Qu Jingyun was struggling with her decision when someone suddenly arrived from the palace.
Moreover, she was a nanny serving the Empress.
Upon seeing her, Qu Jingyun immediately became alert.
She asked, "What brings you here, Granny?"
The old nanny handed a gift to the old man and explained with a smile, "Her Majesty the Empress heard that Lord Qu has returned, so she specially sent me to deliver this small gift."
The old man frowned and did not take it.
Seeing this, Qi Yun'er took the money for the old man.
He even opened it in front of the nanny.
"Uncle, look! It's a Buddha statue! Her Majesty the Empress is so thoughtful."
When the old man saw that it was a Buddha statue, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.
But soon he frowned again.
Why does this Buddha statue look like the one he gave to Shen Song before?
When Shen Song first went to the battlefield, he was worried about him, so he specially asked for a Buddha statue for Shen Song to carry with him.
The old nanny smiled at the old man, "This is something Her Highness went through a lot of trouble to obtain, so Lord Qu must cherish it."
Qu Jingyun glanced at the old man whose expression was strange, and then looked at the Buddha statue in Qi Yun'er's hand.
Could there be another problem here?
"Father, let's go quickly," Qu Jingyun said again.
The old man snorted coldly and asked with displeasure, "Tell me, what's the deal with this Buddha statue?"
She rolled her eyes.
"I don't believe in these things, how could I possibly know?"
"you do not know?"
The old man's reaction suddenly became very strong.
Upon seeing this, Qu Jingyun sensed that something was wrong.
The old man's eyes looked like he wanted to devour him.
Qi Yun'er exclaimed, "Hey, this Buddha statue looks really familiar. It looks so much like the one Song'er had before."
Frost?
Qu Jingyun observed it carefully again.
She vaguely remembered that the old man had indeed gotten a Buddha statue for Shen Song.
However, she was very busy at the time and did not believe in ghosts and gods, so she did not take it to heart.
She blurted out instinctively, "If it's from Shen Song, then why is it here?"
The old man rolled his eyes at her, annoyed. "That's the question I should be asking you. Why did the Buddha statue I gave to Song'er end up in the Empress's hands?"
"How would I know?" she asked, speechless.
She wakes up five years later; what can she possibly remember?
Seeing that she was still so self-righteous, the old man was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath.
The old man spoke again: "Never mind, you don't know anyway, I'm going to see Song'er now."
After saying that, the old man immediately turned and walked out.
But Chen Song is not in the manor at the moment.
If the old man were to cause trouble, outsiders would definitely investigate Shen Song's whereabouts, and then the news of Shen Song meeting with Lin Qingping would be known to outsiders.
Before she can catch any remnants of the previous dynasty, the General's Mansion will probably be completely destroyed.
Qu Jingyun gave Qu Jiu a wink again.
Immediately afterwards, many guards appeared and surrounded the room door.
Upon seeing this, the old man looked at Qu Jingyun in disbelief.
"What are you doing? Don't forget I'm your father."
"I know."
Then Qu Jingyun smiled at the old man again, "It is precisely because I know that I want you to go back quickly."
"Sister, you..."
Qu Jingyun raised her hand and slapped her across the face.
The old man's eyes reddened with anger.
He angrily pointed at Qu Jingyun: "What are you doing, you wretched child?"
She said helplessly, "Qi Yun'er is sowing discord, isn't it normal for me to hit her? Besides, no matter what, she's an outsider, so Father should be careful about what he says."
After speaking, Qu Jingyun looked towards the doorway again.
The fact that the Empress sent a Buddha statue at this time is probably not so simple.
Did they intend to lure the old man to see Shen Song?
Her eyes swept over Qi Yun'er, intentionally or unintentionally.
Qi Yun'er felt guilty under Qu Jingyun's gaze and lowered her head, not daring to meet her eyes.
She chuckled softly again, as if she had just thought of something.
"I'm going back to the General's Mansion now, Qi Yun'er, do you want to come back with me?"
Qi Yun'er shivered at her words.
If she stays here, she may never be able to return to the General's Mansion. But if she goes back, will she be able to leave the General's Mansion again?
Seeing that he was still in a daze, she urged him again: "Why are you taking so long to make a choice? Do you have some kind of secret you're hiding?"
"Of course not!" Qi Yun'er immediately shook her head in rebuttal.
Then she smiled at Qu Jingyun again.
"I'll go back with my sister now."
The more obedient she was, the more disappointed the old man became.
His daughter is so spoiled even at her age.
Now that Shen Yunting is dead, and with her terrible temper, how will she manage in the future?
Qu Jingyun took Qi Yun'er out of the Qu family.
She stopped and glanced back at Qi Yun'er.
"Now that the general is gone, the general's mansion needs to cut expenses. From today onwards, one carriage will suffice. Yours is useless, so use it to chop firewood."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yun'er became angry.
Qi Yun'er said discontentedly, "Sister, don't forget that I am now the steward of the General's Mansion. How can you..."
She smiled and interrupted Qi Yun'er.
“You are the manager, but I am the master of the General’s Mansion. You don’t really think that just because the old lady has given you this power of management, you can do whatever you want, do you?”
"That's not what I meant," Qi Yun'er said softly, her head lowered.
She let out another cold laugh and got into the carriage first.
Qi Yun'er clenched her teeth, reluctantly sitting down.
Soon they arrived at a place called Zuixianglou.
