Chapter 148 (Part 1) ~ Dreams Shot, Rumors Broken
All the way to the Fu Guo Gong Fu, under the guidance of the butler, Yun Qian Meng and Chu Fei Yang were transported between the exquisite Pavilions. They were just watching the butlers lead them to Yu Xuan Pavilion where Qu Fei Qing was residing. In the direction, Chu Fei Yang stood still, smiling and said to Yun Qian Meng, "Meng'er, you go to Yu Xuan Pavilion. I will be going to the Yun Ge Pavilion."
Yun Qian Meng knew that it would be inconvenient for Chu Fei Yang to enter the women's place. She also knew that Chu Fei Yang also had something to ask Qu Chang Qing. So she nodded and let the butler accompany Chu Fei Yang to the Yun Ge Pavilion. And she went towards the Yu Xuan Pavilion.
"Young Madam Chu, at this time Old Matriarch Gu and Madam are inside the Yu Xuan Pavilion." The little girl who was leading the way said in a respectful manner.
"What is the mood of the grandmother and the aunt today?" The rumors were only limited to the palace now, but it was difficult for Matriarch Gu and Ji Shu Yu to calm down in this type of situation. Even Yun Qian Meng who has always been calm and self-conscious was anxious.
After all, if the rumor has already reached the ears of Matriarch Gu and others, then the other families related to the palace are also already aware of it. As a result, the purpose of the people behind the scenes is to use these rumors to ruin Qu Fei Qing. Even if the Fu Gong Gong Fu doted on Qu Fei Qing, she was afraid that for the face of the family, they had to marry Qu Fei Qing to Prince Rui.
Such a vicious mind! Either it is the Emperor Yu Qian Di operating in the dark or it is the Empress who is dissatisfied and wants to send Qu Fei Qing into the palace. In order to make her plans successful, she directly led Qu Jing Qing to carry such a black pot [1]. Or is there anyone else who can't see the Fu Guo Gong Fu prosperous and deliberately planned against it?
A series of doubts and problems arose in the heart of Yun Qian Meng while walking in the road from the garden to the Yu Xuan Pavilion. Standing in the door of Yu Xuan Pavilion, Yun Qian Meng put away these things from her mind and improved her expression, and displayed a courageous expression with a smile.
"Young Miss, Young Madam Chu is here." Le Yao entered the inner room as soon as Yun Qian Meng stepped on the attic.
"Quickly let her in." Qu Fei Qing was being troubled by her grandmother and her mother at this time. Seeing Le Yao reminded her about the arrival of Yun Qian Meng, she immediately stood up and walked quickly along with Le Yao towards the door.
Matriarch Gu and Ji Shu Yu looked at her as she fled, and they shook their heads helplessly. They just let the squats on the side of the table roll up the scrolls on the table. They maintained their position of the curtain waiting for Yun Qian Meng.
Yun Qian Meng went to the inner room with a swift movement. But she suddenly found the sorrowful environment inside the room. Seeing Matriarch Gu and the Ji Shu Yu frowning, Yun Qian Meng just faintly smiled. "Meng'er respects grandmother, aunt, and cousin."
After that, she went towards Matriarch Gu and Ji Shu Yu.
"How come you are free? Is your mother-in-law better now?" Seeing Yun Qian Meng coming towards them, Matriarch Gu immediately took her to sit down and said, "You can not be too hard on yourself. There are some things that can be done by the servants also. Don't be exhaust yourself. Look at your little face, it is so pale."
Matriarch Gu let the servant pour a cup of hot tea to Yun Qian Meng and let her warm-up.
Yun Qian Meng saw Matriarch Gu talking to her, she knew that they have not heard the news from the palace. She smiled and said, "Grandmother does not have to worry. Meng'er is all right. When I went to see the mother she had a fever, but she hasn't woken up yet. Old Madam Wen and her two daughters-in-law are also there. And there are doctors guarding mother. I think the mother will definitely be fine. There are so many people there. They will not be noisy since the mother is still sick."
Yun Qian Meng was like before the marriage, pulling the arm of Matriarch Gu slightly shaking. She is calmer and smarter than before which is a good thing.
"You!" Matriarch Gu could only reach out to her forehead, put Yun Qian Meng into her arms, "Meng'er, don't blame the grandmother. Grandmother has observed your mother-in-law several times. Although she does not have the slightest temper and is always wearing a smile, such a person must be dealt with more carefully. And this time there were bandits on the official road to attack the chariot of the Chu Household. What kind of bandits are so courageous to even dare to attack the carriage of the Chu Household? You have to be very careful. You must not be blinded by other people's rhetoric. Moreover, if Prince Chu has the heart to withdraw, I am afraid that Chu Household can not be even in the future. You are the granddaughter-in-law of Prince Chu. So you should pay more attention to your words and deeds. And you must be able to recognize the wrong people." These words were spoken by Matriarch Gu to advise Yun Qian Meng.
Matriarch Gu and Prince Chu are the people of the same generation. Many old people don't know the past, but she knows it clearly. Although they can't speak clearly in front of the juniors, Matriarch Gu knows what is best. She wanted Yun Qian Meng to understand the meaning of her words.
And Yun Qian Meng was also listening seriously. She remembered every sentence very carefully. Then she nodded cautiously and seriously said, "Meng'er will remember the grandmother's teachings. I will remember my identity and prevent others with bad intentions to harm my family."
Seeing Yun Qian Meng being obedient and saying sensible things, Matriarch was satisfied. She smiled just remembering that there was still a disobedient at home, she complained slightly to Yun Qian Meng, "If your cousin had half of your sensibility, I could have rest assured even if I close my eyes."
"What is grandmother saying? Grandmother will be able to live for a hundred years, and when is this granddaughter not sensible?" Qu Fei Qing saw her grandmother started again, and then hurriedly stood up and refused to refute.
It was just that she was eager to clarify, but all the people in the room laughed. Even the girl who was waiting on the side of the room couldn't help but grin. She only thought that her miss was cuter and cuter.
Ji Shu Yu held her standing up daughter to sit down again and gently reached out to her daughter's forehead and jokingly said, "See your eager temper. When can you become steady? Today, I am fortunate not to scold you, otherwise the roof of the Fu Guo Gong Fu will be smashed by you."
Ji Shu Yu's words also led to a burst of laughter inside the house, but also let Qu Fei Qing speechless.
Yun Qian Meng put her gaze on the table when everyone was laughing. When she saw a few people sitting around the round table with a roll of good paintings, she was curious. "What is this? Grandmother, were you painting?"
It's just that there were too many paintings. Generally, ladies and gentlemen of the family can appreciate only a painting for a whole day, not to mention that there were so many paintings. It will take one or two months to appreciate all of them.
When Qu Fei Qing heard Yun Qian Meng's question, her cheeks couldn't help but turn red. When she reached out and picked up the pile of scrolls in front of her, she wanted to leave, but Ji Shu Yu's eyes quickly spotted her action and she grabbed. After Qu Fei Qing sat down, and she smiled and looked at Yun Qian Meng, "Yes, but this painting is not a landscape painting. It is the paintings of the future husband chosen by the aunt for your cousin. This girl looked at these paintings for half-day, but still, she is not satisfied with anyone. I am really anxious to death. I don't know how to make her satisfied."
Listening to Ji Shu Yu's words, Yun Qian Meng was slightly stunned, and her eyes immediately turned to Qu Fei Qing, who had to sit down. She saw her looking at herself at the same time, and she knew the awkwardness and reluctance in Qu Fei Qing's heart.
Yun Qian Meng smiled at Qu Fei Qing, and immediately took a roll of pictures. A portrait of a beautiful man immediately impressed her. Matriarch Gu's love for Qu Fei Qing is really true.
Imagine, what kind of grandmother will do this for their granddaughter?
Before the man is married, he will only see the portrait of the bride. But this portrait not only had the appearance of people but also the information of their families was written clearly. It is obvious that Matriarch Gu really spent a lot of thought on this. It was a really unique kind of thing.
Yun Qian Meng slightly flipped her wrist, and the portrait in her hand was placed in front of Qu Fei Qing. At the same time, she whispered, "Cousin, this person is really a good candidate. You take a look. Maybe he will be able to satisfy you. And this person's family is also simple and he does not have many relatives in Fu Chu. Cousin, you can marry without having to face too many people and things."

[1] - to carry a black pot means to let her bear a bad reputation. In ancient eras, reputation was everything for women. So ruining a woman's reputation was considered as ruining her whole life.
