The next day. After Qiu Yelan washed and dressed up, she visited General Ruan as usual. She saw that Ruan Qingyan and Deng Yi stood at the left and right side of General Ruan's couch when she just entered. One beat his shoulders and another kneaded legs. They were attentive to General Ruan.She was stunned for a while. Deng Yi turned his head and stared at her fiercely while kneading General Ruan's legs. She suddenly realized—Ruan Qingyan must guard him as a thief. So, he had no chance to see her. And he stayed here because she had to come here to greet General Ruan.Sure enough, Ruan Qingyan, who was beating General Ruan's shoulders on the other side, said with a fake smile when she hadn't spoken yet, "You came, cousin? Come to talk with grandfather. I will accompany young master Deng to the study room—You are really toilsome this morning, young master Deng!"Deng Yi said with a grimace, "I have something to say to Commandery Princess Ningyi a

When Qiu Yelan rushed to Renqing Pharmacy the entire store, including the two-story small building which was used as accommodation place and storeroom behind the store, had been smashed beyond recognition. Fortunately, because it is the first lunar month and almost all shops on the street were close for the New Year, there were few people surrounded and watched. There were just so few onlookers, and they even dispersed after seeing her.This relieved Qiu Yelan, who was ready to face thousands of people's judgements in a jampacked place.But when she just got out of the carriage, she heard He Zifu's sigh, and he looked distressed, seeing the place not very far and saying, "Your Grace! Look there!"It was a plaque that was made by famous artists who were hired by Renqing Pharmacy when it started business dozens of years ago.This shiny plaque which had always been rubbed to almost like a mirror, was now smashed to few parts, and it w

“Thank you for arriving in time,” after Chu Weize and Chu Weizhou left, Qiu Yelan stopped pretending to be pity. She walked out from behind Jiang Yashuang. She curtseyed and said with a smile, “Otherwise, as an insignificant Commandery Princess, how could I stand up to Prince of Yan and Prince of Zhou?”She had a lot of things to deal with recently. Girls at her age were normally a little skinny at this time. Now she was so skinny that her lower jaw was pointy which made her face look more exquisite and delicate. Especially her eyes looked like peach blossom which made her always seem loving and tender even when she looked at people angrily. Now that she smiled which made her seem more loving and tender.As sophisticated as he was, Jiang Yashuang was still stunned by her beauty for a moment. Then he said with a smile, “You are welcome. Prince of Yan and Prince of Zhou may not be as glib as you.”“Prince of Zhou and Prince of Yan stand high abov

Princess Yang watched Qiu Yelan and the others walking away and holding their head high. She thought about the tens of thousands of taels silver note that she just paid and couldn't stop feeling heartbroken. She couldn't help telling Qiu Mengmin, "She is protected by Empress, but we have Empress Dowager stand behind, too! Why do we spend this money to reconcile and buy the peace?!""You know nothing?!" Qiu Mengmin's eyes were dark and deep, like full of fog and haze, and he said coldly, "Jiang Family had our family's handle about Qu Shan family's matter. Also, Li was indeed knowing clearly how our mother was expelled at that time. She was serving nearby and watching when the old Princess removed our mother's name from the pedigree book. If now we get into the palace, we will definitely suffer disadvantages!""... How about after the Lantern Festival?" Princess Yang paused for a moment and asked anxiously.Qiu Mengmin said, "After knowing Qu Sha

The Empress's Party also noticed the crisis—Qiu Mengmin even betted his title and his life in public. How could he be willing to make such a big bet if he was not quite sure?A moment after the turmoil of all officials, a level five civil official in a light scarlet robe came out with a dignified expression, "It is a big event. Is there any evidence?!"Qiu Mengmin raised his head. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Princess Yang who had not had a chance to intervene until now first, and then looked at the several people who were lying prostrate on the ground behind her, "The two old servants who served old Princess at that time can prove it! In fact, it is because of the two loyal servants that I knew that old Princess forgave my biological mother!"He arched his hand to the persons above the red footsteps, "I beg Empress Dowager, Emperor and Empress to allow them to prove for me!"The emperor sat there witho
