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
After a while, Princess Changping walked in gracefully, and then bowed down, "Your Majesty!"Qiu Yelan saw her from a distance at the Emperor's birthday last year, but didn't pay much attention to her at that time. When she looked closely at her this time, she found that her eyebrows were like turquoise feathers and her face was as beautiful as hibiscus. She had a double-ringed hairpin and a crown of flowers on her head, wearing an apricot red upper skirt with narrow sleeves, a bellyband with goose yellow embroidered begonia flowers on the chest, a brocade on the arm, a colored tape on the waist, a skirt in green and white, and a golden bell at the corners of the skirt. When she walked, the small bell rang, which revealed her dainty and vivaciousness as a girl."She deserves to be cultivated by Empress Dowager Gu." In terms of appearance, Changping was not as beautiful as Yongfu, but in terms of temperament, the elegant and graceful Princess Changping was m
Qiu Yelan hurried back to Marquess's Mansion. As expected, when she got out of the carriage, she heard the bad news, "A child of Jiang Yadan died!"No wonder Jiang Yadan was so rushed on the road!"How can that happen? When I went to the eighth sister-in-law two days ago, the children were still lively!" She walked toward the backyard and asked Xiaran, who was waiting at the drop-off point. At that time, those two kids were so lively as to snatch the jade bracelet from their official mother's wrist! Would one of them be the one who had the accident at this time?"They fell into the water." Xiaran lowered her head behind her, whispering quickly, "Sheng Shishui was found pregnant yesterday, so the old Madame told Madame Tao Junior to take more care of her. So, she got up early this morning and went to the house of Sheng Shishui... The servants in Madame Tao Junior's yard just reported that Jiang Yahong and Jiang Yahu got into a fight while playin
After asking He Shuijin to help, Qiu Yelan was still worried. After getting back to her courtyard, she sent people to find out how the thing went.Chunran was on this errand. She came back and told her, "Madame Tao was tired. She kept those people in custody and asked Madame Tao Junior and Young Master Yadan to go back… She'll deal with it when people from the Tao Family get here tomorrow.""Did grandfather ask about it?" Qiu Yelan asked."I haven't heard. I assume Old Master doesn't want to say anything because the situation is unclear," Chunran guessed.Qiu Yelan felt a force on her waist while thinking. She got pulled into someone's arms by surprise! Then Chunran who was in front of her bowed, "Young Master, you are back!""I got it. You are back. Chunran is still here. You!" Qiu Yelan pinched Jiang Yashuang's arm with a complaint. She watched Chunran going away rapidly and then turned around, "Why did you come back
"Is she okay?" Asked Qiu Yelan. She hurried to Sheng Shishui even without changing her dress. The doctor hadn't come yet. A flock of old maidservants and maids were standing in the corridor, being at a loss. A few concubines dressed gorgeously were standing in front of the group, whispering to each other with complicated expressions. Qiu Yelan ignored them, walking into the room directly. Sheng Shishui was lying in bed with a frown. Two dowry maids were serving beside the bed nervously. She rushed to inquire about her situation."Yelan, thanks for coming." Greeted Sheng Shishui, attempting to sit up.Qiu Yelan promptly grabbed her hand, saying, "Lie down! Don't move... How about you now?" Before Sheng Shishui answered her question, she urged, "Where is the doctor? Did you send someone to ask for a doctor? When will he arrive?""Don't be nervous!" Smiled Sheng Shishui with relief. She held her hand, saying, "I have sent a servant to ask for a do
