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

Later, when he was almost exhausted, he once sobered up. He held the two brothers' hands and told them, "I have made great achievements in my military career and brought glory to the Jiang family. Although I am not always with you, I think I am a qualified father. Your mother is short-sighted, and you should not leave important matters in the family to her. After I leave...you two brothers should live in harmony and discuss everything."

"And your aunt... the person I feel most guilty towards in my life is her. I only have this one sister, but... I couldn't protect her. When I'm gone, you two should treat her the same way you treated me. As long as she doesn't harm your lives, you must not disobey her in any way. This Duke's Mansion is her home. If she wants to come back, let her go. No one of you can stop her. Otherwise, I won't be able to live in peace even in the underworld..."

That night, their father said a lot of things, but he spoke more seriously about their aunt.

Jiang Zhou and Jiang Miao looked at each other. It was obvious that they both thought of what their father said before he died.

Although neither of them had any great abilities, they still respected their deceased father the most.

Besides, Jiang Zhou is now working in the Ministry of Rites. If word spreads that he is unfilial to his aunt, he will immediately become the target of criticism from the censors.

Who are those censors? They are lunatics who dare to report even the Jinyiwei. He can't resist them.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou also echoed, "Father told us since we were young that my aunt was a meritorious official of the Duke's Mansion. We brothers are very happy that you are willing to return to live in the mansion. In the future, we two brothers will serve you as we serve our mother." After saying this, he did not forget to wink at Jiang Miao.

Mother Qin kept trying to calm down Old Madam Jiang.

Jiang Miao understood. He glanced at Madam Jiang, who looked unhappy, and said, "Brother is right. Miao'er thinks so too. Since you are back, you can stay in the mansion with peace of mind."

"Good children, sit down quickly, sit down quickly." Old Madam Qi watched them sit down kindly, then looked at Mother Qin and Old Madam Jiang: "Ah, sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are you blaming me?"

Madam Jiang nodded. She wanted to shout out loud, "Yes, I blame you, you bitch. Why did you come back when you were half buried in the ground? You want my son to see you off to the grave? You wish!"

Unfortunately, she couldn't shout out.

Old Madam Qi pretended not to see the disgust in her eyes, and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief: "I knew... I knew that my eldest sister-in-law resented me. You resented me for being angry with my brother for so many years, and only now did I realize it and return to the Duke's Mansion. You must want me to come back earlier to enjoy my life, right?"

Without waiting for Madam Jiang to refute, she pointed at the things in the room and said, "At least half of the splendor and wealth of this Duke's Mansion was gained by a widow like me. It is natural for you to want me to come back and enjoy the good life with you, sister-in-law. I don't blame you. I'm back now, right? Don't be angry..."

If Cui Ying behind her hadn't been very powerful, he would have burst into laughter long ago.

Look, her wife must have been practicing in the mountains for a long time, and her mouth alone has become very clever. Otherwise, how could her words be so irritating...

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang almost vomited three liters of blood.

When did she say that she wanted Jiang Baozhi to return to the Duke's Mansion to enjoy a good life?

The hat was worn so high and steeply, and in front of her two sons, it really made her feel terribly blocked.

You, Jiang Baozhi, are actually an old lotus!

When the masters were talking, Mother Qin did not dare to interrupt. If the young ladies in the mansion were fine, she could still scold them for the sake of the old lady's face, but she did not dare to offend the one in front of her.

She could only try her best to help Madam Jiang breathe smoothly, so that she wouldn't faint from lack of breathing.

Madam Jiang pointed at Madam Qi across from her with shaking hands, and said incoherently: "When did I ever care about you, you wimp..."

Seeing this, Jiang Zhou hurriedly held Madam Jiang's hand and advised, "Mother, the food is getting cold. I will serve you first."

Jiang Miao also stepped forward and said, "Yes, yes, mother, aunt, let's eat first!"

"Yes, sister-in-law, don't be angry. I have no intention of leaving since I came back today. From now on, I will stay in the Duke's Mansion and keep you company." Old Lady Qi also pretended to persuade.

Seeing her son constantly winking at her, Mrs. Jiang suppressed the fishy sweetness in her throat, glared at Mrs. Qi opposite her, snorted, and pulled her hand back.

Mother Qin tried to smooth things over, saying, "Aunt, the old lady has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She was like this when she was young, and you know that. Now the old lady is ill, not only is she not feeling well, but she can't even utter a complete sentence. Please don't argue with her..."

That's a very clever point.

It was obvious that she was bullying Madam Jiang because she couldn't speak and had difficulty walking.

Old Madam Qi glanced at Madam Qin meaningfully, then put away her handkerchief. She let Jiang Miao serve her some food, and she ate it with relish.

Mother Qin felt a little embarrassed when she looked at her, and cold sweat broke out on her back.

After the meal was over, when the maid cleared away the leftovers on the table, Old Lady Qi helped Cui Ying stand up. She looked down at Old Lady Jiang and said, "Ah, the food here is more exquisite. I haven't had any decent food in all these years outside the mansion. In the future, I will have to be shameless and come to your Fu'an Hall to eat every day. Sister-in-law, you won't be unwelcome, right?"

Madam Jiang had recovered as usual by now, and seeing Madam Qi's attitude, she knew that she was determined to return to the Duke's Mansion this time, so she suppressed her confusion, nodded reluctantly and said, "Hmm~"

"That's good. My two good nephews, I'm old, and my back and waist ache just after a meal. I'll go back first, and you guys can stay with your sister-in-law for a while longer." After saying this, Mrs. Qi turned around and walked out.

If she hadn't wanted to piss off that vicious woman Qin Juan, she would have burned down Fu'an Hall and never set foot inside.

"Goodbye, aunt." Jiang Miao bowed behind her.

Jiang Zhou, however, put away his previous respectfulness and sat down again with an impatient look on his face.

After the backs of the master and servant disappeared down the corridor, Jiang Zhou sighed, "Mother, since my aunt wants to live back home, just let her stay. Your body can't stand it now."

Madam Jiang snorted again.

He continued to persuade her, "Mother, we are such a big Duke's Mansion, we will never lack a meal for Aunt, nor will we lack a courtyard for her to live in. Why do you have to be angry with her? In the end, won't it be your health that will be damaged by anger?"

Jiang Miao, who was sitting next to him, felt uncomfortable when he heard what he said.
