Chapter 369: Qu Fufeng's cousin is a ruthless person

Qu Fufeng was the emperor's confidant and a popular figure in the court, so his wedding banquet was naturally filled with distinguished guests.

How could Lu Li, who always loves to join in the fun, miss this wedding?

As there were too many people, she did not bring Lu Xuan with her, but instead followed her second sister Lu Qi and brought gifts to the banquet together.

Although Lu Yanshi did not attend the wedding banquet, the presence of his most beloved little princess was enough to show how much he valued Qu Fufeng. No one dared to underestimate Qu Fufeng.

Qu Fufeng went to pick up the bride, and relatives of the Qu family came one after another.

Qu Zhishuang, the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Qu family who married the son of Marquis Changping, also returned.

Second wife Yang was a little confused: "Where is Nian'er? Why didn't she come back with you?"

"What? Nian'er didn't come back? I ordered someone to send her back the day before yesterday." Qu Zhishuang was surprised.

"No way. It was clearly you who sent a message, saying that Nian'er should stay for a few more days and come back together on Fufeng's wedding day." Yang suddenly became anxious.

The youngest daughter Qu Zhinian went to the Changping Marquis Mansion to visit her sister Qu Zhishuang a few days ago and has not returned yet.

"How is that possible? I clearly asked someone to send her back." Qu Zhishuang's face also changed.

"I will send someone back to the Marquis' Mansion to ask what exactly happened. Mother, don't worry. Today is the fourth cousin's wedding day. Please don't make it public, so as not to ruin his marriage."

Yang, who was extremely anxious, heard her eldest daughter's words and thought they made sense.

Qu Fufeng is now the future hope of the Qu family, and their descendants will have to rely on his care in the future. If she ruins his wedding banquet, her father-in-law will definitely not forgive her.

"Then send someone back to ask right away." Yang urged.

"Well, don't worry, mother. I will ask the maid to go back and ask the boy who delivered the message that day." Qu Zhishuang comforted her mother and pulled her to sit aside.

Their position was right next to Lu Li.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the melon-eating system started to ring.

[Huh? How come Qu Fufeng gets married and still gets to eat melons? ]

Lu Li was very confused.

Lu Qi didn't react at first, thinking there was a melon on the table, but she looked around and couldn't find it.

After a while, I heard my sister's inner voice and realized that I had misunderstood.

[Oh my god, this cousin Qu Fufeng is such a ruthless person. ]

Lu Qi glanced at Qu Zhishuang subconsciously.

【That’s too bad. 】

[You imprisoned your own sister and lied to your mother that you had sent her back.]

Lu Li learned the full story of the incident and gained a new understanding of Qu Zhishuang's viciousness.

【Is this the legendary saying that one should not judge a person by his appearance?】

[Qu Zhishuang looks gentle and kind, but in fact she is a vicious woman who harmed her own sister.]

She looked at Qu Zhishuang angrily.

Qu Zhishuang noticed Lu Li's gaze and felt a little confused.

What did the Ninth Princess look at her doing?

Although she didn't understand why, she forced a flattering smile and looked at Lu Li.

But Lu Li had already seen through her true colors, so how could he care about her?

Lu Li snorted and turned away from her.

"Shuang'er, have you offended the Ninth Princess?" Yang also saw this scene.

"No. The Ninth Princess and I have only met a few times." Qu Zhishuang shook her head in confusion.

"That's good. Don't mess with the Ninth Princess no matter who you mess with." Yang warned.

"My daughter knows." Qu Zhishuang nodded.

Lu Qi saw that her ninth sister looked very angry, but she didn't know what had happened specifically. She could only guess from her thoughts and learned that Qu Zhishuang had imprisoned her own sister Qu Zhinian.

But she had no idea why she was imprisoned or what Qu Zhinian's current situation was.

"Xiaojiu, why did the wife of the Marquis of Changping make you angry?" Lu Qi asked in a low voice.

"Second sister, she is a bad woman." Lu Li put her hands together and whispered into Lu Qi's ear what she had seen.

Lu Qi took a breath of cool air.

Qu Zhishuang is too heartbroken. That's her own sister.

No, this must be informed to the Qu family as soon as possible.

But if the secret is leaked out, that won't do. After all, today is Qu Fufeng's wedding day and it can't be ruined by her.

If we don’t send someone to rescue Qu Zhinian sooner, who knows how much torture this third daughter of the Qu family will have to endure.

"Second sister, what should we do?" Lu Li's face was wrinkled.

I came to the feast happily, but who would have thought that I would eat such a big melon.

"Don't worry, Xiaojiu, just have fun. Leave this matter to Second Princess." Lu Qi touched her head.

"Great!" With her words, Lu Li felt much more relieved.

With the second princess around, this matter will definitely be resolved.

Lu Qi glanced at Yang's mother and daughter and decided to tell Yang about this later.

After all, Qu Zhinian is her biological daughter, so it is reasonable for her to go to her house to ask for her help.

Although she was a princess, she was imprisoned in a dark room in the Marquis of Changping's mansion, and it was not easy for her to bring people in.

If you want to break in, you must have a reasonable reason.

In that case, she could only tell everyone that Qu Zhinian was imprisoned and injured, but if this matter became known to everyone, how would Qu Zhinian live in the capital in the future?

Not long after, the maid that Qu Zhishuang sent to the Marquis' Mansion came back.

"Reporting to the Second Madam, the Third Miss is not in the Marquis' Mansion. The servant who sent her back home that day went out of the city yesterday to do some work for the Young Master. He accidentally fell into the river and drowned." The maid showed a look of horror.

"What?" Yang was so shocked that she staggered and almost fell off the chair.

"Mother, please be careful." Qu Zhishuang hurriedly supported her.

"What should I do? Will Nian'er be in trouble?" Yang trembled.

"No, sister, good fortune will come to you. Don't panic. I will go back and ask the prince to send more people to look for my sister." Qu Zhishuang comforted her.

"Keep calm and don't let anyone see that something is wrong. If you ruin your cousin's wedding banquet, your aunt will be very angry with you, and your grandfather will be furious too."

After hearing what her eldest daughter said, Yang came to her senses and tried her best to remain calm.

She held her daughter's hand and said tremblingly, "Okay, then quickly send someone to find Nian'er."

"Yes." Qu Zhishuang immediately gave the instructions.

Seeing Qu Zhishuang left her seat, Lu Qi asked someone to inform Yang that he wanted to talk to her for a moment.

Hearing that the second princess was looking for her, Yang looked at Lu Qi in surprise.

Why did the second princess want to talk to her alone for no reason?

Although the second princess's biological mother was banished to the royal temple, she had fought in the battlefield and made military achievements, and was also on good terms with the ninth princess, so it was better not to offend her.

Thinking of this, Yang stood up and followed the maid to the water pavilion nearby.

When Lu Qi saw her stand up, he greeted Lu Li.

"Xiaojiu, don't run around. Wait for me to come back."

"Okay, Second Sister!" Lu Li nodded in response.

Lu Qi asked the maid to look after Lu Li and went to look for Yang.

"I have met the second princess. I wonder what she wants from me?" Yang looked at her with confusion.

"Your daughter Qu Zhinian is still in the Marquis of Changping's mansion. You should send someone to bring her back as soon as possible." Lu Qi went straight to the point.

"What?" Yang stood still for a moment, as if nailed to the spot by an invisible force.
