Real Empress from a Noble Family

Chapter 85 No Need to Explain to You!

A long time later, when Qiu Yelan was about to speak, Jiang Qisheng suddenly walked in. With a poker face, she rushed to Qiu Yelan without saying a word, and she slapped her!

Qiu Yelan would naturally not allow her to do that, so in a great surprise, she angrily dodged to avoid her attack, and shouted to Jiang Yashuang, who just stood up in shock, “You’d better explain it at once!”

Jiang Yashuang hurriedly held Jiang Qisheng and said, “Sister! What are you doing!”

Jiang Qisheng struggled to free herself but couldn’t make it. She gritted her teeth and scolded, “Get out of my way! Let me teach this shameless bitch a lesson!”

“What are you thinking? We are locked here!” Jiang Yashuang said angrily, “We have no way to get out of here, but could only stay together! Don’t talk nonsense about Commandery Princess Ningyi and ruin her good name!”

At this time, Tao Peibin also entered the room, and she closed the door afterwards. Hearing these words, she was sobbing, “Cousin Yashuang, you are always so nice to people. You are honest and treat others with sincerity, no wonder sometimes you are utilized. Do you know why we find here? Because Commandery Princess Ningyi hasn’t come back!”

Jiang Yashuang frowned, “I know....”

“Her maid Su He went back to private room to report. Sister was very surprised and sent servants to go downstairs to search. And it turned out that Prince’s Mansion of Xihe’s carriage was there, but the driver also said that he didn’t see her. So we asked the manager of this Yunyi Restaurant, but he said no one had ever visited Commandery Princess Ningyi!” Tao Peibin interrupted him, glancing somberly at Qiu Yelan , and said coldly, “We all think it should be Commandery Princess Ningyi’s excuse that she wanted to go somewhere secretly but didn’t want us to know! But sister Qizheng thinks it’s better to find her first in Yunyi Restaurant....”

Jiang Qisheng sneered and said, “19th brother, how long has Commandery Princess Ningyi been here?”

Jiang Yashuang’s face darkened, “Well, she has been for a while, but Commandery Princess Ningyi came here for a reason, not as you think.”

“Not as we think?” Jiang Yashuang was recognized as a good temper one among children of the Jiang Family and Jiang Qisheng was his older sister, so she immediately seriously reprimanded him, “You are kept home studying all the day by grandfather and grandmother, so you have never seen people’s sinister hearts. You know nothing!”

She glanced at the expressionless Qiu Yelan with a sneer, “Did she tell you that she was formerly with us in Baihe Woxue,” and then someone looked for her, so she went downstairs with a maid — but for whatever reason she got separated with the maid and came across you here?”

Jiang Yashuang was frozen: these are indeed what Qiu Yelan just said to him!

Jiang Qisheng knew that she hit the point, so the fury on her face turned more obvious, and she rebuked Yashuang in a low voice, “You have to think about it. There are so many people today. She is a guest and she is younger than all of us. So how could we let her go alone when we were all around? It was simply that she denied our sister’s good intention to accompany her but left in a hurry alone!”

“Why don’t you say that when Chunfu Princess wanted to accompany me to go downstairs, you immediately stepped up to talk with her and pulled her hands, so that she couldn’t go with me?” Qiu Yelan stopped her words coldly.

She now found out that Jiang Qisheng was not against her only because she hated her being close to Chunfu Princess, otherwise she would not be so merciless!

Although Qiu Yelan hadn’t figured out why she hated her so much and opposed her with such a great effort, after hearing Jiang Qisheng’s words — Qiu Yelan thought that unless Ruan Qingyan would die without marrying this woman, she would otherwise definitely disagree with this marriage! Thinking about this, she naturally lost her mood to continue to leave them a good impression. She began to fight back then!

Hearing the truth was told, Jiang Qisheng’s anger was even more growing, “What?! Did I need your permission to allow me to talk to my own cousin? Who do you think you are? Why I have to care about you?”

“How dare I ask a lady of Jiang Family to care about me?” Qiu Yelan said, with herself neither humble nor pushy, “I just praised the hairpin of the young lady of Tao Family was so beautiful, and Jiang Qisheng immediately said that I was stirring up trouble — I really don’t know what I’ve done offended you, so that you deliberately planned to frame me!”

Hearing this, Jiang Yashuang looked up at Tao Peibin’s head, and then said with surprise, “Isn’t this the hairpin that our grandma gave to Cousin Tao? What’s wrong with it?”

Of course, Jiang Qisheng and Tao Peibin wouldn’t tell the problem was just for the hairpin was given by Madame Tao. Tao Peibin, who focused on marrying Jiang Yashuang, paid special attention to the hairpin while Qiu Yelan knew nothing about it. Therefore, when she praised it without thinking, Tao Peibin, who had supposed her as a rival in love, suddenly felt offended.

So, Jiang Qisheng, who had always been close to Tao Peibin as her sister, naturally couldn’t bear to watch her cousin “being bullied”, and immediately jumped out to blame Qiu Yelan!

Facing puzzled Jiang Yashuang, Jiang Qisheng sneered, “Sure enough that the hairpin gave by grandma was great, but now Cousin Tao is here! She did not say anything about Cousin Tao, but only praised her hairpin. She definitely looked down on Cousin Tao! So, is there anything wrong that I said she stirred up troubles?”

Qiu Yelan’s long eyelashes shuddered for a moment, and suddenly her tears dropped, “So it’s all because I didn’t praise Miss Tao’s beauty? Today, it’s the first time that I meet with so many ladies. I should have forgotten how to behave properly and what to say just in the private room if Chunfu Princess and Young Lady He did not help me. I am so nervous and offend Miss Tao without knowing—”

While she was saying, she deeply bowed low to Tao Peibin, “I am young and ignorant. I hope you are generous and could forgive me.” she added, “In fact, Miss Tao is so beautiful, who would ignore this even if I forget to praise?”

“You—!” What Tao Peibin cared most about Qiu Yelan was her appearance. Even among her companions, she was not outstanding. So when she stood in front of Qiu Yelan, who was young and beautiful like spring flowers, her appearance suddenly turned to be even more ordinary and gloomy. Now, listening to Qiu Yelan’s apology, which was more like sarcasm, she fell into a rage. If Jiang Yashuang was not here, she should have torn up Qiu Yelan’s mouth now!

Seeing her trembling with anger and unable to speak, Jiang Qisheng felt much annoyed and pushed Jiang Yashuang hard. She said angrily, “Listen to these weird words! Do you still want to protect her?!”

“Enough!” Jiang Yashuang firmly stood, still standing in front of her. He always smiled, but now he had no smile on his darkened face, and he said, “There has never been a custom saying that people must praise the lady when they meet. Just for such a trivial matter, Qisheng and Cousin Tao, you two really make a fuss! Anyway, Commandery Princess Ningyi is also invited here by our sister!”

Jiang Qisheng was originally dissatisfied with Jiang Yashuang’s “affection” to Qiu Yelan, so she was furious after seeing this, “You are really seduced by this girl, aren’t you?! Even though your 8th brother, who was reprimanded by the elders as dissipated, has never been partial to the outsiders and made troubles to our family members!”

“Sister Qisheng, what did you say!” Jiang Yashuang was always guilty of being forced to sleep on the same bed with Qiu Yelan, and Qiu Yelan’s origin was so pitiful. So, even if he had known that Qiu Yelan was a troublemaker, he still had pity for her, plus he firmly believed that he was innocent with her—

First impressions were strongest, Jiang Qisheng had had a prejudice against Qiu Yelan, so she firmly claimed that the two have an improper relationship. Even though Jiang Yashuang had a good temper, he was also annoyed now, “Commandery Princess is entitled the second rank of lady, so her identity is much nobler than you, sister. So, no more these kinds of bad words to slander Commandery Princess Ningyi! Do you follow our Jiang Family’s rule!”

“You insinuate your own sister don’t follow the rules for her?!” The more he maintained Qiu Yelan, the more angry Jiang Qisheng was — Jiang Family’s members were always spirited and stubborn, so she kicked Jiang Yashuang directly and scolded, “People always say that the female would help outsiders, but our family now have a male turncoat! I really don’t know what was done by our ancestors to give birth to such....”

Tao Peibin stood nearby and wiped tears. She was just sitting there watching Jiang Qisheng help her. But now, hearing Jiang Qisheng’s words becoming more and more ridiculous, she was shocked and was about to stop her. However, Qiu Yelan, who was also standing behind Jiang Yashuang, showing her helplessness and pitifulness, said quietly before her, “If you feel unpleasant and want to punish me, just do it. Why do you say such bad words to your ancestors like this? In any case, they are your ancestors!”

Before she finished her words, Jiang Yashuang had raised hand and pushed Jiang Qisheng. Fortunately, Tao Peibin went forward to help, otherwise Jiang Qisheng should have fallen. The only time that Jiang Yashuang had been furious was when Jiang Qiyun tried to disfigure Jiang Qizheng. But as this time, he pushed her so hard, making his cousin sisters shocked!

Jiang Yashuang, the 19th young master, who had always be polite and always smiled to people, now became black in the face. His bright eyes were full of anger, and every single word he said was severe, “You are unreasonable! Madam Shao had taught you nothing for all these years! For such a misunderstanding, you even say such rude words to our ancestors! I don’t think I need to explain to you anymore!” He then turned around, and said to Qiu Yelan, “Your Grace, please follow me to back to another courtyard, and we could report all this to our grandmother. She would prove our innocence!”

Hearing this, instead of the former sobbing, Tao Peibin almost couldn’t control herself to howl on the spot — it was already “we,” how could you two be innocent!

Qiu Yelan greeted Jiang Yashuang’s deep gaze. Without fear, she said in a calm voice, “In my opinion, we should thoroughly investigate the person who locked us here. Who he really is! We don’t know whether we were locked by mistake, or someone did it intentionally, aiming us!”

She said so decisively and firmly that Jiang Yashuang’s doubts greatly dissipated, but he still said, “Your Grace, please go with me to see our grandmother!”

“No way!” Tao Peibin blurted out!

Seeing Jiang Yashuang ignored her, she turned anxious. She took a step forward and said, “Cousin Yashuang, did you forget? This Commandery Princess Ningyi is still in the mourning period, how could we take her to our mansion?”

“Commandery Princess is not wearing filial piety now.” Jiang Yashuang was so angry at the moment that he had no usual courtesy. He replied coldly, “And grandmother has never cared about this!”

“Grandmother—” Tao Peibin tried to persuade him, but he coldly stopped her, “I am raised by my grandma, so I know grandma better than you!” Tao Peibin fell into silence: well, she was Madame Tao’s own granddaughter, but nominally, Jiang Yashuang, this grandson not related by blood, were indeed much closer to Madame Tao than her!

However, she really didn’t want Jiang Yashuang to take Qiu Yelan back to see Madame Tao— Were she unaware of what is her grandmother’s attitude towards this matter? Madame Tao, although she did not support this as much as Princess Yongfu, she had never meant to object!

Further, she hadn’t had time to explain her feelings to grandmother. If Madame Tao feels good about Qiu Yelan, maybe she would directly support this marriage and promote their engagement for today’s matter. And then, what could she do?

So, Tao Peibin was speechless, but she quickly pulled the sleeve of Jiang Qisheng.

Jiang Qisheng was shocked by the sudden fury of her cousin brother, and she was unable to speak for a while. When Peibin pulled her sleeve, she misunderstood, and said angrily, “Well! Let’s go to grandma’s place, let’s go! I would like to ask grandmother to make a fair judgement about who is the shameless one!”

Jiang Yashuang ignored her, but only said to Qiu Yelan, “I’m sorry to make you go through all this today. I will definitely handle this matter and give you a fair result!”

This scene made Jiang Qisheng and Tao Peibin feel more distressed....
