In the morning of the next day, the couple said sweet words to each other after getting up. And then, Jiang Yashuang said to Qiu Yelan, "I have required Yadan to get an explanation from Uncle Mengmin. In my opinion, if Uncle Mengmin begs grandfather for Madame Miao, my grandfather may forgive Madame Miao, or she must be punished seriously."
Qiu Yelan was a little stunned when hearing his words, "So, Yadan can do this? Impressive!"
"You know what, Yadan was raised in the first branch!" Jiang Yashuang said with a cold smile. As the maids did not enter the room, he continued, "You know, Yadan was very smart in his childhood. His intelligence was well-known in the capital. How could he become a person who only focuses on women?"
"... About this, did anyone explain what was going on about him?" Qiu Yelan paused for a while. There were only three males in the fourth branch. And Jiang Yadan was the first child in the first branch! How could he be rais
"Yelan, I am sorry about what happened yesterday!" He Shuijin said, saying sorry to her when walking into the Flower Hall.Qiu Yelan hurried to hold her arm, saying, "Shuijin, don't mention it! It's none of your business. It was Madame Dou Junior and Madame Miao who don't like me.""What you said hurts my feelings!" He Shuijin said with red eyes. She was almost crying. "I knew that Madame Dou Junior and Madame Miao don't like you. However, they did not mention the phoenix hairpin. It was obvious that they did not want to look into it! Actually, it was us who did not hold it very well, which made the conflict severer. We even did not attempt to help you out. But we fueled it! If Madame Shi, Madame Zhang and I had tried to appease it, Madame Tao Junior would not have been wronged. We know, you just got married. If we had handled it well, you would not have been scolded by parents."Qiu Yelan thought that you were pretending to be a good girl and
He Shuijin sighed, "But how could I get to talk in front of the grandfather?"She continued, "Grandfather favors the first branch the most and then Yashuang. So, if we can win Madame Qiu over, it will benefit our branch a lot. In order to do so, you instructed me deliberately that I needed to get Madame Qiu to trust me even I had to speak ill of you and two sisters-in-law! Now Madame Qiu has already…""That's right. But don't let it show," Madame He reminded, "Madame Qiu can't figure it out herself. Your grandfather is too busy to mind minor matters. Her Majesty is in the palace. But don't forget that there is the grandmother in your family! She has staked her life on the fourth branch! If you are too close to Madame Qiu and make her feel threatened, she will never tolerate it! She has Her Majesty to depend on!"He Shuijin was startled, "I'm such a fool! Thank you for reminding me!"Madame He smiled with satisfaction and said, "You
Empress Dowager Gu thought about it for a while, and then ordered, "As for this year's holiday for preventing sunstroke... Weizhou, you will take charge of it!"Prince of Zhou was stunned, "I..." Since it had been a custom to spend a holiday at a summer resort for the royal family and everyone was familiar with it, so according to common sense, it could be arranged according to the old routine, which was not difficult.However, he could imagine that the Empress would not let him pass the test by just following suit! Besides the days for preparation, the journey to Mount Dizi would take a few days, so it couldn't be accomplished in an action. It involved a wide range of manpower, departments and ware. It was not easy to do that!Seeing his hesitation, Empress Dowager Gu yelled angrily, "What are you afraid of? Since the Empress hears that you are going to take charge of the summer holiday, she will let the Seventh Prince show up! You think you'r
Although the Xin Family didn't hold the same high social rank as the Jiang Family, Xin Fubing's mother Jiang Tianhe was Sir Jibei's own daughter, the only one who survived into adulthood. So, she was the apple of Sir Jibei and his wife's eyes.At present, she was in Guanzhou with her husband who took office there. However, what if she was reunited with her daughter one day and began to have some doubts about...Madame Mi thought it over for two days but she still could not make her decision. Considering the deadline set by her father-in-law was coming, she then seized a chance to go back to her parents' home and ask her mother for help."Why do you fear? When your Madame Zhuang was in Jing City, she once even dared to beat Madame Dou's lady's maid to death in front of her," Old Madame of the Mi Family said at once after hearing her granddaughter's worry because she sympathized with her and meanwhile wanted to build a close relationship with the
Fortunately, they cooked one more dish that day. Before the sea cucumber with minced meat which was due to avoiding Mrs. Zhou's nagging was served onto the plate, Jiang Yashuang showed himself at the door. He did not change into regular clothes and sneak into the kitchen for tasting the food as usual. Instead, he sent a servant with a word, "I invited Ou Bicheng. He missed his lunch today. Can we begin having lunch now?""Food is ready, but not enough." Jiang Yashuang got used to the food prepared by Qiu Yelan before they got married. After they got married, he often asked her to cook for him. As Qiu Yelan had nothing to do, she agreed with him. As usual, she only cooked one or two dishes for themselves as she did not want to make herself too tired. But now, there was a friend to entertain. Even he had been a friend of Jiang Yashuang since his childhood, it would be too low to serve one or two dishes for a friend.Luckily, Mrs. Li was also a good cook like
"What is all this about?" Qiu Yelan asked confusedly, "I don't know whether she's angry with you or not. But it's true that she doesn't want to see you now.""I've guessed so!" He Shuijin had a bitter smile on her face, "But what can I do? My grandmother and mother all asked me and the sixth aunt to persuade her to marry the Seventh Prince. The elders have asked, how can I refuse? Even her own grandmother agreed. After all, the Xin Family has never even had a concubine. Let alone the honor of becoming the one in charge of the imperial harem. So, I persuaded her with the sixth aunt and she hates me right now!"Qiu Yelan couldn't help but ask, "There's no other good choice besides her?""There are two daughters of our second aunt. The tenth lady and the eleventh lady of the Dou Family." He Shuijin puckered, "They're ok. But the problem is, my grandmother and the Empress don't like people from the Dou Family!"The wife of the Seventh
According to Madame Tao's order, she asked Su He to return to her room to tell Xin Fubing what the Madame said, while she led other people holding the rewards into the yard of Sheng Shishui.At this time, Madame Tao Junior was already inquiring after Sheng Shishui's health. Seeing her, she smiled and said, "The servants went to your yard to announce the good news just now, but you were not there. Did you hear the good news from the grandmother?" Then she glanced at the servants who were holding the gifts, feeling surprised, "You prepared the gifts in such a short time? I've thought I was fast enough!""Of course not." Qiu Yelan grinned and looked at Sheng Shishui who was forced to lie on the bed, "It was grandma who did that. I went for her just now, and then I helped her take the gifts here!"“Oh! I see." Madame Tao Junior took a tumble.At this time, Sheng Shishui thanked Qiu Yelan for her help and asked people to take over the g
After all, Qiu Yelan had just married into the Jiang Family for a short time, so she had a shallow foundation here. She didn’t know anything about the turbulent conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the third branch, and she didn't know that He Shuijin, who was considered a duck to water after marrying into the Jiang Family, hated her aunt and mother-in-law so badly!After congratulating Sheng Shishui, she had to think about on the way back to her yard how to comfort Xin Fubing later.While after she went back, Xin Fubing and Ou Qinglan had already left and they just asked the maid to tell her that.Su He explained, "The Madame sent someone to pick them up.""I got it." Qiu Yelan nodded and thought to herself, "Grandma asked me to bring the gifts to Sheng Shishui just to send me away and call them two over?"After thinking about it, she knew that Madame Tao did not have any bad intentions. After al
