Peeping through her fingers, she saw her husband frowning and closing the thick black material. Qiu Yilan secretly prayed that his attention would be attracted by the black material and not to question her too much - but Jiang Yashuang thought about it for a while and asked straight away: "Is this given to you by Queen Mother Ye's people?"
"..." After struggling for a moment between continuing to struggle and confessing leniently, Qiu Yilan asked cautiously, "How did you know?" Could it be that Queen Mother Ye's people were holding back, and there was something else she hadn't seen in it? Code hint
"It has been four or five years since the fall of the Gu family. The chief culprit has been punished, and the remaining culprits are considered not to be feared. All parties are thinking about fighting for power and profit. Who is willing to continue to invest manpower and material resources in killing everyone?" Jiang Yashuang sneered, "If you have the time, It's better to take advantage of a few more positions - if you still stare at them in this situation, you must have a deep hatred for the Gu family! Who else can be there besides Queen Mother Ye's group?"
Well, I underestimated my husband's IQ... Qiu Yilan lowered her head pitifully: "...Yes."
"Did you get a gift from Queen Mother Ye when you met her alone?" Jiang Yashuang said in a playful tone, "After all, Chunxiao's temperament and status are not enough to inherit Queen Mother Ye's manpower, and she herself is trapped in the palace, with no other people to contact at all. Giving it to you can also bring some benefits to Chunxiao... right?"
"...Yes." The guess was accurate. Qiu Yilan had nothing to say and could only admit it.
Jiang Yashuang was silent for a moment, but did not ask her why she didn't tell him. Instead, she said calmly: "Your Majesty has already had different intentions. I have some plans. Please don't tell anyone."
"Of course." His attitude made Qiu Yilan feel even more uncertain, twisting her handkerchief uneasily, "otherwise why would I give it to you? Is it just for you to decide what to do?"
Jiang Yashuang still didn't ask why she didn't tell him, and just said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. Your Majesty has no military power, so he can't threaten us."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "You go back first, I want to think about it!"
"..." Qiu Yilan looked at him and wanted to say something, but her eyes touched his indifferent expression, so she swallowed it and walked away angrily.
It was mid-afternoon at this time. During dinner, Jiang Yashuang did not go back, but said that she wanted to give Lu He some guidance on his homework. The master and the apprentice just dealt with it hastily in the flower hall.
Qiu Yilan didn't think much about it at this time. After taking the children to use it, she took a shower and changed clothes. She dressed up specially and put on a newly made clothes, planning to admit her mistake and reconcile with her husband when he came back.
Unexpectedly, she waited until the end of the year without seeing Jiang Yashuang. Just when she was about to call someone to ask, Mu Jin came over to report that Jiang Yashuang was too exhausted to explain her homework to Lu He today, so she just fell asleep in the study - Mu Jin didn't dare to raise her head after saying this, and Qiu Yilan's face turned extremely ugly for a moment: This study is across the courtyard in front, and it's only a few steps to the back. I'm not a person of 70 or 80 years old, how can I be so tired? !
He simply didn't come back on purpose! It’s nothing more than resenting myself for hiding things from him!
Taking a deep breath, she waved Hibiscus to retreat, turned off the light and settled herself... Of course, she couldn't fall asleep even though she tossed and turned!
I regretted not confessing at the time, and I also felt that after so many years of marriage and two children, it was unprecedented for the two of them to lose face like this for something that had no serious consequences but was a mistake. It was really aggrieved!
In short, her mood that night was so complicated that it was difficult to describe.
Of course, this night also seemed to be extremely long.
After finally staying up until dawn, she stood up listlessly. After thinking about it, she decided to lower her head first and ask someone to go ahead and ask: "Have you woken up yet? What are you going to use this morning?"
According to her idea, Jiang Yashuang would order a dish or porridge and cook it herself, and everyone would take a step back and get over it.
However, Jiang Yashuang was determined to keep a cold war this time. Not only did she say that she could just grab some of the porridge cooked by Li's mother for breakfast, she didn't even come back to wash herself. She excused herself to go on an errand and asked Jiang Shan to come back and get a change of clothes. clothes!
"Go in and give it to him!" Qiu Yilan was in a bad mood, but looking at Jiang Shan's cautious look, she couldn't get angry and turned to tell Mulian.
… It was just one night, and the outside didn’t pay much attention.
But for the next four or five days, Jiang Yashuang slept in the study room. When she missed her child, she asked someone to send a message and take the child to the study room to play for a while. In the first two days, Qiu Yilan took the initiative to find him and tried to reconcile, but the two She was blocked by Jiang Shan and Lu He every time. She was not a low-key person in the first place. Seeing this situation, she refused to lower herself any more. She just cleaned up and lived her own life. She had no right to live without Jiang Yashuang. Same as this person.
For a moment, there was a roaring noise in their yard, and everyone was cautious from top to bottom, for fear that the owner, who was obviously in a bad mood, would catch him and vent his anger!
After so many days, it is naturally difficult for the news to not leak out.
Mrs. Tao was very shocked and angry when she found out. At first she was dubious and asked people to find out whether it was true or false. When it was finalized, I was really anxious and angry!
After calming down, he pondered for a long time, and first called Jiang Yashuang to the front for questioning - but Jiang Yashuang was unwilling to let the black material leak out, so he refused to tell the truth. He only said that there had been a lot of things going on in the past two days. She slept in the study for no other reason than the old lady overthinking everything.
The old lady sneered: "Are you here to coax me? There is only one courtyard between the study and your bedroom. Are you so tired that you can't walk just a few steps? If you really can't walk, what is the use of the slaves raised in the family? Either carry or carry them back. Can’t you come over? Besides, your wife has been stopped several times when she went to see you, do you think I don’t know?”
However, Jiang Yashuang refused to admit it, and the old lady had nothing to do with him. She only reminded, "You were the one who wanted to marry this daughter-in-law. People say that young couples come to keep you company, especially the one you have and An'er has already raised her." "Three children, don't ruin the friendship over the years because of impulsiveness, and then regret it when you calm down - even if you are still together by then, you may not be able to go back to the past!"
Jiang Yashuang just nodded in agreement and thanked her for the lesson, but never mentioned reconciliation with his wife.
The old lady was so angry that she suppressed her anger and asked Qiu Yilan again - Qiu Yilan wouldn't even say anything! After all, she promised Jiang Yashuang not to spread the dirty information; secondly, if the old lady knew the truth, she would probably blame her for not doing things properly, and even wonder how much she had hidden
So I said it was nothing.
"Forget it, I'm old, and I can't help you if you don't want to say it. But which couple doesn't have time to quarrel? I hope you don't really hurt your feelings because of this!" The old lady felt that she didn't know the kindness of people, and she was indifferent. I don't want to worry about it anymore. She thought to herself that Jiang Yashuang was not a stupid person anyway, and she would not treat her badly for her two children, Jiang Jinglang and Jiang Huiying, even after their relationship with Qiu Yilan was over.
However, Qiu Yilan's status as the principal wife is unshakable, so An'er can live a good life by being raised by her. Otherwise, how could Qiu Yilan take care of her children if she had too much time to take care of herself
Thinking of this, the old lady also felt a little regretful: "Earlier, I thought that the relationship between Shijiu and Jin was stronger, so I gave An'er to them to raise without telling them, and even bit her to death and couldn't send it back to Xiaoba and his wife! What if Shishi Jiu and his wife are really at loggerheads. I wonder if it will affect An'er in the future? "
The old lady failed to persuade her to make peace, and Jiang Yashuang and his wife continued to live in separate rooms after they returned to the hospital. Originally, they were an attractive couple, but Jiang Yashuang had been doting on Qiu Yilan for many years, and even more so. He made everyone in the government and the public envied and hated him.
Now that there are cracks, I don’t know how many people are laughing!
Of course, it's not like no one is worried about them. It goes without saying that the Queen and Zhuang Man are sincere.
Empress Dowager Jiang was also very troubled: "Qiu Jinglan is now in charge in Western Xinjiang. Who doesn't know that he loves his precious sister the most - isn't this adding chaos to chaos?"
The Queen Mother does not want the Zhenxi Army to fall into the hands of the Jiang family, because the two major frontier armies have been captured by the Jiang family, so the Jiang family's position will become more and more stable! At that time, she, the Queen Mother, who is not very good at governing, will have no say!
After all, the ability to govern and the desire for power are two different things. Empress Dowager Jiang is not Empress Xin. She is not very interested in the life of her husband and children. After all, she likes the feeling of being the master of the family in the court.
"The situation in Western Xinjiang is not very good now. How can General Zhenxi care about the capital?" Ms. Lin comforted, "Besides, the Nineteenth Young Madam is also someone who loves her brother, and she will definitely not want to take care of her brother at this moment." If you are causing trouble to General Zhenxi, you will definitely not tell him!"
The Queen Mother sighed: "I hope so! How can two good people fall out after a falling out? The Ai family can't understand it. I haven't heard of anyone outside the Nineteenth? The Nineteenth daughter-in-law is followed by a group of people all day long. With the children surrounding her and so many pairs of eyes, it’s impossible for her to be sorry for Nineteen, right?”
When Miss Lin heard the words "There is someone outside", her heart was moved. Although she was following Empress Dowager Jiang and was a slave in name, there were only a handful of people in the world who dared to treat her as a slave. Even the current emperor She is afraid of her - the problem is that such power is not reliable enough for her. After all, her power is based on the Empress Dowager Jiang. Once something happens to the Empress Dowager, her status will drop sharply, and even the Taishi Palace will not be able to do so. I may not be able to stay any longer!
Furthermore, although she has never married for the sake of the queen and has no biological children, she still has a family.
The Lin family was one of the earliest slaves of the Jiang family, and Ms. Lin had several nieces and nephews. Although these people have been well taken care of because of her, in Ms. Lin's opinion, most of them are still not noble enough.
"It would be great if some of the nieces in the family could be adopted by the Nineteenth Young Master!" Ms. Lin has always been optimistic about Jiang Yashuang. In the early years, she had adopted a foster daughter named Ni Guang and wanted to pass it to him through the Empress Dowager Jiang, but later Ni Only when the light is dead can this be done.
Later, for various reasons, Empress Dowager Jiang asked her not to cause trouble for Qiu Yilan, so she stopped.
Now that she heard that there was a problem between Jiang Yashuang and his wife, she immediately started thinking again, "The eldest daughter of the third brother is fourteen this year. Last time I saw her, she looked strangely juicy! Although her appearance is still not as good as that of Qiu's , But Qiu is already twenty-one years old, how can she be as delicate as Wen Niang, who is only twenty-seven years old? How can a man not love young people?"
She persuaded Empress Dowager Jiang, but she made up her mind to ask Lin Wenniang to walk more in front of Jiang Yashuang...
