Wei Chan sobbed as she said, “If only I knew what I had done to irritate him. He sent somebody over here a few nights ago, directly informing me that I was not qualified to be a daughter-in-law of the Lu Family. If I was sensible and considerate, I should ask my elders to stand out and find an excuse to break off the marital engagement between us. Otherwise, he would strike out by himself, which probably would embarrass the whole Wei Family!”
As Song Yixiao heard her words, she was astounded and said, “How come did that happen? How come did he request to break off a public marital engagement without any valid reasons? You’d better think about it discreetly!”
Wei Chan, who was genuinely anxious, replied, “Based on how the current situation goes, if I insisted on playing dumb, I would certainly bring destruction upon myself.” After that, she simply stood up and left her seat. “Bang!” Kneeling down in front of Song Yixiao directly, she clutched at her knees an
Jian Xubai was so angry that he burst into laughter instead as he said, “Divorce letter?”Turning around all of a sudden, he pushed Song Yixiao, who had just stood up, staggeringly back to the couch. He bent over and stroked her cheek with one hand as he supported himself beside her with the other hand.His finger pulps, which were thinly horned, lingered on Song Yixiao’s smooth and tender skin for a while and stopped themselves at the corner of her eyes in the end. It was not until Jian Xubai stirred her curly eyelashes with his finger pulps that he said smilingly, “You seemed not to take what I had said to your heart, right? How come you dared to ask for a divorce letter from me?”As Song Yixiao thought of his words of “sudden death” last time, the look on her face changed dramatically. She stared at him indifferently and didn’t say anything at all.“You aren’t convinced by me, right?” Jian Xubai lowered his head and pressed his
In the backyard, Song Yixiao wore a homely red short jacket and white skirt, with a light yellow shawl half-drooping. She leaned lazily on the head of the bed. Her hair was loosely tied up in a side bun and the jade hairpin bought from the store near Taoli Restaurant was oblique in the bun.The hairpin head made of silver wires reflected bright light in a sunset cast through the west window, which was so shining that Jinxun couldn’t open her eyes wide. Therefore, she had to lower her head more and said, “Ji Su cannot stop His Highness. Madam, don’t you really go to persuade him?”“He’s angry now.” Song Yixiao snorted and said, “Ji Su has been serving him from his childhood. If he can’t persuade him well, what’s the use of my going there? I have just married into this family for a few days. He will vent his anger to me for no reason, so why should I bother?”“Ji Su is just a servant. How can he compare with you?” Jinxun knew that she was making
Song Yixiao knew that her father-in-law and her husband didn’t get along well, and the decision not to give the manpower to Jian Yiyou was made by Jian Xubai himself. But being the daughter-in-law was different from being the son. There would always be room for mediation no matter how troublesome it was as long as the blood and family existed. The daughter-in-law didn’t have such good treatment. If she was entitled as unfilial, it would be taken for granted for her to be forced to divorce and go back her parents’ home.Therefore, she didn’t dare to neglect the requirement. “Father, after having promised mother, I went home and invited the managers to discuss, but the list given by Chief House Steward was large, and I just married into this family. I thought that this had already been at the end of the year. If all the people were transferred, in case there was something wrong...”Who knew that she hadn’t finished speaking, Jian Likuang interrupted her with
Song Yixiao led her maids, including Qiaoqin, to the drawing-room. It was not until she confirmed nothing was wrong with the sealing tapes that she let them open the boxes.Among the three boxes, two ones were filled with title deeds and antique treasures respectively. While dazzling collections of ornaments made of pearl and jade filled up the remaining one.The ancestors of the Pei Family came from an aristocratic and distinguished clan, which was well-known in the historical record for its glory and prevalence throughout several dynasties in a row. It was not until the imperial examination started to gain popularity in the previous dynasty that the Pei Family started to be on the decline gradually. Even so, as a legitimately collateral branch, the Pei Family, having no notorious wastrels, still got a profound foundation.Of course, such three boxes certainly couldn’t accommodate all the accumulations the Pei Family had got all over these yea
Jian Xubai had no idea about how his behavior made his wife more likely to fall away from him. After he took a shower and accompanied Song Yixiao to enjoy the dinner, having several official documents brought from Yamen in his mind, he explained to her roughly and went to the study room.“Your Highness!” Hardly had he come to the front of the study room with Ji Su when an imperial bodyguard, who had been lingering in the hallway, came over and bowed to them. He said, “Third Young Master Lu got back to us today.”Although Jian Xubai had been greatly jealous of Lu Guanlun last time, he had sent someone to carry out what he had promised his wife the next day. Even though Lu Guanlun was kind of his cousin, they didn’t hang out together on the usual days because of their different political standing. That was the reason why Lu Guanlun hadn’t got back to him until today.Jian Xubai saw Ji Su opening the door of the study room and said, “Let’s talk in
After Song Yixiao finished breakfast that day, she intended to send Qiaoqin out to inform the Wei Family as she said, “You relay what Lu Guanlun said to Cousin Chan clearly. Tell her that I can’t do anything to help her out. If her family members are also at a loss as for what to do, she will have no choice but to do as Lu Guanlun said, finding a random excuse to break off the marital engagement!”Fearing Wei Chan would take her words to her heart, she added, “Fortunately, she is not of the hairpin age yet, who can afford to wait for another two or three years before officially getting married. As always, gossips prevail in this capital city constantly. However awkward she feels right now, nobody will remember what happened to her two or three years later. Even if someone does, she won’t be affected at all since the time will be different then. After she overcomes the difficulty this time, she may find someone that respects her much in the future. Anyway, please let her
Song Yixiao resolved her husband’s spite with the badger game and wanted to take the opportunity to bring up the personnel issue in the mansion. Unexpectedly, while she was still pondering over the wording, here came a knock at the door. Jinxun reported nervously, “Your Highness, Madam, Miss Wei Chan is kneeing outside the back door with her maid, begging Madam to take them in!”“Chan?” Song Yixiao was stunned and immediately tried to get out of Jian Xubai’s arms. However, he tightened his arms to prevent her from leaving, shouting impatiently via the door, “The mansion is so big. Why don’t you let her settle in a room? How come you must report everything? Do you have brains?”Jinxun didn’t dare to rebuke.Although Wei Chan was Song Yixiao’s cousin, since she was in trouble and rushed here to ask for help, without the permission of the master or mistress, how dare the servants to let her in randomly? Not to mention settling her down in the mans
Jian Xubai dealt with his work hurriedly and then returned to the backyard.As he found that Song Yixiao hadn’t come back, he went to take a shower first.After taking a shower, he returned to the bedroom and still didn’t see his wife. He couldn’t help feeling disappointed.However, he was aware of Wei Chan’s trouble. Since she was weeping and wailing, it was indeed not easy for Song Yixiao to comfort her. Hence, he leaned against the bed and started to read a book, intending to give his wife a reminder when she came back. Pathetic as Wei Chan was, in light of what Lu Guanlun said, she asked for it herself. How could a virtuous wife leave her husband alone in the bedroom for comforting her cousin?Unexpectedly, as he read most of the book and it was late at night, Song Yixiao was still not back!“Does she just stay in Jiangxing Villa for the night because of her cousin?” Thinking of this, Jian Xubai was in a fret. He t
At this moment, the Grand Princess of Jin's residence.Jia Yao gently picked up the silver pot on the table and poured warm rose dew into the giltsilver begonia marigold, the sound of the flower dew entering the marigold seemed particularly silent against the backdrop of the whirling winter rain outside the window.The north wind rolled through the court, lifting up a snowy mist, and the obviously warm springlike interior was flooded with a chill for no apparent reason.She suddenly heard the sound of a rustling of the Chinese tent, and busily set aside the silver pot that had only been halfpoured, turning to check just in time to see the palefaced Grand Princess of Jin rising tremblingly to her feet."Is Your Highness thirsty?" Jia Yao took three steps to the edge of the couch and held the master, on one side taking a hidden bag from the side and padding it behind the Grand Princess so that she could lean more comfortably, and on the other side she said wit
With this sudden question, even though Jian Xu Bai has always been deeply favored by the Empress Dowager, he could not help but feel creeped out!He was stunned for a moment before he got up and left the couch, kneeling down in front of the Empress Dowager, and said in a deep voice ''Why did Imperial Grandmother make such a remark? I don't dare to say that I don't have any selfishness, but I have never thought of usurping the throne! The reason why I will support His Highness King Su to ascend to the throne, apart from worrying about Second Auntie, is also because His Highness King Su has the qualifications of a wise ruler, and can succeed the late Emperor's divine warrior!"Taking a deep breath, he knocked heavily on the ground, "I never thought of betraying Lu!""Good boy, mourning home but just so ask, why do you have to be so solemn?" The dowager empress looked at him with complicated eyes, bent down to help each other, sighed, "Mourning family naturally believ
In fact, the large empire, to say that no one can really stop that so far still silent Yu Qinghan may not be the problem is, whether the empire can hold, related to the entire Qingzhou Su's future!Therefore, the first and foremost thing that the candidate for guarding the city should do is to make the Su family trust him, otherwise, even if he is talented, the Su family will not be able to give him this important task!And because of the Marquis of Yan's support for King Su, even though there is now a disconnect between the Su family and the Su family, they are unanimous on the big issue of supporting King Su to ascend to the throne so Su Shaoge immediately considered Lv Qinghong of the Marquis of Yan after having no one at hand himself.As for the other generalship talents in the city, Su Shaoge could listen to their advice, but would definitely not give the forbidden army directly to their command!Now Su Bofeng said, if Lu Qinghong can't hold up Yu Qing
Uncle Lu is Lu Qinghong, the divine archer on the Wuhuan battlefield back in the day, Jian Xubai's right hand man although he is old, but also because of his age, even if Lu Qinghong has never been a commander before, in this kind of battle of defending the city, his rich experience in the sand field is the newcomer group of forbidden army is currently in urgent need of.After all, even Yang Jue himself, aside from yesterday's battle to seize the palace, had never experienced a real war.... In fact, last night s seizure of the palace could not be considered a war at all, but rather a sneak attack of a heavier nature.After understanding Su Shaoge's intention, Jianxu Bai pondered for a while and said, "Uncle Lu can lend it to you, however, he can't go with you right away, I have to give him a few words of advice!"Su Shaoge breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I should!""Uncle Lv, in your opinion, is Su Zhiyong really not confident in relying on Yang
Originally, according to Su Shaoge's intention, with Song Yixiao to take away the Jiangnan Hall secret guards "with the wind" after the token, directly erase Song Yixiao in two times to get together the token through the "with the wind" of the master, nailed Gu Shao.So send the Su family early infiltration into the "with the wind" people in fact, not necessarily "with the wind" in the people, anyway, the secret guards in addition to the internal no one knows, "Dai Feng" things to kill people are the same. "Dai Feng" to do things to kill people, recorded in the "with the wind" account is the same.Anyway, when Yang Jue led his troops into the palace, the heads that were thrown in front of He Wenqiong were all killed by "Gu Shao's secret guards from the Song family".In addition to dragging Gu Shao into the water, forcing him to help stabilize the situation and people's hearts afterwards, this is also to create the false impression that "you see, Minister Gu actual
This sudden palace change lasted until the faintest light of day, when the sound of swords and guns shouting and killing gradually subsided.But the panic in the imperial capital, from the royal family and officials down to the peddlers, could not end yet the day had already dawned, but the gates of the imperial capital's workshops still had no intention of opening."There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad." Su Shaoge reappeared in the flower hall of Marquis Yan's mansion, his face unable to tell if he was happy or angry, "The good news is that last night's takeover of the palace went very smoothly, inside and outside of the imperial city, no, it should be within the imperial capital, it's all already within our grasp!"But the bad news is very bad, "The forbidden troops sent to Wei's house missed their mark, allowing Wei Xi to escape up the city wall and let down at night!"If it was just one Wei Xi, Su Shaoge wouldn't be worried, the problem is,
After a moment of silence in the hall, Bell said in a hard tone, "Then why did Grandma hand over the 'Follow the Wind' token to Second Duke Su just now? In case he took it ...""Have you noticed?" Song Yixiao's gaze was icy cold as he said, "I only gave him the token, and he didn't ask for anything else I remember when I only had half of the token in my hand, I had asked him for advice on the matter of the Six Valves' secret guards, and he said that the token could first and foremost only be used by the head of the family, and only by the head of the family who had reached the age of the bundle of hair! Of course I am the only one left in the Jiangnan Hall's direct line now, so of course this rule is not so strict. But, he's neither under me nor is he anyone of mine, and he can actually mobilize 'Follow the Wind' with just the token! What do you think that means?!"Bell was slightly lost in thought and said ''So there are Su family members in the 'Follow the Wind'? But
Su Shaoge mildly said, "Of course it's useful when your father gifted the dark guards to Gu Shao, although it wasn't announced to the public, my Su family heard about it."He paused here, giving Song Yixiao a moment to think, before continuing, "So if there is a 'Follow the Wind' out there right now, it's always easier to do the aftermath, I don't know what Grandma thinks?"Song Yixiao stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist and mused.She understands the meaning of Su Shaoge's words, the socalled "I have heard of the Su family", meaning that they have the evidence of Song Yuan to Gu Shao's gift of secret guards, then this interception of He Wenqiong, as long as the "with the wind" is involved, regardless of whether the order comes from the Song Yixiao or Gu Shao, will be credited to Gu Shao's head in the end! The final result will be put on Gu Shao's head!So if you hold Gu Shao's handle, you can coerce Gu Shao to help the aftermath then the aftermath will
He Wenqiong is very disappointed to look at the screen outside the granddaughter's silhouette, although He Xiuyi did not enter the palace before, with his grandfather in fact not see a lot, but in the end is the eldest granddaughter, He Wenqiong occasionally listen to his son and daughterinlaw mentioned to He Xiuyi's character is still an understanding of the granddaughter of the broken not have the guts to join the conspiracy to kill the eldest Princess of Changxing things.The problem was that when the palace maid accused He Xiuyi of being displeased with Empress Su, in full view of everyone, instead of immediately retorting, He Xiuyi exuded a clear sense of trepidation!Now who doesn't know that she did express her displeasure with Empress Su?"This child is still too young and has experienced too little!" He Wenqiong sighed inwardly and decided to divert the blame he asked to reexamine the scented sachets made by Ms. Jiang, and questioned whether the scented s
