Chapter 125 The Funeral
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
The Counterattack of the Downcast Queen Chapter 128 The Person Behind the Scenes
"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
The Counterattack of the Downcast Queen Chapter 130 Allow to Be Buried in Emperor's Tomb
At the time, a couple had two ways to get a divorce. One was a peaceful divorce; the other was not an amicable divorce. Literally, if couples got a divorce peacefully, they might still be friends in the future. The husband might write some blessings on the divorce letter. But if a couple got a divorce by the latter one, they probably would want to kill each other if they met again.So, for a couple, to get a divorce through the second way was not easy. The officials might not approve the couple to get a divorce in this way if they could not provide sufficient evidence or they insisted on this way regardless of public opinion.This was Ruan Qingyan's ultimate aim. Actually, he did not trust the Fang Family. Through Fang Zijun's manner, we could say that he was not just a naughty and canny boy but a man. The Fang Family must not be a good one. Or how could a couple teach their child to behave like Fang Zijun?If let Ruan Ciyi and Fang Nongyan ado

Unlike what Qiu Yelan had expected, Ruan Qingyan didn't go straight to her and lecture her. Instead, after he came back to Jing City from burying General Ruan in the Emperor's tomb, he didn't come to Qiu Yelan in half a month!The reason is simple: he was so busy!He had to thank the emperor, receive the guests, especially General Ruan's old contacts who had rarely visited him when he had been alive, and follow the end of the conflicts between the Ding Family and the Yang Family. This result was a relief for Xue Chang. As he had expected, his insisting on posthumously awarding General Ruan led Empress Dowager's party to suspect he wanted to seize upon the defeat of General Ruan that year, so their attention to the Ding Family and the Yang Family was distracted to a more important thing, the military command of the Western Army.The final result of the conflicts between the Ding Family and the Yang Family was that Ding Yiming, the head of Hanlin

Seeing Qiu Feng’s thoughtful look, Qiu Yelan raised her hand in a hurry trying to clear her name, “I really don’t know he is over there!”“Okay.” Qiu Feng nodded and said to Jiang Yashuang flatly, “General Jiang, your kung fu is extraordinary. I always think I have quite good sight and hearing. But I wasn’t aware of your existence at this short distance.”“I have just arrived.” Jiang Yashuang smiled to him and said gently, “Besides, you were clearly distracted by Yelan. Otherwise, you would have detected.”“And it’s also because you know this place well.” hearing Jiang Yashuang pointing out his identity frankly, his eyes contracted a little and then went back to normal. He looked at the bottom of his clothes and said, “When I just got here, the dew on my clothes was as much as it was on yours. However, I’m not looking down on you. I have been going through the rigors of living in the wilderness since I was a kid. I’m used to walking in the dark

"..." Qiu Yelan cursed in his heart. She stood up and kicked Jiang Yashang heavily, ''That's why you want to get rid of me while we are drinking? You must know that you would be defeated at last! I thought you could drink much, but you can’t instead. I should have done it by myself if I had known it in the first place."Qiu Feng did not respond to her words. He asked directly, "Where is his home? I will send him home. Your Grace, you should go home too." This was a fiasco."He doesn’t need you to send him. Here is his home!" The fact proved that Qiu Yelan's sympathy was as much as Jiang Yadan's. After realizing that Jiang Yashuang would be alive, she went back to her seat indifferently. "Let's continue. I will follow you!" screamed she.Certainly, Qiu Feng would reject it."Your Grace, stop!" he warned with a frown.Qiu Yelan did not respond to him. She ran to the corner, getting another bottle of wine in her hand. She
