Chapter 22 Fight Between Mother and Daughter-in-law
"What is going on?" Along with the rebuke, a whole set of grape pattern porcelain bowl was smashed from the top of the stairs. The lid of the bowl grazed through Qiu Yelan’s hair and broke into pieces on the floor behind her.
Above the stairs, Empress Dowager Gu’s eyes had a piercing gleam. Her angry face implied her intention to kill.
Emperor and empress who sat a little lower than Empress Dowager were watching her blowing off her steam calmly. Four people kneeling below the stairs had different looks. Qiu Yelan who had no connections was looking down timidly. Gu Yan and Deng Yi were scrambling to talk about their grievances. Jiang Yashuang was calm. Seeing Qiu Yelan looking at him, he was chill enough to give her a smile. He obviously had a lot of confidence in his Empress aunt.
He was Empress’s biological nephew after all. And he had a biological grandfather who was called the Defender of the State.
Qiu Yelan bit her lips anxiou

"You want to learn Kong Fu from me?" Qiu Yelan stared at Deng Yi, "If you ask Gu Yan, you can have top masters at your pick to be your teacher. Why me? And what would you expect to be my student? You can stay at General Ruan's Mansion or Prince's Mansion of Xihe? Or you expect me to stay at Prince's Mansion of Guangyang?"Faintly, Deng Yi said, "Your martial arts were taught by General Ruan in secret right? How often could you meet with General Ruan before?

You are first-class Commandery Princess. You don't have to be restrained.""Thank you, Your Majesty!"
