Chapter 90: Falling out

Qu Yi arrived at the Song family and went straight to see Song Guang.

"Grandfather, please save the Dingxiang Marquisate."

He knelt down and pleaded.

He came many times in half a month.

The Marquis' Mansion was controlled by Qu Ling, but she did nothing, neither retaliating nor imprisoning him.

He was provided with good food and drink every day and was allowed to go to school.

The more this happened, the more frightened Qu Yi became.

It was like there was a knife hanging over his head, ready to fall and chop off his head at any moment.

He went to his father and said, "Sue Qu Ling to the government. She is unfilial and she is killing her own flesh and blood."

Qu Qi was so depressed that he asked him, "How is she unfilial? Who did she harm?"

Qu Yi was speechless.

"She invited the imperial physician to treat me, paid her respects to your grandmother every day, and took good care of Lianzhi and Ah Heng. She even allowed you to go out."

There is no handle at all.

Qu Yi ran to the Song family in fear. Every time he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he was afraid that Qu Ling would be waiting for him with a knife.

But Qu Ling did nothing.

Except for the death of a housekeeper, no one died in the Dingxiang Marquis's mansion.

"Grandfather, please think of a solution," Qu Yi said, almost going crazy. "She's almost driving us all to death."

He begged many times, but only got four words, "The time is not right yet."

When is the right time?

Finally, Song Guang sighed, "Get up. Today is the Queen's birthday. She and your sister have been summoned to the palace. She will not return to the Marquis' Mansion."

Qu Yi suddenly looked up, surprised.

Really?

Is it time for Qu Ling to die?

"What about my sister?" He was still worried about Qu Lianzhi.

In his heart, Qu Heng was going to die, his mother was also dead, and Qu Lianzhi was his only close relative.

"She killed your grandmother," Song Guang said in a sharp voice. "She deserves no regrets for dying."

Qu Yi's heart trembled and he dared not speak anymore.

Old Lady Song was the Queen's mother. After being sent to the Dali Temple, she quickly escaped.

The carriage was waiting at the back door. Old Madam Song came out in a dishevel and was about to get on the carriage when she was caught by Pei Jingming again.

"Is this how the Dali Temple does things?"

He was like a ghost that wouldn't go away, haunting the Song family.

He reported the Dali Temple Minister to the emperor.

Song Guang was at a loss.

The imperial decree to deprive the prince of his title was withdrawn, and the position of Minister of Personnel was taken by the eldest princess's confidant.

Only after retreating to this point did Pei Jingming finally calm down.

Old Madam Song only managed to save her life and was sent to a nunnery, which was exactly where Song Yujin went.

Aunt Miao was buried properly and her family received a large sum of money.

Song Zhang wanted to kill people to vent his anger several times, but Song Yuzhen reminded him, "The whole capital is watching this case. It's finally settled. Brother, don't be stupid. Not only can you not kill them, you have to let them live a prosperous life. Only then can the Song family truly get out of this turmoil."

After Song Guang knew about this, he was melancholy again, "If Yuzhen was a boy, my Song family would have nothing to worry about."

The butler's voice rang out from outside the door, "Master, someone from the Dingxiang Marquis's Mansion is here."

Qu Yi shuddered, "What does she want to do?"

Call yourself back to kill?

The panicked look made Song Guang look serious.

Such a terrifying person has never appeared in the Dingxiang Marquis Mansion.

She must be killed.

"What did the person who came say?" Song Guang asked someone to come in.

The servant replied, "She said her cousin didn't want to enter the palace, and no matter how the princess tried to persuade her, it was useless. But the empress had already issued an order, and she had to go. She wanted Madam to persuade her."

After Madam Song passed away, Liu became the head of the Song family.

The first thing she did when she got the news was resistance.

She said to Song Yuzhen, "The Dingxiang Marquis's Mansion is weird. Your grandmother was such a powerful person, but she died there. The mansion is full of disabled people. There must be something fishy going on."

Song Yuzhen chuckled, "Then let's just ignore it."

Qu Lianzhi was nothing in my grandfather's mind.

Sure enough, Song Guang said, "Forget it if you don't want to go. She is sick. Just rest well at home. The Queen Mother won't blame you."

Then he said to Qu Yi, "You go back too and take good care of your elder brother."

"Yes." After Qu Yi stepped out, his heart was full of resentment.

Big brother, big brother, what’s there to worry about a piece of trash?

His expression changed from gloomy to bright, but he soon pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Today is a good day, let’s send Big Brother and Qu Ling to hell together.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Qu Yi headed towards his own courtyard and was startled as he entered.

"Why is Big Sister here?" His palms were sweating.

"Are you back?" Qu Ling was fanning himself and leaning lazily on the rattan chair by the window.

It had only been three months since she returned home, but Qu Yi was unable to connect the person in front of him with the person who had almost died at his hands.

"Your sister refuses to enter the palace, so go and persuade her." Qu Ling looked at him with a smile.

Qu Yi's scalp tingled, and he repeated Song Guang's words, "Forget it, it's better not to go, so as not to cause trouble to Big Sister."

"You know the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion. My father is in poor health and indulges in drinking. I think we should appoint a crown prince as soon as possible. What do you think?" Qu Ling lowered his eyebrows and played with the fan.

"Sister is right."

"Then let's appoint Ah Heng." Qu Ling said leisurely.

Qu Yi's breath hitched, he looked up and met Qu Ling's playful eyes.

The emotions that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time finally broke out.

"You've been lying to me!"

Qu Yi's eyes were red, and he suddenly pounced on Qu Ling, strangling her neck with his hands.

Su Shang grabbed his wrist expressionlessly, twisted it and pressed him down on the table.

The veins on Qu Yi's forehead bulged, and tears fell as he struggled. "I should have killed you back then. I shouldn't have trusted you!"

When she first returned home, she used sweet words to deceive him.

"I didn't lie to you," Qu Ling stood up, "I have always been helping you."

Qu Ling chuckled and patted his distorted face with his cold fingers, "If Qu Heng doesn't die soon, you will be the one to die."

She leaned over and whispered in Qu Yi's ear, "I have no patience left. After the palace banquet, one of you and your elder brother must die."

A sob escaped Qu Yi's throat. He was not frightened, but relieved.

Can't wait, huh?

Is the knife hanging over your head going to fall?

"Princess," Tingqin walked in, "it's time to go to the palace."

Qu Ling stood up, straightened his clothes slowly and walked out.

Su Shang punched Qu Yi in the abdomen, throwing him far away before catching up with Qu Ling.

"Tingqin, you and Su Shang stay here," Qu Ling said as he walked towards the main gate of the Marquis' Mansion. "Guard my Marquis' Mansion well."

After the housekeeper died, the mansion was handed over to Nanny Li.

The unprecedented female housekeeper made those in the mansion who were vying for the position dissatisfied.

Qu Ling took the opportunity to sell a batch of them and replaced them all with people sent by the princess's mansion.

Su Shang understood, "If the Second Young Master can't do it..."

"Then help him," Qu Ling took over the conversation, his eyes showing joy, "It will only count if someone dies."

"Princess, why don't you let me go with you?" Tingqin was sensible and couldn't help asking.

If Su Shang is not allowed to follow, and she is not allowed to follow, then who will serve her?

Qu Ling patiently said to her, "It will be very dangerous. I don't want you and Guanqi to be in danger."

Su Shang was very clear-headed. "The princess and the eldest princess have already broken off relations with the Song family and the crown prince. They must be careful in the future."

"It's the Queen's birthday," Qu Ling said with a bright smile, "My aunt will give her a special gift."
