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
Qiu Yelan took a look at the silk, and more than a dozen names were on it. At the bottom, there were three blurred characters that couldn't be seen after checking, "Something has been changed!""They..." Qiu Yelan looked at the silk and her face looked bad because she didn't know any of them. Princess Royal Yongfu brought it from the palace so she could guess who they were. She ordered, "Ask Mistress Gu to come here!"Mistress Gu prepared things for Jiang Huizhu and others in a house not far away. She came quickly and said respectfully, "Your Grace!" In fact, Mistress Gu's family background was good among these concubines so she didn't need to say this. But after hearing about Madame Zhuang's methods, she behaved well and regarded herself as a maid when she saw these masters."Do you know these names?" Qiu Yelan asked her to come over and handed the silk to her."They are the Imperial Guards!" Mistress Gu, who used to be Pri
After Jiang Tianchi fell and was carried back to the fourth branch, Jiang Yadan and Jiang Yashuang took turns taking care of him for two days and nights before he woke up.After waking up, he still asked about Sir Jibei, "Is my uncle buried?"It happened to be that Jiang Yashuang was guarding him at this time. He saw that although Jiang Tianchi was awake, his energy was damaged, and he did not fully recover. He whispered softly to comfort him, "Father, don’t worry. My youngest grand uncle’s mourning hall is still there. Grandfather and my youngest grand aunt both said that since you were back, they must bury my youngest grand uncle after you could get better.""When my uncle was dying, did he feel relieved?" Jiang Tianchi closed his eyes. His voice was not high but very oppressive as he was accustomed to commanding thousands of troops."My youngest grand uncle passed away peacefully but not contentedly." Jiang Yashuang, who
In fact, as for the cause of the difference in Jiang Tianchi's attitude, not only did Jiang Yashuang and his wife not know, but also Jiang Yadan muttered inwardly, "I'm twelve years older than Jiang Yashuang, but I'm much worse than him! I thought it would be good if my father didn't hang me up to beat me when he came back. But my father seems to like me more."And then he changed his mind, "Did my father still not know what I had done these years? Because he just arrived home." He knew that letters that were sent from Jing City to the Jiang Tianchi couple always reported good news about children of the fourth branch rather than bad news.Thinking about this, Jiang Yadan was both guilty and afraid. He thought that the reason why his father was very kind to him was that his father believed in his excellence. When Jiang Tianchi found out the truth later, he might turn his face ruthlessly. But Jiang Yadan didn't dare to tell all the bad things that he h
Jiang Tianchi got along well with Madame Tao, which showed a harmonious and lively picture between a mother and a son. However, when it came to Madame Ou, there was far less harmony. Actually, it was far more than disharmony. Madame Ou even disdained to see him!Even if Jiang Tiancan and Jiang Tianhe, Madame Ou's son and daughter, came over and tried to persuade their mother earnestly outside the window, Madame Ou still spat out one word in the room, "No!""Mother, why are you so hardhearted?" Jiang Tiancan said in earnest, "Even if you ignore the filial piety of my fourth brother to my father, at least you should consider for my fourth brother. He comes back after a long journey and pays respect to you before back to health! How can you bear it?"The door opened when he just finished speaking. Madame Ou appeared behind the door. But she didn't seem to be softhearted at all. Instead, she put on a chilly face. Glancing coldly at the junio
After the burial of Sir Jibei, the majority of people who came to lament returned to the Jiang Family home for the last funeral banquet. Until now, the mourning was over. Everyone involved was so exhausted, especially the Jiang Family. They were too exhausted to say a word.So, the He Family logically offered to take He Shuijin to take good care of her, "You've just finished a big event. And Shuijin is pregnant. She needs someone to take care of her. So, I take her home to have someone take care of her for a few days."Madame He murdered He Shuijin's unborn child for a reason, which caused her eldest grandson to death. Anyway, she murdered her grandson. How could she not feel unashamed and uneasy? But now, she was expecting He Shuijin could have a safe delivery. So, she gladly agreed, "I'm thinking that we are all so busy and exhausted right now. I'm afraid that we may not take good care of her! "This matter only frightened He Shuijin and her
Empress Xin's pregnancy made the Jiang Family less sorrowful and more rejuvenated after the exhaustion of holding the funeral, except for the first branch. At a time when Beijiang was needing more soldiers to reinforce the border, any pregnancy or giving birth to a child of the imperial family had always been considered as an auspicious omen since ancient times, not to mention the Empress's pregnancy.Marquess Qin decided right away to send this piece of good news to the frontline at a speed of great urgency to boost morale!Regrettably, the whole Jiang Family was now wearing mourning dresses. For fear of bringing bad luck to the imperial heir, they were unable to go to the palace to visit Empress Xin.However, Jiang Tianhe decided right away to send her trusted subordinate to congratulate her daughter and to secretly ask about the gender of the imperial heir."Now I'm in the early period of pregnancy and the imperial doctor
Qiu Yelan told her husband what she was thinking about. But he shook his head after thinking for a while, "Though my father doesn't care so much about whether a kid is the trueborn one or not as my mother does, he still cares about kids in our Jiang Family."A concubine could be bought and sold like goods. So, concubines were not so important that even a master of a branch would value her."But they are still mothers who gave birth to my nieces and nephews. The reason why Heng'er doesn't speak a word right now is that he saw how his mother died, as you know." Qiu Yelan reminded him, "The day when my eighth sister-in-law took them to visit my father, my father found that Heng'er was the oldest kid so he wanted to talk with him about his study. But he didn't answer a word. And my eighth sister-in-law's expression even changed. It was Jiang Gan who reminded my eighth brother. And then my brother interrupted them to cover the embarrassment."
