“Good to see you, First Master Ji!” Yue Wenhan bowed back and said frigidly, “I received a message from your family saying that my uncle suddenly passed away. So, I came here to see if you need any help. Please don’t mind me if I’ve done anything inappropriate!”“That’s very kind of you, Mr. Yue. Please follow me inside.” Ji Yong’an cast a glance at the carriage next to Yue Wenhan, wondering who was inside. Yue Wenhan hadn’t married yet, so he had no idea who it could be. But it was not the right time to ask now.Ji Yong’an led Yue Wenhan into the gate in person and accompanied him to the place where the carriages parked. Then he saw Qu Moying getting off the carriage and was stunned for a moment.Qu Moying’s outfit was different than ordinary people’s. The long veil on her face could let people immediately figure out her identity. Even for people who had never seen her before, they could tell who she was right away.Qu Moyi

The only place in the Earl Ling’an’s Mansion that nobody was allowed to visit today was the Crown Princess’s old yard. The Second Madam had warned every servant that they couldn’t take anyone around that place since the Crown Prince would be there. If anyone disturbed the Crown Prince, the whole Ji Family would be blamed for it.Moreover, the Crown Prince’s presence in the Earl Ling’an’s Mansion could not be known by any outsiders. Because he shouldn’t show up here. Knowing the severity of the situation, the old maid started to sweat as her lips kept trembling. She was so scared by Fourth Lady Qu’s intention and didn’t even know how to stop her at the moment.She finally realized that weak as Fourth Lady Qu looked, she was not as obedient to the rules of etiquette as other noble ladies.An ordinary servant like her was not able to stop this determined lady, let alone under the glare of another maid who looked fierce. The old maid even ha

Yue Wenhan and Ji Yong’an showed up nearby. Yue Wenhan was walking in front, and his cold gaze fell on Xiao’s face, sending a cold shiver down her spine. This one was not a weak girl like Qu Moying but the real vice minister of the Dali Temple, who had solved many cases and sentenced many people to death. Thinking about Yue Wenhan’s background, Xiao couldn’t suppress the fear in her heart.No matter how tough Xiao was in front of Qu Moying, she was still a female and didn’t have the guts to confront a person like Yue Wenhan.She threw a stern glare at Ji Yong’an, following behind Yue Wenhan, and cursed him inwardly for bringing Yue Wenhan here. How could Ji Yong’an bring a male to the inner yard?Ji Yong’an had his own difficulty. Since Yue Wenhan tried every means to meet Ji Yongming for the last time after he entered the mansion, Ji Yong’an had no other choice but to bring him here. Ji Yongming’s body was not even here. How could they

Pei Yusheng walked in through the door.He noticed the curtain splitting the room into two parts and politely stopped in front of it. Through the curtain, he could see a female’s ambiguous figure curtsying to him. Then his gaze fell on Chun Xiu, standing aside, and realized Lady Liu was behind the curtain. A faint smile showed up on his face.“A pleasure to meet you, Your Royal Highness,” the female voice sounded soft but a bit low.“Same for me, Lady Liu. I heard you are here and came in a hurry. Please forgive me for any inconvenience I may cause you,” Pei Yusheng said politely.“Not at all, Your Royal Highness,” Qu Moying said softly.Pei Yusheng sat down on a chair aside naturally and looked at the curtain. It was not thick, but the light behind it didn’t seem to be enough. He could only see a vague female figure with a veiled hat. Of course, he couldn’t see her face at all.“I’ve been to your m

Qu Moying got up in the early morning the next day. After washing up and eating some congee, she headed to the Old Lady’s yard with Yu Dong and Yu Chun.People from the East Mansion had already arrived. Qu Moying saw Luo sitting aside with Qu Xuexin and Qu Caiyue.Qu Moying curtsied to the Old Lady and seated herself. Then she looked up at Qu Caiyue, who so happened to sit opposite to her. They hadn’t seen each other for a while, and surprisingly, Qu Caiyue seemed like a different person. She acted more discreetly, sitting there in silence with her head lowered.Feeling Qu Moying’s gaze, Qu Caiyue lifted her head, threw her a stern glare, and lowered her head again.Confused by her reaction, Qu Moying moved her eyes away.Today they would go to mourn for Earl Ling’an. The only one missing was Qu Qiuyan now.After the Old Lady sent people to urge Qu Qiuyan several times, she finally showed up in the
