Jiang Yashuang came back late that day, so he accompanied the Seventh Prince to visit King Qi. Empress Jiang had not returned to the palace at that time, so she naturally would not miss this opportunity to remind her nephew earnestly not to spoil his wife.
On one side was his aunt who loved him as her own son, and on the other was his wife who was his beloved. Even though Jiang Yashuang had been an expert at coaxing elders since she was a child, it took a lot of effort to coax the queen.
As a result, he returned to his yard with a tired look, only to be surprised to hear that Qiu Yilan fell ill before evening!
… Let’s not mention how Jiang Yashuang frantically called for doctors and boiled medicine until late at night before finally settling down. As for Mrs. Tao, not long before Jiang Yashuang came back, she also got the news that Qiu Yilan was asking for a doctor in the yard. Even though the old Mrs. Tao always showed kindness to others, the muscles on her face couldn't help but twitch for a while when she heard the news!
Mother Hu even scolded angrily: "Why didn't you mention it when you were taking advantage of our family's power before you came to the door!? Now that she is a member of the Jiang family, if there is something going on at home, it would be unfilial for her not to come out and share the worries of her elders. The old lady is so special I took out the things I packed in the box to appease her—what else can I do if she gets all the benefits and the whole family has to worry about it?”
They couldn't blame them for overthinking, thinking that Qiu Yilan would still be resentful and complain about illness after returning. After all, the timing of Qiu Baozhu's visit was too good, and Qiu Yilan hadn't come over to talk about this matter yet. The Jiang family, who had long been accustomed to sending away poor relatives, would never have thought that Qiu Baozhu came not to gain glory, but to say something extraordinary. What about the big secret
In particular, news came from Qiu Yilan that the crystal plate allotted to the legitimate grandchildren had also been broken by the maid: "That thing is our home, and it can only be found in the rooms of the legitimate descendants, and the young masters and young ladies of the concubines." No matter how desperate I am, I can only take a look in the maid's room! How dare you be so careless! Why did you break it before? It must have been done by the maid. ! It’s really ridiculous! You’re already a member of your husband’s family, and you still care about something! I’ve never heard of such a bad-tempered daughter-in-law! If she were still there, she should be ashamed of herself!"
Mrs. Tao's face was gloomy for a long time, and she said to Hu's mother: "Since you are sick, you can't just ignore it. Send someone to bring some medicinal materials and ask the doctor how long it will take to get better!"
Asking Mother Hu to send people instead of asking Mother Hu to go is already expressing dissatisfaction.
Mother Hu was especially angry: "She was lying down even though she was in good health. How could the doctor not guess that she was threatening her illness? She must not have dared to reveal it. When she was in a hurry, she just dropped it into a pile of book bags and ended up making a vague statement. !”
"What can I do? After all, she is the grandson-in-law, so she always has to take care of the situation." Mrs. Tao said happily, "Besides, she has only been here for a long time, and she has not let go of all her anger as a girl... It is not surprising for children to lose their temper. !”
"Who in Beijing doesn't know about the affairs of Prince Xihe's Mansion?" Hu's mother sneered, "Has she ever lived the life of the apple of her eye in her parents' house? Even Qiu Jinglan has been pampering her for only a few days? Has she become so squeamish now? We, the Jiang family, are here to pretend to be rich! We are clearly trying to deceive you into being kind and the Nineteenth Young Master’s good temper!”
Mrs. Tao was also angry. Because she was a step-in-law, she was often provoked by her younger daughter-in-law in her early years.
Because of her special status, the eldest grandson sometimes treats her great-uncle with contempt. Therefore, Mrs. Tao would not be so angry at the disrespect of the younger generation. The problem is that she was the one who brought Qiu Yilan and Jiang Yashuang together!
I originally thought that such a mistress had a wronged life in her mother's family, and after leaving the house, she didn't say she was easy to bully. At least she knew how to be frightened, right? The result is even more aggressive than her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhuang!
If Mrs. Tao is so happy to be aggressive with others, the worst she can do is to deal with the aftermath... But now that the scorn is being thrown at her, Mrs. Tao feels provoked, misjudged, and even deceived. Got it!
Feeling unhappy, Mrs. Tao did not stop Mother Hu from cursing.
And Mother Hu's attitude will naturally be brought out when sending people.
So he was sent to visit Qiu Yilan's servants early the next morning. His attitude was completely different from his previous attitude when he came to deliver messages!
Anyone who comes out of the old lady’s yard should not be underestimated. For example, this old woman, Mrs. Wang, has a smile on her face from beginning to end, and her tone is kind, but her words are such that no part of her body will feel happy after hearing them. !
Not only is it unpleasant, but you can't find a reason to hold her back, and you can't tell why what she said is wrong
But he couldn't explain it, and Qiu Yilan didn't have any fools around him. He immediately realized that Mrs. Wang was here to visit in name, but in fact she was here specifically to cause trouble for others!
"Su He, go to Green Snow Villa and tell the young master and cousin everything about yesterday and today!" As soon as Mrs. Wang left, Zhou's mother's face darkened, and she called her granddaughter to the corner and warned, "Of course. Don’t talk about the matter about the princess for now, lest the young master will worry about the young lady and be sad! After the young lady gets better, let the young lady talk about it herself! "
Su Hewei said: "How can Mrs. Wang have the courage to visit the young lady like this? I'm afraid it's the old lady's side... If I go to Green Snow Villa now... "
"Young Madam is sick, why shouldn't you tell your family?!" Zhou's mother sneered disdainfully. In terms of power, even the Xihe Palace before its fall was incomparable to the Jiang family; but in terms of foundation, Zhou's mother I really look down on the Jiang family, which has only been prosperous for a few decades!
Back then, she was serving a princess, and all she saw was that of a hereditary king—the highest title in the Jiang family now is only that of Duke! If you go beyond the limit, it will be unfair and unfair! Mother Zhou is the best at perfunctory scenes! That is to say, the situation is not as good as others. After the death of Concubine Lian, Zhou's mother has been careful for more than ten years. Now it's not like Qiu Yilan has no one to support her, so she will not continue to be a coward!
When Su He heard this, he immediately changed his clothes and rushed to Green Snow Villa. At 15:10, Qiu Yilan was asked to take the life-saving pills, and then fell ill again. As a result, this morning Mrs. Tao The person sent here to visit the patient was very evil, as if he had a grudge against Qiu Yilan... This incident naturally made Qiu Jinglan turn blue with anger, and asked in a cold voice: "Where is Jiang Yashuang? Is he dead?"
Green Snow Mountain Villa is considered her natal family, and Su He is a dowry from the royal palace. Since there are no outsiders, he naturally calls her by her natal family name: "You can't blame me, the princess drank it before he came back yesterday." I fell asleep due to the medicine and didn't wake up until my uncle went on errands this morning! The princess was still asleep before the servant came over! Fortunately, the fever subsided. "
This is true: Jiang Yashuang looked obviously tired when he went back yesterday, but he still persisted in asking about the story and reason of his wife's illness. At night, he refused the servant's suggestion that he temporarily move to the study and still slept in the inner room. —The ones who stayed with her last night were Chun Ran and Xia Ran. In the morning, Su He heard them say with his own ears that Jiang Yashuang got up several times to check on his wife, so he said that this uncle was pretty good.
After she explained this, Qiu Jinglan slowed down and asked, "So, my sister was angry because the pills were taken away?"
"Uh, that's it, right?" Su He felt a little guilty. In her opinion, the reason why Qiu Yilan fell ill must have been because she was greatly stimulated by Qiu Baozhu telling her the true cause of Princess Ruan's death. Of course, yesterday, from After Mrs. Tao took the pair of jade pillows back to the house, she was so angry that she drank a pot of herbal tea in one breath. This was probably one of the reasons
However, his grandmother, Zhou Mama, told him not to tell Qiu Jinglan about this matter yet, so Su He did not dare to mention it.
However, Qiu Jinglan has met countless people, especially women. Su He thought that not even mentioning Qiu Baozhu's visit would reveal anything, but she didn't know that Qiu Jinglan only glanced at her casually. Seeing that she was hiding something important, her face immediately darkened: "What? You want to hide it from me too? Don't you think that you are my sister's favored maid and I can't give you any rules?!"
How could Su He be his opponent? After being threatened and intimidated by both soft and hard tactics, she couldn't resist and revealed the inside story with sobs: "...the princess has been with the princess all the time, and even fell ill directly after seeing off the second princess! The servant's grandmother said this I must not let you know, otherwise..."
In fact, Qiu Jinglan stopped listening to everything she said now - from the moment Su He said that Princess Xingkang's jealousy led to Princess Ruan's death, Qiu Jinglan only felt a loud bang in her head, and the next words were silent. One word can be heard!
"So that's it? That's it!!!" There are no words to describe Qiu Jinglan's mood at this moment. He always thought that Kuang Shihan rebelled against his adoptive father, General Ruan, because he was greedy for power.
But the news revealed by Qiu Baozhu now is because he covets his own mother-in-law? !
He even killed his own father and harmed his grandfather's family because of this!
In the end, although he failed to achieve his wish, his wife commanded the poisoning of his own mother and concubine through remote control—
"How dare that person have such thoughts!!!" In this generation's concept, the humiliation of a mother being plotted is more profound than a simple revenge for killing her mother!
Qiu Jinglan's eyes were split for a moment: "If that person can't bear such thoughts, my mother, concubine, and grandmother must still be there before my father is dead. I don't have to stay away from home for many years and hide my name. I still can't regain my identity. My sister is gone." Why suffer so much?"
"If that person has hidden his thoughts well - at least my mother and concubine can still be alive. Even if we have been separated for many years, I will always have the opportunity to fulfill my filial piety to her! With my mother and concubine here, my sister will have someone to protect her, and she will not be in danger of death several times. Still alive, especially that time at Dizi Mountain!”
How many nights did he wake up from nightmares, which were so clear:
It was the unwillingness and struggle of his father, Wang Qiu Zhongyan, who insisted on looking back at the capital when he died in battle covered in blood;
It was the sorrow and sorrow of his grandmother, Tai Fei Lian, who in tears forced him to take him away and then drank poison;
It was the mother-in-law who was deserted and full of care, lying alone on the couch thinking about her daughter in Dizi Mountain and the son who could not be mentioned, and she breathed her last breath alone...
The most painful thing that made him unable to breathe was - in the avalanche that roared like a dragon, the young and weak Qiu Yilan was instantly drowned by the snow flow coming from the head!
Even now, Qiu Yilan is married, he can't imagine how this sister survived in the first place? Maybe the ancestors of the Qiu family really have spirits in heaven? Or is it God's mercy
"Anyway, I only have a younger sister now!" Qiu Jinglan thought sadly, "I didn't approve of her marrying Jiang Yashuang before. No matter how good this person is, the Jiang family is flourishing, but now I don't have enough power to support her. , how can we not run into trouble?"
Her eyes gradually turned cold, "But if you think you can handle my sister at will, Mrs. Tao is dreaming!"
His thoughts changed, and he slowly stretched out his hand to cover his chest, and his body swayed - Su He lowered his head and was still carefully comforting him, but he didn't notice that Dong Ran, who was standing behind him in fear, had his hair almost standing on end! He bit his lip hard to hold back his exclamation, and stepped forward to support him: "Go get the doctor!!!"
Now that's good, Zhou's mother sent Su He to report the news. She was thinking that Mrs. Tao's attitude had suddenly changed, and Qiu Yilan was afraid that life would be difficult in the future. She wanted Su He to come and discuss some ideas with Qiu Jinglan. Su He failed to withstand Qiu Jinglan's interrogation, but now it turned out that Qiu Jinglan herself was in a coma due to rage, and was lying on the same bed as her sister - because she had a capable cousin, she had not been able to do it in the past two years. Ruan Ciyi, the eldest lady who didn't care about anything when she left the cabinet and only cared about her own entertainment and recuperation, was naturally alarmed.
Fortunately, the doctor repeatedly assured that Qiu Jinglan was fine: "The main reason is that I was too excited, and my anger hurt my body... I took the medicine and lay down, and I will wake up tonight. After that, I will drink two pairs of prescriptions to restore my health." That’s a problem, the young master is young! Please don’t worry, young lady!”
Ruan Ciyi wiped off her cold sweat and sent the smiling doctor away with double medical bills. She turned around and asked the servant sternly, who made Qiu Jinglan so angry? !
Everyone looked at Su He. Su He came out tremblingly and answered: "My maid reported it..."
"Su He?" Ruan Ciyi's thoughts were focused on Qiu Jinglan before, and she didn't pay attention to the people around her. Only now did she notice Su He, and she was suddenly surprised, "Why are you here?"
She thought again about Qiu Jinglan's city, who else in the world could have anything to do with people and things that could arouse his emotions to the point where he fainted on the spot after hearing the report
Ruan Ciyi also felt dizzy: "What happened to Yilan?!"
"The princess just had a minor illness!" Su He's description had already put down Qiu Jinglan. She was afraid that Ruan Ciyi would follow in her footsteps and there would be no one in charge of the Green Snow Villa. After hearing this, she quickly made a statement. Qiu Yilan's current situation, "I've asked the doctor to take a look at it, and my uncle is also very concerned about it!"
"How could Chunjun be so angry that he fainted?!" Ruan Ciyi raised her voice, "You didn't tell me? Can you bear the responsibility if something big happens due to delay?!"
Su He would never dare to mention Princess Ruan again until he died. Although Princess Ruan was just Ruan Ciyi's aunt, not his biological mother, wasn't his aunt and nephew not flesh and blood? So I didn’t go into details about what happened, and insisted that Qiu Yilan was angry because of the request for medicine: "Originally, yesterday the doctor said that it would be fine to take two doses of medicine, and I didn’t intend to alarm you and the young master. But this morning, I said After receiving the news that the princess was unwell, we sent someone to visit in the yard - the man's nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes, but it was as if the old lady had annoyed the princess... "
Ruan Ciyi was far less scheming than Qiu Jinglan. In addition, Su He lowered his head to reply and could not see his expression clearly. He did not suspect that there was something going on, so his face darkened immediately: "I knew that old woman would be there sooner or later. I can’t tolerate Yilan!”
"Huh?" Su He was stunned.
