That night, Qiu Yilan asked Su He to help her get on the soft sedan sent by Princess Yang and went to Mrs. Lu's yard.
Princess Yang wanted to avoid suspicion, so not only did she not send anyone to monitor her, she even sent all her own people away.
Qiu Yilan originally thought that it would take a while before she could see the real owner - even Mrs. Lu didn't want to be angry with her again, so she simply disappeared - but as soon as she entered, she saw Mrs. Lu sitting on the couch calmly and drinking. A bowl of golden bird's nest porridge.
With her rosy complexion and energetic appearance, some people believed that she could live another eighty years.
"What? Are you disappointed to see that I'm not lying on the bed dying?" Mrs. Lu handed the bird's nest porridge that she had just taken two or three mouthfuls to the maid, "It doesn't taste good, go feed the dog!"
"Yes!" The maid looked at the porridge and noodles that were basically untouched with envy, and then took them down carefully.
"Your grandmother used to have this style when she was here." Mrs. Lu said calmly, "One time I took her porridge bowl and secretly took a sip... How should I put it? Over the years, I have been able to drink it every day. I feel That's what happened. But I felt so drunk that I couldn't help myself and drank the whole bowl. I was found out and reported to your grandmother the next day. He was kicked out!"
Qiu Yilan's expression remained unchanged, and she said with a slight smile: "The rule is that a concubine must obey the official wife, not to mention that the Qiu family is still a prince's palace, with an extraordinary family background. You broke the rules, and to be honest, it was you who was kicked out. Deserve it.”
"But now she is dead, and her son and grandson are also dead!" Mrs. Lu looked at her with mocking eyes and a malicious expression, "I am still alive! Living well! If I live for a few more decades, I will be - I have many children and grandchildren! But you, her only biological child, have fallen into my hands and can be treated as I please..."
"But my biological grandmother is a concubine." Qiu Yilan smiled as before, "Even if she is gone, she is still a concubine. And you are Mrs. Lu at most. You see, it will be New Year's Eve soon, and then the prince will come back to pay homage to me. Man, what he kneels and kowtows three times is the tablet of my biological grandmother - if you are gone in the future, he can only worship you secretly, and he doesn’t dare to let outsiders know about it now... "
She looked at Mrs. Lu's face that was slowly becoming livid, and her smile was as bright as a flower, "You... still feel proud?"
"I don't have a royal title, but do you think I can't defeat the Yang family?" It took a long time for Mrs. Lu, who was panting heavily, to slow down and stare at her, "You came here at night and wanted to piss me off for her - from now on Do you think you can live a good life with only one hand in this palace? Will Yang be soft on you? She has been planning to take advantage of the two dowries in your hands for a long time!"
Qiu Yilan smiled lightly and said: "So what? Auntie, she has no life-or-death enmity against me. At least she doesn't kill her life in order to make money..."
"She took away those two dowries and let you live? Keep your life to take revenge on her later?!" Mrs. Lu sneered, "Let me put it bluntly - the scars on Li'er's face have settled. She will... It’s over! You give her two portions of the dowry and then get married..."
Seeing Qiu Yilan looking at her like she was crazy, Mrs. Lu said coldly, "I'll let you go back to the General's Mansion and stay there forever!"
"Are you worthy of becoming a family now?" Qiu Yilan shook her head after hearing this, "Besides, I'm only twelve years old, so it's impossible for me to live in the Ruan family until I leave the court. The marriage you arranged for me, haha... first Stop talking. I went to Ruan's house and you found a reason to force me to come back. Do you think I'm so stupid?"
Mrs. Lu took a breath, calmed down, and shouted: "Then what do you want? Don't think that with a cousin as your backer and the queen's banner, you can do whatever you want! Let me tell you, Ruan Qingyan is young I'm young, I'm not related to you by blood, so maybe I came here because of the two dowries in your hands!
"You know he gave money to the Yang family, how do you know he didn't collude with the Yang family? And Queen Jiang, the queen's words were directed at the queen mother! You are such a little princess, and the queen is such a noble person. , Remember, you are weird! After the news passed, you thought you really couldn't die! Did Yang use your gun to make use of her? You didn't think about how old you were... You You’re just stupid! You’re being sold as a good guy and counting the money!”
Qiu Yilan listened lazily and was about to speak when suddenly a little maid covered in snow ran in from outside, crying and shouting: "Old lady! It's not good! It's not good!" Eldest Young Master... Eldest Young Master, he was just pushed into the lake!"
"Ah?!" Mrs. Lu's old eyes suddenly stared like bells, then her body tilted, she kicked her feet and passed out!
"Old lady! Old lady!!!"
There was a sudden chaos on the left and right - amidst the chaos, Su He asked in panic: "Princess, what is this?"
Everyone in the palace knows that the eldest son Qiu Hongzhi, although he is a commoner and his biological mother has passed away long ago, is the most valued and favored son of King Xihe! Even the only legitimate son, the Seventh Young Master Qiu Yinzhi, was too naughty to compare with him!
"What does it have to do with us?" Qiu Yilan said calmly, "First of all, we did not push him down; secondly, we are not familiar with Qiu Hongzhi! Does it matter whether he fell into the water or not?"
Only then did Su He come back to his senses and said, "Then... shall we go out and take a look?"
"Of course I'm going back!" Qiu Yilan glanced at the ladies who had finally begun to move Mrs. Lu to the couch in the inner room. She curled her lips and said, "Sure enough... Jiang is so old!"
Su He asked curiously: "What's spicy?"
"I'll tell you when I get back. Well, I hope the soft sedan won't hide too far away. You won't want me to walk back like this, right?" Qiu Yilan murmured.
Fortunately, the sedan chair was waiting outside the door. The master and servant returned to their places and asked Mother Zhou to see off the sedan bearers.
As soon as they entered the inner room, Su He couldn't wait to ask: "What did you just say?"
"I thought that if I didn't go over and order the Lu family tonight, Princess Yang would be in charge of the palace from now on!" Qiu Yilan touched her head and said with a smile, "But I didn't know until I heard that Qiu Hongzhi fell into the lake. I underestimated Mrs. Lu too much - no wonder she just pushed out the fierce and rude Aunt Kang, and suppressed Princess Yang for so many years without being able to speak out!"
Su He opened his eyes wide: "Did the old lady arrange for the eldest young master to fall into the lake?"
"Didn't you listen to the people who reported it? Not only did you fall into the lake, but you were pushed down by someone!" Qiu Yilan said with a faint smile, "The eldest son is not the daughter of Princess Yang. Princess Yang herself has a biological son... In the mansion So far, there are only two male heirs, but no heir has been established - do you think the prince can doubt Princess Yang?"
He added, "The point is, the prince is now hiding from Lu. When he left, he left a message asking Princess Yang to take charge of the palace. Lu couldn't find his son to support him, so he had nothing to do with his wife! But Qiu Hongzhi fell into the lake, what do you think? The prince only has two sons, and he likes the eldest son the most. Can he not come back? "
Su He suddenly realized: "Princess, you are so smart, you have seen all the old lady's calculations!"
"It's nothing. If you know what they are planning, you still need to know how to..." After saying this, Zhou's mother suddenly walked in with a strange expression and whispered: "Princess, the fourth lady is here, she is wearing a middle coat. She hasn’t even changed her shoes... She wants to see you, what do you think?"
Su He tilted his head and asked in confusion: "What is she here for?"
Qiu Yilan said clearly: "It seems that the person who 'pushed' Qiu Hongzhi into the lake just now is either me, the fourth sister, or someone closely related to her!" Then he said to Zhou's mother, "Since Here, mom, please invite her in!"
