Since Yan Yu arrived, Qu Qiuyan had her head lowered all the time, feeling exasperated.
She had never expected things to go this way. She couldn’t figure out which part of her plan went wrong, but fortunately, she didn’t say anything to help Qu Caiyue. In this way, she couldn’t possibly be the one to blame.
Hearing the Old Lady’s words, Qu Qiuyan quickly raised her head and looked at her blankly, “Grandmother, I have no idea.”
“Follow me!” The Old Lady fell into silence for a second, suppressing her rage. After standing up, she added, “Yue, kneel here and take your time to think about what you did. Ying, you must be tired now. Go back to get some rest!”
Before, the Old Lady freed Qu Caiyue from her kneeling punishment when other people left her yard. However, she only wished she had kept Qu Caiyue kneeling on the ground. Then Qu Caiyue wouldn’t go out to make such a big scene.
Knowing the Old Lady wanted to have a talk with Qu Qiuyan in private, Qu Moying nodded at her grandmother and left with her two maids.
The Old Lady left an old maid to keep an eye on Qu Caiyue and then took Qu Qiuyan back to her yard. She seated herself on the chair in the middle of the main room and scolded Qu Qiuyan, “Kneel down!”
“Grandmother!” Qu Qiuyan fell to her knees with tears rolling in her eyes, “Grandmother, I don’t know what I did makes you angry. Please tell me.”
“Good, good. Look at what you did to your sister! What a good daughter taught by Yu!” The Old Lady let out a deep breath as she boiled with rage. “Do you really believe that I know nothing? Do you think you can get away with what happened today? Your mother is the one in charge of the whole mansion’s operation. Except for your mother, who else could allow that young master to send the gift into our mansion? No one!”

She couldn’t hide her anger toward Yu in her words.Inwardly, she blamed her son for marrying a wife like Yu, who clearly was not good at parenting her daughter. The Old Lady didn’t doubt that Yu was the one behind the drama today, and Qu Qiuyan definitely was aware of it. But even if her granddaughter knew about it, she would still choose to stand on Yu’s side and hide it from her grandmother. Thinking about it, the Old Lady felt more furious.
However, the Old Lady still believed there was something between Yan Yu and Qu Caiyue with Yu as the middleman. Without Yu’s encouragement, Yan Yu couldn’t possibly contact Qu Caiyue.
“Grandmother, Mother really has nothing to do with it. Second Sister lives in the East Mansion, and Aunt Luo should be the one taking care of her daily life. Mother should know nothing about her,” Qu Qiuyan hurriedly explained and pouted as tears dripped down her face. “Grandmother, why Mother and I should take the responsibility for Second Sister’s misbehavior?”
“You two always hang out together, and Caiyue never dares to disobey you and will do whatever you say. I know your aunt is in charge of the East Mansion, but she will never allow a lady of our family to be so shameless. If Caiyue’s name is ruined, so will be your eldest sister’s. In the same way, since you both are the ladies from the Qu Family, your reputation will be affected as well,” the Old Lady said with exasperation.
The Old Lady wondered what on earth Yu filled in Qu Qiuyan’s mind. The young lady didn’t even know that the whole family was on the same boat, sharing glory and shame together.
Luo didn’t necessarily care about Qu Caiyue’s name, but she definitely cared about her own daughter’s, especially when Qu Xuexin was at the proper age for marriage. Luo even mentioned in front of the Old Lady before that thanks to the other ladies’ good reputation, Qu Xuexin wouldn’t have any trouble finding a decent husband.
