Under the cover of Ruan Qingyan, Qiu Yelan finally ate meat for once. She was reluctant to leave the General's Mansion. Her heart was filled with gratitude to her brother, "How nice my cousin is! He is definitely the best cousin in the world!"
"I've been worrying about the child for so long. It is not as good as letting her eat meat." By contrast, Ruan Qingyan was not in a good mood as she was. After seeing off Qiu Yelan, he sighed to Dongran, "If I had known this, I should have laid down the rules for her. If she were obedient, I would often ask her to come here and quietly cook a meat meal for her. If she were disobedient, there would only be green vegetables and tofu!"
Dongran covered her mouth and laughed, "Your Grace is still growing up, she inevitably had some desire for food."
"Next time she comes here, let her take the parrot away. I've taught it two auspicious words. It's not easy for me. As a result, she has stared at it for a while.
The next noon, Qiu Yelan finished her class and took Qiu Qian to her room. Entering the room, she saw He Shuijin sitting leisurely on the bed under the west window. With a Chinese rose in her hand, she was playing with Whitey."Miss He?" Qiu Yelan was surprised and then scolded Chunran. "Why didn't you go to my class and call me?"He Shuijin threw the Chinese rose to Whitey at once and stood up to salute. She said smilingly, "Your Grace, don't blame them. It was me who told them not to go and disturb you. After all, there was nothing urgent. When I was waiting here, they served me well. It's just I played with your Persian cat without asking for your permission."Qiu Yelan didn't care about her playing with Whitey. This Persian cat was of good quality and was taken good care of by Su He and others. Now it was so beautiful that all the maids would like to hold it in their arms. As its real master, Qiu Yelan didn't have time to play with it and w
After Shao Yuemei arrived, although Princess Yang was full of hatred, she didn’t dare to offend Shao Yuemei. Because she was overawed by all the noble ladies who came to visit when Shao Yuemei moved her school last time. Especially, Jiang Family and Princess Yongfu. So, she only managed to maintain her dignity because Shao Yuemei came to mediate and left in a huff.When she was about to leave, she couldn’t help saying, “Yishi’s brother and father have already brought people to General’s Mansion to seek justice. After this, even Ruan Qingyan marries Yishi, he won’t be able to stay in Hanlin Academy anymore. For Yishi’s sake, best-case scenario, he will be dispatched to some remote place to be a low-level officer. He deserves this! But my poor niece doesn't!”“It sounds like Darui belongs to Yang family.” Qiu Yelan sneered, “Aunt, you’d better be discreet about your words. In case someone accuses us of having an ulterior motive. Besides, although I’m not well
At noon, in the middle room of the back yard of the Ding Family.Madame Xue was rubbing her temples. "Ge? What's she coming for?" said she.The maid replying to her knew Madame Xue did not like Ge. Ge was always cocky because she considered herself the most favorite one of Prince. The maid replied frighteningly, "Ge told me it's about Qingyan. She got an idea but was not sure of it. She came here for your suggestion.""We have discussed it. We have no choice but to let Ding Qingyan marry that girl. Ge is only a mistress. I can't believe she can propose any good idea," said Madame Xue coldly.Madame Xue knew her grandson, Ding Qingyan well. Because he himself thought that he was born in a powerful family and handsome, he liked to woo young girls.Ding Qingyan’s father, the second son of Madame Xue had died long ago. Meanwhile, Ding Qingyan was good at flattering, which made Madame Xue favor him more than others. Ding Ha
A gift granted by the emperor was caught on a prostitute's head. Surely, it was a big deal.Qiu Mengmin and Princess Yang had expected that their coming must lead to big trouble, but they had not expected that was coming.Both of them turned pale. They wanted to speak, but Ruan Qingyan shook his hand, saying, "Let's go to the point. As some stuff belonging to Old Princess Lian and my aunt have been sold in the market. I guess there might be more in the market. We both took the list of the dowry with us today. I suggest we open the boxes and check them in front of the servants. By doing so, the servants may realize that we pay close attention to the stuff and they should not do the wrongdoings again!"Check? How to check?Needless to ask for his wife's suggestion, Qiu Mengmin had known the answer. It was no.When Princess Ruan was alive, she kept a close tab on her dowry, while Old Princess Lian did not. For safety, Old
It was a warm afternoon."Where are the seventy percent? I also want to know!" said Qiu Yelan, lying on the soft bed lazily and stroking Whitey's smooth fur. "But I don't think Kang Lizhang would tell Qiu Hongzhi about it. Even if we tortured Qiu Jinzhu's and Qiu Yinzhi's servants and maids, we still couldn’t get our stuff back. It’s not helpful!"Kang Lizhang once advised Qiu Hongzhi to cooperate with her to steal Qiu Jinzhu's and her brother's stuff for money. After hearing the news, Qiu Yelan asked Kang Lizhang to sell Old Princess Lian's and Princess Ruan's dowries first — In effect, after Madame Lu died, Kang Lizhang had seen that her mother's and her private money would be dismissed.Realizing what's going on, she commanded one confidant to hide treasures in the Prince's Mansion overnight.But later, to gain Qiu Yelans’s trust, Kang Lizhang told her everything. As the Prince's Mansion of Xihe was a foe of Qiu Yelan, she was n
The next day, the Jiang Yadan and Jiang Yashuang came to the door as expectation.From beginning to end, Jiang Yashuang only said three sentences to Qiu Mengmin —"Both pieces of dowry of Old Princess Lian and Princess Ruan, together with the earnings of it for these years, you pay it with the market price to Commandery Princess Ningyi!""I'm not discussing it with you. I ask you to do as I said!""Go to hell if you couldn’t do it!"Qiu Mengmin, who even didn't have a second to greet, was dumb there and he couldn't believe what he just heard!"I am hereditary noble...""No more hereditary noble once you all die." Jiang Yadan, who started drinking tea from him entering the door until this moment, said as it was a tiny stuff, "I said that your heart is too soft. Why are you wasting time on him? Anyway, this Prince's Mansion just has so few people. If these father and son were dead, then the dowr
Although Qiu Yelan refused over and over again, Jiang Yashuang suppressed his anger and followed behind without saying a word.Both felt s/he was the wronged one. Although they were walking through the garden in the courtyard one after another, they didn't speak to each other.They heard a voice nearby when walking through a corridor. Jiang Yashuang whispered, "It seems that my brother is coming back from his entertainment... Let's shelter somewhere."Qiu Yelan ignored him, but followed him into the shadow of the rockery outside the corridor.After a moment, Jiang Yadan, who was supported by Jiang Gan, staggered through the corridor. Jiang Gan whispered, "Young master, are you going to Young Madame's room or Mistress Lu's?""Lvzhan’s. Tell Madame to cover up for me." said Jiang Yadan vaguely, "In case grandfather knows that I almost stayed at 'Jinpa Pavilion' tonight...."He played outside and came back to
"If I went to Lvzhan's room, how could you hold Commandery Princess Ningyi in your arms?" Jiang Yadan shocked everybody as soon as he opened his mouth. And he scolded his brother angrily, "Your sweetheart came to you in the middle of the night and you didn't keep her for the night. Why did you give up the opportunity? You did the same last time at Yunyi Restaurant! Are you a man of our family!"Both Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yelan were petrified, "You put the trap there?""Of course I did it!" Jiang Yadan was not ashamed of being exposed on the spot, but said proudly, "Now that you two love each other, what are you waiting for? Isn't it a nice thing to be intimate early? Both of you are like puppets. You are not tired, but all the brothers and sisters are tired of watching!"Qiu Yelan was dumbfounded, grabbing at Jiang Yashuang's robe and asked frantically, "Did the whole family see me when I was there?" Even if she were short of moral integrity,
