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
