In Jing City, Hall of Taishi, Palace of Ganquan, the imperial city…
Empress Dowager Jiang stared at Chu Weisang who was standing on the red steps. She asked impatiently, "Why do you come here, Emperor?"
"I hear that you have no appetite for food and drinks. I am worried about you and so I come here to take care of you." Chu Weisang respectfully took the edible bird's nest from the golden tray which the maid knelt to hold. "Being healthy is the most important thing for you. Please have some for the sake of all people and the country."
Empress Dowager Jiang frowned. Among the three kids who were kidnapped in the attack in Shazhou, she didn't mind Ling Zui, but Jiang Qizheng was her nephew who she had watched group up. Even if she ignored their connection, the consequence caused by her death was very tricky. In such a situation, she was not in the mood to have some edible bird's nest.
"My father can maintain peace now and my fo
"I put forward this idea by myself. Of course, I should do it by myself!" Jiang Yashuang turned back and looked at his friend, "And apart from us, the fourth branch, who do you think can bear the consequences of this?"Ou Bicheng paled at his words, "If you were to do it, you might commit fratricide!""Nothing serious!" Jiang Yashuang said indifferently, "Back then, I had a reputation of forcing a marriage out of power in order to marry Ningyi. Now, for the sake of the unjust death of Jiang Qizheng, Xing, and Ling Zui, what's the point of having the notorious reputation again?" He couldn't help but sneer at this point, "Besides, the reputation of the Jiang Family's juniors..."It was already in a shambles! The one who was scolded the most was Jiang Yadan, but he was still living just the same, wasn't he?"Do you think Marquess will let you leave Jing City?" Ou Bicheng's gaze flickered and after a long time, he asked indiffer
However, although Qiu Yelan rushed towards the back hall as soon as she received the news, she was a little late.When she arrived, Qiu Feng had been taken to Jiang Yazhu and Sheng Shishui’s house to see his son.Qiu Yelan saw that only Mrs. Hu came out to tell the news and the bead curtain of Madame Tao’s inner room was closed. She also vaguely heard that there were comforting words of subordinates. As such, she sighed in her heart and asked in a low voice, “Is my grandmother all right?” Mrs. Hu smiled bitterly, “When the news first went out, Madame Tao often cried in the night... She heard nothing from anyone these days. How could she not know that in her heart? If it hadn’t been for the filial piety of the sixteenth madame, who often brought young master over to cheer her up, I’m afraid Madame Tao would have fallen ill. However, Chunfu Princess’s husband rushed back at this moment…”She shook her head, “I have sent someo
Although Qiu Feng admitted that he treated Jiang Qizheng poorly, Jiang Yashuang who claimed that Qiu Feng didn't deserve to bring Jiang Qizheng back compromised at last. He agreed to arrange for some men to go to Shazhou with Qiu Feng.Because Qiu Yelan found a chance to interrupt, "Our grandmother instructed that we shouldn’t let people gossip about Jiang Qizheng after she died in such a heartbreaking way. Everyone who thought Qiu Feng was in Shazhou already found it weird when he came back suddenly. If he doesn't go to Shazhou… How will we answer when they ask us about it?""Our nephew is still alive. Please think about how he will face others.""Don't think about running away on your way there. I'll go to the ends of the earth to find you if you do that," Jiang Yashuang only said that as he didn't know how to answer Qiu Yelan's question. He stormed out after he summoned Jiang Tan in and told him to make arrangements."You
Jiang Yashuang comforted his wife and then asked Jiang Tan to pry into the news. But at this moment those guys who took personal belongings of Wang Qingqian and made trouble in their house were arrested by guards of the Governor's office, while the rumor that Princess of Wei had a love affair with someone else had been spread through the city.At present, the governor was Ye Zhiru. He broke into a cold sweat when the process of interrogation went on for just a while. He thought, "Miss Wang has never left Jing City since she came here with her mother. Those guys are from other cities. They certainly can't have a love affair with her. It is slander! Though the Lian Family and the Wang Family are not in a high position in court, Commandery Princess Ningyi, the wife of Jiang Yashuang, is always supporting Miss Wang and she is pregnant now. I hear that even Marquess Qin cares about her. If there exists someone who dares to offend Commandery Princess Ningyi at this poi
When Qiu Yelan kept asking her husband about the thing, in the third branch, Madame Shi just asked her maids to get out. She asked He Shuijin wonderingly, "Why are you so serious?""My sixth sister-in-law, I have a thing to ask you, which concerns the future of our branch. Please tell me the truth!" He Shuijin was always diplomatic with a ready smile. At this moment she was serious without an expression. What she asked made Madame Shi get nervous. "What happened? Please tell me."Though at this moment there were only the two in the room, He Shuijin asked in a low voice, "Princess of Wei is slandered. Who did it? Do you have any idea?"Madame Shi glazed over and then she became unhappy, "She is the cousin of Qiu Yelan. Does it have anything to do with me? She is in trouble, but why do you ask me?"Originally, Madame Shi was jealous that He Shuijin bypassed her to take over the business of the family. Hearing what she said, sh
No wonder Sir Jibei, who was used to seeing thousands of soldiers and horses kill each other, was so out of control. He was already old enough to retire, but he was still coming all the way to Shazhou, night and day, with his old wounds. For what? Just to investigate the attack on Jiang Qizheng and her other party?No!His real purpose was to settle the dispute between the first, third, and fourth branches!On the way, Sir Jibei had already thought it over that the dispute between his nephews and grandnephews had become so acute that it could no longer be suppressed! So, this time, he couldn't listen to Marquess Qin and he had to make the first branch and the third branch compensate the fourth branch so that the Jiang Family wouldn't be at war with each other once they, the old, died!If necessary, he even intended to let Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing withdraw from the Western Army!But now...The tw
Sir Jibei was not easy to deal with as Ling Zui thought.He just never suspected Jiang Qizheng and Ou Qinglan.After all, in the eyes of the elders, the former was a typical lady from a noble family, who was simple, innocent, and weak. And despite her recognized force, the latter was not a deep one. Anyway, the two were sheltered children to Sir Jibei.Furthermore, they were part of his own family.So, Si Jibei could never guess that the death of Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing was basically planned and executed by the two “terrified” juniors. And the black sheep of the family Jiang Yadan, whom he had the almost overwhelming desire to kill, just bore the blame for them as the first true-born son of the fourth branch.But he suspected Qiu Jinglan, the savior of his two children!So, after giving some comfort to Jiang Qizheng and Ou Qinglan, Sir Jibei started to get them to talk smoothly, “Thankfully, yo
Sir Jibei motioned Qiu Jinglan away with mixed feelings and then instructed his guards, "Find that vicious b*st*rd for me!"His guards left at his command.And then...He waited for more than four hours. It was getting dark and began to snow again. Jiang Yadan was still nowhere to be found."Is he scared off? It's so cold out there. As useless as he is, where can he go in such a hurry even if he brings men with him?" Thinking of which, Sir Jibei couldn't sit tight. He wanted to kill Jiang Yadan as he was mad back then. But how could he kill Jiang Yadan after he calmed down?After all, Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing couldn't come back to life. There was no turning back among the fourth branch, the first branch, and the third branch. Killing Jiang Yadan would only make things worse. As a senior of the Jiang Family, how could Sir Jibei kill another junior?The living was more important than the dead. Eve
