Chapter 465: Concubine Liang comes to visit
Jiang Han clung to her like a servile creature, and if he had a tail, he would have wagged it like a hawk. He coaxed Concubine Xian into giving him a good laugh while she argued with him.
"Master, even if you don't want to acknowledge me as your disciple, you still have to acknowledge me as your daughter-in-law, right? I'm your son's biological daughter-in-law. Can you really not acknowledge me?"
"Humph, now you know you're my legitimate daughter-in-law? This isn't the time to try to be stubborn in front of your sister, is it?"
"What you said doesn't make sense. She's my sister, right? She's the one who's protected me like the apple of my eye since I was little!
Didn’t I say that when I was in the palace? How could my elbows bend outwards? They all bend inwards!"
The virtuous concubine rolled her eyes at her in annoyance.
"Oh, so according to you, your sister is your wife, and we are outsiders?
If you marry and become the Princess of Shun, and if something bad happens to you, will you be the first to abandon your husband and mother-in-law and go straight to your sister?"
"...What ifs? If I were to run into trouble, I'd definitely rely on my sister to save me! So, mother, you'd better clear your mind. Your son and future generations will still depend on my sister for their livelihood!"
The expression on Jiang Han's face was very clear. If anything really happened, she would definitely choose to stand on her sister's side. This made the Concubine Dowager, who had originally said something sarcastic to her, very angry.
"You stinky girl, just make me angry!"
I have seen many filial sons and daughters, but this is the first time I have seen a girl who is so filial to her sister.
"Go, go, go! Hurry back and find your mother. Leave this palace alone, or I'm worried I won't live long!"
Jiang Han blinked his big eyes, looking as sweet and naughty as a little fox who had stolen some candy.
"Then I'm leaving?
Am I really leaving?
It just so happens that I still have some unfinished business in the Qianji Pavilion! Master, if you don’t need me to accompany you, then I will go back to work.
"Hurry up!"
"Okay!"
The little girl jumped onto the carriage, holding up her skirt. After the entourage respectfully bowed to the virtuous concubine and took their leave, they whipped the horses and drove away.
"This heartless little girl, her heart can only hold her sister and Qianji Pavilion! My poor son is so stubborn and has devoted his mind to her. I don't know when he can help her come to her senses."
The virtuous concubine stood outside the gate and took a deep breath. She felt both angry and amused, then she shook her sleeves helplessly, muttering to herself as she turned and went into the mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the door, the housekeeper came out to greet him.
"Your Highness, Concubine Liang is here to visit."
"She's always been impatient, and she's always anxious about everything. She probably heard I'd entered the palace, so she came here specifically to inquire about Jianing."
Concubine Xian chatted quietly with her trusted nanny as she walked quickly into her own courtyard. Sure enough, Concubine Liang was sitting in the main hall drinking tea. Seeing her host return, she quickly put down her teacup and came to greet him.
"Sister Fang, I heard you entered the palace. I have something to ask you..."
"Just be patient, I know what you want to say."
After waiting for the servants to serve tea and snacks again, Concubine Xian waved her hand to send everyone away before looking at Concubine Liang. Without beating around the bush, she directly repeated the Queen's original words so that she could feel at ease.
"So you can rest assured. Jianing and the others are a group of little girls who were raised by the Queen. Since she has agreed, she will definitely not push them to marry."
"Oh, I didn't come to you today for this. But I also want to thank Sister Fang for still thinking about my Jianing and asking for the Queen's oral order for her. Thank you, sister!"
Concubine Liang's voice sounded happy, but she still looked a little worried, which made Concubine Xian look at her strangely.
"With your silly personality, what else is there to worry about besides Jianing's affairs? Tell me about it."
"Why not?"
When Concubine Liang got close to her good sister who she had been close to for many years, she started talking incoherently.
"As soon as it was dawn this morning, an old friend came to me for help.
Sister Fang, you also know my background. Although my father was born into the Feng family, he had already changed my surname to Lin.
Besides, he has lived with my grandmother since he was a child. Although that place is not his roots, it is his legitimate school, so it can be considered my maternal home.
Now that they've come to me for help, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable not to help? But I don't know whether I should lend a hand, so I can only ask my sister for help.
Sister Fang, we have been dependent on each other in the harem for so many years. I treat you as my own sister from the bottom of my heart! You say…"
"Stop! What do you want me to say?
Lala Zhazha didn't get to the point.
What exactly happened?
Long story short.”
He stretched out his finger as usual and pushed the chatterbox back.
Concubine Liang looked outside furtively, and after making sure that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and leaned over to whisper in Concubine Xian's ear.
"Last night, the Dali envoys were assassinated by unknown forces in the Sifang Pavilion."
Concubine Xian's voice tightened.
"...Is it that Hades who died? Or is it that Prince Rong who died?"
"None! They are legitimate descendants of the royal family of Dali. If they really died here in such an unclear way, wouldn't it cause a huge uproar?"
"Huh, I'm glad you're not dead."
He breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the silly guy who was always startled.
"Since no one died, why are you so nervous?"
“No one died, but someone is missing!”
"who?"
"I heard it was the concubine of Hades. Of course, that has nothing to do with me. The main thing is that the heir of the Medical Immortal Valley is missing, so my uncle came to me and asked me to help find him..."
Her voice sounded a little miserable, and she didn't know what to do.
"Sister Fang, do you think I can get involved in this matter? I always feel that things are a little complicated. So many envoys are living well in the Sifang Pavilion, but Dali has lost someone? Why are they so mean? Besides..."
"Don't you know the answer yourself? Why are you asking me?"
The virtuous concubine picked up the tea and took a few sips. The gurgling sound in her throat was not very clear.
"I heard from Lao Wu that they've dispatched personnel to patrol the area around Sifang Pavilion for twelve hours to ensure the envoys arrive safely and leave with their belongings intact."
Concubine Liang's voice became even more miserable.
"So, is there really something going on here?"
"nonsense."
"What should we do then?"
Concubine Liang habitually grabbed her good sister's sleeve and pulled it in a very dependent manner.
"Sister Fang, can you give me some advice?
My uncle-in-law and I, my father and I, had saved my life. When you had a difficult labor and gave birth to your fifth child, the pills I gave you to maintain your pregnancy were made by someone else!
Now that his only heir has been lost here, I have to help find him, right? It's like returning a favor, right?
Sister Fang, please help me..."
