Chapter 602 - 602 A gentle and kind daughter
Qu Xuexin thoughtfully refilled her tea and softly said, “Mother, what father said is also somewhat reasonable.”
“Then what about your big brother, your big brother has never begged me like this before, if that young lady really falls for another family, your big brother will resent me for the rest of his life.” Luo used a handkerchief to wipe up her tears, aggrieved.
“Mother don’t worry, I’ll persuade big brother there, it’s fine.” Qu Xuexin softly persuaded, “At this time now, you should bother more about fourth sister’s matter!”
“Troubling me for everything, I have so many other things of my own.” Luo became more and more indignant, she had always had soft ears, and by her daughter saying this, she felt more and more that Qu Mo Ying had gone a bit too far.
Because of what happened to her mother, her son was in trouble, and it wasn’t certain what would happen in the end.
“Mother, I know that you are the most virtuous, don’t bother with her, first help her finish the processing of the legal affairs before anything else, mother, I’ll be your helper, don’t get too tired.” Qu Xuexin delicately said.
“It’s still not necessary, letting your grandmother know would be another reprimand.” Luo took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, shaking her head, her daughter was still in purification, she couldn’t let her daughter go out to manage things.
“Mother don’t worry, it’s just simple needle and thread things, you’ll let the stewards of the needle and thread room come over in a while, I’ll let them make some simple things for emergencies, as for the most important ones, it’s also a trouble for mother.” Qu Xuexin was bent on thinking about Luo’s appearance.
Seeing her daughter so sweet, Luo couldn’t help but feel sad again, her own daughter, so good, why did she still have to end up in this situation.
Without Quemoy Ying …
As soon as this thought appeared, it was immediately snuffed out by Luo, although her heart was resentful, but it was not to let Qu Mo Ying in the manor is the end of the old age.
After sighing, she slowly calmed down, and after talking to her daughter for a while more sweetly and in a much better mood, Luo then led the people to leave.
The matter of the law, the dowager lady urges very urgently, Luo’s this will not have the time to keep at the daughter all the time.
Back to their own courtyard, thought carefully, and sent another granny to serve, the dowager lady, even if the matter is talked about, they also have a response, originally it is two maids together to serve the core, Bai Mei is sick, and now there is only one red plum, surely serving not over.
When Bai Mei returns later, this granny will be removed.
The steward of the needle and thread room also sent someone to call over, there is only a needle and thread room steward over, there is something for the daughter to directly command her, even if the daughter privately commanded the steward to make a few more pieces of clothing, there is no obstacle, this steward is the east side of the house, there is no relationship with the west side of the house.
Between the two houses to the West House is the main, some important, the need for the two houses together with the distribution of sewing work, are the West House side of the people in the office, Luo feel sometimes not too convenient, on the East House also set up a bit, the manpower is not as good as the West House side, just simply deal with some minimalist sewing work just.
“Miss, the Second Duke went to see the Eldest Miss last night.” When Yu Dong came in to report, Qu Mo Ying was still holding the book of miscellaneous talks brought from the Duke of Qi’s residence, reading it carefully.
She would be reading even less of the last few pages of the zither, just the usual miscellany, some local human lore, and even some notes in some places.
The handwriting is clear, like a woman’s technique, just too long, even if the collection is very good, the paper is also a little yellowed.
“How long did you stay and leave.” Qu Mingcheng secretly went to see Qu Xuexin, Qu Mo Ying was not surprised and said without lifting his head.
It’s a coincidence that things have come together over the past few days!
“Around half an hour, the second prince entered the East Mansion from the back door, the red plum by the side of the eldest young lady opened the door, and after that, he left silently, the eldest madam is bound to be unaware of it.” Yu Dong affirmed.
After Missy returned to the East Mansion, she had her people keep an eye on Missy, especially the abnormalities after nightfall.
Qu Mo Ying’s fingers pressed down on the pages of the book without flipping, his long eyelashes fluttered twice, his eyes clear and cold,”It should be related to this matter of big brother.”
“Who did the Grand Duke say he wanted to marry all of a sudden, and how is … this relevant?” Yu Dong didn’t understand her words and said in disbelief.
Qu Mo Ying’s body leaned back, there was a hint of deepness at her watery eyes, Qu Ming Cheng had fallen for which young lady, this matter had been revealed as early as when she first arrived in the capital, that time when they went out together, a lot of things had happened, but Qu Ming Hui didn’t show up until the end.
It was then that she had such a suspicion.
This big brother of hers should be accompanying other women.
Now it seems to be true. Just how did that young lady suddenly have to match with someone else and make such a big fuss about it, as if she was about to get married, and most of all at this time Qu Xuexin went back.
Everything piled up in one place makes it more than a simple coincidence.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard there was a change of heart, he couldn’t sit still.
“There’s no need to stare anymore, just be careful!” Qu Mo Ying said.
“Miss, if we don’t keep an eye on Missy and the Second Duke will surely become Demon Ezi.” Yu Dong said in disbelief, how this matter looks like these two are the ones stirring up the wind and water in it.
Qu Mo Ying shook his head, “There is no need, just these two days, even if there is something, it is also something that they have set early, the banquet before, should also be counting on me.”
“What do they want to do with Miss? Make some accident on top of the banquet?” Yu Dong giggled lightly.
“May be, so many people, and there are men and women, want to have some accidents is still very simple, especially this will be the matter of mother’s mother, only just ended, if I have some accidents … reputation not to mention, may even not be able to keep my life.” Qu Mo Ying indifferently said, as if he was not talking about himself.
With Qu Zhizhen’s character, in order to protect his own official reputation and fame, his own picked up daughter, is really nothing.
“Miss …,” Yu Dong was shocked by her cold, almost mocking words, and subconsciously whimpered.
Qu Mo Ying stretched out her slender fingers and shook them, meaning to say, “But this time … should be more than just the matter of harming my reputation …”
Yu Dong’s heart involuntarily beat wildly twice, his voice consciously lowered, “Miss, you mean …”
“You have someone keep an eye on Bai Mei outside to see what kind of people Bai Mei has come into contact with, and I’ll have Sister Miao keep an eye on things in the mansion, and it’s more convenient for Sister Miao to go to the Eastern Mansion to inquire about things than for you to do so.”
Qu Mo Ying said gently.
Sister Miao often traveled to and from the East and West Mansions, mixing well with the subordinates in the Mansion, and being a non-professional granny, she was much more inconspicuous than Yudong, the personal maid.
“Miss, slave girl knows.” Yu Dong nodded, but was still uneasy, “Miss, what if the Second Prince comes in again to discuss things with the Eldest Miss?”
“What should be discussed, should have been discussed, this will go to stare again, also not necessarily have much to gain, Bai Mei this time sick, and I heard that it is still … smallpox, this is very suspicious.” Qu Mo Ying slowly said.
If you do not want people to know, Sister Miao will not see, since Sister Miao saw, the West House to the East House so a section of the road, see the people should be quite a lot, even if we can not guess for a while, but privately all kinds of sayings are said, and now there are also hidden people guessing that it is smallpox.
To be able to create such a buzz in the house and look like it had nothing to do with you.
Qu Mo Ying himself is out of smallpox, that time is still small, her body is also still good, she would not like to talk, only like to daze, sitting quietly for a day without talking, but also do not feel the idea of talking, quiet, and a small one, both then uncomfortable, but also can be quiet down.
In the end the smallpox not only passed, but left no scars at all, and was the reason her quiet nature wouldn’t reach out and pick at those scars.
This matter was reported to the Yu’s face, but Yu’s did not care, only returned a sentence, let her well nourished, and then even no longer send people to ask about, and so Qu Mo Ying completely well, to report a report, only got Yu’s a “well on it!”
After that, there were no other words, nor half a bit of appeasement, Qu Mo Ying can be sure that this matter Yu will not talk about it with the dowager lady.
If she died at that time, she was bound to push things onto the people who served her, only saying that she did not know, if she did not die, disfigured, for her, it is also no hindrance, as for her own life, nothing hindered to survive, probably Yu did not think of it.
This is something that Yu will not publicize, and the people in the mansion will not know about it.
“I was out of smallpox.” Qu Mo Ying said faintly.
Yu Dong was stunned, but then understood and hurriedly said, “Miss don’t worry, the slave girl is also out.”
“That would be best!” Qu Mo Ying nodded, no matter what Qu Xuexin and Qu Mingcheng had in mind, she had a feeling that this smallpox matter would be an extremely important cause.
Qu Xuexin was not easy to come out, she definitely would not let go of such a simple opportunity, she was only temporarily going back to the East Mansion, not really going back, she was bound to be reluctant to go back for just a little bit of time.
“Miss, the Eastern Palace has sent someone.” Yu Chun lifted the curtain from outside and walked in.
In the Eastern Palace, Qu Mo Ying’s willow brows knitted slightly, “Where are the people?”
“It’s just outside in the courtyard, the Dowager Lady sent someone to bring it over.” Yu Chun said.
“Invite the people in!” Qu Mo Ying said.
Yu Chun went out and came back in with a granny and two maids, the two maids had gift boxes in their hands, they had come to deliver gifts.
The grannies from the Eastern Palace were also very polite, and when they saw Qu Mo Ying with a mouthful of Fourth Miss Qu, they smiled with a smile and a respectful demeanor.
“You were sent by the Ji side consort?” Qu Mo Ying asked after listening to her finish her coming.
“Yes, our Lady Side Consort has heard that your house is going to give Second Lady Qu a ceremony, and also wanted to come over to pay her respects once for the Crown Princess, and ask Fourth Miss Qu if there are any aspects that need to be avoided?” The granny laughed, her words especially polite.
Giving face to the Quo Vadis.
Instead of the Crown Princess, instead of Ji Hanyue? Qu Mo Ying heart cold smile, Ji You Ran at all times pulling Ji Han Yue, anything put Ji Han Yue in front, look seems to be extremely respectful to Ji Han Yue, but the truth?
It’s about using up every last ounce of your worth …
