"Whip! Whip her to death!" With hair disheveled and eyes red, Qiu Yuqing hysterically urged the old maidservants who were punishing Qiu Yelan, "Whip her till her flesh was torn to shreds and see if she still dares to not admit how she murdered my poor Jinzhang!"Four or five old maidservants who were strong and merciless waved the whip as she ordered. "Crack!" "Crack!" With a few sounds of whipping, Qiu Yelan hanging from the beam of the room made a weak cry. She dropped her head. It seemed that she would like to struggle, but she did not have strength."I thought that since this body has been engaged to the nephew of Duke of Guangyang, Qiu Family would not be too ruthless." Feeling the burning pain of whipping more and more numbness, Qiu Yelan, who was at the gate of death, sighed in her heart, "If I had knew earlier that this Aunt Qiu is so lawless, I should have escaped according to the order of the body's mother, Princess Ruan. I should not have been ba

Xiuyan was Princess Yang's confidential chief maid, who was bought by Princess herself several years ago. She strode in, saw the mess in the room and frowned gently, asking, "What happened? Commandery Princess is out of condition now. Who was so clumsy to break things up?"Then she curtsied to Qiu Yelan, "Princess Yang sent me to visit you. But she was afraid that if I came here early, someone ill-intentioned might see this and bother you with it. That's why I come so late...How are you feeling now?""Thank you, Xiuyan!" Qiu Yelan sneered to herself, "They knew that I was almost beaten to death but still come here again and again. Who would visit a patient like this? They obviously want to make things worse!"But she had to keep expressing her gratitude, "Thanks to First Aunt today, or I would probably be dead like my mother now!""Please don't say so!" Xiuyan hurried to say, "You are Commandery Princess. Lady Yuqing was driven by

No matter how Qiu Yelan refused and persuaded, Mrs. Zhou was determined to protect her to the end.Mrs. Zhou even wanted to walk into the brocade curtain and lift up the bed-curtain to sit by the bed and show her loyalty to Qiu Yelan. Qiu Yelan was so scared that she allowed without the hint of the boy next to her.And then, Mrs. Zhou blocked them while Su He took the beddings here. The grandmother together with her granddaughter made a shakedown in front of the south window and the door separately.What made the two on the bed more in despair was that Mrs. Zhou still couldn't rest assured when she slept there. Mrs. Zhou whispered to Su He, "Since we have served Commandery Princess the whole day, now we should not sleep too deeply that cannot notice if someone comes in!"Then, no matter how Qiu Yelan persuaded, Mrs. Zhou was so clever that she took a belt to connect the door and window to her body. It ensured that if something happ

"You want to see me?" Qiu Jinzhu, Commandery Princess Ningtai, walked in proudly with her head up, followed by her servants who also held their heads high.She was a younger cousin of Qiu Yelan and ranked sixth.In Prince's Mansion of Xihe, there were seven of Qiu Jinzhu's generation, including both boys and girls. Except for the eldest young master, Qiu Hongzhi who was the son of a concubine, the late former heir Qiu Jinglan who ranked third, and Qiu Yinzhi, son of the official wife, who ranked seventh, others of the seven were all girls.Among the four girls, only Commandery Princess Ningxin, Qiu Baozhu, got married. Other girls all lived in Prince's Mansion, but none of them was familiar to Qiu Yelan.She said frankly, "It's me who found that Persian cat. I thought it would be returned in your name. How come it turned to be Cousin Lizhang?""How dare you say it?" Qiu Jinzhu was so angry about it that she didn't have

That night, Su He held Qiu Yelan on to the sedan chair sent by Princess Yang and went to the yard of Madame Lu.Princess Yang didn't set anyone to keep a watch on and even sent her people away to avoid any suspicion.Qiu Yelan thought that it would take a while for her to meet Madame Lu. Madame Lu might not want to suffer again and refuse to meet her. To her surprise, Madame Lu was sitting on the couch and drinking a bowl of spun gold bird nest porridge, looking calm.People could still believe that she would live for eighty more years with her rosy cheeks and the youthful look."What? You are disappointed to see that I'm not lying on my couch and dying?" Madame Lu handed the bird's nest porridge, which she had only two or three tastes, to the maid and said, "It tastes bad. You can use it to feed the dog!""Yes, Madame!" The maid looked at the almost untouched porridge enviously and took it away carefully.
