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

The maids in the room were all silent, just following Madam Qin's instructions and taking whatever she was told to take, so as to avoid provoking the old lady and bringing trouble upon herself.

Now the old lady's temper is getting weirder and weirder, and only Mother Qin can stand it.

Jiang Nian was also allowed to attend today's birthday banquet because of Madam Jiang's birthday.

She was also favored by Old Madam Jiang. Even after Jiang Yin and Jiang Chen came into being, she was still better than Jiang Luo.

When she was under house arrest, the Duke's Mansion's excuse to the public was that she had to pray for Old Madam Jiang's copying of scriptures and that was why she had no time to show up.

Therefore, Jiang Nian must prepare the birthday gift carefully and more attentively than others, so as to dispel everyone's doubts.

After all, the rumors about Jiang Nian in Yongjing City had just passed. If she didn't show up for no reason, those gossipers would make up a story about the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Miss, if this birthday gift today can win the old lady's favor and release you from house arrest, it will be worth your half a month of writing and embroidering, and you have lost a lot of weight." Yulan de-seeded the grapes she had just peeled and gently passed them to Jiang Nian's mouth.

Jiang Nian opened her cherry lips and ate the grapes in her hand, but she said clearly: "Grandma will definitely like it."

Apart from anything else, she was very clear about the preferences of Madam Jiang, Qin, Jiang Zhou, Jiang Yin and others.

At this time, Yue Jian came out from the inner room with her head down, bowed slightly and said, "Miss, I have taken out all the clothes for you. Please go and see which one you want to wear to the birthday banquet."

Yulan glanced at Jiang Nian, and seeing that she didn't say anything, she boldly rebuked her, "You can't even do such a small thing, and you are the second young lady's personal maid! Our young lady will be the young lady of the Marquis's mansion in the future, so she must wear the scarlet Four Happiness and Ruyi gold-sprinkled gauze dress that the Yongxing Marquis's wife sent a few days ago."

Yue Jian glared at her, and couldn't help herself, so she retorted: "This is what the young lady told me to do. The young lady has her own ideas, and we servants just listen to her. What we fear most is that some people take advantage of the master's favor and become more unruly."

Yulan glanced at Jiang Nian and saw that she seemed not to have heard anything and was still eating snacks with her head down. She said with some pride: "What do you know! Today is the old lady's birthday banquet, the Duke's Mansion is hosting a banquet for guests, and the wife of the Yongxing Earl must have received the invitation early, so she sent the dress. If the second young lady wore the dress she sent to attend the birthday banquet today, she would definitely think that our second young lady is respectful and gentle, and she would value the second young lady more in the future."

The second young lady was going to marry into the Yongxing Marquis's mansion, and she and Yuejian, as personal maids, had to go with her. In the future, the more important the second young lady was in the Marquis's mansion, the easier their lives would be as dowry maids.

So, start trying to please Lady Yongxing from now on!

When Jiang Nian heard this, he agreed very much.

She was about to marry into the Yongxing Marquis's mansion, and the most important thing now was to please the Yongxing Marquis's wife.

She patted the snack residue on her hands and glanced at Yue Jian: "Okay, how disrespectful it is so early in the morning!"

Yulan and Yuejian knelt down hurriedly: "Second Miss, please calm down."

Although Yulan was also kneeling, she knew that Jiang Nian was most likely scolding Yuejian, and she immediately felt very proud.

"Just do as Yulan said. Pick out that scarlet dress and match it with jewelry. I'll go change into it later. Don't delay in paying respects to grandma." Jiang Nian instructed Yue Jian.

"Yes, Second Miss." After hearing the order, Yue Jian hurriedly stood up and walked towards the inner room.

Yulan gave her a mocking look and also stood up to serve Jiang Nian.

In Shaoguang Courtyard, Jiang Luo was being served meals by Mother Wu and Wangyou.

Today was a birthday banquet, and the mansion was very busy, so there was no need to go to Fu'an Hall to pay respects too early. Everyone had breakfast in their own rooms, and when the time came, they would gather in Fu'an Hall.

Perhaps to pique everyone's interest, the breakfast sent by the kitchen today was particularly sumptuous.

He also got a small plate of Guangming grilled shrimp, which is rarely available. This is the benefit of being the head of the Liu family.

The rest were West Lake beef soup, bamboo shoots and fern wontons, sugar-coated meat steamed buns, Jiangyao soup, Zaohuangya, a bowl of bamboo shoots and pork noodles, a plate of cloud cake and a cup of deer pear soup.

The eight-immortal table was fully stocked, and Mother Wu prepared a bowl of longevity porridge for Jiang Luo in the small kitchen and placed it in front of her.

This longevity porridge was specially prepared by Wangyou for Jiang Luo. It not only contains honey for flavoring, but also astragalus to replenish qi and blood.

In the seven days, Jiang Luo would drink this porridge at least three times in the morning, and today was no exception. But Jiang Luo was not picky, as long as it was delicious, she would be happy to taste it.

What's more, this porridge is only good for her body and no harm, so she is even happier. Every time Mother Wu sees her eat cleanly, she looks satisfied and relieved.

After Jiang Luo had eaten and drunk his fill, Mingxu and Rendong came on stage. They helped Jiang Luo wash his face, one put on makeup for him, and the other arranged his clothes.

The two maids were trying their best to clear their young lady's name, and today was a perfect time as there were so many people around.

It is time for those gossipers in Yongjing City to take a good look at the fact that their young lady is supposed to be a goddess who has descended to earth, and not the lowly Pu Cao they are talking about.

After a while, when Jiang Luo was dressed up, Wangyou came in with a purse and handed it to Rendong: "Miss, take the purse with you. There are many people here today, just in case."

Jiang Luo looked at her with some ambiguity and asked, "Have you installed everything you need to install?"

Wangyou nodded: "Don't worry, nothing is missing."

Jiang Luo then signaled to Rendong to tie the purse around her waist.

At this time, Nanxing also walked in and whispered, "Miss, something happened."

Mingxu and Wangyou looked at each other and turned to the window. They watched the movement outside the corridor while listening to the conversation between their young lady and Nanxing.

Honeysuckle continued to tie the purse string in her hand, and the young lady's talking did not interfere with her work.

"What happened?" Jiang Luo raised his eyes and asked.

"It's the kitchen. I have been keeping an eye on the kitchen as you ordered. This morning, before dawn, I saw Mrs. Xiao, who was in charge of purchasing in the kitchen, taking advantage of the chaos to sprinkle several packets of medicine powder into the food of the cooking ladies."

Jiang Luo thought about it for a moment and then understood.

Mrs. Xiao was the first person in the kitchen to defect after Liu became the housekeeper.

She and Wang Po are jointly in charge of purchasing for the Duke's Mansion's kitchen. No matter who is in charge, they will not be replaced immediately.

Unless their masters have established themselves, and they commit crimes in front of their masters and want to bring bad luck upon themselves, otherwise, their positions will not be easily moved.

Liu had been in charge of the family for a short time and would not touch them, so when Mrs. Xiao turned against them, Liu always supported her!

I didn't expect it... Qin family really has some tricks up their sleeves.

Recovering his thoughts, Jiang Luo asked again: "How are the chefs? Is there anything unusual?"
