A long time later, when Qiu Yelan was about to speak, Jiang Qisheng suddenly walked in. With a poker face, she rushed to Qiu Yelan without saying a word, and she slapped her!
Qiu Yelan would naturally not allow her to do that, so in a great surprise, she angrily dodged to avoid her attack, and shouted to Jiang Yashuang, who just stood up in shock, "You'd better explain it at once!"
Jiang Yashuang hurriedly held Jiang Qisheng and said, "Sister! What are you doing!"
Jiang Qisheng struggled to free herself but couldn't make it. She gritted her teeth and scolded, "Get out of my way! Let me teach this shameless bitch a lesson!"
"What are you thinking? We are locked here!" Jiang Yashuang said angrily, "We have no way to get out of here, but could only stay together! Don't talk nonsense about Commandery Princess Ningyi and ruin her good name!"
At this time, Tao Peibin also entered the room, and she closed the door afterwards.
Madame Tao should be in her fifties. But she was good at keeping fit and seemed to be in her early forties. Her blood kinship with Empress Jiang was obvious. She looked just like Empress Jiang in her senior years.Different from Empress Jiang's temperament, Madame Tao was amiable and kind. The Mother and daughter had the same quality of keeping calm in an emergency. Even when the juniors who were supposed to go to the lake for fun returned earlier angrily with a strange little girl, Madame Tao would still smile, "Hey, why did you come back so early today? Didn't you say that you wouldn't have lunch?"She glanced outside and smiled again, "Where are Zheng'er and others? Why are you back?" Only then did she talk to Qiu Yelan, "You look strange to me."Jiang Qisheng glanced at Qiu Yelan hard and cut in, "Grandma, this is the Commandery Princess Ningyi next door! Cousin Zheng'er and Cousin He kindly asked her to go to the poetry meeting. Guess what
Closing the door, Qiu Yelan threw herself upon the bed and made a roll with the quilt in her arms. She looked at the top of the bed canopy, stunned. She had to get up earlier and eat less this morning because she was going out. She was tired with the event and it didn't take long for her to feel sleepy. Soon she went into a sound sleep....Not knowing how long she had slept, she suddenly heard someone calling, "Commandery Princess Ningyi? Commandery Princess Ningyi?"Qiu Yelan answered vaguely and suddenly woke up. She saw it was already dim inside the room. Obviously it was almost time for dinner. In the dim room, she could barely recognize Jiang Yashuang, who had changed into a robe, a jade belt and a gold crown. His face was obscured in the shadow. His eyes were drooping but not pointed at Qiu Yelan's bed."How dare you come?" Qiu Yelan rubbed her eyes and rolled up, saying sulkily, "When the door opened, we were innocent with neat clothes.
Although Madame Tao had persuaded Jiang Yashuang to discuss the marriage in person, he didn't expect Qiu Yelan would refuse, "I am no good enough for a gentleman....""If you were not good enough, no one would dare to call themselves beautiful in this world." Now that he had made the offer of marriage, Jiang Yashuang felt much at ease and said straightforwardly, "In fact, I am no match of you in social status and looks. I am just a civilian. I dare beg you just because of my aunt.""Anyway, that's what it means." Qiu Yelan said plainly, "If you talk about appearance, I actually think that if I marry you, everybody will say that I have married up. I have nothing in this world except myself."As for the dowry of Old Princess Lian and Princess Ruan, with the prestige of Jiang family, it's worth nothing even plus the entire property of Prince's Mansion of Xihe.Jiang Yashuang thought for a while and said, "I know what you are worried a
Qiu Yelan glared at the careless maid. Seeing her hesitant appearance, she knew that she had eavesdropped on the door for so long. If she didn't hear all of her conversation with Jiang Yashuang, she might hear something about it. However, Qiu Yelan didn't want to mention this now, so she brushed her sleeves and said, "All right. I'm coming out. Where's the dinner? Why don't you serve the dishes?"Su He hurriedly ran to serve the food. Mrs. Zhou, Chunran and others heard that she was out of the inner chamber, so they all gathered to comfort her.Qiu Yelan was absent-minded and perfunctory. She finished her dinner and rinsed her mouth under the service of everyone. Then she remembered to ask, "Has the matter of Yunyi Restaurant spread to the Prince's Mansion?"Mrs. Zhou sighed, "The servants outside are talking about it, but you can rest assured that no one dares to come here to make trouble, even if they are gossiping in private, they are also h
Qiu Yelan narrowed her eyes and sharply criticized him and said, "I have always heard that Master Qiu is a great warrior. Why are you eavesdropping on us in a tree like a thief?"Qiu Feng did not deny it, "It is true that I have been hiding in a tree, but this is because in the evening, after hearing the rumors outside, your brother, Ruan Qingyan was worried that Your Grace is worried too much, in case you can't get over it... That's why he asked me to protect you."He solemnly said, "Although I have been watching Your Grace after arriving, I don't deliberately eavesdrop on your conversation. It is because of the stillness of night so that I heard a few words. Of course, I won't tell anyone about it."Qiu Yelan snorted, "My cousin always spoils me. If he is worried about me, why doesn't he visit me himself? He unexpectedly entrusted an outsider?""Your brother is so drunk today that when he asked me to do this, he was still talking
Mrs. Gu said angrily, "You are my future daughter-in-law. Why would I frame you? Do you think I'm okay about my son being despised because of you?""Ridiculous!" Tang also shouted coldly. "You did such a shameless thing. Not only Prince's Mansion of Xihe is in trouble, but cousin Deng Yi loses his face, and now you blame us? Do you have any sense of shame?"Qiu Yelan wouldn't give in. She sneered and said, "Shame? Last time, Gu Yan, Young Prince of Duke of Guangyang, flirted with me openly in the palace. If General Jiang hadn't passed by and help me, I would have killed myself by bumping my head on the pillar in Liuchun Pavilion! How could you take your anger out on me because you can't control your husband?""You!" Tang was outraged. Mrs. Gu was silent for a moment and then screamed, "You are talking nonsense!"Qiu Yelan looked at her with disdain, "You know whether I'm talking nonsense or not! I can swear on my parents' spirits t
Jiang Qizheng chatted with Princess Yang for a long time. But she still didn’t see Qiu Yelan coming out. So, she suspected that Mrs. Gu and Tang who arrived early had done something to Commandery Princess Ningyi. She was about to make Princess Yang tell the truth by virtue of her Princess title. Finally, the sound of footsteps came from outside. And then a maid came in and reported, “Mrs. Gu and Commandery Princess Ningyi are here.”Princess Yang smiled reluctantly and looked at Chunfu Princess. Although they were in the Prince's Mansion of Xihe, Chunfu Princess and Princess Yang were the same level, besides Chunfu Princess was a guest. After Chunfu Princess nodded, Princess Yang then said, “Invite them in!”After a while, Qiu Yelan came in leisurely. Mrs. Gu who dressed up followed her.“Your Grace, do you have something to instruct us coming here today?” after some chitchats, Princess Yang finally asked the real question which everyone was th
It was not long after Qiu Yelan went back to her yard, Jiang Qizheng was coming for Shao Yuemei.As she was here not for her, Qiu Yelan, of course, would leave them alone. She commanded the maids to prepare the snacks and tea for them, said hello to Jiang Qizheng and Madam Shao before she left.Seeing Qiu Yelan leaving the room, Shao Yuemei asked, "Your Highness, are you here for..." She looked at Qiu Yelan's room direction while she was speaking. "So, what's the plan now?" added Shao Yuemei. The Jiang Family sent her over here to spy and investigate Qiu Yelan because she would be the daughter-in-law of the Jiang Family. At this point, Shao Yuemei, of course, was a loyal follower of the family. About the rumblings spreading from the Yunyi Restaurant, the maid brought from the Jiang Family had told her the truth after the maid gossiped with others. So, it did not need Jiang Qizheng to explain more about it."My grandma has a good impression of h
