Chapter 18: Midnight Private Meeting (Part II)
Although there are not many stars in the winter night, and they are far less bright and brilliant than the summer, they have a desolate and lonely artistic conception compared to the excitement of the stars on the summer night.
In the middle of the sea, Qiu Yulan quietly walked out of the Green Rose Garden, she was afraid of exposing her whereabouts, so she didn't carry a lantern, and secretly touched the back door of the General's Mansion according to the route written down during the day.
The back door was already closed by this time, but fortunately the door was tied from the inside and was not locked.
Qiu Yulan carefully pulled the door latch, and a light cough immediately came from outside the door: "County Lord? β
She didn't expect Jiang Yashuang to come early, so she hurriedly opened the door, and saw Jiang Yashuang outside the door wearing a purple or black coat under the night, holding a hat in her hand, and standing with a smile.
There are two dim yellow dead wind lamps hanging above his head, shining on him as bright as jade under the moon, the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, and there is a smile like a spring breeze, gentle and dusty.
Lonely men and widows, it is not appropriate to talk for a long time when they meet in the middle of the night. So Jiang Yashuang nodded at her, and asked bluntly: "The county lord sent a message for help, I don't know what difficulties I encountered?" β
"I want to break the marriage contract with Deng Yi, I wonder if the little general can give me an idea?" Qiu Yulan asked tentatively.
According to the customs at this time, women, especially unmarried women, were touched to bed, no matter what happened or not, it was a big loss. The man who did so had to marry her, and he couldn't give it up easily, because he was sorry for her first.
However, this is based on the fact that both parties are not married, and the two families are not far apart and are willing to marry......
Qiu Yulan didn't think that she had the strength to force Jiang Yashuang to marry her now, and she didn't have time to think about the lifelong events in this life now, so she said it more tactfully, lest Jiang Yashuang refuse.
After Jiang Yashuang heard this, his face was really gloomy.
Qiu Yulan saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and his heart gradually became disappointed.
"Deng Yi's preferences are different from ordinary people, if it is just him, it is estimated that there is no problem." Jiang Yashuang suddenly said, "However, I'm afraid his elders may not be willing to do this." β
Qiu Yulan thought to herself, but I'm afraid, there must still be a way. So he asked, "What does the little general mean?" β
"Mrs. Gu, Deng Yi's mother, actually prefers a noble girl with both parents and a hot temperament." Jiang Yashuang smiled and said, "Let's be honest: Mrs. Gu is not very satisfied with the county lord's family background. If the county lord's temperament also disappoints her......"
Qiu Yulan looked at him suspiciously, thinking that this mother-in-law, isn't it virtuous and virtuous to unify standards throughout the ages?
"The county lord doesn't believe it, so he might as well arrange for him to have a few words with Mrs. Gu. If this plan is fruitless, how about asking the queen to be the master of the county? Jiang Yashuang smiled playfully and said firmly.
If you alarm the queen, then eight times out of ten. Nine will be involved in the dispute between the two queens. After all, with the relationship between Deng Yi and the Queen Mother, the divorce itself is a slap in the face of the Queen Mother, how can Queen Jiang let go of this opportunity?
Qiu Yulan thought for a moment, felt that it was better to try his luck with Mrs. Gu, and nodded: "Then ......"
It was only halfway through her words that a voice with anger suddenly came from behind her, and said coldly: "No! β
ββ¦β¦ Cousin?! Qiu Yulan was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw not far away, Ruan Qingyan, who was wearing a white fox fur and had a blue face, striding over!
He held a cloak in his hand, and when he walked past Qiu Yulan's side, he threw it into her arms, but ignored her, but crossed over to her and blocked her behind him, before bowing to Jiang Yashuang, who was always smiling, and said with a gloomy face: "Although I don't know how my cousin asked General Jiang Xiao to appear here, I ask General Jiang Xiao to remember that my cousin is young and ignorant, and don't care about her rudeness!" β
Then he said, "What is the big deal about the dispute between the two queens?" Where is the cousin eligible to participate? I also asked General Jiang Xiao to find another good material and beautiful jade...... It's not early, so I can't send it far! β
Then he didn't care that Jiang Yashuang hadn't answered, and directly slammed the door in front of him!
"Hey......" Qiu Lulan was caught by him, and he was depressed, but seeing that he closed his hopes out of the door so neatly, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Cousin, you ......"
"Go back!" Since the first time the two met, Ruan Qingyan, who has always been kind and fond of her, is full of anger at this moment! His voice was as cold as ice, and he looked at her, and the fierceness and evil intent at that glance made Qiu Yulan subconsciously stop his mouth.
Ruan Qingyan strode out of a stone's throw before he suddenly stopped, turned around without saying a word, picked up the cloak that Qiu Yulan was holding, and put it on for her, Qiu Yulan saw that his face seemed to soften, and he wanted to explain: "General Jiang Xiao, he ......"
"I'll tell you!" Ruan Qingyan neatly tied the tie of the cloak into a wishful knot for her, and straightened the collar of the cloak with fox fur, while doing this, he said in a very soft voice, "If there is no grandfather lying in the house, and you asked someone to come tonight and left traces." I promise - I'll skin that kid outside the door with my own hands!! β
β¦β¦ In my previous life, my own father who killed zombies and enemies was like chopping vegetables, wasn't he as ruthless as you? It's just a couple of words, and the mountains and seas are gone...... You have to know that I have shared the same bed with Jiang Yashuang for more than an hour, and I still have to destroy the Jiang family?
Qiu Yulan sneered in her heart, but looking at Ruan Qingyan's current face, she continued to shut up with interest.
"What is your relationship with that surnamed Jiang?!" Back in the Green Rose Garden, Ruan Qingyan sent all the subordinates away with a blushing face, and when there were only two brothers and sisters left, he immediately interrogated him sharply!
ββ¦β¦ The cat that Kang Lizhang returned was actually picked up by me. Qiu Yulan said obediently.
Ruan Qingyan asked coldly: "Since the Xihe Royal Mansion let Kang Lizhang impostor, how does the person surnamed Jiang know that the person he picked up is actually yours?" β
"Uh...... Because...... Because Su He happened to go out today, and when he met him, he told him. Qiu Yulan was stunned and said.
Ruan Qingyan laughed angrily: "He just believes it like that? And then for this little favor, it's almost the New Year's Day, and the third watch came to the appointment alone in the middle of the night?! Aren't you afraid that you will collude with the Queen Mother or someone else to murder him?! β
"Didn't you say that I asked him to leave traces in the Jiang family......" Qiu Yulan muttered in a low voice, seeing that Ruan Qingyan's face was even more angry, he was about to open his mouth to refute, so he simply turned his heart sideways, slapped the table heavily, and shouted, "It's an inside story, but I just won't tell you!" You're just going to kill me, and I'm not going to tell you! β
"You ......!!!" Ruan Qingyan jumped a few times on his forehead, and grabbed the teapot in angerβQiu Yulan thought he was going to fall to show himself, but as a resultβhe poured a hot tea in front of her, and changed his tired tone, "If you don't say it, you won't say it, but don't meet people in private in the future...... I have an idea about retiring from my family, do you believe me? β
