Chapter 22: Filial Piety
Qin Lang walked on the front foot, and the second lady Liu came back on the back foot, she was not worried about Bai Jinxiu, and her husband was not at home, so she planned to stay in this Qingzhu Pavilion tonight to guard her daughter.
Seeing that Qingzhu Pavilion was settled properly, Mama Jiang instructed the girls to take care of Bai Jinxiu tonight, so she braved the snow to return to the Longevity Courtyard from Qingzhu Pavilion, and carefully told the eldest princess about today's events.
As soon as the second sister was carried into the Qingzhu Pavilion, the eldest sister immediately ordered to go down, and ordered the whole house to take care of her tongue and not to talk about the second sister's injury, nor to chew the root of her tongue with people outside the house. The people in the house are still honest, I heard Mama Hai say that many mothers-in-law and subordinates from the Qinggui Mansion came to our house to inquire about the silver, and the people didn't dare to spit out anything. Mama Jiang gently pinched the eldest princess's shoulder.
The eldest princess nodded.
Mama Jiang then told the eldest princess what happened in the front yard behind inviting Qin Lang into the door, and Bai Qingyan did not hide her words of persuading Qin Lang to follow Yao Shun's example.
The eldest princess closed her eyes and fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said slowly: "Ah Bao can see through, there is the word filial piety pressed on Qin Lang's head, if Qin Lang does not have the courage to give up his title, even if he becomes a loyal and brave marquis, he will be held in the palm of his hand by the Jiang family, Jinxiu is Qin Lang's wife, husband and wife are one, and the future will be difficult." โ
After Mama Jiang nodded in agreement, she sighed again: "Eldest princess, you mean that the eldest sister is planning for the future of the second girl." But the old slave only felt that if Qin Shizi lost the position of the prince and fought for fame by himself, wouldn't our two girls have to suffer for a few more years. โ
"Anyway, I can always help one or two, it's better than being held in the palm of Jiang's hand for half a lifetime. Ah Bao said it so clearly, let's see if Qin Lang's child can get a needle. The eldest princess sighed.

Early the next morning, the heavy snow had stopped.
It was just dawn, and Qin Lang stood alone at the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion without his entourage, asking to see the eldest princess.
The eldest princess hadn't had breakfast yet, and she was quite surprised to hear Mama Jiang report that Qin Lang was coming.
The eldest princess vaguely guessed that Qin Lang had already figured out that he planned to give up the position of the prince, and also knew why Qin Lang did not report to his father Zhongyong Marquis who came to look for her, but she appreciated Qin Lang's decision in her heart.
"Someone invite Qin Lang in." The eldest princess instructed Mama Jiang, "Let people prepare the car, I'm afraid I'm going to enter the palace today." โ
As soon as Qin Lang entered the main house of the Longevity Courtyard, he knelt solemnly to the eldest princess: "The grandson-in-law failed to protect his wife thoroughly, so that Jinxiu almost died, and he was ashamed of his grandmother and mother-in-law. Yesterday, when I returned home, I reflected on myself, my grandson-in-law took the position of the son of the loyal and brave marquis, but he had the name of loyalty and bravery, he was strong and healthy, he could not be loyal to the king, he could not solve his mother's worries as a son, he could not protect his wife's peace as a husband, he failed his parents, and he owed his wife. I am willing to repent and reform myself, ask myself to pass away, study hard, and hope that I will be able to become a useful person in my great Jin one day. โ
Qin Lang didn't sleep all night last night, he wanted to join the battlefield like Bai Jiaerlang to earn military merits, but he also knew that he was not that material, his skills were enough to save his life, and it would be difficult to kill the enemy in battle.
Since ancient times, military generals have been in power in wartime, and the civil officials in the world of peace have only sought fame for Qin Lang.
"Get up!" The eldest princess's eyebrows were full of relief, "You entered the palace with me after breakfast." โ
Qin Lang kowtowed again: "Thank you, grandmother." โ
Qin Lang knew that even if the Jiang family was looking forward to Qin Lang's invitation to die day and night, he would never let Qin Lang make a move when Bai Jinxiu had an accident, so Qin Lang spared the Marquis of Zhongyong and the Jiang family to beg the eldest princess.
Qin Lang has also had resentment in his heart over the years, and now he ...... Bai Jinxiu just had an accident yesterday, and today Qin Lang came to the Zhenguo Mansion to ask the eldest princess to take him into the palace and ask for the deceased son, and he wanted to put the Jiang family on the fire to roast the idea, he just wanted to tell the world that out of filial piety, he could not seek justice for his wife in his stepmother, and he was ashamed of his wife's room...... can only ask for the death of the son to suffer himself.
Yesterday, there was a commotion in front of the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, and everyone in the capital knew that Jiang Shi, a member of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, put his hand into his daughter-in-law's dowry.
Qin Lang made a decisive choice today, and after this series of actions, it will inevitably press the reputation of the Jiang family into the mud.
The eldest princess admired Qin Lang more and more, and seemed to be indecisive, but once she made up her mind, it was the speed of thunder, and she didn't use intrigue and trickery to make the Jiang family ruined, which was very powerful.
ยท
Kiyoki-in.
As soon as Bai Qingyan's morning exercise ended, she heard Chunyan say that Qin Lang went to his grandmother's courtyard this morning, and he had already gone out with his grandmother to prepare to enter the palace.
"The slave is really scared when I think about it now, fortunately it is not a girl who married into the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, that Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is really like a demon cave as the second lady said!" Chunyan helped Bai Qingyan, who was steaming all over, to the inner room.
Bai Qingyan frowned, listening to Chunyan's words, she felt tired in her heart, and before she wanted to reprimand, Chun Tao had already taken a step forward and said: "Don't say Chunyan's words again in the future!" โ
Chun Tao opened the curtain for Bai Qingyan, saw Bai Qingyan enter the house, and then said to Chunyan: "You are the big girl's personal girl!" Now the second girl is still lying on the bed, let others listen to your words, what do you think of our girl?! โ
"I'll talk about it in front of the girl!" Chunyan grinned, and Chun Tao stepped into the upper room.
Entering the house, Chunyan lowered her voice and said to Bai Qingyan as if flattering: "Girl, Tong Ji next to His Royal Highness King Liang came this morning, and he passed a message to the girl for King Liang, saying that His Royal Highness is fine, so don't worry about the girl." โ
Bai Qingyan clutched the handkerchief to wash his face, but he didn't die? It's a big deal......
knew that she should have bought a murderous ambush and stabbed King Liang's heart a few times to ensure that he had no chance of survival.
Bai Qingyan closed his eyes, suppressed his anger, and threw the veil into the copper basin.
Chun Tao was frightened and poked Chunyan's brain: "Why did you go to the people around King Liang again!" We're big girls, if anyone else sees ......"
"Sister Chun Tao, I know the severity!" Chun Yan interrupted Chun Tao's words with an unhappy expression, and leaned over to Bai Qingyan's side and said, "I'm not afraid that the girl will worry about His Royal Highness King Liang. โ
Bai Qingyan couldn't respond just by hearing the word "King Liang", and forcibly endured the discomfort in his heart and ordered Chun Tao to set up breakfast.
"Chunyan is sixteen this year, right?" Bai Qingyan asked.
Chunyan's ears turned red, and she said happily: "Back to the girl, the slave will be sixteen next month." โ
Bai Qingyan looked at Chunyan with a smile: "Chunyan has grown up and thought more, in the end, it is a big woman, when Mama Tong comes back, I will tell Mama Tong to pay attention to a good family for you, and then prepare a dowry for you, and it will not be in vain for our master and servant." โ
