The meaning of Tang Xinqiong's words is very obvious: If the Jiang family has an in-law named Dou who colludes with the Western barbarians, who knows if there will be another relative who betrays the Western Army
However, although Princess Yan was speaking to Qiu Yilan at the moment, her real target was Dou's aunt and nephew who was next to Mrs. Tao. As soon as she finished speaking, Dou and Little Dou both turned to look at each other. Zhang's equally haggard face was full of resentment and resentment that could not be concealed: "Princess Yan, do you want to teach my nephew-in-law a lesson in front of everyone in the Jiang family?!"
Although Mrs. Dou has always been arrogant, her decades as the first wife of the Jiang family were not in vain. Tang Xinqiong was charged with overstepping the mark at the first opening of her mouth!
Little Dou's cooperation immediately followed: "Ordinarily, you are a princess. In terms of rank, only the second uncle in our family can be equal to you. The title of princess of the nineteen younger siblings is half a level lower than yours. You can't say a few words." It doesn’t matter! It’s just that the Queen is still here. Are you here on the orders of the Queen? If so, the nineteen brothers and sisters will come forward to thank the Queen for her teachings; if not, what can you do? Have you reprimanded your wife?"
Disciplining a married woman is not a power that ordinary wives can have. The only ones who can legitimately do this are the Queen Mother and the Empress. Naturally, Tang Xinqiong did not dare to take this charge, but she had a basis for daring to come here: "Mrs. Dou only knows about the Queen, but doesn't she know about the Queen Mother who is above the Queen? I am here just on the orders of the Queen Mother to raise the issue. Princess Ningyi, this is why the Queen Mother hopes that Ruan Qingyan will be selected and cherishes his talent!"
After saying that, he looked at Qiu Yilan with a half-smile, obviously waiting for her to thank Ruan Qingyan on behalf of him.
However, Qiu Yilan would not follow her wishes. He didn't even look at her. He bent down slightly and said to Mrs. Tao with a smile: "Grandma, I saw Cousin Xin!"
"I know you are thinking about her, so go ahead. I don't have anything for you to serve here." Mrs. Tao smiled softly with a loving look on her face, "You have been very busy these days. It's rare that you can spend time with your sister and sister tonight. Say something, can I still allow it?”
"I know grandma loves me!" Qiu Yilan smiled sweetly, said hello to the old lady and Dou's aunt and nephew who were paying attention to her, and left, "I'm going to talk to Cousin Xin!"
Tang Xinqiong had known for a long time that she was difficult to deal with, but she never expected that Qiu Yilan could still treat her like nothing after he openly carried out Queen Mother Gu!
At this time, it was no longer a question of whether she was angry or not, but that she had to stare at Qiu Yilan and ask for an explanation! Otherwise, if the matter comes back to Queen Mother Gu, even if she is Queen Mother Gu's direct granddaughter and daughter-in-law, there will be a gap in Queen Mother Gu!
"Ning Yi! What do you mean?" Tang Xinqiong suppressed her anger and shouted slightly, raising her voice, "The Queen Mother takes care of your cousin, shouldn't you thank him for it!"
Qiu Yilan turned back and smiled at her: "Are you a fool? We are all from the Jiang family here. You brought a little maid over here to make trouble. Aren't you afraid that we will all give you a big shame?!"
These words made Tang Xinqiong's face turn red and she was speechless for a moment. When Qiu Yilan saw this, the smile on her lips deepened: "I know, you were squeezed in by Princess Zhou, right? Although Her Royal Highness Princess Changping allowed your sister to enter Prince Zhou's Mansion first. , but now it seems that you two sisters are not as powerful as Princess Zhou? What will you do if this keeps going? Your sister will have to be careful in the future under Princess Zhou!"
"Provoking words!" Tang Xinqiong gritted her teeth!
Qiu Yilan smiled: "Are you provoking me? You know in your heart that I will tell my grandmother to look for cousin Xin, just to give you a chance to step down! Otherwise, you think you can just come here on the orders of the Queen Mother." Okay? Her Royal Highness Princess Changping, who was raised by the Queen Mother, is not here. I am not telling you that you can’t defeat Princess Zhou. You should say less in the future, or ask Princess Changping for advice... I don’t want you to make a fool of yourself here today. , because I don’t want Princess Zhou to be too proud, do you understand?”
After saying that, he ignored Tang Xinqiong and left with a flick of his sleeves!
She left. Tang Xinqiong was stunned for a moment, stamped her feet angrily, but then she left too!
Mrs. Tao just watched the quarrel between the juniors quietly. She waited until Tang Xinqiong had gone far away, and then said to Dou, who was bowing to her: "The nineteenth daughter-in-law is very discerning. She immediately noticed the sudden appearance of Princess Yan. But she was plotted by Princess Zhou... Speaking of which, although Princess Zhou is young, she is really powerful! Even if the nineteenth daughter-in-law will tell Princess Yan that she was plotted by Princess Zhou, I am afraid that Princess Yan will not be able to do anything to her when she goes back. , if we really talk about it in front of Queen Mother Gu, Princess Zhou might be remembered for her contribution!"
After a pause, "It's no wonder she offended Princess Changping, and Queen Mother Gu wants her to be her granddaughter-in-law!"
There was something in Mrs. Tao's words, and Mrs. Dou naturally understood it. She looked at the tea bowl beside her expressionlessly and said softly: "Second aunt, don't worry, my nephew knows that Princess Yan came here to say those words, just to provoke her! How can a wife be so stupid that she can’t see through such a superficial calculation? Does Princess Zhou, a junior, also want to use her daughter-in-law to perform meritorious deeds? "
Having said that, the fingers hidden in the sleeves were clasped tightly - at this time, the Dou family still didn't know that it was Jiang Yashuang who had tricked their family this time. In the final analysis, it was Jiang Yashuang who did such a great job. The ambition of the eldest family member made him feel annoyed and intolerable - but Dou still could not calm down under Tang Xinqiong's instigation: "Not long ago, the Duan family on the Queen Mother's side was replaced by the secretly betrayed Tao family. Now, now What happened to my Dou family is the Queen Mother’s revenge! But why should the Jiang family have so many in-laws?”
She was already unwilling to do so, but Tang Xinqiong's mention that Qiu Jinglan was on her way to Shazhou stung her heart. "Yue'er is already on her way back to Beijing. As promised, he is in Beijing." After a year and a half of recovering from the injury, I will let my husband give me some advice. When the man named Qiu takes care of the Kuang family and his son, Yue'er will be able to go to Zhenxi Army Center!"
But now, other children of the Jiang family can serve in the Zhenxi Army, but their eldest brother cannot!
Who told their maternal family to collude with the Western Barbarians? !
"Yue'er is still more outstanding than his elder brother. He gave up the imperial examination and entered the army just for the sake of military power. However, that villain Jiang Tianchi tried every means to suppress him. What a great opportunity it is to suppress the Western Army this time!" Dou Shi lowered his head and bit his trembling lips, "Now not only is there no hope, but there is no chance of returning to the Zhenbei Army again? If he becomes a civilian, he will have neglected the imperial examination in the army for many years. Even if we start from scratch, Jiang Tianchi’s son has entered the Hanlin Academy!”
Over the years, the Jiang family has become accustomed to seeing their cousins and nephews from a bird's eye view. The kindness inherited from Kui County men, and the two uncles' repeated accommodations and concessions have made it a point to be strong at the tip. The true nature of Dou and others!
Now that the Dou family is in ruin, the Dou family is grieved and frightened, but the jealousy and hatred in their hearts are growing even more wildly.
Tang Xinqiong's provocation was simple and rough. It wasn't that Mrs. Dou didn't know her intentions, but she also knew that Mrs. Tao's words were a reminder of her reluctance. However, it is easier said than done.
"That bitch Zhuang, how many times did she humiliate me in public in the early years because of Xiaoba's cleverness?!" Especially when Tang Xinqiong chose Qiu Yilan as the lead, she was the daughter-in-law of the fourth room, which suddenly awakened Dou's awareness of The memory of the fourth wife, Mrs. Zhuang, the sister-in-law, "Now that the Dou family has met such an end, if she returns to Beijing in the future, won't she step on me in the mud?! What a good thing she is as a daughter-in-law, especially in terms of domineering Above her!"
"Even if I can't give the nephews and nieces of the Dou family a chance of survival this time, I will never let the fourth room be proud again!!!"
...Qiu Yilan didn't know that even though Mrs. Tao helped her to enlighten Mrs. Dou, Mrs. Dou still hated her. She was happily describing her eldest daughter to Xin Fuling: "She just landed and was carried out of the delivery room. When my grandmother looked at it, I took a photo and saw that it was so red and wrinkled that I was shocked. It took two days for it to grow whiter and it looks even cuter now!
Xin Fubing had never seen a newborn baby before, so he listened with interest: "Really? Why is it wrinkled? That's so scary!"
"Later I heard from the mother next to me that the child had just been born..." Before he finished speaking, someone behind him chuckled and said, "You guys are hiding here during the New Year and talking about the children. Is Ning Yi worried about the heir?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yilan and Xin Fubing's expressions darkened. When they looked back, they both frowned: The identity of the visitor was really hard to figure out.
It's Xue Fangmi.
Thinking of Xue Chang's face, Qiu Yilan didn't want to be too sharp with her, but because the previous contact with her had such a bad impression, she always felt that her words seemed to be sarcastic that she hadn't gotten pregnant yet. So after thinking about it, he said: "Mrs. Xue said something harsh, but she just thought her niece was cute, so she whispered a few words to Cousin Xin, not wanting to offend Mrs. Xue!"
This is a tactful sneer at Xue Fangmi for eavesdropping. How can I not hear the intentions of the prime minister's beloved daughter? The smile at the corner of his mouth immediately froze, and he said coldly: "I happened to be walking around here to hear something, so I asked casually. If I had known that I would annoy you, I wouldn't have said this more. I'm sorry!"
Saying this, he bowed.
Qiu Yilan naturally refused to let her bow down. He took a step forward and held her arm up, smiling and saying, "Miss Xue, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you out here? Isn't this a joke?"
Xue Fangmi tried hard several times but couldn't get away. She was holding her so hard that she couldn't move. She was frightened and just when she was about to scold him, Mrs. Xue Sun and Xue Nongqing had already caught up. Quan pretended not to see her situation and laughed first. Then he greeted Qiu and Xin, exchanged a few words, and then said: "Princess Ningyi, do you want to talk to your sister? What a coincidence, we have to go over to sit down!"
He lowered his voice and said, "I made an appointment to have a few words with the old lady of the Li family."
"Then don't you dare disturb Miss Xue!" The Li family, the family where Xue Fangmi just got engaged, heard that Qiu Yilan let go without saying a word - at this time, there was a dull pain in Xue Fangmi's arm, and she knew it was pinched without even looking. No, she couldn't help but look at Xue Sun in aggrieved manner: "Sister-in-law!" Are you going too far? !
Mrs. Xue Sun gave her a sharp and warning look. After Qiu Yilan and Xin Fubing said goodbye with a smile and walked away, she said coldly: "How many times have I told you not to cause trouble to my father again! You just don’t listen, do you? Do you know what the situation is now? If you couldn’t get away, what time did I tell you before you left? Only then can you be sensible!”
"You can't blame me this time, okay?!" Xue Fangmi's chest was full of anger and resentment. She whispered in a trembling voice, "I just walk from here, occasionally listen to them talking, and ask casually, then Ning Yi will follow Doubting me like a cat whose tail has been stepped on—"
"Isn't that the crime you committed before?!" Mrs. Xue Sun became even more angry when she saw her like this. She was told by Xue Chang to discipline her sister-in-law like a daughter. At this moment, she turned cold and scolded, "If you had If you don't offend her, will she be embarrassed by you? Let me tell you, since the twelfth lunar month, things have happened one after another in the Duan family, the Tao family, and the Dou family. Even our family may not be able to be willful now! The whole family’s life and future are at ease. Believe it or not, I will send you back immediately, and you won’t even be able to step out of the house until you leave the house!”
Seeing that Xue Fangmi was shaking with anger, everyone nearby looked over. Although they didn't hear Mrs. Xue Sun's specific words of scolding her sister-in-law, Qiu Yilan and Xin Fuling had a good conversation, but soon after Xue Fangmi came over, He left suddenly, and one could guess that Xue Fangmi was especially embarrassed. There were quite a few people pointing fingers in the crowd.
Xue Nongqing couldn't bear it. She pulled Xue Sun's sleeve and whispered: "Mother, my little aunt knows the importance of this. Just now, Princess Ningyi thought she really misunderstood!"
"What does she know?!" In the eyes of Mrs. No matter whether the Xue family lives or not! From now on, you are not allowed to leave my eyes! Even if you go to change clothes, you have to go with me! Do you know that if you can't do that, you don't want to attend? !”
He took another look at the people around him and showed a forced smile, "The kid's family is so ignorant... I'll make everyone laugh!"
Naturally, no one came up to inquire about the specific reason without looking at it, and they all expressed their understanding. Xue Sun worked hard to deal with them for a while, and led Xue Fangmi and Xue Nongqing to their seats.
-At this time, both her and Xue Fangmi's expressions returned to calm.
