Mrs. He did not expect Granny Yan to say so. Her face darkened, and she snorted, “Even so, you won’t stop Fourth Lady Qu from seeing guests, right?”

Granny Yan said indifferently, “Of course not. However, you have to wait for a while. Fourth Lady Qu will finish playing soon, and we can’t interrupt her at this time. Even if the ex-Crown Princess has passed away, we should still respect her.”

Mrs. He took a deep breath. Once again, she had no choice but to suppress her anger. She didn’t walk forward but waited restlessly.

Finally, the music stopped. Mrs. He glared at Granny Yan and walked up.

Granny Yan stepped aside and did not stop her.

“Mrs. He, our lady knows you are here and she invites you in!” Yu Dong walked out with a smile on his face and respectfully gave way to Mrs. He.

Granny Yan did not follow them in but went to the wing room aside.

Mrs. He snorted and followed Yu Dong inside.

When she entered the room, she saw Qu Moying sitting in the middle. There was a qin placed in front of the table, which should be the qin that Qu Moying had just played. The room was filled with the scent of incense, and three sticks of incense were still lit.

Seeing Mrs. He come in, Qu Moying stood up and gave Mrs. He a decent bow. Then, she stood up and gestured to the side. “Mrs. He, please sit!”

Mrs. He angrily sat down on a chair on the side. She looked at Qu Moying, who was still wearing an eye veil and looked extremely gentle.

After serving the tea, Yu Chun stepped aside.

“Fourth Lady Qu, I heard that you are not willing to marry into our mansion.” Mrs. He snorted. She did not intend to drink tea. She had come here in anger, and she had decided to point at Qu Moying in the nose and scold her when she saw her, but she couldn’t do it now.

However, she still spoke bluntly.

Qu Moying took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. She smiled and asked calmly, “Mrs. He, where did you hear that?”

Mrs. He said impatiently, “You don’t need to know where I heard this. Just say yes or no.”

Qu Moying smiled meaningfully and said, “Actually, what I think doesn’t really matter.”

“What do you mean?” Mrs. He’s face darkened.

“Mrs. He, you came from Third Sister’s place, right? Didn’t Third Sister tell you that I have someone who serves the Dowager Consort here?” Qu Moying didn’t answer her question but asked her a question instead.

This question made Mrs. He’s heart skip a beat. She had been very unhappy when she waited outside just now. When she was at Qu Qiuyan’s place just now, Qu Qiuyan did not mention anything about the Dowager Consort’s palace servant, nor did she mention that the palace servant was now living at Qu Moying’s place.

If she had known it at that time, she would have definitely thought it over and would not have come over so impulsively. But now, she was in an awkward situation.

She had calmed down a lot.

Qu Moying continued to ask with a smile, “She didn’t tell you about Granny Yan, nor did she tell you about my marriage arrangement, right?”

She asked gently, but Mrs. He’s face changed slightly as she heard her words.

Mrs. He’s eyes widened, “Can’t others propose a marriage to you casually?”

“Of course not. I didn’t know about it when Grandmother asked me to take a look. But at that time, my Eldest Sister was the one who saw Third Young Master He, and also the one who bumped into him later. It has nothing to do with me. As for my marriage…”

Qu Moying raised her eyebrows and continued, “Since you have seen Granny Yan, don’t you realize it yet?”

When she was with Pei Yuanjun in the palace, she knew that this matter would definitely be made public, so she didn’t hide it at this time and said to Mrs. He pointedly.

The palace had sent a Discipline Granny over, and the Discipline Granny even lived in Qu Mansion. She even brought Qu Moying into the palace without reporting. Thinking of this and Noble Consort He’s words and expression at that time, Mrs. He suddenly understood, and her face immediately turned pale and terrible.

Did this mean that Qu Moying was going to enter the palace or marry a prince? Otherwise, there would not be such a big scene!

Mrs. He’s hands trembled on the table. She had never expected this because she thought Qu Moying’s conditions were too poor to match even her son. However, she knew that if her son married someone powerful, they might end up in a mess in the future. Therefore, she thought her son had better marry someone weak so that he could decide the other party’s life and death.

“You… you…” Mrs. He’s lips were dry, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment. She recalled Noble Consort He’s words and knew that Qu Moying’s fiance was clearly not an ordinary person.

“Mrs. He, the marriage was proposed by Madam Li. I objected to it at that time, but Grandmother still wanted me to have a look. She also felt it was not a good idea later, so she asked my Eldest Sister to take a look. After that, my Eldest Sister met Third Young Master He in private. Mrs. He, if you don’t believe it, you can ask Grandmother to investigate it. I don’t know why this matter involves me now.”

Qu Moying said sincerely and calmly.

Although she looked fragile with the eye veil, she still made people feel that she was calm and fearless.

It seemed that the one who was on the blind date with her son was First Lady Qu but not Fourth Lady Qu because the latter had been engaged with someone in the palace whom she couldn’t afford to offend. But why did her son tell her that the one he liked was Fourth Lady Qu and that he wanted to marry her?

Qu Qiuyan also told her that Qu Moying had taken a fancy to her son before, but after her son’s matter was exposed, Qu Moying went to Vice Minister Qu to cry that she would not marry such a dandy because the marriage had not been settled and that the man would die a horrible death…

Hearing Qu Qiuyan’s words, Mrs. He was so angry that she almost fainted. Then, she angrily came to pick a fight with Qu Moying with the decision that she must have Qu Moying be her “daughter-in-law”!

However, this matter had nothing to do with Qu Moying at all.

What did Madam Li mean? Did she not know that Qu Moying had been engaged with someone, or did she do it on purpose just to plot against He Mansion?

If Madam Li did it on purpose, she would not let her off.

Since Madam Li was so shrewd, she believed that she must have known something.

Mrs. He thought that Madam Li did it on purpose just to have a good laugh at He Mansion. Fortunately, it didn’t go as Madam Li wished. Otherwise, He Mansion would not be able to get away with it.

Mrs. He knew that although she was from Noble Consort He’s parents’ family, there were very few talented or powerful people in the family. Her youngest son used to be the most promising one, but it didn’t seem to be the case now. He didn’t stand any chance when confronting the princes and the powerful lords.

At this time, her youngest son was put into West Prison. She couldn’t afford to offend the royal family member whom Qu Moying was going to marry at such a time because he might have a close relationship with Lord Yun.

Since even Noble Consort He was somewhat afraid of Qu Moying’s fiance, he must have some power.

It seemed that Qu Qiuyan and Madam Li made her suffer all these.

Thinking of this, Mrs. He suddenly stood up. She couldn’t stay any longer. She gritted her teeth and said, “Fourth Lady Qu, since you’ve made it clear, I won’t waste your time.”

“Farewell, Madam!” Qu Moying smiled and stood up. She politely sent Mrs. He to the door and bowed to her, which was perfectly in line with the etiquette.

If Qu Moying was to marry her son, Mrs. He would think that she was impolite no matter what she did. But now that she knew Qu Moying was to marry someone in the palace, she thought Qu Moying was really elegant and was totally different from what Qu Qiuyan had said about her.

At this point, Mrs. He naturally knew that she was made use of by Qu Qiuyan.

She now became angry with Qu Qiuyan.

After leaving Qianyue House, she stood outside the yard for a while before heading towards Qu Qiuyan’s Furong House. Even if she couldn’t do anything to retaliate Qu Qiuyan, she had to at least ask her clearly. She couldn’t swallow her anger and return to He Mansion without questioning Qu Qiuyan.

As for Qu Moying’s words that the one who took a fancy to He Dayu was First Lady Qu, Mrs. He did not take them to heart at all.

As soon as Mrs. He left, Granny Miao quickly followed her from afar to watch the fun. Of course, she also saw a young maid of Qu Qiuyan run away in a hurry.

The young maid ran so fast that she almost fell down and bumped into a tree beside her. She made such a loud noise that Mrs. He and her maids noticed her, which made her even more panicked that she dared not turn around but trotted away.

She ran in the same direction as Mrs. He was heading.

Mrs. He was so angry that her face turned livid. She thought Qu Qiuyan was indeed not a good person. After egging her on, Qu Qiuyan even sent her maid to watch the show. Needless to say, this maid was sent by Qu Qiuyan.

She decided to tell Noble Consort He that Qu Qiuyan was not a good person the next time she entered the palace, and she would also tell Lord Jing.

Sitting in the room, Qu Qiuyan was drinking tea and waiting for the maid she sent to come back and tell her about the fun. Mrs. He was hot-tempered, and she must be quarreling in Qianyue House now. Thinking of this, Qu Qiuyan couldn’t help feeling complacent as she sneered.

She hoped this matter could be escalated. The more serious, the better. If Mrs. He insisted on letting Qu Moying marry into He Mansion, it would be the best. In that case, if He Dayu died, Qu Moying would have to be a widow in He Mansion. She would be really happy if that happened.

After getting rid of Qu Moying, her brother would not need to bother anymore. Her mother would be freed, and she would be the wife-born daughter of Qu Mansion. No one would mention that her mother was once a concubine.

Everything would be solved perfectly!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but laugh.

The young maid hurriedly came in to report, “Lady, Mrs. He is coming to you!”

Qu Qiuyan was stunned. After a moment, she asked, “What?”

“Lady, Mrs. He is coming over. She didn’t cause trouble in Fourth Lady’s place. It seems that she is here to make trouble for you.” The maid said. She saw Mrs. He heading towards Qu Qiuyan’s yard with an angry face from afar, which was why she turned around and ran.

A flustered old maid came in to report, “Third Lady, Mrs. He is here again!”
