There was a hint of coldness at the corner of his lips. Before Nanny Xun could speak, Yu Qingwu raised her head and asked, "By the way, Nanny Xun, I want to ask you something. Are there any girls from my maternal grandmother's family who have not left the palace? Are they all married?"
Hearing this, Aunt Xun was even more stunned, frowned, and thought, "I vaguely remember that the Qiu family's younger brother, Mr. Qiu Laohou, has a total of six granddaughters, two legitimate children, four concubines, and legitimate children. The eldest grandson has already been married, and the other granddaughter is said to have been married a long time ago. As for the four concubines, they rarely show up on weekdays, and the old slave has never seen them..."
"On the contrary...Qiu Shiyi Niang, the youngest daughter of Mr. Qiu's step-wife, is only sixteen years old this year and is very favored in the Qiu Mansion. Mrs. Qiu, wherever she can meet noble people, I have to take Eleven Niang with me and make her stand out everywhere. Now this Eleven Niang is considered a well-known and talented girl in Kyoto. There are many young masters who come to ask for marriage, but so far, I have not heard of an engagement."
Qiu Shiyi Niang...
Talented woman? Very good!
A sharp flash of light flashed through his eyes, Yu Qingwu nodded, smiled calmly at Aunt Xun, "Okay, Auntie, I understand, please go and invite Miss Shen."
The cold snow was falling, and when Nanny Xun opened the door, a blast of cold air rushed in.
Yu Qingwu leaned lightly on the chair, tapped the table with his fingers, and ordered the maid outside the house to prepare some tea and fruits.
When Shen Rou walked in, several plates of extremely exquisite pastries were already placed on the small mahogany table of Qingningyuan.
These plates of pastries were brought out from Queen Zhou's Palace when I entered the palace a few days ago.
With just one glance, Shen Rou saw the clues.
Suddenly, the anger in her heart increased even more. You should know that she rarely had the opportunity to meet the queen, let alone eat a bite of pastries made by the royal chef in the palace.
Looking at the extremely conspicuous ruby hairpin in Yu Qingwu's bun, Shen Rou's eyes almost burst into flames.
"Yu Qingwu, I order you to leave the prince brother immediately!"
Just like when she was young, Shen Rou still had the same aloof attitude.
Her childish face was full of anger, and she said in a self-righteous analysis, "Yu Qingwu, with your status, you are not worthy of the crown prince brother! Have you ever thought that once the news about your murder back then spreads, the crown prince brother is likely to be the heir apparent. I can’t even keep it.”
Shen Rou maintained her posture, and while speaking, she took out a bag of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Yu Qingwu, with an expression of giving, "I know that a merchant girl with a humble background like you can't understand this at all, but if you really If you love the prince, you should think of him, take these coins, and never show up in Kyoto again."
With that look, that arrogance, and such clear-headedness, the words "I am smart" are almost written on his face.
It is said that the stupider a person is, the more he likes to be smart, and this is really the case.
Yu Qingwu leaned her chin on the table, looked at Shen Rou mockingly, and couldn't help but laugh, "Shen Rou, do you think His Highness will not break off the engagement with you if I leave?"
Hearing this, Shen Rou blushed, became a little angry, and said bitterly, "If you hadn't instigated it, how could the prince brother break off the engagement with me for no reason?"
"That's really not the case..." Yu Qingwu chuckled lightly, picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Shen Rou, "It seems that you don't know quite yet. The reason why His Highness really broke off the engagement with you is actually... because of the Qiu family's eleventh anniversary. mother."
She sighed in a low voice, with helplessness in her eyes, "Actually, I have tried to persuade His Highness a few times. After all, compared to Qiu Shiyiniang, you and I are blood-related cousins, but His Highness disagreed and said that …”
"What did you say?" Shen Rou was already frightened when she heard Qiu Shiyiniang. Now after hearing Yu Qingwu's words, her face became even more ugly. She quickly asked, "What did the prince brother say? Is that right?" ...Did that Qiu Shiyiniang say bad things about me?"
As expected of a well-known idiot, you took the bait now?
Yu Qingwu sneered in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Shen Rou for a moment, gently held her hand, and said in a sympathetic tone, "Cousin, now I am also a mud Buddha crossing the river and cannot protect myself. For my own future, I will also work with you. Let's be honest. In fact, His Highness broke off the engagement because...my grandmother was afraid that you would not want to take care of the Fuqiu family after you became the crown princess, so she thought of letting her little niece Qiu Shiyi Niang take your place. Yes... That Qiu Shiyi Niang is smarter and more beautiful than you, and she has the same surname as her, and the Qiu family can help His Highness more than the Duke's Palace, so I asked Your Highness to break off the engagement with you and propose to marry the Qiu Family Shiyi Niang instead. .”
"And in order to make the eleventh mother's name justified, I even found a reason to deny you."
She withdrew her hand angrily and retorted bitterly, "Yu Qingwu, don't even think about driving a wedge between me and my grandmother..."
"Cousin, wouldn't it be clear if you go back and ask your grandmother if I have provoked you?"
"Did grandma tell you that she had to sacrifice you for the future of her two brothers? Did she still call you stupid today? Ask her for the specific reason. Did she just take advantage of the fact that the Duke's Palace is in the hands of His Highness? Your Highness is threatening you, but you can’t give a specific reason?”
The so-called "killing people to kill people", after Yu Qingwu finished speaking, Shen Rou's face turned pale.
In those watery, almond-shaped eyes, there was disbelief and even anger.
Yu Qingwu curled his lips, stared at her sympathetically, and continued to light the fire, "Also, grandma often subsidizes the Qiu family. If you don't believe it, you can ask your uncle to check the account books. However, grandma will definitely not agree. …”
Saying that, Yu Qingwu sighed again, stretched out his hand to hold Shen Rou again, and said in a sympathetic tone, "Compared to the Qiu family, we are all outsiders in the eyes of my grandmother, and in the end we are just stepping stones for the Qiu family..."
A few soft and gentle words are like magic sounds in my ears.
"You are talking nonsense! Grandma can't do that! I am grandma's granddaughter! How can grandma help outsiders?"
Shen Rou's face turned blue and she loudly defended the Qiu family.
However, my mind couldn't help but think of my grandmother's daily behavior. My grandmother always said she was stupid and always praised that Qiu Shiyi Niang. Moreover, when my grandmother talked about breaking off the engagement today, she did not give a specific reason.
Could it be that grandma really deliberately ruined her marriage for the sake of the Qiu family? Did she want to make way for Qiu Shiyiniang?
Giving Yu Qingwu a hard look, Shen Rou stood up suddenly and walked out of Qingningyuan with red eyes.
Yu Qingwu stood in front of the window, watching Shen Rou leave, and then took down the pole...
"Senior sister, murder is heartbreaking."
Bang, just as she was about to close it, a big hand suddenly pressed down the window.
Yu Qingwu was stunned and looked up at the people outside the window.
She saw a man in a black python robe standing outside. Under his handsome face, his pair of deep phoenix eyes stared at her quietly, with a smile that did not reach his eyes. There was a bit of reproach in his evil voice, and he snorted coldly, "It's not enough to be alone." Do you want Senior Sister to trust you? So much so that you have to drag down the innocent Eleven Niang?"
Hey, Eleven Niang? She screamed so affectionately.
