reason for visiting the Qu Mansion: her concern for Qu Moying. The Crown Prince had also advised her to pay more attention to Qu Moying.Furthermore, Qu Qiuyan was mentioned, and given her changed identity, it was normal for her to pay a visit.Regarding County Lady Jingyu, Ji Youran had already made it clear to the Crown Prince that this person was not to be underestimated. There was suspicion that County Lady Jingyu had bullied Qu Moying.Now, with this information, it seemed there might be some connection between Liu Jingyu and Qu Moying.Pei Luo'an remained silent but felt an increasing sense of annoyance. He looked at Ji Youran, noticing her similarity to Liu Jingyu—both gentle, considerate, and seemingly willing to sacrifice their own interests for others.But was it really true?His hand fell heavily on the table, and Ji Youran w
Zhang, the shopkeeper, was uneasy, rubbing his hands, but he didn't know where to start. Shouldn't this matter be discussed calmly and reasonably? Why was Lady Qu so harsh? She seemed ready to explode. How could she speak like that?Yue's Gold Pavilion was the party at fault, originally weak, and now by saying that, weren't they pushing the other side towards hostility?Zhang, the shopkeeper, understood merchants well. Though they prioritized profits, in situations like this, they may change their stance when facing real consequences. Besides, Lady Qu's identity cannot intimidate this Master Zhao. Even Earl Ling’an’s Mansion failed to do so; how could our Lady Qu succeed?Shopkeeper Zhang was sweating profusely, glancing at Yu Dong behind Qu Moying, hoping she'd take the initiative to mediate.Unfortunately, Yu Dong just glanced at him and ignored him, lowering her head.What a foolish servant girl, Shopkeeper Zhang cu
After returning home, Qu Moying went to see Old Lady Qu first and recounted today's events, especially the incident at the pastry shop.The shopkeeper in that shop was a confidant of Yu, and the staff members were also close to the shopkeeper. Dealing with them was quite tricky. However, this time sending them away was a win-win situation.Old Lady Qu was unaware of the situation and believed that exchanging a pastry shop for the Yue's Gold Pavilion was undoubtedly a great deal. Though it meant owing money to Madam Duan, she asked Qu Moying to raise more funds and promised to supplement her contribution to repay the debt quickly.Madam Duan was currently a widow, which was a sad sight to witness.The downfall of the once-prosperous Earl Ling'an's Mansion was a stark reminder of life's uncertainties. No one could have anticipated such a fate for the once-thriving Earl Ling'an's Mansion."Yes, grandma, I'll take c
"Fourth Miss, our young lady came to send her slave girl to ask about the cake store that she mentioned to you earlier." Qing Ju smiled after giving Qu Mo Ying a bow."What else is going on?" Qu Mo Ying put down the zither score in his hands and raised his eyes to look at Qing Ju."Our young lady said that the store was madam's own later on, and would like to ask the fourth young lady to send both the land deed and the store's account book, over to our young lady." Qing Ju said, speaking with quite a bit of justification in."The Second Mistress's store? Isn't this the dowry our madam left to our young lady?" Yu Dong raised her eyebrows and looked at Qing Ju with a displeased expression."The store's bottom deed at the earliest time is indeed the fourth miss, but our lady has been operating for so many years, there is no merit but also have hard work, this store is not a valuable store, our lady cares about the lady, she would like to leave this store, this l
Qu Qiuyan left the study in tears.Waiting for the Hibiscus Pavilion, lying on the table and crying again, what does father mean, is looking down on her or looking down on King Jing, by what right do you think she is a concubine.Can side consorts and concubine consorts be considered concubines? The most important thing that cannot be belittled in the royal family is the side consort and concubine consort, many of the main consorts and queens, climbed up from the position of the side consort, the concubine consort, even if it's a little lower, it's still only below the side consort, on what grounds does father look down on her, and on what grounds does he say that she covets the things of the Qu Mo Ying.Is that Qu Mo Ying's? It's clearly my mother's new earnings from the previous store, so why is Qu Mo Ying hogging it and not giving it back?That is the mother's things, is left to their own dowry, if it is not the mother to help Qu Mo Ying look after these s
"It's not something that can be rushed right now, father has it in his mind anyway, but it's going to be at least a while before father may have to check it out."Qu Mingcheng soothed her.Qu Qiuyan although not very willing, but also can only be first, this time she is not dare to go to the father, originally thought it was just a sentence of things, but did not think that the mother's things involved in their own, on this point, Qu Qiuyan the more I think the more aggrieved.They are still small, sometimes see through, but the mother must be more than their own experience, did not remind themselves to pay attention to the Jingyu County gentleman not to mention, but also actually drag their feet, if not the mother of this action, today a store thing, really is not a thing.Qu Qiuyan here the more you think the more angry, but also the more you think the more aggrieved, lying on the table and crying for a while.After Qu Mingcheng came out of the Hibisc
"Second Prince went to the pastry store?" Qu Mo Ying's hand stroked lightly on the strings of the zither, and the sound of the zither came to a halt, only a slight tremor emanating from the slender fingertips."Yes, Zhao Gongzi's side sent someone over and asked if we let the Second Gongzi go over, the slave girl said she didn't know about it, Zhao Gongzi's person said that when the Second Gongzi went over he said he was looking for the shopkeeper again and again and looking for some old person, looking at this he seemed to be quite attached, and he also repeatedly inquired about where the shopkeeper had gone!"Sister Miao said.She happened to come back from outside and met this door-to-door boy when she was at the door, and when she heard that he was looking for her own young lady, Sister Miao purposely called the man over to one side and carefully inquired about him.This matter let Qu Mo Ying quite surprised, Qu Qiu Yan fancy their own store, still say th
"Miss Liu, the king said that there is no female master in the residence, so he is not in a position to receive you, and asked if there is anything important you need?" A guard descended from the steps and walked to Liu Lanxin's carriage, giving a respectful salute inside.Liu Lanxin's carriage was again blocked in front of the Ying Wang Mansion."It's an important matter, a message from father's side." Liu Lanxin reached out and pressed the cuff of his sleeve, there was indeed a letter there, a letter to the King of England.The guards didn't dare to delay the border matter and said to Liu Lanxin, "Miss Liu wait a moment."After saying that, he turned around and went inside to report.This time it took a little longer to get in, long enough for the originally chesty Liu Lanxin to feel like things weren't a little unexpected again.Finally, the guards reappeared and smiled at Liu Lanxin, "Miss Liu, our king invites you in.""Good!" A big sto
Zhu Yan'er did not expect Yu Dong actually remembered her, and also demolished her identity, but in her reaction is also fast, slightly flustered after, immediately asked with a smile; "Which house are you from?""Slave servant is from the Qu Mansion, Miss Zhu, please." Yu Dong moved to the side and reached out to lead the way to the private room.Zhu Yan'er this is also difficult to ride the tiger, had to make a look with a few points of bewilderment to the private room, as if she really did not mean it, originally just want to make some trouble out of it, and now also put themselves into it.Yu Dong, the maid, was still recognized by the people around her just now.Her features carried a bit of the innate cluelessness of a young girl, easily inviting, and while some were skeptical, there was a part of her that was immediately convinced that she was truly innocent.It's just the maids under her that are petulant.A maid is not good, even the mast
That rather strange Mr. Zhao was actually amongst the crowd, standing with his hands behind his back under a store on one side, watching the slowly moving carriages on the street.Looking at his upright posture, it is hard to believe that he actually also came to see the fun, should be coincidentally encountered, and he has been blocked up like himself."Mr. Zhao?" Yu Dong saw her stop moving and her gaze looked over.Qu Mo Ying nodded and turned to leave after a couple more looks.Down the stairs, got into the carriage, followed the traffic slowly forward, the curtain of the window of the car outside a layer had been picked up before, the inner layer is made of yarn, from the inside can see the outside, but the outside can not see clearly inside.It wasn't annoying to pass by while looking at the passersby on both sides of the road.See that Zhao Gongzi again, a flash, in fact, did not see clearly, this Zhao Gongzi seems to be talking to a person
"Is it Fourth Miss Qu?" Outside was a maid, looking a little familiar, Yu Dong thought a little and immediately recognized it."It's our young lady." With a slight smile, she stepped forward and replied, giving a bow to the woman standing behind her, Miss Liu Lanxin, the daughter of the Auxiliary General, still wearing the appearance of a thin veil over her eyes."Our lady is from the Auxiliary General's residence, and we have met your lady before." The maiden laughed."Slave girl will go report to our young lady." Yu Dong turned around and went in, and when she came out again she invited Miss Liu in."Miss Liu!" Qu Mo Ying stood up and saluted.Liu Lanxin also smiled and gave a salute, and the two of them politely took their seats."Fang looked like Fourth Miss Qu, so I came over to meet her." Liu Lanxin smiles, "Since the last time I saw Fourth Miss Qu, I didn't expect to see her after such a long time."The last time the two met was in th
The carriage slowly moved forward, Qu Mo Ying sat in the carriage, there has been a period of time did not go to the auxiliary to visit, this time to take advantage of the matter of clothes to go by the way to go to the Yueyi Pavilion to take a look.Qi Gongfu today and sent people over, said some details of the matter, the dowager lady thought to also pay attention to some details, never let people from the top of the clothes than the Qi Gongfu.The more clothes cabinet is doing this kind of business, Qu Mo Ying got the meaning of the dowager lady to the more clothes cabinet to pick some of their own, but also with the shopkeeper Yang aunt to discuss how to better, this aspect of Yang aunt can be regarded as a competent hand, the most will help people accessorize the clothes, some small details, it is possible to affect the overall feeling."Why is it still stuck in traffic?" The carriage had been stuck in the traffic jam for some time, Qu Mo Ying gently lifted th
Sister Miao was from the northern border and had come to the capital before to find someone to join her.In fact, it's not really a family member, just looking for the original village old folks, the village because of a disaster, almost no one escaped again.This part of the past, what Qu Mo Ying knew was not clear, this was Sister Miao's hidden pain, since Sister Miao was not willing to talk about it in detail, she would not force her.In the next period of time, the Duke of Qi's residence sent people over from time to time to deal with some small problems in the details, fearing that there would be the slightest mistake.Attitude prudent so that Mrs. Qu feel that the Duke of Qi is not too much attention, originally just change one of the three, is not the most important set of clothes at the time of the big make-up.Qi Gongfu so practice let her a lot of pressure, as if Qi Gongfu do more than she this pro-grandmother, but also on the heart, is to sho
"Miss, this is the jewelry sent by the Duke of Qi's residence, saying that it's for use with the clothes." Yu Dong walked in with a gift box in her hand.The gift box was put down, and after Sister Yan walked over and opened it, she took a look at it and nodded, "Miss, this is an excellent set of jewelry, it's very suitable for a maturity dress, and I'm afraid the value of this isn't small.""After dispensing, send it back." Qu Mo Ying's eyes were pale as he said."Sending it back, miss, I'm afraid this is not in keeping with etiquette!" Sister Yan shook her head, a big family, since it was sent, where was the reason to return it."The Duke of Qi gave me such a big gift, where can I accept it raw, I have to return the gift, choose one of similar value and return the gift!"Qu Mo Ying thought for a moment and said, she was not willing to owe the Duke of Qi at all, as long as she thought of her mother's death, she felt that the jewelry in front of her wei
"Mother, what is the matter you called me over for?" As Liu Jingyu entered, she playfully bowed to Mrs. Liu."Sit here mother." Mrs. Willow beckoned to her.Seeing her mother's rare closeness, Liu Jingyu was in quite a good mood as she took two steps forward and sat down next to Mrs. Liu.Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Jingyu to say something."Mother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Mrs. Liu in this form, Liu Jingyu's face sank and she asked eagerly."There is nothing much, just heard the news that came from the Duke of Qi's house before, and felt ..." Mrs. Liu sighed a long breath, and the words came here, and for a while she actually couldn't go on."What did Grandmother do again? Something to do with Qu Mo Ying?" Liu Jingyu asked almost intuitively.The feeling as if she was a natural enemy immediately lifted her spirits.Mrs. Liu nodded gently, "Your maternal grandmother recently did not know what was wrong, but actually so close to this y
"What does Mrs. Qi mean?" Mrs. Qu looked at the matron of the Duke of Qi's house in front of her and said in surprise."Qu second lady's matter, we all feel guilty all over the house, the old Duke of State almost wanted to move to Jiangnan, directly to Qu second lady's father to ask for forgiveness, but the Duke of State did not agree, the old Duke of State must be older after all, I heard that the Qu fourth young lady is going to have her maturity rite, our dowager lady's intention, want to make a set of clothes for the Qu fourth young lady."The granny sent by the Duke of Qi's residence was very good at talking, sighing, feeling, and finally longing.The people of the King's House came and left with great fanfare, a little inquiring to know the meaning of the King's House, actually want to make a set of dresses for this Qu fourth young lady at the time of the maturity of the big makeup."His Highness the King of England has already sent someone." Mrs. Qu wa
