Chapter 452 Interlocking Stratagems?
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

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.

"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

“Our father always deeply respects this eldest uncle, regarding him as his own father.” Jiang Tianqi wiped his cold sweat, uncovering worries and fears in his tone, “Certainly, he mustn’t hear the death. But now, our father’s elder brother died while all grown men are serving around our father. We can’t just send our butlers or bodyguards to Kui County. What should we do?”Nobody could blame Jiang Tianqi for his unsuitable behavior now. Even if Marquess Qin’s health condition had been improved, he was still on the bed. And the most important thing was that the sad news of his brothers’ deaths would strike his struggles for life. Otherwise, he shouldn’t hold Madame Tao’s hands to say the words hidden in his heart.Under this circumstance, Marquess Qin must give up his last struggle for life after hearing that Kui Xiannan died and go with his brother.All people were in silence for a long while. Jiang Tianqi looked at the fourth branch, “M

"Is Hong Shan pregnant?" Jiang Tianqi had a showdown with his nephew to deal with the situation after the pillar of the family fell. Madame Zhuang, who was waiting for her son in the fourth branch, had a pale face, "Are you sure?""Because she hasn't been pregnant for a long time, the doctor doesn't dare to confirm it, but he also says that she may well be pregnant." The servant sent by Madame Wen said cautiously, "Madame let me come here to ask you... What if Hong Shan is really pregnant?"Qiu Yelan, who was also waiting for her husband, had a twitch at the corner of her mouth, thinking that fortunately Chu Yitong had just been sent back to the yard by Madame Zhuang. Otherwise, she would be so annoyed.But Madame Zhuang was just as annoyed as her eldest daughter-in-law. After rubbing her forehead for a long while, she said lukewarmly, "What about Hong Shan herself? Would she like to be with Dan'er or would she like to marry another pers

This night, Jiang Yashuang served a bowl of medicine to Marquess Qin. Suddenly, Marquess Qin asked, "Kui Xiannan died?""What do you say?" Jiang Yashuang was taken aback, considering if somebody serving him just now leaked. Jiang Yashuang disagreed in the mouth, "My eldest grand uncle can't get up now. But it's no big deal. And for the return of the eldest uncle’s family, my eldest grand uncle gets a higher spirit and becomes healthier.""I dreamed that he said goodbye to me." Marquess Qin said weakly.Jiang Yashuang kept calm, "You must worry too much about my eldest grand uncle so that you dreamed about him at night. It can't be real.""Just go into mourning!" Marquess Qin closed his eyes and said weakly, "He is the eldest brother of our generation. Don't trifle his mourning things for me. And pay attention to the people of condolence. Don't send children of grandsons to temporize him. Your generations go in condolence. Ma
The Counterattack of the Downcast Queen Chapter 459 One-year-old Birthday Banquet
But no matter how empty the national treasury was, it was not possible to keep highborn ladies from marriage. It was basically impossible to save on these expenses. It was no wonder that Marquess Qin treated Xue Chang so favourably. Faced with the amount of money the court needed to spend, if there hadn’t been a prime minister who was good at filling the national treasury without harassing the people, he would have exploited their people!Qiu Yelan sighed for a while about the pressure on the national treasury. And then she suddenly thought of Chu Chunxiao, “Chunxiao is about the same age as Yongfu. She is 20 years old this year. Even though Yongfu doesn’t marry, she has gotten engaged. It has been three or five years now, hasn’t it? They can’t continue to force her to marry the Duke of Puyang, can they?”Jiang Yashuang was reminded of this. He pondered for a moment and said, “All right, you should go to the palace in a couple of days and put the fee
