Chapter 112 Misunderstood Hush Money
The next day, Ruan Qingyan did not come here in person. It was said that when he was playing martial arts with a guard, he was injured by the guard and had to recuperate for a few days before he could get up. However, Lian Jianhai came here accompanied by his son, Lian Ding. After a few words of greeting, they brought up the business directly.
What the father and his son of the Lian Family said was not as aggressive as Ruan Qingyan, but their polite att.i.tude could hardly hide their toughness.
Qiu Mengmin and his wife knew that it must have something to do with the current troubles of the Ding family and the Yang family, as well as the brothers of the Jiang family and Chunfu Princess successively came forward to support Qiu Yelan. These people and events had given the Lian family sufficient confidence. These were the people who wanted to have a closer relations.h.i.+p with Qiu Yelan.
And the Prince’s Mansion of Xihe once again became their pet.i.tion.
“It’s a shame to say that my son’s wedding is just around the corner. We are naturally very short of money at home. Two days ago, I began to take stock of the dowry of the old Princess and sister-in-law Ruan. Unexpectedly it let those who betrayed their master take advantage of the loophole. Yesterday, they burned the warehouse!”
Under such circ.u.mstances, although Qiu Mengmin couldn’t be rude because of the ident.i.ty of her official mother’s family, it was difficult for his att.i.tude to warm up. He said indifferently, “I think they are afraid of being held accountable. Now the suspected servants have been tied up outside waiting to be dealt with… Fortunately, with the list of your two families, I am not afraid of wronging my niece.”
When the father and his son of the Lian family heard that the warehouse was burned, they all thought that Qiu Mengmin was going to default on the bill. His face had darkened. However, there were twists and turns. Qiu Mengmin was about to admit it without even seeing the Fang family. They were relieved. They all felt that it was a good thing they came here today. It turned out that Qiu Mengmin could no longer make it.
“About that list…” With a sigh of relief, Lian Jianhai still worried that Qiu Mengmin implemented delaying tactics. He put it off again and again. Even if he admitted it, it was tantamount to not admitting it. He took advantage of the opportunity to ask him for a specific date.
Qiu Mengmin answered briskly, “Now my son’s marriage is only a few days away. Cousin, you also know that he is my eldest son. The Ding Family is now involved in the right and wrong again. If people were asked to account for the industry at this time, the affairs of the two children would be too desolate. And my niece is not yet married. I think after the bride is married, and then I’ll convert it according to the list and give it to my niece. After all, my niece will not suffer, okay?”
After hearing the words, Lian Jianhai frowned for a moment, and then said, “There is no loss in value, but the things left by the old Princess and Princess Ruan can be used to be missed.”
When Qiu Mengmin and his wife heard this, their hearts were moved, but their faces showed a look of regret, “Because I have never seen the dowry list of the old Princess and sister-in-law Ruan. The old Princess died suddenly that year. Many things were not explained. So after the ledger was lost, we really don’t know what belonged to our niece and which belonged to our family. Furthermore, the warehouse has been burned down now. Those things can’t be checked out.”
Lian Jianhai didn’t know what they were planning. Firstly, what he said was perfunctory. After all, it was only natural that a woman’s dowry should be left to her own flesh and blood. But nowadays, if you said bluntly, “That’s my money,” rather than said, “Those are the things that my grandmother and my mother left behind to be missed.” which showed elegance and filial.
Secondly, he saw that Qiu Mengmin didn’t make any excuses. He suspected that he was afraid that the Jiang family would take advantage of the condition, and he wondered if he could extort hush money as well.
Now that he saw Qiu Mengmin and his wife came up with a reason, Lian Jianhai pretends to be sad, “Aren’t there a few things left? Even if the value of what you supplement did not make the child aggrieved, it would not be the original thing of the old Princess and Princess Ruan, is it?”
The more he said this, the more Qiu Mengmin and his wife believed that those things had something to do with the missing big-head industry of the Prince’s Mansion of Xihe. Why were they willing to take them out? So they insisted that they had nothing. After being questioned again and again by Lian Jianhai, Qiu Mengmin simply admitted the mistake of “poor safekeeping” and offered some compensation to the Lian family and the Ruan Family, “The original thing is really unusable.”
According to Qiu Mengmin, what he said in order to close Lian Jianhai’s mouth. The dowry was compensated according to the price. Although it was not the original thing, it was also compensated. After all, there was no dowry list before. Furthermore, Qiu Mengmin took over the Prince’s Mansion halfway, and he could be forgiven for not knowing which things should be given to Qiu Yelan.
If the Ruan Family continued to insist on the original items from the Lian family, it would be too aggressive for them not to give a reason.
Lian Jianhai did not know that he took a free ride and had such a misunderstanding. His goal was achieved. He said a few perfunctory words with satisfaction, and no longer cared about it.
…
The preconceived Qiu Mengmin and his wife felt that this was because Lian Jianhai was afraid to arouse his suspicion.
In short, both sides ended the consultation with their own minds.
When the results of the negotiations were reported to Qiu Yelan, Mrs. Zhou, Su He and others were very happy, “Things are making progress!”
“I said in the morning that Your Grace broke her foot yesterday. The young master was actually injured by the bodyguard by accident. Could it be that the Prince was not reconciled to it, so he tampered with it?” Mrs. Zhou continued to say, “Now it seems that bitterness comes before sweetness.”
Qiu Yelan smiled guiltily, “My injury is fine. Anyway, I don’t need to go out recently… And Madam Shao’s school is only a few steps away.”
“Don’t do it!” Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said, “It’s okay for you to lie down these days. This time, although you don’t hurt your bones, you’re hurt pretty bad. If you left sequelae in your feet, you would be in trouble.”
She scolded Su He again, “Your Grace can’t sleep at night and wants to go out for a walk. You should be careful with Your Grace! When Your Grace fell, you didn’t wake us up right away. You didn’t report it until dawn. If Your Grace hadn’t protected you, I would have beaten you.”
Su He cleverly admitted that she was wrong, “I don’t serve Your Grace well. It is all my fault.”
“Uh, it’s not all the fault of Su He.” Qiu Yelan shrank her head. The wound on her foot was treated by Jiang Yashuang. In order to hide from Mrs. Zhou and others, she had to quietly ask Su He as a cover.
She was ashamed to see Su He being scolded at this moment. She quickly spoke for her, “It’s also my own fault. Suddenly I wanted to climb the pear tree. Su He advised me not to climb, but I didn’t stop.”
“I don’t mean to nag, but Your Grace is very precious. The former prince and the former princess are dead. If you don’t take care of yourself….” Mrs. Zhou sighed, and she painstakingly began to advise her not to fool around in the future. Mrs. Zhou didn’t leave until Qiu Yelan’s face was stiff with laughter.
She also let Chunran, Xiaran leave, only left Su He and said to her, “I’m sorry to let you be wronged.”
Su He looked at her as she reached out her hands to rub her face. Her small mouth beeped, “This is nothing, but Your Grace, can you stop making trouble?”
“That was an accident…” Qiu Yelan murmured with a little lack of strength, “I’ve never been hurt before, have I?”
Su He said angrily, “But now that we meet again and again in the middle of the night, who else do you want to marry? Chunfu Princess just came over. Although you let me leave, I can guess what the princess told you must have something to do with the little General Jiang! You have only met her Royal Highness a few times, and what you said was polite. Is she worth worrying about you? I think the last visit of the two young masters of the Jiang family were not the meaning of Chunfu Princess. I am afraid that Chunfu Princess came here to say today is the meaning of General Jiang, isn’t it?”
Qiu Yelan rubbed her forehead, “Well, Since you have to say it, I might as well tell you that Chunfu Princess did come for Jiang Yashuang. It’s just that I never thought that even Madam Shao has something to do with this matter.”
Su He was shocked, “Madam Shao!? What does the Jiang family mean?”
“Observe.” Qiu Yelan snorted, “Jiang Yashuang is quite sympathetic when he knows my situation because of the Persian cat. He doesn’t mean anything. But he is a man. It is not convenient for him to help me, so he asked his sisters to take care of me. However, his sisters and sisters-in-law all misunderstand and think that he has taken a fancy to me. As a result, they sent Madam Shao to be a spy.”
Su He was stunned for a while before saying, “The Jiang Family… How could the Jiang Family do this? You are the Commandery Princess. It is okay that they invite to you and see you at dinner. What do they mean by sending a person to our home?” Even if the imperial family chose concubines, it couldn’t say that they sent someone to the house of the concubines to observe them for a long time.
They didn’t take Qiu Yelan seriously.
“The Jiangs is in charge of half of the country!” Qiu Yelan sneered, “Last time in Yunyi Restaurant, it was the eighth young master of the Jiang family who wanted to give Jiang Yashuang a chance to take advantage of me, so he designed to lock us in a room… Their children do not even pay attention to the prince of the emperor. What am I, the Commandery Princess?”
Su He looked not good and said, “This…”
“I am still in mourning. If these things came out, what do you think would happen to me?” Qiu Yelan narrowed her eyes, “And what can the children of the Jiang family do? Do you think if the Jiang family really treated me as a wife-to-be, they would disrespect me like this?”
Seeing that Su He did not speak, she said, “Even if I did marry into the Jiang family, it would be my destiny to set rules all day long with the rank of Jiang Yashuang. Now I am more relaxed and happy. Why do you think I should make myself suffer?”
“Did the Princess Chunfu tell you about Madam Shao?” Su He was silent for a while, and suddenly said, “Why?”
“Jiang Yashuang knows about it. She is afraid of creating a gap with her brother, so she came here to explain it to me.” Qiu Yelan glanced at her, “Otherwise, I still think He Shuijin introduced me to a good gentleman!”
Su He whispered, “In this way, General Jiang treats you…”
“Anyway, we’ll talk about it in two years.” Qiu Yelan thought to herself that as a sister-in-law to someone like Jiang Yadan, she would lose ten years of her life. She really didn’t know what kind of life his wife, Little Tao, lived.
However, although Jiang Yashuang did not mean to like her, he gave in to her in every way. In this age of marriage, parents’ demands and responsible reasons were based on mutual affection.
The difference in the concept of this planet couldn’t be explained in a few words. All her previous reasons for refusing to marry had been solved by Jiang Yashuang. It was hypocritical to find new reasons. She might as well take a long-term view. Who knew what would change in two or three years?
“In this way, she seems to be using him as a s.h.i.+eld for the next two years… It is okay to take advantage of him. At worst, when we break up later, the Prince’s Mansion of Xihe will compensate my estate. I’ll give him some.” Qiu Yelan thought about it secretly, “As for the fact that he is not short of money or anything. Anyway, I only have such a conscience!”
After her conscience calmed down, she thought that after that, all she had to do was to recover quietly until Qiu Hong got married. By the way, she could send someone to visit Ruan Qingyan from time to time to dispel this cousin’s anger. As a result, she welcomed two groups of visitors within two days.
