“Her Majesty will soon start to pick the next Crown Princess among the noble ladies!” There were only a few words on the note. After making sure Ming Xian’er saw them clearly, Qu Moying put back the piece of paper and nodded at her. Then she turned around and walked to the side door connecting the altar room.She wouldn’t support Ming Xian’er’s unrealistic plan, but she would still offer her a way out to ease her worry.Hearing her footsteps, the maid outside hurriedly hid.Then she saw Qu Moying show up at the side door with her two maids, without Ming Xian’er.Qu Moying entered the altar room again and bowed to the coffin. Then she left with her two maids.After seeing her hint, Ming Xian’er should know what to do as a smart girl. Ji Youran must think she was only one step away from the official hostess of the Eastern Palace, so did many people. After all, she married the Crown Prince because of the Crown Prin

Both of them stopped from a distance.After a short pause, Qu Moying walked up, curtsied to Qu Qiuyan, and left with Yu Chun immediately. Qu Qiuyan gazed at her coldly but didn’t lose her temper this time.It took her a while to actually hold back her anger. She had already realized she underestimated her stepsister before, and she couldn’t let her guard down again. Right now, she finally received a message from Lord Jing. It was not the time to start another fight with Qu Moying. Qu Qiuyan’s priority was power now, or all her hard work would become in vain.After a few steps, Yu Chun made sure that no one was around. Then she looked back and asked in shock, “My lady, how come the Third Lady has such a good temper today?”Qu Qiuyan and her maid were long gone.“She is occupied with other things and doesn’t have time to deal with me right now,” said Qu Moying in a flat tone. Qu Qiuyan had to pass Lord Jing’s test

“Ying, Yu has been ill recently, and her situation seems pretty serious. I wanted to lock her up in the family temple and tell the outsiders that she was sick, but I didn’t expect her to really fall ill. I want to let you and Yan manage the family affairs together. What do you think about it?”“She’s really sick?” Qu Moying lifted her head and asked.Judging by Yu’s personality, Qu Moying knew she wouldn’t give up like this. For Yu, the best way to get around with the situation was to take a step back. If Yu was too sick to even get off the bed, people couldn’t really do anything to her. This was what Qu Moying thought before.Right now, what the Old Lady said seemed to be quite different than her expectation.“It’s true. Even the Imperial Doctor we invited from the royal palace said it would be hard to treat her,” the Old Lady nodded with a sullen face.It was not that easy to bribe the Imperial Doctors, which

No one knew better than Qu Moying about Yu and her daughter’s hatred for her. Since that fire they set, they couldn’t tolerate her existence anymore.There was nothing she could change, so why would she be afraid of it? Or to say, her fear had no influence on the result. Her rebirth already meant the start of this path, stained by blood. The smile on her face contained anger and indifference that she usually wouldn’t show. Maybe the dark night or something else made her stop covering her real emotions with calmness.Her words carried a trace of disdain and horrifying coldness. Still, the toughness she showed surprisingly made her look more pitiful.After all, she was just a fourteen-year-old powerless girl, but what she had been through gave her tremendous anger, coldness, and even a spirit of rebellion. For the first time, Pei Yuanjun took a close look at this girl in front of him. He always knew she had a good appearance, looking weak

“The Crown Princess is dead. Earl Ling’an is dead. Now that blind girl has no one to rely on. Hahaha...” Yu’s laugh sounded restrained but mad.Qu Qiuyan frowned at her and pulled a long face. “Mother, this is not the focus. We have to prove Qu Qiuyan is a fake and show her true colors to everyone.”“She’s not a fake. She is the real Qu Moying, definitely the real one,” Yu stopped laughing and said while panting heavily. “Mother, you lost your mind because of the sickness. You said she was a fake one before.”Annoyed by her mother’s absurd words, Qu Qiuyan raised her voice.When she told Yu about her suspicions, Yu agreed with her and even let her tell Lord Jing about it to blame what happened in the Eastern Palace on Qu Moying. But right now, Yu changed her words and said that girl was the real Qu Moying. Yu’s inconsistent behavior irritated Qu Qiuyan.Right now, she was almost convinced that the current Qu Moy
