Chapter 109 Don’t You Care About Her Baby?!
“If I went to Lvzhan’s room, how could you hold Commandery Princess Ningyi in your arms?” Jiang Yadan shocked everybody as soon as he opened his mouth. And he scolded his brother angrily, “Your sweetheart came to you in the middle of the night and you didn’t keep her for the night. Why did you give up the opportunity? You did the same last time at Yunyi Restaurant! Are you a man of our family!”
Both Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yelan were petrified, “You put the trap there?”
“Of course I did it!” Jiang Yadan was not ashamed of being exposed on the spot, but said proudly, “Now that you two love each other, what are you waiting for? Isn’t it a nice thing to be intimate early? Both of you are like puppets. You are not tired, but all the brothers and sisters are tired of watching!”
Qiu Yelan was dumbfounded, grabbing at Jiang Yashuang’s robe and asked frantically, “Did the whole family see me when I was there?” Even if she were short of moral integrity, how could she get along in the world now that she had lost face in front of the whole family?
Jiang Yashuang was going crazy. He didn’t care about fighting with Ruan Qingyan. Anyway, Jiang Yadan had taken over. He looked around breathlessly for a moment and said in relief, “No, just him!”
At this time, the other two were fighting fiercely. Jiang Yadan, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had been indulged in alcohol and women, was obviously no opponent of Ruan Qingyan, who had a rough life and had been struggling all the way. He was forced to retreat in a flurry just after several encounters.
But instead of asking Jiang Yashuang for help, he jumped to one side and yelled at Ruan Qingyan, “What do you mean, Ruan Qingyuan? It’s a nice chance for my brother and your cousin to be intimate for a while. You can go to the ‘Jinpa Pavilion’ to sleep with the belle there when you have nothing to do. Penglai Yue is even willing to pay you. You should be there but why are you here to disturb others? Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”
He did not care about Qiu Yelan’s fame at all. Ruan Qingyan was so angry that he almost dropped his knife, “You two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! How can a girl from a decent family meet with someone in the middle of the night? What’s more, my cousin is still in the mourning period! You are men of a n.o.ble family and have no worries, but you ruined my cousin! If I did not kill you today, I swear…”
“Who are b.a.s.t.a.r.ds?” Jiang Yadan was furious. “I am l.u.s.tful, but I haven’t gone so far as to take advantage of my brother! You ask your cousin, have I seen her before except at the court? As for my brother, if he were a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, why should I come to help him in the middle of the night instead of enjoying being with my wife and concubines? If you didn’t come tonight, my brother would send your cousin to her room without being noticed. If your cousin’s fame were ruined, it should be all because of you!”
d.a.m.n you! I would have knelt for you if I hadn’t got injured in the ankle and were not being held by Jiang Yashuang. So a qualified good brother of yours should be a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
Jiang Yashuang also had an urge to vomit blood, “Brother, what are you talking about!” And then he said to Ruan Qingyan, “Hanlin Ruan, all this happened unexpectedly today. It is easy to cause misunderstanding. But it wouldn’t help if you continued to fight. Why not stop and listen to our explanation?”
Ruan Qingyan was shaking with rage. Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Yadan, who managed not to be wounded, said, “Right! When your cousin is married to my brother, you will be his cousin-in-law. If we didn’t stop, wouldn’t it be embarra.s.sing when we become relatives? I know you became a Jinshi and entered the Imperial Academy at such a young age and think that you are a talent. How could you be so stupid? If it were not for my would-be sister-in-law, I would kill you for what you have done today!”
Stimulated by Jiang Yadan, Ruan Qingyan, who was already crazy, went ballistic. With his attainments in martial arts, the result was that, barely had Jiang Yadan stopped talking, he was slashed to fly a long distance away with his sword, breaking three or four trees that were as thick as the diameter of a rice bowl and falling heavily on the ground. He lay there still, like a corpse.
Seeing this, both Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yelan were frightened, “Cousin?”
“Brother!” In a hurry, Jiang Yashuang took off his robe, spread it on the ground and put Qiu Yelan on it, “Sit here. Let me go and see my brother!”
Qiu Yelan was completely stunned this time. Although Jiang Yadan was not a good man, his ident.i.ty as Marquess Qin’s grandson, Empress Jiang’s nephew, the eldest son of Great General of North… If he were killed or even injured severely by Ruan Qingyan, how would he deal with it?
Ruan Qingyan didn’t even look at the brothers. He put his knife back into the sheath and walked over to help her, “Where is the injury? Does it matter?”
“Go quickly!” How could Qiu Yelan care about her own injury now? Pushing his hand away, she whispered, “Leave quickly while Jiang Yashuang is taking care of Jiang Yadan….”
“Never mind.” Ruan Qingyan sneered, his eyes filled with the intention to kill, “I’ll kill both…”
“You stupid thing!” The sentence was interrupted by Jiang Yadan’s voice of scolding in the distance. “You forgot the silk armor on me? How could he hurt me with such a thrust… hiss… I was waiting for you to trick him over… hiss… so that I could attack… hiss… And you ran over alone!”
Jiang Yadan was obviously very disappointed and angry now. Rising up with Jiang Yashuang’s help, he shook his head and sighed, “How come I have such a stupid brother!”
“Since you are fine, you may go now.” He was not happy, and Jiang Yashuang was also choked. When he stood up, he immediately withdrew his hand and said blankly.
“… Fortunately, it’s okay!” Jiang Yadan recovered after staggering two steps. Obviously he was not seriously injured. Qiu Yelan sighed with relief, “Cousin knew how to act properly.”
However, seeing Ruan Qingyan straighten up, he pulled out the knife again, “I didn’t expect that you are wearing a silk armor. But I promise to kill you with one more stroke!”
“Cousin, don’t do it!” Bleeding in the mouth, Qiu Yelan grasped his sleeve firmly, “This is really a misunderstanding! Allow me to explain!”
It was not easy for you to pa.s.s the imperial examination to be a Jinshi and enter the Hanlin Academy. Beautiful girls and great honors are waiting for you. How can you be so impulsive! Where is your wisdom?!
“Ruan Qingyuan, did you see it?” She dragged her cousin, but another man was not stopped at all. Jiang Yadan walked over and sneered, “If your cousin were not fond of my brother, why should she try her best to stop you? One of them is willing to hug and the other is willing to be hugged. Even Qiu Mengmin and his wife, who raise your cousin, said nothing. You are only her cousin. Why should you come to break them up? Besides, if you really cared about your cousin, you should know that your cousin will be married into our family sooner or later. Now you have offended my brother and me. Aren’t you afraid that we will turn on your cousin in the future?”
He seemed to be full of sincerity and affection, “Do you know how to be a cousin-in-law? Our family is so prominent. However, when I see my brothers-in-law, I will have to restrain a little in case my sisters suffer. You…”
“Crash!”
Hardly had Jiang Yadan finished speaking when Ruan Qingyan cut off the sleeve pulled by Qiu Yelan from behind and rushed towards him with the knife!
“Brother, you get off!” Seeing this, Jiang Yashuang stepped forward quickly, squeezed his brother aside and waved the soft sword like a snake, holding back the blade that was cutting down straight!
In terms of age, Jiang Yashuang was more than ten years younger than Jiang Yadan; in terms of martial arts, Jiang Yashuang, who was disciplined and diligent, was much more powerful than Jiang Yadan. Earlier, within three rounds, Jiang Yadan could only defend from Ruan Qingyan. But when Jiang Yashuang didn’t have to worry about Qiu Yelan, he was even able to fight with Ruan Qingyan for a long while.
“Commandery Princess Ningyi, are you going to let them fight until dawn?” Seeing that he couldn’t even get in, Jiang Yadan watched the battle for a moment and quietly moved to Qiu Yelan, whispering, “Come on! Find a way!”
Qiu Yelan held the sleeve cut off by Ruan Qingyan and said in frustration, “How could I stand by if I had a way?” She couldn’t help but complain, “I never offended you. Why did you set the trap to hurt me? If I were not injured now, I could go up and stop!”
Jiang Yadan didn’t feel that he was doing anything wrong, “My brother doesn’t understand amorous feelings at all under the instruction of the elders. If you were not injured, even if you climbed the wall a hundred times, believe it or not, he wouldn’t know how to be intimate with you.”
“… I don’t want him to be intimate with me at all!” Qiu Yelan simply wanted to vomit blood, “I went to him for business!”
You almost made me lame and were found out by my cousin. Do you want me to thank you? !
“So, a girl always needs to cover up a bit even if she is willing.” Jiang Yadan, who must have given all his morals to his younger brother, said with certainty, “So when a man does not understand and is serious with you, there is no way even if you are impatient.”
Qiu Yelan looked at him and sighed after a while, murmuring “I suddenly wished that my cousin had chopped you to death….”
Jiang Yadan nodded in agreement, “You would feel embarra.s.sed if you didn’t curse me now.”
“It is improper for men and women to be too close to one another. Please stay away from me!” Qiu Yelan said expressionlessly. Although this sentence might have no influence on her, with her cousin on the spot, to compete morals with him at this time was to seek trouble when she was to be scolded back home!
But Jiang Yadan pretended not to hear and still talked eloquently, “Although this is a secluded place, the guards of the two families are not dead. If the fight goes on, people from both sides will come and see. My brother and I don’t care. But I am afraid you and your cousin… you, in particular, will be disgraced.”
Qiu Yelan thought about the consequences and felt a shiver. She no longer drove him but asked, “So what do you suggest?”
“You persuade your cousin to stop!” Jiang Yadan frowned. “We don’t want to fight but are forced by your cousin. Don’t you see it? It is the first time we have endured. We made trouble at other times. Who was bold enough to fight with us? This is all for you!”
“I dragged him just now. Why must you stimulate him!” Qiu Yelan said angrily, “You see he has even cut his sleeves. I can’t walk now. What can I do? Can I call to stop them? The guards may come sooner.”
Jiang Yadan tutted, “Then you have no other choice? You looked smart at the Court a.s.sembly that day, so you shouldn’t be so stupid. Can’t you manage such a small thing?”
Qiu Yelan vomited a bit of blood and said angrily, “Then you tell me, what can I do here now?! Shall I roll on the ground like a three-year-old kid, begging them not to fight?!”
She had barely stopped when Jiang Yadan’s eyes lit up and he talked to himself, “A kid? I almost forgot this trick!”
Next moment, before Qiu Yelan, who realized what was to happen, could stop him, Jiang Yashaung, the unscrupulous guy, turned his head and shouted to Ruan Qingyan, “Ruan Qingyuan, even if you don’t care about the injury to your cousin’s foot, don’t you care about the baby in her belly?”
“I will kill you!” Qiu Yelan shouted hysterically, “You deserve being slaughtered a thousand times!”
