Chapter 931
Madam Qu forced a smile, but did not answer her question. Instead, she said, "Ling'er, is there some misunderstanding between you and your aunt? You two are related by blood. Now that you have reached the rank of Consort, you must take good care of your aunt."
Qu Ling looked at her intently: "My aunt has been in the palace for so many years. When it comes to shrewdness, she is better than me. Even without me, she would not have been wronged."
Madam Qu fell silent.
Qu Ling was not in a hurry: "I invited Mother to the palace today to resolve the doubts in my heart. If these doubts cannot be resolved, Mother will not be able to leave."
After saying that, Qu Ling slowly picked up her teacup and took a small sip.
Things from the palace placed outside are the most precious of treasures, but Qu Ling had long been tired of them and didn't find them particularly special at the moment.
After Qu Ling finished speaking, Madam Qu remained silent for a long time.
Qu Ling wasn't in a hurry at all.
It's still early; she has plenty of time.
The hall was so quiet that even breathing could be heard clearly. Outside, the faint sounds of Qu Dun playing music drifted over, making the hall seem even more desolate.
After an unknown amount of time, Madam Qu finally let out a long sigh: "Ling'er, no matter what, it's really unsightly that you and your aunt have come to this point. You're family, how could you..."
Qu Ling sneered: "Mother values Dun'er and Aunt, but not me, is that it?"
Seeing that Madam Qu remained silent with a stiff face, Qu Ling felt inexplicably irritated.
She was also born after Madam Qu carried her for ten months!
There's nothing wrong with Madam Qu valuing Qu Dun, but why, why does Madam Qu value Consort Jing even more?
Then what is she?!
"Now that my aunt has become a noble lady and I have become a concubine, if I want to do something to my aunt, I don't even need to take action myself."
Upon hearing this, Madam Qu, who had been prepared to remain silent, could no longer sit still and abruptly looked up at Qu Ling: "You, you can't do this!"
"Why can't I?" Qu Ling smiled. "I can do whatever I want. If Mother doesn't want to receive even worse news in a few days, she should settle things as soon as possible."
"Dun'er, what exactly happened?"
Madam Qu gritted her teeth and glared at Qu Ling.
However, Qu Ling showed no sign of backing down, and neither mother nor daughter gave in.
Madam Qu was secretly alarmed.
Not long ago, Qu Ling was such an innocent child, but now, even her mother can't see through Qu Ling anymore.
In the end, Madam Qu naturally conceded defeat: "...It's your aunt."
Your aunt said that Dun'er is too young and can't compete with those who have grown up, so no matter what, I can't rely on Dun'er in the future. Rather than that, I'd rather rely on you.
Your aunt promised me that as long as you enter the palace, she will treat you well, will not let you suffer any grievances, and will not let you get involved in those dirty things. More importantly, while you are in the palace, Dun'er and I will not suffer outside.
I thought to myself, "You have your aunt to look after you, so there's nothing to worry about," and I agreed.
After saying these words, Madam Qu seemed to have all her strength drained away, and she slumped into the chair.
Qu Ling didn't react at first, but then she chuckled softly.
Her laughter grew louder and louder, even bordering on manic.
Madam Qu felt uneasy and called her name several times.
"Madam Qu has really gone to great lengths for herself," Qu Ling finally stopped laughing, tears streaming down her face. "She's also ruthless enough to use even her own daughter and son."
Don't tell me that you weren't responsible for Atsu's condition back then!
Madam Qu's face turned deathly pale: "I... I know what I'm doing, I wouldn't really harm Dun'er!"
"And what about me!"
With a bang, the teacup shattered at Madam Qu's feet.
Qu Ling's eyes were bloodshot: "What about me?!"
