"That's why you preferred the first branch all these years. Even if Kunlun came back to persuade you, you didn't want to follow…" Madame Tao twittered, "We thought that you appreciated Jiang Yayun. You know that the kids have grown up and they get married and have their own kids now. But brothers and sisters are not friendly to each other. It will hurt them if the elder is unfair and you still prefer the first branch. Are you ill-intentioned?""Just let it be!" Marquess Qin looked up at the top of the tent and said with no expression, "If I had been so cruel, I would have gone back to Kui County with my third brother to accompany my eldest brother, regardless of whether they were alive or dead. Just when Tianjiao died, the Jiang Family had no way to come back! Even though I don't have the energy to fight for these kids who are without conscience, I don't want to see the whole family being reduced to the situation in which the Tao Family and the Duan Family used t

There were signs that a war would break out in Xijiang. The court was prepared for it and so it was not a big surprise.But it didn’t mean that they could take it easy. The war was all about money. Even if nowadays Darui was still rich, fighting on two fronts placed a lot of stress!And at this juncture, the actual regent, Marquess Qin, was seriously ill, which could be traced to the remaining members of the Gu family. The internal struggle of the Jiang Family was no longer a secret... Things didn’t look good with all the mess that was going on!“It is a battle that can’t afford to lose!” Duke of Huainan Chu Xiao headed for Xue Chang as soon as he received the news of the war in Xijiang, “Prime Minister Xue, please give some advice!”Xue Chang screwed up his eyes and stroked his moustache, “As an official of Darui, how can I not hope that Emperor’s army can pacify Xijiang as soon as possible? But I don’t know anything about

"Mi Yinyin was kind of crazy already when she was in the Mansion of Sir Jibei, and then the Thirteenth Young Master wrote the divorce letter to her after she was sent back to her maiden family. Although it became a peaceful divorce after Madame Shi intermediated, she was no longer the thirteenth madame after all. Mi Yinyin became even crazier after she knew it." Su He gossiped about the things she overheard, "She was tossing around at home every day and it made everyone miserable. Although Old Madame Mi and Madame Chu loved her, they couldn't leave her to disturb the lives of other family members. So, they pampered and persuaded her into being sent away to stay at the village outside the city."Qiu Yelan asked, "When was this?""It was the days around last Lunar New Year's Eve. I think they were afraid that she might spoil the auspicious atmosphere of the festival, right?" Su He made her guess, "She stayed in the village for over a month. After the f

"Is Hong Shan pregnant?" Jiang Tianqi had a showdown with his nephew to deal with the situation after the pillar of the family fell. Madame Zhuang, who was waiting for her son in the fourth branch, had a pale face, "Are you sure?""Because she hasn't been pregnant for a long time, the doctor doesn't dare to confirm it, but he also says that she may well be pregnant." The servant sent by Madame Wen said cautiously, "Madame let me come here to ask you... What if Hong Shan is really pregnant?"Qiu Yelan, who was also waiting for her husband, had a twitch at the corner of her mouth, thinking that fortunately Chu Yitong had just been sent back to the yard by Madame Zhuang. Otherwise, she would be so annoyed.But Madame Zhuang was just as annoyed as her eldest daughter-in-law. After rubbing her forehead for a long while, she said lukewarmly, "What about Hong Shan herself? Would she like to be with Dan'er or would she like to marry another pers

But no matter how empty the national treasury was, it was not possible to keep highborn ladies from marriage. It was basically impossible to save on these expenses. It was no wonder that Marquess Qin treated Xue Chang so favourably. Faced with the amount of money the court needed to spend, if there hadn’t been a prime minister who was good at filling the national treasury without harassing the people, he would have exploited their people!Qiu Yelan sighed for a while about the pressure on the national treasury. And then she suddenly thought of Chu Chunxiao, “Chunxiao is about the same age as Yongfu. She is 20 years old this year. Even though Yongfu doesn’t marry, she has gotten engaged. It has been three or five years now, hasn’t it? They can’t continue to force her to marry the Duke of Puyang, can they?”Jiang Yashuang was reminded of this. He pondered for a moment and said, “All right, you should go to the palace in a couple of days and put the fee
