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

She knew Jiang Miao's personality. Over the years, whenever there was something, as long as Madam Jiang spoke and Jiang Zhou said a few soft words, Jiang Miao would let it go.

This time, no matter what you say, she won't listen to anyone.

She knelt down and walked towards Madam Jiang, who was sitting at the top of the table, crying, "Mother, my master and the Duke are both your children. The Duke has already inherited the title, and I beg you to be more considerate of the Second Master!"

"I am stupid, and I have only one child, Chen'er, in all these years. She is still weak, and I don't know if she can get better. What will she do when my husband and I grow old... Mother, your daughter-in-law thinks An'er is a good child, and she gets along well with me. I beg you to make the decision to adopt An'er into the second house." She cried as she spoke, and her love for her daughter moved everyone present.

This was the second time she proposed to adopt An'er.

She was obstructed by Qin the first time, but this time she insisted on bringing it up in front of everyone to see how that bitch Qin would try to stop her.

After Liu finished speaking, she pulled Jiang Miao's sleeve and motioned him to kneel down.

Jiang Miao sighed, and finally knelt down and said, "Mother, I also like An'er very much. If he could be adopted by the second house, I would be very happy..." and then he stopped talking.

Liu didn't need him to speak at length, as long as he stood on her side.

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang remained silent for a long time.

For a moment, she looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, but suddenly her gaze turned to Jiang Luo in the corner, with a murderous look in her eyes.

"She, she is all her..." Old Madam Jiang pointed at Jiang Luo and murmured in the room.

Liu knew what Madam Jiang wanted to say. It was nothing more than that it was Jiang Luo's fault that Chen'er fell into the water, and they shouldn't have quarreled with the first wife and her husband because of this matter.

She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand and managed to resist telling the truth to everyone.

Even if she said it in front of everyone, what would be the point? Who would believe her?

So much time has passed that there is no trace of him left. Even the Crescent Moon Lake where he fell into the water has been fenced off.

Would Madam Jiang believe it? That was her precious granddaughter.

Will Qin admit it? She dares to act like this now, isn't it because she has no evidence and no one will believe Jiang Luo's words...

Now is not the time to talk about this. What she needs to do is cut the Gordian knot and adopt Jiang An into the second house.

So, she looked at Old Madam Jiang with tears in her eyes: "Mother, what happened in the past is in the past, you don't have to mention it again. An'er is a good child, please make the decision and adopt him to the second house." After saying that, she winked at Jiang Miao who was standing beside her.

Jiang Miao also kowtowed and said, "Mother, I have been working hard for the Duke's Mansion for the past ten years. I think I will live like this for the next few decades. I will not take a concubine. If you love your son, you can adopt Jiang An to me, so that I can have someone to take care of me in my old age."

His words made Mrs. Jiang burst into tears. Jiang Yin hurriedly took the handkerchief and gently wiped the tears for her.

The palms and backs of her hands are all made of flesh and blood. Jiang Miao is her youngest son, how could she not feel sorry for him.

Back then, the old Duke Zhenguo died early, and she had to manage the huge Duke's Mansion by herself, and also had to support the two brothers.

She was not good at managing the household accounts, and Jiang Zhou was old enough to get married. She knew that her eldest son liked Xiu Yue, and she thought that if she brought Xiu Yue home, it would be easier for them to manage the Duke's Mansion together.

Unexpectedly, the previous emperor passed away suddenly and the court changed.

A new emperor appoints his own ministers. If Jiang Zhou does not do something now, when the new emperor ascends the throne, the title of this Duke's Mansion will also come to an end.

There was no other choice, so she listened to her eldest son's advice and first married Wu Qingrong, the daughter of the wealthy Wu family in Jiangnan.

When the crisis was over, she thought that her eldest son had already married a merchant's daughter for the Duke's Mansion, and her youngest son must marry a lady from an official family.

Therefore, they arranged for Jiang Miao to marry Liu Qiulan, the legitimate daughter of Liu Ding, a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue.

It is a beautiful thing that the two of them are in love with each other.

Alas, I didn't expect that this official lady had a legitimate wife, and she didn't mistreat her youngest son. But Liu Shi didn't have many children, and she only had one daughter in all these years...

She is a mother. No matter what, she cannot watch her own son die without any descendants!

When Old Madam Jiang thought of this, she glared at Jiang Luo fiercely again, exhaled heavily, and said, "Okay." She had already put in a lot of effort just to make this one word clear.

Liu was overjoyed when she heard this. She kowtowed three times and said, "Thanks, mother." Then she turned around to look for Jiang An.

Seeing that Madam Jiang had given in, Jiang Luo glanced at Jiang An beside him and motioned for him to hurry forward.

Jiang An pursed his lips tightly, looked at Jiang Luo gratefully, then walked to Jiang Miao and knelt down. He kowtowed to Madam Jiang at the top of the table and said, "Grandson Jiang An, meet your grandmother."

Old Madam Jiang hasn't seen this illegitimate grandson for a long time. In her eyes, Jiang Yin and Jiang Huai are her precious granddaughter and grandson.

Of course, Jiang Chen was also among them, and she was even more favored by Madam Jiang than Jiang Yin. It was because of these that Jiang Yin and Jiang Chen became sworn enemies.

Ultimately, the reason lies with Old Madam Jiang.

As a member of the Qin family, Qin was originally closer to Old Madam Jiang, and she was also pregnant and gave birth to a son and a daughter.

As for Liu, after giving birth to Jiang Chen, her belly stopped moving. Jiang Miao loved Liu to the core and was reluctant to take a concubine, which hurt her heart, and that’s why Madam Jiang was angry with her.

For her mother's sake, Jiang Chen tried his best to please Madam Jiang in order to ease the relationship between the two.

This caused Jiang Yin to hate her.

Liu wiped her tears, looked at Jiang An with a happy face, and asked softly: "An'er, are you willing?"

Jiang An was slightly stunned.

Even though he was ready, he was still just a teenager. When he saw Liu asking cautiously, he thought of his biological mother, Aunt Liu.

If she knew that she was the one who abandoned her biological mother and chose to go to the second house, she would surely burst into tears again.

She loves to cry, and she loves to cry in front of him.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Liu and Jiang Miao looked at each other.

Jiang Luo was also a little confused.

Jiang Miao gently patted Liu's hand, signaling her to be patient, and then asked Jiang An: "An'er, if you really don't want to..."

"I do." Jiang An collected his thoughts and replied neatly.

What does it matter if he is willing or not? There is no place for him to speak in this Duke's Mansion.

Everything is determined by fate, and no one has any control over it. Now is the time for him to change his fate.

Jiang An's voice sounded again, and it sounded particularly clear in this quiet main hall: "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, An'er is willing. An'er is willing to go to the second house, work hard, be kind to my eldest sister, and take care of you until the end of your life."
