Although Qiu Yelan and the other two were happy to see Zhuang Man and her husband being embarrassed, they were just making harmless jokes. Now the words deliberately stirred up troubles. They wouldn't stand by idly.
"You'd better make it clear, Miss! It involves Man'er's reputation!" Qiu Yelan squinted and pointed to the person who had just spoken in the crowd. In fact, the person shoved aside hurriedly, trying to muddle through. But Qiu Yelan had learned martial arts. She could see and hear more clearly than ordinary people. Qiu Yelan took aim at the girl as soon as she said the wrong words. How could the girl hide away?
At the moment, other people around her subconsciously gave way and immediately showed the girl in bright colors!
"Everyone knows that Princess Royal Maode and Earl of Jingchuan deeply love my brother. They wholeheartedly tried to choose a good and beloved wife for my brother. That was the reason why he didn't get marrie
Jiang Qizheng and Qiu Yelan were worried about something so they were absent-minded at the whole wedding banquet. It was already midnight when they returned to the Mansion so they didn't want to disturb Madame Zhuang.It was until the next day that they went to find Madame Zhuang to greet her and tell her about the banquet. They took the opportunity to ask her, "Is what Miss Lu of the Lu Family said yesterday true or false?"Madame Zhuang frowned and said, "The Lu Family? How dare they provoke Man'er and Zui'er?" After saying that, she continued to say, "Zui'er's people in the backyard haven't left yet and it's not Man'er's intention instead of Zui'er's."Qiu Yelan and Jiang Qizheng all felt incredible, "What did Man'er think?"With years of friendship, the two of them really didn't see that Zhuang Man was so broad-minded."She said that Zui'er would clean the backyard before she entered the family. Although it
Last November, Sir Jibei, the youngest one in his generation of the Jiang Family, just died.It was just only six months that people of the Jiang Family didn’t finish the mourning apart from grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Kui Xiannan was ill now, which was an obvious blow to the Jiang Family in Jing City.What made Marquess Qin sad most was that it was the remaining members of the Gus who assassinated Jiang Jingzhan. And Marquess Qin was hit hard after receiving the news for this reason!Therefore, Marquess’s Mansion could be in the charge of Madame Tao.Madame Tao told the whole story to the younger generation in grief, "More than half a month ago, Jingzhan went out to race horses. When he passed a dam, a woman suddenly rushed out under the dam and almost frightened the horse. Jingzhan was going to be angry, but when he saw that the woman was only thirteen or fourteen years old and very beautiful, he changed his att
At nightfall, Marquess Qin took a breath and was aware that Madame Tao was next to him. He then asked, "Did kids know about that?"Madame Tao rose to her feet, went to the table, and poured a cup of hot ginseng tea for him. After Marquess Qin finished the tea, she replied, "Mourners have been scheduled to set off tomorrow. They are packing up now."Marquess Qin asked about who those mourners were and was in silence for a while. And then he said, "You also believe my eldest brother...""It's always wise to play safe." Generally speaking, Jiang Jingzhan, one of the great-grandchildren, was not worth many condolences, let alone all mourners there were his elders, Jiang Yayi in the third branch, Jiang Yadan in the fourth branch, and Jiang Tianxiao in the eighth branch. They went there for Kui Xiannan rather than Jiang Jingzhan. Madame Tao said calmly, "You can't go!"Feeling absent-minded, Marquess Qin sighed and said, "If my th
"That's why you preferred the first branch all these years. Even if Kunlun came back to persuade you, you didn't want to follow…" Madame Tao twittered, "We thought that you appreciated Jiang Yayun. You know that the kids have grown up and they get married and have their own kids now. But brothers and sisters are not friendly to each other. It will hurt them if the elder is unfair and you still prefer the first branch. Are you ill-intentioned?""Just let it be!" Marquess Qin looked up at the top of the tent and said with no expression, "If I had been so cruel, I would have gone back to Kui County with my third brother to accompany my eldest brother, regardless of whether they were alive or dead. Just when Tianjiao died, the Jiang Family had no way to come back! Even though I don't have the energy to fight for these kids who are without conscience, I don't want to see the whole family being reduced to the situation in which the Tao Family and the Duan Family used t
Madame Zhuang learned that as well. So, she was a bit surprised, “Empress Dowager and Emperor... Isn’t it Empress Dowager and Emperor who are in charge? Why would you ask me, a wife of an official?”It was impossible for Marquess Qin to move in this condition, let alone go to Mount Dizi. He could not go, neither could the Jiang Family. So, of course, the imperial family couldn’t go there for a summer holiday, either! How could the Jiang Family let go of power just because Marquess Qin was ill? They would seize power to prevent others from being in a panic when the news about Marquess Qin’s condition was spread!Normally, Empress Dowager Jiang and Emperor should have known better and taken the initiative to cancel this year’s plan to spend the summer!However, now they sent someone to ask if they should go there for the summer. Even though Madame Zhuang was not very good at politics, she also instinctively felt that something was wrong. A
There were signs that a war would break out in Xijiang. The court was prepared for it and so it was not a big surprise.But it didn’t mean that they could take it easy. The war was all about money. Even if nowadays Darui was still rich, fighting on two fronts placed a lot of stress!And at this juncture, the actual regent, Marquess Qin, was seriously ill, which could be traced to the remaining members of the Gu family. The internal struggle of the Jiang Family was no longer a secret... Things didn’t look good with all the mess that was going on!“It is a battle that can’t afford to lose!” Duke of Huainan Chu Xiao headed for Xue Chang as soon as he received the news of the war in Xijiang, “Prime Minister Xue, please give some advice!”Xue Chang screwed up his eyes and stroked his moustache, “As an official of Darui, how can I not hope that Emperor’s army can pacify Xijiang as soon as possible? But I don’t know anything about
Qiu Yelan had met a few of Jiang Yashuang’s staff. In order to show trust and closeness to certain subordinates, it was customary for the master to introduce them to pay a visit to the lady of the house. There were five people who had met with Qiu Yelan alone. Xun Yuxi was one of them. He was someone who had been known by Qiu Yelan before she got married. So, there was no need to introduce him again.The rest four were Tang Sipeng, Dongfang Que, Yan Rong, and Lu He.“Now I most rely on Tang Sipeng. He is not good at the imperial examination. He is over forty years old this year while he is just Juren.” Jiang Yashuang told his wife in private, “When he first came to me, I saw that he was well organized and he talked about his official duties in a sensible way. So, I asked him if he wanted to continue on the path of the imperial examinations. But after hesitating, he decided to follow me to the army. The man is not young but I consider hi
"Mi Yinyin was kind of crazy already when she was in the Mansion of Sir Jibei, and then the Thirteenth Young Master wrote the divorce letter to her after she was sent back to her maiden family. Although it became a peaceful divorce after Madame Shi intermediated, she was no longer the thirteenth madame after all. Mi Yinyin became even crazier after she knew it." Su He gossiped about the things she overheard, "She was tossing around at home every day and it made everyone miserable. Although Old Madame Mi and Madame Chu loved her, they couldn't leave her to disturb the lives of other family members. So, they pampered and persuaded her into being sent away to stay at the village outside the city."Qiu Yelan asked, "When was this?""It was the days around last Lunar New Year's Eve. I think they were afraid that she might spoil the auspicious atmosphere of the festival, right?" Su He made her guess, "She stayed in the village for over a month. After the f
