Real Empress from a Noble Family Chapter 368

Published at 8th of August 2022 01:09:34 PM

“Son of b*tch! Go to the h*ll!” Ou Qinglan was tied up tightly. Though she was good at kung fu, she had no choice but to be thrown into a bed and be raped by Kuang Qingwu.

She said through gritted teeth, “I will cut you into meat one day!”

Kuang Qingwu was on top of her. His lips almost touched her face, while in his eyes there was no other emotion but an endless storm. He smiled frivolously, “I hope you can survive from Qiu Jinglan's subordinates. Just now I forgot to tell you that those women all died within three days after I rewarded them to those guys. Qiu Jinglan is inconvenient to come in or go out. If he wants to come here, he at least needs five days.”

He unzipped her dress with his hands. His eyes turned to dark, “If you still want to see Qiu Jinglan again, be good. If you can satisfy everyone, you will be alive when he arrives. Hha!”

Kuang Qingwu burst into a wild laugh. He was about to tear Ou Qinglan's robe, while the door was knocked.

“What?” The anger glowed in Kuang Qingwu's eyes. He asked in a cold voice.

“Master… Master! Mr. Zheng fainted suddenly!” A trembling voice sounded outside.

Kuang Qingwu was shocked after hearing the message, “Zheng?”

Before knowing the real identity of Ren Ziyong, Kuang Qingwu attached great importance to Zheng. After knowing that Ren Ziyong was a spy, Zheng became the most important person in his heart.

Indeed, Zheng was in poor health these days. Kuang Qingwu wanted him to lie in the bed to have a rest, but Zheng was used to serving him. If he could get up, he would not have a rest. Could it be that his condition got worse?

Kuang Qingwu hesitated. He thought it was not in a hurry to humiliate the fiancee of Qiu Jinglan. He got dressed as soon as possible and walked out. Seeing a subordinate kneeling on one knee not far away with a nervous expression, he was more anxious than before. “What happened? Didn't I ask Zheng to lie in bed for a while? Why did he faint?”

“Mr. Zheng said master today was enraged. He told the chief to make some soup to mollify you. He just said a few words and was about to leave…” The subordinate said carefully, “Now we have sent him to the bedroom. The doctor said his physical condition was poor.”

“Let me have a look!” Kuang Qingwu said sullenly. He walked several steps. Seeing the subordinate following him, he gave an order, “Go to supervise the woman in my room!”

“Yes, Sir!” The subordinate stopped as soon as he heard the order.

A few moments later, Ou Qinglan heard that someone came in and looked at the door viciously, only to see a man in a grey garment. The man noticed her sight and so he made a gesture to let her be silent.

Ou Qinglan was puzzled. When she was about to say something, the man lunged at her. He quickly cut off the ropes and passed her a leather pouch. He whispered urgently, “A horse has arranged. I will send you out right away. After you go out, let the horse guide you. Please quickly go to Shazhou to send the message!”

At this moment, in Shazhou…

In a dedicated yard in the old mansion of Xingkang Grand Princess, Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing were playing chess near the window.

Their ability to play chess was equally matched.

However, at this moment, Jiang Yayue completely defeated Jiang Yaqing.

“Yaqing, you are so out-of-condition today. What happened?” Seeing this circumstance, Jiang Yayue put down a chess piece and asked.

“I don't care Ling Zui. He is not our relative or friend. Whether he is alive or departed does not matter.” Jiang Yaqing was seen through. He didn't deny his words. He sighed, “But Jiang Qizheng is our cousin. She has a good personality. When she was at home, she was caring and attentive to us.”

Jiang Yayue smiled, “Don't forget it was because of her partiality to Qiu Yelan, Jiang Qisheng had to marry far away to Beijiang. Have you forgotten how grieved you were when Jiang Qisheng got married? She is your sister!”

When he said that, he showed a sardonic expression, “While Jiang Qisheng didn't get along well Ou Bikong these two years. Didn't you know that when you were in Beijiang?”

“Jiang Qizheng told the truth that time!” Jiang Yaqing shook his head. “It was Jiang Qisheng's fault. We can't blame Qizheng. Besides, if that thing didn't happen, my father would marry her to the guy in the Northern Army, either. You don't have to say this word to deceive yourself. It sounds boring!”

He sighed, “Xing and her brother Ou Bicheng were born in Beijiang. We almost watched them grow up. When she was a little child, I held her frequently.”

“Hum!” Jiang Yayue was disdainful, “Now there is nobody else here. Why are you so pretentious?” He squinted, “Don't forget the message sent by pigeons! Qiu Yelan is pregnant! Think about the talent and achievement of the kid's father and his uncle! If that kid is a boy, how can our second grand uncle not take the kid as a treasure?”

“Qiu Jinglan is already tough to handle. Though he was appointed to join hands with Han Jishan by our second grand uncle to force us, he has achieved nothing for now. He has no choice but to hide in the mansion to drink tea and appreciate flowers to kill time. If he has a nephew to support him, how much advantage do you think we can take?”

“Why don't we get rid of Qiu Jinglan when Jiang Qizheng goes west defenselessly so that we can stir up animosity among the forces of the fourth branch. Otherwise, how can we beat those guys of the fourth branch, who are preferred by Empress Dowager and own the power of military?”

Jiang Yaqing frowned, “I am just mournful when thinking of the affection we used to have. In fact, if we disclose that Kuang Qingwu is commanded by Qiu Jinglan, it is enough to kick him out.”

“What's done is done. You don't want to quit, do you?” Hearing his words, Jiang Yayue's face was downcast. “You agreed on what we did at the beginning. Are you trying to be a nice guy now? If you quit and confess, though our second grand uncle may let you go, do you really think our fourth uncle will let you off?”

There appeared enmity on his face, “These years we worked for the fourth uncle. Aren't you tired of being suppressed? Don't you know his character?”

Jiang Yaqing sighed, “An arrow fitted on the bow-string can't avoid being discharged. I don't regret it. But Jiang Qizheng is our sister. Xing is also like our sister. I just can't bear to hurt them.”

“Think about how to explain to our second grand uncle rather than pity them!” Jiang Yayue put down a chess piece and said cynically, “Don't forget he reminded us of the relationship between Kuang Qingwu and Qiu Jinglan. Otherwise, we couldn't get in touch with him before we arrived at Shazhou. I think our second grand uncle wanted us to kill Kuang Qingwu to weaken Qiu Jinglan's power. However, we will use him to frame Qiu Jinglan. Our second grand uncle is shrewd. I'm afraid that it will be hard to deceive him.”

Jiang Yaqing frowned, “Don't you said if we let Jiang Yadan go, we can muddle through this stuff?”

“Sure!” Jiang Yayue dropped a chess piece, “Now that Jiang Qizheng has been married, she is not one of the members of the Jiang Family anymore. In special, the one she married is just a populist. He even doesn't know how to appreciate favors! It is obvious that our second grand uncle doesn't care too much about Jiang Qizheng. As for Xing, you do cosset her. But if our second grand uncle doesn't care about Jiang Qizheng, how can he care about Xing? Not to mention Ling Zui. So, even if our second grand uncle saw through our plan, if Jiang Yadan were safe and sound, he would conceal it for us!”

He squinted, “After all, our second grand uncle never wants to see the fourth uncle regards the first branch and the third branch as enemies, does he?”

“You are forcing grandfather!” Jian Yaqing sighed, “He is old. No matter how astute he is, he will be heartbroken! Such a thing can only happen once!”

Jiang Yayue smiled, “Of course!” He sneered in mind, “Definitely happening once is not enough! This time I will accuse Qiu Jinglan of managing subordinates improperly, making Kuang Qingwu rape the girls to death. As a consequence, I can completely resolve the threat which is brought by the fourth branch in the Western Army. You, the third branch, will be the next one!”

He didn't know at the same time Jiang Yaqing was considering, “He is ambitious. He even doesn't care about kinship when he tries to gain military leadership. Though this time I agree, the predominant one is him. I can say I was deluded by him after the stuff happened. Whether should I find a chance to give away the thing to grandfather? Will he be angry? Will he kick the first branch out of the Western Army as a punishment?”

“Though grandfather doesn't care Jiang Qizheng too much, she is the only daughter of the fourth aunt of the fourth branch.” Jiang Yaqing thought quickly, “Though grandfather can let it go, her mother won't! If I inform positively and think of a way to pass the buck… If her parents revenged for their daughter, they would aim at the first branch. That means I would have a helper.”

When the cousins were intrigued by each other, Qiu Jinglan went out of Shazhou with followers.

“Young master, do you think Han Jishan is reliable?” After they left the city, they galloped for a while. When they slowed down, Ruan Yi caught up with him anxiously. He asked in a low voice, “Young Earl Ling, Chunfu Princess, and the daughter of Jingbo. Despite young Earl, who is a man, others are ladies. Besides, the daughter of Jingbo hasn't even got married yet. If the news that she is abused were given away, Jingbo would surely ask you to give him a good account.”

“If we want Kuang Qingwu to think that the recruits were sent here by the first and third branches, we can assemble some guys from the central plains. Why do we have to lend from Han Jishan?”

Ruan Yi thought that was dangerous, “Not only we can't control the situation of the Young Earl Ling and the girls, but we also give him a thing that he can threaten you, which is…”

“This thing is of the utmost importance. If I don't let him know, do you think he will spare no effort to help me?” Qiu Jinglan sneered, “Besides, my subordinates are trained as assassins. They are completely different from those who are battle-hardened. Though it may be hard for you to tell the difference, Kuang Qingwu, the guy who grew up in the western army, can. The assistants who are sent there to help him by the first branch and the third branch are elites from the Northern Army. Except for the elites in the Western Army, can anyone else pretend to be them?”

“If we gave the task to lurk in Kuang Qingwu's place to Han Jishan's henchmen, we would not only prevent Kuang Qingwu from seeing through, but also get him involved.” Qiu Jinglan sneered, “If he got involved, do you think he would weasel out when I was revealed? I have a brother-in-law, who can intercede for me in front of Marquess Qin. What does he have?”

He paused and then continued, “As for how to protect Ling Zui, Han Jishan is a temporary commander of the Western Army. If he can't achieve this thing, he can quit! Don't worry. The only thing we should be anxious about is how to face Marquess Qin!”

Ruan Yi was confused, “Marquess Qin? This time we can find evidence that the first branch and the third branch collude with Kuang Qingwu to murder the daughter in the fourth branch and kids in the Ou Family and the Ling Family. Will Marquess Qin be partial to them?”

“Why not?” Qiu Jinglan sneered, “Don't forget Kuang Qingwu will assert emphatically that he is appointed by me to attack the army of the Jiang Family!”

If Chunfu Princess and Miss Ou die, under the pressure of the Jiang Family and the Ou Family, Marquess Qin may track the thing down and not let the first branch and the third branch go!” Qiu Jinglan squinted, “If the girls are fine, Marquess Qin will believe that I am the wrong guy. But for my sister, I have to protect them. Otherwise, Jiang Yashuang and my sister will alienate with each other!”

Ruan Yi changed his expression, “So now?”

“We should get them out of here at first. According to the plan, we can find Jiang Yaqing and Jiang Yayue to talk about the thing. We just save the reputation of being righteous!” Qiu Jinglan sneered, “As for Marquess Qin, we just wait for Jiang Yashuang to speak for us. I just hope that he means a lot to Marquess Qin.”
