Mrs. Tao's thorough investigation into Jin's death lasted less than half a day.
Because after half a day, Jiang Yawan came to his senses and brought his son Jiang Jingman over to kowtow and apologize. Based on Jiang Yawan’s previous behavior, Mrs. Tao would not let them pass easily, but the Kui County man A member of this group, born with natural talents and special skills, "I'll tell Duke Qin to go", the old lady had no choice but to give up.
"You heartless beast!" It can be imagined that Mrs. Tao must be in a bad mood. After Jiang Yawan and his son left, she even dragged Mother Hu and scolded Wufang, "Jin has been in the family for decades, and he has no merit. It’s hard work! It’s already pitiful that Jing Zhan and Xiao Jin are gone, but now he has to harm her because of such a dirty thing! Let’s see how he will be punished in the future for his evil deeds!”
Mother Hu advised: "Why do you have to argue with him? Do you think he is not only ruthless to his first wife, but also doesn't cherish his only male heir, the Thirteenth Grandson? Last time, Aunt Yue sent the Thirteenth Grandson back to her hometown. Oh! How can Aunt Yue be able to settle down after spending so many years in the sex industry? I’m afraid she is the only one who knows why she didn’t get pregnant last time! Believe her! This kind of person will do something disgraceful at some point! Yi Laonu, look at it, this fifth young master will die alone sooner or later!"
The old lady's master and servants were very angry here. Qiu Yilan and his wife were also talking about Jiang Yawan's family: "I just said that I wanted to tell the fifth sister-in-law about Jingman, but in the end I went like this! What happened here is really Suddenly, Jinghu Lake is the most famous tourist place in Beijing. There are cruise ships on the lake all year round. Even if the boatman is not strong enough, why don't you call for help? "
Jiang Yashuang's face looked a little strange, and she thought for a while before saying, "The fifth sister-in-law is also from Kui County."
"Um?"
"I once heard my grandfather say that Kui County is adjacent to Dachuan, and most of the men and women in the county know how to drink water."
Qiu Yilan's face changed color and she said: "No wonder Fifth Brother's expression turned strange when he heard the news - Fifth Brother himself was born and raised in Kui County, how could he not know what you already know?! Even though Fifth Sister-in-law is one of the big families in the county It’s not convenient for her to play in the water, but her entourage was brought from Kui County. One or two of the four people should be able to swim, right? Even if the boatman didn’t rescue her in time, these people should have rescued her in time! Four people are gone together with the fifth sister-in-law!"
If Jiang Yawan was really plotting to get his wife, no matter what method of accidental death he chose, it was impossible to choose drowning? Now Jin is drowned, which is equivalent to saying that she was murdered!
"We can think of these doubts, and Fifth Brother must also know about them. But he didn't say anything!"
Qiu Yilan looked at her husband and said, "When I was at my grandmother's place just now, I thought that Jing Zhan's death was not without doubts. Since he had done a lot of flirting with women, it shows that he was used to being romantic. As for being impatient to wait... Why don't the servants investigate the sudden woman before letting her take care of her? First Jingzhan and then Fifth Sister-in-law. Fifth Brother has lost both his son and his wife. Besides, Penglaiyue had a miscarriage before, which led to his divorce from Jingman. Heart—how could all the bad things happen to him alone?”
"Do you doubt Dafang?" Jiang Yashuang pondered, "It's really strange that the second and fifth rooms came to Beijing together with the first room. However, judging from the behavior of the second and fifth rooms when they came to the capital, they didn't seem to be interested in becoming officials. I really don’t know why Dafang called them here!”
"Our eldest uncle has always been resentful of how my great-aunt treated him badly back then, and he will definitely not show kindness to the second and fifth families for nothing." Qiu Yilan said, "So I brought the second and fifth families to the capital. Eight or nine are good for Dafang. But as you said, at first I thought they came here to seek official status, but now they look like they are here specifically to enjoy themselves. Dafang just invites them here. Why don't you spend some of our government's money to be bored like this?"
"When you said this, I remembered: Although the second and fifth houses did not seek official positions and were just eating, drinking and having fun, they did not do anything for the first house." Jiang Yashuang suddenly said, "The third house and the first house formed an alliance before. , and our room is hostile. But because the eldest brother brought the second room and the fifth room to Beijing, the news came, and the third room, our fourth room, and the eighth room were already the same enemy!"
Qiu Yilan was stunned and said in surprise: "Do you suspect... that Sanfang is not sincerely joining forces with us?!"
"The third room and our room have a murderous feud. Although there is no evidence, you also know that the eldest room and the third room have always thought so." Jiang Yashuang said softly, "How could they sincerely agree with us? Join forces? There was a reason for handing over the list to Fourth Gu before and discussing the reduction with us last year!"
At this point, his face turned gloomy, "It's precisely because there is a reason for everything, so we won't doubt it!"
The relationship between the eldest, third and fourth families of the Jiang family has been changing: during the dispute between the second queen, Jiang Tianao always had the upper hand based on his background, while the third and fourth families fought together; before and after the fall of the Gu family, The first house and the third house could not be satisfied with the harvest in the court, and turned their attention to military power, so the fourth house became their common enemy.
Later, the tragedy in Shazhou and the deaths of Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing made this conflict so acute that it almost broke out!
Under this circumstance, even if the real culprit of the Shazhou tragedy has never been confirmed, the fourth house will not easily believe the change of the third house's position.
Because they also share the same revenge for killing their children, the third bedroom is different from the first bedroom.
Of Dafang's three sons, the most valued Jiang Yayun is still there. Although the youngest son Jiang Yahong is low-key, he is also talented. Therefore, although Jiang Yayue's death made Jiang Tian'ao extremely heartbroken, he still had two sons he could count on.
But the misfortune was for the third bedroom - Jiang Yaqing, the sixth son, was Jiang Tianqi's most outstanding son, and could also be said to be the only outstanding son.
Under him, the Seventh Young Master Jiang Yayi and the Fourteenth Young Master Jiang Yaheng can be said to be masters waiting to die, with very limited abilities.
What makes Jiang Tianqi most desperate is that Jiang Yaqing's eldest son Jiang Jingzhuo, the eldest grandson he most expected among his grandchildren, committed suicide a few years ago!
Although he has other grandchildren, they are either mediocre in qualifications or too young to be promising at all.
In other words, Jiang Tianqi is currently in a state of having no successor - it is strange that he can still be reconciled to the fourth house after falling to this point!
"But even if we had an agreement before for the second and fifth rooms to go to Beijing, we still have to be on guard against the third room!" Qiu Yilan asked puzzledly, "Does the third room think that such a thing can win the trust of the third room? How naive are we?"
Fourth Fang knows very well what happened in Shazhou, so there is absolutely no way he can trust Dafang and Third Fang!
"Have you forgotten the list that Third Uncle gave to Fourth Aunt before?" Jiang Yashuang sighed deeply, "If he had made an appointment with Dafang from then on, that list..."
Qiu Yilan was stunned: "Fake?!"
"Maybe I picked off most of Fourth Aunt's confidants instead!" Jiang Yashuang's face turned livid, "There was something very wrong between Yan Linxue and Fan Taibi at the New Year's Eve banquet! I thought he might be from the big house, but now it seems..."
This is going to cause big trouble! Previously, Jiang Yashuang used the excuse that Duke Qin was seriously ill to force Jiang Tianqi. The main purpose was to make Empress Dowager Jiang safer. But if Jiang Tianqi was pretending to be helpless at that time, you can only imagine what the list he provided would look like!
"If that's the case, then what were they planning for the disturbance at the New Year's Eve banquet?" Qiu Yilan pursed her lips and said seriously, "Yan Linxue is already the commander of the Forbidden Army, and not only did Fourth Aunt not doubt him, but she trusted him! If there is no important purpose, it is impossible to throw him out as a desertion just to smear the royal family! But now that this matter has been dealt with for some time, it doesn't seem to cause anything? Even I thought I would take advantage of it? The powerful concubine would rather kneel in front of the Taishi Palace than take advantage of the palace power... "
"Let's not talk about this for now. I just digressed from the topic - why are all the bad things directed at Fifth Brother?" Jiang Yashuang said coldly, "But Fifth Brother didn't even say a word... Speaking of which, No matter what the purpose of the eldest brother was in bringing the fourth brother and the fifth brother to Beijing, and what plans the second and fifth brothers had for entering the capital, you said, just because our great-aunt owed the uncle and eldest aunt in the early years, Will she feel free to let her grandchildren and great-grandchildren come with her uncle? "
Obviously impossible!
Jiang Yazhao and Jiang Yawan are all the biological grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Mrs. Han! How can Mrs. Han feel at ease after handing them over to the big house
"Does it mean that... I have to hand it over?!" Qiu Yilan pondered, "What can the big house do to threaten them?"
After saying these words, the couple's hearts suddenly jumped and they said in unison: "Uncle!"
… At this moment, the Imperial City, Zishen Palace, and Beique Palace.
Xin Fubing leaned on the soft couch and flipped through a book carelessly: "Your Majesty rested in Quezhi Palace today?"
"Back to the Empress, that's right!" The confidant palace maid knelt beside the couch, holding a beauty hammer, carefully beating her legs for her, and said softly, "Originally, His Majesty was serving the Queen Mother in the Taishi Palace, and the noble concubine was also serving her there. Tea and water were given. Later, the Queen Mother was tired, so His Majesty and the Concubine retired together... I think after leaving Ganquan Palace, the Concubine seduced Your Majesty... "
"Hey! She is a noble concubine, not a nameless mistress. She should serve His Majesty. What is seducing? Seducing or not seducing?" I have been placed in Zhi Palace, am I such a narrow-minded person?”
The confidant palace maid bit her lip and said, "My servant just thinks that the imperial concubine is really out of her mind!"
Qidao didn't want the palace power before. He originally found a shortcut to seize the opportunity to fight for favor!
"Why did she come into this palace to disturb people if she didn't deliberately do it?" Xin Fubing's long eyelashes slightly drooped and said calmly, "Originally, during the days when I was banned from the palace, it was impossible for her not to do something."
The confidant palace maid hesitated for a moment and said: "But your Majesty! The noble concubine is now bullying you into not leaving the Zishen Palace. During the day, she pretends to be obedient in front of the Queen Mother, and at night she seduces her Majesty to go to her place! The maid knows that no matter whether the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother is Your Majesty, my heart is with you, but how about your confinement to get some relief from the summer heat? It’s only been a long time, I’m afraid..."
"Just let her be free for a few days!" Xin Fubing squinted her eyes and opened the book with a slightly cold expression, "Do you think that since I am grounded, I can't care about the outside world?!"
