Chapter 434 Tensions
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.

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."
