Chapter 491 - 491 Are They Talking about the Same Nunnery?
I have already had Sister Miao check it out before, that small nunnery, although not big, is also very clear, and had a good reputation in the past, so there is nothing wrong with it.
There is one thing that Qu Mo Ying is still satisfied with, the nunnery owner at the moment was there fourteen years ago, and was also presiding over everything in the nunnery at that time, which means that it was the same person when her birth mother, Xiao Yue’s, was killed.
“You saw Yu?” Hearing Sister Miao say this, Qu Mo Ying’s face sank.
“The old slave saw from afar, Hailan help her to rest in a place, there are two young nuns in the nunnery to help, look at talking and laughing, the mood is very good look, the old slave later also saw an older come over, sitting on the side of Mrs. Yu to talk, and then asked, but this nunnery in the presiding officer.”
Sister Miao’s face is also not good, she naturally knows Qu Mo Ying’s suspicion, looked at the thin young lady in front of her, although she still has a few childishness, but she had to shoulder all of them, thinking about it is hard to feel in her heart, she has followed the young lady for so many years, and watched the young lady come over step by step, how hard is it for other people not to be clear about, and how could she not be clear about it.
All of this is because since childhood without the care of the birth mother, this Qu Squire and did not put this daughter in the heart, let Yu’s tossed the lady, the lady this is also a death to survive.
“Sister Miao, go get Sister Zhou to come over.” Qu Mo Ying paused and said.
“Yes!” Sister Miao knew that Qu Mo Ying wanted to ask Sister Zhou about some old stories, so she answered and retreated, bringing Sister Zhou in a short while later.
Only after Sister Zhou had bowed did Qu Mo Ying ask with a straight face, “Sister Zhou, when you and Mother were at the nunnery at that time, did you perceive something?”
Sister Zhou also knew that Qu Mo Ying was looking into the old events of that time, after thinking about it carefully, she shook her head and smiled bitterly, “Miss, the old slave was preoccupied with Madam at that time, and really didn’t find anything, the people in the nunnery weren’t good or bad to Madam, they just took care of the three meals a day and usually couldn’t even see anyone.”
“Three meals a day, they’re the ones who send them over?” Qu Mo Ying’s heart fluttered.
“It is the nunnery specially sent over, sometimes the lady wants to use something in particular, the old slave will also go to the nunnery’s kitchen to do it, but the nunnery’s things are not casually accessible, the old slave to do it once, but also have to give another silver, the nunnery’s female nuns don’t seem like a kindly, every time they will ask for some more.”
Sister Zhou said, some of the details of the time, she can not recall, but for the nunnery, she is still very clear, that matron is a greedy, to give less she is not happy, and sometimes deliberately take some of the defective products to the lady, Sister Zhou sometimes are forced to hold back the anger, before giving the silver.
“Mother was neglected for living there? The other people in the nunnery don’t care about Mother?” Qu Mo Ying asked after a moment of silence, which was quite different from the attitude towards Thi.
Mother was in a bad situation, was cold-shouldered by the father, pregnant and had to leave the House of Qu, went to the nunnery, how to look at it does not seem to care about the appearance, but must be the main mother of the house, which gave birth to a child after the things, or can not be predicted, how even a nunnery in an old nunnery dare to be so contemptuous of the mother?
“What the old slave saw there was that whoever saw Lady Yu was very polite, and the female nuns bowed first every time.” Sister Miao also spoke up.
The contrast between the two situations is strange!
Yu’s current situation is certainly worse than her mother, even for the main room, she is now in this situation, it is almost difficult to go back to the house, how was the nunnery so good, from time to time, but also go to visit, this day than in the house when the time is also comfortable, like a fish jumping shallow stalls after the reentry into the water.
Like a fish out of water?
What made Yu able to do this while Mother was being looked down upon at the time, was it because she thought there was no way she would ever have a day to reply?
If this is the case, then how can they conclude that their mother will not reply one day?
“Sister Zhou, when we were in the nunnery at that time, would grandmother send someone to ask mother?” Qu Mo Ying paused and asked again.
“Mrs. Tai will send people over from time to time, and sometimes bring some fresh sparse vegetables and fruits over, the old slave thinks that these things are fresher than the nunnery for the lady to use, and sometimes you can only give silver to the kitchen, and cook for the lady yourself, and every time Mrs. Tai sends food over, the lady uses it well, and doesn’t feel uncomfortable.”
Sister Zhou replied naturally.
“Mother still feels uncomfortable after using the nunnery’s dishes?” Qu Mo Ying froze, and her eyes were frosty.
“Sometimes there will be, old slave at that time felt that the food in the nunnery is not so fresh, but there is also far away from the city, the old slave also have to take care of madam, and it is not possible to go to look for fresh food every day, but also fortunately, the dowager lady will think of madam from time to time, and send someone to send some fresh over.”
Thinking of how hard it was for the lady in the nunnery, Sister Zhou’s eyes reddened and she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. A pregnant woman with only one attendant by her side, her husband’s son-in-law who had other children in the house, and a pair of twins, did not care about her, and the reason why she came to the nunnery was because of her wife’s rivalry with a concubine and the name of the concubine who caused her to give birth to her baby prematurely.
More and more, I felt pity for the lady.
So kind lady, but in the end, did not marry a heartwarming person, in vain, delayed their own not to mention, but also delayed the little master, Sister Zhou for a moment in grief, did not hold back, cried.
“Miss, Mrs. that time in addition to Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Ling Anbo over to ask, care about it, Mrs. Ling Anbo that time was also quarter Mrs. Tai pinch, not want to go out can go out, can only send some things over, is to give Mrs. backing up, as for the Yue’s side is because it’s too far away to take care of.”
Yue’s people in the capital, indeed, there are only these two sisters, one for Mrs. Ling Anbo, one for the second lady of the Qu House, Mrs. Ling Anbo, although a heart of love for her sister, but Mrs. Ji is not good to deal with, at that time Xiao was also in the big Yue’s heel is not stable.
Although Qu Mo Ying hadn’t experienced this, he could understand it when he thought about it.
“Miss, the old slave …… old slave doesn’t feel right.” Sister Miao, who was listening on the side, blanched and seemed to have thought of something.
“What does Sister feel is wrong?” Qu Mo Ying pursed her lips and asked.
“Madam at that time there was Lady Ling An Bo backing her up, and also the Dowager Lady, so she was not considered to be in the Master’s favor, but she was the rightful wife, and in this situation, how could the people in the nunnery dare to treat her so slowly, and now that Mrs. Yu is worse than Madam was at that time, why are the people in the nunnery treating her so kindly again?”
Sister Miao said.
Some things can’t be seen for a while without comparison, and when you compare the two, the highs and lows are obvious.
This was originally what Qu Mo Ying suspected in her mind as well, and nodded, “Sister Zhou, what do you think?”
“The people in the nunnery are very kind to Madam now?” Sister Zhou wiped her tears and asked in disbelief, she was too excited before and didn’t hear what Sister Miao said before.
Sister Miao nodded and reiterated once more, “The nunnery master will also come to accompany Lady Yu to talk and laugh.”
“That’s impossible!” Sister Zhou exclaimed.
“Why is it impossible?” Qu Mo Ying raised his eyes and asked, his eyes were deep and bottomless, as if they contained two curved deep pools, making people’s hearts unconsciously panic.
Sister Zhou squeezed her hand tightly and calmed her breath with force, “When the old slave was living in the nunnery with madam at that time, he had never seen this nunnery’s presiding nunnery, I heard that this presiding nunnery’s health is not good, in a month, most of the days in the sick, and the rest of the time is also frail, and all the affairs are in the nunnery’s control of the other female nuns.”
Qu Mo Ying looked at Sister Miao.
Sister Miao nodded affirmatively, “Miss, the old slave inquired clearly, now this is the presiding officer of the nunnery at that time, many people have seen, and have never heard that she is not in good health, and often appear in front of the people, some of the incenses that come into the nunnery, have all seen before.”
Qu Mo Ying said in a cold voice, “Sister Miao, go check on this nunnery owner again, it’s best to look into it for a longer period of time.”
Sister Zhou and Sister Miao were talking about the same nunnery master, but Qu Mo Ying sounded like two people.
If the two of them weren’t mistaken, this was bound to happen for a reason.
Sister Miao nodded her head, she also heard that there was something going on here, and after bidding farewell to Qu Mo Ying, she turned to leave.
Seeing Sister Miao leave, Sister Zhou also wiped her tears clean and excused herself to Qu Mo Ying.
Looking at Sister Zhou’s departing figure, Qu Mo Ying’s eyes were thoughtful, she always had a feeling that Sister Zhou seemed to know something else but didn’t say it out, or that Sister Zhou still had secrets in her heart, which could be seen from the fact that when Sister Zhou was most unwilling to talk about the events of that day, it could be seen.
If she hadn’t taken the initiative to mention it herself, Sister Zhou seldom mentioned her mother, seldom mentioned that past.
Is there something in there that you haven’t suspected?
Yu Dong came back first, and when he entered, he was holding a gift box in his hand, and Qu Mo Ying recognized it at once, it was clearly the gift box that was sent back before.
“Miss, this is a gift from Miss Qi for you, and there is also a thank you gift from Duke Qi inside.” Yu Dong stepped forward and reported with a smile, “It’s really a mistake.”
Said the gift box in his hand, put it on the table in front of Qu Mo Ying, reached out and opened the gift box.
Above is still the jade screen, Yu Dong let Yu Chun take away the jade screen, and picked up a few pieces of paper from underneath the jade screen and handed them to Qu Mo Ying: “Miss, this is the thanks from the Duke of Qi, saying that the jade spotted finger is an important object that can’t be thrown away, fortunately, Miss returned it, or else something big would have happened!”
“The jade screen in the gift box is Miss Qi’s from the Duke of Qi, after getting it, it was placed in her place, and has not been opened, this time I remembered this small ornament, and thought it would be nice to give it to Miss, I did not expect that there is also a jade wrench inside that the Duke of Qi has pulled off, and Miss Qi has also asked the slave girl to tell Miss that she thanks you.”
Qu Mo Ying reached out and took the pieces of paper, taking a closer look, his face changed drastically.
