Chapter 2 Obstacles to the Dissolution of the Marriage Contract
Jiang Yashuang only left on the front foot, and Su He entered the house with a fragrant hoof on the back foot, and said with a smile: "The maid came back soon, right?" β
"You're eavesdropping again?" Qiu Yulan heard what she said, and flew over.
Su Yiyi stuck out his tongue: "It's just that you went back to the inner room before you finished writing, just say it casually!" β
"He promised me to come today, this must not have been passed on by you, right?" Qiu Yulan sat down at the table, Su He put the casserole away, took out the dishes and chopsticks from the food box and put them on for her, and said innocently: "No!" The maid had never seen anyone outside of this courtyard here. β
Seeing that Qiu Yulan's mind had shifted to the milky white soup and the hoofs that were heavy and floating in the soup, Su Hefang said cautiously, "It's just that yesterday Mr. Shao said that you have a very good complexion, and the maid didn't carelessly say that you love meat now." β
In the past two years, Shao Yuemei has been teaching in Xihe Palace, and the number of students has not changed much, but she has changed - in the early winter of the previous year, Aunt Bian successfully gave birth to a son, Qiu Maozhi, and was successfully promoted from aunt to concubine. Aunt Tian, who was careful to protect her when she was pregnant, was of course rewarded, and after the pillow wind of this concubine Bian, Qiu Mingzhu promised a good husband, for fear of destruction by Princess Yang, she was busy out of the cabinet at the beginning of last year.
Now it is Wang Qingqian who replaces her vacancy.
Originally, Wang Qingqian's personality was simple and strong, and he was not very suitable for mixing in a big mansion, but at present, he is not a person who will easily cause trouble in the boudoir school, whether it is Sheng Shui or a swing. And Shao Yuemei's teaching quality is really good - Qiu Yulan thought to herself that even if she was not there occasionally, she couldn't mess up her school now, and her impression of Wang Qingqian was not bad, so she invited her to come after Qiu Mingzhu left, for fear of embarrassment, the reason for the invitation hacked Qiu Mingzhu: "The master who loves to cause trouble the most can be regarded as leaving, and my cousin doesn't have to be wronged when he comes over now." β
However, it is not yet the first month, and the boudoir school that was suspended at the end of last year has not yet opened.
The students went home for the New Year, and even Shao Yuemei was picked up by Princess Chunfu for a few days, and only came back yesterday.
So Qiu Yulan frowned when she heard it: "Mr. Shao only came back yesterday, so you can't wait to find her to sell me?" β
Su He heard her displeasure, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly said: "The maid knows her mistake!" β
"Don't make your own decisions in the future!" Qiu Yulan knew that she did this in the hope that she and Jiang Yashuang would be better, but everything was sold to people by her henchmen, which was inappropriate, and it also made her feel very unhappy.
This is also Su He, if she changes to a maid, she will definitely call people to resell it.
After striking Su He, she finished her hooves and continued to write the words of the dayβit was almost dark by this time.
After a sumptuous dinner, Qiu Yulan drank tea to relieve his greasy while waiting.
It didn't take long for Jiang Yashuang to lead two guards to carry all the food boxes and quietly come over: "Here are ten." β
Seeing Qiu Yulan's dissatisfied pout, he coughed dryly: "Didn't you want to give it to your cousin?" I'll send someone to send it directly, so that it won't be inconvenient for you to take it tomorrow." β
Qiu Yulan eased his expression at this time, and said sweetly: "Nineteen, you treat me so well!" β
"You just know I'm good!" Because the guards were around, Jiang Yashuang couldn't ask her for another kiss, and her eyes regretfully stopped on her red and glamorous little mouth for a moment before she smiled, "I'm going back, and my grandmother is still waiting for me to eat together." β
"Go, go, go." With the bear's paw in his hand, Qiu Yulan wished he had left early.
It's just that she moved a food box and put it on the table, and before she opened it, Su He hurriedly came in and said in a low voice: "Someone is here from Kang Lizhang." β
"What are you going to do?" Qiu Yulan was lifting the lid of the box for a moment, and asked with a sneer, "If you can't get along in Huainan Palace, do you want to go back here?" β
To say that the most unpleasant thing in her moisturizing little days in the past two years, that is, Kang Lizhang is out of control - this thing is also weird, a few days before Qiu Maozhi landed, Kang Lizhang's mother and daughter suddenly disappeared in the palace, and they didn't find it when they reported to Jingzhao, and when they heard their news in the middle of last year, Kang Lizhang had already entered the Huainan Palace!
Of course, she is a concubine, but in the past half a year, the news that King Huainan has favored the new favorite Kang family, and even to the point of losing the face of the concubine several times, is not a secret in Beijing. It is conceivable that although the former cousin Kang's status is not very good now, her life should be very nourishing.
She'll come to the door, eight times out of ten. Nine is what trouble has occurred - Qiu Yulan is in a good mood now, but she doesn't want to go to the muddy waters of Huainan Palace. So he didn't even bother to listen to the reason, and directly ordered: "Send people away, don't bother me!" β
Su He didn't move his feet, but said, "It is said that it is related to the concubine's things." β
"Oh?" Qiu Yulan frowned, Kang Lizhang had the objects in Concubine Lian's dowry in her hand, which she knew, when this cousin Kang had not been able to hide in the Huainan Palace, she had said that she would return everything to Qiu Yulan.
But at that time, there was no place to put it when the autumn trailing lan came; Second, I wanted to borrow this to knock Qiu Mengmin and his wife, so I said that I would leave her there for the time being. As a result, the mother and daughter of the Kang family disappeared inexplicably, and naturally they couldn't get it back.
According to her understanding of the Kang family's mother and daughter, it is impossible for Kang Lizhang to return it to herself innocently, so she frowned and said, "Those should have been mine, if she wants to use them to make a deal with me, it would be a wrong idea." Don't think that you can show off your power when you are in the middle of the king of Huainan, I don't eat that! β
Su He explained: "It means that an old picture was found in the concubine's things, and there seems to be a secret word on it. She didn't dare to make her own decisions, taking advantage of the fact that the young lady was about to give birth, and there were many people who came to deliver things in the past two days, so she sent a maid to bring you a message and ask you what to do? β
Qiu Yulan was stunned, and suddenly thought of the fact that Jiang Yashuang said that the real property of the Xihe Royal Mansion did not know where to go.
However, since this clue came from Kang Lizhang, she didn't believe it very much: "Don't be old-fashioned, anyway, let her bring things first!" β
Su He went to pass the word, and came back to inquire one after another: "County Lord, did you say that it was the one that the maid grandmother said?" β
"What are you talking about?" Qiu Yulan asked absentmindedly while gnawing on the bear's paw.
"After the current prince enters the mansion, the fields in our princess's dowry seem to be gone, hidden in the concubine's things?" Su He guessed.
Qiu Yulan pointed to the food box: "It tastes good, you can eat some too, and take a portion to Zhou's mother and them later, and they will all replenish their bodies." β
That's when he said, "So much? The palace has already made up for the makeup of the grandmother and the concubine, no matter what is on the old picture, there is no share of us! β
Su Yiyi thought about it, and felt a little angry: "So Kang Lizhang wants to seize this property?" That was the princess's dowry! Even if the palace made it up to you, it was carefully prepared by the old general for the princess at the beginning. β
"That's going to be her too." Qiu Yulan sneered and said, "If she can take it herself, you say she will come to me?" She can't get it, so she has to tell me! β
Qiu Yulan is actually not very interested in this matter, she doesn't value money very much, especially since her current net worth is enough for her to squander a few lifetimes, and the industry of Xihe Wangfu that is missing, at least eight million taels of silver-she really doesn't bother to get to the bottom of it.
At present, she is more concerned about another matter, "Has Deng Yi's whereabouts been clarified?" β
At the beginning, Deng Yi promised her that she would try to dissolve the marriage contract between the two, but more than two years have passed, and it is still an empty word.
Qiu Yulan didn't want to settle accounts with him, but Deng Yi was called back to Guangyang by Mrs. Gu the year before last, and basically never left the palace, not to mention, last year he took his mother back to his hometown to worship his father - Ruan Qingyan specially asked Qiu Feng and others to block him halfway to ask, Deng Yi swore at the time: "The elders in the family do not agree, and I will try to lift it when I return to Beijing." β
And then what? He hasn't come back yet!
Now whether it is Ruan Qingyan or Qiu Lulan or Jiang Yashuang, I am annoyed when I think of this!
If this guy is in his ancestral hometown, then it would be easy to do, send someone to chase him over and settle the account in person - this time he will definitely not be given a chance to get past it.
The problem is that Deng Yi didn't know what to do after the sacrifice!
The Gu family may know his whereabouts, but how can they tell Qiu Yulan here?
But his mother, Mrs. Gu, accompanied him back to his hometown, and he heard that he would disappear. In this way, the mother and son can't be found, and the various means that Ruan Qingyan and Jiang Yashuang have prepared in the past two years are completely useless!
At present, Su He asked Su He, and Su He replied cautiously: "No, I didn't hear from the person at the door that there was news over there." β
β¦β¦ If Deng Yi's mother and son really disappeared completely and had an accident, there would be a way to take advantage of the situation to solve the marriage.
The problem is that they left a letter before they disappeared, saying that Deng Yi wanted to study for a period of time and was not worried that his widowed mother was at home, and Mrs. Gu was also very willing to see the splendid rivers and mountains of Da Rui, so the mother and son simply went on a road tour of the mountains and rivers - came back after two years, and the letter also clearly asked Qiu Yulan to wait for him for two years - this is Chi. Bare. Naked repentance, repentance!
Qiu Yulan regretted that she didn't kill him when she was in Ganli Palace-maybe Empress Jiang could still protect herself?
But it's useless to regret it now, I can only hope that one day I can find Deng Yi and reason with him again!
Listening to Su He's answer at this moment, Qiu Yulan couldn't help but sigh upset.
Su He hurriedly comforted: "Didn't my cousin ask you to come over to discuss this matter tomorrow?" Maybe my cousin already has an idea? β
Qiu Yulan said listlessly: "It's not a day or two since my cousin is looking for someone over there, I see that Deng Yi's mother and son are clearly deliberately delaying time - with the cover of the Gu family, where is it so easy to find?" I didn't expect them to come like this before, and they didn't have the slightest defense. Otherwise......"
Otherwise, she wouldn't have had a headache!
In short, the next day, Qiu Yulan arrived at Ruan's house listlessly, Ruan Qingyan saw her like this, and was about to interrogate Jiang Yashuang about the reason why Jiang Yashuang sent the bear's paw yesterday, but he immediately swallowed his words, and only said: "I already have a clue about Deng Yi's affairs, don't worry." β
Qiu Yulan didn't believe it, and said perfunctorily: "I'm not worried, cousin, don't worry." β
"Since they don't want to come out, force them to come out." Ruan Qingyan took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Jiang Yashuang has found a stand-in similar to Deng Yi's appearance, and in a few days, the stand-in will break the marriage contract with you in the name of Deng Yi - only this rumor has come out, see if the mother and son can hide it!" β
Qiu Yulan was stunned for a while before she said happily: "Cousin, you are so smart!" β
Ruan Qingyan snorted: "What's so clever about such a simple idea!" He didn't give Qiu Yulan a chance to ask, and asked her about her current situation with a straight face - the focus was whether she had been in contact with Jiang Yashuang recently.
Although he knew in his heart that he couldn't control this cousin at all, he still mentioned his face, and then said, "Go and see the eldest sister in the back." β
"Is my cousin in any better spirits today?" After Ruan Ciyi returned to the life of the eldest lady when she was not out of the cabinet, it was not until the second half of last year that she broke off her self-esteem. Remnant thoughts, but then thinking about the lost children, in a trance all day long - anyway, all kinds of bad.
This made Ruan Qingyan and Qiu Yulan both worried and headaches.
Listening to Qiu Yulan's question now, Ruan Qingyan sighed a little tiredly: "It's still the same!" Let's talk as we go. β
The two brothers and sisters just went out, but unexpectedly, the next person came to greet them and said, "Little Marquis Ling is here." β
"Cousin, you go to entertain Ling Zui, I'll go see my cousin." When Qiu Yulan heard this, he said.
