The couple’s conversation ended with Jian Xubai’s threat. Song Yixiao didn’t think of that they only discussed about how to frame Jian Yiyou but not how to counteract Qiu Shuxia until she took a bath and almost fell asleep in bed.
“Oh crap...” In light of the dim candle light through the bed net, she took a look at the arm around her waist and thought, “I may as well bring it up to him tomorrow morning!”
Thinking of this, she suddenly got surprised, “I just said that I failed to understand what actual damage Qiu Shuxia does to Jian Xubai by creating this case. The cause of the case is that my wet nurse’s husband is put into prison. Qiu Shuxia holds grudge against Jian Xubai, making me feel that Duke of Yan should be the target! However, if it is not the truth...”
Qiu Shuxia held grudge against Jian Xubai but it didn’t mean he would be nice to other people!
In fact, he didn’t care to hurt his nephew for supporting the idea of making
Nie Wuying hastened to explain, “No! No! I have a lot of jewelries. Those earrings are new to me, so I mentioned them thoughtlessly. Actually, they are not very special...”Instantly, she was pinched by her maid again. Obviously, it was okay for her to reject Song Yixiao’s kindness but why did she belittle the gift bought by another sister-in-law in the meanwhile? Although Earl Shouchun’s wife was not at present, this talk was not private and words might be spread to her. After all, Earl Shouchun’s wife didn’t forget to buy something for Nie Wuying out of kindness while shopping for her own daughter. How could Nie Wuying pay back to her kindness with these improper utterances?“I was not asking for gifts. I just heard you talk about ornaments so I brought up the earrings carelessly!” Nie Wuying got the hint of the maid and hurriedly continued to come up with an excuse. Pitifully, she got increasingly anxious and thus found it harder to talk well. In the end
It was in the afternoon now. By tacit rule, one shouldn’t pay a visit to another at the moment unless they were really close or anything urgent happened. Otherwise, it would be a disrespectful act for the latter.Commandery Princess Qingjiang was Jian Xubai’s sister. Yet, Song Yixiao was still new to the family and didn’t get familiar with her. After careful consideration, Song Yixiao didn’t set off immediately but send a visiting card first to ask whether it would be convenient to her that she came by.“Send my word to Ms. Zhao that she doesn’t need to come back in a hurry since Mr. You’s case has been just closed and she has a lot of family issues to deal with. She should take care of her family first.” Song Yixiao instructed, “As to Ms. Zhao’s daughter and grandson, send for a doctor to check on them. If they don’t have enough money, just take it from the accountant and put the expense under my name!”Upon thinking of Ms. Zhao, Song Yixiao i
Jian Xubai remained stern until he went to sleep.After putting down the curtain, he didn’t even touch her finger, let alone cuddling her!Song Yixiao attempted to pull his hand but she was slapped away by him coldly. When she tried again, Jian Xubai didn’t slap her hand anymore. Instead, he just stared at her silently with disdain, as if he wished to distance himself from her.“Well! He still seems to be angry now.” Song Yixiao noticed his lingering anger so she gave up trying. She pulled up the quilt and closed her eyes, “In this case, I may as well sleep first. Maybe he will realize that he is making a fuss willfully and then will stop being angry?”However, Jian Xubai was still waiting for his wife’s consoling him...He stared at the top of the bed net and took a few deep breaths so as to hold back his impulse to push his wife off the bed!Over the night Jian Xubai kept turning over every once a while.
To be honest, Zhuo Ping’an didn’t look like an idiot at all.Like other high-fed childes, he was fair-skinned with regular facial features unlike Commandery Princess Qingjiang. He must take after his father. The disheveled hair on his shoulders was obviously delicately cleaned, which was black and long enough to reach his waist. He was wearing a brocade robe with blue background and the pattern of four kinds of flowers that bloomed in different seasons. His waist was loosely tightened. As a draught blew by, his robe hem swung slightly, showing the emptiness due to his bony appearance. In this way, his morbid state was revealed.“What a pity!” Song Yixiao looked him up and down, and couldn’t help feeling sorry for her sister-in-law, “Given his good look, if his brain were not ruined due to difficult labor, regardless of his talent, he could still occupy a foothold in court by virtue of his mother’s status! Unfortunately, something unexpected may happen any t
Jian Xubai left neatly while Commandery Princess Qingjiang and Song Yixiao were confused. Hence, they asked the eunuch to stay so that they could learn more about the sudden incidence.“It should be official business?” The eunuch racked his brains to recall what the errand-man of Marquis Boling said, “It seems to be related to Ministry of War.”Song Yixiao was relieved to hear that. Because of Zhiqin, she had no relish for Yuan Xuepei, but she still didn’t want to see anything untoward happen to him. After all, without him, Yuan Xue’e would have nobody to rely on.Now that the Yuan Family was okay, she shifted her focus onto bonding with Commandery Princess Qingjiang.However, after a while, another servant came to report, saying that Zhuo Ping’an was crying in the yard and that no one could stop him. Commandery Princess Qingjiang replied, “Never mind.” Yet, she was sitting on pins and needles. Song Yixiao realized that she couldn’
Song Yixiao felt headache to hear the suggestion, “Jian Xubai has no problem with that? Absolutely not!”He just told her to stay away from Su Shaoge the other day. He even ordered to give the malus spectabilis hairpin that Su Shaoge compensated her to a maid. If he learnt that she had a meal with Su Shaoge, how could he have no problem with it?However, the Su sisters didn’t know her difficulty. Both of them believed that it was a good solution.At the moment, Su Shaoling nodded her head, “If Madam Song can do me the favor to agree, we can ask our brother to pay for the meal!”“The best way to show respect is to obey!” Song Yixiao had owed Su Shaoge one before. Now that Su Shaoge’s legitimate sister even talked of “do me the favor”, she was too embarrassed to decline. Hence, she could only make up her mind and say with a smile, “But please allow me to pay for the meal. I haven’t thanked Mr. Su for his favor regarding Yiluo’s matte
Song Yixiao didn’t realize that the faked loving gestures between her and Jian Xubai had been revealed. After returning to Duke of Yan’s mansion, she learnt that Jian Xubai had come back. So, she handed over the newly purchased jewelries to Jinxun, “The necklaces and chrysanthemum hairpins are the gifts I am about to send out; as to the plum-blossom pearl hair ornaments, I will wear them myself. For the rest, you can share them.”Then she had some desserts prepared and brought them to the study to ask for information.“How can you come to apologize with a few plates of desserts that are even not made by you?” Jian Xubai was writing. Upon hearing the knock on the door, he said, “Come in.” Then he saw the tray on his wife’s hand, raising his eyebrows and sneering, “Do I look so easy to handle?”Song Yixiao put down the desserts and said casually, “I only had a meal that I couldn’t decline. It’s no big deal. Why do I have to apologize for that?”
This marriage was totally out of Song Yixiao’s expectation. She repeated subconsciously as she asked, “What did you just say?”“Miss Wei Chan will marry Third Young Master Lu.” Liyu reminded her as she continued, “Did you forget what had happened when we had been living in Hanxia Villa? Her Ladyship had been there for a short period.”It was not until Song Yixiao heard Liyu’s words that she made sure she had not misheard anything. However, she was not happy at all. Instead, feeling dubious, she contemplated for a while as she said, “Call Qiaoqin over here. I have some questions for her!”Qiaoqin was sent by her to help Ms. Zhao some days ago. After the case of Youhong was closed, she helped Ms. Zhao for two days. Only yesterday afternoon did she return to the mansion, so Song Yixiao gave her a two-day break.Qiaoqin was taking a nap in her room at that moment. After she was informed about Song Yixiao’s order, she got changed in a h
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
