Chapter 288 A Surprising Choice for the Expectant Princess
This was also a coincidence. Since Empress Jiang tried carrot and stick approaches to get that pill from Qiu Yelan in Mount Dizi, Qiu Yelan had never seen her again.
Empress Jiang was annoyed and thought Qiu Yelan didn't know how to behave, so Empress Jiang never called her again.
But now Madame Zhuang Junior came personally, "I heard the Palace is looking for wives for the Princes. Zhuang Man is just the right age. You know her. Even though she is a bit short-tempered, her look and her bearing are all great among the young ladies. We are a family so I'll cut to the chase. I've heard that Prince of Lu is kind and gentle. I bet he can tolerate her little temper!"
Because not so long ago, Prince of Qi was nearly forced to kill himself, she then guaranteed, "Zhuang Man knows what she should and shouldn't do. She also wants to find a tolerant husband to live a comfortable life!"
She was the sister of Jiang Yashuang and his sister-in-la

In the current age, if a woman wanted to be respected in her husband's family, what she needed was not a good look or ability, but prestigious family background and dowry. Especially when she lacked the former, then she had to have a large number of dowries. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to hold her head up when she got married.As for the other wives of the Princes, the ones that were chosen were a legitimate young lady and a legitimate granddaughter from the prestigious Jiang Family; the granddaughter of Deputy Premier Tang, who was also Empress Dowager's granddaughter; the legitimate daughter of Prince's Mansion of Guangyang who was titled as a Princess; a young lady from the most famous family, Tao Family; and the niece of the assistant minister of Ministry of Justice.With all these women coming from prestigious families, compared to them, Wang Qingqian was nothing. If she didn't have enough dowries, how could she live from then on?Ther
The Counterattack of the Downcast Queen Chapter 290 Something Wrong with the Dowry
Qiu Jinglan already left. No matter how worried and how angry Qiu Yelan was about being lied to for so long, she couldn't do anything.Thus, after she entered the room and complained to Jiang Yashuang for a while, she could only let it go. But she was worried about Ruan Ciyi's wedding, "Now that brother left, she is the only one here. She can't go everywhere by herself to plan it. I want to stay there for a couple of days."Jiang Yashuang didn't support her idea. He had noticed that since the fight with that pill, Madame Tao and Empress Jiang treated him the same, but they were dissatisfied with Qiu Yelan. Now that Marquess Qin had already promised Qiu Jinglan to send his daughter-in-law over to help Ruan Ciyi before her wedding, yet Qiu Yelan still wanted to live at the Ruan Family. This would surely make Madame Tao unhappy. Who would like to see their daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law staying outside all the time and not coming home?An
The Counterattack of the Downcast Queen Chapter 291 How About a Thorough Investigation?
Empress Jiang became nervous. She quickly looked at the place where the IOU was signed with handprints. Her face instantly changed, "Duan Xicheng? I remember he is your eldest son. He did not even have a position because he said something he shouldn't have said, right? How can a man like him have the chance to borrow half a million taels of silver? It's ridiculous!""Since assistant minister Duan sent someone over with the IOU, he must have a plan. Be easy," Empress Dowager Gu spoke out idly. She added, "Let's go on to listen."A cold smile appeared at the corner of Duan Jin's mouth, but he respectfully said, "Your Graces, there is indeed a reason why my son Duan Xicheng was able to borrow this huge sum of money. To say the least, this huge sum of money was originally a thank you gift that Qingfeng Ji insisted on giving to Duan Xicheng! It was Duan Xicheng who didn't think about asking for others' returns after doing a good deed. He accepted it because the

Before they could speak, Empress Jiang began to laugh, "Then do as you say! Don't say I'm harbouring people from my own family. Qiu Dian is in charge of investigating the Tao Family. As for the Duan Family, Dalisi will investigate!"After she finished, she looked provocatively at Empress Dowager Gu, "What do you think, Mother? If Duan Jin is innocent, he definitely won't miss this opportunity to prove his innocence, right?"Empress Dowager Gu was full of bitterness. Empress Jiang sacrificed her own family for the battle. What else could she say? If she opposed the investigation, it would give the Empress's party another good reason to screw Duan Jin to death! But if she agreed to investigate, Duan Jin was innocent or not... Everyone knew he was certainly not innocent!Duan Jin was a dead man already!Empress Dowager Gu had to nod and agreed to the suggestion. After Duan Jin saw it, he sat limply on the ground as if his bones had be

Jiang Yashuang just walked Ou Bicheng out when Qiu Yelan came back. They bumped into each other at the door. She was frowning and upset. Seeing that, Jiang Yashuang was suspicious. He held her hand and asked softly, "How are Shishui and the twenty-first niece?""Our niece is so adorable and causes others no trouble," Qiu Yelan nodded. She took him a few steps towards the yard and then whispered, "Did the eighth sister-in-law come or send anyone here?""No wonder you stayed at Shishui’s place until now," Jiang Yashuang was stunned. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "It turns out that you were afraid that eighth sister-in-law would come to plead with you."Qiu Yelan was frustrated, "The eighth sister-in-law is the most ill-treated person in the Tao Family. But considering how the eighth sister-in-law is, do you think she’ll sit by and watch her family suffer in distress? On one hand, I don’t want to plead for her. On the other hand, I’m not

Although He Shuijin privately gave this account to me to make us the fourth branch do this, personally she just wants us to own her a personal note!"Jiang Yashuang tucked the account into his sleeve, gave her a gentle pinch on the cheek, and smiled, "Are you lying to me now? Let me tell you what's wrong with that. It's true that the contradiction between us and the first branch is an issue of interest, but we, the fourth branch, are not the ones who hate the Dou Family most!
