Yu Dong pondered for a moment and said, “I think today’s matter is related to Third Lady. Although Qing Mei didn’t mention today’s matter as if she was sincerely waiting for me to go over, what if I didn’t go out just now or failed to see her? I don’t think she was that urgent to see me.”

Qing Mei seemed to have come for Yu Dong. Although she had followed Qu Qiuyan’s orders to look around, her major target was Yu Dong.

But what if this was not the case? Qing Mei had been playing nice with Yu Dong for a long time. She shouldn’t be so anxious.

She was planning to let him fall into the trap slowly.

In this case, her appearance in front of Qianyue House today was hasty and doubtful. It seemed that she was here to keep an eye on Eunuch De Fu, which meant that she was one of the people who knew that Eunuch De Fu would come.

Qu Moying sneered. “Qu Qiuyan?”

Yu Dong shook his head and said, “No. I think it is Second Young Master. Qing Mei obviously has something to do with Second Young Master. If she really works for him, she could come to keep an eye on the situation for him. After all, with her identity, you couldn’t do anything to her even if she is discovered. She could say that Third Lady had asked her to watch the fun here.”

Everyone in the mansion knew that Qu Qiuyan and Qu Moying didn’t get along with each other, so it was not a big deal if Qu Qiuyan’s maid occasionally came to pry on Qu Moying’s yard.

But it would be different if Qu Mingcheng was the one who sent Qing Mei over.

Qu Mingcheng appeared to be impartial. He seemed to be pretty good to Qu Moying. Although he was not particularly close to Qu Moying, he did not help Qu Qiuyan by making things difficult for Qu Moying. He seemed to be very fair.

Moreover, as a man, how could he send someone to pry on his sister’s yard?

“Yu Dong, since he is trying to make use of you, he will definitely meet you.” Qu Moying said meaningfully with a sneer.

“Lady, I understand.” Yu Dong immediately understood and secretly gritted his teeth. He was waiting for Qu Mingcheng to come to him. “Should I go and look around again?”

He was afraid that Qing Mei was not the only one who had come over just now. Maybe Qing Mei made him miss the opportunity to find the others.

“No need! They will come.” Qu Moying said thoughtfully. How could the person behind the scenes be willing to give up like this since he had set up such a big trap?

To be able to set up such a big trap, the person must have drawn support from others, but there seemed to be people who took the initiative to help him!

She was now in a fog, waiting for the other party to make a move. Meanwhile, Qu Xuexin seemed to be even more restless…

Qu Xuexin was restless in her room. She stood up and walked to the window to take a look several times. When she finally saw Hong Mei return, she hurriedly asked her to come in. After hearing Hong Mei’s report, she was stunned for a moment. She had expected something terrible to happen. “What? He left? Nothing happened?”

Hong Mei reported. “I am not sure. It’s just that Second Master chased after him. I don’t know if something bad happened or not, but Yu Dong looked calm when she came out to check. It didn’t seem like something bad had happened.”

Qu Xuexin’s face darkened. Although she was not outstanding in appearance, she looked gentle in normal times. However, she looked quite mean now.

She frowned and turned around before instructing Hong Mei, “Go and bring her over.”

Hong Mei nodded and left. A short while later, she came in with a middle-aged maid over thirty years old, who seemed to be quite quick-witted.

“Go and report to your lady that nothing has happened.” Qu Xuexin tried to compose herself and said. Even now, she still had a blank look on her face.

Previously, she had sent someone to the Liu Family to ask for help from Liu Jingyu. However, as soon as she sent a maid out, one of Liu Jingyu’s old maids came. The old maid asked her to send someone to keep an eye on Qu Moying, saying that something big would happen in a while. As of now, the maid she sent to Liu Jingyu had not returned yet.

This made her really angry. If this old maid was not sent by Liu Jingyu, Qu Xuexin would really think that someone was deliberately making a fool of her.

The old maid was stunned and asked in surprise, “Nothing happened? Nobody came over?”

She didn’t show much respect to Qu Xuexin, which made Qu Xuexin unhappy. However, she was sent by Liu Jingyu, so Qu Xuexin didn’t dare to offend her.

Qu Xuexin could only suppress the displeasure in her heart. “Someone came over. I heard that it was a eunuch, but he only had a brief walk in Moying’s yard. After that, he left. My Second Uncle chased after him. I don’t know if they said anything, but Moying’s yard was peaceful. Nothing happened.”

Hong Mei was just a maid, so she naturally could not recognize Eunuch De Fu, who used to be the head eunuch of the Empress Dowager. She could only tell that he was a eunuch and hear his sharp voice from afar.

The old maid was overjoyed and clapped hard. “Second Master Qu chased after him. Did Second Master Qu look panicked?”

Hong Mei replied, “He seemed to be panicked.”

The old maid bluntly reprimanded Hong Mei, “Then why did you say nothing happened? Something must have happened! Even your mansion’s Second Master was in such a panic, how can you say nothing happened?”

Hong Mei’s face turned red from being reprimanded and she could not help but retort, “There was nothing unusual in Fourth Lady’s yard. The maids and old maids of her yard didn’t panic at all. There shouldn’t be anything serious. Even though someone from the palace went to see Fourth Lady, it might not be something bad. Fourth Lady has even received a reward from the palace before.”

Moreover, Granny Yan was still living in Qianyue House.

“How ignorant!” The old maid sneered and pouted.

Her expression made Qu Xuexin feel like she was mocked as well. Qu Xuexin’s face darkened even more. She felt annoyed. If she hadn’t asked Liu Jingyu for help, she would not have tolerated this old maid now. Did this old maid think she was superior to them simply because she was Liu Jingyu’s maid?

Qu Xuexin’s face darkened as she asked coldly, “What is going on?”

“First Lady Qu, I don’t know exactly what happened. Our lady just asked me to see if there is anything wrong. Now that there is something, I will go back and report to her.” The old maid answered ambiguously, not intending to tell Qu Xuexin the truth.

In her opinion, Qu Xuexin was useless. It was better not to tell her.

Her contempt was so obvious that Qu Xuexin was a little annoyed. But Qu Xuexin tried to suppress her anger and said, “I sent someone to your lady. When you see her later, let her come back!”

She felt that the maid she sent out should have already seen Liu Jingyu and told Liu Jingyu that she needed help. There must be a response right now.

The old maid said with a smile, “Yes, First Lady Qu. I will take my leave.”

After saying that, she turned around and left. She didn’t even bow. Being neglected like this, Qu Xuexin was so angry that her face turned livid. She was more determined to seize the opportunity.

As long as she got the favor of the Crown Prince, it didn’t matter even if Liu Jingyu would be the Crown Princess.

Thinking of this, she clenched the sachet in her hand. She made this sachet before, and it was even more exquisite than the previous one taken by the Crown Prince. Since the Crown Prince liked the sachet she made, she would send this sachet over as well. She must let the Crown Prince understand her feelings.

She could even improve this sachet. She decided to embroider a true love knot on the sachet later.

She would not marry someone so casually. Although she had thought of Xiao Hanyuan as an option before, she would choose him only if she couldn’t find anyone better than him. However, she would never consider him now.

She would not listen to her father! Never!

What she wanted was glory and wealth in the future. She didn’t want to marry a mere examinee. Even if Xiao Hanyuan passed the Imperial Examination, he couldn’t compare with the Crown Prince.

Other princes’ concubines could not compare with the Crown Prince’s concubines. As long as she could win the Crown Prince’s heart, she would have endless possibilities.

She heard that the Crown Prince loved Ji Hanyue the most. But now that Ji Hanyue was dead, there was no one in the Crown Prince’s heart. What she had to do was to make the Crown Prince fall in love with her.

Right now, she had already taken the first step, or perhaps the Crown Prince had already taken the first step, and it was also the best step. She now had unlimited opportunities.

Thinking of this, Qu Xuexin was spirited.

Her mother could hold back her father for the time being. As long as she received the Crown Prince’s reply, nothing else would be a problem.

Now she had an opportunity. She didn’t want to make any mistake again.

After Liu Jingyu’s old maid returned to the Liu Family, she went straight to Liu Jingyu’s yard. When she walked close to the yard, she saw maids and old maids standing in two rows neatly outside. She immediately panicked.

She called the old maid standing at the back and asked her what had happened. Only then did she know that Mrs. Liu had come. She did not dare to immediately go in and report, so she just waited outside the yard.

After waiting for a long time and finally seeing Mrs. Liu leave with her servants, the old maid cautiously entered the yard and asked someone to report her arrival.

A maid came out and called her in.

As soon as the old maid entered the room, she looked up and saw the livid face of County Lady Jingyu, who was sitting on the top. Her heart started beating wildly, and she did not dare to be rash. She hurriedly recounted everything that Qu Xuexin and Hong Mei had said and added her own guess. The final conclusion was, of course, that something bad had really happened to Qu Moying, but it was unknown what exactly happened for now.

After she finished speaking, she quietly waited for Liu Jingyu’s response. She had already keenly sensed that the atmosphere in the room was weird. Just now, she even saw that Liu Jingyu’s eyes were red as if she had cried.

But how was this possible? Mrs. Liu had always treated County Lady Jingyu the best and had never scolded her. What was going on now? Could it have something to do with what happened today?

Thinking of this, the old maid became even more respectful.

It was so quiet in the room that the old maid could almost hear her heartbeat, and she was getting more and more flustered…

The atmosphere was so tense that the air even seemed to stop flowing.

The old maid stooped even lower as if she was pressed by something, and her forehead began to sweat.

Liu Jingyu finally spoke with a bit of gloom, “That’s all?”

“That’s… that’s what First Lady Qu said!” The old maid stammered, not daring to say that a part of her report was based on her guess.
