Jiang Tianhe, the fifth aunt of the Jiang family, will bring a lot of excitement to the Jiang family after she returns to Beijing with her husband. Because it takes time to get the transfer order to Guanzhou and pack up and leave there, so after Qin Guogong took the decision to suppress Jiang Huizhi's matter, the country The palace was quiet as usual.
As for the silence being only temporary... Qiu Yilan felt that Jiang Tianhe and his wife should only be grateful to her anyway, not resentful. If they wanted to toss the big house, Duke Qin, etc., it had nothing to do with her!
So she turned around and put the matter behind her, and began to plan the marriages of Su He and his wife.
The custom at this time was that when the girl's family heard that her life was mentioned, she was always shy and timid and refused to speak. Qiu Yilan simply called Mother Zhou and Mother Li to calculate together.
As a result, the two old men advised her not to think about it now: "You have been married for more than a year, and you have started to drink the decoction that is good for pregnancy in the past few days. Like the late princess, you can be pregnant after drinking it for a few months." ! Originally, our young master was handsome and kind-hearted, so we shouldn’t have too many people staring at us from inside and outside! Now that you are here in person, those people don’t dare to do anything. If they know that you are pregnant, they will not care. Can you not move?"
"Su He and the others are the people you are used to! They will take care of your pregnancy, delivery and confinement. Since you are relieved, I can also look after the door for you! You will promise them out now, and someone else will come up. Who knows? Will he lure the wolf into the house and seduce the young master under the guise of serving you?"
"Even if you don't seduce the young master, maybe he has more evil intentions and is here just for you? Have you forgotten that when the eighth young lady was here earlier, someone had an idea of her position? The Jiang family is now more prominent than in the past. The Ninth Young Master is the best among his peers, the grandson whom the old man values the most, and there are many more people who have ideas about him than the Eighth Young Master!"
"So it's better to let Su He and the others serve you and have your eldest son, and then let them get married!"
The two old servants are so loyal, especially Zhou's mother is Su He's biological grandmother - her son and his wife have both passed away, and there is only such a granddaughter - Qiu Yilan feels warm in her heart, but feels that this is unfair to Su He and the others: " Girls’ youth is short, doesn’t this delay them too much? And who can say for sure about this heir?”
If I, like little Mrs. Tao, fail to conceive in a few years, wouldn’t I have to deceive them for the rest of their lives
Even if pregnancy occurs after three to five years, according to the common age of getting married at this time, these maids will still be old women!
"What did the young lady say? You have the appearance of the late princess, and your body must be the same!" Zhou's mother became unhappy when she heard this, and said anxiously, "The late princess drank this decoction back then. You got pregnant not long ago! The reason why you only have one brother is because the late prince prioritized serving the country and went to the frontier not long after his wedding. From then on, unless he returned to Beijing to resume his duties, he would be far away from the late princess. You must have many brothers and sisters!”
Mother Li smoothed things over and said, "Young Madam is also feeling sorry for Su He and the others. From the old slave's point of view, it is better to find them a good family first and settle the matter, but not for the time being. Wait until Young Madam has an heir, and then we can talk about leaving the cabinet." , this way I can also enjoy Mr. Sun’s happiness!”
Qiu Yilan saw that they were determined to let Su He and others serve her until they had a biological son, so she had no choice but to accept the result and said, "Then what kind of husband should I choose for them? I asked them themselves, Refuse to say!"
Mother Li stopped talking about this topic, after all, there was no junior like her among the eldest maids.
Zhou's mother said: "Whatever you like will be fine! You always love them and will definitely choose the right one for them."
"Good character does not necessarily mean you will be compatible!" Qiu Yilan was about to persuade her to ask Su He and others what kind of man they like, when Shen Shui suddenly knocked on the door and said: "Young madam, there is someone coming over from the other courtyard. , said the people who live there want to see you!"
"Other courtyard?" Qiu Yilan was stunned for a moment and then realized, "Oh, where is Mei Xue and Swing? What do they want to see me for? Have they found traces of Qiu Nie? Or can't wait any longer and want to go there? Looking for Qiu Nie? Come in and tell me!”
After entering the door, Shen Shui saluted, then greeted the two mothers, and then said, "The person who sent the message didn't say anything. He only said that they haven't eaten for several days."
"I think it's because they refused to send a message to them." Qiu Yilan guessed. Mother Zhou and Mother Li both nodded. She thought for a moment and then said, "Let them eat well and recuperate. When they recover, Bring it here again!”
Shen Shui accepted the order and left.
Interrupted by her, Mother Li stood up and excused herself, saying that it was almost time to cook and she had to go to the kitchen to prepare.
When Zhou's mother saw this, she repeatedly said that Su He was not in a hurry and would wait a few days before talking. But Mei Xue and Zhuqian suddenly wanted to find Qiu Yilan. Maybe something happened
"Nine out of ten have something to do with Qiu Nie." Qiu Yilan thought, "When Qiu Nie ran away with Deng Yi, mother and son, I don't know where they went? Later, the Jiang family arrested them several times, and even found I went into the sea to search for documents but couldn't find it! This Qiu Nie is from Tianya. "His hiding ability is good. If only Deng Yi and his son were hiding, they would have been caught long ago.
Of course, this was also because Qiu Jinglan ignored them. Qiu Yilan believed that if her brother took action, Qiu Nie would not be able to hide at all. Thinking of this, she frowned: "My brother was busy with big things before, and the main strength of 'Tianya' was also restrained! But last time I wrote a letter on the 19th, I told me that my brother has finally been able to take a breath recently and can take care of his personal affairs... Could it be that he is already looking for Qiunie and Deng Yi? "
The Jiang family might not care too much about Qiunie alone. But at the beginning, Gu Yan personally confessed that he ordered Qiu Nie to send away Deng Yi mother and son. Although the Gu family had been executed, after all, it was the natal family of the Queen Mother Regent. The remnants could not be eliminated in a day or two. Deng Yi mother and son both had the blood of the Gu family, so let alone If you don't care, it might be a trouble in the future. The Jiang family can't rest assured if they don't find him!
"I really don't know what benefits Gu Yan promised Qiu Nie, or is he worried about the previous enmity with my brother and me? But his sister Swing and his lover Mei Xue are both in my hands. He is just worried. How dare he not come?" Qiu Yilan thought to herself, "The Gu family has fallen, but he didn't sell Deng Yi and his son - he was very straightforward when he betrayed his brother before!"
"Could it be possible that he capsized in the sewer and was killed by Deng Yi and his mother?" Thinking of this possibility, Qiu Yilan's expression froze, "Qiu Nie was deprived of martial arts, and even if there are no sequelae, he is probably about the same as ordinary people. There are two of them, Deng Yi and Mrs. Gu... If they had brought some servants with them when they left, they might have killed Qiu Nie in such a swarm!"
Until now, Deng Yi and his son have not been found. Is it because they were brought to a safe place by Qiu Nie and then killed and silenced by Qiu Nie
"Mama Li is also pointing out that he will be the heir for Qiu Zhongyan and his wife..." Qiu Yilan sighed, "But don't come here and die!"
When Jiang Yashuang came back in the evening, Qiu Yilan asked him about Qiu Nie and the other three fugitives: "Are you still looking for them at home?"
"I'm looking for it, but I'm not in a hurry anymore." When Jiang Yashuang heard that Mei Xue and Zhuqian wanted to see her, she reminded her, "Those two have been in Tianya after all. Even if they are now helpless, However, it’s hard to guard against all kinds of underhand tactics! You’d better be careful when meeting them!”
"I know." Qiu Yilan had capsized in their hands before. Although it was because she was unprepared that time, it had a lot to do with their good acting. Although they probably didn't dare to do anything to him this time, they couldn't have completely lost their vigilance.
Jiang Yashuang was still uneasy and said: "Well, since you only said you would let them come for a few days but not the exact date, then let's meet them on a holiday and I'll meet them at home!"
Qiu Yilan smiled and said, "Why do you need to be so prepared to face a formidable enemy?" But she still agreed, "Then I'll see you on holiday."
On the holiday, people from other courtyards brought Mei Xue and the swing over.
After not seeing each other for two or three years, the appearance of these two people has not changed much. Mei Xue is still charming, standing there dignifiedly, but somehow she looks like she is seducing; the swing is still pretty and beautiful, and her expression is innocent, but When they looked at each other, their undisguised eyes revealed a ruthless indifference.
Qiu Yilan has never asked how the other courtyard has been raising them in the past few months. Now she can see how they are dressed. Although they are not the best, they are not bad either. The two of them looked pretty good too—the kind that could not be restored in just a few days. I thought that the food and clothing in the other hospital should not be short of them. I was probably on hunger strike just to see myself, so my energy was not damaged. .
After the two sides looked at each other, seeing that they were silent, Qiu Yilan took the initiative and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"When will your brother come back?" Mei Xue was about to speak, but Swing Qian took over the topic and asked dissatisfiedly, "He will be a year younger when he goes to Shazhou, right? He hasn't been back for so long, and my brother has to wander outside. "Are you trying to default on your debt?"
Qiu Yilan was confused when she heard this: "What kind of deadbeat? My brother..." Her heart skipped a beat when she said this, and she looked at them suspiciously, "Bill? What kind of bill?" Don't tell me that you are also undercover!
"He also said how much he loves you, but he didn't tell you anything!" Zhuqian rolled his eyes at her, "My brother took over the most losing business in his life, and he almost got me and Sister Xue involved - but what happened? The task has been completed long ago, but your brother, the employer, has not come back to pay the bill!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't tell me that he will live in Shazhou for ten or eight years! We don't have that much time to wait!"
Qiu Yilan frowned. Although she knew that Qiu Jinglan was hiding many things from her, and now that the life and death of Mei Xue and Zhu Qian were in her hands, she might not dare to bluff, but Zhu Qian's aggressive attitude still made her feel uncomfortable.
So he simply ignored the reason and said coldly: "Since the account is with my brother, then you can talk to him when my brother comes back. As for when my brother will come back, Shazhou is a border area and involves foreign races. There are so many things going on with Sheji. You are the one who runs the court and you are an important person in the border area. Are you going to come back as soon as you want?"
She choked the swing and was stunned for a long time. Just as she was about to jump, Mei Xue saw that the situation was not going well and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Princess, please don't misunderstand me. The young master did hire Brother Nie to handle an urgent matter. As promised, the matter will be done later." We will pay you immediately. But now that we have finished the work for several months, the young master has not come back. We have been living in the Jiang Family Courtyard. We don’t even know where Brother Nie has gone, so we are really worried! , I want to ask the princess for help, should I mention it in the letter to the young master? "
"It's not enough to talk like that!" Qiu Yilan snorted and glared at the swing - but saw that the other party was also looking at her with dissatisfaction, she couldn't help curling her lips, and then said to Mei Xue, "If you don't tell me what happened, I How to mention it to him?"
"We don't dare to tell you what happened without the Young Master's permission!" Mei Xue smiled and said softly, "You just need to tell us that we are here to ask the Young Master for the reward he promised, and the Young Master will know!"
Qiu Yilan failed to use the formula, her face turned gloomy, and she suddenly slapped the table: "Stop talking nonsense! What on earth is going on?! Tell me truthfully and in detail, otherwise you don't have to dare to go against brother's wishes. I will let you go now." You can’t disobey me!”
Do you really think that she, the young lady of the Jiang family, did her job for nothing? !
