Jiang Yashuang looked innocent: "I didn't send anyone to kill her!"
"What?" Qiu Yilan looked at Ling Zui suspiciously.
"Hongxing cheated and colluded with an adulterer to harm her husband—even if she is Xue Xiang's old daughter, do you think she can continue to live?" Ling Zui asked nonchalantly.
Qiu Yilan looked at her husband again in surprise: "Did you do it?"
Jiang Yashuang muttered: "I just arranged for people to find a lot of things for Li Xuan to do so that he had no time to go back to the backyard. I also arranged for people to seduce the Xue family... But I didn't talk about colluding with an adulterer to murder her husband. Xuan has a good relationship with her brother.”
Ling Zui said: "Don't think about it, I was the one who caused this incident! Because of Chunjun, Li Xuan and I are also friends. How could I just watch him being raped by a lowly woman like Mrs. Xue?" Are you going? Now Li Xuan can get rid of this shameless thing and doesn’t have to offend Xue Xiang!”
He added, "Sister Qiu, don't think I'm cruel. Think about it, even though there was an adulterer's instigation, Mrs. Xue herself didn't agree. How could the adulterer alone murder Li Xuan?! This shows that Mrs. Xue How vicious! If this kind of people are not eradicated in time, they may cause trouble in the future!"
Qiu Yilan said: "How can I sympathize with her? I'm just surprised."
Thinking of Xue Chang's relationship with Qiu Jinglan, I couldn't help but sigh, "Xue Xiang was so wise in his life that he gave birth to such a daughter!"
"Fortunately, Mr. Xue is an understanding person, otherwise the Li family would really be stunned to death!" Ling Zui muttered, "Now Li Xuan has to stay in Xizhou for a while before setting off, so Mrs. Xue will be secretly escorted back to Beijing... But I guess Xue Xiang won’t let her enter Beijing.”
There are so many nobles in the capital, who doesn't have a few spies? Xue Fangmi stole someone while she was still newly married and wanted to murder her husband. Perhaps the Xizhou governor who was personally promoted by Xue Chang helped hide this in Xizhou. If she was taken into custody in Gyeonggi, the news would definitely be leaked!
For the sake of the reputation of the Xue family and to explain to the Li family, Xue Chang could only choose to let this daughter never come to Beijing!
Qiu Yilan felt that Xue Chang was really miserable: "Xue Nongying's health is still not well, and this Xue Fangmi..." Suddenly thought, "If Mr. Xue can't bear this blow and his health is not good, then what about the position of Prime Minister?" !”
Ling Zui said casually: "Of course it's your uncle and sixth uncle..."
At this point, he came to his senses and said, "That doesn't seem to be good for your family?" After Gu's execution, although Tang Zimo was able to save his life due to defection, he resigned and returned to his hometown. After the two brothers, the Duke of Qin and the Marquis of Jibei, gave in to the vacant deputy prime minister position for a while, it was the Duke of Qin who suppressed the Marquis of Jibei and gave up Jiang Tianqi, the eldest son of the Duke of Qin, in favor of Jiang Tian, the only son of the Marquis of Jibei.骖.
Jiang Tianyao and Jiang Tiancheng are currently the two people closest to the position of Prime Minister.
"It's nothing." Jiang Yashuang was calm, "Grandpa, whoever becomes the prime minister will ultimately be the one who decides! Besides, the fourth aunt, the queen mother, is not a decoration. Even if the uncle becomes the prime minister, it is absolutely impossible. Cover the sky with one hand!"
"But for Chunjun, having Prime Minister Xue in office is much better than having your uncle as prime minister!" Ling Zui frowned and glanced at Qiu Yilan, apologetically, "I didn't think of this before, so I seem to be doing you a disservice? "
At this point, he finally understood why Jiang Yashuang was not a kind person. Since he had arranged for someone to seduce Xue Fangmi, why not just put an end to the matter? The reason for co-writing is because Xue Chang is still useful - after all, given Xue Chang's city, if the daughter and son-in-law cannot live together and have to separate, although they will be sad and disappointed, they probably won't suffer any big irritation.
But if he personally ordered his daughter to be sent on the road... that would be hard to say!
"It doesn't matter!" Jiang Yashuang said calmly, "If you tell Xue Chang directly about this, he may not be able to bear it! But telling him in another way is different!"
Seeing his determined look, Ling Zui and Qiu Yilan asked curiously: "What other way?"
"For example, I sent someone to Xue's house yesterday to tell him!" Jiang Yashuang said with a relaxed face, "I framed what you did, Ling Zui, on Dafang. The reason is that Dafang wanted to use this matter to seize justice. The chancellor... is still using my banner, clearly trying to instigate a relationship between his brother and his teacher and student! Fortunately, you happened to pass by Xizhou when you came back, and stayed at Li Xuan's place for two days, and found clues, so you hurried day and night. Jian Cheng came back and told me—Xue Chang is too busy dealing with my uncle right now, so how can he have time to feel sorry for his concubine? "
"..." Qiu Yilan and Ling Zui looked at each other in confusion. After a while, Ling Zui sighed, "I thought I instigated the adulterer to persuade Mr. Xue to poison Li Xuan. Li Xuan was poisoned to the point of dying, so I rushed over with the doctor. , It’s cruel enough! I didn’t expect that the really cruel person is you!”
Jiang Yashuang didn't care about his comment and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this anymore. Let's talk about the details after farewell. We will all be thinking about you these days when you go to the south."
"I really don't have anything to say over there!" Ling Zui laughed at himself, "After being sent there, I just put up a name and just wandered around outside all day long... There was some trouble at the beginning of the year, otherwise I would have come back after I ascended the throne. ”
Qiu Yilan noticed that he looked a little embarrassed when he said "there was some trouble", so she guessed that he had incurred some romantic debt there, and it took him several months to resolve it - so she didn't ask him in detail, and only expressed concern for him. Tired of the journey.
Ling Zui was very happy: "I can't blame Chunjun for loving my sister. As expected, having a sister is so considerate! Yesterday when I came home, I met my sister. She picked me up from the second door and scolded me all the way to the back hall. My mother didn't even care about me. She is so fierce..."
These words made Qiu Yilan and his wife fall down laughing - you came all the way back, and you didn't see your parents or meet your brothers and sisters. Instead, you went to your friend's sister's house first, and then you remembered to go home after you were done. It would be weird if I didn’t beat you up!
After chatting and joking for a while, Qiu Yilan left Jiang Yashuang to entertain Ling Zui, and went to the small kitchen to set up a table of food and wine. Ling Zui finished eating and drinking, talked to them again, and then left: "My mother explained the situation. I'm going to the palace to see the Queen Mother, and I have to go back early to try on clothes."
After he left, Qiu Yilan asked her husband: "Does Prime Minister Xue really believe your words?" This prime minister is a smart man and not so easy to deceive.
"It's not whether you believe it or not, but whether you want to believe it or not." Jiang Yashuang said with a faint smile, "Now the Xue family has no right to fall out with our family. He believes what I said, and at least he has help from our room." "If he doesn't believe it, the uncle is already eyeing his position, and our family wants to eradicate it - what do you think a smart person like Xue Chang will choose?"
He added, "Besides, it was his daughter who made the mistake first and made the mistake again and again. Her death was not unjust at all! If he wants to blame, he can only blame why he didn't teach his daughter well earlier?!"
Qiu Yilan thought to herself that your family is the least qualified to say that others are unable to teach their daughters, okay? He said: "The eldest princess Maode wants to take the Ling family brother to visit the fourth aunt. I wonder if she wants to get an official position for the Ling family brother?"
Jiang Yashuang knew what she meant: "I'll ask around later. If this is really the case, I'll ask Fourth Aunt to arrange a good one for him."
After pondering for a moment, he said, "But he didn't come from a formal imperial examination, so I'm afraid his grade won't be high at the beginning."
"As long as you know it!" Qiu Yilan nodded, "Because of my brother's request, I came all the way back. My parents didn't even look at me and came to see me and Cousin Ruan first, so I have to repay you!"
Just as he said this, Qin Guogong sent someone to call his grandson to discuss matters. Qiu Yilan took advantage of the situation and called Su He to ask: "How are the two things I asked you to inquire about?"
"What the Fourteenth Young Madam said last time should be true. After the kings and concubines were settled last year, the Sixth Young Madam's natal family sent people to keep an eye on the neighborhood of the Lian family. They also asked the neighbors of the Lian family about Miss Wang Biao's identity. "The situation." Su He curled his lips, "This Shi family is really ridiculous! If your daughter can't get the attention of the royal family, why can't you see a princess from another family?"
Qiu Yilan also looked very unhappy. She thought for a moment and said, "Next time I go into the palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, please remind me! I want to talk to the Queen Mother about this!" King Wei hired Wang Qingqian as his wife. Concubine, although it was her biological mother who asked for the favor from the Queen Mother, it was the Queen Mother who agreed.
Now that the Shi family is resentful because of this, isn't it because they are dissatisfied with the Queen Mother
Shi's dignity in front of Empress Dowager Jiang was only average - this was caused by the third wife He.
At that time, the He family relied on their eldest daughter-in-law and was not very friendly to her step-mother-in-law, Mrs. Tao, and her step-sister-in-law, the Queen Mother Jiang. Especially when Empress Dowager Jiang's younger brother, the Seventh Master Jiang Tianjiao, passed away, He finally stopped worrying about his brother-in-law competing for her husband's resources when he grew up. Instead, he gloated at his funeral... It's strange that Empress Dowager Jiang liked their relationship!
If Qiu Yilan files this complaint, Empress Dowager Jiang will definitely not mind summoning He's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the palace to reprimand her!
Of course, doing so would be tantamount to breaking up in a semi-public manner, but Qiu Yilan didn't care: "Although we don't have as many pits in Sanfang as in Dafang, there are still quite a few. Why should I be afraid of offending them?"
Having made up his mind, he asked what he had just asked yesterday, "Have you asked why Ah Xing was late yesterday?"
"It is said that I met Mr. Ling Xiaohou on the road, stopped to talk, and Miss Ou went back crying!" Su He said, "Later, I changed my clothes and went out again. That's why I was late."
"When she met Ling Zui, why did she go back crying?" Qiu Yilan asked in surprise, "Shouldn't she beat Ling Zui until he went back crying?" Ling Zui was killed by this man because of his careless teasing of Ou Qinglan. The arrogant eldest lady was as close as anything, and when she saw Ou Qinglan from then on, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, running as far as he could, how could he make her cry
Su He said: "My maid is guessing, did the young Marquis tell Miss Ou about Shazhou...?"
"... Sigh!" Qiu Yilan said with a headache, "I'll ask Nineteen later!" It's time for a showdown. If we don't show it off, we will really harm Ou Qinglan!
As a result, she made up her mind to have a showdown with Ou Qinglan and let her die and marry Qiu Jinglan. The people sent the next day failed to invite Ou Qinglan, who usually arrived as soon as they were invited. Report like this: "Miss Ou said that she has lived in Beijing for the past two years and misses her parents very much. She plans to go to Northern Xinjiang to spend time with Uncle Jing and his wife this year. She has to pack her bags for the past two days and has no time to come. I would like to ask you, Madam. Forgive me!”
Qiu Yilan was surprised and emotional, thinking that Ling Zui probably heard about the content of the reply letter from Jiang Yashuang and told Ou Qinglan everything, so the girl was extremely sad and planned to go to her parents to heal her wounds.
Jiang Yashuang was a little sad when she heard about this when she came back, but she was also relieved: "It's better to be sad for a while than to be sad for the rest of my life!"
The couple just managed to resolve one of their worries. Unexpectedly, four or five days later, Ling Qu, the daughter of Princess Maode and sister of Ling Zui, came to visit with a solemn expression: "My younger brother has been away for three days and has not returned. Today I am alone." This servant has sent me this letter. I don’t know if it is true or not, but I would like to ask your office to check it out!”
Mrs. Tao's expression changed as soon as she took it. She sent someone to call Qiu Yilan to her front, and immediately asked: "Did you help come up with the idea about Zheng'er?! You're really out of your mind! That child has always been She has never traveled far since she was pampered, let alone how many days has she been born?"
Qiu Yilan was puzzled by the question: "Didn't Sister Eighteen go back to the princess's house to sort things out and prepare to move back with her nephew? Grandma, doesn't my granddaughter-in-law know what you said?"
