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

Jiang Zhou happened to have a day off today, so he came to the ancestral hall early and was chatting with the clan elders together with Jiang Miao.

He is the Duke, the most capable person in the Jiang family besides his father, the old Duke Zhenguo, and is naturally the object of flattery by everyone present.

Of course, Madam Jiang was also present.

Qin and Liu stood on her left and right, one holding a handkerchief and the other serving tea and water, very attentive.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in harmony, and the sisters-in-law were in peace. The elders present nodded frequently.

Madam Jiang and Jiang Zhou valued face the most, especially in front of this group of elders. The old Duke of Zhenguo died early, leaving them as an orphan and a widow to guard the Duke's Mansion, and their lives were very difficult.

If Jiang Zhou had not married Wu in time and obtained the money to offer to the current emperor, who was still the third prince, and had stood on the right side, once the title of the Duke's Mansion was stripped, the remaining land and shops would have been divided up by this group of people.

No matter what, the Duke's Mansion still stands, and these people still have to act according to the mood of the mother and son.

Jiang Zhou sat at the top calmly, letting them laugh at him and compliment him, feeling very comfortable.

"The old lady is here." A servant announced at the door.

Jiang Zhou was stunned when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Miao. Jiang Miao was also confused and could only shake his head at him.

The two of them stood up together and went to the door.

When Madam Jiang heard this name, she was confused for a moment, and then she was incredulous. After a breath, she shouted anxiously: "Huh, she is here to do it..."

Neither of them understood what she was saying, and Liu comforted them gently, "Don't worry, mother. Maybe my aunt knew about the happy event in the mansion, so she rushed to congratulate us. Now that my aunt is here, our Jiang family can be considered reunited."

When Mrs. Jiang heard her say this, she obviously disagreed and immediately pushed Liu's hand aside.

Qin glanced at Liu thoughtfully, still standing there serving Madam Jiang. She did not take the initiative to go to the door to greet her, but just frowned and looked towards the door.

I don't know why this old woman came back at this time? I haven't seen her for so many years, and I thought she died in the mountains...

"Zhou'er, Miao'er, such a big thing happened in the mansion, why didn't you come and inform me in time? Don't you intend to recognize me as your aunt?" The voice came before the person arrived.

An old lady in a dark red brocade skirt walked out of the hall. The cuffs and hem of the skirt were embroidered with auspicious patterns with dark green silk thread. She wore a red gold hairpin on her head. There were no other decorations, which made her look simple and neat.

She looked about the same age as Madam Jiang, except that her skin was darker than Madam Jiang's. However, she walked steadily, and seemed to be more energetic than Madam Jiang, and her body was stronger.

Jiang Zhou felt a little helpless when he heard that, but he didn't dare to show it, so he just smiled and said, "Aunt, please calm down. I didn't think it through. You are cultivating in the manor on the mountain, and I thought, it's just a small matter, why bother you to run all the way here and hurt your legs and feet in vain."

"Yes, aunt. Miao'er originally wanted to adopt An'er, and then find time to bring him to serve tea to you..." Jiang Miao was also busy responding.

The old woman glanced at the two of them and forced a smile.

After looking them up and down, he pointed his finger at them and said jokingly: "Well, you two, now that I'm old, you're teaming up to tease me!"

When they saw her smiling, they felt relieved.

Their aunt was not someone to be trifled with. When they made mistakes as children, their mother would not be willing to beat them, but their aunt was willing to use force.

Every time my father found out, he would just shake his head and laugh, saying, "You deserve to be beaten."

"Aunt, please come in. Mother and the elders are all in the room!" Jiang Zhou gently supported her arm and invited her.

Jiang Miao stood on the other side. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, welcomed the old lady of the Duke's Mansion into the main hall of the ancestral hall.

The person who came was Jiang Baozhi, the only sister of the old Duke Zhenguo Jiang Hai.

When she was in the boudoir, she couldn't stand Madam Jiang's behavior and didn't get along with her. But because Madam Jiang was her sister-in-law after all, she turned a blind eye.

Later, she married Qi Chang, a deputy general under Jiang Hai. Unfortunately, before the marriage was consummated, the deputy general followed the Duke of Zhenguo to the battlefield that night.

When they came back, there was only an urn and a coffin left.

After the mourning period, she discussed with her brother about returning home, but she didn't expect her brother to disagree.

They said Qi Chang sacrificed himself for the stability of the Yong Dynasty. If she returned home at this time, how would he behave in the army? And how would his colleagues view him?

It's downright ridiculous.

Qi Chang was indeed a hero, but she had only met him a few times. She agreed to marry him because he said he was faithful and reliable, and a good man.

Then she nodded.

Now that the person is dead, and she is still a virgin, is she going to guard a corpse for the rest of her life?

After that, she made a few more troubles, but failed to get what she wanted. At this point, she hated her brother Jiang Hai and had less contact with the Duke's Mansion.

I don't know if it was out of spite, but she stayed alone in the manor that she came with as a dowry for many years. When Jiang Hai was alive, he often went to look for her in person, but she would not see him. However, she accepted all the money and things sent by the Duke's Mansion.

After Jiang Hai died, it was Jiang Zhou and Jiang Miao who sent things to the manor. Although they had never met her, they still remembered the powerful aunt when they were young. When she got angry, she would really beat people.

"Hmph, didn't your mother have a stroke? How come she was still able to come out?" Old Mrs. Qi asked mercilessly.

Jiang Zhou did not dare to refute, but smiled carefully: "Mother is still recovering, and today is Miao'er's big day, so of course she will come."

Old Madam Qi didn't say anything else, but continued to walk into the hall. She looked around at this familiar courtyard. She hadn't been back for a long time...

Her biological brother is dead, and although the Duke's Mansion is still headed by someone with the surname Jiang, it is no longer the same Jiang.

No matter how much resentment and hatred she felt towards her brother Jiang Hai, it had long since disappeared under the ravages of time.

Life on the farm was leisurely and quiet. She had originally planned that she would never return to the Duke's Mansion and would never have any contact with the people here again.

Let the past be buried in the earth along with the dead...

However, just yesterday morning, as soon as she got up, she received an anonymous letter, the contents of which made her unable to let go for a long time.

She didn't expect that her brother Jiang Hai had been dead for so long and she was already half buried in the ground. It was not until the arrival of this letter that she learned that it was Old Madam Jiang who instigated Jiang Hai to marry Qi Chang to win over the hearts of the people.

She didn't expect that her marriage had such a reason.

He actually used her to win people's hearts... There would be no one else except that idiot Madam Jiang.

When she thought about how all these years, Madam Jiang had been hiding behind her back and watching her vent her hatred towards her brother Jiang Hai with smugness, she never recovered from the blow and never set foot in the Duke's Mansion again.

She hated Madam Jiang to death.
