Chapter 8: Reclaiming the Yard
Qu Lianzhi's face froze.
She never expected that the old lady would treat her like this one day.
"Grandma..." she said in a daze.
"A Ling, come here quickly and let grandma take a good look at you." The old lady ignored Qu Lianzhi and looked at Qu Ling with burning eyes.
In her previous life, when Qu Ling just returned home, the old lady was kind to her for some time.
But this is not because the old lady is kind-hearted.
He just used her to annoy the Song family.
At that time, Qu Ling was instigated by Nanny Zhou and felt that the Marquis' Mansion owed her, so she was not kind to the old lady at all.
Seeing that her kindness had hit a wall, the old lady gave up pretending.
Not only did she not feel sorry for Qu Ling, but she was also happy to add fuel to the fire when the Song family made things difficult for her.
In this life, Qu Ling changed his mind.
In the Marquis' Mansion, the old lady has the highest status, but she has been suppressed by the Song family for many years.
She felt resentful.
And they couldn't defeat the Song family.
In fact, they both have the same goal.
In that case, why not go with the flow?
"I have lived in Jiangzhou for many years and don't have anything good to give to my grandmother. So I copied some Buddhist scriptures by hand and offer them to the Buddha. May the Buddha bless my grandmother with good health."
Qu Ling gestured to Tingqin to present the Buddhist scriptures.
Those Buddhist scriptures were copied by her after she came back to life.
She added some ink bought from Madam Mu to the ink used for copying scriptures.
"You are so thoughtful. You are such a filial child." The old lady smiled happily and hugged Qu Ling.
His eyes noticed the Buddhist beads in Qu Ling's hand, "These Buddhist beads..."
"It was given to me by the master of Jiangzhou Zen Temple," Qu Ling said. "When I was in Jiangzhou, I often went to listen to sutras. The master saw that I had a connection with him, so he gave the beads to me."
Qu Ling took off the Buddhist beads and handed them over, "Grandma, if you like them, I'll give them to you."
It's not a good thing either, so the old lady naturally looks down on it.
However, when she heard that Qu Ling often listened to sutras, she became more interested.
"Every year on March 15th, Master Huaisu of Guoqing Temple gives a lecture. You just happened to be there," the old lady said. "I'll take you there then."
It would be a joy if you could be appreciated by a master.
Qu Ling agreed and twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand quickly.
On March 15th of her previous life, she was beaten so badly by Qu Qi that she couldn't get out of bed.
Naturally, I have no chance to attend such a grand event.
Qu Lianzhi was unwilling to be left out, and even more unwilling to give up Nuanshanju.
"Grandma, you'd better not take her with you. She's very brave and stabbed my mother. She might bring you trouble."
When talking about the Song family, Qu Lianzhi's tears fell.
"Is that really the case?" The old lady sat up straight.
Qu Lianzhi nodded repeatedly.
She must let her grandmother know what kind of person Qu Ling is.
"Grandma, this is the eldest princess's intention." Qu Ling said lightly.
The old lady thought about it for a moment and knew why.
He looked at Qu Lianzhi with a bad look, "You should go ask your mother what good things she has done!"
He added coldly, "She's increasingly disregarding me. I told her to move out of Nuanshanju a few days ago, but there's been no movement today."
Then he ordered the servants around him, "Go and move the second lady's things to Jichun Pavilion, now!"
Qu Lianzhi exclaimed, "Grandma..."
"A Ling is your sister, you should respect her," the old lady said, now pleased with Qu Ling and happy to support her. "If you dare to speak disrespectfully to your sister again, I will punish you by making you kneel in the ancestral hall."
Qu Lianzhi felt like the sky was falling.
"Okay, I'm tired too, you guys go first."
The old lady patted Qu Ling's hand and said, "Come over early for dinner tonight. I'll ask the kitchen to make something you like."
According to the rules of the Marquis' Mansion, the whole family must gather together for dinner in the evening.
This also gave Qu Ling a chance to kill everyone.
"Granddaughter, goodbye."
Qu Ling recalled the feeling of slashing with a knife in his previous life.
Although I lost my life, it was a great relief.
After leaving the yard, Qu Lianzhi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised his hand to hit Qu Ling.
Qu Ling is waiting for her.
He raised his left foot and kicked her down into the flower bed.
"Sister, walk carefully. If you fall, you'll be the one in pain."
Qu Lianzhi's maid was stunned by this sudden change.
After coming to his senses, he hurried to help Qu Lianzhi.
"It was clearly you who kicked my girl!" The maid Yindan saw it.
"Really?" Qu Ling raised an eyebrow. "I saw she fell by herself."
Qu Lianzhi trembled in pain, his palms even scraped raw. After finally regaining his balance, he gritted his teeth and said, "Qu Ling, you dare to kick me?"
She also wants to beat Qu Ling.
Qu Ling drew out the dagger.
Qu Lianzhi stopped all his movements.
"I'm not afraid of death," Qu Ling looked at her quietly, "Aren't you afraid too?"
Qu Lianzhi felt a chill coming towards him, "Are you crazy?"
This is in the Marquis' Mansion. How dare she point a dagger at others in public?
"Listen to me," Qu Ling said calmly, "I won't cause you any trouble, but you'd better stay away from me, otherwise I will kill you."
"If you kill me, what good will happen to you?"
Qu Lianzhi had never seen such a person before.
Qu Ling's eyelids drooped. "You don't need to worry about what happens to me, but you will definitely die."
Qu Lianzhi swallowed his saliva but refused to give in. "Nuanshanju is my place, I will never give it to you!"
She is the most distinguished girl in the mansion.
Why should an unlucky person who killed his own mother steal her things?
Qu Ling was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.
He said to the person sent by the old lady, "Lead the way to Nuanshanju."
The group left immediately, leaving only Qu Lianzhi standing there.
"Girl...what...what should I do?" Yin Dan was at a loss.
"Go find mother first." Qu Lianzhi knew that Nuanshanju could not be saved.
The people around this bitch Qu Ling are all from the princess's mansion.
She had been in and out of the palace since she was young, so she naturally knew the pros and cons.
I can only find another way to deal with her.
Qu Ling went all the way to Nuanshanju.
This was the place she had tried her best to live in in her previous life but never got there.
"Send the second young lady's things to Jichun Pavilion." Qu Ling gave the order as soon as he stepped into Nuanshanju.
The former maids and servants of Nuanshanju looked at each other in bewilderment.
Qu Lianzhi's maid, Jin Dan, stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, young lady, what do you mean by this?"
Qu Ling didn't need to say anything. Nanny Li waved her hand and a maid from the princess's mansion came forward and slapped him in the face.
"The rules of the Marquis' Mansion are truly eye-opening. A maid actually questioned her master."
Jindan was stunned.
Under the pressure of Li Ma's imposing manner, she could only cover her face and stare blankly.
The person sent by the old lady finally spoke.
"The Marquis and the old lady said that Nuanshanju is the residence of the eldest daughter, and the second daughter is requested to move to Jichun Pavilion."
Qu Ling's voice was as gentle as the spring rain in March, but his words were very blunt, "Do you want to move it yourselves, or do you want me to have it thrown out?"
In this life, she decided to live arrogantly.
