Chapter 4: Jackal Relatives (Part II)

Xiuyan is the confidant of Princess Yang who bought it back a few years ago, she stepped into the door, saw the wolf in the room, frowned slightly, and said, "What's the matter?" The county lord is not good now, who would break something so clumsily? ”

He saluted Qiu Yulan again, "The princess sent her maid to see you, just because she was afraid that she would be seen by someone with a heart too soon, and she would come to embarrass you again!" This has dragged on until now...... How are you doing now? ”

"There is Sister Lao Xiuyan!" Qiu Yulan sneered in his heart: "I know that I will be beaten to the point that I have only one breath left, and I still have to run over again and again, is there such a visitor?" It's just a toss! ”

But he had to continue to say words of gratitude, "Thanks to the eldest aunt today, otherwise, I would probably have gone to accompany my mother by now!" ”

"Don't say anything like that!" Xiuyan hurriedly said, "You are the lord of the county, if Mrs. Gu hadn't been confused, where would she really dare to kill you?" No, the prince also said, let you recuperate well and get better soon! ”

Qiu Yulan's eyes condensed slightly: "Uncle? "The Jiang family next door is so intimidating? No, the Jiang family has nothing to do with the Qiu family, the Ruan family used to be on the same page with Jiang Qianchuan, it would be good if they didn't come to the well for themselves, how could they bother with the Qiu family's affairs?

Xiuyan saw her surprise and lowered her voice: "Originally, the prince listened to the words of the old lady and the aunt, and also thought that you killed Kang Gongzi!" Fortunately, the princess argued for you, and the prince believed it...... The princess has a big dispute with the prince for you! Tonight, the prince didn't live in the main house, and went directly to Aunt Liu! ”

Qiu Yulan sighed slightly in his heart: "It is estimated that Qiu Mengmin, the king of Xihe, lived in the concubine's house tonight, but this should be that he, a filial son, wants to give face to the Lu family!" As for saying that it was because of the quarrel with the princess, it is impossible: Princess Yang brought out Empress Jiang today, this Empress Jiang is a figure who is upright and upright, and even the queen mother, who has been regent for 30 years, is helpless! Next door is the Jiang family's courtyard, and the queen's mother lives next door, and the Jiang family just came to question because of the noise in the palace...... Qiu Mengmin, how dare he let me die on this eye bone? He was grateful to Princess Yang for her reminder, but it was too late! ”

However, she immediately came to a grateful face: "Big ...... My aunt treats me so well! I...... I...... I really don't know how to repay my aunt! ”

"Don't say that." Xiuyan politely handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said softly, "Actually, the princess has always regarded you as her niece, but you also know that the old lady is partial to Mrs. Gu in everything, and the princess can't say anything about many things." That's why you've been wronged all these years! ”

"I know, in addition to my mother and concubine in this family, my aunt also misses me!" Qiu Yulan sighed deeply, held the handkerchief and choked.

Xiuyan's eyes fluttered, and she said: "It's a pity, this time the princess offended the old lady, aunt and prince for you!" The princess may be grounded next...... At that time, I just want to protect you! I'm afraid too...... There is a weak heart! ”

Qiu Yulan had roughly guessed her purpose, but she still looked panicked and almost got up: "What?!" That...... Then I'...... The great aunt...... What now?! ”

"The old lady and the aunt must hate you to death!" Xiuyan pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "So the only way to do this is to let the prince speak for you!" ”

"But the eldest uncle, he ......" Qiu Tuolan's six gods have no owner, and the knuckles holding the quilt are white due to excessive force.

Xiuyan's eyes flashed: "The maid knows that the prince has an urgent matter at the moment, if the county lord can help......"

"In a hurry?" Qiu Yulan said in a hurry, "I...... Can I help my uncle? ”

"The prince likes the eldest prince the most, you know." Xiuyan said unhurriedly, "Right now, the prince wants to find an errand for the eldest prince, and he needs 800,000 taels of silver to take care of it!" If you are willing to help the eldest prince this time, are you afraid that the prince will not love you? ”

Qiu Yulan really wants to look through it now, how much is the dowry of her grandmother and mother - 800,000 taels of silver! The belongings of the palace are estimated to be around two million taels, even if Qiu Mengmin is the hereditary king of Xihe, he dares to take nearly half of his belongings to pave the way for the eldest son of the concubine? !

This bullying of children is too much!

I thought that the embroidery and the amiable would be gentle, but it turned out to be more ruthless than the cousin Kang Lizhang who came to Fan's mother! Kang Lizhang just asked her to hand over the dowry, as for how much silver it can be exchanged for, it is Kang Lizhang's problem. Princess Yang directly set the price of 800,000 taels of silver, if the two dowries can't make up this amount......

Qiu Yulan's face changed color and said, "So much money?!" ”

"What are you talking about?" Seeing this, Xiuyan immediately turned her face, "The princess has offended the whole family after she is busy for you, aren't you in a hurry?" Okay, I'll go back to the princess, you don't care about the heart she you! ”

"Sister Xiuyan, wait!" Of course, Qiu Yulan wanted to call her, and said anxiously, "It's not that I refuse to pay, but ...... But I don't have any money! ”

Xiuyan turned around and said unhappily: "Why don't you have any money?" Aren't the dowries of the old lady and Princess Ruan all yours?! ”

"...... this?" Qiu Yulan said blankly, "But where is it?" ”

Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhou's mother and Su He: "The dowry list of the old lady and Princess Ruan?" ”

"The old slave doesn't know!" Mother Zhou sighed in her heart and said immediately.

Su He said angrily: "After our princess passed away before, Princess Yang and the people sent by Mrs. Gu almost demolished the house and found it, but they didn't find it. This time, as soon as the county lord came back, he was searched by his aunt's people, and he didn't ...... How do we know? ”

Xiuyan frowned: Although it is said that the marriage between the concubine and Princess Ruan, after Princess Ruan's death, the palace began to take over. But there are many things that are nowhere to be found without a list, and small pieces of antiques and jewelry can be hidden in the corner of any shop. Not to mention the title deeds and shops that the people in the palace don't know.

She asked suspiciously, "You really don't know?" ”

"Auntie is dedicated to my good, and I will tell you the truth with Sister Xiuyan." Qiu Yulan sighed faintly, "If I knew about those industries, what would I do when I came back this time?" ”

Xiuyan thought about it too.

"I'll go back and ask the princess." Knowing that she couldn't get the money this time, Xiuyan's attitude immediately deteriorated, and she shook her hands away with a gloomy face!

"County Lord, I'm in trouble now!" Mother Zhou changed the quilt for Qiu Lulan, and said anxiously, "The Kang family wants a dowry on the side, and Princess Yang wants money again - but we can't even find the dowry list, what can we do?" ”

Qiu Yulan asked Su He: "Go out and see if anyone else is coming?" If you don't have one, close the doors and windows. ”

When Su He came back to confirm that there would be no ears on the wall, she sneered, "The dowry list has already been sent to my aunt's house thousands of miles away!" In the future, if I die at home before leaving the cabinet, my aunt will send someone to Beijing with the mother's handwritten letter and dowry list to cry out for injustice...... With such a large amount of money, there will be a lot of people who are interested, just with the current decline of Xihe Palace, it is strange that no one will take the opportunity to bite off a large piece of meat from the property of the palace! ”

Zhou's mother and Su He were surprised: "What? ”

"I'm willing to go out this time, that's what I did." Qiu Yulan gritted his teeth and said, "If I die today, within three months, don't think about this Xihe Palace!" ”

After she said this, she heard a slight movement outside, and the corners of her mouth were secretly hooked - sure enough, Su He couldn't check such a large courtyard, and Xiuyan did kill a horse pistol...... In this way, it seems that her plan to delay the army should be feasible, and after the Qiu family proves from that aunt that what she said just now is complete nonsense, she has already bought the most precious time!
