... After entrusting He Shuijin, Qiu Yilan still couldn't feel relieved. She returned to her yard and sent someone to inquire about the progress of the matter.
Chunran made this trip and came back and told her: "The old lady is tired, so I'll take a look at everyone first, and let the eighth young lady and the eighth young master go back first... I'll call the Tao family over tomorrow and then continue the process."
"Is my grandfather interested in this matter?" Qiu Yilan asked.
"I haven't heard of it. I think it's because the matter is still unclear, so the old man doesn't want to say anything, right?" Chun Ran guessed.
While Qiu Yilan was thinking, her waist suddenly tightened, and she was caught off guard and pulled into a hug! Following Chunran in front of him, he hurriedly got down and said, "Master is back?"
"I'll be back soon. Chunran is still here, you!" Qiu Yilan complained and pinched Jiang Yashuang's arm. She watched Chunran retreat quickly before turning around and saying, "Why did you come back so early today?" ?”
"Didn't my grandfather tell me to come back early and teach you the rules of the house?" Jiang Yashuang kissed her neck, then walked around to sit next to her, put his arms around her waist and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? That look on your face. dignified?"
Qiu Yilan looked at his smiling face and was a little surprised: "You still don't know? Jing Hu is gone!"
Sure enough, Jiang Yashuang's smile suddenly condensed: "What's going on?!"
"I was playing with his Ninth Sister on the rockery and fell into the water together. It is said that he was close to the shore at that time. However, Luan arrived first and forced his servants to rescue his Ninth Sister and then rescued him. Then he was gone." Qiu Yilan I didn't remember Miss Jiu Sun's name - when she said this, she saw Jiang Yashuangteng stood up and hurriedly walked out, catching up with her, "Wait a minute! The matter is not over here. Now Jing Hu's biological mother Mrs. Feng, the eighth sister-in-law, and the former maid Green Aunt, a group of people killed the eighth sister-in-law and harmed Jing Hu. They are in a mess. They said they will call the Tao family to come to the house tomorrow to continue the discussion! "
Jiang Yashuang stopped immediately, turned around and asked, "Where was the eighth sister-in-law when Jinghu fell into the water?"
"I was ordered by my grandmother to take care of you at Sixteenth Sister-in-Law." As soon as Qiu Yilan finished speaking, Jiang Yashuang sneered: "I knew it!"
After pondering for a while, "You seemed to have complained before that Jing Heng and Jing Hu were disrespectful to the eighth sister-in-law?"
"Did Caiqi and the others tell you?" Qiu Yilan frowned and then said, "Yes, I went to visit the eighth sister-in-law that day, and the two of them came in with their biological mother to ask for something, but they fell in love with the bracelet on the eighth sister-in-law's wrist, and they didn't say hello. As soon as I hit him, I went to grab it, and my sister-in-law's wrists were all red!"
After finishing his words, he said thoughtfully, "Have you been plotting against the eighth sister-in-law since then?"
"They have never done this in front of others before!" Jiang Yashuang said with a livid face, "I have long advised the eighth sister-in-law to follow the rules when they should be given, otherwise some people will become more arrogant! She... Sigh! Come with me, I'll go talk to Brother Eight!"
Qiu Yilan pursed her lips: "Then you have to talk to Eighth Brother carefully! The way he looks at Eighth Sister-in-law today is not very good!"
"Jing Hu is gone. It's no wonder that he is in a bad mood. He may not really doubt Ba Sister-in-law." Jiang Yashuang took her hand and walked out. "Although Ba Brother is a pervert, he is not so confused!"
Jiang Yadan is unsatisfactory, but it’s not because he has a low IQ! Little Tao has no favors and no children, so what's the use of her harming Jiang Jinghu? If she was angry, she was the legitimate daughter of the Tao family after all. She was not even prepared to escape when she committed such a vicious attack, and it was revealed in the blink of an eye - the Tao family raised a eldest lady, not a stupid eldest sister!
However, Jiang Yashuang also knew that Jiang Yadan had no affection for little Tao. Even if he knew that his wife was probably wronged, if there was irrefutable proof... he wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to find a young and beautiful wife.
So he had to go over quickly to dissuade this brother-in-law who had no moral integrity.
But just as the couple went out, they were met by the maid in front of Mrs. Tao: "Mrs. Nineteenth, please come over, Mrs. Tao!"
"You should be asking about the result of my entering the palace today." Qiu Yilan reacted immediately and said to Jiang Yashuang, "You can go find Ba Ge by yourself. I will go back to my grandmother."
"Okay." Jiang Yashuang nodded, and the two of them left separately.
When she arrived in front of Mrs. Tao, she looked very gloomy. As expected, she immediately asked, "What did the palace say?"
"Fourth aunt agreed." Qiu Yilan said respectfully, "Fourth aunt gave my daughter-in-law a meeting gift, and also asked her to bring back something for Sixteenth Sister-in-law." It was unexpected. She thought that the Duke's Mansion would be the most troublesome today. What people should pay attention to is the cart of rewards that they brought back. They were mentally prepared to fight with their sisters-in-law. As a result, when Jiang Jinghu died, no one cared about being polite... Now they are basically staring at this matter. Got it!
Even Sheng Shishui's share of the Queen's gift, I guess Sheng Shishui is not in the mood to take a closer look at this moment - her natal family is not visible, her life experience is embarrassing, her husband is a concubine who is hated by her aunt... that is, she is a good old sister-in-law like Xiao Tao, so Life has been going pretty well since I moved in.
If this were a different situation, even if she had given birth to a son at that time, given Jiang Yazhu's status in the Jiang family, Jiang Yadan's successor would have to deal with her the same way!
All in all, among the sisters-in-law, it is estimated that little Dou and the others do not want little Tao to be replaced!
Unless it was replaced by their sisters... But with Mrs. Tao and Queen Jiang here, the possibility of Jiang Yadan marrying daughters from families like Dou and Miao is basically non-existent - they can't be Jiang Yadan's master, and there are many ways to undermine him. Got it!
"It is estimated that the only people from outside who want to replace Eighth Sister-in-law now are people from outside. What's funny is that the most likely people from outside are actually Eighth Sister-in-law's family members..." Qiu Yilan thought of this and saw Mrs. Tao nodding as she said. : "Anything else to say?"
He quickly calmed down and said, "No. Because at that time Princess Changping went to the palace to report that Princess Yan was pregnant... After the princess left, the granddaughter-in-law also resigned."
"Princess Yan is pregnant?" Mrs. Tao's already gloomy face turned even darker when she heard the news. Of course she knew the great loss the queen suffered back then. Now that she heard that Queen Mother Gu was expecting a great-grandson, she felt even more for her daughter. She was aggrieved - but with her status, it was not easy for her to scold Tang Xinyao, a junior, for this, so she had to take it out on one of her own, "Qiyun is so useless! She married earlier than Tang, but there is no news yet!"
Qiu Yilan heard that her tone didn't sound like she knew Jiang Qiyun had humiliated King Qi. She thought about it but didn't say anything. She only comforted: "After all, King Yan will only be a king in this life, why should grandma care?"
"Yes." Mrs. Tao narrowed her eyes, "I'm afraid Queen Mother Gu is very regretful now, right? She is a good daughter taught by her mother-in-law!" If it weren't for Gu Graceful's mistake, King Yan himself would be better than King Qi, and now Princess Yan She was also the first to get pregnant—then the one who has the upper hand in the battle for the crown prince must be the Queen Mother’s party!
How is it like now, when King Zhou saw the seventh prince, he wanted to take a detour, or did he fall into the trap without paying attention, using his own mediocrity and clumsiness to set off his younger brother's intelligence and studiousness
Mrs. Tao imagined how remorseful, angry and resentful Queen Mother Gu would be when she heard the news, and felt that she felt better. She tilted her head and asked, "Okay, since there is nothing else in the palace, let's talk about family matters!" "
Qiu Yilan said respectfully: "Grandma, please speak!"
"Your eighth sister-in-law has been wronged." Mrs. Tao sighed, "She has a temperament that is willing to harm others - let me tell you frankly: your eighth sister-in-law has a temperament that sleeps outside for three days without being home. "My dear, with me taking care of her at home, it's no wonder that your eight brothers are as prosperous as they are today!"
"What grandma said is that if the eighth sister-in-law hadn't come to protect her in the past two days, it would have been the grandson-in-law who was beaten!" Qiu Yilan said hurriedly, "The eighth sister-in-law has suffered so much grievance for her, but she has no resentment towards her. , This shows how generous the eighth sister-in-law is! It’s only been a few days since grandson’s daughter-in-law came here? What’s more, the eighth sister-in-law has watched her grow up?”
Her nature is originally "the so-called good people are those who are good to me, the so-called bad people are those who are not good to me, and the remaining ones are called strangers."
Little Mrs. Tao was willing to protect her in the first place, so no matter whether this sister-in-law had harmed other people, she was a good person in her eyes.
And because of the arrogance of Jiang Yadan's concubines and concubine children, Qiu Yilan felt that even if the young Tao masters poisoned them, it was these people who brought it on themselves - you are allowed to step on the wife's face with your favor, but the wife is not allowed to fight back.
Now these words are spoken from the heart.
When Mrs. Tao heard this, she was both pleased and sad: "It's a pity that there are too many people who want to harm her this time... I don't even know if there is a way to get her out!"
"Grandma, who was behind the murder of Eighth Sister-in-law?" Of course, Qiu Yilan couldn't directly ask the old lady if your mother's family did it, so she had to take a roundabout way and ask, "Eighth Sister-in-law is such a nice person, I really can't think of anyone who would do it to her." Did she do it cruelly?"
Mrs. Tao's face was distorted for a while, and she said after a while: "There are always some people who are greedy!"
Is it really the Tao family
Otherwise, judging from Mrs. Tao's deliberate show of closeness in the past two days, she didn't even hide her dislike for the big house. If she hadn't really been able to tell her... why wouldn't she have told herself
Qiu Yilan was thinking about how to answer this, but before she could speak, Mrs. Tao already said: "Anyway, I am not in the mood to elaborate on this matter now... Let's wait until the Tao family comes tomorrow to see the result."
He asked, "Has Nineteen returned? Let him persuade you Eighth Brother and explain to your Eighth Sister-in-law, don't let him be deceived!"
"When grandson-in-law came over just now, Nineteen had already gone to find Brother Bazhao." Qiu Yilan said hurriedly.
Mrs. Tao sighed: "I hope he can wake you up!"
"Wake up?" After a while, Qiu Yilan returned to her yard and saw that Jiang Yashuang had come back and was sitting in the room sulking with a pale face. She was slightly surprised. When she was about to step forward to ask, Jiang Yashuang asked first. After seeing Mrs. Tao's story and hearing it, she sneered, "Bago, he still needs someone to wake him up? He knows exactly what happened!"
Qiu Yilan said in surprise: "Then what does he plan to do?"
"... He has been dating the young daughter of the An family for several years. The girl is now in her early twenties and is still unmarried. She doesn't want to hear the rumors and has been living in a village outside the city. She claims to be recuperating from illness." Jiang Yashuang sneered again and again, "He is a bit I want to take this opportunity to pick someone up!"
"Then what happened this time was done by the young daughter of the An family?" Qiu Yilan was surprised and surprised.
Jiang Yashuang shook her head: "How can the An family reach out to our house? But with Brother Ba's current attitude, Sister-in-law Ba's situation is really not good."
He frowned tightly and exhaled, "Go find Sister-in-law Fourteen tomorrow, she is the most experienced in this kind of thing - well, I just don't have time now, otherwise I would have to investigate this matter personally! "
"I have already gone to find her." Qiu Yilan pursed her lips and asked doubtfully, "Are you not free now? Didn't you come back early today?"
"I'm joking with you!" Obviously, the death of his nephew and the accusation of his sister-in-law made Jiang Yashuang no longer in the mood for teasing, and said calmly, "I came back early to draw up a protocol for the princess's descent ceremony for the seventh prince!"
Qiu Yilan said in surprise: "Fourth aunt moved so fast? But the ceremony of descending... isn't this what the Rites Department should do?"
"The seventh prince asked the fourth aunt to let me help him." Jiang Yashuang said - this prince is really not stupid, he was the first to speak. He is the most beloved nephew of the queen, which not only shows that he is close to the Jiang family, attitude, and with the help of Jiang Yashuang's position in the Jiang family, if anything goes wrong, Jiang Yashuang will be there to share the pressure in front of the queen for him.
"Anyway, I will be busy next time, so you have to worry more about family matters." Jiang Yashuang sighed, "It's not just the Eighth Sister-in-law - the Sixteenth Brother's backyard is also in a mess, and the Sixteenth Sister-in-law has a new If you are pregnant, you should pay more attention to her and don’t let her get fooled by those messy people!”
He really came true to his prophecy - early the next morning, Qiu Yilan saw him off and got the news: "There seems to be something wrong with the rose cake that Young Madam Sixteenth ate this morning. I will go to see the doctor now - I I asked you to go and take a closer look!”
