Though the news that Madame Zhuang would return to Jing City created a disturbance in the court, she didn't arrive yet. There were so many things to deal with.
For Qiu Yelan, the rumor which ruined Wang Qingqian’s reputation wasn’t finished yet.
"As you are unwilling to tell me what you have found out in the Governor's Office, I will not ask you anymore." Qiu Yelan held a bolster and complained to her husband, "But her reputation should be clarified. Though Zhaoyi Miao and Prince of Wei know she is innocent, it won't be wonderful if we don't clarify the issue to the public for her."
Jiang Yashuang felt strange, "Haven’t I asked the government to clarify it for her?"
"Shall we ask our aunt to reward her something as a kind of comfort?" Qiu Yelan acted coquettishly to him. "I don't want to extort. But if the future daughter-in-law like her comes across something which will almost ruin her reputation, it will be the best way to
Qiu Yelan went out to the Flower Hall and exchanged pleasantries with Madame Shi and He Shuijin, who indeed came to explain about Wang Qingqian. “We are sisters-in-law! Now that I’m here, I’m going to cut to the chase! Earlier my family’s younger sister was indeed disappointed that she was not chosen as a princess!”Before she came, Madame Shi was prepared to make amends. It would be more humiliating to beat around the bush and waste time. So, as He Shuijin implied Qiu Yelan to clear the hall, she came right to the point, “At that time, we did want to embarrass Miss Wang and take our revenge! But, this time, it wasn’t me or the Shi family who did it!”He Shuijin supported her as well, “My sixth sister-in-law has always been a straightforward one. As long as she says no, it won’t be wrong. I can vouch for her!” She must have investigated and confirmed it when she dared to say that. Qiu Yelan was amazed in her heart, “Wasn’t it the third
"Except Qiu Jinglan and the Eighth Young Master, the most possible culprit naturally should be the remaining people of Gu!""However, if the one who was able to plan such a scheme and cause the death of the two young masters wasn’t a prominent figure of Gu, it would make no sense!""For example, Deng Yi. This man is the only one who was sent away to hide by the Young Prince of Duke of Guangyang when he sensed that the Gu Family’s regime had been in its death throes!""But Deng Yi's whereabouts are hard to find. If it were he who did it this time, we should have found some traces. Without any traces, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to explain!""What about the imperial household?"His trusted subordinates gave suggestions in all sorts of gossip, but an abrupt voice silenced them all.Sir Jibei stroked his beard and pondered, "The imperial household? Do you mean... His Majesty?" He shook his h
Qiu Feng arrived in Shazhou without any trouble. It wasn't because Qiu Jinglan's subordinates completely hid it from Sir Jibei's scouts. The real reason was that Sir Jibei's top priority was to make Prince of Cai the culprit of killing his two grandnephews. Although he was furious when he knew that Qiu Feng was about to come, he decided to keep pretending not to know after weighing his options. After all, he really didn't have the time.Besides, what could he do when he saw Qiu Feng? Beating him up wasn’t enough and Jiang Qizheng might be upset about it. Killing him would make his grandniece a widow and his grand grandnephew a fatherless child. Sir Jibei couldn't do things like that. So, he might as well not see him.However, not seeing Qiu Feng didn't make Sir Jibei feel happy. So, he didn't mention sending Jiang Qizheng and others to Shazhou to rest, "Does that man rush here to find Zheng'er? I won't let him see her."He wanted to tort
Though Qiu Feng's origin was striking, he was not the person who would take advantage of it. That was also what Qiu Jinglan and Ren Ziyong meant. So, he would not make any impact on the overall situation. They arranged accommodation in the guest house for Qiu Feng. Qiu Jinglan talked about the past with Ren Ziyong for a while and then they got down to business. If Sir Jibei chose to focus on the overall situation, it was time for Han Jishan, the temporary general, to set aside.It took Sir Jibei some time to prepare the human testimony, material evidence, and contractors inside Jing City to take control of the overall situation. So, he blocked the delivery of the message that his nephews died to Jing City. As a consequence, in Jing City, people thought that Jiang Qizheng was murdered while others were safe. So, Madame Zhuang, who appeared at the Jiang Family suddenly, scared the whole Jiang Family out of their wits."Are those scouts along the way al
Qiu Yelan returned to the first branch's house sullenly. At that moment Marquess Qin was asking them what had happened. It was not her turn when Qiu Yelan came in. She finally came to realize that she looked down upon her mother-in-law after she listened for a while. The reason why she brought a hammer was to kill Jiang Tianao in the mess.But it was Madame Dou who was eager to protect her husband. She took a blow for him."Though Yashuang is excellent, you are just a mother-in-law. Aren't you afraid of being killed by your father-in-law?" Qiu Yelan heard the first branch complaining hysterically. She was in a mess. "Or are you willing to sacrifice yourself to avenge your daughter's death?"She was anxious about how to explain for her mother-in-law. Madame Zhuang said, "Nonsense! The wound in Madame Dou's head is made by something blunt. How could I hurt her without a weapon? I heard my daughter-in-law coming to find me. I was in a rush
While the first branch was crying and complaining, the fourth branch was not much better.Because Qiu Yelan's pregnancy was influenced, she was personally sent back to the courtyard by Madame Zhuang to prevent miscarriage. No one knew if it was because of her status as an official daughter-in-law and the fact that she was pregnant that Madame Zhuang was very attentive to her and offered many words of comfort and understanding.However, the people around Qiu Yelan didn't have a good ending, especially Mrs. Zhou, who was usually the most dignified, was publicly admonished by Madame Zhuang, "Since your madame is young, she doesn't know how to be perfunctory. But you have been serving in the backyard for ages. It is also said that you ever served Princess Ruan. How can you know nothing? Why was the Old Master so besotted? He certainly knew that your madame was pregnant but still sent her to the first branch. Why didn't you do anything to prevent him?"
Madame Tao, who claimed to be ill, was half-supported on the bed. She frowned as she listened to Mom Hu’s whisper of what happened this day, “I hear that Dr. Lin has diagnosed the first madame. Even if she can get through it, she may no longer see things through her eyes.”“What did Chaohai say?”“Lady Huizhi cried for a long time, but Old Master only let someone take her back to her room for rest...” Mom Hu answered, “He took Old Master Tianao to the study and talked with him alone.” After a pause, she continued, “I don’t know what they were talking about.”Madame Tao sighed, “The first branch has colluded with the third branch to put the group of Qizheng at risk. As Tianchi’s wife came back, she tried to put the first branch to death. How could their grudges be resolved? It’s just because that bad something has happened to someone important of both sides and so it seems not to be the case to punish someone or not! I’m wondering what Ch
Su He took Jiang Yashuang's order, going out of the mansion to ask Qiu Qian about the matter. But she had to go back before she left. She told Qiu Yelan that Madame Zhuang vomited blood and fainted. Her mother-in-law was in poor health. As a daughter-in-law, she could not enjoy delicious foods cozily to prevent miscarriage. She went to visit Madame Zhuang with her maids right away.By this time, the doctor had arrived. The servants stood around her. The atmosphere in the room was tense. Seeing Madame Zhuang lying in a daze on the bed, he was trembling as he felt Mrs. Zhuang's pulse. Jiang Yashuang looked after his mother in front of her bed. When he saw his wife coming, he went up to her with a slight frown and asked her in a low voice, "What brings you here? Don't force yourself. I can take care of our mother.""I'm fine. She even needs a doctor. I have to be here." Qiu Yelan bit her lips, "What's the matter with our mother?""I think s
