When Jiang Yashuang comforted his wife and asked Jiang Tan to go out to find out the news, the man who showed up to make a fuss with Wang Qingqian's personal belongings had been imprisoned by the Jingzhao Mansion, but the rumor that Princess Wei was having an affair with someone had spread throughout the world. The streets and alleys are gone.
The current Jingzhao Yin Yezhi, Julian, wiped his hands in cold sweat as soon as he was interrogated: "Miss Wang has never left the capital since she came to Beijing with her mother. Since these people who come to make trouble are outsiders, how can they have so many illicit affairs with Miss Wang?" Japanese and French? It's obviously a slander! But although the Lian family and the Wang family are not high, behind Miss Wang is the 19th young lady of the Jiang family, Princess Ningyi, who is still pregnant. It is said that even the Duke of Qin is taking care of her. Who else dares to offend Princess Ning Yi at this point besides the Jiang family!"
How dare he, a young Jingzhao, get involved in the Jiang family's internal strife
It’s just where the responsibility lies, so I can’t ignore it!
After thinking about it, he decided, "Lock them up first, and let them die without being punished... Let's wait for news from the Jiang family!" So he immediately covered his chest and pretended to be faint, and was carried back to the back office to pretend to be sick... Sure enough, before long, Jiang Tan came to the door with Jiang Yashuang's name card to inquire about the progress of the case.
I heard that Ye Zhiru was seriously ill. Jiang Tan had followed Jiang Yashuang for many years and was used to the official methods. How could he still not know why he was ill? Normally, he would show off to Ye Zhiru, but today Jiang Yashuang was waiting for the news, so he didn't cause much trouble. The master who came out to answer on Ye Zhiru's behalf cross-examined him, and ordered everyone to He was not allowed to see the prisoners, so he walked away!
Returning to the Duke's Mansion, he reported the matter and took eye drops: "Ye Zhiru has always been healthy and healthy, how could he become so ill? It's obvious that there is something wrong in his heart!"
Jiang Yashuang snorted: "Go back and beat this guy up! Otherwise, the outside world may think that our fourth house is useless without the army!" He also knew that Jiang Tan was complaining when he said this, and Ye Zhiru's original intention was probably to Don't blame him, otherwise he would have been beaten to death without any proof. However, this person actually dared not to see his confidant in person even after he was gone. He was so indifferent!
After spreading the word, isn't this contempt for the power of the fourth house in the court? Jiang Yashuang wants to scare the monkeys and warn the government and the public to be careful in everything they do in the future!
Jiang Tan agreed and reminded: "The rumors about the prospective Wei Princess... do they need to be refuted?"
"Of course I do." Jiang Yashuang said with a gloomy face, "But the top priority is to find out the instigator behind those people!" After a pause, "It must be the real instigator!"
Although Qiu Yilan was suspicious of the Shi family, Jiang Yashuang felt that the Shi family would not be so scornful - Qiu Yilan was pregnant, and Jiang Qizheng had just received the bad news. The relationship between the fourth and third bedrooms was unprecedentedly tense, and Qin Guogong and The Marquis of Jibei was busy trying to persuade the two families to make peace and it was too late. The Shi family would pop up to add fuel to the fire. Once found out, they would be shot to death by Qin Guogong in minutes!
He felt that Dafang was more suspicious: "Using the Shi family's name to slander the Wang family, let us mainly target the third house..."
However, this plan is too crude.
The people who came to Lian's house to cause trouble were all from out of town. Based on this alone, any fool would know that they were talking nonsense.
Does Dafang have such low opinion of the Shi family’s IQ? Or was this incident really the work of the Shi family, deliberately creating loopholes so that they could defend themselves after the incident happened and also frame Da Fang
After thinking about it, I feel that it is better to try it out myself, otherwise I will go round and round and wonder who will be used as the gunman
With this in mind, he went back and gave Qiu Yilan some instructions, then changed his clothes and went out to Jingzhao Mansion.
As soon as he left, Qiu Yilan, who had just promised that she would obediently have the baby at home, asked Su He to change into a dress for her to go out.
Su He asked in surprise: "Where are you going? Didn't Master tell you to stay at home and not worry about anything?"
"After such a thing happened, can I not go to the Lian family?" Qiu Yilan frowned and said, "Originally, the Lian family's lintel is not very high. Although it is a good thing that cousin Wang was promised to the King of Wei, it is also very risky. People are jealous - how many people are gloating about being slandered now! Although Shijiu personally went to find out the person behind the scenes, it will take some time. During this time, who knows what rumors will spread to the Lian family? Let’s go over there to calm their minds and prevent my cousin from thinking too hard.”
"But didn't you just promise the young master that you would just send your servant's grandmother away for a while?" Su He said quietly, "If the young master comes back and finds out that you are working like this, he will definitely be unhappy!"
"So let's go back quickly and get back before Nineteen comes back, so we don't let him know!" Qiu Yilan said disapprovingly as he was a master of Yang and Yin, "Besides, even if he is caught, can he still beat me?"
Su He secretly vomited a mouthful of blood: "Young master is reluctant to touch you, but he will teach the maids some rules!"
"I'm watching, and I won't do anything to you!" Qiu Yiluo urged, "Go, go! Don't waste time!"
Unable to defeat her, Su He had to change her clothes and call for horses and carriages.
When they arrived at the Lian Mansion, they sent Zhou's mother out, and saw Qiu Yilan arriving in person. She was surprised and expectant, only to know that there was progress in the case, and hurriedly welcomed her in.
Of course, Zhou's mother couldn't leave. She pinched Su He hard when she entered the door among the crowd, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "What kind of incredible news does the young lady have to come in person? Your legs are all broken?!" "
Su He said aggrievedly: "There is no news, the young lady insists on coming!"
At this time, Qiu Yilan had been welcomed to the hall and sat down. Wang Qingqian and Wang Lian were nowhere to be seen. Knowing that mother and daughter were probably comforting each other in the boudoir, she bluntly stated the purpose of her visit to Lian Jianhai and his wife: "Nineteen will go in person." I have to explain this matter to my cousin... I have nothing else to do here. I just thought that my cousin is young and I am afraid that she will not be able to bear such slander when she first encounters it, so I came here to persuade her. "
Lian Jianhai and his wife were a little disappointed when they heard that the case had not yet come to a conclusion, but it was a good thing to see Qiu Yilan caring so much about Wang Qingqian—this meant that Qiu Yilan still valued their relatives, right
After a few words of greeting, Lian Jianhai and his wife sent Qiu Yilan to the small downstairs where Wang Qingqian lived. Originally, the Lian family loved their niece, but Wang Qingqian was promised to Queen Wei, and her residence was expanded and renovated. After some repairs, this small building now looks quite dignified.
The news of Qiu Yilan's arrival had already spread. Wang Lian came out and opened the door for her in person. Lian Jianhai and his wife took the opportunity to leave: "Since Yilan wants to talk to Qian'er, we won't go in."
Wang Lianshi pulled Qiu Yilan's hand with red eyes: "I've caused trouble for you!"
"What did my aunt say? It's because we didn't take good care of her that my cousin was wronged!" Qiu Yilan calmed her down for a few words. The two of them walked in a few steps, and Wang Qingqian stepped out from behind the screen and saluted: "I I don’t dare to see my uncle and aunt now, I’m afraid I’ll make them sad by neglecting my cousin!”
How could Qiu Yilan care about this with her? He hurriedly pulled her up: "Just be nice and don't worry about these false etiquette!"
She originally thought that her cousin had encountered such a change, and she didn't know how she would be affected - especially from the Lian Jianhai couple to the Wang Lian family, which of the three elders would not be like a widower
But after a closer look, Wang Qingqian didn't look desperate even though she was crying with jealousy. She couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I thought it was a good thing that my cousin was not a sentimental person.
Next, she comforted Wang Qingqian. Seeing that she really didn't force a smile, she tentatively asked what happened.
Wang Qingqian said cheerfully: "I actually blame myself for this matter. I saw that my maid Shizhu was smart and capable, so I entrusted her with everything. I was also a careless person. She quietly took a lot of things out, but what did I do? I didn’t even know! I didn’t know until my maid, Mo Zhu, shouted out that the thing inside was indeed mine!”
Wang Lian added from the side: "Both Dianthus and Mozhu have been picked up together. Now they are being held in the woodshed, guarded by several old servants at home." The reason why they were not handed over to Jingzhao was obviously out of fear. Being silenced left Wang Qingqian speechless.
"Then we can send it to Jingzhao now!" Qiu Yilan nodded, thought for a while and then asked, "I suspect that this matter has something to do with my husband's sixth sister-in-law, but I don't know if you have any enemies here. Do this?"
Calm down and think about it, Sanfang does not seem so unwise.
The mother and daughter of the Wang family looked at each other and shook their heads: "I really can't think of anyone who would do this."
Wang Lianshi added: "Whether Qian'er or others, I can't say they treated Shi Zhu and Mo Zhu very well, but they were still generous."
"Now that everyone has been caught, we don't have to worry about not being able to find out!" Qiu Yilan thought for a while and said, "Aunt and cousin must not be fooled by those rumors, otherwise they will just follow the wishes of those villains!"
Then she said some words of comfort, and seeing that it was getting late, she left.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, he entered the courtyard gate and saw Jiang Yashuang standing inside the door with his hands behind his hands, expressionless.
Qiu Yilan didn't expect him to come back so early and secretly screamed that something was wrong. She quickly walked over to him with a smile: "Nineteenth, are you waiting for me?"
"It's still cold today, who asked you to go out?" Jiang Yashuang asked angrily, "How did you promise me before I left?"
"... I have no fun staying at home for a long time, and I'm worried about my cousin..." Qiu Yilan knew she was in the wrong, so she held his arm and acted coquettishly, "Besides, I'm back, right?"
Seeing that Jiang Yashuang wanted to scold her, she rolled her eyes and said, "I'm thirsty!"
"..." Jiang Yashuang knew that she was changing the subject, but he felt sorry for her anyway and turned around bitterly, "I asked the small kitchen to stew rock sugar bird's nest. This should be just right!"
After returning to the house, the bird's nest was served. Qiu Yilan saw that Jiang Yashuang still had a cold face, so she dismissed the servants and asked him to feed her. After such entanglement, Jiang Yashuang calmed down and scratched the tip of her nose. He shouted: "Do you dare next time?"
next time? Let’s talk about it next time!
Qiu Yilan murmured in her heart, but on her face she promised solemnly: "I will be obedient next time!"
Jiang Yashuang hummed: "It would be great if it was like this!" He finally understood Qiu Jinglan's past mood!
"How's it going in Jingzhao? Who is harming Cousin Wang?" Once Qiu Yilan saw that she had passed the test, she didn't bother to keep trying. She pushed her husband's arm and asked, "You came back so early and you figured it all out? Come on, tell me quickly. explain!"
