Chapter 412 The Soft Underbelly of Emperor.
Emperor didn't expect that he would meet an outsider in the imperial garden. He was surprised slightly. But then he raised a hand and set her free from the etiquette, “Madame Qiu, please stand up!"
Though they were unfamiliar with each other, they were still relatives. Since they encountered each other, they could not just leave without greeting. So, after Qiu Yelan stood up, he said, “I hear that your mother-in-law and you come to the imperial palace today. I think you are in the Hall of Taishi. Why are you here? Has my mother asked you to do anything?”
"Princess Royal Yongfu was afraid that we might disturb my mother-in-law’s lively conversation with Empress Dowager. So, she asked me to come out.” Qiu Yelan told him the truth, “Princess wanted to invite me to enjoy the dance performance in the waterside pavilion. But I know nothing about dance. I was afraid to interrupt her refined interest so I just brought my maids here to take a walk. I didn't e

Not only did Qiu Yelan not understand how Commandery Princess Lihui was involved with Jiang Yadan, at the moment, in the Mansion of Duke of Huainan, but Young Prince Chu Weixian was also pleading with Duke of Huainan, “Our family is already a royal family, and you have been Minister of the royal clan. Why should we worry about wealth? Even though the Jiang Family is the most powerful in the country, they treat you with courtesy and respect. The Jiang Family has so many followers. Even if my sister marries Jiang Yadan, how much care will they give to our family? No one doesn’t know that the Jiang Family is now in fierce internal strife. Jiang Yadan is the first trueborn son of the fourth branch. The fourth branch of the Jiang Family has achieved a dominant position in the army but it is not powerful in the court! It is not wise of you to do this...”“What do you know?” Chu Xiao interrupted him with a frown, “If the fourth branch of the Jiang Family were not so wea

It was not a business that could be undertaken in a day to figure out whether Chu Yitong was suitable for being Jiang Yadan’s step-wife. After Madame Zhuang asked someone to handle it, her attention shifted to the pair of Ling Zui and Zhuang Man.So, it was only natural that Qiu Yelan received instructions from her mother-in-law. “I’ll send someone to invite your aunt to bring Man’er over for a visit. When I talk to your aunt, you should call Man’er to your house and sound her out about her thoughts!”“Rest assured, mother. I’ll find out what Man’er is thinking!” Qiu Yelan took the order with a smile.Qiu Yelan told the whole story, and after that, Zhuang Man burst out laughing, bending down on a pillow, “My aunt has been away for so many years that she actually thinks that marrying me to Ling Zui is something good for me. If the thing goes out, everyone in the court will say I’ve offended her! If we were not blood relations or I didn’t know th

A few moments later, He Shuijin was led in. Just as Madame Zhuang had said, her eyes were still slightly red. But she had calmed down, and after greeting and taking her seat, she exchanged a few pleasantries and said, "I've come to apologize to you today, Aunt!"Madame Zhuang said unexpectedly, "What happened?""Today I went out to inspect some stores. I felt familiar with some of the items in a store, so I asked someone to take me for a closer look. I thought they looked very similar to some of the items in my eighth sister-in-law's dowry." When He Shuijin said this, Madame Zhuang's face became unpleasant."I was afraid that I might be mistaken, so I asked the shopkeeper who had taken them. But I found it was someone from our mansion!" He Shuijin was apologetic, "Firstly, I have been in charge of the internal affairs since I entered the mansion. No matter who did this, I am responsible for it! Secondly, I didn't think that it was really

He Shuijin took the bracelet given by Madame Zhuang and returned to the third branch. She talked to Madame He with her version, "Since the fourth aunt came back, the first branch caused such a big mess! Now the matter in Shazhou is settled finally. I am worrying if she wants to strike our room again. After finding those dowries of the eighth sister-in-law in the pawnshop, how dare I not report?"Originally, Madame He was very upset that He Shuijin had taken the initiative to tell the fourth branch about this matter and helped her. But when she heard this, her expression changed, "I don't know if Qing's grievance will be cleaned in this life! Does she want to kill everybody in this matter?""Mother!" He Shuijin's eyes were red. She didn't say anything, and she took out her veil and whimpered, "I have the same deep resentment towards the fourth branch like you. But, think about the eldest aunt... I am so worried that Madame Zhuang will treat you badly.

"I thought it strange before. He Shuijin had always been capable of dealing with all the things. She even wouldn't easily offend a servant if there was no reason. Besides, my mother is famous outside. She put her head in the noose at this critical moment. She not only implicated the whole backyard of Jiang Yadan, but even made the children of Jiang Yadan's concubines hate her bitterly afterwards. What exactly does she want to do with those behaviors that totally go against her typical temperament?" Qiu Yelan rubbed her forehead with a grave look, "Now it seems that she is probably pregnant again!""Is the fourteenth madame pregnant?" Su He said in surprise, "Why haven't any hints been leaked?""Think about the end of her first pregnancy. Does she dare to leak the news?" Qiu Yelan stroked her swollen belly and said with a terrible face, "That person is both her mother-in-law and her aunt. He Shuijin should consider it carefully even though she wants t
