Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

When they walked to the front yard, they saw a graceful and elegant lady in front of them, followed by a noble man in moon-white clothes, walking slowly towards them.

"Madam Marquis, you are here. Please come in." Qin hurriedly stepped forward and said enthusiastically.

According to convention, it was Qi who should have greeted her.

After all, she is the wife of a duke.

But although she is the marquis's wife, her husband is a minister.

Can she compare?

There is no way to compare.

Qin glanced at Jiang Zhou who was standing beside her, and felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Ling Xun greets all the elders."

"Prince Ling, please don't be so polite." Jiang Zhou spoke out to stop him.

The wife of the Yongxing Earl also nodded and agreed, "Yes, my Lord, please don't be so polite."

Ling Xun only performed half of the greeting, then followed their instructions and stood up.

As the eldest son of Ningyang Marquis, he was able to humbly pay them the respects of a junior, which was already enough to give them face.

"You don't have to be polite, everyone. He is a junior, so you still have to show respect to him." Qi finally spoke.

How could anyone dare to follow her words?

Qin hurriedly replied, "Your Highness is humble and polite, and is a role model for other princes in Yongjing. We all know that."

"Yes, yes." Lady Yongxing echoed.

Qi did not reply, but calmly followed Qin into the main hall.

When the wife of Ningyang Marquis and the Crown Prince come to the Duke's Mansion, they must be received in the main hall.

How could we let them go to the flower hall?

"I wonder if the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion is in the mansion?" Qi suddenly asked.

Qin's eyes flickered, and she replied helplessly, "Please go first. Tea has been served in the main hall. I will ask the servants to go find her."

He waved to Mei Qing and ordered, "Go to the eldest lady's courtyard and see if she has left the house today. If she has not left the house, ask her to come to the main hall."

The wife of the Earl of Yongxing followed behind the two of them, looking at Qin with admiration.

She thought to herself: The Duke's wife's ability to speak is truly extraordinary.

The word "寻" is very intriguing.

Neither say Jiang Luo is here, nor say Jiang Luo is not here.

Let people guess wildly.

Upon hearing this, Qi frowned.

"She left the house without informing you, her mother?"

Qin laughed awkwardly twice, but seemed to be trying hard to hide something.

"Madam Hou, please don't misunderstand. Luo'er has been in the manor for a few years and just returned to the manor. It is understandable that she has forgotten the rules of the manor. She will be fine after a few more days of teaching..."

"Hmph!" Qi snorted unkindly.

Qin glanced at her and raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

Be angry!

The more she looked down on Jiang Luo, the more beneficial it would be for Yin'er.

And Ling Xun, who was behind them, also looked disdainful when he heard Qin's words.

What's going on with Jiang Luo?

His mother sent out a visiting invitation in advance yesterday.

Why didn't she just stay in the house and wait for him to come?

Although he is now interested in Jiang Luo, if Jiang Luo cannot please his mother, how can he propose to let Jiang Luo enter the Marquis' Mansion as a concubine?

She really doesn't know what she's talking about.

I must find an opportunity to have a good talk with her later.

Qin complimented Qi and sat at the head of the main hall.

The remaining few people sat on the armchairs at the bottom according to etiquette.

After a moment, Qi said, "My mother and I came here today to apologize to Miss Jiang on Jiayang's behalf."

Jiang Zhou heard this and immediately replied: "I dare not do that. How can I let the Marquis apologize to a junior like her? This is against the rules, against the rules..."

Qin also responded: "Yes, Princess Jiayang was raised by Empress Ling. If you say she would do such a thing, I would be the first one to disbelieve it."

"I don't believe it either. Everyone in the capital knows that Princess Jiayang is the most dignified and graceful person." Lady Yongxing echoed.

What they said seemed to please Qi.

There was a hint of smile on Qi's face compared to when she first arrived.

"As a mother, I know Jiayang's character best. She would never do such a thing. But it is because she is weak in character and kind-hearted that the maidservants around her took advantage of her." Qi said with a sigh.

"Madam Hou is right." Qin lowered her eyes and nodded.

Princess Jiayang is weak and kind?

It's really a big joke in the world.

Yin'er and Princess Jiayang can also be considered good friends.

Every time Yin'er came back from a scheduled outing, she would go to her to complain.

Most of them said that Princess Jiayang was selfish, arrogant, cruel and calculating.

I don’t know how the wife of the Ningyang Marquis said that!

Hey.

If it weren't for the future prosperity and wealth of the Marquis' Mansion, she really didn't want Yin'er to marry in.

Qi took a look at the expressions of the people below her and continued, "Look, I interrogated her in the mansion for a long time and finally found out what wrong the slave had done."

She glanced at her son and continued, "Alas, who would have thought that the slave girl would actually say...she would actually say that Miss Jiang's reputation was too bad and she was not worthy of being Xun'er's wife. That's why she did such a horrible thing to Miss Jiang."

He actually attributed everything to Jiang Luo.

After hearing this, several people looked disdainful.

Jiang Zhou and Qin were even more flattering.

"Alas, this is really unfair to Princess Jiayang." Qin said with a sigh.

Jiang Zhou shook his head helplessly: "My eldest daughter... is really useless."

Qi also pretended to wipe her eyes and said, "Hey, who said it wasn't true! Jiayang has locked himself in the room and refused to come out."

If someone who doesn't know the situation heard this, they would definitely think that Princess Jiayang was the victim.

Ling Xun, who was standing aside, bowed calmly and said, "I have already beaten that slave to death in the mansion and thrown her body into the mass grave. I hope the Duke and Madam are aware of this."

Jiang Zhou stood up and stepped forward, holding Ling Xun's hand, and said, "Nephew, there is no need to be polite. I already know about this matter. Since the Marquis' Mansion has already investigated it, Luo'er will not pursue it further."

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang, for your understanding."

Jiang Zhou felt relaxed all over when he heard the name Uncle Jiang.

If his uncle was changed to father-in-law, he would be even more proud.

In the main hall, several people were pretending to be nice.

Suddenly, a pretty figure rushed into the door.

"Yin'er greets all the elders and Master Ling." Jiang Yin bowed to everyone obediently.

She secretly glanced at Ling Xun who was sitting at the top.

Seeing Ling Xun also looking at her, she looked even more shy.

The two had not seen each other for some time since they separated on the street that day.

Now that they finally met, she really wanted to find a place where there was no one around and have a good chat with her brother.

Unfortunately not.

The wife of Ningyang Marquis is still here.

She needs to be reserved.

Only in this way can you please the Marquis's wife and have a chance to enter the Marquis's Mansion.

Of course, Qi also knew what the two were thinking.

She knows her own son best.

In the past few years, he has been clamoring to replace Jiang Luo with Jiang Yin.

She originally agreed.

But when she entered the palace a few days ago, she heard from the Queen that she wanted Xun'er to marry the eldest princess Fu Jin.

One is a princess, the other is a daughter of a duke.

Of course she chose the former.

"Get up. Look, the Duke's wife is really good at giving birth. The third young lady is getting more and more beautiful." Qi rarely let go of her pride and joked with a few people.
