Chapter 58: Returning it bit by bit

"Is it that bitch?" Qu Heng's face was filled with murderous intent.

He said to Song sarcastically, "Didn't mother say that she was under your control when she returned? Why does it seem like you're at a disadvantage now?"

Song's face looked extremely ugly.

He was also rude to Qu Yi, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking."

The pain and fear made him lose his mind. "As long as I'm alive, you will never get the position of the crown prince. You must understand the order of seniority."

Song looked at her eldest son and then at her second son, her heart broken.

The atmosphere in the house was tense.

Song felt dizzy. She couldn't believe that her two sons were actually at loggerheads over the position of the crown prince.

"Enough!" Song shouted, tears streaming down her face. "You are brothers, how can you do this?"

She was choked with sobs and couldn't continue.

Seeing this, Qu Yi stepped forward to support the staggering Song, "Mother, calm down. I was the one who made the mistake."

He glanced at Qu Heng and said, "The most urgent thing is to heal my brother's injury."

Qu Heng suddenly let out a creepy laugh, "Why are you pretending to be a good person? If my leg doesn't heal, you won't have a good life either."

Mrs. Song almost collapsed. She couldn't believe that such words would come out of her son's mouth.

The imperial physician finally arrived, and Song woke up as if from a dream. She quickly pulled Qu Yi aside.

Qu Yi stepped back obediently, but said to Song, "Mother, have you ever thought about why it was my brother who got into trouble, but I was the one who was suspected?"

A bitter smile appeared on his lips. "Perhaps it's because everyone agrees that the throne should belong to my brother."

These words pierced Song's heart like a sharp sword.

Yunsongtang.

Qu Ling was talking to the old lady.

The old lady is much better now, but she always looks listless.

She has been very dependent on Qu Ling recently and won't take medicine without Qu Ling around.

"That vicious woman, Song, is now in complete control of the mansion. She's secretly cursing us mother and daughter to death. Ah Ling, your aunt is imprisoned in the Forest Garden. Is there really no way to get her out?"

The old lady has asked this question many times.

Qu Ling shook his head every time.

The time is not right.

The old lady was heartbroken again, "Even the child she gave birth to has become estranged from me."

Qu Ling's eyes flickered when he heard this.

This is just the old lady's one-sided statement.

As long as Qu Xi was still alive, the three children of the main courtyard would not dare to disrespect the old lady even if they had the guts to do so.

Even if the Song family turned the world upside down, they would still have to come and pay their respects.

After the old lady fell, her temper became strange.

Either he would call Qu Lianzhi over in the middle of the night and scold her, or he would throw tea in her face when she came to pay her respects.

Even his two most beloved grandsons had never seen her in a good mood.

But compared to the granddaughter, the grandson just looked at the expression.

Being so fickle, Qu Xi lost all his patience no matter how filial he was.

He told them not to come and pay their respects.

Seeing that the old lady liked Qu Ling, from then on, there were only Qu Ling and Cui Lu in Yunsong Hall.

This is perfect. With just a little more time, Qu Ling will have control over Yunsong Hall inside and out.

Cuilu walked in, looking panicked. She opened her mouth but hesitated to speak.

"But what happened?" Qu Ling asked.

Cuilu hesitated, then slowly spoke under the old lady's questioning gaze, "The eldest son's leg was broken by a horse."

The old lady's lips trembled with shock, but she pushed Qu Ling away and accused him, "Didn't you go to Guoqing Temple? Did you forget to ward off evil and bring blessings to your two younger brothers?"

She blamed Qu Ling.

Qu Ling stood up and said calmly, "I haven't forgotten."

How could she forget.

She prayed sincerely in front of the Buddha, hoping that the twins would not die a good death.

In her previous life, she was rejected as soon as she returned to the Marquis' Mansion and had a hard life.

But he didn't know how to hide his edge and avoid obstacles, and was just obsessed with competitiveness, and ended up with injuries all over his body.

She remembered very clearly that on Qu Lianzhi's birthday, the two brothers ordered their servants to tie her up, dress her in tattered clothes, put on extremely ugly makeup on her face, hang her on a tree, and tie copper bells around her ankles.

She struggled in pain, the bells rang, and Qu Lianzhi laughed heartily.

What good brothers they are! They would do anything to make their sister smile.

After being put down, Qu Ling wanted to fight with them, but he was no match for them and was beaten for no reason.

I went to the old lady and the marquis to complain, but they said, "Brothers and sisters should live in harmony and stop quarreling over trivial matters."

Small matter?

She will return these trivial things to them bit by bit.

"Grandma, you're not feeling well. Let me go and see you." Qu Ling's expression remained unchanged.

The old lady nodded and said earnestly, "A Ling, no matter how much the princess loves you, you still have to get married. In the future, your two younger brothers will be your support. Do you understand?"

Qu Ling still smiled, "I understand."

Turning around, the smile on her face disappeared.

Her confidence comes only from being the eldest princess.

After leaving Yunsong Hall, Cuilu followed, "The old lady is always talking about the eldest aunt."

The Song family is very powerful and won't let Qu Mingyue out. The old lady has no way to deal with it.

"I will let them meet each other."

The last side.

On the way to the outer courtyard, Qu Ling asked, "Did the person who broke my axle follow us?"

Guan Qi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, young lady, I'll follow closely."

As soon as Qu Ling brought Nanny Li to the Marquis' Mansion, he ordered that he must have his own people in every part of the mansion.

The people sent by the eldest princess are too conspicuous, so it is best for them to stay in Nuanshanju.

Some time ago, while the old lady was in charge, the affairs of the mansion were somewhat lax, and people were placed everywhere.

Any movement in the Marquis' Mansion would reach her ears.

"Keep an eye on him," Qu Ling said, "and set a fire in the forest garden."

Guanqi didn't ask any questions and just did whatever the girl said.

When Qu Ling stepped into the outer courtyard, the courtyard was filled with a strong smell of blood and the bitter scent of herbs.

Qu Qing was already standing in front of the bed, his back to the door, his hands clenched into fists.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned around, his eyes bloodshot, anxiety and anger intertwined between his brows.

Just as Qu Ling was about to salute, he heard a roar coming from the bed.

"It was her, she's the one who hurt me," Qu Heng said with murderous intent. His finger, pointing at Qu Ling, trembled uncontrollably. "Dad, she broke the axle on purpose to kill me."

The Marquis's gaze swept towards Qu Ling like a knife.

The imperial physician paused as he bandaged the wound.

Qu Ling was not in a hurry and looked up at Qu Heng.

Her voice was cold and clear. "Today I went to Guoqing Temple, and my carriage broke down in the wilderness. If Princess Jiaping hadn't passed by, I, a weak woman, don't know what would have happened to me."

Song's pupils suddenly shrank.

Princess Jiaping, how could it be her?

Why don't you mention Xu Yu at all?

Her heart was in turmoil.

Was it that the Lady of Dongyang was pretending to obey, or was Xu Yu already...

Song wanted to ask, but couldn't.

If you ask, that would be admitting your guilt.
