Chapter 935
Normally, she could see right through Qu Ling at a glance, but today, upon entering the palace, she discovered that Qu Ling had changed so much that even she, as her mother, felt like a stranger to her.
Especially Qu Ling's attitude towards her.
Qu Ling actually brought up the so-called distinction between ruler and subject.
He started putting on airs like a concubine from the palace...
Thinking about this made Madam Qu feel even worse.
Just then, Qu Dun arrived.
Since leaving the palace, Qu Dun has stopped making a fuss and laughing, and seems like a completely different person.
Madam Qu beckoned to Qu Dun: "Dun'er, what brings you here?"
Qu Dunyi walked closer and pursed her lips: "Mother, what happened to my sister?"
He didn't understand.
He only remembers that he seemed to be in a daze for a long time and couldn't even control himself.
But after he recovered, he never saw Qu Ling again.
Mrs. Qu said that Qu Ling had gone to live a good life.
He had come to the palace today because he had assumed that Qu Ling was living a good life.
But no.
While he was playing outside, he noticed that the palace servants were not playing with him wholeheartedly. Instead, they kept glancing at the tightly closed gate, as if they were spying on something.
Qu Dun may be young, but he is not stupid. This small action shows that Qu Ling's life is not as good as Madam Qu said.
But he couldn't understand it.
Why?
Meeting Qu Dun's gaze, Madam Qu sighed: "Your sister is of marriageable age. Going to the palace is the best choice for her and for us."
Qu Dun pursed her lips: "Mother, can't you tell that my sister is unhappy in the palace?"
"What's there to be happy or unhappy about? After getting married, life is just like that, isn't it?"
Madam Qu gave a bitter smile.
Not to mention Qu Ling, she used to think that as long as she could be with the person she loved, it would be worth any sacrifice.
But what about now?
She and her husband had reached the point where they hated each other, but separating was impossible.
Qu Dun didn't understand any of this and stared at Madam Qu with wide eyes: "Mother, why does my sister insist on going to the palace?"
Madam Qu was unwilling to bring up the matter again: "How are you doing with your studies? Your brothers are all quite talented in writing, you can't fall too far behind."
"I can't keep up with them," Qu Dun persisted. "Mother, why is that?"
As Qu Dun pressed her for answers, Madam Qu grew increasingly agitated.
Why, why? Of course, it's for him!
If Qu Dun were more capable, why would she have abandoned her own daughter?!
"If you haven't finished your homework, go back and continue!" Madam Qu said sternly. "Stop asking about those unnecessary things. You're just a child; take care of your own affairs!"
Seeing that Qu Dun still wanted to speak, Madam Qu spoke first, called over a servant, and carried Qu Dun away.
The dining room returned to silence, and Mrs. Qu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the more she looked at the delicacies in front of her, the more annoyed she became, so she simply waved her hand and ordered the servants to take them away.
Just as Madam Qu was preparing to rest early, her trusted maidservant suddenly came over: "Madam, Consort Jing from the palace sent word that you should not overthink things. The current predicament is only temporary, but if you act rashly and disrupt the overall situation... then our young lady will have no hope."
Madam Qu was startled.
Consort Jing, this is a threat to her.
