She was the youngest daughter of a century-old general's household, of noble status, cherished by her father and brothers, living a life of freedom and spontaneity. Yet, she was tragically murd...
The door opened, and two maids were whispering something in the corridor. Hearing the sound, they looked up in surprise.
It seemed that he didn't expect Qingyue to walk out of the house.
"Princess, what's the matter?"
One of the maids in a red dress spoke, her tone somewhat perfunctory and sarcastic.
Qing Yue took a step forward and walked out of the room. Without paying any attention to the maid, she walked into the yard.
The maid seemed stunned for a moment, then reacted and stood in front of Qingyue, "Princess, the prince has issued a ban and you are not allowed to leave this room."
Qing Yue pursed her lips and looked at the maid in front of her. She said coldly, "Has the prince given an order that a servant like you can't bow to the master?"
The maid was stunned, as if she didn't expect Qingyue to talk back.
She was here to serve the new princess, so she naturally knew her background. She heard that she was the exiled daughter of the Qin family, who married into Prince Yu's mansion. She was cowardly and timid, crying all day long, without any bearing of a lady from a noble family, and was not favored by the prince. These days, no matter how she spoke coldly and sarcasticly to her, she just kept silent and didn't dare to say a word.
I didn't expect that you would dare to talk back today.
Did he become braver after committing suicide once?
The maid Cuiping was the head maid in the mansion. She thought she had some dignity, but Qingyue's question made her look a little awkward. She casually bowed and said perfunctorily, "This servant greets the princess."
Qing Yue looked at her coldly, and could see through her perfunctory and neglectful attitude.
"May I have your name?"
Qingyue suddenly asked.
"Your servant Cuiping."
Qing Yue Qing Ling's eyes fell on her, and then he spoke word by word, "I know you look down on me and neglect me because of my status, but no matter what, I am the daughter of the Qin family and the wife of Prince Yu. Regardless of whether I am favored or not, if I demand the execution of a servant who doesn't know the rules, it would be very easy."
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid Cuiping's face turned pale. She looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief. She saw that her eyes were cold and sharp, and she looked nothing like the timid girl she usually was.
"Princess, please spare me. Cuiping knows she's wrong..."
At this moment, another round-faced maid hurriedly pulled the frightened Cuiping to kneel down, and the two of them lay on the ground with their heads touching the ground.
Qingyue, however, immediately walked away. Only after they had gone far away did the maid named Cuiping raise her head, wipe the sweat from her forehead, and then angrily said, "Why are you so arrogant? She's just an unfavored girl. Sooner or later, the prince will divorce her."
Another round-faced maid hurriedly covered her mouth.
On the other side, what happened in Wutong Garden had already reached the ears of Prince Yu Fengling.
Feng Ling's brows were furrowed. He was reading a military book. Upon hearing the secret guard's report, his eyes immediately turned cold. He said, "It seems she didn't take my words to heart at all. In just three months, she's become unstoppable. She wants to die, and I can grant her wish. 'Zhong Wu, follow her and see where she went. Report back to me every move she made after leaving the palace."
"Oh, by the way, sell that maid named Cuiping."
"yes."
The secret guard received the order and immediately left the study.
Qing Yue left Prince Yu's Mansion. She was tense and had a lot on her mind. She walked straight towards the Qing family.
It was noon and the sun was scorching.
The Qing family is located on the northeast street of the capital, a certain distance away from Prince Yu's mansion, and it takes about half an hour to get there.
Qing Yue walked on the long street in a daze, her head buzzing. Even at this moment, she was in a trance.
Suddenly, the sound of horses galloping was heard.
A male voice sounded, "Qing Zhan, this way."
Qing Yue subconsciously raised her eyes and saw a man riding a horse stopped at the door of Zuixianlou across the long street and jumped down from the horse. He was wearing a sky blue brocade robe and looked handsome and eye-catching. There was a beautiful jade hanging around his waist and his hair was tied up with a jade hairpin on his head. He looked arrogant and conceited.
That is...
Her second brother, Qing Zhan.
The second brother of the Qing family is the most difficult to control. He has a wild temperament. He does not serve in the court or join the army. He likes to travel and live a reckless life.
But the Qing family doted on her the most and always found all kinds of strange and fun things for her.
Memories came flooding back like a tide.
Qing Yue almost ran to the other side, her heart trembling.
At this time, Qing Zhan had just dismounted when someone came up to him. When he raised his foot and was about to step onto the stairs, his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone.
He subconsciously looked back and saw a woman with a pale face, trembling lips, and tears in her eyes looking at him.
Qing Zhan, "???"
Qing Zhan was really stunned, shocked by the tears in the eyes of the girl in front of him.
While Qing Zhan was in a daze, the man standing at the door had already come forward, his face full of gossip, his inquiring eyes searching back and forth between the two people's faces, "Qing Zhan, who is this girl?"
Qing Zhan frowned and said casually, "How should I know?"
Then he started pulling at his clothes, "Girl, do I know you?"
Qing Yue held Qing Zhan's clothes tightly, fearing that he would disappear if she let go. It seemed like just one day and one night, and her second brother seemed to have matured a lot.
"Second brother."
She choked out sobs and tears streamed down her face.
When Qing Zhan saw this situation, he was a little dazed, especially since the tugging and pulling at the door of the restaurant had attracted a lot of attention.
"I'm not your second brother. You've got the wrong person."
Qing Zhan frowned and spoke with impatience, then exerted force and shook Qing Yue's hand away.
Qing Yue was already in a trance and weak, and after being thrown by Qing Zhan, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Hey, you... I didn't mean it, but I'm not your second brother. You got the wrong person."
Qing Zhan didn't seem to expect that he would push the person down with just a flick of his hand. He touched his nose, feeling a little sorry. He coughed and hurriedly apologized and explained.
Qing Yue was lying on the ground. She could feel the gazes from all directions staring at her, the mocking looks from those watching the show, and the unfamiliar look from Qing Zhan.
Qing Yue felt as if her heart was about to break with pain.
Her eyes were red, tears fell on their own, she raised her head, choked and said, "Gu Zhan, I am..."
"Second brother."
At this moment, a sweet voice suddenly sounded behind him.
The door of the restaurant behind him opened, and a charming woman walked out. She had curved eyebrows and a sweet smile, her eyes were bright as stars, her eyebrows were as distant as mountains, and her eyebrows were delicate, as if they were outlined with the most delicate brushstrokes, one stroke at a time. She was extremely beautiful.
However, the moment Qing Yue saw her, her whole body froze and her pupils widened in disbelief.
This is……
This is? !
Qingyue, the whole person felt like falling into an ice cellar!
