Chapter 246



Qu Moying walked in front, followed by Yu Chun and Yu Dong with offerings in their hands. A few steps away was Qu Qiuyan, followed by only one maid. Qu Moying and Qu Qiuyan were a little far away from each other. They did not seem to be going together to the same place.

They seemed to be two irrelevant teams, each going its own way.

They did not say anything. There was only the sound of footsteps and the skirt sweeping the floor, which was light and disordered.

Eternal flames were placed in different Buddha halls in Dabei Temple, and they were placed according to the statuses of the people being worshipped.

Yue’s identity allowed her eternal flame to be placed in the same Buddha hall as those powerful and high-status people, even though it was only at the corner.

When Ji Hanyue was still alive, she would come to this hall every time she came to Dabei Temple. Later, Qu Mansion’s Yue’s eternal flame and Ling Mansion’s Yue’s eternal flame were placed closer, so Ji Hanyue would also pay respects to Qu Mansion’s Yue every time she came to Dabei Temple.

The door of the hall was open, and there was no one inside. Qu Moying stood at the entrance of the hall and turned to look at Qu Qiuyan, who was walking over, with a deep look.

“Moying, why don’t you go in to pay respects?” Qu Qiuyan said with a natural look.

“Third Sister, do you want to go in with me?” Qu Moying looked at Qu Qiuyan and suddenly asked.

“Moying, do you want me to go in with you?” Qu Qiuyan asked calmly. She was well-prepared. Since she was here, she naturally had a way to get away with it. She didn’t want to be dizzy and weak along with Qu Moying.

Granny Qing had already gone to call the scoundrels. It wouldn’t be long for those scoundrels to come over. Qu Qiuyan would find someone to witness the scene. By then, Qu Moying would be unable to defend herself. Qu Moying would only be weak all over but still conscious, so they could do anything to her.

Even if Qu Qiuyan wanted to see the scene, she would come after it was finished.

“Third Sister, since you don’t want to go in, then why are you following me?” Qu Moying sneered and bluntly asked. Her words were so straightforward that Qu Qiuyan did not know how to answer.

Qu Qiuyan tried to suppress her anger. She decided not to make a fuss about it because Qu Moying was going to fall into her trap.

“I just wanted to make Grandmother at ease. Grandmother is worried about us because we two are not on good terms. But I’d better come with Grandmother later to pay respects.” Qu Qiuyan said.

“Since that’s the case, you’d better leave now.” Qu Moying waved her hand and asked Qu Qiuyan to leave.

According to Old Lady Ji’s character, it was almost time for her to arrive. In fact, she should not come at this time judging by her past preference. But Ji Youran had just been hurt, and Old Lady Ji must be flustered at this time. What Pei Yuanjun had done actually helped Qu Moying.

Old Lady Ji had been easy to influence, but now it was even easier.

Although Qu Qiuyan had already planned to leave, she couldn’t help but be furious because she was chased away by Qu Moying, and she almost couldn’t hold it in. She suppressed her anger and turned to leave with a sneer, thinking that she could soon watch Qu Moying being trampled like a pile of mud.

“Miss, the Fourth Lady hasn’t entered the hall.” After walking for a short distance, Qing Ju suddenly said in a low voice.

“She’s still at the entrance of the hall?” Qu Qiuyan paused.

“Yes, she is still there. She seems to be in a daze and hasn’t gone in.” Qing Ju secretly looked back and reported in a low voice.

Qu Qiuyan’s face darkened. Everything was ready. If Qu Moying did not go in, it would be troublesome when the scoundrels came later.

She turned to walk to a forked road.

There were a few large trees on the forked road. They were flourishing, which could cover Qu Qiuyan’s body once she hid behind the trees.

She turned around and looked out through the gaps between the branches and leaves. She vaguely saw the corner of Qu Moying’s clothes. As expected, Qu Moying was still there. Qu Qiuyan could not help but frown.

“Miss…” Qing Ju panicked.

“Go and wait for Granny Qing outside. If you see her, let her stop the scoundrels first. Let them come a while after Qu Moying has entered the hall.” Qu Qiuyan thought for a moment and said.

If Qu Moying didn’t go in, she wouldn’t burn the offerings. If the scoundrels went over at this time, they might even fight. It would be troublesome if they made such a scene.

The two of them only paid attention to Qu Moying and did not pay attention to Qu Moying’s maids…

“I understand.” Qing Ju nodded and left carefully. She went to the main road outside to wait for Granny Qing. Sure enough, Granny Qing walked over in a hurry not long after.

“Granny Qing.” Qing Ju came out from the side and stopped Granny Qing.

“Where is Third Lady?” Granny Qing looked behind her.

“Third Lady hasn’t come out yet. She’s there.” Qing Ju pointed at the hall.

“Did Fourth Lady stop Third Lady from coming out? What should we do?” Granny Qing asked anxiously.

Once the herb was burnt, everyone around it would be affected.

The scoundrels didn’t know anything about the plan. If they offended Qu Qiuyan, it would be troublesome.

“Third Lady has come out, but Fourth Lady hasn’t entered the hall yet. She is standing outside the hall. Third Lady asked me to tell you not to lead the people over at this time. Fourth Lady has not burned the offerings yet! Third Lady will let me inform you when the time comes.” Qing Ju hurriedly explained.

“She asked me to wait?” Granny Qing said awkwardly.

“Yes, wait a little longer. It’s useless to go over now.” Qing Ju nodded.

“Alright, I’ll give it a try.” Granny Qing turned around helplessly. She had a connection with one of those scoundrels. As for the other scoundrels, they did not know about the plan.

The more people were in the know, the more likely it would go wrong.

This was the only thing they could do in this situation. After leaving Qing Ju, Granny Qing hurried back. Halfway along the road, she saw the scoundrels coming over and gave a look to one of them.

The one reacted quickly and immediately stopped.

“Brother Qian, why do you stop? Didn’t you say that we might meet a beauty?”

“Brother Qian, you were in a hurry to go over just now. Why do you stop now? Do you think of the tigress at your home?”

The rest of the scoundrels teased him.

“My old servant has something to tell me. I’ll go to the side to talk with her first. Wait for me.” Brother Qian said naturally.

Only then did they see Granny Qing. Seeing that she was really an old servant, they smiled and let him go.

Brother Qian and Granny Qing walked to a tree on the side. Brother Qian’s face darkened. “What happened?”

Actually, they didn’t talk to each other just now. When they passed by each other, the two of them exchanged a look, and he knew it was about time. He didn’t expect Granny Qing to show up at this time, which would mess up things. However, judging from Granny Qing’s expression, he knew something must have happened, so he couldn’t just make eye contact with her.

“Don’t go there yet. Wait a moment.” Granny Qing hurriedly said.

“Why?” Brother Qian asked unhappily.

“She hasn’t entered the hall yet. It’s useless to go over. When I come back later, you can go over there. Wait here for a while.” Granny Qing said.

“Be quick, don’t cause any trouble for me.” Brother Qian frowned.

“I know, I know.” Granny Qing nodded repeatedly.

After saying a few words, they both turned around to leave. When Granny Qing left, she heard those scoundrels talking and laughing with Brother Qian. Brother Qian seemed to say that the scenery here was good, and if they enjoyed the scenery for a while longer, perhaps beauty would fall from the sky.

On the other side, Qu Qiuyan was waiting anxiously. Even now, Qu Moying was still standing outside the hall. She did not seem to have any intention of going in, which made Qu Qiuyan anxious.

Things were about to come to the last step, and there was no room for any mistakes.

Qu Qiuyan had been staring at Qu Moying closely through the gaps between the leaves. Suddenly, she saw Qu Moying walk down the stairs. Her two maids still followed her. Then, the three of them walked around the hall and went further away. Qu Qiuyan could not see them clearly. She was so anxious that she took a few steps out and wanted to chase after them to take a look.

She had only taken a few steps when she saw Qing Ju running over with sweat all over her head. She pulled Qing Ju over, stood at the fork, lowered her voice and asked, “How is it?”

A few people suddenly appeared at the moon-shaped gate nearby. Qu Qiuyan was stunned and hurriedly pulled Qing Ju away.

Although she dodged quickly, she was still seen by the people at the moon-shaped gate.

Old Lady Ji, who was at the front, frowned. She did not see who it was, but she could realize that it was a young lady with a maid. They must be after no good because they were avoiding people.

“Which family’s lady is she?” Old Lady Ji asked her personal maid, who used to follow her and had seen many ladies from aristocratic families.

Coincidentally, this old maid had seen Qu Qiuyan before.

“She seems to be the Third Lady of Vice Minister Qu’s Mansion. I can’t see her clearly, so I am not sure.” The old maid did not dare to be too absolute. Qu Qiuyan was sneaking around with a maid, and it seemed that she was not doing good things.

Qu Qiuyan did not come up to greet Old Lady Ji, but she even hid to the side.

“Qu Mansion is becoming more and more unruly, and the several ladies of Qu Mansion are not good, either.” Thinking of Qu Moying, Old Lady Ji sneered. Then she stepped forward, followed by Concubine Xiang closely.

Old Lady Ji brought Concubine Xiang this time. Xiao had never intended to come, and now, she could not come at all. She went directly to Crown Prince’s Mansion. When she heard that Ji Youran was injured last night, Xiao was so shocked that she almost fainted. Old Lady Ji got up early and came to Dabei Temple according to the plan. It was lucky that she left the city early. Otherwise, she could not even leave the city.

Concubine Xiang silently followed Old Lady Ji. The group of people arrived at the entrance of the hall and entered it. There was not a single person inside because it was still early, and this place was not for ordinary people to visit. It was the place where the aristocratic families set up eternal flames, so normal people could not come here.

Earl Ling’an’s eternal flame was lit and placed in the innermost place in the hall. With Earl Ling’an’s status, he deserved an eternal flame in the innermost part of the hall. When Old Lady Ji walked to her son’s memorial tablet, she saw that someone had already burned some offerings in front of Yue’s memorial tablet. She could not help but frown. The offerings were only half burned, and the sachet was still there, which looked annoying to her.

The offerings were burned messy, and the incense sticks had just been lit. The people who burned the offerings seemed to have just left in a hurry.

Old Lady Ji only let her personal maid and Concubine Xiang stay. She asked the others to leave. The old maid and Concubine Xiang began to burn the offerings they had prepared. Old Lady Ji picked up the incense and looked up at her son’s eternal flame, and her eyes turned red.
