The True Empress of the Noble Family
Chapter 4
...Happy Reading and Enjoy🍜....
Xiuyan is Princess Yang's secret butler, who was bought by the Princess herself a few years ago. He stepped in, looked at the chaos in the room and frowned gently, asking, “What happened? Princess Commando is out of condition now. Who is so awkward to decide something? “
Then he bowed to Qiu Yelan, “Princess Who sent me to visit you. But he was afraid that if I came here early, someone with bad intentions would see this and bother you with it. That's why I came so late.. How do you feel now? ”
“Thank you, Xiuyan!” Qiu Yelan sneered at herself, “They knew that I was almost beaten to death but still came here again and again. Who would visit a patient like this? They obviously want to make things worse! ”
But she must continue to express her gratitude, “Thank you to First Aunt today, or I might die like my mother now!”
“Please don't say that!” Xiuyan hurriedly said, “You are the Command Princess. Miss Yuqing was driven by a temporary urge to hit you. No one would dare kill you. You see, just now Prince Qiu also said that he wants you to rest well and get well soon! “
Qiu Yelan focused her mind, “First Uncle? Was the Jiang Family next door so powerful as to scare the Qiu Family? No, the two families are unrelated. Moreover, the Ruan Family was no match for Jiang Qianchuan. Fortunately they didn't come to hurt me. There was no way they would want to interfere in the affairs of the Qiu Family. “
Xiuyan recognized his astonishment and lowered his voice, “Actually when Prince Qiu heard what Madam and Lady Yuqing said, he also thought you killed Young Master Kang! Fortunately, Princess Yang defended you, and Prince Qiu trusted her .. The Princess has sparred firmly with Prince Qiu for you! Tonight, Prince Qiu did not sleep in Princess Yang's room but went to Lady Liu! “
Qiu Yelan was a little upset in her heart, “It must be true that Qiu Mengmin, Duke of Xihe, went to sleep in her concubine's room tonight. But it was probably because as a filial child he wanted to show respect to his mother, Lu! As for whether it was the result of a quarrel with Princess Yang, it was impossible. Today Princess Yang calls Empress Jiang, who meddles in politics directly and openly! Even the Empress Dowager, who interfered in politics for 30 years, could not deal with it. The Jiang Family Residence was just next to her, and the Empress mother lived there. Also, now the people from the Jiang Family came to ask why there was a voice in the Prince's Palace. He should feel grateful for Princess Yang's warning! “
But outside, she instantly showed her gratitude, “Fir... First Aunt was very kind to me! I... I really don't know how to retaliate! ”
“Please don't say that,” Xiuyan hurriedly handed over a handkerchief to wipe the tears and said gently, “Actually, the Princess has always treated you as a dear niece. But you know. The madam preferred Madam Yuqing in every way. That is why on many occasions, the Princess cannot speak for you and must leave you to feel sad for many years! “
“I know. In this family, other than my mother, only First Aunt cares about me! ” Qiu Yelan let out a long sigh and sobbed with a handkerchief in her hand.
Xiuyan's eyes twirled as his true intentions appeared. She said, “It is a shame that the Princess has deeply offended Madam, Lady Yuqing and the Prince! Furthermore, the Princess might be locked up in her room. At that time, I was worried that he would be unable to do anything to protect you anymore, even if he wanted to! ”
Qiu Yelan had known his true intentions, but still showed great panic on his face and almost sat down from his bed, “What? Then... I... First Aunt.... What should she do now? ”
“Mrs and Mrs Yuqing now must hate you so much!” Xiuyan pursed his lips and said in a low and deep voice, “so the only way is to let Prince Qiu speak for you!”
“But First Uncle ..” Qiu Yelan confused. His finger joints turned pale as he grasped the blanket too hard.
Xiuyan's eyes flickered, “I know Prince Qiu has an urgent matter now. If you can help with that.. ”.
The urgent thing? Qiu Yelan said hurriedly, “I can help First Uncle?”
“You know the Prince likes his eldest son the most,” Xiuyan said calmly, “the current Prince Qiu wants to get the position of First Young Master out of town, he said, but he needed 800 thousand taels of silver to make it happen! If you help him this time, won't he like you and treat you well? “
Qiu Yelan really wanted to check how much the dowry of her grandmother and mother was. 800 thousand taels of silver! The entire wealth of this Prince's Palace was around 2 million taels. Although Qiu Mengmin was a descendant of Duke Xihe, how could she dare to use nearly half of the family's wealth to find a position for her son to be shouldered by his concubine?
This is too much oppression for a child!
She thought Xiuyan would be kind-hearted because of her kind demeanor, but it turned out that she was more ruthless than Madam Fan sent by her cousin Kang Lizhang! Kang Lizhang just asked her to give her dowry. As for how much money he could get from the dowry, it was Kang Lizhang's business. However, Princess Yang instantly pegged the price of 800 thousand taels of silver. What if two dowries can't match this price?
Qiu Yelan's face turned pale, “So much money?”
“What are you talking about?” Seeing this, Xiuyan instantly became furious, “Princess Yang did so much for you and even offended the entire family, while you still have no idea how urgent it is? Alright, I'll come back to tell Princess Yang that you don't care about her kindness at all! ”
Xiuyan turned around and said angrily, “Why don't you have money? Princess Dowry and old Princess Ruan are yours! “
“Good?” Qiu Yelan said confusedly, “Where are they?”
Xiuyan. Then he looked towards her. Zhou and Su He, “Where is the list of dowries of Princess and Princess Ruan?”
“I don't know!” Madam Zhou's heart stopped beating and immediately replied.
Su He said angrily, “When our Princess died, Princess Yang and Lady Yuqing sent a maid to look for a dowry. They almost broke down the house but found nothing. This time as soon as Princess Commando returned, she was searched by the maids of Lady Yuqing, but still, they found nothing? ”
Xiuyan frowned, “although the dowry of Princess and old Princess Ruan was taken over by Prince Qiu when Princess Ruan passed away, without a list, many things were lost, he said, and no one knows where to find him. Small objects such as antiques or jewelry can be hidden in any corner of any store, let alone items and shops that the Prince of Qiu family does not know about.
He asked suspiciously, “You really don't know?”
“Because First Aunt was so kind to me, I told the truth, Xiuyan” Qiu Yelan sighed softly, “If I knew where the wealth was, why would I come back here?”
Xiuyan thought and agreed.
“I will ask Princess Yang when I return,” knowing that she can not get money from this visit, Xiuyan's attitude soon changes. Swinging his hand, he left with a grim face.
Your Majesty, we're in trouble now! Madam Zhou changed Qiu Yelan's blanket and said anxiously, “Kang's family asks for a dowry, while Princess Yang asks for money. But we couldn't even find a list of dowries. What are we gonna do now? ”
Qiu Yelan said to Su He, “See if anyone else comes. If not, close the doors and windows. “
When Su He returned and made sure no one eavesdropped, Qiu Yelan sneered, “That list has already been sent to my aunt's house a thousand kilometers away! If I died before marriage, my aunt would have someone bring a letter written by my mother and a dowry list to the capital for a lawsuit. Since the Duke of Xihe family has declined now, one might use this opportunity to rob a large portion of the Duke of Xihe industry! ”
Mrs Zhou and Su He were surprised, “What?”
“I am here right for it,” said Qiu Yelan gritted her teeth, “If I die today, in three months, this Xihe House will also not live long!”
After he said this, he heard a soft voice outside. The corner of his mouth curved upwards: It was only natural that Su He could not check this huge courtyard alone, and Xiuyan did indeed return to get more information. When the Qiu Family looked for that aunt and realized it was all nonsense, she would get the most precious time..!.
