Chapter 65: Leaving Moxuan's Hope
What are you here to do? Li Moxuan seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, drenched from head to toe.
Fang Cai heard the sound of the courtyard door opening, and Li Moxuan thought it was Yun Chuhan coming. She was overjoyed and ran out as fast as she could. She thought that Yun Chuhan finally remembered her and came to relieve her grounding.
Unexpectedly, real life gave Li Moxuan a heavy blow. Qu Lingxue's appearance made her eyes, which were originally full of joy, suddenly dim, and there was no trace of brilliance.
Qu Lingxue originally expected that Li Moxuan must be like this. Plainly dressed, emaciated, sallow-faced, dull-eyed, and disheveled.
Looking at Li Moxuan's embarrassed appearance, Qu Lingxue remembered the time when she was the most down.
At that time, Qu Lingxue was not as good as the third-class maid beside Moxuan. However, she didn't let herself live in such a mess.
There is no beautiful dress, she dresses plainly but neatly. She doesn't have a good look, so she cleans her cheeks well, and often picks some flowers and plants to put in the washing water. Without delicate hair accessories, she would also comb her hair well.
Because at that time, apart from wanting to see Yun Muqing, Qu Lingxue had nothing else to ask for. She didn't care that she was indifferent to Yun Chuhan, and she didn't care that her subordinates looked down on her.
However, Qu Lingxue didn't know if she would become the same as Li Moxuan if she returned to that situation again. Without the support of love and the expectation of her sweetheart, she may be more embarrassed than Moxuan.
Thinking of this, Qu Lingxue couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Li Moxuan heard Qu Lingxue's sigh, and when she saw her looking at herself with sympathetic eyes, the suppressed anger in her heart couldn't help but erupt.
"I don't need your pity! I am a dignified concubine, the prime minister's daughter! You are a woman from a small family, you are not qualified to look down on me! The prince asked you to take care of the house, so what! Isn't it back for a long time? Your good days are over! Li Moxuan roared exhaustively, her body trembling slightly, with anger and more sadness.
Seeing Li Moxuan's appearance, Qu Lingxue smiled slightly, with a mocking expression on her face: "I don't care if I don't care if I don't care about my family." As the concubine of the prince, I only hope that the prince and the princess can be healthy, and I hope that they will be harmonious and beautiful. Because only if they are good, the Chu Wangfu can prosper. β
Hearing Qu Lingxue's words, Li Moxuan raised her head and laughed, and she couldn't stop laughing.
"Miss, Miss!" Jiu'er pulled Mo Xuan's sleeve.
Li Moxuan didn't stop because of this, and continued to laugh.
Jing Lan didn't come out, she watched all this coldly through the window outside the house. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she immediately walked to the table, took out paper and pen, quickly sharpened a little ink with the inkstone, and then wrote something.
Li Moxuan continued to smile, looking hideous. The hair is more messy and looks like a madman.
Qu Lingxue put away her smile and looked at Li Moxuan calmly.
After a while, Li Moxuan suddenly coughed.
"Miss, don't laugh!" Jiu'er was about to cry in a hurry, and she gently patted Li Moxuan on the back.
Li Moxuan coughed and glared at Qu Lingxue.
Jiu'er suddenly knelt down: "Qu Ruren, our young lady has no grudge against you in the past, and no grudge in the near future." Now that Miss has fallen out of favor and will not pose a threat to anyone, please help Miss! The Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife are grateful to you! β
"Get up, I'm not here to see your jokes." Qu Lingxue said.
"If the widow doesn't agree, the slave won't get up!" Jiu'er looked at Qu Lingxue expectantly.
Unexpectedly, Qu Lingxue readily agreed: "Okay, I promise you." I will do my best, but how to decide is still up to the prince. After all, although I am a housekeeper, now the prince only cares about the princess. β
"Thank you!" Jiu'er kowtowed three times and stood up.
Listening to Qu Lingxue's words, a trace of joy flashed in Limoxuan's eyes, but it was more suspicious.
"Are you really willing to help me?" Li Moxuan asked.
Qu Lingxue nodded: "I will try my best to persuade the prince to relieve your grounding, and eat and wear as usual." First, you and I have no grievances. Second, you have been grounded for so long, and the prince's anger should also disappear. You used to love each other so much, it is impossible not to have a trace of old love. Also, I think what Jiu'er said makes sense. If I can sell a favor to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I won't suffer. Maybe one day in the future, I'll be worse off than a maid, and you can help me. β
"What a good one without grievances and no hatred", Li Moxuan's eyes softened a lot, "If you can save me, you will be my own sister." I will definitely repay you well. β
Qu Lingxue smiled slightly: "What do I want in return, I just hope that you will not do anything to make the prince angry in the future." The prince is on an expedition, and in the time before he returns, I will ask the dining room to bring you some nourishing meals. Take care of your body. I'll ask someone to bring you rouge gouache too. Wait until the prince comes back and lifts your grounding. When the time comes, let the prince see that you are as beautiful and moving as ever. β
After speaking, Qu Lingxue walked up to Li Moxuan and gently stroked the messy hair on her forehead
"In the future, I won't be crooked anymore, and I won't be jealous of others anymore." Li Moxuan said obediently.
"We serve a husband together, and we are sisters in the first place. How nice it would be to be a harmonious family. Qu Lingxue's eyes were gentle.
Su Xin walked over and said to Qu Lingxue, "Ruren, it's time to go back and drink medicine." β
Qu Lingxue held Li Moxuan's hand and said, "You're okay, I'll come to see you another day." β
Li Moxuan nodded.
Qu Lingxue turned to leave, and Fang Cai's gentle gaze became fierce, revealing a sense of indifference.
The corners of Limoxuan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
At this moment, Jinglan rushed over from the house, she ran to Qu Lingxue's side, grabbed her hand, and knelt down with a "plop".
"My son, our young lady is much better now. I'm angry just because I haven't seen anyone else for a long time! Please, don't blame! β
Qu Lingxue was taken aback, but she quickly calmed down.
"I understand, don't worry, I won't go to my heart." After speaking, Qu Lingxue withdrew her hand and continued to walk forward.
Su Xin glared at Jinglan with disgust. However, because Qu Lingxue was not annoyed, she could only give up and not worry about Jinglan.
Walking out of the Chunlai Courtyard, the guards closed the door and closed the heavy locks.
"Miss, this Jinglan is really slippery. Seeing that Li Moxuan was expected to come out, he ran out of it! Su Xin said indignantly.
Qu Lingxue didn't speak and continued to walk forward.
"Miss wasn't scared just now, was she?" Su Xin asked.
"I'm fine." Qu Lingxue said lightly.
Walking to a place where no one was around, Qu Lingxue stopped. She held out her hand, and there was a note inside.
"Miss, where did you come from?" Su Xin asked in surprise.
"Jinglan handed it to me just now." Qu Lingxue recalled the affection of Jing Lansai when she gave her the note, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Su Xin looked at the note and said curiously, "Miss, what kind of heart is this Jinglan?" β
Qu Lingxue smiled slightly, looked at Su Xin, and said, "Guess what is written on this note?" β
Su Xin frowned, looked thoughtful, and then said: "The slave maid thinks that this Jinglan feels that there is no future for Mo Xuan, and wants to change hands." β
Su Xin, although Fang Caijinglan's actions were a bit far-fetched, there was no flaw in her expression and movements. To say that she is smart, reluctantly, to say that she is not smart, but she is indeed a little smart. Qu Lingxue took the note, but she didn't open it, which made Su Xin a little anxious.
Su Xin smiled and said, "Miss, aren't you curious about what she wrote?" β
After speaking, Su Xin pointed to the note, urging Qu Lingxue to open it quickly.
Qu Lingxue put the note into her cuffs and said to Su Xin with a smile: "Su Xin, let's make a bet." If you win, I'll give you ten taels of silver. If you lose, eat all the sour fruits in the kitchen, don't waste them. β
Su Xin smiled slyly and said, "It seems that Miss thinks I guessed wrong." β
"Jinglan, this maid, when I look at her, I feel that there is ruthlessness in her eyes. I don't think it's as simple as trying to change the master. Or rather, she didn't just want to change her master. In order to prevent Li Moxuan from retaliating, she will strike first. β
Hearing Qu Lingxue say this, Su Xin was skeptical: "Miss, don't you know when you open it and take a look?" β
"Are you in such a hurry? Then go back and watch again, so that you can win a little longer. Qu Lingxue smiled and continued to walk in the direction of Xia Heyuan.
"Wait for me, Miss!" Su Xin hurriedly followed.
After Qu Lingxue left, the heavy gate was closed tightly again.
Li Moxuan's face was gloomy and cold, and she rushed to Jinglan with an arrow step. She raised her hand, and the slap was about to fall on Jinglan's face.
However, Jinglan stood up and quickly grabbed Li Moxuan's arm.
"You're so daring! Let go! Li Moxuan didn't expect Jinglan to dare to resist, and the fire fingers in her heart rushed up.
"Jinglan, what are you doing! Let it go! Jiu'er looked at Jinglan in surprise.
Jing Lan sneered: "You are a loyal servant." Isn't it enough for her to be angry with you? I'm not you! β
After speaking, Jinglan shook off Li Moxuan's arm vigorously, then raised her hand and slapped Li Moxuan hard.
Li Moxuan's body was thin, and she was hit hard by Jinglan, she felt dizzy, her ears were buzzing, and she couldn't hear anything.
She spun around and fell to the ground.
"Miss!" Jiu'er hurriedly went to help Moxuan away.
Jinglan looked at Li Moxuan coldly, then raised her head and walked past her.
Jiu'er chased after her, angry: "Jinglan, how can you treat Miss like this!" When the young lady is ungrounded, you don't want to stay in Chunlai Hospital! β
Jinglan turned her head and looked at Jiu'er, with a mocking expression: "It's not uncommon for me to stay in this spring courtyard." Jiu'er, even if Miss really lifts the grounding, she will no longer be favored by the prince. I advise you to make plans early, otherwise when you leave the house and get married, you won't even have a dowry! β
After speaking, Jinglan no longer paid attention to Limo Xuan and Jiu'er, and swaggered in.
