Chapter 721
Madam Qu's brow furrowed even more: "Now that Dun'er is like this, those people feel they have a chance to rise in the ranks, so of course they can't hold back! Ultimately, this matter is still—"
It's all Qu Ling's fault!
Fortunately, she felt that being a girl was not easy, and that there would be few days of leisure and happiness after marriage. Therefore, she doted on this daughter. She indulged Qu Ling's every whim. She never expected that she would raise Qu Ling to be so foolish, making her a tool for others and ruining Qu Dun's and her own life!
Thinking about this, Madam Qu wished she had never given birth to this daughter!
If it weren't for Qu Ling, how could the great situation I had painstakingly built up over so many years have been destroyed in an instant!
Those concubines who are usually suppressed by her and dare not speak up are probably talking behind her back now!
Thinking of this, Madam Qu became even angrier: "Where is Qu Ling?"
“Ever since Young Master Dun became like this, Miss Ling has been watching over him,” the maid said. “At this moment, Miss Ling should still be by Young Master Dun’s side.”
Madam Qu sneered, "What's the use of putting on such an act afterward? She's already ruined Dun'er like this!"
In her opinion, even if Qu Ling had to serve Qu Dun like a slave for the rest of her life, it would be her duty!
Knowing that Madam Qu was in a bad mood, the maid dared not say anything more.
Madam Qu took two deep breaths to calm herself down: "Go and call Qu Ling over here."
The maidservant responded and left, returning shortly with Qu Ling.
Compared to Madam Qu, Qu Ling wasn't much better off; both mother and daughter looked equally haggard.
Upon seeing Qu Ling, Madam Qu let out a heavy, cold snort, as if facing her own enemy.
Qu Ling was naturally upset to be treated this way by her own mother, but then she thought that this was ultimately because of her, so she dared not feel wronged.
She stepped forward and curtsied to Madam Qu, saying, "Mother."
Madam Qu didn't wake her up. Instead, she slowly picked up her teacup and said, "You've ruined your brother like this. Do you have anything to say?"
Qu Ling hadn't had a good rest these past few days, and she had been taking care of Qu Dun all the time. Before she could even maintain the bowing posture for a short while, her legs started to tremble uncontrollably: "Your daughter has nothing to say. I will leave the decision to Mother."
"You're being so clever now!" Madam Qu scolded sternly.
Qu Ling closed her eyes.
She thought she was about to be subjected to another long and endless scolding, but to her surprise, Madam Qu actually woke her up.
"Please sit down."
Qu Ling stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The maid standing nearby felt a pang of sadness.
Qu Ling has always been pampered and cherished by Madam Qu. When did she stop daring to even sit down?
Seeing that Qu Ling hadn't moved, Madam Qu frowned: "Why are you dawdling like this! If I told you to sit down, just sit down!"
Qu Ling trembled and quickly went over to sit down.
Once she was seated, Madam Qu asked, "Do you still remember your aunt from the inner palace?"
Qu Ling nodded: "My daughter remembers."
That aunt had been in the palace for many years. Although she had never been favored by the emperor and had not been able to provide any assistance to the family, there was nothing she could do because she was the emperor's woman. So when her relatives talked about her, they were all respectful.
Just as Qu Ling was wondering why Madam Qu had brought up this person out of the blue, Madam Qu spoke up: "I have already written a letter and sent it to the palace, asking your aunt to help me think of a way to get you into the palace."
As soon as Madam Qu finished speaking, Qu Ling's eyes widened immediately.
