Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow
Chapter 166: Stirring Up Trouble
Therefore, Jiang An and Jiang Luo joined forces to promote his adoption into the second house. This was a very good move, and the thinking was very clear.
The Second Master and the Second Mistress want to adopt the Fifth Young Master. Does the Fifth Young Master have the right to refuse?
Everyone in the mansion thought like Lu'er: The Fifth Young Master had no choice but to obey.
That's why Lu'er answered like this when facing Fuxin's question.
Fu Xin took off the only pair of silver earrings left on her ears and put them into Lu'er's palm, saying, "Thank you for coming to tell Auntie about this today. You can keep these earrings for now."
Lu'er took the pair of silver earrings, pulled back her arm, and whispered, "I'm leaving first. I've been out for too long and I'm afraid the night watchwoman will find me."
"Go ahead, go ahead. Be careful with these. If my sister has any problems in the future, please help her."
Lu'er weighed the earrings in her hand and seeing that they were quite heavy, she said, "If Sister Fuxin wants to pass on a message or something, Lu'er can still help." After that, she turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Fu Xin couldn't understand what she meant.
The implication is that she can only help pass on messages and nothing else.
Fu Xin was annoyed at Lu Er for being ungrateful. She had given Lu Er a silver hairpin in exchange for the cakes and biscuits. Now she came to deliver a message and even accepted her earrings. At the same time, she was extremely worried because of Lu Er's words.
She held the cakes and pastries in her hands and walked quickly into the house.
The room was extremely poor, with only a wooden table for eating and a wooden bed in the inner room. However, the Buddha statue in the middle was out of place in the room and looked very luxurious.
Fu Xin put the things in her hand on the wooden table, then walked into the inner room and called softly: "Auntie...Auntie, wake up..."
Aunt Liu had just fallen asleep. Her wounds had not yet fully healed, and it was summer, so some parts of her body had already festered.
She was punished to live in this small courtyard, and only Doctor Qin came to see her once, gave her some ointment, and never came again.
He was caned twice in two months. The first beating had just healed and he hadn't even recovered when the second one came.
Sometimes she really wanted to bang her head against the wall, but then she thought about her two children.
One was about to marry into the Yongxing Marquis's mansion as a young lady, and the other was about to take part in the autumn examination. Both were happy events, so how could she bear to let them go?
She thought like this, and she really survived. It would take a long time for the wounds on her body to heal. She just asked Jiang Nian to be honest and stop making trouble. She really couldn't stand it anymore...
In a daze, Aunt Liu heard Fu Xin calling her, so she closed her eyes and asked, "Fu Xin, what's wrong?"
Fu Xin knew that she couldn't sleep well because of the pain, and she felt even worse.
After a moment, Fu Xin said hesitantly, "Lu'er came to tell me that today Fu'an Hall has approved the Second Master and Second Madam's plan to adopt Young Master An'er."
Aunt Liu suddenly opened her eyes, her willow-shaped brows knitted tightly, and after a long while she asked, "Where is An'er? Is An'er willing?"
It turned out to be exactly the same as what Fu Xin asked.
Fu Xin hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "You know the temperaments of those ladies... Can the Fifth Young Master refuse?"
Aunt Liu heard Fuxin's words and knew that this was the truth, but she was still unwilling to accept it. She stared blankly at the ceiling of the bed, not knowing what she was thinking...
Only the tears in the corners of her eyes kept flowing down, and Fu Xin hurried forward to wipe them away.
After a moment, she murmured to herself, "It's better to adopt him. I am now a concubine and cannot leave this courtyard. There is nothing I can do to help him. He is grown up anyway. No matter whose son he is, he will never forget me, his biological... mother."
The word "mother" can never be said, she doesn't deserve it.
In Aunt Liu's heart, Jiang An's weight was more important than Jiang Nian's. After all, even if he was born out of wedlock, he was still the only son of Duke Jiang Zhou.
Even if he follows Jiang Huai, even if he is suppressed by Qin at every turn, it still cannot change the fact that he is a son.
This is also the reason why Aunt Liu was able to enjoy favor for several years. In addition to her beauty, she is also fertile.
But how could Qin allow her to have another son? So, after giving birth to Jiang An, she never got pregnant again. It's not that she didn't have any guesses, but she had to take care of the two children in front of her first.
"Where is Nian'er? How is your health?" She asked in her usual gentle manner.
"The second young lady is reflecting on her mistakes in Ruixue Courtyard. She is in good health. Don't worry." Fu Xin comforted her.
"That's good. Now... now she is my only child..." As she spoke, she began to cry again.
If Jiang An saw her like this, he would not know whether he would be soft-hearted. But what's the use of being soft-hearted? It can't bring status, respect, or a future.
Aunt Liu has her own difficulties, but in Jiang An's heart, even if she has no future, even if she has to be an insignificant bastard for the rest of her life, she would rather not follow Jiang Huai around and be servile and subservient, and be beaten and scolded.
Everyone in this world has their own difficulties, and each difficulty is different.
Others may not be able to empathize with you, and your loved ones may not necessarily show you pity or sympathy.
The only way is to save yourself.
Save your body and save your heart.
In Ruixue Courtyard, Jiang Nian naturally had ways to find out about what was going on in the mansion.
She is now a confirmed wife of the second young master of the Yongxing Marquis's Mansion. Even if she is under house arrest, there are many servants in this mansion who flatter the powerful and bully the weak.
Look, Qing'er, the little maid who came out with Lu'er, also accepted the reward from Yulan and left Ruixueyuan happily.
Inside the room, Jiang Nian was stroking her belly, feeling extremely happy after hearing Yulan's report.
She was completely different from how she was two months ago, when she obeyed Qin's orders in order to prevent Jiang An from being adopted into the second house.
She touched her belly and whispered, "It's good for An'er to be adopted by the second house. In the future, he will be the legitimate son of the second house. Then, everything in the second house and half of the Duke's Mansion will be his."
He added: "I am his sister after all. With him as my support, my life in the Earl's Mansion will be easier."
Seeing her happy, Yulan also hurriedly complimented her, "Yes, young lady, you are right to think so. No matter where the fifth young master is adopted, he will always remember that you are his biological sister. Now that this is the case, isn't it a happy thing for everyone?"
Jiang Nian chuckled twice: "You are right, I shouldn't have stopped him from doing this. You should be more observant these days. If you see him, ask him to come to Ruixueyuan, and I will take good care of him."
Yulan quickly responded, "Yes, Miss."
In the huge Duke's Mansion, everyone closed their doors and no one knew what was happening in the courtyards.
The person who stirred up this storm is currently having a sweet dream in his bed.
Lu Jinan is not as leisurely as Jiang Luo.
Lord Lu, who was supposed to be interrogating prisoners in the Jinyiwei prison, appeared in the meditation room of Master Wuyan in Zhenguo Temple.
