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,
"Cousin, listen to me, that Jiang Yadan is absolutely talking nonsense! You know that he is not a good man. How could you believe what he said?" A tearful Qiu Yelan lifted Ruan Qingyan from the grass. Jiang Yadan’s voice shouted the already fierce battle directly into the end. If Jiang Yashuang, who also wore a silk armor, had not stopped at the crucial moment, the two would both have died tonight!Even though, each of them had suffered a ruthless blow from the other. Now they were either vomiting blood or in a coma, losing their combat power for the while.Seeing this scene, Qiu Yelan skipped towards Ruan Qingyan on one foot without hesitation. Ruan Qingyan would not go into a coma even after spitting a few mouthfuls of blood. He felt her pulse to see if she was pregnant. He took a long breath and wanted to say something. However, he just moved his thin lips stained with blood and tilted his head!"Cousin?!" Qiu Yelan's voice changed into a te
Old people are usually light sleepers, as was with Madame Tao.She woke up as usual and groomed. Then her confidant, the old maid Mom Hu, came in. After the other maids were sent away, she whispered to her what had happened last night. Although Jiang Yadan believed that the guards dared not leak out anything, it would be ridiculous that Old Madame Tao should be deceived by a grandson in the residence."Does anyone else know about this?" Madame Tao asked, frowning.Hu whispered, "The young master gave the ban and the younger brother found a reason that he was injured in practice... No one knows yet.""Then just treat it as if nothing happened." Madame Tao said immediately.Seeing Mom Hu wanted to say something, Madame Tao sighed, "Why? Can't you do it?""It's not that." Hu responded instantly, "You said it didn't happen. How could it be let out?" She hesitated and said, "I just think the Commandery Princess
The next day, Ruan Qingyan did not come here in person. It was said that when he was playing martial arts with a guard, he was injured by the guard and had to recuperate for a few days before he could get up. However, Lian Jianhai came here accompanied by his son, Lian Ding. After a few words of greeting, they brought up the business directly.What the father and his son of the Lian Family said was not as aggressive as Ruan Qingyan, but their polite attitude could hardly hide their toughness.Qiu Mengmin and his wife knew that it must have something to do with the current troubles of the Ding family and the Yang family, as well as the brothers of the Jiang family and Chunfu Princess successively came forward to support Qiu Yelan. These people and events had given the Lian family sufficient confidence. These were the people who wanted to have a closer relationship with Qiu Yelan.And the Prince's Mansion of Xihe once again became their petition.
