Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 107 Treasure Map, Aunt Yu’s Death (3)
Aunt Yu lowered her eyes and coughed softly, "Who is Hongca? I have never seen it before."

Qiu Mingyue's brows and eyes were unwavering, only a slight mockery glowed on her lips.

"My aunt doesn't even know that I have medical skills. The only ones who know about it are Red Calyx and Green Kite. Yuan." She turned her head to look at Aunt Yu, with her head slightly lowered, her eyes rolling like water.However, under the clear water, there are many darkness surrounding it.

"Green kite has been with me since I was a child. Sincerely, I naturally believe it. If you don't have a special relationship with her, it is absolutely impossible for her to tell you this secret."

Aunt Yu raised her head to meet her eyes, and smiled slowly.

"Ming Rong, Ming Yun, you go out first." She waved her hand.

Qiu Mingrong looked at Qiu Mingyue hesitantly, then bowed his head in response, and walked out silently with Qiu Mingyun.

Only then did Aunt Yu look up at Qiu Mingyue, "Fifth Miss is very confident in the people around you."

Qiu Mingyue calmly smiled, "Isn't Aunt Yu the same?" She rolled her eyes and smiled lightly.

"I've been here for so long, but I haven't disturbed Third Aunt. Isn't this due to Aunt Yu's proper arrangement?"

Aunt Yu raised her head, looked at each other, and then each smiled.

"Mingrong finally made a correct choice. Following Miss Fifth, I will definitely not suffer in the future."

Qiu Mingyue squinted at a pot of peonies placed on the window rail.

"Don't Aunt Yu know? The beauty of peonies must be displayed in the sun. Otherwise, no one will appreciate it for a long time, and it will be sad and wither."

This is a metaphor for people with flowers.Aunt Yu naturally heard clearly.The corners of her eyes flickered slightly, and the smile on her lips remained unchanged.

"Hong'e is my distant niece."

Qiu Mingyue turned her head, with a trace of searching and sizing in her calm eyes.

"Hong'e has been with me since I was a child. But you are far away in the capital." She didn't immediately deny it, but the skeptical attitude in her words was self-evident.

Aunt Yu lowered her head and coughed lightly, "Mrs. Shen arranged for Hongye to be beside Miss Fifth, right?" This sentence is an affirmative sentence, not a question sentence.

Qiu Mingyue's expression changed slightly, with a cold light in her eyes.

"what for?"

Aunt Yu smiled, her face became paler, but her eyes were piercing.

"Miss Fifth, do you know why Mrs. Xue Guohou didn't marry the Qiu Mansion before the eldest lady got married, but chose today?"

Qiu Mingyue narrowed her eyes, "What do you want to say?"

Aunt Yu lowered her eyes, her smile was gentle and transparent.

"The power behind the eldest prince is already huge enough, and the old man has never participated in any prince battles. Even the marriage between Xue Guohou's mansion and Qiu mansion will not change anything. What's more..." She paused, her face paler.

"If it's really just a marriage, is it necessary for the son to come in person? Since ancient times, marriages have always followed the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. If Mrs. Xue Guohou is determined to let the son marry a girl from the Qiu family, there are so many unmarried ladies in the Qiu family. It's not the eldest lady's daughter, but there are others too. Otherwise, you think Mrs. Xue Guohou clearly sensed something different about yesterday's incident, but she didn't take any action."

She paused at this point, and then said: "With Miss Fifth's intelligence, I'm afraid she has suspected it for a long time."

Qiu Mingyue's face became colder and colder, "If it wasn't for today, I would never have known that the real dusty pearl was in this Bisong Garden. Aunt Yu, you really surprised me."

Aunt Yu leaned back, her expression became more and more pale, like mist.

"Fifth Miss is wise enough to show her wisdom, how can I dare to be above her?"

Qiu Mingyue fixedly looked at her, "What do you know?" She doubted Xue Yuhua's purpose, just because he wanted to marry her a concubine for no reason was enough to make her doubt.And that Feng Qingli, who often came to look for her, An Zhi had some other purpose.Aunt Yu pursed her lips, her eyes were like the morning glow reflecting the moon, and the brilliance was not lacking in the darkness of the night.

"Fifth Miss knows that after the fall of the previous dynasty, there has been a legend circulating."

Qiu Mingyue's expression was still indifferent, "Since it is a legend, it is not enough to win people's trust." She looked down at Aunt Yu slightly, with a smile on her lips, and her eyes dimmed.

"I thought that Aunt Yu was a perceptive person, but when did she believe these unfounded and purely hearsay?"

"There may be a reason for it." Aunt Yu still had a smile in her eyes, but her eyes were slightly cold.

"Besides, this is not just a legend."

Qiu Mingyue pursed her lips, watching the cigarette smoke rising from the twig eight-treasure incense burner, her eyes were also like the empty clouds, illusory and unreal.

"After all, Empress Ruixian was indeed the richest man in the world in the previous dynasty. Since she and Emperor Tiansheng left the palace, that huge fortune has also disappeared."

"Later, there was a legend that Empress Ruixian hid the incomparably rich property in a secret place, the so-called treasure place. It is inevitable that in the future, people with bad intentions will use the treasure to have evil thoughts. Empress Ruixian gave the map of the treasure Divide it into three, give it to different people respectively, and pass it on from generation to generation."

"The founding emperor Taizu of this dynasty led his troops to attack the palace when the dynasty was in turmoil in the last years of the country, but found a map in the Fengqi Palace of the last empress."

Qiu Mingyue's expression still didn't fluctuate much, "I didn't expect Aunt Yu, a housewife, to know these court secrets. It really opened my eyes."

Aunt Yu's smile was clear and shallow, "Fifth Miss is calm and unhurried, which makes this concubine feel ashamed."

Qiu Mingyue lowered her eyes, but there was a hint of sarcasm on her lips.

"I'm curious, Aunt Yu is so talented, don't you feel aggrieved by being a concubine like this?"

Aunt Yu's eyes darkened, "It's a great honor for me to be a humble concubine today. How can we talk about grievances?"

This is the tragedy of women in this era!You can never say no to the shackles of etiquette, and you will always only know obedience and dependence.

Qiu Mingyue shook hands, "Aunt Yu took a lot of trouble to lure me here today, so she was just chatting with me, right?"

"Of course not." Aunt Yu smiled, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss Fifth, where are the other two maps?"

Qiu Mingyue looked at her indifferently, with a slight smile on her lips.

"Aunt Yu won't want to tell me that Qiufu also has a share?"

Aunt Yu nodded, "Fifth Miss is really smart."

Qiu Mingyue's complexion finally changed slightly, and a trace of Ling Li appeared in her phoenix eyes.

"Aunt Yu has lived in the inner house in the backyard for a long time, so she should know what to say and what not to say? Aunt Yu should refrain from mentioning such nonsense and nonsense. Otherwise, it will cause a big disaster, not only for you, but for the whole autumn. The government has to be buried with him. Naturally, your two daughters are also included."
