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

Jiang Luo's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy: "Where is it?"

"In the small courtyard." Nanxing always spoke simply and clearly.

She thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay. After lunch, come with me to take a look."

Although she was a little anxious, she couldn't run away since she was already locked in the yard.

Eat a full meal first so you have the energy to work.

After lunch, Jiang Luo went out.

After a while, the two arrived at the small courtyard behind Mingyuzhai.

There were two servants guarding the door. When they saw Jiang Luo, they immediately stepped forward and saluted: "My humble servant greets my cousin."

They were all Wu Yang's people, so they followed Zhu Qing and called her cousin.

Jiang Luo doesn't care about the title, as long as he is loyal and serves the purpose.

She waved her hand, signaling them to leave.

"Where is Rongping?"

Upon hearing this, Nanxing opened the room on the right.

Jiang Luo walked in and saw a woman in her thirties sitting in the corner of the room.

The woman was wearing brown cloth, and her skin was abnormally white, perhaps because she had not been exposed to the sun for a long time.

When the people in the room saw Jiang Luo's appearance clearly, she was stunned for a moment, but murmured: "Madam..."

"Yes, I am the daughter of the lady you mentioned." Jiang Luo looked down at her.

Rong Ping's gaze moved back to Jiang Luo. She only took a glance and then lowered her head again.

The person in front of her looked so much like the late lady that she was a little scared.

"I can let you go, or I can give you money and household registration, so that you can return to normal life." Jiang Luo grasped Rong Ping's mind as soon as he opened his mouth.

After being locked up for more than ten years, what she wants most should be freedom, right?

Upon hearing this, Rongping immediately raised her head, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

Ever since she was put in a sack and sent to the farm, she has never left the house since.

The people who arrested her were very cautious, and there were people watching her inside and outside the yard.

She couldn't escape at all.

Until a few days ago, a masked man came and kidnapped her, and she was locked up in this room again.

She had been extremely scared these past few days. The fear of the unknown seemed to have brought her back to the days when she left Yongjing...

Now, after hearing Jiang Luo's words, she seemed to be injected with vitality.

Rong Ping's eyes were filled with desire, and she asked cautiously, "Really?"

Jiang Luo calmly sat on the stool that Nan Xing brought over and glared at her: "As long as you explain everything Qin did to my mother, all of this will be true."

Although Jiang Luo's promise made her extremely eager, she still subconsciously shrank after hearing these words.

She looked away evasively: "I...I don't know what the young lady means."

I thought to myself: It’s been so many years since the incident, how did this young lady know about this?

"Then you can only wait to die here." Jiang Luo said expressionlessly.

"Do you think, if I tell Qin that you are still alive, will she come to kill you?" Jiang Luo asked coldly.

Rongping's hands, which were placed on her knees, began to tremble suddenly...

Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at her every movement and expression closely: she was afraid.

Presumably, being captured by Liu at the beginning could be considered as saving her life by accident.

Given Qin's personality, Rong Ping would have surely died after the deed was accomplished. How could she have let her live until now?

Jiang Luo continued: "Since you know the result, why don't you find a way to survive?"

"A way out? How can I have a way out? If I tell you, will you really let me go?" Rong Ping asked dejectedly, as if she was hit in the heart.

"Of course. I will send you to Jiangnan, a place where no one knows you, and give you money and a house. From now on, you will be a good citizen, and you can also marry and have children and live a happy life in the second half of your life." Jiang Luo persuaded.

Nanxing was stunned as he listened.

Why does she feel that her young lady is fooling people?

Jiang Luo: I’m just fooling people…

Listening to Jiang Luo's description of the rest of her life, Rong Ping's eyes once again lit up with the desire to survive.

She asked carefully again: "Really?"

Jiang Luo dispelled her last doubts: "My mother is the daughter of the Wu family, a wealthy family in Jiangnan. I believe the entire Duke's Mansion knows this, and you are no exception, right? So, I will arrange for you to go to Jiangnan, and I will also keep you safe."

Every word of these words struck Rongping's heart.

Her initial shock turned into contemplation.

Yes, Qin apparently let her go, but in fact she wanted to kill her to silence her. Why should she keep the secret for such a vicious person?

If it weren't for Qin, how could she have been locked up like an animal for more than ten years?

Seeing that I am getting old...

Thinking of this, Rong Ping made up her mind. She slowly stood up and knelt down towards Jiang Luo, looking directly at him: "Miss, as long as you can save me, I will tell you everything."

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows slightly.

The fish on the chopping board dares to negotiate with her?

She did not answer Rong Ping's question, but asked directly: "Does my mother's death have anything to do with Qin?"

Hearing this, Rong Ping tightly grasped her cloth with both hands, bit her lower lip and nodded: "Yes. She bribed me to help her pass on the news about the lady in the mansion, and... and drugged me..."

At first, Rong Ping was just a third-class maid in Qinghui Courtyard. Seeing that Duke Jiang Zhou and his wife Wu were not getting along, she wanted to get close to Jiang Zhou, even if it meant becoming his concubine.

At that time, Qin had not yet entered the mansion, but was just the cousin of the Qin family. Because of Madam Jiang, she often lived in the Duke's Mansion. She came and went in the Duke's Mansion as if she was alone.

Qin had been secretly dating Jiang Zhou for a long time. If Jiang Zhou had not married Wu Qingrong to curry favor with the current emperor, who was still the third prince, Qin would have been the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.

So she felt both hatred and jealousy.

So she went to Qinghui Courtyard every day.

If she saw Jiang Zhou in Qinghui Courtyard, she would definitely cover her face and leave.

Wu Qingrong also slowly realized something, and just watched Jiang Zhou and Qin Shi perform the drama quietly.

She only disliked Jiang Zhou, so how could she feel sad for him?

But Mother Cao, who was beside Qin, accidentally discovered Rongping's feelings for Jiang Zhou.

Qin then pulled the ambitious Rong Ping onto her boat by saying, "If I become the Duke's wife in the future, I will definitely make you his concubine."

From then on, she passed on all the news about the late Madam Wu in the Duke's Mansion to Mother Cao...

When Jiang Luo heard the narration of the man in front of him, his inner emotions kept surging.

She seemed to have realized one thing from Rong Ping's words: her mother did not love Jiang Zhou!

If she loved someone, how could she tolerate Jiang Zhou and Qin acting like this in front of her?

My third uncle said that her mother was the most frank and bright person who dared to love and hate.

Therefore, if her mother really loved Jiang Zhou and married him with such a huge fortune, she would never allow herself to fall to this point.

But if she didn't love Jiang Zhou, why would she rather be laughed at and travel thousands of miles to marry him in Yongjing City?

Why would he be willing to give such a large sum of money to the Duke's Mansion?
