“Grandaunt…” Xiao Hanyuan was stunned and wanted to say something but was interrupted by the Old Lady. “Go back and read your books. The matter in the backyard has nothing to do with you. I asked you just now to make things clearer. Studying is important. Don’t delay your study because of such a trifle!”

The Old Lady then looked at Granny Wu.

Granny Wu understood and walked to Xiao Hanyuan with a smile. “Young Master Xiao, I’ll send you out.”

At this point, Xiao Hanyuan couldn’t stay any longer. He could only bow to the Old Lady. Then, he glared at Qu Moying and turned to leave.

Seeing Xiao Hanyuan leave, Qu Xuexin cried again, trembling all over.

Xiao Hanyuan saw this scene, and he pitied her even more, but he had to leave. He could only walk out of the yard. However, he was still worried, so he did not go back to the outer yard. Instead, he lingered outside the Old Lady’s yard.

“Moying, what do you say?” After Xiao Hanyuan left, the Old Lady heaved a sigh of relief. His absence made it easier for her to ask the questions.

No matter how bad Qu Xuexin was, she was still her granddaughter. The Old Lady really did not want Xiao Hanyuan to see the unspeakable side of Qu Xuexin.

“Grandmother, Young Master Wang saved me back then, but I don’t think he is a good person. I thought I had an accident because someone had plotted against me. Therefore, I didn’t ask who he was because I wanted to avoid associating with him. I wanted to avoid meeting him this time, but Eldest Sister insisted on getting on the boat. I had no choice but to follow her.”

Qu Moying looked up naturally and recounted what had happened before. She did not blame Qu Xuexin but just said that Young Master Wang was weird.

“When I was about to get on the board, he laid down the gangplank, which was small and unstable. He stood by the boat, and he seemed to want to support me, but I didn’t want him to support me because I was afraid that it would taint my reputation and I would fall into someone’s trap, so I got on the boat with Yu Dong’s help. The same situation happened again when I got off the boat. His gangplank was too small and unstable. At that time, Eldest Sister was standing by the gangplank. If she accidentally kicked the gangplank, I would have fallen into the water.”

Qu Moying said indifferently.

Her words pointed out how suspicious Young Master Wang was. Qu Moying believed that it was easy to investigate this suspicious Young Master Wang.

They could also find out whether Qu Xuexin wanted to hurt her or not. It would be easy to find out the truth if they asked the passers-by at that time. With Qu Zhizhen’s ability, as long as he wanted to find out, it would not be difficult.

The Old Lady immediately understood. “Someone plotted against you? A chain of traps was set to deal with you?”

“It should be the case. Grandmother, it is best to have my father investigate who is behind this matter, who wants to deal with me or…”

Qu Moying paused at this point. She was an unmarried lady, and she had been abandoned once, but someone dealt with her again and again. Such a perfect trap was set up to deal with her. She thought she was not the main target of the other party. It seemed that the other party was trying to deal with someone by making use of her. The real target of the other party could be Qu Zhizhen or Lord Yun!

If someone else said so, the Old Lady would only take it as a joke.

However, since Qu Moying said so, the Old Lady had to pay attention to it. Previously, someone tried to assassinate Qu Moying in the street. It was possible for the other party to set up another trap to deal with her.

Was the one behind this trying to deal with Qu Zhizhen or Lord Yun? If so, it was not a trifle.

The Old Lady nodded. “I’ll go talk to your father later and ask him to check it out.”

Hearing the Old Lady’s words, Qu Xuexin panicked. If this matter had proceeded as planned, it wouldn’t matter even if Young Master Wang was investigated. He would have gone far away, and no one could find out about him. However, he screwed the matter up. In the end, Qu Moying was fine, whereas she was in trouble. If they found out anything, she would be in real trouble.

She raised her eyes and sobbed in a trembling voice, “Grandmother, how could it be? How could someone want to deal with Moying? Moying is just a weak girl. It’s impossible.”

“Eldest Sister, do you know something?” Qu Moying curled her lips in ridicule.

Qu Xuexin hurriedly explained, “No… I just think it’s impossible.”

Qu Moying said gently, “Oh, I forgot that Eldest Sister was saved by Young Master Wang in the end. If Young Master Wang comes to…”

The Old Lady didn’t know about it and asked immediately, “What? Xuexin was saved by this Young Master Wang of an unknown origin?”

Just now, Qu Xuexin’s words were vague. She only mentioned the surname of Young Master Wang and did not say anything else about him. The Old Lady still thought it was Xiao Hanyuan who saved Qu Xuexin.

“Yes. At that time, many people saw it. Grandmother, if you don’t believe it, you can ask Third Sister. She left at that time because Cousin Xiao blamed her.” Since Xiao Hanyuan was not here, Qu Moying let out the whole story bluntly.

Even if Qu Qiuyan did not testify for Qu Moying, she would testify for herself. She had to make her leaving at that time sound reasonable. Only then could she gain a firm foothold.

If the Old Lady asked her about this thing, she would definitely tell the truth.

Qu Xuexin was rescued by a man in public, and she had bodily contact with him. If he asked to marry her, she would have to marry him. Would Qu Xuexin marry a man with an unknown background and even with malicious intentions?

The Old Lady couldn’t let this happen. She would rather let Qu Xuexin live in Qu Mansion for the rest of her life than let her marry such a man.

She was clear about the whole story now. Qu Xuexin clearly had no good intentions. The Old Lady believed that Qu Xuexin, who had always acted properly, must have sensed something. Moreover, Qu Moying repeatedly mentioned that Qu Xuexin stood by the gangplank at that time, and she understood what Qu Moying meant.

At this time, Qu Xuexin knew she was in a tricky situation. Her tears fell down, and she said anxiously, “Grandmother, I… I really don’t know if there was something wrong with him. Grandmother, I… I don’t want to have anything to do with him.”

The Old Lady asked in a low voice, “Did many people see it at that time?”

Qu Moying replied, “Everyone saw it.”

This matter could not be hidden because many people saw it. If this matter spread out, Qu Xuexin’s reputation would be ruined.

The Old Lady asked in detail, “Does anyone know who you guys are?”

Qu Moying thought for a moment and answered frankly, “If Cousin Xiao didn’t make a fuss, probably nobody would recognize us. However, I guess many people should have recognized us!”

Xiao Hanyuan must have been waiting for a chance to set Qu Moying up. Otherwise, how could he be there so coincidentally? But now, he was the culprit in exposing Qu Xuexin’s identity.

The Old Lady was both angry and resentful. She was really speechless at her grandnephew. She slapped the table hard and looked at the crying Qu Xuexin with disappointment.

The Old Lady said in a deep voice, “Alright, don’t cry. Princess Ji asked you to go to Eastern Palace to apologize to her. Otherwise, this matter will not be over.”

“Grandmother…” Qu Xuexin looked at the Old Lady with a pleading face. Her heart was full of fear.

It was really an accident. At that time, she just wanted to take County Lady Jingyu and the Crown Prince’s Love Lanterns. She did not expect to encounter such a thing. She wanted to do it to please County Lady Jingyu, but now she provoked Eastern Palace’s Princess Ji. She did not expect that the matter would end up like this.

Qu Moying lightly reminded her, “Eldest Sister, Princess Ji has always been domineering. You should have made a concession at that time. How could you have gotten into a conflict with her and even implicated Eldest Brother? The Crown Prince is different from the other princes. He is the future Emperor. This… might even implicate Eldest Uncle and Eldest Brother’s career.”

Qu Xuexin became more and more flustered. She looked at the Old Lady helplessly, and her hands trembled. “Grandmother… what… what should I do?”

She just wanted to please County Lady Jingyu. She didn’t want to do anything else!

Qu Moying looked at Qu Xuexin calmly and said, “Eldest Sister, if you have any method, try it out. I’m afraid that Princess Ji will not let it over easily, and the Crown Prince will also intervene. You embarrassed Princess Ji, and even the Crown Prince will feel disgraced. I heard that Princess Ji fell heavily.”

Hearing Qu Moying’s words, the Old Lady also became flustered. This matter sounded difficult to handle. Moreover, judging from the message her son had just sent over, it seemed that Princess Ji did not intend to make concessions.

The room suddenly quieted down, and only Qu Xuexin’s even more flustered sobs could be heard. This matter was indeed not easy to handle. The other party was Eastern Palace’s Princess Ji. She was the only female master in Eastern Palace now. She was really powerful. Even if she would remain a Side Princess in the future, if the Crown Prince ascended to the throne, her status would be incomparably distinguished. Other mansions’ Side Princesses would not be able to compare with her.

“Grandmother…” Qu Xuexin could not stand the silence and looked at the Old Lady pleadingly again.

“You can leave first. Ask your mother to prepare some gifts. You take them to Eastern Palace to apologize. As for whether it will work or not…” The Old Lady sighed. She was not sure. No one in Qu Mansion was sure. She could not help but turn to look at Qu Moying. If Lord Yun could intervene, this matter should be easy to handle.

However, the Old Lady immediately denied this thought. How could a person like Lord Yun go to the Crown Prince for a woman? He knocked Qu Xuexin into the water this time, and he let Qu Xuexin get on his boat to change her clothes for Qu Moying’s sake. But that was all.

How could he do everything for Qu Moying?

Thinking of this, the Old Lady couldn’t help but pity Qu Moying. She clearly knew that Lord Yun wanted Qu Moying to enter his mansion not because he was in love with her but because he just happened to meet her. Qu Moying could not refuse to be with him, and the Old Lady dared not do anything.

“Grandmother…” Qu Xuexin still wanted to say something else.

The Old Lady shook her hand weakly and leaned back. She closed her eyes and did not speak again. Seeing her reaction, Granny Wu walked to Qu Xuexin and gently helped her up. She said in a low voice, “First Lady, go back first. Let Her Ladyship think of another way.”

“OK… then… I’ll go back first.” Qu Xuexin answered in a daze, her heart becoming more and more flustered…
