The Old Lady still felt unwell today. After giving her granddaughters a short speech, she lost her energy and waved her hand to let them leave. She only made one requirement to them - the four of them had to go out together, or no one could leave the yard.
If what happened yesterday became well-spread rumors, it would not only be about Qu Caiyue. People would also say the ladies from the Qu Family didn't get along with each other. It really irritated the Old Lady. Now that they all wanted to free Qu Caiyue from her punishment, they had to make efforts to prove their good relationship.
The four ladies understood the Old Lady's intention, and all agreed. After they left the Old Lady's yard, Qu Caiyue stopped walking, her face was still pale.
"First Sister, Qiuyan, thank you for defending for me," she said sullenly.
Qu Xuexin comforted her in a soft voice, "That's what sisters should do for each other."
"Don't mention it.
A two-story pavilion was built in the peach forest, higher than all the other ones. It was decorated with light pink veils, purfled with golden threads, looking elegant in the sea of pink flowers. Moreover, the stunning people sitting inside looked even more beautiful than the view around them.A man sat in a big chair, wearing a light purple brocade robe. His face was covered by the veil and couldn't be seen clearly. However, when the veil was blown up by the breeze, his god-like face was revealed, looking even more enchanting surrounded by the flowers.The other man sitting in the pavilion was Lord Jing. Lord Jing was considered a handsome young man among all the pretty royal members. Still, his appearance was not even comparable to the man beside him.Qu Qiuyan stopped suddenly and pulled a long face, "Who... who is that woman?"Qu Qiuyan had never seen such a beautiful person before, so she believed a stunning person like that
Right now, Qu Qiuyan could only see those gruesome eyes and feel the overwhelming pressure from this man."The Third Lady of the Qu Family is such a unique person," Pei Yuanjun chuckled and said slowly.Pei Yusheng's face turned red in embarrassment as he glared at Qu Qiuyan's flustered face, showing a trace of rage in his eyes. Qu Qiuyan had always been well-mannered and confident, but he couldn't believe with only one glance at his uncle Lord Yun, she directly bent her whole body on the ground. Compared to the other two who were just kneeling, Qu Qiuyan totally made him lose his face and embarrassed him.Could a girl like her be qualified for the position of his second wife or even concubine?Pei Yusheng felt more annoyed toward Qu Qiuyan."Enjoy your time here. I have to go first." Pei Yuanjun stood up, knocked the stone table with his finger, and looked at the three ladies kneeling on the ground. "I don't have pati
Her words reminded Qu Qiuyan. She remembered one of her close friends once told her that Noble Consort He was fond of Liu Jingyu.Her friend mentioned it when she was insulted by Liu Jingyu in that argument.Was it true?Qu Qiuyan started to feel panic as she ground her teeth and cursed inwardly. Lord Jing could only belong to her. Even though Liu Jingyu had a better family background than her, she was still prettier. She was not any worse than Liu Jingyu.Even that blind girl Qu Moying's cousin could become the Crown Princess. Why could she not become Madam Jing?She still wanted to say something, but suddenly, she saw someone waving at her from a distance - it was Second Young Master Yan. The look on Qu Qiuyan's face became hesitant.Her mother told her not to communicate with Second Young Master Yan, but he took the initiative to talk to her this time. So, it shouldn't count as she disobeyed her mother.
"What did my mother say?" Qu Qiuyan asked the old maid sent by Yu with a sullen face after returning to her yard."My lady, the Second Madam asked you not to interfere anymore. Lady Yu has arrived at the Dabei Temple today." The old maid talking was a servant that Yu trusted the most."Yu Qingmeng is here too? What is she doing here?" Qu Qiuyan asked in annoyance.Before, Qu Qiuyan still treated Yu Qingmeng nicely. For her, Yu Qingmeng was more like a sister compared to Qu Moying. However, everything had changed. Yu Qingmeng became a shameful concubine who was carried into the Marquis Yongning's Mansion by a sedan. Keeping a good relationship with her would only embarrass Qu Qiuyan."The Second Madam thinks it's good timing, so she asked Lady Yu to come here. If anything happens later, Lady Yu can be the spokesperson. Madam doesn't want you to be involved at all," the old maid told Qu Qiuyan what Yu said.Her words cal
The hairpin looked so familiar, familiar to the point that the pink petals almost seemed to have a color of blood in Qu Moying's eyes.A cold shiver was sent down her spine. The only warm thing left in her body was her pounding heart as her limbs felt so numb. A strong feeling of hate hit her. Memories of the past seeped from her veins, soaked in blood.The pretty hairpin... Once, it was a cherished gift for her that carried someone's love. Now the cruel truth was revealed in front of her - it was just a gift that couldn't be more common.It reminded her of herself in the past life, cherished by someone and then thrown away like filthy garbage when she lost her value."Hanyue, I found a talented female handcrafter and asked her to help me make this hairpin. The petals were cut by myself. It's not the best one, but I hope you like it. If there are more chances, I want to design more accessories for you. Then in the future, al
"Fourth Lady Qu, are you happy now?" Yu Qingmeng's first sentence was still peaceful, but the following words she said carried all her anger and hatred as if she was the deceived one."Concubine Yu, why do you say that?" Qu Moying stared at Yu Qingmeng with an indifferent look on her face."If you want to cancel your engagement, just break it off. Why did you have to dirt my name, frame Young Master Xu to make him marry that shrew? You malicious woman!" Yu Qingmeng's eyes were bulging in rage. She wished she could run up to Qu Moying and shatter her into pieces.She should be Young Master Xu's wife, but now she had to be a concubine, bullied by that aggressive woman - it was all thanks to Qu Moying. Yu had told Yu Qingmeng everything. If Qu Moying didn't mess up their plan, Yu Qingmeng's situation wouldn't be as bad as right now.Thinking about this, Yu Qingmeng clenched her teeth as her eyes turned red.If she
"There's nothing between them!" Xu Lipeng interrupted her immediately.Yan Yu had told him about it already."But if there's really something between them, will Second Young Master Yan marry Fourth Lady Qu?" asked Yu Qingmeng, her voice curious."No!" Xu Lipeng answered affirmatively."Why? If Second Young Master Yan really likes Fourth Lady Qu and wants to marry her, Earl Fengyang won't necessarily disagree. After all, Second Young Master Yan is not his first son, so he shouldn't have a high expectation for him." Yu Qingmeng looked confused, but she talked about the possibility of Yan Yu marrying Qu Moying again.After she mentioned it a few times, it even started to sound real.Xu Lipeng really began to think about the thing that sounded impossible for him before.Qu Moying and Yan Yu? Letting Yan Yu marry Qu Moying? Yan Yu was just a playboy. Even if he married Qu Moying, he would tr
There was a nunnery inside a temple, which should be an impossible thing in the world. However, it was true.In her past life, Qu Moying only saw two old nuns in the nunnery on the mountain top, who seemed to have stayed there for a very long time.Pei Luo'an's explanation was the emperor asked the Dabei Temple to help run this nunnery. But the so-called help was just providing them some daily necessities, such as firewood and food-related supplies. Every first day of a month, the temple would send someone to put the supplies on the road that led to the top of the mountain, and the nuns would walk down and pick them up by themselves. All the other things about the nunnery had nothing to do with the Dabei Temple.Because it was a direct order from the emperor, and the only path was locked. Even the temple staff couldn't step into this area.Qu Moying felt weird after hearing about it from the Crown Prince, but she was not too
"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
