Mrs. Tao found out that Qiu Yilan refused Jiang Yashuang's request for a few days off and went out with her to relax.
Combined with the fact that the granddaughter-in-law was obviously unwilling to accept Mother Hu's apology before - Mrs. Tao's face became a little darker: "Nineteen has already followed her so much, what does she want?"
Mother Hu said cautiously: "Fortunately, the Nineteenth Young Master came here in person to explain the reason why Qiu Baozhu came to the door. It shows that the Young Master still respects you very much!"
"I worked so hard to raise them two siblings, and because of this I had a quarrel with Xiao Liu, who was brought under my knees first!" Mrs. Tao sneered, "As long as they have some conscience, they should be loyal to me. —There are only a few people like Kuang Shihan in this world!”
After sneering, he sighed again, "But now, Nineteen is facing me... isn't he also facing her? He has already finished helping the Seventh Prince, and the Hanlin Academy has no urgent matters now. However, Chaohai ordered him to follow the boss these days. , the third child comes and goes to observe government affairs... Because his wife is unhappy, he actually wants to take a few days off! If Chaohai finds out, he will not be punished unless Chaohai changes his sexual behavior for decades! "
A hint of cruelty flashed across Mother Hu's face: "That just lets the old man know her true nature! The old man has high hopes for the Nineteenth Young Master, how could he allow such an ignorant woman to implicate the Nineteenth Young Master?! With the Old Master's methods, sooner or later Let her go out of the hall!"
"Don't even think about it!" Mrs. Tao narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "You are so confused! Have you forgotten how many good things I said for her in front of Chaohai when she came over? Otherwise, the Xihe Palace will be such an empty shell now, Qiu Jinglan has not yet matured. Considering Chaohai's love for his little grandson, how can he let him marry such a wife who has no help from his in-laws? "
She said coldly, "After all, Chao Hai is getting older. When he was here, the Jiang family naturally didn't care about in-laws. Once something happened to him, and the family would be divided among several people, in-laws would become important. Especially the eldest daughter-in-law of the fourth room is Qianbin, the Tao family... Hey! Due to his background, Sixteen is destined not to marry a daughter of a high family! Not only is the fourth room the one who will support the family in the future, his father-in-law should also be better than him. In order to be able to assist the fourth room—"
It was she who persuaded Qin Guogong to agree to Jiang Yashuang's marriage to Qiu Yilan. As a result, less than half a year after Qiu Yilan's arrival, things are not going well... Can Duke Qin not blame Mrs. Tao for not being able to recognize people? !
Therefore, not only could Mrs. Tao not speak ill of Qiu Yilan in front of Duke Qin, but she also had to help explain it when others did.
Just thinking about it makes my heart bleed!
"This nineteen-year-old lady is really hiding too much! Seeing how she started to get in touch with the big brother when she walked in, I thought she was a bit aggressive. Although she likes to get picky, she is still a straight-tempered woman!" Mother Hu said when she saw Mr. Tao The man was so stunned that he could no longer speak, and he was really filled with hatred. He cursed angrily, "Who knew she was just pretending! Since she knew the truth about the death of her mother and concubine, it was still daylight when Princess Ningxin left. It's only a few steps from her yard to ours? It's not like it's so far away! Why can't you send someone over to explain it? , and deliberately broke the crystal plate to mislead her - if you know what Princess Ning Xin said to her, wouldn't you feel sorry for her?"
He apologized again, "It's the old slave who didn't make the arrangements well. Then Mrs. Wang is still not smart enough in her work..."
In fact, the reason why Qiu Yilan did not report what Qiu Baozhu said in a timely manner was because she did not mean to slander the old lady. It was just because it was not time to touch Princess Xingkang, and the matter also involved Ruan. She felt that there was no need to tell her husband's family about the princess' reputation. Anyway, whether it was Princess Xingkang or Kuang Shihan, they would all be destroyed sooner or later.
- As for saying that it was such a coincidence, would it cause Mrs. Tao to misunderstand... At that time, Qiu Yilan was annoyed, how could she think about Mrs. Tao? Only one of the servants, Su He, listened to the conversation between Qiu Baozhu and her. Su He had been watched by Princess Ruan while she was growing up. When she heard such a secret, it was too late to be sad, and she never expected to remind Qiu Yilan!
Mrs. Tao, a master and a servant, grew up in a big family. The Jiang family she married into was also a mixed family, and she had long been accustomed to overthinking things. Will this deepen the misunderstanding
"Mother-in-law Wang has been with me for many years and she has hugged me a few times." Mrs. Tao said calmly, "When she went to visit her daughter-in-law, she was not there! The reason why she believed that I gave his daughter-in-law a look, It's just because he believed what the servants in the courtyard said... So, it's not that Mrs. Wang is not smart enough in what she does, it's because we all underestimated the influence of the Qiu family on Nineteen! Even the servants around her said that Nineteen can listen to what she said. Go in!"
Mother Hu sighed: "And she clearly holds a grudge now... What should we do?"
"She saved Xue Nongying. Xue Chang was willing to join forces with our family, the Queen Mother of Yin Death Valley, because of this kindness!" Mrs. Tao squinted her eyes, looked at the patterns on her sleeves, and said softly, "Over there with the Zhenxi Army She also has to count on her brother Qiu Jinglan to sort things out... So she is not being moved at the moment. Even if Chao Hai knows that she is not good, he will not do anything to her in the past few years. He will just treat her as before. , Anyway, the future is bright!”
Mother Hu was a little angry, but thinking about the current situation... Xue Chang and Qiu Jinglan were unhappy because of a dispute over a grandson's daughter-in-law. Duke Qin would definitely not agree. So Mrs. Tao really needs to continue to show her kindness and amiability - Mother Hu felt very aggrieved: "Without Mrs. Tao, how would she have a chance to come in? It's really hateful!"
"Since Nineteenth is going to take leave these two days, we can't just sit idle." Mrs. Tao said calmly, "I'm going to lie down tomorrow and the day after. You can tell Nineteenth in private, saying that I don't feel happy, but now There are already several people at home who are sick or in trouble, and I really don’t want to cause trouble again by speaking out... I just lie there all the time with my bones aching, thinking that if he comes to talk to me, the child will definitely come over, and I will do it myself. Talk to him!"
Mother Hu understood: "My maid will definitely explain it clearly to the Nineteenth Young Master. You definitely did not fall ill because you were worried that the Nineteenth Young Master would be angry!"
Isn't it just pretending to be sick? Who wouldn't? You, a junior, even if you lie down first, will it matter if your elder is sick
When their master and servant were discussing how to deal with Qiu Yilan, Qiu Yilan had just sent Jiang Yashuang away and summoned Su He to interrogate him: "Who told you to tell Nineteen about your mother and concubine?! You said it , he immediately ran to tell the old lady that it was okay to ruin my plan. Don’t think about it. Of course, the concubine accepted the bracelet for me. How can outsiders not comment after knowing it? Are you really out of your mind to do this? Things are coming!”
Su He hurriedly explained: "My maid, there is nothing I can do! When the young master came back, Mother Hu arrived on the back. She kept saying that the old lady was worried about you, so she sent people over to visit you again and again. She was extremely concerned about you in front of the young master. "Yes, but the underlying meaning behind the words is that you fell ill just to vent your anger on the Queen. Although the young master didn't say anything, the maid felt from the look on his face that he believed him... That's why... "
Then he said, "How could the maid tell the prince about the princess? The maid only said that Princess Xingkang did not have much effect in winning over the hearts of the Zhenxi Army, so she took action to anger the princess! And now the prince also has Princess Yang and the others all have a share!”
Although this statement does not stand up to scrutiny - after all, Princess Ruan is a female and has never been to the Zhenxi Army, and has little influence on the Zhenxi Army. Even when Princess Xingkang was trying to win over the Zhenxi Army, she was resisted by the old people of the Xihe Palace. , the one who should be angry should be Qiu Mengmin, who inherited the king's title, not the widow Princess Ruan.
But he finally knew how to cover up the secret affairs of Princess Ruan who was coveted by Kuang Shihan!
Qiu Yilan's face softened a little: "Even if Nineteen misunderstands, what if you let him misunderstand for a day or two? In the future, don't make your own decisions on such things without my permission! Don't think about it, you can't help Mother Hu's passionate words , she just ran over to kowtow a few words and say a few words of apology, and the matter is over! After I am fully recovered, I will have to apologize to the old lady. After all, her confidant must be treated with dignity when she meets her at the age of nineteen. , but he knocked me down in front of everyone and kept saying that he deserved to die... Could I not express anything?"
The voice lowered, "If you drag it on for a while... the faces over there will be too much. Let's make it clear to Nineteenth later. Can Nineteenth not be more toward me? Why are you so stupid!"
Su He was startled, and suddenly became extremely annoyed: "My servant is just too stupid!"
"Whenever you encounter problems in the future, please ask your grandmother for advice. Don't do things carelessly with your passion!" Qiu Yilan snorted and scolded her gently, then asked, "Today and yesterday, I fell asleep. Is there anything going on inside and outside?"
Su He calmed down and said: "It's still the same at home. After knowing that you were sick, we sent people from each house to ask. It's the eighth young lady's side. Mother Hu explained to the young master before that the eighth young lady has too much time to take care of herself now. I was afraid that if she found out, not only would she not be able to help, but it would be detrimental to her recovery... I didn’t say anything.”
"What about outside? Especially Xihe Palace?" Qiu Yilan nodded and asked.
"Over there?" When Qiu Yilan agreed to Qiu Baozhu's request, Su He was listening nearby. Naturally, he knew the purpose of her question. He pondered for a moment and then said, "I haven't heard anything."
Qiu Yilan looked at her: "Keep an eye on them... If we don't have suitable manpower, we'll go to Green Snow Villa to get some. Of course, we'll have to think of a suitable reason!"
But Young Master, he already knew it! I don’t even know if I’m awake now!
Su He didn't dare to say this, so he smiled and said, "Yes... I'll take care of it when I get back."
Before she went out, Jiang Yashuang came back. Seeing that Su He was the only one waiting, she asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Talk about my uncle's family affairs." Qiu Yilan said lightly, "You have to do what you promised to the second sister, right? And Kuang Qingwu is probably thinking of an opportunity to do something right now, so he can take advantage of it. It will save me nothing. Get infamy!"
Since Su He had previously included Qiu Mengmin and his wife, as well as the late Lu and Aunt Kang, on the list of persons involved in the murder of Princess Ruan, Jiang Yashuang now felt that since it was natural for his wife to avenge her mother, There is really no reason for people to still talk about it. It's just that the truth about Princess Ruan's death is not suitable to be disclosed immediately. It is indeed best to use Kuang Qingwu's opportunity to take action.
He was worried about how to comfort his wife who was "so sad that she couldn't even cry because she knew the truth about his birth mother's death. She was so sad that she couldn't even cry." He immediately asked for help: "Shall I take care of this? What can a maid in Su He do?" ? Besides, she still has to serve you."
Qiu Yilan didn't know that he was being urged by Qin Guogong to become a trainee politician these two days, and thought that he was accompanying the seventh prince on a business trip, so she said: "That's fine... By the way, can I mention my second brother-in-law's business by the way? There’s no need to raise it too high. Mainly, since my second sister is here, there must be a reason, right?”
"What kind of thing is this?" Jiang Yashuang said, "Tomorrow I will ask Jiang Tan to run around with a post, and I will promote him the day after!"
... Jiang Yashuang personally stared at Qiu Mengmin and his party. With his wrists and the manpower at his disposal, he could naturally detect any slightest movement.
Coincidentally, news came out in the evening of the next day: "Princess Yang entered the palace at noon this afternoon. It was said that she was to discuss Princess Ningtai's resignation from the cabinet. But after returning, she refused Princess Ningtai's request for an audience. Instead, He locked himself in the room and refused to see anyone, including King Xihe."
"Most likely Kuang Qingwu asked Queen Mother Gu to give her a hint, or try to see if the Xihe Palace can protect Qiu Jinzhu, or even her and Qiu Yinzhi." Qiu Yilan sneered as she listened to the servant's report across the screen. , said to Jiang Yashuang, who was blowing the medicine soup for her, "Either I exchange my daughter for the future prosperity of myself and my son! After all, my own flesh and blood, if I don't struggle, I won't be my mother anymore!"
"I have already sent someone to contact her, and that person is going to see her tonight - don't worry, he will be able to explain to the second sister!" Jiang Yashuang tried the medicine and felt it was ok, walked to the couch and sat down, "You go first Take the medicine!"
