It looked like Madame Dou Junior was joking, but actually what she said was rather mean.
Having a boy in a year meant that she needed to get pregnant months after she was married. Who could be sure of this kind of thing?
Even if she had gotten pregnant, what if it was a girl?
She was clearly telling that to Qiu Yelan to make her feel miserable. She was talking about the child when Qiu Yelan hadn't even had consummation. If it had indeed been a new bride who was just sixteen, she would have been panicking.
"Want to prevail over me from the very first encounter?" Qiu Yelan snorted coldly in her heart. She curled up her lips and put on a coy and soft smile, " This sister-in-law, how can I take that? No matter Jiang Yashuang or I, we are still young, what honor do we have to let God give us such luck?"
"So, you're saying He Shuijin was lying?" Madame Dou Junior blinked her eyes. She looked at He Shuijin with a faint smile,
Early the next morning, in the main hall of the Marquess’s Mansion, all the people, including Marquess Qin and even the servants, dressed neatly, gathered together and waited for the newlyweds to come to offer tea.It was still rainy on that day, so a row of candles had to be lit in the wide main hall so that it would not be dim.But with Marquess Qin presented, no one dared to say anything bad.Especially the moment when Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yelan stepped in, a handsome man and a gorgeous beauty made everyone's eyes light up, and they couldn't help feeling that they were so well-matched!Marquess Qin also smiled slightly. He liked smart and capable juniors the most. Two years ago, Qiu Yelan's performance at the Imperial Court Assembly left a good impression on him. What was more, Madame Tao and Jiang Yashuang had spared no effort to praise her. At this time, seeing such a beautiful granddaughter-in-law with his own eyes, Marques
Jiang Yashuang's guess was right. Qiu Yelan sorted her dress and walked outside. She summoned Madame Tao Junior's servant in, and figured the whole thing out after asking a few questions. Jiang Yadan raped He Shuijin's confidant, Wan, during the chaos last night.Then, Wan ran out of the Mansion of Marquess Qin and hanged herself in a small forest two streets away.After hearing it, Qiu Yelan couldn't speak for a long time. Then she asked, "What about now?""Wan is important to the Fourteenth Young Lady. She found out that Wan had gone missing this morning and became very worried. She even sent someone to the Mansion of Earl of Jingchuan to borrow the mastiffs to look for Wan. Then Wan was founded." The servant smiled bitterly, "So she knew that it was the eighth young master who... After that, she went to the Madame and cried and asked for help.""Our young lady has been asking for her forgiveness for half a day, but the Fourteent
They got married on April fifteenth. After three days, they returned to see Qiu Yelan's family. Then Jiang Yashuang spent two days with Qiu Yelan at home. After that, he went to the Hanlin Academy.They were just married, so when he was home, they were always together. Therefore, after he went to work, Qiu Yelan had the time to plan the marital life.The time for her to adjust was shorter than she expected.It was mainly because Jiang Yashuang was not only a grandchild but the youngest grandson.The third branch had He Shuijin. Even though Marquess Qin's Mansion was big and the amount of work could be described as a pile, He Shuijin took care of all of them orderly. She completely eradicated any chance of others' taking her power.Now the power distribution in the Mansion was like this: the center was He Shuijin. And the substitutions were other mesdames from the third branch, which were the sixth Madame, the seventh M
Hearing that, Qiu Yelan burst into a laugh. She leered at him and said, "Isn't it your duty to do those things?""The servants whom we bought with irrevocable title deeds are also obliged to work. But we still have to pay them!" Jiang Yashuang complained, "So, why can't I get a reward for doing what I'm supposed to do?"Qiu Yelan was about to say something. He suddenly lowered his voice and said cantankerously, "Will you obey me or not? If you won't… Believe it or not, I can make sure that you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow!""Even since we get married, you become more and more disobedient!" Qiu Yelan his chest and scolded him with a smile, "What? Finally, show your true colors after marrying me?" Although she said so, she was really afraid of Jiang Yashuang's intemperance at night. So, she reached out and put her arms around his neck. And then she leaned on his chest and kissed him lightly.Jiang Yashuang kissed her ba
"Yeah, on the way, we..." Madame Dou Junior only said half of the sentence before she fell silent. She stared at the phoenix hairpin for a moment. Seeing Madame Zhang looking confused, Sheng Shishui looked down without saying anything. Madame Tao Junior was blushing. She pulled Qiu Yelan's sleeve with strength. Yet Qiu Yelan didn't do or say anything. She calmly smiled at Madame Dou Junior, "Isn't this hairpin beautiful, big sister-in-law? Grandfather gave it to me. I have been looking at it for the past two days. I couldn't help but put it on today."It looked like the only thing missing showing her attitude was the word "provoke" on her face. Madame Dou Junior clearly understood it.Let alone Madame Dou Junior, even Madame Miao, the wife of Jiang Yayue, who was wearing a yellow skirt, straightened her face. But they looked at each other and didn't answer Qiu Yelan. Instead, they looked at Madame Tao Junior who was in much stress and said coldly, "We didn'
Madame Miao took the hint as early as when Madame Dou Junior left the table. They not only lived in the same family, but they had been sisters-in-law for more than ten years, so they knew exactly how much each other could drink!Upon seeing this, she immediately exclaimed, "Qiu Yelan, please help your sister-in-law!"According to the tacit understanding of themselves, even if Qiu Yelan was agile enough to jump away at this time, she was too embarrassed to dodge after Madame Miao exclaimed. Otherwise, if Madame Dou Junior had a fall or even got hurt, how was she supposed to tell others?As for helping... Qiu Yelan looked young and beautiful, and she was still sitting on the table at this moment while Madame Dou Junior was in the prime of life. So, it seemed that Qiu Yelan couldn't help her as she fell down from high. Since she couldn't help her, they would fall on the couch together!When Madame Dou Junior got up, she hid a hairpin
The Jiang family's long-established sister-in-law meeting went awry. Before Qiu Yelan and the two others arrived at the main room, Madame Tao got the news about it first and instead of being anxious. She was delighted, "It's really happening! I was afraid they'd be too calm to make a fuss after this!"Mom Hu smiled and said, "When have they ever been calm?""Well, after being spoiled by the Chaohai for so many years, even if they used to be calm, it's hard not to get carried away!" Madame Tao sneered--the day after Qiu Yelan toasted the tea, she told Marquess Qin that the first branch had asked for the phoenix hairpin, "It happened to be at the time for the wedding of Zheng'er and we just discussed Jiang Yashuang's wedding date. I was too old and so busy that I forgot to tell you. But you gave it to Qiu Yelan today. It's very likely that the first branch thought we deliberately refused to give it to them. They must really hate us!"After Marque
This evening, Jiang Yazhu was found by a servant in the brothel, "Please go back! Today the wives of the family had a gathering and had some conflict. Madame Miao and Madame Tao Junior were hit. Madame Dou Junior even bled. Madame Sheng was also caught up in the conflict!""What?!" Even though Jiang Yazhu used to go to the brothel before marriage, but he didn't have many nights of getting drunk and not going home. It was mainly because he was an illegitimate son. And his official mother even told everyone to not spoil him, so he didn't have much money to spend. If it hadn't been because he had a good relationship with Jiang Yadan, so he earned some money from him, he wouldn't have been able to visit the brothel very often.But after he was married, he became worse. He didn't have money, so he pawned the things that the family arranged for him when he was married!It showed how much he was unsatisfied with his wife, Sheng Shishui!S
