Jiang Yashuang was holding Whitey. He was a cat person and didn't want to throw it away. In this case, he couldn't spare a hand to take Qiu Yelan's attacks, so he just watched her dash to him and beat him. Although this little Commandery Princess studied some martial arts, she was still young. With her strength, he didn't feel hurt but felt fun seeing her face turned red with anger and her teeth gritted. Jiang Yashuang bent, put Whitey on the carpet, and kicked it gently to sign to it to go away. Then he stood up to grasp Qiu Yelan's wrists.
He was about to speak, but Qiu Yelan had a good self-defense skill which compensated her weak strength. Almost at the same time when he reached her wrists, she slipped from his hands and stepped on his boot hard, saying angrily, "How dare you hit me back?"
"I...." Jiang Yashuang tried to explain but Qiu Yelan wouldn't listen. She found he didn't care about her attacks and was angrier. She stepped on his boot again, "You
Trying every means and agreeing to a lot of unfair terms, Jiang Yashuang finally managed to stop Qiu Yelan from crying. It was already dark and late. It was no longer quiet outside. Maids and old maidservants were back. They all came to invite Qiu Yelan to dinner.Qiu Yelan who was still a bit angry asked Jiang Yashuang to leave angrily, “Just go! Don’t come over anymore unless invited!”Jiang Yashuang took this as an invitation. He rubbed her long dark hair with a smile, “I will come to see you as soon as I’m free.”“Don’t touch me!” Qiu Yelan shouted in a low voice disgustedly, “I saw you touching Whitey like this just now.”“Okay. Okay. Okay. I promised.” while saying, Jiang Yashuang rubbed her again playfully. While she jumped up to beat him, he sneaked behind the screen like a fish and jumped out of the window.Leaving Qiu Yelan behind, she pounded on the table angrily, “I’m going to practice martial arts. I have
In the General's Mansion, Qiu Yelan was asking Dr. Qi when Xue Fangmi planned to use Fang Nongyan on Qiu Yelan. "No more methods?" asked Qiu Yelan urgently."No, Your Grace." replied Dr. Qi. He even did not give a prescription this time. "He is in the late period. He is close to passing away last time... In honest, for him, it's not easy. Plus, he must be miserable lying in bed now. It may be a relief for him to pass away now.""Thank you, doctor." said Qiu Yelan, being severe and speaking it after a while."You are welcome." said Dr. Qi. He was close to the Jiang Family. He vaguely knew that Jiang Yashuang liked her. Hence, he did not dare to say something serious. So, he responded only figuratively. After keeping silent for a while and asked finally, "As you have been here. You must stay here for more days."His words indeed claimed that General Ruan would pass away in several days.Seeing Dr. Qi off, Qiu Yelan shuff
Qiu Yelan walked out, thinking in confusion. She found Dongran following her after she walked a long distance. "Anything report?" she stopped to ask."Lady Ciyi has not come so far. Should we inform her?" asked Dongran lightly. "Young Earl Ling has been here helping us now. But she is absent. This is....""Ruan Ciyi is not here?" asked Qiu Yelan with a surprise. General Ruan was still alive by his last breath, but he would pass away in any minute. Ruan Ciyi, the only grandchild related by blood was not in a hurry to see him. "Did you send somebody to invite her already?"Dongran nodded. "The man came back and reported that she was a little busy now. She would be here later. But now Young Earl Ling and Qiu Nie have been here. Lady Ciyi still doesn't show up. This is...."Qiu Yelan stopped to answer her for a moment and said, "Go and invite her again." She paused and continued, "Remember, if the thing she is busy with was not urgent,
Beyond everyone’s expectation, General Ruan passed away very quietly.He had been seriously ill and was unable to speak or move. Therefore, when Ruan Qingyan and others were around, they took his pulse every now and then to make sure that he was alive.In the middle of the night Ruan Qingyan found that the thin body lying in the brocade quilt was still warm, but the chest flattened.When Doctor Qi arrived, the body had already cooled down though it was summer.“I feel sorry but please restrain your grief.” Doctor Qi knew it was just a routine when he came. Now that he was useless, he comforted Ruan Qingyan and left.At this point, Ruan Ciyi could not help crying. She was the unlucky one. She had lived an easy and cosy life for nearly twenty years before getting married, just in time to meet her grandfather’s defeat, which implicated her husband. Coming back to the capital city after more than ten years of demotion with
Fang Zijun, kneeling in the hall and sobbing, said timidly, "My clothes got dirty yesterday afternoon. I thought that was unfilial to great grandfather, so I asked wet nurse to go back with me and change clothes for me. Mom's maid Suxin gave me some delicious pastries. I remembered Uncle Ruan said Mistress Yan was having a younger brother and I would have a mate in the future, so I didn’t eat and gave them to Mistress Yan...."Fang Nongyan looked at the shocked Ruan Ciyi with a complex expression, "Ma'am?""No!" Ruan Ciyi said hastily. "Yesterday I...""Let him finish first." Since Ruan Qingyan, the host of the funeral, could not leave the hall now and Fang Nongyan's son said that in public, when Fang Nongyan suggested investigating it later, Ruan Qingyan stopped him, saying, "How can we allow the young ones to lose their virtue before my grandfather?" He insisted on a thorough investigation to find out whether Ruan Ciyi had done it or not.
Sure enough, after a few hours, Fang Zijun took advantage of his great-grandfather’s death to murder the concubine of his father and try to frame his official mother, which had been spread all over the city.Fang Nongyan thought it over and over again. He finally felt that he could marry another favorite concubine, but his only son was important. So he had to clean up Fang Zijun's biological mother, Hua, in accordance with the crime of instigating Fang Zijun to slander the lady of the house. In order to press things down quickly, he sank Hua into a river overnight.But what he did not expect was that the day after Hua sunk the river, in the Jing City, there were rumors that Ruan Qingyan was dissatisfied with his demotion for more than a decade and lost all his spirit, and he got a chance to return to the Jing City on his own. He deliberately designed Fang Zijun to slander his official mother in order to take the opportunity to get rid of Hua and Yan, so as
"Is it the Prince's Mansion of Xihe?" Qiu Yelan thought quickly for a moment and blurted it out.Fang Nongyan must not have the courage to fall out with Ruan Qingyan. Someone must have instructed him. Although it was the young lady of the Xue Family who clashed with Ruan Qingyan recently, it was Ruan Qingyan who suffered that time. No matter how crazy Miss Xue was, it would not be endless, was it?She wondered for a moment whether Miss Xue would vent her anger on Ruan Qingyan again when Jiang Yashuang refused her marriage. But now Xue Chang was about to use the death of General Ruan as a cover to catch his breath. Was Miss Xue going to cheat her own father like this?So according to normal logic, it was most likely to be the Prince's Mansion of Xihe, "Although the Empress Dowager Gu is also hostile to cousin, they should be dealing with Xue Xiang now. However, in that case, why does Fang Nongyan who is an ungrateful person go to Governor's offi
The mansion of Premier.Xue Chang's face was livid, "Were it you who asked your uncle from the same clan to instigate Fang Nongyan to sue Ruan Chunjun under my banner?""Dad, I... I didn't say that!" Although Xue Fangmi had been deeply loved by her father since childhood, she knew that in spite of Xue Chang's indulgence to her, it was impossible for him to let her make decisions on significant matters. Seeing that there was something wrong with his face at the moment, she immediately softened her tone and explained feebly, "I just said a few words about my hate towards that guy when visiting my aunt!"She tried to behave like an obedient and pitiful girl, "I guess... maybe my aunt and uncle misunderstood me?""How dare you still quibble about it?" Xue Chang had a very high prestige in court, even the Empress Dowager and the Empress had to show respect to him. However, he was very kind at home, especially to his daughters and grandd
