Chapter 358 Don’t Care Too Much! Get Her Firstly!

Even Kuang Qingwu doubted that the true purpose of Jiang Qizheng going west was to marry Ou Qinglan to Qiu Jinglan. How could Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi think?

After all, among the four in this trip, Jiang Yadan and Jiang Qizheng were all born of the official wife of the fourth branch, while Ou Qinglan’s father and brother were the most trusted confidants of Jiang Tianchi and his son. Even Ling Zui, who was forced to go, seemed to be a good friend of Qiu Jinglan, the leading actor in this marriage.

n.o.body would believe that such a group of people went west just to find the husband for Jiang Qizheng.

In fact, Jiang Tiancan also agreed with this opinion. Hearing that two of his cousins joined up with each other, he also tried to be part of them. And then he was cursed by Sir Jibei, “If your son and you were brilliant, wouldn’t I cultivate you in the Northern Army? You have no choice but to stay honestly in the court! After all you have worked there for so many years, even if you do not achieve something, you do not do anything wrong. Now you are staying with me and your uncle. If you have troubles, we can help you! If you go to the army, you will be humiliated!”

Though Sir Jibei just returned to Jing City for two years, he knew his son and grandsons very well. Those three were even not good at being a general, not to mention a commander. If they took over such a position that help Emperor to find out one’s true ability in the long term, the only thing they would gain was a shame.

Besides, in the court Marquess Qin already gave him a position as a Deputy Premier. What was he striving for? His ability was clear. If he gained too much, he would not be able to handle. Wasn’t it humiliating if he should give up what he gained?

Though Sir Jibei stopped Jiang Tiancan, he could not stop Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi.

The two discussed after receiving the news and then they went to Marquess Qin to express their grievance together. Marquess Qin made it clear that the Western Army was only for their branches. The idea of taking a G.o.ddaughter was from Marquess Qin. At this moment the fourth branch aggressively got involved. If Marquess Qin did not handle the two b*st*rds, Jiang Yashuang and Jiang Yadan, did they want to control the two armies together?

They did not imagine that after their words, before Marquess Qin say anything, the old butler came in and said seriously, “Young Prince of Jingbo comes here!”

Marquess Qin knew Ou Bicheng was sent here by Jiang Yadan before Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi could say anything.

He was about to refuse when the servant guarding the gate came in, “Madame Ou comes!”

“…” Marquess Qin’s face got pale for a while and then he said, “Invite her to come in!”

The Ou Family was a devoted supporter when Marquess Qin started up his business. Jiang Yashuang and Ou Bicheng got along so well with each other and so the Ou Family had served as a supporter for three generations in the Jiang Family. The Jiang Family could not take the Ou Family as a normal subordinate. Ou Bicheng was a junior for Marquess Qin and so he could let him arrive here later. However, Madame Ou was his fellow as well as his brother’s wife. He could not snub her.

A few moments later Madame Ou came in with Ou Bicheng. Seeing that Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi were here, they greeted them coolly. They said to Marquess Qin directly, “There is an awkward thing. Ou Bicheng doesn’t dare to talk to you and thus he asks if I can help him. This is about the only girl in this generation in my family. I cannot bear to refuse him. So here I am to bother you!”

Madame Ou was very like the ancestors of the Ou Family. In the past when Sir Jibei got injured heavily, she was so mad that she took the general position to revenge for her husband. She was even much more decisive than Sir Jibei sometimes. So Marquess Qin respected her all the time instead of treating her as a normal female.

Hearing her words, he already knew what she meant. He could only produce a bitter smile, “Do not hesitate. Just say your requirements.”

“Ou Bicheng’s sister, Xing, fell in love at first sight to Qiu Jinglan when he was in Jing City. At that time, he was observing mourning for General Ruan. He did not have some eldership to help him make a decision. These words are not easy to say.” Madame Ou said directly, “And I was afraid that she just was on the spur of the moment so that she would change her mind a few days later. I have never expected that she loves him so deeply. You know that Zheng’er has gone to find her husband in Shazhou, but she should follow her instantly.”

Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi definitely knew how creditable Madame Ou was in front of Marquess Qin. They lost their cool after hearing those words, “Madame, as far as I know, though Xing loves Qiu Jinglan, Qiu Jinglan had no crush on Xing!”

Madame Ou glanced at them. She did not agree with them, “The boy is aspiring. He does not want to marry a girl in a n.o.ble family because he wants to revive his family by himself. The thought is great. But how can’t he be moved if he knows Xing loves him sincerely and deeply? After all she is the only girl in my family. Both her appearance and her talent are good enough for Qiu Jinglan.”

“…” Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi were trapped to say nothing. Qiu Jinglan just wanted to use the wife position to find another powerful ally. How could he become so n.o.ble and unsullied in Madame Ou’s words? Besides, if he was the one who would easily be moved, how could he get involved in so many love affairs?

“Madame, Xing is obviously a wonderful girl. She is the only pearl in the Ou Family in this generation. We all hope she is happy, don’t we?” Jiang Tianqi gritted his teeth secretly, while he appeared to be respectful, “It is because that Qiu Jinglan is not a normal man. Even if he knew Xing was sincere, I am afraid that he would not be moved so easily.”

He posted an example hastily, “I have heard that in the south he p.i.s.sed off so many girls. Among them there are many girls who are still waiting for him right now. In Jing City, the two prom queens in Spring House and Jinpa Pavilion also have affection for him. He has married no one right now. He never keeps those spoony women in mind!”

“That is a decent man!” Madame Ou’s words made the two cousins almost vomit blood as such a flirting man could be called a decent man. Did the whole Jiang Family have no one who was concupiscent?

But Madame Ou had her own logic, “Those degrading girls will never be allowed to enter a respectable family. He is just playing! Qiu Jinglan does not marry them, which means he is a nice kid. Besides, Xing is generous and she will not care so much!”

She glanced at them, “How could they, those currish women, compare to Xing?”

“You can go back. This thing is about Xing’s reputation and integrity. Don’t spread this matter to others!” Marques Qin sighed. After he asked his son and grandson to leave, he said, “Though Tianao and Tianqi have an ulterior motive on their marriage, some words they said are right. Qiu Jinglan was not the kind of guy who values a relationship. Even if he knew Xing was sincere, he would not be moved. Even if we forced him to marry her, Xing would get hurt. They are all kids who we see grow up. I don’t think that this marriage is suitable for Xing. What do you think?”

Madame Ou said, “Does it matter? Xing likes him. As for him, who will know? It is crucial that we let them get married. No matter what happened, we are here. She will not suffer any loss!”

Marquess Qin had no word when he faced such a decisive Madame. A few moments later he said, “The marriage of Zheng’er got…”

“How could Qiu Feng compared to Qiu Jinglan?” Madame Ou interrupted him, “Qiu Feng comes from a normal family. He doesn’t value fortune so much. There is nothing he asks from us. But Qiu Jinglan is an aspiring boy and he has to rely on us. Will he be bad to Xing?”

After hearing what she said, Marquess Qin was tired of trying to persuade her in case of offending her. He said, “If you make up your decision, I won’t put my foot in this matter.”

A few moments later Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi were called back. Hearing the result, they felt angry, “When did Madame Ou mind this stuff? It must be Jiang Yashuang and Ou Bicheng who asked her to do so!”

Marquess Qin said calmly, “The several generations in the Ou Family have accompanied me and your uncle many times. Now such a big family has only a few people. Xing is the only girl in this youngest generation in the Ou Family. Madame Ou came here to ask me by herself and I cannot refuse her.”

If Sir Jibei came, he could make his promise clearly to have a chat.

But his wife came. After all, it was much more inconvenient to talk with her instead of his brother. Besides, Madame Ou was not such a kind of woman who lived in the backyard and knew nothing. If she said this thing, obviously she knew he was in a pickle. But she chose to help the girl in her parents’ home!

If Marquess Qin could not refuse her, he had no choice but to agree with her.

Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi were disappointed after hearing that, “What about the Western Army?”

“Let Yue and Qing go there to help Han Jishan.” Marquess Qin hesitated, “Now Kuang Qingwu messes up in Shazhou. The army is also stopped by the western savages. Though Han Jishan cannot compare to Kuang Shihan after he has replaced the general which used to be Kuang Shihan’s, he should have some ways to deal with the twenty-year-old young man. Why Kuang Qingwu has been free and unfettered so far must have connection with Qiu Jinglan. If Yue and Qing go there, they will get a promotion by killing him as well as weakening Qiu Jinglan’s power. The two can face Qiu Jinglan with General w.a.n.g’s favor. If they cannot deal with Qiu Jinglan…”

Marquess Qin said calmly, “That means they are not capable of hosting the Western Army.”

“Yes!” Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi were surprised for a while and then they appeared to be joyful. The second son of Jiang Tianao, Jiang Yayue, was tied down by the Dou Family, while the son of Jiang Tianqi’s first wife, Jiang Yaqing, was detained in the army by Jiang Tianchi. These two were the most talented guys in the leading troop. But if Marquess Qin said nothing, they could only heave a sigh on the Western Army.

Marquess Qin talked about this matter by himself. No one would stop the two from entering the Western Army. His son was much more reliable than his subordinates and his future son-in-law.

It was better than that Marquess Qin agreed with him to have a G.o.ddaughter to marry Qiu Jinglan.

Though Jiang Tianao and Jiang Tianqi were happy, the allies they joined with to fight against the fourth branch certainly broke up.

In a minute, Jiang Yashuang frowned. He said to Ou Bicheng, “My wife’s brother is difficult to handle. Xing loves him. I don’t think that she would be the rival to him. If you agreed with her, you might get her in trouble!”

Ou Bicheng sneered, “Do you really think we don’t care about her marriage which matters in her whole life? That was just a makeshift. The aim is to make Marquess Qin allow Jiang Yayue and Jiang Yaqing to join the Western Army so that we can divide the first branch and the third branch. As for Xing’s marriage with Qiu Jinglan, my grandmother said she just wanted Marquess Qin to agree. She did not promise this will make it!”

Jiang Yashuang frowned, “But Xing’s reputation…”

“She went to Shazhou by herself. Whether grandaunt will go to say the words or not, her reputation has a stain already.” Ou Bicheng sighed, “Luckily she was shrewish. She will never suffer loss whether she marries Qiu Jinglan or not!”

“Did father have anything else to say?” Jiang Yashuang felt that the marriage of his fellow all made him headache. He rubbed his head, put aside this matter, and asked.
