Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow
Chapter 186 This was all forced upon me.
However, Old Mrs. Qi heard the answer she wanted from her brief words, and her mood immediately improved.
She burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, I like your personality. I don't need to bother with your idea. If you have something to do in the future, come to my yard to find me. If you have nothing to do, you can also come to my yard to find me..."
Jiang Luo was confused by her words.
She just felt that the old lady in front of her was the most interesting person she had ever met in her two lifetimes.
He really looks like the naughty boy in the storybook!
After the two of them, grandma and granddaughter, strolled around the shady place in the garden, they were almost there, at the courtyard that Jiang Zhou had arranged for Old Lady Qi.
From a distance, one could see servants busying about outside the courtyard gate. The white walls and gray tiles had been cleared of weeds, and the courtyard gate had been cleaned.
To be able to achieve this in such a short period of time shows that Liu's prestige and status have indeed improved a lot in the one month that he has been in power.
Jiang Luo sent Old Lady Qi into the house, and listened to her name the courtyard, Jingxinju, before he left.
When her figure disappeared, the old women in the yard retreated. Old Madam Qi sat casually on the bed, added incense to the incense burner on the small table, and asked in a low voice: "How sincere do you think she is?"
Cui Ying's eyes turned slightly, and she replied carefully: "Whether it is sincere or not, I can't tell at this moment. But this young lady's personality is very similar to yours when you were young."
"Alas, I'm not as good as her. If I were really as smart as her and knew how to fight for myself, I wouldn't be used by others and become a lonely person." Old Mrs. Qi sighed.
Seeing that she was thinking about sad things again, Cui Ying wanted to change the subject by saying something else: "Madam, the eldest lady is right. Living alone is sometimes better than living in a seemingly lively and actually fake life. This kind of liveliness may collapse at any time, so why bother about it?"
After hearing this, Old Lady Qi was indeed relieved. She chuckled and said, "This little girl is really good at persuading people."
"Yes, I think the eldest lady is more insightful than the other young ladies and masters in the mansion."
Old Madam Qi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Perceptive? This is all forced out. Look at what happened in the ancestral hall today. She is just a little girl. How can she hinder them? A bunch of shameless people are so aggressive. Isn't it because she lost her mother, is not liked by Jiang Zhou, and has a sinister stepmother instigating behind her back?"
Cui Ying nodded in agreement, but she was thinking in her heart that her wife was just like Miss Jiang today, who was forced by so many people to be unable to return home and became a widow at a young age.
In life, we are not afraid of ups and downs, but we are afraid of the days when we cannot escape and can foresee the end at a glance.
"Decades have passed, and these people haven't made any progress. They can only talk about benevolence, righteousness, morality, filial piety, and respect, and use their reputation to pressure others to agree. Apart from these, what else can they do? They can do nothing, and yet they all act very decent." Old Lady Qi became more and more angry as she spoke, and suddenly felt that she should be more domineering in the ancestral hall today.
She came back this time to vent her anger. She wanted to vent all the anger she had accumulated over the past few decades on that bitch Qin Juan.
If Qin Juan can't bear it and dies first, then her niece Qin Xiu Yue will suffer for her!
Aren't they like mother and daughter? Hehe...
Cui Ying was previously a killer under Jiang Hai, and was later selected by him and sent to Jiang Baozhi to take care of and protect Jiang Baozhi's safety. Therefore, she was not very clear about many things in the Duke's Mansion.
Today in the ancestral hall, she saw Madam Jiang and Qin, who were very disgusted with this eldest daughter. Jiang Yin also did not respect this eldest sister very much, calling her Jiang Luo all the time, as if she was calling a maid.
At that time, she thought that what Miss Jiang said in the ancestral hall, about "Ling Xun admiring Jiang Yin" might be true.
Thinking of this, she asked worriedly, "Madam, are they really planning to marry someone else? Then the young lady will be in danger..."
Old Madam Qi sneered, "Like mother, like son. How can the Qin family have a good person like Qin Juan? If she could say something like this, it seems that the Qin mother and daughter have been thinking about marrying off someone else for a long time."
He added, "It is dangerous, but as long as Qin wants her daughter to marry into that damned marquis's mansion, the little girl will not die in the Duke's mansion. I guess more accidents will happen outside."
When Cui Ying heard her say this and thought about what he had learned in the mansion today, he felt his scalp tingling.
Not everyone can survive in this prestigious compound.
"Madam, you guessed right. The eldest lady had just returned home a few days ago when she frightened her horse on the street and almost fell to her death. And..." Cui Ying told Mrs. Qi everything she had found out today.
Finally, Mrs. Qi changed from her initial sneer to clapping her hands, smiling with shining eyes, "The disciple is better than the master... This little girl is really good. What did you say... She is very similar to me when I was young? Do you think they are similar? If I had her brains and thoughts when I was young, I would never have come to this point today!"
"Yes, yes, yes, it was I who underestimated the young lady." Seeing that she was happy, Cui Ying also agreed.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..." As for what he didn't expect, Cui knew it very clearly.
Suddenly, she changed the subject: "Cui Ying, tell me, if I can have such a wonderful granddaughter around me in the future, wouldn't that be great?"
Cui Ying almost burst into tears when he heard this.
In the first few years, her wife had given up since she knew she couldn't return home to remarry and have her own children. Words like today were not allowed to be mentioned by anyone around her, let alone by herself.
In the summer, she accompanied her wife to the house in the mountains to escape the heat. There were fewer people there, it was quieter, the scenery was better, and her wife would be in a better mood.
When autumn and winter came and the weather turned cold, it was hard to walk on the road if you wanted to eat something fresh, so she accompanied her wife back to the farm at the foot of the mountain.
This was the time when the lady was in the worst mood.
Although the families living next to the village were poor, at night when they had dinner, one could always hear the voices of children, chirping like the sparrows in the crabapple tree in the yard.
Two different lives separated by a wall.
She knew that the lady was heartbroken, unwilling, and would regret it for the rest of her life...
"Cui Ying? Do you think it's inappropriate?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mrs. Qi asked again.
Cui Ying quickly turned her back and wiped her face twice with her sleeves, smiling and replied: "How could that be! I just think it's great and I'm happy for you. You have good taste and the person you like must be right. If she really respects you, I will also treat her as my mistress in my heart."
