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

She politely bowed to everyone present as a junior, and faced everyone's scrutiny, standing there neither arrogantly nor humbly.

Jiang Luo followed his gaze and looked at the faces one by one. They were not very familiar, but they seemed to be faces he had seen before.

When she looked at the person sitting in the first seat on the lower left, she paused for a moment, then returned to normal. She kept searching for the old woman's face in her mind, but still had no impression.

He was really a stranger. She had never seen this person in her two lifetimes.

While she was looking at Old Lady Qi, Old Lady Qi was also looking at her.

Although Old Lady Qi did not agree to Qin's marriage, she did not have much interaction with Jiang Luo's mother Wu Qingrong. She had never met her again except for the one time she met on Jiang Zhou's wedding day.

At this moment, she was staring at the extremely beautiful, dignified and generous girl in front of her, and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy in her heart.

Her intuition told her: This little girl looked very stubborn... just like her!

Seeing that she appeared in front of everyone earlier than Jiang Yin and grabbed everyone's attention, and hearing everyone praising Jiang Luo in a low voice, Qin Shi was a little angry for a moment: "Luo'er, look at you sweating all over. Did you get up late and run all the way here?"

Without waiting for Jiang Luo to explain, she continued, "Mother has taught you so many times that you are the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion and you must be dignified and steady. In the future, you will marry into the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion and become the Crown Prince's wife. How can you always be so impetuous? The reputation of our Duke's Mansion depends on you!"

Jiang Zhou did not say anything. Managing the rear house was Qin's job. He basically did not deny her words too much. All his attention should be focused on the court.

Old Madam Jiang would not care, she already hated Wu Qingrong. Now Jiang Luo was 80% similar to her mother, she would only hate him even more. How could she say good things for her?

Most importantly, she couldn't speak anymore...

When everyone heard this, they began to whisper to each other.

The scrutinizing gazes were directed towards Jiang Luo again. They were already afraid of Jiang Zhou's identity, and Qin was the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, so these people naturally knew how to please her.

"Yes, what the Duke's wife said is correct. The Ningyang Marquis's Mansion is no longer what it used to be. It is no longer just any noble family."

"That's right. With a queen and a cabinet minister, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are the best family in Yongjing. The rules and etiquette of the Marquis' Mansion should not be underestimated. A royal wife who can marry into the Marquis' Mansion must be dignified, elegant, virtuous and generous."

"Who says it's not true? As the eldest daughter, Miss Jiang will marry into the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion in the future to maintain the wealth and glory of the Duke's Mansion."

"Alas, if the old Duke Zhenguo and the old Marquis Ningyang had not made this engagement, this marriage in the Ningyang Marquis's mansion... I'm afraid it wouldn't have been her turn as a motherless girl."

Hearing this, Qin's originally gloomy face finally showed a smile. She did not interrupt and let the people in the hall talk.

Liu spat inwardly: Today is the second house's big happy event, we can't let Qin's mother and daughter ruin it, it's really unlucky...

She thought about it, and then kept winking at Jiang Luo, telling her to just say a few words to these people and then stand aside.

The matter of opening the ancestral hall to adopt a son today was something they had discussed in Fu'an Hall yesterday, and no one else in the mansion knew about it.

But the maid she ordered to keep an eye on Chunhua Courtyard reported back this morning that Qin did not send anyone to inform Jiang Luo.

She thought that Qin was probably going to use today's incident to embarrass Jiang Luo in front of the elders, leaving him with a bad reputation for being disrespectful to elders, unruly, and disrespectful to his stepmother.

After all, Qin was eagerly waiting to snatch the engagement from Jiang Luo.

If Qin's plan succeeded today, it would not only alienate the relationship between the Second House and Jiang Luo, but also make everyone think that Jiang Luo was not suitable to marry into the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion.

When the time is right and Jiang Luo's reputation is ruined, the Qin family can gather the elders to plead for Jiang Yin and ask the Duke Jiang Zhou to replace him! No one will have anything to say then.

Jiang Luo saw Liu's anxious eyes, but she was not moved at all. She just nodded slightly to Liu, indicating that she was fine.

Liu didn't know why Jiang Luo was so calm. She stood there and let people talk about her without getting impatient, and her heart also calmed down for no reason.

Liu then glanced at Qin and saw that she was smiling. She gritted her teeth secretly and said angrily: This bitch is always trying to trip her up and make her life difficult...

Someone below caught a glimpse of Qin's expression and knew that she liked what he said. A few people exchanged glances and continued the discussion, becoming even more impolite.

Old Mrs. Qi was observing Jiang Luo quietly. Seeing that Jiang Luo was not angry after hearing these words, she admired Jiang Luo even more.

"Although this little girl is beautiful, she is so reckless. How can she represent the Duke's Mansion to marry into the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion? The Ningyang Marquis' Mansion is now the most popular family in Yongjing. We can't afford to offend them..." Someone else sighed at the right time.

"Yes...it's also because the Duke and his wife are kind. If it were me, I would still think it would be best for the third young lady to marry into the Marquis's Mansion. No matter their status, knowledge, rules, or etiquette, they are all impeccable."

When everyone heard this, they all agreed: "Yes, yes..."

Jiang Luo took in all the changes in the crowd and sneered in his heart.

She did not refute, but just calculated the distance between her and Jiang Yin, and listened calmly to the noise outside.

When he heard the hurried footsteps behind him, he bowed again and said apologetically: "My mother and the elders have taught me, Luo'er will remember..."

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Yin ran to the door.

It was early in the morning, and the sun had just risen outside. Although light was coming in through the cracks in the carved pearwood windows, the room was still a little dark.

Jiang Yin's attention was on Jiang Luo again. She held the door frame with one hand and pinched her waist with the other. She was panting from exhaustion, but she still glared at Jiang Luo and shouted, "Jiang Luo, why are you running? If you have the guts to say something like that, why don't you dare to stop and confront me?"

She blurted out what she had said before Danyu and Chanyi stepped forward to stop her.

Chan Yi followed behind her and saw that the room was full of people. She immediately pulled her up with great effort and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, Miss, the room is full of people..."

Jiang Yin's words came to an abrupt end. Only then did she realize where she was, and her heart skipped a beat.

Yes, this is the ancestral hall. Mother told her this morning that today is the day for the second branch to adopt Jiang An's son, and all the elders of the Jiang clan will be here, so she should be more calm.

She quickly closed her mouth, adjusted the hairpin on her head, and looked at Jiang Zhou and Qin who were sitting above her.

Qin was fine, she was disappointed but didn't show any anger. But Jiang Zhou was different, he was staring at Jiang Yin at the door, he felt a burning pain on his face.
