Chapter 148 (Part 2) ~ Dreams Shot, Rumors Broken

Qu Fei Qing listened to Yun Qian Meng seriously who was commenting on the people on the portrait. She suddenly raised her hand and pinched the pink cheeks of Yun Qian Meng. She said, "You understand my mind, so don't mess with me with grandmother."

Yun Qian Meng could help but grin, but her heart was still deeply worried about Qu Fei Qing.

Matriarch Gu was choosing a husband for Qu Fei Qing so quickly. She was afraid that Matriarch Gu wanted Qu Fei Qing to marry the ordinary officials who are innocent. But it is better than letting Qu Fei Qing enter the palace.

Moreover, even if Qu Fei Qing was lucky enough to escape the scandal yesterday, who knows that there might be still more difficult problems to solve? It would be better to let Qu Fei Qing marry before the next action of Empress Dowager, in order to dissipate her plans.

However, if the rumors are not stopped and if they flow out of the palace, then Qu Fei Qing marrying even ordinary officials might be difficult. She was afraid that it will become an excuse for the people who have the heart to attack the Fu Guo Gong Fu.

How to stop rumors from spreading and how to preserve Qu Fei Qing's reputation and how to let the Fu Guo Gong Fu not to become a victim of the political struggle. At this time, Yun Qian Meng's brain was busy thinking these about three points

.

"Hey, even Meng'er said so, you can't be self-willed now. You are already seventeen. Look at the whole Xi Chu. Who of your age is still unmarried?" Yun Qian Meng was really supporting Qu Fei Qing's marriage. So, Matriarch Gu immediately joined her to persuade Qu Fei Qing.

Just thinking of the age of Qu Fe Qing, it is really enough for Matriarch Gu and Ji Shu Yu to have a headache. In Xi Chu, a family's daughter will usually marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen and have a child after marrying. But Qu Fei Qing's identity was special. Even if they were to privately fix her marriage, it would still require Empress Dowager's approval. But if the Empress Dowager does not approve, she was afraid that not only the marriage will end, but it will also destroy the reputation of Qu Fei Qing. Now that she was seventeen years old, so her marriage can no longer be dragged down. Thinking about these things the heart of Matriarch Gu was hurting. So she was determined to plan to play first. First, let the marriage be fixed. Then even Emperor Yu Qian Di could not interfere in this type of affair.

Qu Fei Qing did not understand the good intentions of her grandmother and the mother. Especially if her big brother had not saved her last night, her face would have gone. Let alone hide and cry, she might not be able to live nicely. 

Just looking at the strange picture in front of her, Qu Fei Qing's heart was bitter and unbearable. Compared to her own feelings, it was difficult for her to make a choice. She can only bow her head and endure silently holding tears in her eyes.

"Grandmother, let me talk to my cousin. I believe that my cousin will understand the good intentions of the grandmother." Yun Qian Meng rolled up the scrolls in her hand and put them on the table. Le Yao temporarily took those pictures up.

Matriarch Gu looked at Ji Shu Yu. Seeing that Qu Fei Qing look lonely while Yun Qian Meng was calm, she nodded. With the help of Ju Shu Yu, she left the Yu Xuan Pavilion.

"Meng'er, I don't want to marry. Can't I stay in the Fu Guo Gong Fu for the rest of my life? Even if my big brother becomes the master of Fu Gong Guo Fu, I don't think he will drive me out." She felt very uncomfortable in her heart. Her grandmother left with her mother, and Qu Fei Qing immediately raised her head and revealed her eyes full of tears.

Yun Qian Meng saw her like this, her heart was so softened. She lifted her arm and held her hand to wipe the tears from the eyes of Qu Fei Qing. After repeated thoughts in the heart, this opened up "Ying Qiu, Yuan Dong, Le Yao, you go to the door do not allow anyone in."

"Yes, Madam." All of them at the same time, and then walked out of the room cautiously and guarded outside.

However, Yun Qian Meng went close to Qu Fei Qing, and she utterly whispered the rumors in the palace.

"What did you say?" Qu Fei Qing exclaimed. She was stunned staring at Yun Qian Meng with disbelief. Her body trembled involuntarily. But she was already mad.

At this time, Yun Qian Meng's face was dignified and smothered. It was not like the gentleness and elegance of Matriarch Gu and Ji Shu Yu. The whole person was surrounded by seriousness.

Looking at such Yun Qian Meng, Qu Fei Qing understood that Yun Qian Meng cannot make such a lie to scare her. Her heart suddenly flashed and her handheld the table tightening her grip.

Seeing Qu Fei Qing scared, Yun Qian Meng sat with her on her side and whispered to her comfortably, "Cousin, nothing is chaotic right now. I just don't want cousin to be in dark." 

At this time, Qu Fei Qing was sitting on the side of Yun Qian Meng, but her mind was completely blank. It was not that she was not smart enough, but now that she encountered such a thing she did not know what to do.

At this time, such rumors were only rumored in the palace. But if it is spread out of the palace, she will have no face to see people. She was afraid of implicating her family. 

Qu Fei Qing looked very pale. The only thing she could do was to grab the arms of Yun Qian Meng and shake her lips to seek the trust of others, "Meng'er.....I did not....not me....I came back with my brother last night."

Saying this, the tears fell down from Qu Fei Qing's eyes. She was still confused how can she be involved when she was not even present.

Yun Qian Meng looked at the jade hands holding her own arms, feeling the tremors of Qu Fei Qing's whole body, her heart grew cold. Holding Qu Fei Qing's body, she whispered to make her cousin a little relaxed, "We will definitely figure out a way and prove cousin's innocence."

Some things, not to avoid others, will let go, even if there is nothing, as long as there is a heart, others can also distort the facts and harm others. The twisted and deformed human nature in this palace is already confusing. I am afraid that they have taken the initiative. Then there is no other way!

Qu Fei Qing had already become a tearful person. Her heart was not calm. After all, when an unmarried woman is rumored to be involved with a man, people will look at her with disgust and distain. Even if she died they will not pity her.

At this time, Qu Fei Qing was bound in a mess of rules and regulations. She could only cry on the shoulders of Yun Qian Meng silently.

Yun Qian Meng patted her back, but her eyes were cold. She quickly thought about the ways to comfort Qu Fei Qing.

"Madam." At this time, Le Yao opened the curtain and walked in. She looked at her own lady crying on Yun Qian Meng's shoulder. The smile on her face suddenly disappeared. She moved toward Yun Qian Meng and Qu Fei Qing.

Yun Qian Meng continued to soothe Qu Fei Qing's emotions. Looking at Le Yao, her eyes were full of worry and anxiety. She asked, "What is it?"

"When I was returning, I learned from the guards and came to report that Mister Han Che from Han Lin Academy is at the gate of the Fu Guo Gong Fu." Seeing Yun Qian Meng asking, Le Yao immediately answered.

"Han Che from Han Lin Academy?" Hearing the name of Han Che, Yun Qian Meng was solemn and her eyes flashed a little puzzled expression. Then she looked at Qu Fei Qing, who was still shedding tears. Her heart darkened. She softly handed Qu Fei Qing to Yuan Dong to let her take care of Qu Fei Qing, and she stood up and asked Le Yao, "Where is he?"

"He is still in the Yun Ge Pavilion." Le Yao walked towards the wooden frame, and put a cloth into the basin to soak it, squeezing it out, and then went to the side of Qu Fei Qing, gently dressing her swollen eyes.

"Yuan Dong, I am going to the Yun Ge Pavilion." Seeing Qu Fei Qing sobering up, Yun Qian Meng gave her a soothing look. Then she left Yuan Dong and Ying Qiu behind in the Yu Xuan Pavilion.
