The death of An Zhenshang's confidant maid did not cause any turmoil in the Jiang family - An Zhenshang herself was nothing more than a concubine to the Jiang family.
"It's strange to be able to win over the Eighth Brother for so many years!" However, when He Shuijin was delivering things to each room, Qiu Yilan stayed to drink some hot tea, so he still mentioned a few words, "This decisiveness is really what we admire. I couldn't catch up! When Wan'er disappeared, I cried for several days! Even if we were servants, we all grew up together, let alone the maid who didn't confess her until her death, even though she was the one who mentioned her. The parents are a threat, but the ants are still greedy for life. How can the maid seek death on her own without any sincerity? "
Qiu Yilan said lightly: "Grandma is seeing it! Let's see what happens to her in the future!"
Not to mention Mrs. Tao who already hated An Zhenshang, even Duke Qin might be tired of her now, right? After all, a person who can abandon his confidant for many years at will shows how big his heart is! However, she still has a low status. Can anything happen if she is kept
It is estimated that Mrs. Tao has reached an agreement with Qin Guogong to leave the mother and keep the son.
He Shuijin also understood the meaning of her words, and said with a faint smile: "That's right - if you do many unjust things, you will end up like this!"
The matter passed after just a few words. He Shuijin was more interested in recent events in the palace: "Ni Jin, the eldest maid in front of the Queen, was accused of being a concubine to King Qi. I remember that she and you are very close." If it’s good, I might as well say congratulations to you!”
"Yes, there is such good news in the palace at the end of the year. I was just about to pack some things and send them to the Feng family!" Qiu Yilan smiled slightly, thinking that after all, she was talking to a sister of the same generation as Empress Dowager Jiang. Sure enough, it was more effective than the younger generation - the fifth aunt only took Xin Fubing into the palace once, then sent a message to say that it was done, and was just waiting for the right opportunity to announce it.
Didn't Yizhi come down yesterday
Because Nijin's status as a palace maid was difficult to achieve, Empress Dowager Jiang asked her to become her adoptive father by Feng Rugui, her predecessor Jingzhao and now Guozi Jijiu. This Feng Rugui is a bigot, and his integrity can be imagined. Naturally, he welcomes having such a daughter, so the ceremony to worship his adoptive father was made very grand, just like ordinary people marrying their daughters.
Everyone probably still remembers that the former Guozi Jijiu's surname was Dou, and he was the direct brother of the eldest lady Dou.
So Qiu Yilan's heart moved after she said something with a smile, and she looked at He Shuijin: "My sister-in-law is in charge of everything and is the most well-informed. I wonder if auntie... are you okay these days?"
"I woke up this morning complaining of a headache. I heard that I will have to lie down for a few more days!" He Shuijin narrowed his eyes, "I feel sorry for Sister-in-law Eleven! It is said that the eldest aunt is in a bad mood nine out of ten days now, and then she is in a bad mood for nine days out of ten. Eleventh sister-in-law is the one who picked her for another eight days! If Eleventh sister-in-law hadn’t been so proud and refused to tell the family, the dealer would have come to talk to the eldest aunt!”
Qiu Yilan frowned and looked outside. Su He understood and went over to guard her: "Speaking of Sister-in-law Eleven, I was really surprised - I heard that there was a conflict between our mother and my eldest aunt earlier. How come Eleven My sister-in-law still married into a big family? "
Mrs. Zhuang, please don’t let Dou’s face fall too hard! Her niece actually married the bastard of the eldest family. Isn't this looking for abuse
He Shuijin put down his tea bowl and whispered: "It's a long story. It's said that the banker originally wanted to give Sister Eleven to Bage, but my grandmother made the decision and settled on Sister Eight for Bage. Brother Eleven has more than Sister Eleven. We met a few times and often joked, so the banker settled for the next best thing!”
The co-author still wants to continue his marriage with the Jiang family and get into trouble!
Qiu Yilan shook her head: "I'll send someone to tell Zhuang Man later. Just be patient and don't damage your body!"
He Shuijin also meant the same thing. Now the cooperation between Sanfang and Dafang has broken down, and they have returned to a mutually antagonistic relationship. By doing this, she not only made a good sale to Xiaozhuang and even the banker, but also caused trouble for the big house. Moreover, passing the news through Qiu Yilan was equivalent to giving Qiu Yilan an opportunity to sell her favors. It can be said that she killed three birds with one stone. Eagle!
So he said happily: "I'm worried too! Sister-in-law Eleven is really not looking very good these days."
The goal had been achieved, she chatted for a while and then left.
Naturally, Qiu Yilan immediately sent someone to inform the banker of Xiao Zhuang's situation. The banker was very angry when he received the news. However, Zhuang Man's suggestion of going directly to Jiang's house to cause trouble was rejected by Zhuang Mo without hesitation. He said: "If your aunt is in Beijing, she can just go to the big house to make trouble. After all, she is already the wife of the Jiang family. No matter how much trouble she makes, the Jiang family will still be there to pinch her! In our family, although we are in-laws, we are still outsiders! Do you really think that Duke Qin had a good temper when he tolerated your aunt? Besides, your sister already has a biological child, and the situation is not going to end well. What will she do in the future? The child belongs to the Jiang family. How can you still let your sister? Take him away? If not, let your brother-in-law marry a step-brother and abuse him?"
Zhuang Man's fierce momentum was mostly extinguished by reality, and he said listlessly: "What about watching my sister suffer?"
"Don't you have a good relationship with that kid from the Xin family?" Of course, Zhuang Mo couldn't just sit back and watch his own flesh and blood being bullied. After thinking for a while, he said to his youngest daughter, "The fifth aunt of the Jiang family is back, and now she can speak well in front of the Queen Mother. ... Please ask that kid from the Xin family to arrange a job for your brother-in-law to stay away from that evil woman Dou!"
"This is too tolerant!" Zhuang Man's temper was very much like Mrs. Zhuang's, and she couldn't bear to suffer. She said angrily, "And when the brother-in-law is released, what will happen if Mrs. Dou forces her sister to stay and serve her? !”
Zhuang Mo had a gloomy face: "I will try to force her to let your sister go with her!"
"...I'll go out right away!" Zhuang Man promised, but before leaving the house, she first went to find Qiu Yilan - intending to ask her cousin to give her a good idea to vent her anger on her sister - but the trip did not go well. After arriving at Jiang's house, he was surprised and was told that Qiu Yilan had gone to the palace today to pay his respects to the Queen Mother!
Zhuang Man had no choice but to talk to Xin Fubing first.
At this time, Qiu Yilan, who didn't know that Zhuang Man was looking for her, was in Ganquan Palace, but she was not talking to Empress Dowager Jiang. Instead, she was playing chess with Princess Yongfu in the side hall.
Neither of them were very good at chess, but they were equally matched.
"It's more fun to play chess with my cousin. Playing chess with my 19th cousin was the most boring thing in the past. Three times, five and two would kill me to death!" Princess Yongfu said while making moves, "The most annoying thing is me. I can’t even beat him! I can’t even beat him to vent my anger!”
Qiu Yilan burst into laughter when she heard this: "Really? Is he so bad? I'll help you beat him when you go back!" In fact, she knew why Jiang Yashuang didn't give in to Yongfu at all - Jiang Yashuang was so nervous about her homework at that time. Yongfu's chess skills were so bad that Jiang Yashuang couldn't find any sense of learning from her when playing chess with her. It was a waste of time. In order to prevent her cousin from getting entangled, he simply killed her until she was defeated and lost interest. She stopped playing with him.
Therefore, this husband was not so well-behaved earlier. Unfortunately, I thought he was stupid and easy to deceive!
She was so distracted that she could only hear half of Princess Yongfu's words: "... I don't know who I'll turn to in the future!"
"I'll come in and play with you when I have time in the future!" Qiu Yilan thought about it for a while, thinking that what she didn't hear was that Princess Yongfu was lamenting that she couldn't find a suitable chess player to play against, so she comforted her casually.
Princess Yongfu said: "You have to accompany your 19th cousin and deal with some trivial matters in your own courtyard. How can you come to the palace to play chess with me every day? Niguang is the queen's maid, she can be there as soon as I call her , It's a pity..." The eldest princess shook her head.
Qiu Yilan squinted her eyes: Did something happen to Ni Guang? Nijin's original promise was really not a lie to herself.
Probably because of the happy event of Ni Jin in the palace, the news of Ni Guang's accident was suppressed and did not spread. If Princess Yongfu hadn't mentioned it now, Qiu Yilan was about to go back and find someone to quietly ask Ni Jin if she wanted to. The promise has been fulfilled!
Of course, it's also possible that the Ni Jin incident is being spread out now just to cover up the Ni Guang incident.
Qiu Yilan lost a piece and asked casually, "What's wrong with Ni Guang? I was just thinking about the chess strategy and didn't pay attention."
"I was careless in the winter. I was thirsty in the middle of the night. I was too lazy to go outside to get hot water and drank cold water, which led to intestinal diseases!" Yongfu sighed. "After dawn, the imperial doctor arrived and he had only one breath left... and it was just gone." Ni No matter how honorable she was in front of Empress Dowager Jiang, she was just a palace servant. There was no rule in the palace about unlocking the door for a palace maid in the middle of the night and calling the imperial doctor. Acute intestinal disease was the last thing to be delayed, so her death was regrettable, but no one doubted it. .
"This is really surprising!" Qiu Yilan knew that Nijin and Niguang lived in the same house, but because Nijin was familiar with her, Niguang wanted to poach her, and the relationship between the two palace ladies was not very good. harmony. So Niguang would not be careful about Nijin, and I don’t know how Nijin caused Niguang’s death to cause intestinal disease? In particular, Niguang is the adopted daughter of Miss Lin, who has managed the Sixth Palace on behalf of Empress Jiang for many years, and is very shrewd!
But this is not the point. As long as the neon light is gone, how did Guan Nijin do it? For a concubine who was insignificant to her, Jiang Tianhe was the one who contributed the most. It was always a good thing to get rid of someone who coveted her husband.
She played chess with Princess Yongfu all afternoon, and then left the palace in the evening.
Back in the yard, I heard the news that Zhuang Man was here, and I guessed a lot about her purpose. I couldn't help but act coquettishly to Jiang Yashuang: "It must be for Sister Eleven, but I can't do anything about this matter. I can't run away." Would you like to go to the big room and beat the eldest aunt for the Eleventh Sister? That would be fun, but even if I am not afraid, how will the Eleventh Sister behave in the future? The Eleventh Sister is our cousin, and Man'er is our cousin. It’s impossible to ignore it—give us an idea quickly!”
Jiang Yashuang hummed, "You don't have to go to the main house to find your aunt. Although the Dou family has temporarily left the church, they haven't left the church yet. Tomorrow I will go ask the chief of the church for someone to ask. Let's see my aunt." How dare you take it out on Sister-in-law Eleven!"
... The Dou family had previously protected the big house from disaster, and the female relatives were in bad luck. Not only were they sent to the classroom, but they were also tricked to death by the Queen Mother's party. Later, the Queen Mother's party fell, and Mrs. Dou cried and begged, and finally took these people to another hospital to rest.
However, the low status has not been removed for a while. After all, the Dou family's previous crimes were too serious. In fact, this was just an excuse to coax the Dou family. The real reason was that the Jiang family did not want the Qiu Yilan brothers and sisters to account for the excavation of General Ruan's grave. He plans to continue to use the Dou family as a scapegoat, so of course he can't be too nice to them...
Now that he has been deprived of his citizenship, if Qiu Jinglan comes back to investigate, will he never join the Jiaofang again? Isn't this equivalent to slapping the Jiang family in the face too! How could the Duke of Qin do such a thing!
It is better to let the Dou family take the people out and place them first, and still keep their humble status. When Qiu Jinglan asks about it, he can then hand the people over to him to do whatever he wants! At that time, we will only deal with a few lowly people, which is no big deal!
Now these people are living in her dowry yard for recuperation under Dou's arrangement... Jiang Yashuang doesn't intend to really force them to return to the Jiaofang. She can just scare Dou so that she doesn't dare to vent her anger on Xiaozhuang.
Qiu Yilan was very satisfied when she heard that there was still such a lever that could be used: "This should make Man'er happy."
Just as he said this, Chunran came in with a solemn expression and reported: "News has come from Kui County, saying that Mrs. Han is seriously ill..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yashuang stood up suddenly and asked in a deep voice: "Seriously?"
"The news from the old lady!" Chun Ran replied immediately.
"How sick are you? Is it serious or not? What are you going to do now in the big house?" Qiu Yilan suddenly woke up after being startled, and then asked repeatedly - Mrs. Han is the step-wife of Jiang Qianshan, a man from Kui County. , that is, Jiang Tianao’s stepmother!
