Fortunately, they arrived just in time. When they arrived at the lake in a hurry, they saw two maids tugging at Jiang Huizhi's sleeves and trying their best to stop her.
Seeing this, Madame Zhuang Junior and Qiu Yelan rushed up to pull Jiang Huizhi and scolded, "It's such a cold day. You said you wanted to get some fresh air. Why are you coming to the lake?"
Qiu Yelan took out her own handkerchief and wiped her niece's face, saying warmly, ''You've been blowing the cold wind for a while. If you don't go back inside, you'll be sick! There are many things going on at home nowadays. And we are already busy. We're still counting on you to help out. Don't you dare duck out of it!"
The two aunts had an unspoken message in their minds so they never mentioned that Jiang Huizhi tried to suicide. They pretended that she had come for fun. They said so while dragging her away. Jiang Huizhi was a weak girl, and now she was as thin as a stick because
Qiu Yelan didn't show mercy on Jiang Huizhi when knocking her out. Jiang Huizhi was in a coma and completely woke up two days later. At this time, praises for her pure filial piety had existed everywhere. Jiang Jingzhi, her eldest younger brother of a concubine, came to tell her the messages and advised her, "After the second great grand uncle knew it, he praised you a lot. The bird's nest you just ate was specially sent by my third great grand aunt. Now the elders all believe the rumors. It's not worth it to tell the truth instead!"After weighing carefully, Jiang Huizhi understood that Jiang Jingzhi's words were right. She gnashed her teeth for a while and sneered, "At least I have earned a reputation of filial piety! I didn't harm the Empress this time, but I can do it again next time... There will be ample time. We'll see!"However, the sister and the brother didn't know some other things. These two days Qiu Yelan finally found Jiang Tianhe and met her
The Jiang Family had had great influence in the imperial court for many years. The family had both good and bad children. Even in daylight, except for someone with a visiting card, no one dared to linger in front of the gate, let alone at midnight.Just in two seconds…The bodyguards around the sedan already pulled their arrows and swords out of their scabbards. The flickering cold light pointed directly at the shadow that ordinary people could easily ignore on the street corner. They would kill him or her immediately when something was wrong!At the same time, the gate of the Marquess's Mansion opened with a bang and two teams of fully armed bodyguards rushed out to surround the sedan, using their bodies as a barrier to protect the sedan and escorting it into the mansion quickly!"Keep one alive and find out his or her identity!" Marquess Qin got off the sedan behind the screen wall and gave an order without looking back, and then
Both Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yelan knew that although Qiu Qian grabbed the antidote from the first branch, the third branch was also suspected. Even if Madame He was seen as a bad housekeeper and made some changes during this time, it couldn't be rendered into such a bad situation in such a short period as He Shuijin laid a solid foundation for her before she left only a few months ago.As the Jiang Family didn't divide up family property or live apart, the spending of food and clothing of each branch went into public accounts, for which the third branch Madame He was responsible. If she was useless, then the problems would not only emerge in the bodyguards but also in the management of the mansion, including the shares of each branch. So, the fourth branch could find the problems and take precautions even though they never got involved in the housekeeping matters.But the monthly shares were as usual in these months. How could the third branch not be
Watching Mr. Jiang's receding figure, Jiang Yashuang turned his head and looked at his wife and said, "My grandfather...""The good thing is that Lang'er is fine." Qiu Yelan, with her eyes drifting, said lightly, "Even though we can spare the real culprit, we still need to find out who he is. Otherwise, who knows whether he will hurt us again or not?"She didn't care about the promise she made to He Shuijin because it was a matter of her son's life and death, and said, "The reason why He Shuijin insisted on staying at the eighth sister-in-law's mountain villa on purpose and refused to leave was that her first child was murdered by Madame He. This time when she found she was pregnant again, she was afraid that her child would be murdered again. So, she took advantage of the opportunity when mother was in Jing City. She offered to go there to find out the truth in the name of justice for the eighth sister-in-law and An."Jiang Yashuang said with
"The owner of the shop was used to be a guy in Qingfeng Ji." Mr. Jiang said in a weird tone, "When Qingfeng Ji was sealed up, all the crucial guys were arrested because it was famous all over the country. Those guys who were not important were released after being arrested for some time."After all, the subbranches of Qingfeng Ji were all over the country. The families and connections of regular employees added up to tens of thousands. So, it was impossible to kill all those people. Especially since many of them were skilled, it would be a pity not to reuse them.Therefore, except for important people, those who were not close to the Gus and were quite talented were released after being fined.The owner of this preserved fruit shop was one of them.There were a lot of people in the group so the maids couldn't know everyone. The people Qiu Yelan sent out to buy the preserved fruit had no idea who owned the shop. He just heard
Qiu Qian chose the first one, Yishu, from the list Qiu Yelan showed her, which was given by Madame Tao."Commandery Princess Yishu?" Qiu Yelan read it twice. She smiled, "You are really a business woman. You are so considerate!""It is the first one. It is obvious that Madame Tao and Marquess Qin wanted me to choose it." Qiu Qian waved her hands, "I guess they want me, and even my brother and sister Mei, to be nice and meek, to make it easier for them. It's just a title. If I can win them over, why not?"Qiu Yelan thought so, too. When she got these alternate titles, she was prepared to persuade her even if Qiu Qian didn't choose this one. But she didn't expect Qiu Qian was smart."Since you refuse to regain the identity of the daughter of Prince's Mansion of Xihe, the reason for giving you the title is that you have saved my son. But you cannot tell the truth about the origin of the antidote!" Qiu Yelan began to explain the
When Jiang Tan and his party went to find He Shuijin, they didn’t know where Shuijin had gone. So, for fear that they would miss her, they walked along slowly to find her. But they travelled much faster when they came back to Jing City. As each of them took more than one horse, they galloped back by changing horses. It only took them two days and a night to reach Jing City!When they arrived at Linlang Jewelry Store, which was a dowry of He Shuijin, they violently rushed into the store and dragged the manager away, even though she was a small and slight woman. And then they, without drawing breath, hurried to Marquess Qin’s Mansion to report.Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yelan were waiting for their news. So, after hearing that, they were both surprised, “Just bring her and the hairpin there. Let’s see how she is going to tell us!”A few moments later, the disheveled manager was brought here. She still cried out to complain of being wronged. A
Compared to the chaos that followed the sudden death of Sir Jibei, the Jiang Family was now in a real mess. Although the situation today was not as precarious as it was during the summer of that year. Back then, once something happened to Marquess Qin, the Jiang Family would be comprehensively devastated. Now they were ever-more-powerful than others. But that only meant that outsiders could do nothing to them. When they fought with each other in the family, they had a lot of scruples.The first branch and the third branch were wary of the fourth branch’s military power. Especially, Jiang Tianchi was on his way back to Jing City. Who would know that how many people he had with him and what his means were? He even didn’t care about Beihu’s invading. Did he really come back to see Sir Jibei one last time? Anyway, Sir Jibei was dead! Perhaps he was coming at them!After all, Beihu was a threat circling around. Even if Marquess Qin didn’t die this time, h
