Chapter 180 – Granny Yan, Who Was Insistent On Etiquette Education

Chapter 180 Granny Yan, Who Was Insistent on Etiquette Education

Was it this Dowager Consort Qu who she had never heard of?

After thinking about it, Qu Qiuyan felt that this matter was still related to Dowager Consort Qu. For so many years, Dowager Consort Qu had never contacted her family. Therefore, Qi Qiuyan had never heard of such a person. Now, after Qu Moying returned to the mansion, she suddenly appeared.

Could it be that she appeared because of Qu Moying?

This was not a good thing for Qu Qiuyan. She frowned and waved her hand. “Go and find out more.”

“Yes, I will go now.” The old maid nodded.

Qing Ju sent the old maid off. When they reached the door, she took out a pouch from her sleeves, and the old maid took it. She smiled so widely that all her teeth could be seen. She then thanked Qing Ju repeatedly and left in a hurry.

Qing Ju turned around and saw that Qu Qiuyan was still deep in thought. She stood behind Qu Qiuyan and remained silent.

“When will my cousin sister come over?” Qu Qiuyan suddenly asked after pondering for a moment.

“The day after tomorrow,” Qing Ju replied.

Qu Qiuyan nodded and asked, “Has Madam arranged everything?”

“Aunty Hai Lan said that there will definitely be no more mistakes this time.” Qing Ju said.

“Every time she says this, she always makes mistakes. This time, we can’t let them ruin things again. Qing Ju, you should arrange it according to my arrangements.” Qu Qiuyan snorted coldly. She did not completely believe in Yu’s arrangements.

She did not want Qu Moying to override her again. There was only one most-respected lady in Qu Mansion, and that was Qu Qiuyan. No one else could be the most-respected lady.

All of Qu Mansion’s focus should only be on her…

In the evening, Granny Yan came to the door of Qu Moying’s main room.

“I’d like to see the Fourth Lady.” Standing outside the door, Granny Yan said with a solemn face. Her gaze was fixed on the door, and she coldly looked at Yu Dong, who carried the curtain and walked out.

She had been in the mansion for several hours and had observed everything about the yard. She found that everything about the yard was clean and in order. There were some differences from what she had imagined. The Fourth Lady Qu did not seem completely incapable.

It was just that this Fourth Lady did not have much enthusiasm for her.

Granny Yan waited for a long time. She could not wait any longer. Since she was not invited, she would come over herself.

“Granny Yan, please come in. My lady is waiting inside.” Yu Dong walked out with a smile. He was not surprised at all that Granny Yan had come over by herself.

Granny Yan calmed herself down and restrained the arrogance on her face. She took a deep look at Yu Dong. She was quite surprised by Qu Moying. And the fact that Yu Dong was a maid who looked carefree but had no bad manners was also quite surprising to Granny Yan.

After entering the room, Granny Yan saw Qu Moying sitting in the middle. Her body was slightly tilted and she looked a little leisure. However, she looked a little lazy and not so well-behaved. After all, she grew up in the village. Even though she appeared decent before, it was just on the surface.

Granny Yan re-evaluated Qu Moying in her heart. Although she was better than Granny Yan had imagined, there were some things that Qu Moying did not do so well, such as sitting sluggishly now.

“What’s the matter, Granny Yan?” Seeing Granny Yan come in, Qu Moying straightened her body slightly. She naturally changed her sitting posture and straightened herself up. If Granny Yan hadn’t seen clearly just now, she would have thought that the Fourth Lady had always been putting on such a standard posture.

“Fourth Lady, when would you like to start learning the etiquette?” Granny Yan asked with a serious face.

“Let’s wait for a few days. My ankle has been sprained. I can’t learn well even though I want to,” Qu Moying said casually.

“Fourth Lady, I learned some massaging skills. How about I help you massage it? Maybe you will recover faster.” Granny Yan looked toward Qu Moying’s ankle.

The long dress hung low and covered her feet. It was impossible to see if her ankle was really sprained or if she was just pretending.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Granny Yan,” Qu Moying said gracefully.

Yu Dong helped Qu Moying to the bed by the window so that she could lie down. Yu Dong used a cushion to support her back. Then, he placed one of her feet on a small soft pillow. He carefully held her ankle and lifted the corner of her dress. Then, he removed her sock and revealed her pale and tender skin. The red swelling on it was still visible.

Although the sprain was almost healed, the swelling did not completely disappear.

She indeed hurt her ankle?

Granny Yan was very surprised. Before, she thought it was fake, but she did not expect it to be true.

Fortunately, she was also prepared, and her massage skill was indeed good. She took a few steps forward, squatted down, and gently massaged Qu Moying. Her technique was good, and Qu Moying did not feel much pain. Instead, she had a slight burning feel in the pain. She got to know that this Granny Yan was not only good at playing tricks.

After a moment of rubbing, Qu Moying’s ankle had already turned red. Granny Yan put down her hands. “Fourth Lady, you should rest for a few more days. Then it will probably heal. Dowager Consort Qu would like to invite you to the palace when your sprain is healed.”

“Alright.” Qu Moying said meekly and sat up with Yu Dong’s help.

After Granny Yan washed her hands, Qu Moying smiled and invited her to sit. “Granny Yan, have you been serving Dowager Consort Qu? How has Dowager Consort Qu been all these years? I heard from Grandmother that Dowager Consort Qu did not send anyone over here in the past. Our mansion does not dare to ask about the matters in the palace, too.”

“Dowager Consort Qu is doing very well.” Granny Yan said with a serious face.

“Is Dowager Consort Qu in need of anything? The next time my lady enters the palace, she can bring some of it for Dowager Consort Qu.” Yu Dong asked again, looking like he really wanted to curry favor with Dowager Consort Qu.

Granny Yan shook her head, “Dowager Consort Qu isn’t in need of anything. She can find whatever she wants in the palace.”

When she said this, they seemed to be unable to continue chatting.

“How is it possible that she doesn’t need anything? Dowager Consort Qu is all alone in the palace, and there are no juniors serving her. Doesn’t she want filial piety from the younger generation?” Yu Dong blinked and responded quickly.

Granny Yan was stunned by the question.

“What should I send to Dowager Consort Qu to make her happy?” Qu Moying asked lazily.

“How about something you personally make, Fourth Lady?” Granny Yan thought for a moment, and her gaze fell on Qu Moying’s face. She suddenly said, “Fourth Lady, could you remove the eye veil and let me see your eyes?”

“Granny Yan, do you even know how to treat my eye problem?” Qu Moying asked with a smile.

“I do not know how to treat an eye problem, but I can check how serious your eye problem is.” Granny Yan answered, not daring to tell a lie about treating the eye problem.

“Granny Yan, I’ll have to disappoint you. I can’t remove this eye veil for the time being. It will take some time before I can stop wearing it. Now is the critical moment. I can’t miss it even a little bit.” Qu Moying shook her head and refused Granny Yan’s request.

Because Qu Moying’s ankle sprain was right in front of her, Granny Yan did not suspect that Qu Moying was lying.

Seeing that Qu Moying was really unwilling to remove it, she could only nod helplessly. Anyway, it would only take a few days before this eye veil was removed. When the time came, she would know what this Fourth Lady Qu looked like.

Next, Granny Yan told Qu Moying about the upcoming training and its schedule. She found that Fourth Lady Qu was very easy-going. No matter what she said, Fourth Lady Qu would agree with a smile. Moreover, Fourth Lady Qu was very graceful. She was very calm and was not nervous at the fact that Granny Yan was sent by the palace to educate her.

She was much better than Granny Yan had imagined.

Granny Yan’s face now looked better.

In the end, she did not make things difficult for Qu Moying anymore. She stood up and said goodbye. She heard that Fourth Lady Qu’s body was not good, and she was indeed a little smaller in shape than the ordinary noble ladies. It was obvious that her body was not grown enough, and she needed to rest more.

After a night of silence, Qu Moying washed up after waking up the next day. After she had breakfast, Granny Yan came over. Although she did not directly teach Qu Moying the etiquette, she pointed out some shortcomings of Qu Moying. Qu Moying accepted them modestly, and she did a good job. Although she made a few mistakes, she did not make the same mistakes after that.

In just one day, the change in her was seen very soon. Granny Yan felt that Qu Moying was better than her previous students. Qu Moying could do very well with just a few pointers, as if she were one of the ladies of aristocratic families who had been educated for more than ten years.

Seeing that Qu Moying was tired, Granny Yan gave a few words of advice and left.

When Granny Yan was at the door, she suddenly saw a maid rushing over and almost bumped into her. Granny Yan disliked such an unruly thing the most. After standing still, she stopped the maid and asked coldly, “What is the matter?”

Everyone in Qianyue House now knew about this Granny Yan who looked strict and was sent by Dowager Consort Qu from the palace to educate the Fourth Lady, and no one dared to offend her.

The young maid hurriedly stood still and replied with trepidation, “Granny Yan, there is a letter for my lady.”

“Since it is a letter, you should just deliver it properly. There is no need to panic and act like this,” Granny Yan scolded.

“It’s… it’s a letter from Marquis Yongning’s Mansion.” The maid said, lowering her head. Qu Moying also heard this from inside the room. The corners of her lips curved silently. Her smile was mocking and cold. Here it came. She originally thought that Qu Qiuyan was acting too calm. She had repeatedly provoked Qu Qiuyan, but there was no reaction yet.

It seemed that this letter was really important.

However, she did not want to see it. Since Granny Yan was here, she would give it to Granny Yan! She had never had any thoughts about Xu Lipeng. She also did not think that there was anything between her and Xu Lipeng. As for Xu Lipeng, it was even more impossible for him to write her a letter.

She didn’t know who in the palace sent Granny Yan here. It would be good to use the letter to find it out.

She was certain about one thing. The palace had sure gone through a lot of trouble to send her gifts and even sent someone to teach her etiquette. The goal of doing all these was definitely not for her. She was the daughter of a mere Vice Minister, so there was no need for the noble people in the palace to put in so much effort on her. And this Granny Yan would not want anything to happen to her at this time.

That was good then!

She’d like to see how Qu Qiuyan and Yu would cause trouble for themselves…
