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

After the court session, many people surrounded Lu Jinan, all of whom came to congratulate him on becoming the new Prince Jing of the Dayong Dynasty.

Whether it was sincere congratulations or false flattery, he responded to them one by one.

As usual, after leaving Taizhao Hall, on the last step of white marble stairs, Wang Fuquan was standing with his back to the crowd.

These people are no longer surprised.

Lu Jinan walked over calmly and bowed, "Eunuch Wang."

Wang Fuquan then shook off his whisk. On his fair and beardless face, there was a pair of slender phoenix eyes. When he stared at people, it seemed as if he wanted to see into their hearts.

He took two steps forward and gave a false support: "I have come specially to ask the emperor if Lord Lu is happy about being named Prince Jing."

Lu Jinan hurriedly bowed towards the Taizhao Palace and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I also thank Eunuch Wang."

Wang Fuquan took two more steps towards him, turned sideways to block the direction of Taizhao Hall, and gently lifted up Lu Jinan with the hand that was not holding the whisk: "Prince Jing, there is no need to be polite. Go quickly, and I will withdraw first."

Lu Jinan glanced at him, nodded imperceptibly, and then strode away.

Only after his figure disappeared did Wang Fuquan turn around and walk towards Chengqian Palace.

Before leaving, he muttered softly: Hey, the new Prince Jing has appeared, I wonder if he is good or bad?

Lu Jinan walked out of the palace, took the whip from Xu Yuan's hand, and mounted the horse. The two of them walked towards the Northern Pacification Office one after the other.

"What was found?"

"My lord, we have found out that it is Wang Jin who is beside Deputy Envoy Du. A few days ago, someone saw him outside a village near the thieves' den." Xu Yuan replied in a low voice while glancing around.

"Sure?"

"To be sure, I secretly hid those people who had seen Wang Jin in the teahouse that Wang Jin passed by every day, and let them take a good look to confirm that it was correct."

After a moment, Lu Jinan's low and cold voice sounded: "Okay. Then do as I said before."

Xu Yuan also became excited following his parents' words.

Lord Du is in trouble. To be more precise, Wang Jin is in trouble.

After the court was dismissed, Wang Fuquan went to the homes of the injured young masters one by one, bringing with him Emperor Zhaoding's condolences and rewards.

Everyone else was fine, except for the Yongxing Earl's Mansion. Hong Yong and Yang Shi were speechless and could not show their sadness on their faces. They could only accept the imperial edict with a smile and sealed it in a red envelope to Wang Fuquan.

Hong Che’s inhumane deeds must not be spread out.

Yang has been sighing these days, fortunately she arranged the marriage between Hong Che and Jiang Nian a few days ago, otherwise... otherwise Hong Che would really be single.

She was glad in her heart that Jiang Nian was pregnant with Hong Che's child after all. No matter what, she would at least have an offspring.

It's gone, it's gone, it's really a relief. I have to say, Yang is really generous.

After accepting the reward, she picked out the pieces of fine light green smoke gauze and instructed Madam Cai, "Send these pieces of imperial smoke gauze to the Duke's Mansion and directly give them to the Second Miss. Ask her to make some summer clothes for her to wear so she can be cooler."

Madam Cai quickly responded, "Yes, Madam, I'll go right away."

The news that Mother Cai had brought the rewards from the palace to visit Jiang Nian spread throughout the Duke's Mansion.

Jiang Luo was also listening to Ren Dong's vivid description: "Miss, it turns out that after Lord Lu arrived at Qingquan Manor yesterday, he went to the North Mountain to catch bandits. It is said outside that Lord Lu was named Prince Jing by the Emperor for his meritorious service in suppressing bandits!"

Jiang Luo asked back: "Prince Jing?"

"Yes, this is what Mrs. Cai, who is beside the wife of the Earl of Yongxing, said just now. She said that Lord Lu is now the Prince of Jing." Rendong said as she put a peeled orange into her mouth.

The oranges were delivered by the escort agency this morning along with Wu Yang's letter.

There were only a few words in the letter. Apart from reporting that he was safe, Wu Yang said that he had informed Wu Song and Wu Bai of everything Jiang Luo had said, and that they would also make preparations for the future, so Jiang Luo could rest assured.

Jiang Luo burned the letter after reading it. Then he curled up in the chaise longue, eating and drinking with the maids.

Ren Dong's words perked up Jiang Luo: "Mother Cai? Why is she here at the Duke's Mansion?"

After all, Lord Lu hasn't given her any news about Hong Che yet.

"You don't know this, do you? I heard that the bandit leader broke into the horse farm near Beishan yesterday and injured several sons of officials. The second son of Hong was also among them. Look, he was also rewarded by the emperor. The wife of the Yongxing Earl ordered Madam Cai to send a few pieces of rewarded cloth to Jiang Nian."

As Ren Dong was talking, she also felt strange: "Miss, when did the wife of the Yongxing Earl take such a fancy to the second young lady? Didn't she want the second young lady to be a concubine before? It's only been a few days, and she has changed her mind several times."

Mingxu continued, "I guess something went wrong with Second Master Hong."

Jiang Luo glanced at her and felt a little impressed by Mingxu's sharpness.

In her previous life, if Mingxu had not intervened, she would have been eaten up by the Lin family long ago and her bones would have been reduced to ashes. How could she be reborn in this life?

But on this day in her previous life, she had never heard of Lu Jinan's succession to the title. Could it be that her rebirth really changed the trajectory of many things?

Then will the things she knew happen as usual?

Or will it be brought forward or postponed?

She couldn't help but blame God in her heart. Since he gave her the chance to be reborn, couldn't he let her suffer less and have a smooth life...

"Hmph, it would be better if something happens to him, or even better if his whole body is rotten. He actually wanted to follow some people to harm our young lady. Fortunately, our young lady is smart, otherwise..." When mentioning Hong Che, she thought of the scene that day, and Rendong was very angry.

Mingxu took the orange from her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Let him rot and stink all over, so that we can avenge our lady." After she said that, she broke off another slice of the orange and handed it to Jiang Luo's mouth.

Jiang Luo continued to eat oranges while listening to the conversation of the maids, feeling deeply moved and relieved.

She thought, if these two maids knew that Hong Che was castrated by her order, they would surely be overjoyed, right?

In this life, she will kill anyone who harms her, regardless of the cost or consequences.

She still has good intentions, but this kindness also has its claws.

In the Ruixue Courtyard, Danyu was directing the maid to present the imperial cloth sent by the wife of the Yongxing Earl: "Second Miss, please look carefully. All the cloth is here."

Yue Jian stepped forward to take the things, then stepped behind Jiang Nian, and saw her young lady turn around and touch the pieces of cloth.

Danyu became a little angry when she saw that she didn't answer.

She is just a concubine's daughter, and she has offended her mistress. What is there for a concubine's daughter who is about to be married to be proud of?

Yue Jian saw that Danyu was about to get angry, so she hurriedly tugged at Jiang Nian's sleeve. Jiang Nian then came to her senses and said to Danyu flatteringly, "Sister Danyu, what are you talking about? The things that Madam sent must be great. I am under house arrest now, so I can't go to Chunhua Courtyard to thank my mother. Please go back and thank my mother on my behalf, Sister Danyu."
