There was a strong smell of blood in his nose. Pei Yusheng took two steps back and looked at Pei Yuanjun’s back with a frown as the latter left. His face darkened.

It was not that there were no sisters marrying an uncle and nephew among the citizens, but in the royal family, there was a rule that it would be fine if the sisters were cousins or relatives, but it would not be fine if they were biological sisters, and they had to think about it carefully. It was naturally fine for the sister who was first arranged to marry, but the latter one had to be carefully verified.

Pei Yusheng did not intend to let Qu Qiuyan become his Princess Consort, but he intended to let her be his Side Princess. After all, he was satisfied with Qu Qiuyan at the moment. No matter which lady he liked in the future, he felt that it was very appropriate for Qu Qiuyan to be his Side Princess. The two of them had been in contact privately for a period of time, and Qu Qiuyan was also a gentle lady.

If not for the fact that Qu Zhizhen’s position was too low and he didn’t have much power, he would have definitely intended to marry Qu Qiuyan as his Princess Consort.

Since it was a Side Princess position, he had to let the royal family verify it. Father had long known that Pei Yuanjun had taken fancy to Qu Zhizhen’s youngest daughter, and it could be considered that it had already been arranged early. On the contrary, although the matter between him and Qu Qiuyan happened first, it was well concealed, so Father knew about it later.

It seemed that he had to think about it carefully. Was it a bit too much to give Qu Qiuyan the position of Side Princess? Pei Yusheng didn’t want the Emperor to interfere in his personal matters at all.

Even if it were just an ordinary verification, it was best not to catch others’ attention. This was what Mother repeatedly warned him.

“My Lord, do you want to go take a look first?” Seeing him standing there with a cold face, the guard reminded him in a low voice.

Lord Jing stayed behind to deal with the aftermath. At this time, he naturally could not leave.

Pei Yusheng frowned. He actually wanted to go back long ago, but this matter was ordered by Father that Pei Yuanjun was the one to take charge and he was the one to assist. Now that Pei Yuanjun had left, it was inconvenient for him to leave.

“Find a clean room for me to sit for a while, and have someone clean up the mess,” Pei Yusheng said.

In fact, he had wanted to leave a long time ago. In such a place, he always felt that some eerie things could appear anywhere. If not for to please Father at that time, he would not have taken this job.

Every time he came to this place, he would feel uncomfortable for at least several days.

“Yes, Your Highness, please come with me.” The guard nodded and led him to the place where Lord Yun rested. Lord Yun was different from Lord Jing. When Lord Yun was in the capital, he would come and visit this place from time to time. Lord Jing, however, was rarely seen. Even if he came, he would only ask things casually and not even take a seat.

“Uncle Yun rests here every time he comes?” Pei Yusheng stood at the door and did not go in.

“Yes, this is Lord Yun’s office.” The guard nodded.

“Get another place.” Pei Yusheng turned around decisively.

“Those rooms are a bit smaller than this one, and the decorations are also ordinary.” The guard hesitated for a moment and said.

“Any one will do!” Pei Yusheng said. Entering this kind of place would make him feel a lot of pressure. And this was Pei Yuanjun’s office. Pei Yusheng did not dare to think whether there was anything that would make him apprehensive around here.

It was already late at night. It seemed that he would not be going back early today. He had to find a place to rest, but the thought of lying on the bed where Pei Yuanjun usually rested was out of question for him. Pei Yusheng felt that he did not want to do this at all.

In the next few days, it was very peaceful in Qu Mansion, but this peacefulness seemed heavy. When Qu Moying went to pay her respects to the Old Lady, the Old Lady would have a gloomy face. Even though she was smiling, she was smiling very reluctantly. Qu Moying would then tactfully leave early. Currently, the matter was no longer up to Qu Mansion to decide.

In fact, there was not much that Qu Mansion could do.

At most, they could only wait.

What Qu Moying did not expect was that Granny Yan still stayed in Qu Mansion. She did not go back to the palace when Qu Moying entered the palace. She said that it was Dowager Consort Qu’s idea to let her stay by Qu Moying’s side. If there was anything wrong, she could also guide her.

To have such a high-ranking upbringing granny stayed by her side, Qu Moying knew that she was not the real reason. After returning to the mansion, she specially went to visit Granny Yan.

Unexpectedly, Granny Yan’s attitude was much better than before. She also did not mention Qu Caiyue’s matter. It was as if she did not intervene in this matter at all. She looked as if she had nothing to do with it at all.

Since she did not mention it, Qu Moying did not ask about it. She could not ask anything in a roundabout way, so she just asked people to take care of Granny Yan. It was just like feeding an extra mouth in her yard. As for the rest, Granny Yan was sensible. Even when she had nothing to do, she would definitely not try to be close to Qu Moying.

Although her attitude was still very arrogant, at least she could still talk to Qu Moying occasionally and give her some good suggestions. Qu Moying could not find a reason to make her leave, and that was why Granny Yan just stayed there.

Granny Yan did not mention anything, but Qu Qiuyan seemed to be very impatient. She had come to Qianyue House several times, clearly hinting that she wanted to see Granny Yan. Qu Moying did not stop her and asked someone to invite Granny Yan over directly. However, Granny Yan ignored Qu Qiuyan. Every time they went to invite her over, she would say that she was not feeling well.

As for the others, she would say that it was inconvenient for her to meet them.

After a few visits, Qu Qiuyan stopped coming. Qu Moying’s place was finally quiet.

On this day, after Qu Moying reported to the Old Lady, she took Yu Chun to the street. Their carriage stopped at a bookstore. This was one of the few large bookstores in the city. She had already invited Concubine Xiang to meet her here. In her life as Ji Hanyue, she would often come over to take a look. After her rebirth, she had never come here.

It was a double-storey bookstore. There were a few small rooms on the second floor. In the past, there would be people sitting and reading, but they would need to spend money on tea. Moreover, the tea was not cheap. Therefore, many people would rather sit outside than sit in the small private rooms.

Reading was what made people feel comfortable, and it was not necessary to drink tea.

Qu Moying entered a private room with familiarity. A staff of the bookstore brought tea over. Yu Chun paid for the tea and retreated to the door to wait for Concubine Xiang at the stairs.

Concubine Xiang did not come alone. She also brought the Ji Family’s second young master, the current Ji Family’s Young Master, Ji Yuanhai.

Yu Chun hurriedly led the people to the private room.

After greeting each other, the guests were seated.

Ji Yuanhai still looked like a child, but his behavior looked calm. He first explained to Qu Moying, “Fourth Lady Qu, Grandmother doesn’t allow Concubine Xiang to go out alone. And she only let her out if I follow her along. Do you need me to go out first for her to talk to you?”

“No worries! I was originally looking for you.” Qu Moying smiled and shook her head. Her gaze fell on the youth before her. Under her eye veil, her eyes were slightly dark red.

Ji Yuanhai looked a bit like her father. Judging by his eyebrows, she seemed to be able to vaguely recognize her father’s eyebrows.

“Looking for me?” Ji Yuanhai was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously raised his head and asked in surprise. Although he looked a lot calmer, he was still a half-grown child. He looked at Qu Moying in confusion.

“Young Master, how have you been these days?” Qu Moying asked with a smile. She really wanted to talk directly to Ji Yuanhai, but because it was not appropriate for a man and a woman to meet alone, and there was no direct relationship between them, it was really inconvenient. So she thought of asking Concubine Xiang to send a message. She did not expect that Ji Yuanhai would show up directly.

“What do you mean, Fourth Lady Qu?” Ji Yuanhai frowned.

Qu Moying said casually, “Is the Ji Family’s second branch letting you go just like that?”

Although Ji Yuanhai was the second branch’s concubine-born son, he was now the first branch’s heir. From this point of view, when he met Ji Yong’an and Xiao in the future, he should address them as Second Uncle and Second Aunt. They were no longer his father and mother like before.

“How could he be fine? The Second Madam and the Old Lady have been pulling a long face at Young Master.” Concubine Xiang interrupted and sighed. She was just a concubine. And she would be restrained in her days in the Ji Mansion. Although Ji Yuanhai had the title of Young Master, he was still a child. Moreover, he used to be the second branch’s concubine-born son.

Now that his position was above the second branch’s wife-born son, other than Ji Yong’an, everyone in the second branch did not feel good about it. When other people saw him, they would always show disrespect to him.

“Two days ago, Eldest Young Master even found a reason to beat Young Master up.”

“What reason?” The corners of Qu Moying’s lips curled up slightly.

“What other reason could there be? Naturally, he did it under the pretext of practicing martial arts. He said that the deceased Earl is a hero, so how could Young Master be an insignificant person? When I went to see him, Young Master was being mounted on and was beaten heavily,” Concubine Xiang said angrily.

One was already an adult, and the other was still a child. There was no chance of winning for Ji Yuanhai at all. At that time, Concubine Xiang was extremely angry, but there was nothing she could do. She could only help Ji Yuanhai back to his place with a distressed heart and ask people to apply some medication. Fortunately, Ji Yuanxing did not dare to go too far. He did not hit Ji Yuanhai in the face. Otherwise, Ji Yuanhai would not be able to come out to see anyone today.

“Concubine Xiang, don’t worry. I will practice martial arts properly in the future. I will definitely be able to win.” Seeing Concubine Xiang sadly wiping away her tears with a handkerchief, Ji Yuanhai hurriedly comforted her.

“How long?” Qu Moying asked leisurely.

“What?” Ji Yuanhai looked at Qu Moying in confusion, not understanding the meaning of her words.

“I’m asking how long will it take for you to beat Ji Yuanxing, or how long until you become the head of the family?” Qu Moying looked up and asked, leaning back against the back of the chair.

How long would it take to become the head of the family?

Ji Yuanhai was suddenly stunned. Ji Yuanxing had wanted to take over the family business since he was a child, so he started training early. He was different from Ji Yuanhai, a concubine-born son who was not valued at all. If Ji Yuanhai wanted to defeat him, he would need at least four to five years. At that time, he would be more mature. If he trained hard, he might be able to beat Ji Yuanxing.

As for inheriting Earl Ling’an’s title, there were too many variables. These few days, Ji Yuanhai had learned new things. It turned out that even though he had inherited the position of Young Master, the future inheritance of Earl Ling’an’s title was not so easy. If Concubine Xiang had not explained it to him, he would have thought that he had won.

If he could not inherit the title, then everything at present would be in vain. Not to mention becoming the head of the family. There were so many elders in the family. Moreover, he used to be a concubine-born son of the second branch. As for Concubine Xiang, she did not have the power to say anything regarding any important issue.

He needed time, but now that he thought about it, he felt that there might not be so much time for him to wait. He felt so sad that his head drooped.

Concubine Xiang also lowered her head and let out a long sigh. The current situation looked like they had won the first step, but in fact, Concubine Xiang was also very confused. She was so sorrowful that her eyes turned red.

Besides, the life and death of the Third Lady were still unknown.

“Concubine Xiang, your position is really not that high.” Seeing both of them react like this, Qu Moying slowly reminded them.
