Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow
Chapter 183 What a heroine!
The person he was asking about was naturally Su Mu.
Su Mu quickly glanced at his parents, and seeing that Lu Jinan was still busy, he blinked and nodded.
Seeing that he didn't dare to say anything, Bai Qing immediately pursed her lips: "Don't you have a mouth? Will you die if you say "Miss Jiang"? Tsk tsk..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a dangerous gaze falling on him.
He quickly shrank his neck and said in time: "You are right. You really can't casually mention other people's names. We are all gentlemen and should know etiquette."
"Miss Jiang's action is truly heroic. From now on, Yongjing will have one less threat. She is worthy of being the one who dares to save Lord Lu." After he said that, he did not forget to steal a glance at Lu Jinan.
Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.
After Bai Qing finished flattering, he stroked his chin thoughtfully: Why did he feel that Lu Jinan was somewhat interested in the eldest daughter of the Jiang family?
Su Mu was so shameless that he rolled his eyes to the sky.
Xu Yuan was almost injured...
While several people were making a fuss, Lu Jinan was handling official business and was not disturbed at all.
He is always calm and focused when doing things, and will not be disturbed by the outside world at all, except for a little fox.
After a moment, Lu Jinan raised his head again. He looked at Su Mu and Xu Yuan seriously and ordered, "Go to Fujian and meet up with Xiao Yi."
The two of them quickly regained their serious demeanor, bowed and replied, "Yes, sir."
He handed them the three lucky bags at hand and said, "Your journey is very dangerous, especially Xu Yuan. You cannot fail in the mission, and you cannot lose your life. The lucky bags contain what you are going to do next and how to deal with it. Destroy them immediately after reading them."
"Once you arrive in Fujian, no matter what happens here, you don't have to worry about it. This is an order."
The two had never heard him talk so much before, so they immediately calmed down and said carefully: "I obey your command."
They did whatever their parents told them to do, without any explanation or reason.
This is both an order and a conviction from the bottom of my heart.
Although Bai Qing was still half lying on the chair, his expression became serious, no longer as casual as before.
Several people were discussing in the study what to do next...
Perhaps because of some unpleasantness that occurred in the front hall of the ancestral hall, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Duke's Mansion seemed too harmonious at this moment.
Everyone toasted each other and complimented each other. After the meal, everyone had forgotten what had just happened and only remembered that today was a good day.
It is a good day for the second branch of the Duke's Mansion, and also a good day for the illegitimate son Jiang An.
Jiang Zhou and Jiang Miao, along with Jiang An, visited all the way and received many gifts.
Although it was his first time to attend such a big scene, Jiang An did not show any timidity or cowardice.
He handled everything with ease, which made Jiang Zhou and Jiang Miao very satisfied. After all, one was his father, and the other was his father for the next few decades. If he lost face, they would both lose face.
Everyone present was surprised that a bastard could behave so well. They also heard that Jiang An was also a good scholar and would take part in the imperial examination this autumn. They also changed from treating him casually at the beginning to fawning and congratulating him.
This newly promoted fifth son of the second wife is not very old, but he is reserved and steady. I believe he will not be underestimated in the future.
In Fuxiang Courtyard, Aunt Liu, with tears on her face, covered her chest with her hands. She squatted by the courtyard wall, staring ahead with empty eyes, as if she had no life at all.
She knew that from today on, she would no longer have a son.
But she was born into a lowly family and had no ability to protect the child she had carried for ten months.
She couldn't even cry.
Because today is a happy day, she has to smile.
Laugh at her for trying so hard to make a living under Qin's control, and for trying her best to please Qin for more than ten years, but still managed to make her two children look like this...
And she ended up being grounded.
For a moment, she didn't know who to hate!
The situation in Ruixue Courtyard was different from that in Fuxiang Courtyard. Jiang Nian was stroking her belly while listening to Yulan reporting what happened in the ancestral hall. "I heard from the maid that your great-aunt has returned home and will be living here from now on. That old lady and the eldest lady made a big scene in the ancestral hall in front of the elders today!"
Jiang Nian curled his lips sarcastically: "She is just an old woman who has been practicing asceticism for many years. She wants to return to the Duke's Mansion to enjoy wealth and glory. She should be quiet. She actually rushes to offend people together with Jiang Luo. It's really rare."
Yulan also echoed, "Yes, the young lady is really smart. Normally, this old lady is over fifty years old, she should be more insightful, but now it seems that she is getting older and older."
"Haha...or else she would be senile and confused!" Jiang Nian pinched a piece of sweet and sour preserved fruit, stuffed it into his mouth, and said casually.
She is really getting better now.
Although she was under house arrest, the wife of Yongxing Earl seemed to value her more and more. She also knew that it was because of the child in her belly, but she was also blessed, otherwise, Hong Che slept with so many women, how could she be pregnant!
People are in high spirits when they are happy, and they eat and drink well. She is really plump and plump, with a lot of fat on her belly, and she looks like a pregnant woman.
"Miss, you are so lucky. You are under house arrest, so you don't have to deal with so many troubles and people. You just need to take good care of yourself and the little master in your belly. Just wait for the second young master Hong to marry you and go to the Bo's Mansion to be his lady." These days, Yulan has been repeating the same compliments over and over again.
But Jiang Nian just likes these.
"Now the Fifth Young Master has become the second son of the Duke's Mansion, and you are his biological sister! When the time comes, he will have to take good care of you and be your mother's family's support."
Jiang Nian was so delighted by her coaxing that he pushed a plate of osmanthus cake to her and said, "I'm tired of eating these too. I'm giving them to you as a reward. You can take them back and eat them."
"Thank you, Miss." Yulan bowed happily.
"Is the grape ice ready?"
"I will go and check it out right away. It should be fine now."
Normally, grapes were a rare commodity in the early summer. Jiang Nian was a concubine's daughter, and she could not go to her Ruixue Courtyard in the past, let alone eat them iced.
But she couldn't help but be pregnant with the second son of the Yongxing Marquis's family. The Yongxing Marquis's wife liked him very much, which was especially obvious in recent days.
The latest fruits, vegetables, fresh shrimps and tender fish have been delivered to Ruixueyuan in the past few days.
Even the big ice block was brought in two trucks, for fear that it would overheat Miss Jiang and make her precious grandson suffer.
Now the wind direction in the Duke's Mansion has changed again. When the maids and servants mentioned the Second Miss Jiang Nian, they no longer looked down on her as before, but drooled with envy and jealousy.
There is a cunning little maid who is ready to fight for the admission to Ruixue Courtyard so that she can please the future young lady of the Yongxing Marquis's Mansion in advance and then go to the Marquis' Mansion to enjoy the best of life!
