As soon as they entered the General's Mansion, before the gate was closed, Qiu Yelan pulled Ruan Qingyan's sleeve in a rush, "How did you know that letter?" She, who inherited the memory of this body, didn't remember this letter, but Ruan Qingyan was adopted to the Ruan Family as an heir only half a year ago and he submitted the letter to everyone at the court—even a blind man could see there was something strange about him!
But Ruan Qingyan calmly said, "It was Ruan An who told me!"
"Ruan An?" Qiu Yelan was stunned and looked at Ruan An, the old butler who was coming from not far away.
As expected, Ruan An bowed and asked anxiously, "Was the letter used at the court?"
"Yes," Ruan Qingyan nodded and made a serious salute to him, "Thanks for your reminding, or we would be caught in big trouble!" If Ruan Qingyan didn't take out the letter in time, even if Qiu Yelan was articulate, she could only depend on Empress Jiang to muddle up t
"Why is young master Deng leaving?" Chunran and others asked inexplicably, "Does he quit learning martial arts?"Qiu Yelan said with guilty, "Maybe he missed his family." Perfunctorily, she hurriedly changed to another subject, "Cousin will attend the test on February 9th. His recent diet should be certain things that you definitely shouldn't let slide. What he has eaten for these days?Chunran paused and said, "This... has always been managed by Sister Dongran.""Cousin will finished mourning period at the end of this month, just few days left.... I guess we could fetch some meat in secret for him to build up health," Qiu Yelan's lowed her voice, "But be careful, don't let others know. If Empress Dowager's men know it as a handle, they would ruin his fame!"Su He blinked her big eyes, admiringly said, "That's why Your Grace deliberately got him pissed off! Afraid of young master Deng divulge a secret leak? I just went in and saw t
“Little b*tch! How dare you go after my Lizhang? Do you have a death wish?” Qiu Yuqing was stunned for a moment. However, she used to bully Qiu Yelan all the time. How could she be frightened so easily? Waving her cattail leaf fan like hand, she was about to rush forward to rescue Kang Lizhang at once.However, without even blink, Qiu Yelan’s white fingertips dug down violently.The moment the cold fingertips touched her eyelid lightly, Kang Lizhang had already got frightened from her heart. With a sudden force at this moment, there came a terror more terrifying than the unknown fierce pain which was the fear of getting her eyes dug out alive. Kang Lizhang who was always calm and resourceful totally blanked out.She only had one clear thought which was fear!The enormous and boundless fear!The widespread and overwhelming terror!However, although her eyes were bulged out like a goldfish by the squeeze at this mo
"Have I saved money here?" Ling Zui stunned for a moment and came to realization that this was a nice way of Qiu Yelan to give him money in order to let him take it generously.If Ruan Qingyan gave it to him, he would take it easily; but he always softened himself when he saw beautiful girls. Especially for Qiu Yelan who was such a belle, he wouldn't hesitate to give her money to show his richness, how could he accept money from her instead? Then he smiled and said, "I'm sure that sister Ning Yi misremembered. I don't remember saving money at the Ruan Family." While he was talking, he shamelessly changed the referral affectionately.But as soon as he refused to accept it, Qiu Yelan was annoyed." What does this man want to do today? Did he come to drag cousin for supporting Penglai Yue and Yingzhou Yue?"Because she hadn't dealt with Ling Zui before and didn't know his temper, Qiu Yelan pondered the wording for a while and didn't know how to tal
The snow stopped in the afternoon on this day, and the thin winter sunlight transmitted slight warmth to people on the ground.Qiu Yelan went to Cuiwei Pavilion with a sour face. As soon as she entered, she saw Deng Yi frowning and sitting under the window, reading."Well, aren't you here to learn martial arts? Why are you reviewing books?" Qiu Yelan was surprised.Deng Yi glanced at her, and frowned even more, "Why are you here?""I come to guide you and give some advice." Qiu Yelan squeezed her hands, and knuckles made some crisp sounds, "But you are loafing on the job!""The day after tomorrow is the time for uncle to appraise my study, so I will return to Prince's Mansion of Guangyang," Deng Yi enviously glanced at her little white hands, but not for their good looks. Instead, he envied the great power within them, "I've practiced squatting for these days, so I have to take time reviewing."Seeing Qiu
The white-beard imperial doctor frowned with dignified complexion.Ruan Qingyan and Qiu Yelan were frightened to disturb him, so they held their breath aside. They even didn't have time to entertain Jiang Yashuang who brought this old imperial doctor.It took a long time for the old imperial doctor to loosen his grip and frowned, "Not good."Ruan Qingyan and Qiu Yelan's hearts suddenly sank!Fortunately, Jiang Yashuang asked calmly, "Can you cure him?""This time I can. But I'm not sure if it happens again." The old imperial doctor stroked his long beard. Although his complexion was dignified, Qiu Yelan discovered that he was a bit upset.Ruan Qingyan asked cautiously, "Imperial doctor, my grandfather's disease...?""It's difficult to cure him by medicine because he is old." The old imperial doctor sighed, "Especially his body has accumulated countless internal injuries since he has been engag
Why embarrassing me so soon? What I said was true!Am I a jinx so that whoever I praise, that person gets bad luck?Qiu Yelan almost lost her breath!Seeing Jiang Yashuang was looking at her with a half-smile, she got a quick wit and said, "Look, I told you that my cousin never wanted to take any notice of these girls! It's all Young Earl Ling's fault that he let them know his address, so they come here every day for my cousin! If he really cared about them, he wouldn't have sent me to tell them to leave."Jiang Yashuang reminded her kindly, "A servant said it was the butler who told you to ask them to leave.""Right! When Young Earl Ling is not here, my cousin doesn't care about Hua Shenshen or Hua Qianqian. All the people here know that. The butler can decide directly to drive her off without telling my cousin!" Qiu Yelan tried hard to describe Ruan Qingyan as one who "went to the brothel from time to time for necess
“My official mother and brother of my former family before I was adopted by Ruan Family are found. And they are being sent to the city secretly?” Ruan Qingyan said frowning, “Hua said so?”Qiu Yelan nodded, “She also said that it was because Empress Dowager Gu’s clique had failed a few times trying to rob Lian Family’s letter which was about old Princess of Xihe. Then someone stumbled on the idea of going after you.”Ruan Qianyan sneered, “Going after me? Do I look like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?”“Cousin, did you talk to your family before you were adopted by Ruan Family?” Qiu Yelan muttered to herself, “According to Hua Shenshen, your official mother and brother were about to say that you abandoned your original status and ancestral hall in order to become the young master of General’s Mansion….”She had to say that this move of Empress Dowager Gu’s clique was very diabolic!Abandoning one’s ancestral hall was
The day when Ruan Qingyan took the exam came quickly. These days, nothing happened. So, the way he went to the examination place was thought to be dangerous, where he had to kill ten people when he took one pace.... But after Ruan Qingyan went in, everything around was as usual."Do they want to strike in the examination hall?" Qiu Yelan guessed in her heart while leaning on the window of the carriage and looked at the crowd that had scattered.Dongran shook her head and said, "This is impossible. Xue Xiang won't let this thing happen." Then her voice lowered, "Even the Empress Dowager cannot offend scholars."Qiu Yelan also agreed since the imperial examination was the foundation of the country. Even if the Empress Dowager's Party did not care about one or two talented scholars, they had to prevent the Empress from deceiving."It turns out that our nervousness these days is in vain!" Qiu Yelan wiped her cold sweat an
