Lu Jinan raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that the little girl was worried after seeing this.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly.

There are people in this world who are as confused as him...

This seemed to please him.

The curve of his mouth became bigger.

When the two of them walked to the window, Jiang Luo said to Xie Qing with concern: "Sister Qing'er, although this unique copy is good, you can't stay up until the middle of the night. If you stay up for a long time, it will hurt your body."

Lu Jinan glanced at the silhouette outside the window, as if thinking about something.

Xie Qing smiled and took her arm: "Sister Luo is right, I will practice during the day."

The two of them walked towards the main house hand in hand.

Aunt Xu made Xie Qing’s favorite ice cream.

After they finished eating, they said goodbye.

Jiang Luo and Xie Qing separated on Zhuque Street and went back to their respective homes.

As the carriage reached the street, Rendong heard her young lady's voice coming from inside: "Rendong, go to Lao Jixiang to buy some sweet-scented osmanthus cake for Mother Wu. Buy a few more for you all to eat."

Mother Wu’s favorite food is osmanthus cake.

As for Honeysuckle, she likes everything that is delicious.

"Okay, miss."

After a while, Lao Jixiang arrived.

Mingxu stayed beside the carriage while Rendong went to queue up to buy pastries.

This Lao Jixiang has the best-performing pastry shop in Yongjing City.

The pastries inside are not only exquisite in style, but also taste great.

Even Jiang Luo, who never likes sweets, could have a few bites.

Not to mention Mother Wu who loves sweets.

The sun was still quite strong at this time.

The driver was afraid that Jiang Luo would get too hot, so he parked the carriage under the shade of a tree near the bridge.

There is a stone bench under the tree for cooling off.

Ladies gathered in groups of three or four to chat.

"Hey, have you heard?" a round-faced woman asked, spitting out the melon seed shells in her mouth.

The long-faced woman at the side looked at her with gossipy eyes: "What did you hear?"

"It's all over the streets, saying that the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was abducted by someone hired by the Princess of Jiayang County."

"When did this happen? Wasn't the county lady punished by the emperor for this matter a few days ago?" the lady sitting on the other side interrupted.

"Who knows? It is said that there was a maidservant beside Princess Jiayang who fell in love with the son of Marquis Ningyang. The maidservant bore a grudge against the son's fiancée, Miss Jiang, and so she had the intention to kill him, and that's why she did such a bad thing on her own." The round-faced old woman muttered with shining eyes.

The long-faced woman looked disdainful: "Bah, a maid falls in love with the prince? Even if Miss Jiang didn't exist, she wouldn't be worthy of him!"

"Yes, isn't this just wishful thinking of becoming a phoenix? That young lady Jiang died unjustly." The woman continued.

Jiang Luo sat in the carriage and listened attentively.

I figured out a solution so quickly.

Whose work is this?

Princess Jiayang has lost so much face that she shouldn't be so rational.

It's even more impossible for that idiot Ling Xun to be the one.

He can do nothing but show off the little knowledge he has and his good-looking face.

It is possible that Lord Ling is the one.

But such a small matter was not enough for him to take action.

The only one left is Ningyang Marquis’ wife Qi.

From this we can see that her future mother-in-law is not a good person.

It must not be easy to sit in the position of a cabinet lady and become the queen's sister-in-law.

It's easy to not be able to hold this position.

"She has nothing wronged." said the round-faced woman while cracking melon seeds.

When Mingxu heard this, he wanted to step forward and stop them from continuing.

But she found that her young lady had opened the curtain and was listening with great pleasure.

She stopped walking.

"Isn't this unfair?" the woman asked curiously.

"Is there any hidden secret in this?" The long-faced old woman asked the key question.

This is also what Jiang Luo wanted to hear.

Mingxu: Miss, are you okay with listening to your own gossip?

"Of course. I heard that this maid was deeply in love with Miss Jiang. She thought that Miss Jiang had a bad reputation and was not a good match for the prince. And the prince was unwilling to break off the engagement against his grandfather's will, so the maid attacked Miss Jiang."

"Tsk tsk tsk... Oh, what a bad fate." Everyone sighed.

Hearing this, Jiang Luo sneered.

This method is really extraordinary.

It also washed away the stain on Princess Jiayang.

It also enhanced Ling Xun's reputation.

He also belittled her.

Finally, the maid who knew about it was dealt with, and no one would ever know what Princess Jiayang had done again.

Killing several birds with one stone, how brilliant!

Jiang Luo couldn't help but admire the wife of the Ningyang Marquis.

Unfortunately, she is not someone to be trifled with.

The higher Ling Xun climbs, the more fatal it will be when he falls.

"Miss, I have bought everything." Honeysuckle's voice came into the carriage.

"Let's go."

"Yes, ma'am."

After an incense stick of time, they returned to Shaoguangyuan.

At the hour of Xu, Mei Qing, who was beside Qin, came over and told her that they would have dinner at Fu'an Hall today.

Jiang Luo was a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions.

Since she suffered a stroke, Madam Jiang has never left Fu'an Hall again.

Jiang Zhou also ordered the younger generations in the mansion not to enter and disturb Old Madam Jiang without her order.

Everyone was at ease.

Why do you suddenly want to go to Fu'an Hall for dinner today?

Mingxu sent Meiqing away, and together with Rendong, he helped her change her clothes.

After a cup of tea, they packed up and headed towards Fu'an Hall.

When Jiang Luo arrived, everyone was already there.

Except Jiang Yin, everyone else was there.

Even Jiang Chen, who was usually unable to go out, came.

Jiang Luo's eyes flashed, and after bowing to everyone, he sat down in his seat.

Old Madam Jiang sat at the top with a crooked mouth, looking at Jiang Luo with her cloudy old eyes.

Mother Qin stood by, holding a piece of cotton cloth in her hand, wiping the crooked corners of her mouth from time to time.

Jiang Luo pretended not to see it.

Old Madam Jiang has never liked her.

She was too lazy to waste time talking to Madam Jiang.

She just wanted Madam Jiang to live well and watch everything she once cared about most collapse.

Seeing that everyone was present, Jiang Zhou said, "In ten days, it will be your grandmother's sixtieth birthday. I asked you to come here today because I want you to prepare birthday gifts."

"Yes, father."

"Yes, uncle."

Several of the younger generations stood up and responded respectfully.

"Please sit down." Jiang Zhou waved his hand.

After dinner, everyone left.

Outside the Fu'an Hall, Qin looked helpless: "I have things to do here now, so I'll leave my aunt's birthday banquet to my second brother and sister-in-law. If my second brother and sister-in-law don't understand anything, send a maid to Chunhua Courtyard, and I will tell you everything I know."

She is truly virtuous and generous.

But I was feeling bad inside.

It’s Madam Jiang’s 60th birthday, and Jiang Zhou seems to be planning a grand celebration.

Over the years, with the help of Old Madam Jiang, Qin has firmly grasped the power of the Duke's Mansion.

Although Liu had patronized several banquets in the mansion, she had never hosted a birthday banquet alone.

Now it seems that Qin is going to just give up.

How could Liu not understand what she meant?

If something goes wrong at Madam Jiang's birthday party, Qin can use it to take back control of the family.

By then, everyone in the capital would know that Liu was not fit for important positions.

From now on, Liu will have no say in the Duke's Mansion.

Qin suppressed her even more.

Liu looked at her meaningfully and replied, "It's my mother's birthday, and my sister-in-law is busy taking care of the two children. Even if I don't want to take it, I have to take it. But... my sister-in-law has to give me the pair of cards in the public treasury first."
