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

But Mother Wu seemed not to notice and just stood there motionless.

Seeing that she was in a daze and a little confused, Jiang Luo called her twice: "Mother Wu... Mother Wu..." Only then did Mother Wu react.

She glanced at the senior steward, quickly put down the tray in her hand, wiped the water stains on Jiang Luo's sleeves, lowered her head in a bit of a loss, and replied: "Miss, the cold drinks are ready. You and the senior steward should drink some quickly to get rid of the heat. I'll take my leave." After that, without waiting for Jiang Luo to answer, she immediately turned around and walked out, as if she was escaping.

Mother Wu was the person closest to her, apart from Mingxu, Wangyou and other senior maids.

When Jiang Luo saw her like this, he immediately became suspicious.

Since Madam Wu came back to her side and became the housekeeper, she was not only kind to her, but all the maids in the yard were both respectful and fearful of her.

Mother Wu even scolded Rendong, who was beside her. Has anyone ever seen the look on Mother Wu's face at this moment?

Although the senior manager was very enthusiastic towards Mother Wu, they were only friendly because they were both elderly people around her mother.

The two knew each other when they were in Guangling, and later they came to Yongjing together with her mother, so their feelings were different. But when they met again, they were just a little excited.

Could it be that... this Manager Meng has a close relationship with Mother Wu, or that Manager Meng is such a capable person, willing to come all the way from the Wu family to work for her. In addition to her uncle's instructions, is there any other purpose?

Jiang Luo thought about this and immediately asked, "Uncle Gao, does Manager Meng know Madam Wu?"

The senior manager sighed, "Alas, I only know a little. Old Meng and Mother Wu once admired each other. When Madam was still a young lady in the Wu family, she knew that the two of them were interested in each other and tried to bring them together. But later... later..."

"Something happened later? Was it because my mother was going to marry far away in the capital, so the two of us had to separate?" If that's the case, ah...

The senior manager waved his hands quickly, "No, no... Miss, please don't misunderstand me. Madam is the best person in the world and will never watch them separate."

"Oh, it's Old Meng. His family was poor when he was young, so he went out to make a living. Later, he met the eldest master who appreciated him and brought him up. His relatives were jealous of him because he was doing well in the Wu family. His aunt and his biological parents said that they had arranged for him to be married to his uncle's cousin since he was a child. The two families were engaged as children, so..."

"Damn it. How is this different from kidnapping? So Manager Meng admitted it?" Jiang Luo was a little angry. No wonder Mother Wu wanted to comb her hair herself. In addition to being able to take care of her mother without distraction, Manager Meng must have been another reason.

"Hey, Miss, I'm not trying to excuse Old Meng. Old Meng is also a pitiful man. What can he do? The old couple Meng are his biological parents. They are determined to threaten him with death, fearing that he won't agree to marry that cousin... If anyone wants to blame someone, it can only be blamed on that evil aunt of the Meng family!"

Jiang Luo listened to Manager Meng's story, and although he was still a little angry at Manager Meng, he also knew that this was the way the world was. If it was really the biological parents who threatened to die, there was really no other good way.

In this way, neither of them was wrong, it was just fate that played tricks on them.

Hey……

The senior manager finished the cold drink brought by Madam Wu and stood up to take his leave. "Miss, I will do as you say when I get back. As soon as I find out about the gambling house, I will send someone to inform you immediately."

"Okay." Jiang Luo also stood up and sent him to the door, then walked towards Mother Wu's room.

"Mom Wu, are you there?" Jiang Luo asked as he knocked gently on the door.

After a while, the door creaked open, and Mother Wu said with a forced smile: "Miss, have you discussed it with the senior management?"

Jiang Luo stared into her eyes and nodded: "We have discussed everything. Besides, I also asked about the matter between you and Manager Meng."

In this cold Duke's Mansion, Mother Wu was her home and comfort. She didn't want to hide anything from Mother Wu, unless it was something very dangerous about her.

Mother Wu was startled, then sat back on the stool without saying anything. If it were any other day, she would not be so rude.

Jiang Luo didn't care. She also sat next to Mother Wu, hugged her arm, and said, "If you don't want to see him, I will have someone wait outside the city gate in a few days and let him go back to where he came from. He is not welcome here, okay?"

"No... this is too easy for him. I will chase him away first, then hire two people to rob him of his money, and then beat him up severely, so that he... wuwu..."

Mother Wu's eyes were slightly red. She gently covered Jiang Luo's mouth and said, "Miss, there is no need. I am already over 40 years old and I am no longer the same person I used to be. I guess he and I are not meant to be together."

She let go of Jiang Luo: "Miss, you don't have to send him back to Guangling for this old slave. He was very smart back then, and he has been with the master for so many years, so he must be even more useful now. Otherwise, the master would not have sent him here. He can help you, and this old slave has no regrets in his heart, so don't think too much."

Jiang Luo said this originally to make Mother Wu happy. However, as long as Mother Wu nodded, she would definitely do so.

Mother Wu is the person closest to her, no one can compare to her!

Jiang Luo wanted to say something else, but Mother Wu held his hand back: "Miss, what this old servant said is all true. You can just use him. He is... trustworthy."

Seeing how anxious she was, Jiang Luo nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll listen to you. But you must not worry about the people you missed in the past. If you treat yourself badly, I will be sad, and if I am sad, you will be distressed!"

Mother Wu touched her head lovingly and said dotingly, "Okay, okay... Miss, don't worry, I will take good care of myself and accompany you well..."

Jiang Luo leaned his head on Mother Wu's shoulder and nodded, but his eyes were particularly sharp.

Humph, when the people come, she must have a good meeting with this Manager Meng. Let's see who he is, who has offended Mother Wu for so many years, and how dare he come here!

In fact, Meng Jin was really wronged.

He had not been to school for many years, but he was smart and clever. After struggling in Guangling City for several years, he finally had the opportunity to show his face in front of Wu Song, the eldest master of the Wu family.

Because his original home was outside the city, his father would take him to the mountains to hunt when he was not working. Over time, he also understood the habits of some animals.

One day, I rescued a little wild horse on the way back from hunting. I took it home and took care of it for some time, so I have some experience in taking care of horses.

Later, because the family needed food for the New Year and had no money to buy food, they sold the little wild horse they had picked up and got a lot of silver in return.
