Chapter 272 I’ve Already Known She Could Not Tolerate Yelan

Jiang Yashuang came back late this day mainly because he accompanied the Seventh Prince to visit Prince of Qi. Empress Jiang hadn’t returned to Summer Palace at the time, so naturally she would not miss the opportunity to remind her nephew not to spoil his wife.

His aunt always treated him as her own son, while he loved his wife so much. Even if Jiang Yashuang had been a master of comforting elders since he was a child, he made great effort to comfort the Empress.

When he returned to his yard with a tired look, he was shocked to hear that Qiu Yelan fell ill before the evening!

Jiang Yashuang was so anxious to send for a doctor and brew medicine, and he didn’t get to sleep until the middle of the night. Shortly before Jiang Yashuang came back, Madame Tao also got the news that Qiu Yelan was sick. Even if Madame Tao always showed kindness to others, she put on a sulky face after hearing the news!

Mom Hu even scolded unhappily, “Didn’t she remember the time when she relied on our family status before she got married? Now she is a member of Jiang Family. It was unfilial for her not to come out to share the worries for the elders since something happened in the family, and Madame, you even took out the precious item of your dowry to comfort her…What does she want on earth? She wanna take all the benefits but escape from all the trouble in the family? How could she have the face to get sick?”

No wonder they thought that after Qiu Yelan went back, she still felt angry and malingered then. After all, the timing of Qiu Baozhu’s visit was too coincidental, and Qiu Yelan hadn’t even told them about it. How could Jiang Family, who had been used to sending away poor relatives for a long time, think that Qiu Baozhu didn’t come here to gain some advantages but to say some big secret?

Especially it was said that the crystal plate in Qiu Yelan’s yard that was given to the legitimate grandsons was also broken by a maid, “Only our family and the legitimate grandsons in our family can possess that. No matter how the young masters and young mesdames born by the concubines want one, they can only take a look at the room of a legitimate young master! Which maid dared to be so careless? Why it hasn’t been broken before but just today? It must be the nineteenth young madame who broke it out of anger. The maid is just a scapegoat. It’s really ridiculous! After marrying into her husband’s family, even she herself belongs to her husband’s family then. How could she care about such a small thing? I’ve never heard of such a grumpy daughter-in-law before! It’s fortunate that Old Princess Lian and Princess Ruan died early, or they would feel ashamed of her!”

Madame Tao looked gloomy for a long time, and then she said to Mom Hu, “Since she is sick, we can’t ignore that. You let someone send some medicinal materials there and ask the doctor when she will recover!”

She asked Mom Hu to let someone do that instead of letting Mom Hu do that in person, which was an expression of her dissatisfaction.

Mom Hu was extremely arrogant, “She is in good health while she is in the bed. The doctor must know that she is pretending sick, but he doesn’t dare to expose that!”

“No way out. She is the legitimate granddaughter-in-law, so we have to go through the motions.” Madame Tao said, “What’s more, she has not been married long, so she hasn’t let down all her temper when she was a girl… It’s not strange for a child to make a scene like this!”

“Who in Jing City doesn’t know the situation in Prince’s Mansion of Xihe?” Mom Hu sneered, “She has never been a beloved daughter there. Only Qiu Jinglan cared about her. How could she become so delicate in such a short time? After marrying into Jiang Family, she even takes up the air of being a beloved daughter! Obviously, she just bullies you and the nineteenth young master because you both have a good temper!”

Madame Tao was also angry. She was always provoked by the juniors and her daughters-in-law in her early years because of her identity as the second wife.

Since the first branch had a special status, the grandchildren always snubbed her. Therefore, Madame Tao would not have been so angry about the disrespect of the juniors. The problem was that it was she who tried her best to bring Qiu Yelan and Jiang Yashuang together!

She had thought that since she lived a pitiful life in her natal family, after getting married, she would be docile certainly. However, it turned out that she was more aggressive than her mother-in-law, Madame Zhuang!

Madame Tao would be happy if she was aggressive towards others, and she didn’t mind cleaning up after her… But she even dared to put on the airs in front of her. Madame Tao felt that she was offended. She thought she misjudged her and she was cheated by her!

Since she was not happy, Madame Tao didn’t stop Mom Hu from cursing.

And the servant who was sent by Mom Hu to visit Qiu Yelan had the same attitude as her naturally.

Thus, the next morning, the attitude of the servant who was sent to visit Qiu Yelan was completely different from that before!

Everyone in the Madame’s yard should not be underestimated. For example, the old maidservant, Wang, had a smile on her face and a gentle tone from beginning to end, but her words just made people annoyed!

And you even couldn’t find anything wrong with her words!

However, Qiu Yelan’s maids were not stupid. They could see that although the old maidservant Wang came here in the name of visiting, she came here to annoy them especially in fact!

“Su He, take a trip to Green Villa, and tell the young master and Lady Ciyi about what happened yesterday and today!” As soon as the old maidservant Wang left, Mrs. Zhou’s expression turned sulky. She called her granddaughter into the corner and said, “Of course, the matter about the Princess… Don’t talk about that, lest the young master will be sad while worrying about the young madame! After the young madame recovers, let she tell him by herself!”

Su He was embarrassed, “How dare the old maidservant Wang visit the young madame like this? It must be the old madame… If I go to Green Villa now…”

“Shouldn’t we tell the young madame’s family since she is sick?” Mrs. Zhou sneered disdainfully. In terms of power, even the Prince’s Mansion of Xihe before declining was incomparable with Jiang Family, while in terms of foundation, Mrs. Zhou really looked down on Jiang Family, which had only been in existence for decades!

Back then, she was serving the Princess, and she had seen so many hereditary princes. While in Jiang Family, the highest position was just the Marquess which was not justifiable at all! Mrs. Zhou was best at going through the motions! After Old Princess Lian died, Mrs. Zhou had been living a cautious life for more than ten years. But at this time, there was someone at Qiu Yelan’s back, so she wouldn’t continue to be cowardly then!

Su He’s heart settled down after hearing her words. She immediately changed her clothes and went to Green Villa. She told Qiu Jinglan everything, including that Qiu Yelan’s life-saving pill was taken away, she fell ill and was offended by the maidservant who the old madame sent there this morning, which made Qiu Jinglan’s face turn blue with anger. He asked with a cold voice, “Where is Jiang Yashuang? Is he dead?”

Green Villa was regarded as Qiu Yelan’s natal family, and Su He had been in the Prince’s Mansion all the time before Qiu Yelan got married. So she used the appellations as before since there was no outsider here, “It was not the nineteenth young master’s fault. Commandery Princess took the medicine and fell asleep before he came back last night and she didn’t wake up when he left for business this morning. Commandery Princess was still in sleep when I came here. Fortunately, the fever broke.”

It was true. Jiang Yashuang looked very tired when he went back yesterday, but he still asked about his wife’s illness, refused to move to the study temporarily at night as the servants suggested, and still slept in the inner chamber. Last night, it was Chunran and Xiaran who served Qiu Yelan. In the morning, Su He heard from them that Jiang Yashuang got up to check his wife several times in the evening. So he was a nice husband.

After she explained it, Qiu Jinglan softened his tone and asked, “So, my sister got sick because her pill was taken away and she was so angry?”

“It should be like this.” Su He was with a guilty conscience. In her opinion, Qiu Yelan fell ill because Qiu Baozhu told her the real cause of the death of Princess Ruan and she was greatly stimulated. Of course, the pot of herbal tea she drank in one gulp after taking the pair of jade pillows back from Madame Tao yesterday was probably another reason.

But her grandmother Mrs. Zhou told her not to tell Qiu Jinglan about this, so Su He did not dare to mention it naturally.

However, Qiu Jinglan had met countless people, especially girls. Su He thought that she didn’t even mention Qiu Baozhu’s visit, so she would never reveal anything. However, she didn’t know that Qiu Jinglan found that she was hiding something important after just taking a glance at her. His face sank, “So? You even wanna hide it from me? You think you are the maid favored by my sister, so I can’t punish you then?”

How could Su He be his opponent? Su He couldn’t resist his hard and soft tactics, sobbing and telling him the truth, “Commandery Princess has been with the Princess all the time, and she fell ill after sending away the second Commandery Princess! My grandmother said I couldn’t let you know it, otherwise…”

In fact, Qiu Jinglan was not listening to her then. The moment Su He said that Xingkang Grand Princess’s jealousy led to the death of Princess Ruan, Qiu Jinglan only felt a bang in his head. Then he could hear nothing.

“So that’s it? So that’s it!” At this moment, Qiu Jinglan’s mood was indescribable. He had always thought that Kuang Shihan rebelled against his adoptive father, General Ruan, just because he was greedy for power.

But judging from what Qiu Baozhu said, he did that just because he coveted his mother!

He even killed his father and destroyed his grandfather’s family for this reason!

Although he failed to achieve his wish in the end, his wife ordered someone to poison his mother from far away!

“How dare he!” At this time, it was more shameful for a mother to be coveted than to be killed!

Qiu Jinglan was furious, “If that person hadn’t had such a mind, my father, mother and grandmother would still have been alive now. I wouldn’t have to leave home to conceal my identity, and my younger sister wouldn’t have to suffer so much.”

“If that person had hidden his mind well, at least my mother could still have been alive. Even if we had to be separated for many years, I would always have the opportunity to be filial to her! If my mother were still alive, my sister would be protected, and she wouldn’t have escaped death narrowly for so many times. Especially in Mount Dizi!”

He woke up from nightmares at so many nights, and the dreams were so clear.

It was the unwillingness and struggle of his father, Qiu Zhongyan, who looked at the direction of Jing City when he died in a bloody battle.

It was the sorrow and sadness of his grandmother Old Princess Lian who drank the poison after asking someone to take him away with tears.

It was the last breath of his lonely and solicitous mother, who lay on the bed alone and thought about her daughter in Mount Dizi and her son who couldn’t be mentioned.

What made him feel most painful was that the young and weak Qiu Yelan was instantly submerged by the sudden flow of snow in the roaring avalanche!

Even Qiu Yelan had been married at this time, he still couldn’t imagine how his sister survived that time. Maybe the ancestors of Qiu Family really blessed them in heaven or it was God’s mercy.

“I only have my younger sister now!” Qiu Jinglan thought sadly, “I didn’t approve of her marrying Jiang Yashuang before. No matter how outstanding he is and how flourishing Jiang Family is, I am not powerful enough to support her. So how could she not get into trouble?”

His eyes gradually cooled, “But if Madame Tao thought that she could bully my sister at will, she was wrong!”

With a change of thought, he stretched out his hand slowly to cover his chest, and his body shook. Su He was lowering her head and comforting him cautiously, not noticing it. While Dongran was standing behind him with fear, and her hair almost stood on the end! She bit her lip hard to resist exclaiming, and stepped forward to support his body, “Call the doctor!”

Mrs. Zhou sent Su He over to report the news. Considering Madame Tao’s increasingly worse attitude, Qiu Yelan would have a tough life in the future. So she wanted Su He to ask Qiu Jinglan for some advice. While Su He failed to stand up to Qiu Jinglan’s interrogation, and it turned out that Qiu Jinglan himself also got into a coma because of anger just like his sister. Ruan Ciyi, who had been living a carefree life these two years just like when she had not been married because she had a capable cousin, naturally knew that then.

Fortunately, the doctor had repeatedly assured them that there was nothing serious, “He was just too excited just now. Anger could hurt his body… After taking the medicine and resting in bed, he will wake up tonight. After that, take another two sets of herbal medicines. The young master is still young after all! Please don’t worry about it so much, madame!”

Ruan Ciyi wiped off the cold sweat. The doctor was given twice the fee and then left with a smile. Ruan Ciyi then turned around and questioned the servants sternly, “Who made Qiu Jinglan so angry?”

All the people looked at Su He. Su He stood out tremblingly and replied, “It’s me, madame…”

“Su He?” Ruan Ciyi’s attention was fixed on Qiu Jinglan all the time before, and she didn’t pay attention to any other people around her. Only then did she notice Su He. She was shocked, “Why are you here?”

Qiu Jinglan was such a shrewd man. What could stimulate him and make him faint on the spot after hearing that?

Ruan Ciyi felt dizzy for a while, “Is anything wrong with Yelan?”

“The Commandery Princess just had an indisposition!” Su He’s words had already made Qiu Jinglan faint. For fear that Ruan Ciyi would also follow in his steps and there would be no one in charge of Green Villa then, Su He told her about Qiu Yelan’s current situation quickly, “The doctor had come to see her, and the nineteenth young master also cared about her so much.”

“How could he faint by anger just because of this reason?” Ruan Ciyi raised her voice, “You don’t wanna tell me? Can you bear the responsibility if something bad happens?”

Su He would not dare to mention Princess Ruan again for the life of her. Even though Princess Ruan was just Ruan Ciyi’s aunt, not her mother, they were still relatives. So she didn’t go into details but insisted that Qiu Yelan got sick out of anger because her pill was taken away, “Yesterday the doctor said that she would recover after taking two sets of herbal medicines, and we didn’t intend to disturb you and the young master. But this morning, the old madame got the news that Commandery Princess was sick and she sent someone to visit. The person talked as if the old madame had been annoyed at Commandery Princess…”

Ruan Ciyi was not as shrewd as Qiu Jinglan, and Su He replied with her head lowering. She couldn’t see her expression and eyes, so she didn’t suspect her words. She put on a sulky face, “I’ve already known that old woman will not tolerate Yelan sooner or later!”

“What?” Su He was stunned.
