Chapter 425 Today Wasn’t the Same as Before!
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Madame Tao, who was still in the room, saw Qiu Yelan coming back and got slightly surprised, “Anything wrong?”
“Before I arrived, I met two people one after another on the road. They each told me something so I came here for advice!” Qiu Yelan explained, “I first met Huizhi in a narrow alley. She mentioned what happened in the imperial garden and said that it was definitely not done by her or the first branch. She felt wronged and even wanted to die! And then I met Aunt Tianhe. She said that Huizhi told her the same thing. Since Huizhi will enter the palace and the youngest grand uncle asked Empress to take care of her before his death, why did she say this? Aunt Tianhe didn’t understand so she hoped that I could let you ask my grandfather!”
Madame Tao snorted and said, “I know what she is thinking! Why is she so impatient when your youngest grand uncle just passed away? Huizhi should keep filial piety to her grandmother before she enters the palace. But she is in such a hurry now. Does she want to help or hurt Empress?”
Madame Tao knew everything clearly. Jiang Tianhe said that she didn’t understand Jiang Huizhi’s meaning, which clearly showed that she was dissatisfied with Sir Jibei’s order of treating Jiang Huizhi well before his death. It was at this time that Jiang Huizhi went to explain to her. So, she used it and wanted to put this matter to Marquess Qin in order to make Marquess Qin think that the first branch was greedy because of this. The promise of Empress was not enough for them and they even played tricks in an attempt to gain more!
“Although Jiang Tianhe did this to protect her daughter from the first branch who might take advantage of Kunlun’s order after his death, did this action lose her face? Chaohai is sad about his younger brother’s death now. How dare someone want to break the family harmony that is wanted by Kunlun before he died? If she talks to Chaohai at this time and Chaohai thinks the first branch is greedy, will he have a good impression on her?”
At that time, he might vent his anger on Xin Fubing. Madame Tao, as the messenger, would also lose her face! How could Madame Tao listen to Jiang Tianhe? At this moment, she frowned and said, “You tell her what I said. Chaohai doesn’t want to listen to these messy things now! Let her do her responsibility of filial piety well and wait for her father’s burial!”
Qiu Yelan agreed, but Jiang Tianhe believed that his daughter had been wronged for so many years, so she couldn’t stand it anymore. Moreover, Xin Fubing’s grievance was for the fourth branch. If Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yayue died for a clear reason, why did Sir Jibei ask people to treat his niece who was suspected of seducing Emperor well before he died?
Therefore, the fourth branch had the obligation to stand on Xin Fubing’s side and fight against Jiang Huizhi!
Although Jiang Tianhe’s attitude was threatening, Qiu Yelan had a good relationship with Xin Fubing and knew the truth about the deaths of Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing. She felt that Xin Fubing was wronged this time. Even though she didn’t agree with Jiang Tianhe, she still did it according to Jiang Tianhe’s will.
Now that Madame Tao told her the words, she nodded and said, “I will tell Aunt Tianhe.”
Madame Tao added, “Your grandfather was in a very bad mood these past two days. Don’t make him angry anymore! Otherwise, you will suffer.”
“Thanks. I will keep it in mind!” Qiu Yelan nodded and decided to tell Jiang Tianhe this sentence. She was afraid that Jiang Tianhe would make Marquess Qin angry and let Xin Fubing be in a pickle.
After she left, Madame Tao called Mom Hu and told her what Qiu Yelan had said again. Her face became gloomy, “As soon as Kunlun died, his daughter made such a trouble. She is not doing well in keeping her duty of filial piety but went everywhere. She is really stupid! She has been arrogant in the outside for so many years. Qiu Yelan is a junior and she may not be able to persuade her! You find a chance to talk to her and tell her what she should do at this moment! Does she really think that Chaohai doesn’t know anything when lying on the couch now?”
Mom Hu cautiously said, “However, Jiang Huizhi has the words of Sir Jibei. It is really difficult for Empress to deal with her in the future. Even if she makes a big mistake, Empress will forgive her unless she makes more than two times!”
“Tianluan and I always dislike the first branch, so do you think we have to kill Jiang Huizhi because she belongs to the first branch?” Madame Tao glanced at her and said slowly, “But now it is not the same as before. Although the power of the Xin family is not very strong and there is no outstanding manpower, who can tell the future? Once Empress Xin is powerful in the Imperial Harem, why can’t the Xin family be powerful rapidly? Although they can’t touch the military power under normal circumstances, they have other powers. If they use military power to interfere with the court, what will the situation be?”
Seeing Mom Hu being in a daze, Madame Tao said lightly, “Tianluan is the Empress Dowager instead of Empress today. She can control the Imperial Harem of Emperor. Even if Tianluan doesn’t have to worry about Empress Xin taking her up now, she needs to think about the future. The first branch is an example!”
“I understand, Madame.” Mom Hu whispered with tears as the cold sweat was on her back. “I will persuade Madame Tianhe to do her duty of filial piety at ease and not cause trouble for the Empress!”
“Couldn’t Jiang Tianhe come and tell me by herself? Her mother is lying here! Wasn’t it more convenient to talk to me in the name of visiting her mother than to stop Qiu Yelan on the road? She could earn a reputation for caring about her mother by the way.” Madame Tao sneered and said, “I don’t know if Qiu Yelan can see her intention of conveying these words. Her real purpose is to test Qiu Yelan!”
“After all, although Prince of Cai was accounted for the deaths of Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing, who would not doubt the fourth branch in this family?” Madame Tao lowered her voice and said it to Mom Hu, “Especially Qiu Yelan and Empress Xin are good friends all the time. Jiang Tianhe is using this to draw Jiang Yashuang and his wife over to her side. After all, the Xin family’s foundation is not so good, though there is an Empress in the family. People will rush to support the Xin family, but no matter how many people do that, how can the Xin Family compare with the Jiang Family? The fourth daughter-in-law is not in Jing City so I help her to manage her branch. If Qiu Yelan comes to help Jiang Tianhe, how can I explain in the future?”
Hearing this, Mom Hu understood it. Empress Dowager Jiang and Madame Tao spent so many years in the fourth branch because they wanted the fourth branch to support them and help them hold the power together! How could she tolerate Jiang Tianhe poaching Qiu Yelan?
Her thoughts changed a few times and she whispered, “I will persuade Madame Tianhe, but if she does not listen to your advice and does it, then… Not only can’t I do anything, but you can’t make it. After all, Madame Ou can’t do anything without you!”
Madame Tao smiled with satisfaction, “Fine!”
When Sir Jibei was lying on the sickbed, Xin Fubing promised to bury the hatchet and take good care of Jiang Huizhi before him. Xin Fubing was the most innocent person. How couldn’t Marquess Qin understand it? Jiang Tianhe only saw the grievances suffered by her daughter, but did not see Marquess Qin’s face when Xin Fubing promised to treat Jiang Huizhi well!
After all, Xin Fubing was the granddaughter of Sir Jibei instead of Marquess Qin’s! In Marquess Qin’s view, this was ridiculous that his son and grandson bullied his brother’s son and grandson, but in the end, it was his brother’s granddaughter who paid the price!
How could Marquess Qin let Xin Fubing suffer this loss?
Even if Jiang Huizhi had the words of Sir Jibei, she would be a noble concubine if she didn’t make any big mistake in the future. And Xin Fubing wouldn’t treat her badly. However, the future of Jiang Huizhi and the first branch would come to an end, unless Xin Fubing couldn’t give birth to a son and she was willing to adopt Jiang Huizhi’s son. Otherwise, Jiang Huizhi’s son would never be an emperor!
“Even though Empress is young, she knows everything! Make concessions in order to gain advantages! She earned her face! But her mother, who is too arrogant, seems to be stupid!” Madame Tao sneered in her heart, “Originally, if Jiang Tianhe hadn’t done do anything, not only would Chaohai protect the position of Empress, but even the Xin family would get a huge return. But now if he knows that Jiang Tianhe has caused troubles, the Xin family will never get benefits as it will also be unclear that whether Empress will be benefited!”
But she was very satisfied with this situation, “Emperor is not Tianluan’s biological son and I do not have a biological son. Is there anything good for Tianluan after the Yue Family becomes stronger? They are begging Tianluan to help them now and we are at ease.”
“Also, Jiang Tianhe dared to draw Jiang Yashuang and his wife over. She even wanted to deceive Jiang Yashuang’s young wife and tried to persuade her. This must be known by Chaohai!” Madame Tao squinted and thought in her mind, “Chaohai works hard to cultivate Jiang Yashuang. He doesn’t want him to be used by others. Jiang Yashuang’s wife was Lang’er’s mother and she is favored by Jiang Yashuang. Hey! Jiang Tianhe, you are stupid! Even Tianluan and I were cautious about Jiang Yashuang back then, and we were afraid to let Chaohai think we wanted to control him!”
Madame Tao was secretly irritated by Jiang Tianhe. Qiu Yelan went back to the front and looked around, but she did not find Jiang Tianhe. She took a few people to ask and all said they didn’t see her. She was thinking about where Jiang Tianhe went when Madame Zhuang Junior led a few people, looking around and walking towards her. Upon seeing Qiu Yelan, she asked, “Have you seen Huizhi? We can’t find her in a twinkling. She is very depressed these days. I am a little worried!”
“I just met her on the road. She went over there.” Qiu Yelan nodded and pointed behind her.
Madame Zhuang Junior glanced in the direction and didn’t say anything, but a middle-aged man, who seemed to be a steward, suddenly changed his face, “Madame, the garden is in that direction. On such a cold day, there is no beautiful view. Even servants don’t like to pass by there! What is Miss Huizhi going there for? The pond in the garden…”
Hearing that, Madame Zhuang Junior was shocked, “Yelan, when did you see Huizhi?”
“For a while!” Qiu Yelan was also shocked. Although she was not the daughter-in-law of the Marquis’s Mansion and didn’t have a close relationship with the Marquis’s Mansion, she felt bad for her carelessness. Why did she not ask one more question about where Huizhi was going?
“But she went there with two maids. I think everything will be fine, right?” After being surprised, Qiu Yelan said subconsciously as she thought for a while and felt that things would not be as bad as what the steward said.
Madame Zhuang Junior bit her lip and said, “Let’s go and check it out!”
Qiu Yelan hesitated and said, “I’ll go with you!” After all, Jiang Huizhi met her and talked to her when she was going there. If Huizhi really did something bad, Qiu Yelan, as her aunt, would have to bear the blame for being too careless!
