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

Aunt Liu was beaten unconscious.

After the beating was over, Jiang Nian hurried to Aunt Liu and cried miserably: "Aunt, what's wrong with you...Aunt...Aunt, wake up..."

"Father, Nian'er begs you to find a doctor to see my aunt, Nian'er begs you..." She begged while kowtowing.

Jiang Zhou waved impatiently at the manager, signaling him to go find a doctor quickly, then turned and left.

"Nian'er thanks you, father." She thanked him again while crying.

Jiang Nian knelt aside, looking at Aunt Liu who was covered in blood and unconscious, hatred welled up in his heart.

It’s all because of that bitch Jiang Luo’s tough life!

But she recalled the day when she accompanied Jiang Yin to pay respects to Qin. As soon as she reached the corner of Chunhua Courtyard, she saw Mother Cao hurriedly leaving the courtyard and heading to the outer courtyard.

Jiang Yin hurriedly pulled her and followed.

After dodging all the way to the outer courtyard, he saw Mother Cao saying something to Liu Er, who was nodding and bowing with a flattering look on his face.

This Liu Er is the cousin of Fuchun, the maidservant of her aunt.

She thought to herself: Qin is indeed a shrewd and calculating person. If anything goes wrong, her aunt will be the biggest suspect.

After Mother Cao left, Jiang Yin hid in a corner and gave her twenty taels of silver, and forced her to go and ask Liu Er.

Although she was unwilling, she had no choice. She and her aunt and brother had to make a living under the control of Qin, the head lady of the house...

Only after giving the silver to Liu Er did he say, "Mother Cao told me to keep an eye on the eldest lady."

Jiang Yin listened to her reply with a calculating look on his face.

She leaned over to her ear...

"Third sister, is this okay? If something really happens..." she asked uneasily.

Jiang Yin glanced at her and said contemptuously, "Just go, don't worry about the rest."

She thought about Jiang Luo's situation again. Even if something happened, no one in the mansion would support her. It was not worth offending Jiang Yin for Jiang Luo.

If something really happened, the investigation would lead to Mother Cao.

And she just conveyed a few words.

But how did it become like this now?

Not only did Jiang Luo not die and Mother Cao was not punished, but her aunt was beaten like this and was also confined to her house.

Isn’t it rumored in the capital that Lord Lu from the Imperial Guard is cold-blooded and ruthless?

Why would he stand up for Jiang Luo?

At this time, the beatings had ended and the people in the corridor had dispersed.

Jiang Yin, with a smug look on her face, deliberately covered her nose and said, "Big sister, you should go back and wash yourself. You are covered in blood, which is really scary."

Jiang Luo glanced at her and said coldly: "How can my horse blood compare to the human blood in my third sister's hand?" After that, he left with Rendong without looking back.

Jiang Yin stamped her feet in anger: "Bitch, bitch, bitch... humph!"

No one noticed Jiang Nian behind him, staring at Jiang Luo's receding back with a grim look on his face...

On the other side, Xu Yuan was following their adults, telling them about the Duke's Mansion as they walked.

"It seems to me that the Duke of Zhenguo doesn't like Miss Jiang very much. How can a father be so indifferent to his daughter's life or death?"

"Unless Madam Jiang and the Duke of Zhenguo were never compatible, or there was an insurmountable rift between them..."

He wanted to say something else, but saw that Lord Lu had already ridden away on his horse.

He said helplessly: "Hey hey hey sir...please wait for me."

Ever since Lu Jinan accidentally saw the jade pendant, he has been filled with doubts.

Now that he had witnessed with his own eyes what happened to Jiang Luo in the Duke's Mansion, as well as Jiang Zhou's attitude towards her, his doubts were exacerbated.

It seemed as if something important was about to happen, but unfortunately, everything was foggy...

He rushed all the way to the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion.

He just sat on his tall horse, staring at the majestic mansion, not knowing what he was thinking...

When the servant at the door saw that it was the prince, he hurried forward to pay his respects.

Then he trotted back to the mansion and called out, "The prince is back, the prince is back!"

After a while, a bearded man who looked like a butler and was over 40 years old came out.

He looked at the person in front of him with a kind face and said familiarly: "Prince, you are back."

Lu Jinan lifted his long legs and got off the horse. He handed the whip in his hand to the servant beside him and strode towards the mansion.

"Uncle Xie, where is my mother?"

He was tall and had been practicing martial arts and traveling for many years, so he walked fast.

Steward Xie had to trot to catch up with him and hurriedly replied, "My Lord, the princess is in the Jingyin Pavilion, watering the flowers."

Lu Jinan paused.

Manager Xie behind him almost bumped into him.

He paused for only a moment and then walked towards Jingyin Pavilion again.

Manager Xie behind him sighed: "Ah..."

Ever since the prince passed away, the princess has been tending to flowers and plants all day long. Over the years, the prince's palace has almost become a garden.

When he thought of the princess's cold words to the prince, he...

The prince hasn't returned to the palace for a long time.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly trotted over.

Lu Jinan stood in the corridor of Jingyin Pavilion, lost in thought.

His mother didn't like him being a notorious and murderous Jinyiwei. She felt it was too dangerous and would tarnish his father's reputation over the years.

I have become increasingly dissatisfied with him in recent years.

But what did my father get in return for his loyalty to the emperor and his country?

Head and body separated?

When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked?

If this is the case, he would rather be a traitor and be cursed by others...

Steward Xie looked at the dazed Lu Jinan and called out, "Prince, what are you doing..."

Inside the room, a woman in plain clothes who was holding a watering can with a white jade floral pattern paused for a moment, then continued watering the flowers as if nothing had happened.

Qingyun, the head maid standing by, smiled helplessly and shook her head.

After so many years, they have gotten used to it.

She hurried to the door, bowed and said, "My Lord, you are back. The princess is busy. Please come in."

Lu Jinan raised his hand: "Yeah." Then he stepped into the house.

The woman did not turn back when he came, but continued to do the work in her hands.

After a while, he called out, "Mother, my son is back."

Xie simply replied, "Yeah."

"My son has been very busy with work recently, so it's been a while since I came back to see you..."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether you come back or not." Xie interrupted him and replied.

Lu Jinan touched his nose.

Then he shamelessly asked, "Mother, is there anything you need? If so, I have some money here..."

"No need. Your father left me a lot of things. I can still support myself. As for the money you earned from selling your life, you can give it to whoever you want. It has nothing to do with me." Xie walked to the other side with the flowers and watering plants.

Lu Jinan followed carefully and said hesitantly, "Mother, please don't be angry with your son anymore, okay?"

After hearing this, Xie stopped what she was doing, looked at him and said, "Humph! When you stop working for the Jinyiwei, I will stop being angry."
