A stepmother is also a mother. If there is something wrong with Mrs. Han, Ding You and Jiang Tianao will not be able to escape in the whole room for three years!
Although it is actually said that it only needs to be defended for twenty-seven months, but the current situation let alone twenty-seven months, maybe after seven months, the Zhenxi Army will have nothing to do with the big house! Not only the Zhenxi Army, but also how much territory Chaoshang can leave for Jiang Tianao and his son is a question!
So after the news from Kui County was sent, the whole house was gloomy and no one was worried.
The stark contrast is of course the three-bedroom apartment - this is simply a surprise! I was about to fight for my life with Dafang, but Dafang was about to be automatically eliminated! Jiang Tianqi was so happy that he didn't know how to celebrate
However, the fourth-bedroom apartment is not as optimistic as the third-bedroom apartment.
"My great-aunt was born as a peasant woman and has always been in good health. She is younger than my great-uncle in terms of age. Even if she gets sick, it may not be serious." Jiang Yashuang went to Qin Guogong's study and came back and told his wife, "Even if it is true, No, after removing the big house, there are still three houses in the Zhenxi Army, so you must not show your joy! Otherwise, you will be sued to my grandfather and cause trouble!"
Qiu Yilan rolled her eyes at him: "Do you think I'm stupid?" The current state of Dafang is the most terrifying, okay? He wanted to return to his hometown, but Ding You could no longer fight for power, so he simply dragged others into the water. Didn't the Dou family, the He family, and the others have learned enough when they offended Mrs. Tao and the Empress Dowager Jiang
Jiang Yashuang pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, I have some guesses about my great-aunt falling ill this time, but I don't know whether it is true or not..."
The voice lowered, "If this is true, it will be a trouble for us!"
"Um?"
"My great-aunt today is my great-uncle's second wife. You know this." Jiang Yashuang frowned and said, "Now that you have entered the door, we can talk about some things in private: Mrs. Lin, my great-uncle's first wife in the early years. Not long after our eldest aunt was born, my great-uncle married my great-aunt to take care of them, but it is said that this great-uncle was not very good to them... "
"This great-aunt is very kind to her biological second aunt, second uncle, and fifth uncle. At first, my great-uncle did not allow his second uncle and fifth uncle to become officials, not only because he did not want to trouble my grandfather and younger uncle too much, but also to appease the eldest uncle and the eldest uncle. Auntie. And there was an inside story behind the second aunt’s marriage to the Dou family: after my uncle married the eldest aunt from the Dou family, the second aunt’s marriage to the Dou family was a marriage exchange. At that time, although our family was not as prominent as it is now, we didn’t want to Do this.”
"It's just that when the eldest uncle got married, now the great aunt saw that the Dou family was rich - compared to the Jiang family at that time, so she tried to make the Dou family have to marry the second aunt. As a result, something happened to the Dou family before, because the Gu family had not yet Fu Zhu, my grandfather is protecting my uncle. Abandoning the Dou family is equivalent to abandoning the second aunt and her children... Isn’t it urgent that my aunt has not been completely rescued yet? "
The corner of Qiu Yilan's mouth twitched: "The Duke of Qin was so kind to Jiang Tian'ao, but this nephew refused to let him worry about anything. Instead, he relied on his love and petting to quarrel with Duke Qin's sons all day long! What's more, Mrs. Han didn't treat him well?! Mrs. Han is still alive today. It seems that either she has a few brushes or she is being protected by the Kui County man! "
Of course, it was not easy to say this to Jiang Yashuang, so he only said: "I said that after the Dou family's accident, the eldest uncle felt sorry for the men in the Dou family who could do things for him, but he ignored the female relatives. It's better for the eldest aunt to go to the hospital." Heart—so there is such a thing?”
Jiang Yashuang sighed: "So I guess my great-aunt may not be really ill this time. I'm afraid it's because of my second aunt and her children!"
"Then what happened on my grandfather's grave?!" Qiu Yilan's face darkened when she heard this - to be honest, she was feeling helpless at the moment. The Empress Dowager Ye sent people to dig General Ruan's grave, so she They know better than the Jiang family! But the truth must not be told, so we can only believe what Jiang Yashuang said that the grave was dug by the Dou family.
Now that the "digger of her grandfather's grave" is going to be let go, how can she, a direct granddaughter, not show the proper attitude
"Grandfather should not pay attention to this matter. At best, he will send someone to Kui County to explain it to his uncle!" Jiang Yashuang shook his head upon hearing this, "Although my aunt is my grandfather's sister-in-law, and my aunt is my grandfather's sister-in-law, But in my grandfather’s opinion, my aunt’s words carry more weight than my great-aunt’s words!”
This is not just because Mrs. Han is a step-mother, but also because she was born as a peasant woman. She is far less impressive than Mrs. Ou, the wife of the Marquis of Jibei, who is not as impressive as a man.
The biggest reason was that she was not good to the young Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianyuan back then, and Qin Guogong, a man who valued the distinction between direct descendants and concubines, was definitely not someone who would become a stepfather after having a second wife - this has been the case since Mrs. Tao came into the house so many years ago. The biological daughter was first the empress and now she is the queen mother. She still treats the third and fourth wives mainly by coaxing her. It can be seen that she does not dare to offend easily - it is strange that she can look up to such a step-sister!
Qiu Yilan thought for a while and asked puzzledly: "Then what trouble will we have? Are you afraid that the big house will come directly to talk about this? What if I don't agree?"
Without Qin Guogong's intervention, Qiu Yilan couldn't think of anything that Dafang had to worry about.
"My great-aunt is just complaining of illness now, and the eldest brother probably won't all go back. I'll probably send my eldest brother or eleventh brother back to visit." Jiang Yashuang said calmly, "But as long as the second aunt and her children don't get out of trouble for one day, I guess my uncle will go back." Grandma refuses to get up - she is my uncle's stepmother after all. She has been lying down for three to five months. It's really unreasonable for my uncle not to go back to take care of me! Do you think I can't compromise?"
Mrs. Han is now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. She has all her biological children and grandchildren around her, and it doesn't matter whether she is serving the sick or Ding You. She doesn't have the dignity to ask Qin Guogong to give in, so she will force Jiang Tianao! If Jiang Tianao dares to disobey, she will lie down forever!
... You don't need to think about it to know that in the end of this stalemate, Jiang Tianao will definitely give in.
Then he said, "The Dou family is at fault in this matter, and my grandfather will not come out to speak. Of course, my eldest uncle knows that it is impossible to achieve his goal just by talking to you and your brother. He wants to explain to his great-aunt, and There is only one way for you to compromise with your brother!"
"Overturn the case and re-investigate the Dou family's collaboration with the enemy and disturbing Grandfather Ruan!"
"Of course, we know that we have disturbed Grandfather Ruan, and there is no way he can do anything about it." Jiang Yashuang sighed, "But the Dou family's collaboration with the enemy... you also know that it was actually me who did it."
Qiu Yilan thought to herself: "The one who disturbed my grandfather... you don't know, it was actually me..."
"Uncle may not be sure it's me, but in order to make you compromise with your brother, he will probably try to target our room!"
I knew that Queen Mother Ye’s move would have endless consequences!
Qiu Yilan asked weakly: "What should we do now?"
"I won't admit it anyway." Jiang Yashuang couldn't think of any solution for a while - the main house hasn't made any move yet! At the beginning, he tried his best to deal with the aftermath, but now he can only wait and see what Dafang will do, and then deal with it. He said helplessly, "I'm just afraid that Dafang will do this, so I'd like to remind you, so as not to be caught off guard! "
"Okay!" Qiu Yilan couldn't think of a better way, so she could only be more vigilant.
In the end, the secret discussion between the couple was simply unnecessary!
Because while Jiang Tianyao sent his eldest son Jiang Yayun and eldest grandson Jiang Jingxu back to his hometown to visit his step-grandmother on behalf of his couple, he also began to prepare for what would happen - what if Mrs. Han was not pretending this time and she really was not able to survive
After all, if she makes a mistake, Jiang Tianao will face the danger of ending his political life. Of course, he cannot be as sure as Jiang Yashuang that Mrs. Han is faking it. After all, for people like Jiang Yashuang, it's great that Mrs. Han is not pretending. She doesn't have to do anything, just sit back and wait for the good news!
President Jiang Tian'ao also had to consider how he could keep a backup plan in case he really wanted Ding You to ensure that after his mother's death, he would still have his own position and power in the court and the army.
The fourth room was very lucky this time, because after careful consideration, Jiang Tianao decided that the opponent to be eradicated first was the third room!
The reason is very simple. Qin Guogong supports Dafang and Sanfang to divide the Zhenxi Army, but does not support Sifang.
"It's just my father. Qiu Jinglan hasn't returned to Beijing yet, and the Fourth Fang even sent Ou Qinglan there!" Jiang Yayun, the eldest son who was about to leave, frowned and reminded, "After my little aunt came forward, my grandfather didn't say anything about the Fourth Fang. If we suppress the Third Fang now, what if step-grandmother takes it seriously... and the Fourth Fang takes the opportunity to overwhelm the Third Fang and dominate the Western Army? "
Jiang Tianao shook his head and said: "This is impossible! Although Qiu Jinglan is the brother-in-law of Shijiu, his surname is not Jiang after all! Your second uncle knows better and will not let him really control the Zhenxi Army!" After a pause, "I But I'm afraid that with the support of your second uncle, Qiu Jinglan, who is young and not a match for the Fourth House alone, will be able to completely win over the Zhenxi Army. Therefore, we must attack the Third House! The fourth house can’t hold us back!”
Jiang Yayun still felt that this was not safe, so he thought for a while and said: "Anyway, the second brother is already on the way to Shazhou. It's better not to tell the second brother now. When the second brother arrives in Shazhou, if the stepmother It’s really bad. While I’m sending someone to tell my second brother..."
The voice lowered, "Let him pretend to be sick? My grandfather, second uncle, and younger uncle feel sorry for him and will definitely tell him not to leave easily! In this case, even if it is inconvenient to go out and about while recuperating, it is always good for someone to stay there."
Jiang Tianao sighed: "You are so confused! You can get sick in one month or two months, but how can you get sick in two or three years?! And what is he trying to gain? Military power! Or my first-class elite from Darui! Those He is a arrogant and strong man who obeys the force of force. If your second brother really follows this method, he will not have to be ill for three or two years, but for a few months, and the third brother will be able to gain a reputation of being "weak and weak"! Will an elite army accept a weak commander?"
Then he sneered, "Besides, after being ill for three or two years and then recovering after being filial, you think everyone else is a fool!"
Jiangyayun's face was red and her ears were red.
"You and Xu'er should go to Kui County to see the situation first!" After all, he is the eldest son. Jiang Tian'ao couldn't bear to lose face to him. When he saw this, he changed his tone and said warmly, "Your step-grandmother is not a good thing. You should go carefully here." Please, your second uncle and fifth uncle, please spend more time with your grandfather - you are the eldest grandson, and the one your grandfather values most among his grandchildren is you! This is why I sent you there, if that Han is pretending to be ill. Hey, just go to your grandfather and cry and complain... Don't be afraid of embarrassment, learn from this point 19. You should be dignified in front of others, but when others entangle your second uncle in the back, the children's coquettishness is also skillful, even How can someone as smart as your second uncle fall for this, let alone your own grandfather who is the most honest and kind person?”
After sending away his eldest son, Jiang Tian Ao didn't even have time to take a sip of water, and hurriedly summoned his staff to start urgent discussions on how to shift the responsibility for the downfall of the Dou family to the third room
