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
Mom Hu told Marquess Qin. He didn't object but said, "Even if the medicine can be found, Madame Zhuang's title of nobility has to be taken away as a punishment!"Jiang Yashuang just frowned and did not say anything. He had no time to argue with his grandfather because he only hoped his mother could get better quickly. Besides, his mother had beaten her sister-in-law so hard in public that Madame Dou was almost dying. And now everyone in Jing City heard about the news. This level of punishment was not heavy. Besides, Madame Zhuang didn't tyrannize others by virtue of her title of nobility. With the relationship between the fourth branch and Empress Dowager Jiang, he believed that Madame Zhuang could regain the title sooner or later.So, he asked the servants to keep the secret in case she should be stimulated.But the first branch created problems for them. They learned that the fourth branch was willing to take pills to cure Madame Dou t
Jiang Yahong was puzzled at first and then shocked when he received the message from his sister-in-law. He wandered around the room for a while before making up his mind, "Since the hand-stamped and privately sealed confession has already been written to Jiang Yashuang, how can I refuse his wife's request?"This might be a little difficult for him at ordinary times. But now Madame Dou was lingering on with her last breath. Besides, half of the first branch was focusing on her and half on getting justice back from the fourth branch. The chaos was perfect for him to do this.So, he was quick to finish the job and then asked his sister-in-law to inform Qiu Yelan."What's next?" Zhuang Man personally paid a visit as she pretended to visit her aunt and cousin-in-law. However, she didn't hang around for long at Madame Zhuang's place before she was thrown out by Jiang Yashuang with satisfaction. She ran to Qiu Yelan, asking her excitedly, "Is t
After hearing the news, Jiang Tianqi and his wife also crumpled to the ground, just like Jiang Tianao. By this time, no one in the Jiang Family cared about Madame Dou's death or whether she was killed by Princess Qi or not. All the attention was given to the sudden and terrible news!How did Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing die?Who killed them?What about the Western Army?What would happen to the first branch and the third branch?Would the relationship and power among the various branches of the Jiang Family be changed?As for this series of questions, not only the Jiang Family was eager to know the answers, but also all officials were trying to get information. In this context, it was natural that Madame Dou’s funeral which was once grand at the beginning became almost unattended at last. And even Jiang Tianao did not pay much attention to it. So, Madame Dou was buried in a very hasty manner.
“She was afraid that you would be angered by the Jiang Family when you returned to Jing City and so she said she didn’t want to return to Jing City on purpose to get you to travel around. Didn’t she do that for avoiding your showing up in front of the Jiang Family?” Qiu Jinglan said, sneering, “Tired of prosperous land? You don’t even think about where she comes from! She is the first daughter of the Jiang Family and the princess crowned by the emperor! She is a gentle girl of noble birth. So, it would be a relief for her to return to the prosperous Jing City immediately after such a fright! If it weren’t for you, I’m sure she would have gone back to Jing City for rest and recuperation!”Qiu Feng blushed at once, “It is thoughtless of me. I will go back and persuade her to go back to Jing City.”“Go back to Jing City?” Qiu Jinglan continued to sneer, “Have Chunfu Princess beg her maiden family to let you off the hook, will you? Or will you continue t
When Qiu Jinglan pondered how to turn Ou Qinglan down properly, clouds were gathering in Jing City.After mixed feelings of shock, doubt, confirmation, and grief, the first branch and the third branch of the Jiang Family simultaneously believed that the fourth branch must have something to do with the murderer of their sons!But this time everything changed, it was their turn to taste the feeling of being stopped by Marquis Qin, “Although your third uncle does not say who the real culprit is, his words imply that he has already known. Let’s wait until he returns. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter a lot to accuse the fourth branch unjustly. Won’t it be a shame to fall into the treacherous plots of others?”“It is my third uncle’s silence that makes us suspect the fourth branch! In this world nowadays, apart from members of our own family, what kind of the real culprit cannot be told by the third uncle?”Marquis Qin sneered, “And t
Qiu Yelan was so glad, but bitter crying started to burst from Jiang Yadan's backyard. “I have served the Eighth Young Master and the dead eighth madame so many years. I at least deserve credit for efforts. How can Madame ask me to be buried alive with the eighth madame as soon as she comes back? I can't believe it! There must be some misunderstanding!”Of course, the one who cried was Lu Zhan. In other words, she was very lucky to live until now. Before that, because of the premature death of Jiang Jinghu, when Madame Tao Junior's position as the first wife was undermined, Madame Tao had wished to kill her. But at that time, Jiang Yadan and An Zhenshang saved her life because they needed her. After Madame Tao Junior was pregnant, according to the fact, she shouldn’t have managed to escape from death this time.But she served Madame Tao Junior for many years and was keenly aware of her temper. She, remaining unkempt, knelt in front of Madame Tao Juni
Qiu Yelan actually knew that at least half of Madame Zhuang's consideration was for Qiu Jinglan, but it was at least nice to hear those warm words. After returning to the chamber, she happily summoned Mrs. Zhou, intending to take a few high-end items from her dowry to pay tribute to her mother-in-law as a token of gratitude.However, just when she spoke briefly to Mrs. Zhou, Chunran led Dongran in and both of the maids looked extremely grave!"What's wrong?" Qiu Yelan was shocked, "Is there anything wrong at Ruan's Mansion?" She at once thought of the real culprit she had speculated about earlier, "Could it be that Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing were really killed by Qiu Jinglan? Has the truth been leaked out?"Nevertheless, they shook their heads together and Dongran whispered, "Your Grace, let me speak to you alone!"After sending away the subordinates, Dongran took a deep breath before speaking, "Young master sent someone i
