Chapter 24: Making Trouble
Song Yujin happened to walk up to the two of them, caught a glimpse of the purse out of the corner of her eye, and was stunned.
"I lost this," she snatched the purse and held it in her hand, gnashing her teeth as she asked Qu Lianxue, "How did it end up in your hands?"
Qu Ling interrupted, "She probably picked it up while delivering Buddhist scriptures to the Zen room."
"You went to the Zen room?" Song Yujin exuded coldness.
"No, I didn't pick up this purse... No, I don't know..." Qu Lianxue was so anxious that her words began to stutter.
"My elder sister gave it to me," she thought quickly, putting the blame on Qu Ling. "Miss Song saw her coming back from outside, she picked up the purse and gave it to me."
Whether Song Yujin believed it or not, Qu Lianxue could only say this.
"Yujin, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and go." Liu turned around and urged.
"Remember this!" Song Yujin left after saying these harsh words.
Madam Qu glanced at her two granddaughters and said, "Go home first."
Qu Ling followed as if nothing had happened, and Qu Lianxue bit her lip and followed as well.
As soon as they got on the carriage, Madam Qu asked, "What did you say to Miss Song just now?"
"She lost face today, so she might be angry. Don't provoke her."
No matter how the eldest princess stepped on the Song family's face, the Song family was still the most powerful family in the Xi Dynasty.
Qu Ling slapped Qu Lianxue in the face, causing her face to twist to the side.
"A Ling, what are you doing?" The old lady was shocked.
"Grandma, you know, it's almost our family that's been disgraced."
Qu Ling pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and threw it at Qu Lianxue. "You imitated my handwriting and wrote something shameful like this and put it in my Buddhist scriptures. You want to embarrass me in front of others."
"Such a clumsy trick will certainly harm me, but it will also harm you and Lian Jia!"
He finally reacted. After taking the paper and reading it, she was horrified. "You are going to make our entire mansion a laughing stock!"
The poem on the paper was no less brilliant than the one written by Song Yujin.
The signature was Qu Ling's name.
"This handwriting was probably from when I was ten years old. At that time, I went to Jiangzhou and sent a letter to the government. I believe it fell into the hands of Madam. Was this evil plot also instigated by her?"
The old lady's face was as gloomy as water.
The Song family still hasn't given up. It seems that what they did a few days ago was just a self-torture trick.
"Is it what Aling said?" the old lady asked Qu Lianxue.
Qu Lianxue raised her head, her face was red and swollen, and tears were streaming down her face.
"Grandma, I have no choice," she knelt at the old lady's feet. "How dare I disobey Mother? If I say no, I won't be able to live long."
She cried miserably.
The old lady's eyes were visibly moved.
Qu Ling was not moved at all.
"So you're going to keep me from living long?"
"If I die, do you think the princess will allow the Marquis' Mansion to live long?"
The old lady's emotion disappeared in an instant.
She saw with her own eyes how the eldest princess protected Qu Ling.
"You almost harmed the Marquis' Mansion," the old lady looked at Qu Lianxue, "Don't go out again in the future. Reflect on your mistakes."
The girls in the Marquis' Mansion are all very precious and will be of great use in future marriages.
Nothing serious happened, and the old lady didn't think about what to do with Qu Lianxue.
This kind of punishment is very light, and in Qu Ling's eyes, it is totally insufficient.
Song's words, "Lianxue is sensible", made Qu Lianxue even more humiliating to Qu Ling.
In the previous life, Guanqi died at the hands of Qu Lianxue.
In the cold winter, Guanqi went to ask for charcoal fire and met Qu Lianxue on the way, who said that they had a collision.
She was punished by being made to kneel in the snow.
Qu Ling rushed over, pulled Guanqi up, blocked Qu Lianxue, and said some unpleasant words.
The Song family reported the case to Qujina.
"Lian Xue was knocked away by that girl, and her legs were bruised. She is the master, and the girl was at fault first. Kneeling is a light punishment. What A Ling did was inappropriate."
Qu Qi was too lazy to ask in detail and said, "Then let her continue to kneel."
Guanqi was taken out of bed and froze to death outside on a snowy night.
What did Qu Lianxue say at that time? "Bitch, your life is worthless. Sister, you can't keep her by force."
Qu Ling couldn't stand it at all. With red eyes, he pushed Qu Lianxue to the ground and beat her like a madman.
So many maids and servants couldn't stop it.
A large amount of Qu Lianxue's hair was pulled out and her face was scratched, leaving bloody marks.
Afterwards, she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.
After returning from Jiangzhou in her previous life, kneeling in the ancestral hall became a common occurrence for her.
She really wanted to burn down the ancestral hall.
I've been wanting to do this for a long time.
Unfortunately, after she killed the man, she didn't have time to set fire.
Qu Ling suppressed his impulsive rage.
There will be a chance to make up for that fire.
When we returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it was already late.
Qu Ling waited for dinner directly in Yunsong Hall.
"Why is Lian Xue not here?" Qu Xin asked as he came in with his twin sons.
Although Song was released, she was seriously injured and had to rest in bed, with Qu Lianzhi accompanying her.
"It's all your daughter-in-law's fault!" The old lady felt scared just thinking about it and told the story of Guoqing Temple.
"Fortunately, I, A Ling, am a blessed person. Even the Buddha has protected me, so I was not harmed by anyone."
The old lady held Xu Zhaoyue's dowry in her hands, including the half that Song had promised, so she was naturally willing to treat Qu Ling with more care.
"From now on in this family, if A Ling is not doing well, I will only look for her," the old lady snorted, "She stirs up trouble and there is no peace for a single day."
The twins felt uncomfortable after hearing this, but they felt it was not appropriate to interrupt in matters concerning the inner house, so they remained silent.
After dinner, Qu Ling chatted with the old lady and then returned to Nuanshanju.
"Miss, the second lady and the lady have hurt you like this, are we just going to let it go like this?" Su Shang was unwilling.
Qu Lingweiwei smiled and said, "In early April, it is the birthday of the old lady of the Song family. By then, someone will naturally help us get rid of her."
Su Shang thought of the purse and understood.
"Useless thing." When Song learned that Qu Lianxue was under house arrest and Qu Ling returned safely, she knew that the task was not accomplished.
She didn't believe that Qu Ling could always be so lucky and escape every time.
"Mother, the eldest princess and grandmother are protecting her like this, do we still have a chance?" A trace of gloom flashed across Qu Lianzhi's eyes.
After Qu Ling came back, she no longer had a happy life.
It was embarrassing enough to move out of Nuanshanju, and then I was kicked out of Linjianyuan.
Qu Lianzhi felt that he had no status in the mansion.
She wanted Qu Ling to die more than anyone else.
"No matter how well the princess treats her, she is not her daughter," Song lowered her eyelids, "it's not like the princess doesn't have her own daughter."
A sinister look flashed across Song's face.
