Fortunately, Jiang Yashuang came very soon. Qiu Yelan had no time to flirt with him but said immediately, "My aunt Madame Lian seems to have been kidnapped by your cousin Jiang Yahong!"
Jiang Yashuang was stunned. He knew his cousin very well. If he had really done it, it might be too late now. But it would be better if he went over sooner so that it could be settled sooner, so he said immediately, "I'll go to the old residence now!"
After he left, Qiu Yelan began to think about how it could be settled. Madame Lian was still young and was favored in the Lian family. She had been refusing to remarry since widowed, which showed she loved her husband so much. Qiu Yelan had met her several times these years and knew that she was staunch with moral integrity.
Wang Qingqian also said just now that she hated being gossiped about. If she were insulted by Jiang Yahong, she would definitely die for her reputation!
After all, the Lians were k
Jiang Tianao had no title of nobility at that time, and it was impossible for him to inherit the position of premier. In terms of family property, Jiang Da and Jiang Er, with the identity of being the legitimate eldest son and second son of Jiang Family, couldn’t be afraid of being unable to compete with Jiang Eleven!Conversely, Jiang Eleven should have been the person who would secretly scheme against the two brothers, right?"My eleventh brother and my third sister were born to the same mother." Jiang Yashang sighed, "My third brother-in-law, Duanrou's father, as you know… At that time, my Forth Aunt agreed to marry a daughter from Jiang Family to my third brother-in-law, but she didn't plan to choose my third sister. Instead, she wanted to choose a poor girl from her ancestral family. As a result, my First Aunt... So both my First Uncle and my Forth Aunt feel a little guilty about my third sister."Qiu Yelan understood, "In some ways, they
The next day, Ruan Qingyan looked at the invitation sent by Jiang Yashuang. He was very surprised, "I've been bothering him for the past two years. I can't believe he asked me out one day." He suspected, "Can't he stand it any longer? Is he going to get even with me?"Dongran covered her mouth and smiled, "I don't think General Jiang is such a stingy man. He has suffered a lot from you in the past two years, but he never cares about it. Last time he suffered a small loss. How could he be angry?""If he weren’t magnanimous, he would not deserve to be my brother-in-law!" Ruan Qingyan didn't feel that he was bullying others, nor did he feel wronged Jiang Yashuang. He said naturally, "In particular, Yelan is not easy to talk about. If she married a person who is not open-minded enough, she would make trouble less than a month. I already have a sister to remarry. I don't want my younger sister to be tortured when she gets married."Dongran thought t
When Jiang Yashuang invited Ruan Qingyan to negotiate, Qiu Yelan was facing the invitation in her hand and tilted her lips, "Go hiking? Can I not go hiking?""Chunfu Princess wants to introduce you to the noble girl of the Jing City." Chunran reminded, "Now, although you're not in mourning, the Princess Yang doesn't want to show you around. Even if she is willing to take you, we still have to prevent her from having a bad idea. Fortunately, Princess Chunfu invited you. How can you not go?""I also know that the personal connection needs to be managed, but think about it. Princess Chunfu invited me to Yunyi Building two years ago. She is also kind-hearted. But what happened?" Qiu Yelan hummed, "The ladies of the Jiang family all took part in the hiking organized by his Highness. Don't give me an ugly look at that time. Now my cousin won't marry Jiang's daughter again. I serve them impatiently."Xiaran said with a smile, "Please don't be angry. T
Princess Yang agreed and went back, but left Qiu Jinzhu here saying she wanted the girls to get close to each other and let Qiu Jinzhu ask Qiu Yelan what to note during the trip, "In case she may bother you.""Just pretend to be meek and lovely." Qiu Yelan was not so familiar with Chunfu Princess, so how could she know what Chunfu Princess preferred? Thus, she considered for a while with a cup of tea in her hands and told Qiu Jinzhu directly. "You are good at that, don't you?"Qiu Jinzhu nodded obediently which clearly showed that she was cautioned by Princess Yang before coming and said in a slimy tone, "I will follow every word of you, my dear cousin!""I don't care who you will fawn over, but remember this: don't make any plans against me! If you dared, I could take you out, but I couldn’t promise you can come back!" Qiu Yelan took a sip of tea. She ignored the complex expression on Qiu Jinzhu's face and put the teacup on the table, "If ther
It was just past the Lantern Festival. And it was still a few days left till their spring outing day. So, they still had time to prepare.With the help of Chunran and Xiaran who were older and more sophisticated, Su He only needed to focus on serving Qiu Yelan. While she was grinding the inkstone for Qiu Yelan, they talked about Princess Yang’s request, “They always have evil agendas against you. They try so hard to make you take the sixth Commandery Princess with you this time. I think they may be up to no good!”Qiu Yelan was looking at the ink. She nodded and said, “The ink is enough.” Su He put down the grinding rod in a hurry and wiped her hand clean. And then she rolled up Qiu Yelan’s sleeves for her.Qiu Yelan picked a purple calligraphy brush and started to write. And then she said, “I hate them too. However, since they brought up Kuang Qingwu and got Marquess Zhang into this, if I still refused, even I didn’t take Qiu Jinzhu with me, I
Qiu Yelan was convinced that although she did not know who Kuang Qingwu was, Jiang Yashuang must do.Surely enough, after Su He informed Jiang Yashuang, he came into the room through the window, which demonstrated that he did it frequently. Qiu Yelan, who was waiting for him urgently, had dismissed her maids already. They flirted with each other for minutes as usual. Finally, Qiu Yelan pinched his arm and said, "To be serious. Who is Kuang Qingwu? Why did he make trouble for my brother? I thought that the Kuang Family owes for the Ruan Family."Jiang Yashuang did not hasten to answer her. Instead, he pointed the empty teacup on the table. Qiu Yelan immediately served him tea. He picked the cup up and sipped. Then he said with satisfaction, "There is an old saying, 'If someone else is in distress and you give them little help, he will be grateful. However, if too much help is given and it creates dependency, once the help is stopped, it will cause people to
Qiu Yelan relieved after seeing Jiang Yashuang off, "Jiang Yashuang will keep an eye on Kuang Qingwu. I don't think he will make big trouble then!" After all, Kuang Qingwu was new in the capital. He needed time to get used to the environment despite the support of his father, Kuang Shihan. What's more, the Jiang Family, in effect, was more influential in the capital than his.Her concern about Deng Yi was not urgent as she thought that Jiang Yashuang could cover for her and her brother. After arranging everything, she began to ask about the preparedness of the picnic.After getting what she wanted to know, it dawned on her that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou were considerable maids indeed. Qiu Yelan asked them to prepare the stuff and food so that she could have a big meal during the picnic. Unexpectedly, they prepared much more than she required in the carriage.The reason they prepared much was: "You were invited to be there. Didn't you
Qiu Yelan was right. Barely had the team led by Jiang Qizheng arrived at the bottom of Jinxiu Slope, several men caught up. They were all riding horses of the same color. The riders in their distinctive armors looked noble and outstanding. Obviously, they were not from an ordinary rich family.They galloped all the way to Jiang Qizheng's carriage before reining.Qiu Yelan was in the back of the troop. She was screened by horses and carts in the front and did not know how they negotiated. After a while, the riders returned to Princess Shou'an, but the troop of the Jiang Family did not move a bit.After another moment, an old maid came to ask the ladies to get off and go to the enclosure in the front, "Princess Shou'an is also going to Jinxiu Slope. In order to prevent overcrowding, she proposed a three-round competition with our princess. The winner will go to the slope and the loser will go somewhere else. The princess sent me to invite Your Gr
