“What? Mingcheng was taken to West Prison?” Hearing this news, Qu Zhizhen slammed his hand on the table in the study, almost standing up. Qu Mingcheng was his only son, and a promising one, so he couldn’t help but feel worried.

“Yes, he was taken away with He Mansion’s people. Master, please save Second Young Master. He shall be reaching West Prison now.”

The lad servant was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.

Qu Zhizhen’s face darkened. Everyone knew that West Prison was under Pei Yuanjun’s control. Qu Zhizhen couldn’t bail people out from West Prison easily.

Qu Zhizhen calmed down and asked, “How did you know they were taken to West Prison?”

“He Mansion’s people told me. They are now going to ask Lord Jing for help.”

“Why did Mingcheng go to He Mansion?” Qu Zhizhen asked with a frown as he keenly perceived something fishy. He had never heard that Qu Mingcheng had anything to do with Third Young Master He.

The lad servant knew that he’d better not say it, but he still braced himself and replied, “Second… Second Young Master went to question Third Young Master He.”

If Qu Mingcheng really caused trouble, he would at most be reprimanded by Qu Zhizhen, and that was all. But the lad servant was nothing more than a servant, and he did not dare to answer casually.

“What questions?” Qu Zhizhen’s face darkened.

“He wanted to ask… ask about the marriage between the two mansions… He wanted… wanted Third Young Master He to give… an explanation to Fourth Lady!” The lad servant stuttered, not daring to raise his head.

After pondering over the lad servant’s words, Qu Zhizhen suddenly slapped the table hard. “What explanation does he want?”

The two families hadn’t agreed on the marriage, so there was no need for an explanation.

“I… I don’t know. Second… Second Young Master said… he wanted… to seek justice for Fourth Lady.” The lad servant fell to his knees.

“How dare he intervene in this… Yu… Damn it!” Qu Zhizhen was annoyed. Qu Mingcheng was the son he was most proud of. He thought Qu Mingcheng was his successor. He had long forgotten about Yu, but at this time, he suddenly remembered that Yu was Qu Mingcheng’s mother, and he couldn’t help but blame it all on Yu.

After He Mansion’s scandals broke out, people kept themselves away from He Mansion. Even those who were close to He Mansion didn’t go to He Mansion now. However, Qu Mingcheng actually went to He Mansion. Just how immature was he?

He thought it was indeed a bad idea to let Yu raise Qu Mingcheng.

Although he asked Qu Mingcheng to stay away from Yu, Qu Mingcheng was still affected by Yu.

Qu Zhizhen stood up and paced, feeling angry and remorseful.

A lad servant came in and reported, “Second Master, Fourth Lady wants to see you.”

Qu Zhizhen said impatiently, “I don’t want to see anybody!”

The lad servant retreated. Just as he reached the door, Qu Zhizhen stopped him, asking him to let Qu Moying in.

He suddenly remembered that Qu Moying was not completely useless.

When Qu Moying entered the door, she saw a lad servant kneeling in front of Qu Zhizhen. She recognized that the lad servant was the one who had previously sent the brocade for Qu Mingcheng, and a trace of gloominess flashed in her eyes.

Yu Dong had already heard that Qu Mingcheng and He Dayu were both taken to West Prison.

Qu Moying stepped forward and bowed to Qu Zhizhen. “Greetings, father!”

“What’s the matter?” Qu Zhizhen sat down behind the desk again and reached out to massage his forehead.

Qu Moying raised her head and said directly, “I heard from Second Brother’s lad servant that Second Brother went to He Mansion and wanted an explanation for the matter between He Mansion and our mansion. I thought it was not a good idea. Since something has happened to He Mansion, He Mansion’s people might vent their anger on anyone who comes to them. It is inappropriate for Second Brother to go there at this time.”

Qu Zhizhen asked, “Do you know why he went there?”

Taking a glance at the lad servant who was still kneeling on the ground, Qu Moying smiled faintly and said calmly, “Yes, I know. Before Second Brother went there, he specially asked this lad servant to tell me.”

Qu Zhizhen’s expression changed. Then, he regained his composure. “Your Second Brother is just concerned about you, so he specially went there. But I didn’t expect that he would be taken away.”

Qu Mingcheng did not go to He Mansion out of concern for her, and Qu Moying believed Qu Zhizhen could tell. But Qu Moying did not care about Qu Zhizhen’s attitude.

“I’m afraid his visit to He Mansion will ruin not only my reputation but also the reputation of other sisters. I heard that Eldest Sister bumped into Third Young Master He that day, and he sent for a doctor for her.” Qu Moying said in a calm tone. Her meaning was clear. She was not the only victim of this farce.

Sure enough, Qu Zhizhen looked more and more impatient. He lifted his leg and kicked the lad servant hard. The lad servant was kicked back a few steps and heavily hit the pillar. His face was pale from the pain, but he did not dare to make a sound.

“Your Second Brother made a mistake in this matter. I will definitely let him apologize to you. He did a wrong thing out of good intentions. He is indeed too naive.” Qu Zhizhen snorted, glossing the previous words over. Then, he looked at Qu Moying and said, “Dowager Consort Qu is good to you. She even sent her maid to you last time. Now you go to the palace and beg Dowager Consort to release your Second Brother.”

As expected, Qu Zhizhen wanted to make use of her, but it didn’t matter because she was here to let him “utilize” her.

Qu Moying shook her head and refused, “Dowager Consort is not in charge of things.”

She would refuse first although she had come to let Qu Zhizhen “utilize” her.

“Even if she is not in charge of things, she could still offer a helping hand. Your Second Brother just happened to be there. He went to Third Young Master He for you. He couldn’t be implicated because of this.” Qu Zhizhen said with a serious face. It sounded like Qu Mingcheng was accidentally caught because of his concern for his younger sister. “Bring the palace maid with you and enter the palace to ask Dowager Consort for help. I will ask someone to prepare a carriage for you.”

With that, he waved his hand, not allowing Qu Moying to speak again.

He knew that Dowager Consort Qu had made it easy for Qu Moying to enter the palace during this period of time. Granny Yan had a token that allowed her to enter the palace directly.

Qu Moying glanced at him indifferently, bowed to him, and left.

Because of the urgency of the matter, Qu Moying did not report to the Old Lady and she directly brought Granny Yan and Yu Dong with her, heading to the palace in a carriage.

In the carriage, Granny Yan, who already knew the whole story, said to Qu Moying, “Lady, if you want to enter the palace to ask Dowager Consort for help, I’m afraid you will be disappointed!”

“I know!” Qu Moying nodded with a calm expression.

Granny Yan glanced at Qu Moying and asked, “Lady, then why do you have to enter the palace?”

“Father wants me to enter the palace, so I will do as he wishes.” Qu Moying said indifferently. She lifted the curtain and looked at the street outside leisurely.

“Lady, do you know why Second Young Master Qu went to He Mansion?” Granny Yan asked with a hint of dissatisfaction. She had heard something just now, and she felt that there was something fishy about it. It was easy to do something wrong when acting on an impulse.

“Yes. He went there for me.” Qu Moying smiled and said carelessly, her eyes still looking out of the window.

“No, it was not true.” Granny Yan couldn’t help but say with an unhappy look. She thought Qu Moying really didn’t know about the situation and was going to explain it to her.

“So, what if it was not true? Granny Yan, do you think it is necessary for me to argue with my father?” Qu Moying withdrew her hand from the curtain and looked at Granny Yan with a smile.

Granny Yan understood the meaning behind Qu Moying’s words. After thinking for a while, she raised her head and asked, “Lady, are you willing to bear with it?”

“What if I am unwilling? I’m Fourth Lady Qu, and he is my father. This is the case.” Qu Moying said calmly. She had obtained a thorough perception of Qu Zhizhen’s attitude after rebirth.

“If you are unwilling, you can leave. When you come back in the future, you will no longer be who you are today!” Granny Yan lifted her eyes and said sharply.

“Oh, what do you mean?” Qu Moying leaned against the seat and smiled sweetly. She was not surprised to hear Granny Yan’s words.

This made Granny Yan think even more highly of Qu Moying. She had been living in Qianyue House during this period of time, and she could see that Qu Moying was special. Ordinary ladies could not compare with her. Granny Qing had never seen such an intelligent lady, not even in the palace.

Moreover, Qu Moying was gorgeous.

A woman like her should be kept by the royal family only. It might not be a good thing for a normal family to have her because they would probably fail to protect her.

Even though Qu Moying was still wearing an eye veil in front of others, Granny Yan knew that her eyes had been cured. Qu Moying still wore the eye veil because she wanted to keep a low profile. She was so beautiful that she would not be able to keep a low profile if she removed her eye veil.

It was best to act like this now. Qu Moying was smart. As for Young Master Yongning, who had come to Qu Mansion to cancel the engagement with Qu Moying, Granny Yan thought he was not worthy of Qu Moying at all.

The cancellation of the engagement was just a matter of time!

“Lady, have you ever thought of entering the royal family?” Granny Yan suggested.

“What if I enter the royal family?” Qu Moying coldly curled her lips and sneered in her heart. She had no expectations for the so-called royal family.

“If you have any interest, Dowager Consort will definitely help you. Dowager Consort has been in the palace for so many years. Although she has no child, she can still stay in the palace. You can rely on Dowager Consort. Things like today will not happen again!”

Granny Yan said.

The meaning behind these words was very obvious. Hearing that, Qu Moying only smiled. “Granny Yan, you know what has happened today, and so do I. My father also knows, but he still wants me to enter the palace to ask Dowager Consort for help. Why?”

Granny Yan puffed out her chest and said, “Lady, if you marry into the royal family, even Mr. Qu could not do anything to you, let alone Second Young Master Qu.”

“Marry into the royal family? With my status and reputation, is it possible for me to marry into the royal family?” Qu Moying sneered and ridiculed herself, apparently referring to the scandals about her engagement.

Granny Yan was shocked. Qu Moying was still somewhat childish, but she ridiculed herself emotionlessly. Her eyes were bound by the long eye veil, making her look weaker than others. She looked more pitiful than those who pretended to be pitiful.

However, what she said was so detached. What made such a young girl like her have such a clear-headed and pessimistic idea?

She seemed to have seen through the world!

But she was only a fourteen-year-old girl!
