Chapter 490 - 490 The Jade Trigger Finger among the Gifts
Reborn to Be A Noble Wife
âYour Highness, didnât the last incident end? Why do you still need to send gifts to the Qu Mansion? Itâs not that Iâm heartbroken about a few gift-giving dollars, but this repeated giving is making us look weak-minded and bad for Jingyu.â Mrs. Duke of Qi looked at Duke of Qi with displeasure.
Last night, the Duke of Qi did not sleep well, most of the night is still turning over and over, this morning, they have not yet finished freshening up, he suddenly raised such a meaning, Mrs. Duke of Qi, although she felt that the Qu Mo Ying fit the eye, but then again, it is not possible to be stronger than their own granddaughter to go.
âEvery time I see her, I always think of â¦â¦ that â¦â¦ child of ours.â The Duke of Qi sighed and his complexion darkened.
Lady Duke of Qiâs face also showed a few shades of sadness.
They had another daughter before, but she got sick and died at the age of one, so Liu Shangshuâs daughter was only the second daughter of the two of them.
âDuke of State, this young lady of the Qu Mansion â¦â¦ doesnât actually look like, how could you think so?â Things have passed for a long time, although it is sad to think about it, but it is not so bad that it loses its common sense judgment, Mrs. Duke of Qi also sighed and said, she is actually really donât understand why the Duke of State is so good to this Qu Houseâs fourth young lady, it seems to be thinking about her in every way as if she is thinking about her.
âDuke of State, the previous matter has already passed, Jingyuâs father also brought Jingyu to the door to apologize, and there is King Jingâs meaning in it, the fourth miss of the Qu House did not cause any harm, and the one who suffered a loss was instead the ill-intentioned third miss of the Qu House, and at the moment, both houses have no intention of pursuing the matter, and if you are so repeated to the door to send a gift, it will cause people to be suspicious. â
Mrs. Duke Qi advised again.
The Duke of Qi was silent for a moment, then said, âPreviously, I intended to have Xiu Ran marry this Fourth Miss Qu to make up for it, but the Qu Mansionâs side of the family didnât seem to be that willing.â
âDuke of State, Xiuranâs marriage is better to let his parents make their own decisions, after all, we are only grandparents, separated by a layer, and Xiuranâs status is not ordinary, in the future it is going to bear the title, it is always not possible to marry a young lady with an eye disease, right?â Mrs. Duke of Qi politely advised.
Itâs something that she actually doesnât support!
Since the grandson is a promising, family history and good, and not the kind of playboy, there are many people over to inquire, but they are just a moment to pick the eyes, did not set down just, really let him marry the Qu Squireâs house of the woman who lost her mother, Mrs. Duke of Qi is always reluctant to do so.
That boy is no better than his own grandson.
âWhere Xiu Ranâs parents are, I will go and talk, it is the Qu Mansionâs side that refused, I donât know what the reason is, this is clearly a good marriage, and Xiu Ran is a good child.â Qi Guo Gongâs frown became tighter and tighter.
Mrs. Duke of Qiâs wife became displeased and her face pulled down, âDuke of Qi, Xiu Ran is only our familyâs child, how can you be so bent on thinking of the Qu familyâs child? How can a family like ours marry a young lady who has an eye disease and has not had a birth mother to carefully teach her on the side since childhood â¦â¦â
Mrs. Duke of Qiâs meaning is very clear, even if Qu Mo Ying looks smart and not stupid, mannerisms are also generous, but ultimately less of the birth motherâs teaching, in many things above the limited insight, how to preside over such a large family of things in the future, when the mother of the house pattern is small, weak eyesight, for the whole family is not a good thing.
She didnât mean to contradict Qu Mo Ying, she just stated the matter.
However, this statement, but let the Duke of Qi is very unhappy, the hands of the tea heavily smashed on the coffee table, scared the Duke of Qiâs wife immediately stopped his mouth, stunned look at the Duke of Qi, she did not expect just such a sentence, the Duke of Qi also angry, think about this sentence, she did not have half a point of error.
âYou still leave a little mouth, lost mother long daughter, lost mother long daughter, lost mother and not her fault, her mother â¦â¦ her mother â¦â¦â Qi Guo Gong eyes some red, but afraid Qi Guo Gong Mrs. found, suddenly stood up, âher mother is also a poor person, if not she passed away early, I recognized her as a daughter in the beginning.â
After saying that, he turned around and walked away, walking extremely fast, as if he was hiding something.
Leaving behind Mrs. Duke of Qiâs exasperation, she glared fiercely at the Duke of Qiâs back in annoyance.
âMadam, donât be angry, the Duke of State is kind, and for the sake of the deceased, he is not willing to bring up the matter of Fourth Miss Quâs birth mother having passed away.â A granny saw that Mrs. Duke of Qiâs eyes were also red with anger, and hurriedly came over to advise.
âWhat did I say? Didnât I just say that Fourth Miss Quâs birth mother died early, and without her birth motherâs upbringing, she is much weaker than the other young ladies, is that wrong?â Mrs. Duke of Qi was furious and said in an annoyed voice.
âYour Ladyship, the Duke of State is such a nostalgic person, itâs not like you donât know.â The granny accompanied with a smile and added.
âI know that he is sentimental, very old, in order to remember the old sometimes loss of their own also willing to do, but now this is not a person of his thing, is Xiu Ranâs affinity, he this when the grandfatherâs strong meddling even if, but also picked such a, pro-grandsonâs affinity, also can be used as an old love, sent out of it!â
Mrs. Duke of Qi thought more and more angry, hand heavy on the table a beat, just feel the heart of the sudden jump, the more you think the more you think there is something in it, definitely not the state of the past days of the master, it is difficult to not the state of the master to hide their own what is not?
âWhat, the Duke of Qiâs residence sent another gift over, itâs Miss Qiâs gift?â Qu Mo Ying turned her head in surprise to look at the gift box on the table.
Recently, the gifts sent by the Duke of Qiâs house were a bit too much, even if it was to accompany the matter of Liu Jingyu for a period of time.
âSaid the last time with the fourth miss said a lot of talk, let the fourth miss can go to see her when she is fine, originally she is idle in the house, without a close sister around.â Yu Dong said, âGrandma Wu also said that the meaning of the dowager lady, let you also move around more with the Duke of Qiâs residence.â
Qu Mo Ying stood up, walked to the gift box and looked at it, it was a jade insertion screen, it looked very small and beautiful, it was also a girlâs familyâs thing when counting, it was not very expensive, but it was also very fitting.
Qu Mo Ying reached out and picked it up, but was shocked to see that there was something else underneath, Yu Dong also saw it and hurriedly took it over for her, and was shocked to find that it was actually a wrench, and looking at the size of this plate finger, it was not like Qi Xiangyu could use it, and it was a manâs plate finger.
And it is also a board finger that has been used all the time, the jade on it is polished and translucent, the jade color is extremely good at a glance, and the water head is extremely bright, although there is also jade on the top of the jade screen, this jade is not at the same level as the jade of this jade board finger at all.
âWhere are the people from the Duke of Qiâs residence?â Qu Mo Ying looked up and asked after freezing for a moment.
âWhen the slave girl went over, the people from the Duke of Qiâs mansion were gone, the Dowager Empress asked the slave girl to give the gift to Xiaoda over, and also said that in the future, the gifts sent by Ms. Qi can be sent directly to the Shallow Moon Residence, so thereâs no need to turn around a little bit more to her.â Yu Dong said, when she went over, she didnât see the people from the Duke of Qiâs mansion, she thought that they had left early.
âYu Dong, you go to the Duke of Qiâs residence, send this gift box back and ask Miss Qi if sheâs mistaken.â Qu Mo Ying pondered for a moment and said, the jade plate finger and jade screen in his hands were put back, this jade plate finger did not look like something Qi Xiangyu would send over anyhow.
After touching it carefully, she blushed slightly!
Such a board finger, Qu Mo Ying has seen similar ones before, seems to be related to the military, the last life when dad had one in his hands, once he also saw him in the meticulous wipe, at that time he also casually asked more, dad said that girls do not need to ask such things, this is the special case in the military.
I didnât look closely at the time, but the one at hand looked like it.
âYes, slave girl will make a trip now.â Yu Dong nodded her head in response and reclosed the gift box before she hurriedly turned to leave.
âMiss, the Duke of Qi would send the wrong thing?â Yu Chun looked at Yu Dongâs departing back without knowing why and asked unconsciously.
The gift sent by the eldest lady of the Duke of Qiâs residence, shouldnât it have been checked by someone? How could there be such a big mistake, no matter how you look at it, it shouldnât be something that this kind of powerful family did.
Qu Mo Ying thoughtfully looked at the back of Yu Dong left to, willow eyebrows slightly knit, she is actually also very strange, this thing looks like careless, but such carelessness is almost impossible to exist, the big families, send gifts to view very carefully, for fear that there is a little bit of a small error, may cause something to come.
Even giving the wrong gift can sometimes be drawn out to make a big deal out of it.
Was Qi Xiangyu really careless, or was there another reason?
âMiss, the old slave is back!â Sister Miaoâs voice suddenly came from outside the curtain, Qu Mo Ying nodded, Yu Chun hurriedly went over and lifted the curtain, and Sister Miao walked in.
âMiss, Mrs. Yu is living a good life there, the old slave saw Hailan beside Mrs. Yu, talking and laughing with the female nuns in the nunnery, looking at it is much happier than in the mansion, Mrs. Yu also goes out from time to time to sunbathe in the sun, although her legs and feet are not very good, but looking at the appearance, it seems to be good.â
Sister Miao as soon as she entered the door, reported to Qu Mo Ying, she often excuses these days to go out of the house, but went to monitor the Yuâs to go, when the Qu Mo Ying deliberately let the Dowager Empress Yuâs also sent to the nunnery to go, is the existence of the heart to want to check out the things of the year.
Back then, Yu had sent someone to frighten her mother, causing her mother to go into premature labor, which was followed by a difficult delivery, and after she managed to give birth to herself, her own life was not saved.
And then Yu was promoted from a noble concubine to a full-fledged wife. If nothing had happened to her mother at that time, would Yu have been willing to be a concubine, and the two sons and daughters she gave birth to have been willing to be commoners?
At this point, from the beginning of understanding Yuâs ruthlessness, Qu Mo Ying understood that Yu was absolutely impossible to let her mother live, so how is she so sure that her mother will definitely die in this matter, even if she is accidentally rushed, she will not necessarily die in difficult labor, is there any inevitable connection between them?
In the mansion, Yu was locked up, looking like a good thing, but it also made all of Yuâs previous connections cut off, Qu Mo Ying wanted to find out the truth, it was very difficult!
Then put Yu out there, thatâs how you lure the fish to the bait â¦â¦
