These days Madame He was back in charge of the family. She was already busy enough. However, Jiang Tianqi’s marriage with Chi made her rather sad. Now she was scolded by her husband, because of which she was so angry. After all, Madame He was a mother-in-law. She was not afraid that she couldn't find someone to release her anger. Although He Shuijin shouldered heavy responsibilities and Madame Shi was badly ill, there was Madame Zhang.
Hence, Madame He bore the anger to see off her husband and immediately called Madame Zhang to her and scolded her, "How did you do it?! I told you to guard against the first branch! But you let them collude with Qiu Yelan of the fourth branch here. This time, they showed their ability with the help of Qiu Yelan. Even Jiang Yahong, the b*tch who gave birth to a son, was promoted by your grandfather. How could you be stupid like this? I think everything for you. You’re a fine one. You work ahead of them but like a dead person. You know noth
Qiu Yelan was really confused. She went to Beique Hall with the things that Madame Tao gave her niece.Empress Jiang called on Princess Yongfu to come here and receive the things in person. After that, she sent the princess away and then cleared the hall. Maybe Qiu Yelan had helped a lot this time. Now it seemed that Empress wanted to be friendly and warm like before. She waved and asked Qiu Yelan to sit down near her. She said with a smile, "Thanks to you this time. Otherwise, that old woman did this so secretly that even people like Xue Chang could think of no way. She almost got away with it."Speaking of the last sentence, Empress gritted her teeth and looked ferocious.This made Qiu Yelan nervous. Her heart sank, "Jiang Yashuang said they would be as lenient as possible to Empress Dowager Ye. Why does Empress...?"She said tentatively, "Empress Dowager Ye was humiliated by Empress Dowager Gu in the past. After so many years, i
Qiu Yelan was slightly surprised about the scene that Empress Dowager Ye spoke first and talked in such a way. She thought about it and then answered, "I did suffer a lot, but I don't know why you think so?"At first, she wanted to make sure that the Jiang Family would deal with Empress Dowager Ye leniently. But now when she saw the old woman, she gave up. Everyone could see that even if the Jiang Family didn't do it, Empress Dowager Ye would not live long.Maybe she could live so long after she became the so-called Empress Dowager who lived in seclusion from a supreme step-Empress, just by the belief of waiting for an opportunity. After she made an action, her belief was gone and then she became weak."Because this method was learned by chance from a poor man." Empress Dowager Ye stared at Qiu Yelan. Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions, both sad and resentful, but more dispirited. "In his early years, Liang Xiaogeng had to steal to suppor
When Qiu Yelan returned to Beique Hall, it was already dusk. Empress Jiang offered a family dinner. Shortly after the dinner started, only Maid Lin was kept in the hall to serve wines. Qiu Yelan took the moment and said everything that Empress Dowager Ye had just told.After hearing it, Empress's expression changed abruptly, "According to what she said, all the royalties are suspects, aren't they?"Qiu Yelan replied respectfully, "I'm not wise enough to make any judgment.""It's ok. Since Empress Dowager Ye told you this, you should know her demeanor. Tell me, what do you think of what she said?" Empress Jiang contemplated and said, "Is it true or not?""I've never met Empress Dowager Ye before. How can I judge the truth of her speech so arrogantly?" Qiu Yelan clarified that she was unfamiliar to Empress Dowager Ye, and then she continued, "But I think what Empress Dowager Ye did was for Duanrou. Duanrou is the only child of the th
Marquess Qin only took one look at him and then waved his hand to let the servants withdraw. After that, Marquess Qin stroked his beard, smiled, and asked, "Has your daughter-in-law been wronged in the palace?"Jiang Yashuang was not surprised that his grandfather was right. After saluting him, Jiang Yashuang replied faintly, "I know that both my grandmother and my aunt love me, but the things in the backyard are like drinking water that one knows hot and cold. If too many people care about it, it will be easy to get into trouble. Grandfather, please help me.""Love you?" Marquess Qin said lazily, "Just a little... They care more about themselves, don't they?"Jiang Yashuang didn't say anything.Marquess Qin said with a smile, "I won't take care of this. Cultivate your mind, take family responsibilities, learn how to govern the country, and preserve peace and order. You know how much I hope for you. If I have to deal with such a sm
Jiang Yashuang, who was called back in a hurry, looked at his weeping sister and roaring wife. It took him a long time to find the opportunity to speak, "Brother's injury is not so bad. This is the news sent the day before yesterday. It's absolutely true.""It was delivered the day before yesterday." If it weren't for Jiang Qizheng, Qiu Yelan really wanted to kick him. She said, "If I didn't know that my brother almost lost his life, you wouldn't tell me until my brother came back."Originally, they had been in a cold war over the matter of Niguang these days. Now because Jiang Yashuang concealed such important news about Qiu Jinglan's life and death, Qiu Yelan was going crazy."I was afraid you would be like this if you knew it." Jiang Yashuang sighed, "Shazhou is so far away. Even if you knew your brother was in danger, you should just be worried. When my brother left, he repeatedly told me that I must not tell you anything bad, lest you worr
According to the contact information that Empress Dowager Ye provided, Qiu Yelan soon got in touch with Empress Dowager Ye's, or maybe the Ye Family's, even the former crown prince's only group of secret pawns left in Jing City.Emperor had taken the crown for more than thirty years. Even the youngest pawn was old enough to be a grandfather. Some of them already died of old age. Prince Qiyang was mentally challenged. Princess Qiyang was from the Jiang Family. County Princess was too young and didn't know much about scheming and plotting. The only person who could use them was Empress Dowager Ye who was basically locked up for thirty years. Even so, they were still willing to do her bidding. This truly showed their loyalty!Empress Dowager Ye gave them to Qiu Yelan in exchange for her taking care of County Princess Duanrou as well as she could, "This is why I insist on seeing you. I have forced the Empress to swear on Princess Yongfu's life that she wouldn't
Just when Empress Dowager's party finally had a win, Marquess Qin who was resting his eyes quietly said, "Everyone knows Western Army is an elite troop. You can't blame it all on the guards of the mausoleum!"Cao Zizhong and others weren't so bright. Otherwise, they wouldn't be sent to guard the mausoleum. But when it came to their lives and their families, people would be brighter than usual. Hearing this, they immediately admitted, "Marquess Qin really knows better! The Western Army was indeed brave and strong. We're no match to its soldiers!"After he said that, the whole room burst into an uproar.Qiu Dian's face turned red. For a job like guarding the mausoleum, if they did well, they wouldn't get rewarded. But if accidents happened, like this one, they wouldn't end well. Therefore, anyone with some connections or backgrounds would try their best to avoid this job. Those who had to do this were without either backgrounds or abilities. Even
Ruan Ciyi passed out and then woke up, which happened repeatedly for multiple times. Qiu Yelan didn't know any medicine. But looking at the serious expression on the face of the doctor who was hurriedly brought here, she knew the situation was dire. Luckily, after Ruan Ciyi got divorced, Qiu Jinglan kept her around and nourished her body for a couple of years. At least, she was not too weak.If this had happened when she just came back to Jing City, she probably wouldn't be able to survive!This showed the very strong feelings she had on the matter that the family cemetery was dug!In fact, Qiu Yelan was going crazy in her mind. She didn't think about Empress Dowager Ye at first. But when she received the news on her way to the Li Family that the thief, who was killed by the guard, was a bodyguard of Marquess Zhang's Mansion, she immediately realized it was Empress Dowager Ye! If she couldn't realize it, she wouldn't survive in the Jiang Family
