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
Su He's concern made sense. Rationally speaking, if Madame Tao allowed Yanniang to give birth to the baby and then she died after giving birth to the baby, everyone would say that the baby was saved by Sheng Shishui. But no need to say, the baby would suffer a lot during his or her development.Or it might be that the baby would accuse his or her official mother of what he or she suffered.After all, most people in the world were always strict with others and lenient with themselves.However, after hearing the words, Qiu Yelan smiled coldly, "Do you really think Sheng Shishui wanted to save the baby? It is Madame who wants to save the baby!"Su He was surprised, "But Mom Hu said...""If Madame did not want to save the baby, she might have done the exact thing she did to Luan, to kill her and then inform Sheng Shishui of her death!" Qiu Yelan said coldly. "But now, although Madame said Yazhu and his wife would have many
Even though He Shuijin took such a drastic measure, Qiu Yelan had no intention to take action.After all, it was just their speculation that Jiang Yadan would force Madame Tao Junior to give way to An Zhenshang, and things hadn't come to such a pass yet. What was more, if they really struck the An Family, it would be hard to wind this matter up. Feng Rugui was a staunch supporter of the Jiang Family!Once Jiang Yadan knew it, it would be hard for them to explain it to him as sisters-in-law, as well as his two younger brothers Jiang Yaheng and Jiang Yashuang.Qiu Yelan had a good impression of Madame Tao Junior indeed, but she couldn't risk everything for her.So, after careful thinking, she decided to wait and see the changes, "If not, just reveal this idea to Madame Tao and let her handle that!"After Jiang Yashuang came back that day, he asked how things were going on with Madame Tao Junior. When he heard that Sheng
At this point, Qiu Yelan couldn't bear to keep it from her. She sighed, "The youngest daughter of Director of temple etiquette from the An Family. But that woman sounds like a shameless one. How could the elders of our family let her marry into our family? So, don't worry too much. Yashuang is looking for Yadan for something else today.""The elders won't allow. Yadan is willing to… I don't have a child…" Madame Tao Junior said with a smile. But tears kept falling down, "I met An Zhenshang once. She is way more beautiful than me. Besides, she is almost ten years younger than me. If she really doesn't have a chance to marry into our family, how could you guys be so worried about me?""…" Qiu Yelan bit her lips, "We are afraid that Yadan may have a thoughtless moment and put the elders in an embarrassing position. So, we are here to find out. But just think about it…"Madame Tao Junior waved her hand and choked with sobs, "Thanks for your concern
Her own brother was, after all, more important than her sister-in-law in Qiu Yelan's heart. So, she left aside the matter of Madame Tao Junior to send someone to ask Qiu Jinglan. After her servant came back, she was informed that Qiu Jinglan was not among the Emperor's summer-tour procession. But a servant from Earl of Jingchuan's Mansion came to report, "Due to lack of official position, Young Master Ruan and my young master have gone to Mount Dizi's residence in advance before the barricade of the main road."Qiu Yelan tried to inquire of the person whether there was any trouble Qiu Jinglan had recently.But the servant looked confused, "Everything is OK with Young Master Ruan and Lady Ruan. I didn't hear they did anything wrong." And he added, "Our young master is with Young Master Ruan all day. If there is any trouble, he will absolutely report it to Your Highness and the Earl. Since he didn't mention anything, I guess everything goes smoothly. Please r
After hearing Qiu Yelan describing the whole course of Madame Tao Junior's incident, Qiu Jinglan and Ling Zui all fell into thinking. After a while, Qiu Jinglan said, "This is not easy to handle."Ling Zui took over and said, "Why? I think you'd better give the deposit back to the Tao Family. An Zhenshang is not easy to be dealt with. Killing her means starting a feud with Jiang Yadan. For Madame Tao Junior, that's really unnecessary! As for the An Family, do you really think Feng Rugui is dead? You will still become an enemy of Jiang Yadan and make the Jiang Family unhappy!"Qiu Yelan asked carefully, "What do you think? In the current situation, is there any way to bring Jiang Yadan's heart back?"He no longer cares about your sister-in-law's life. How can you expect him to come around?" Qiu Jinglan sneered, "This Madame Tao Junior really had a tough life. Her husband is not kind and her maiden family is unjust. If she can't see through it, t
