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

Qin smiled and took Jiang Luo's hand and replied: "This is my eldest daughter, Luo'er. She just came back from the farm a few days ago..." She looked like a loving mother.

When the ladies heard "Zhuangzi came back", they looked at each other, and then their eyes changed when they looked at Jiang Luo...

In her previous life, Qin had introduced her in public in the same way. At that time, she was so embarrassed that her face turned red and she couldn't even complete a sentence.

Madam Zhao's voice was already loud, and now she was surprised and said, "So she is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She is really very pretty."

When the ladies behind her heard that it was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, they all showed curiosity.

This young lady had a tough fate and her mother died. She was also engaged to Ling Xun, the prince of Ningyang Marquis's Mansion. A few years ago, she was punished and sent to the farm for pushing her younger sister into the water.

He is very famous in Yongjing City and has a reputation as a vicious person.

Jiang Luo: Very good, very good... Even my own mother has come out...

The wife of the Duke of Yongxing also nodded and praised: "To be honest, the wife of the Duke is still blessed. Look at these three young ladies, each of them is as beautiful as a flower."

Mrs. Zhang, the Minister of Works, said, "Yes, but it's really not something you and I can learn to be as kind and loving as the Duke's wife."

Everyone knew what this meant.

"What the lady said is right. My sister was well-known for her gentleness and respect when she was in the boudoir. Now that she has come to the Duke's Mansion, no one has anything bad to say about her." Zhou's loud voice suddenly came.

Several people looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Lady Qin's sister-in-law Zhou who came.

There was a delicate young lady standing beside her. She bowed with a smile on her face and said, "Ying'er greets auntie and all the ladies."

Qin quickly pulled Qin Ying'er over and said to Zhou, "Sister-in-law, why are you saying these things? They are all things from the past and are not worth mentioning."

Zhou glanced at Jiang Luo with contempt, and then said to Qin with concern: "You just don't want to waste your breath. It's difficult for your stepmother, and you have to be appreciated for your kindness!"

Qin said helplessly, "My daughters are all respectful to me, so I can do this well."

The ladies present were all savvy people in the back house, how could they not see her helplessness?

Jiang Luo's expression suddenly changed.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Nian hurriedly asked, "Big sister, what's wrong with you?"

I saw that her originally rosy face turned a little pale, and her hands were tightly covering her stomach.

Qin hurried forward and asked anxiously: "Luo'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Yeah, big sister, don't scare me." Jiang Yin said gloatingly.

Qin Ying'er watched the show from the side with a look of disdain.

Jiang Luo replied weakly: "Mom, I...I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach and want to go to the toilet."

Qin suppressed her disgust and patted her chest, saying, "You scared me to death. I thought you were..."

Several ladies also covered their noses with their handkerchiefs, as if they had smelled a bad odor.

A young lady of noble status needs to go to the toilet right after arriving at someone else's house. It's really...

Jiang Nian followed up and said, "Why don't I go with my sister? I'm more familiar with the Bo's Mansion than my sister."

Qin also nodded and said, "Okay then..."

Jiang Luo interrupted her and replied, "Second sister, please stay with mother first. After all, we have just arrived at the Bo's Mansion... There is a maid from the Bo's Mansion to lead the way."

Jiang Nian thought about it and agreed.

The ladies' impression of Jiang Luo has plummeted, so it's better not to get involved with her at this time.

She nodded and said, "Okay then, Nian'er will listen to you, big sister."

Qin also nodded to the wife of the Earl of Yongxing.

"You, come here." Lady Yongxing didn't think there was anything wrong and instructed the maid at the door.

The maid respectfully walked up to the few people, and the wife of the Yongxing Earl instructed: "Take this young lady to the nearest courtesy room in the mansion. Don't neglect her."

"Yes, ma'am." Then she led Jiang Luo and Rendong out of the hall.

After they walked away, several people in the hall greeted Qin, Zhou and the wife of the Yongxing Earl, and sat down in their seats to continue listening to the opera.

However, a lady sitting alone in the corner looked at Jiang Luo's receding back with flickering eyes.

The corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she thought to herself: This young lady really doesn't care about her reputation...

The little girl next to her also looked curious.

After the song was finished, another song was sung: "Peach Blossom Fan".

"Madam Duke, the eldest lady is back. I wonder if the fourth lady of your family is feeling better now? Is she well now? Otherwise..." Madam Zhao asked curiously.

The ladies and young ladies in the capital city have nothing to do all day long, and their favorite thing is to gossip about other people, and then judge each other when they get together.

When she asked this question, the ladies beside her stretched their necks, waiting to listen to the gossip.

Qin sighed and said, "Alas... the fourth girl was already weak, and she... unfortunately fell into the water. Even though she has been taken care of for so many years, her body is still very weak."

After she finished speaking, she quickly took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Mrs. Zhao also frowned and sighed, "Oh, what a sin."

"Who said it wasn't?" Zhou continued with ill intent.

Xiu Yue could say that the marriage at Ningyang Marquis' Mansion must be for Jiang Yin.

By then, the Qin family will also rise with the tide. Will she still have to worry about Ying'er's marriage?

Madam Zhang also patted the table and said, "It is only because you are kind-hearted that you let this evil creature return home."

Everyone sighed after hearing this.

The wife of the Yongxing Earl just stared at the stage without interrupting. The more excited they talked, the better...

Qin lowered her eyes, looking somewhat embarrassed, and shook her head and said, "Oh, it's difficult for stepmother..."

Several ladies nodded in agreement.

Madam Zhao asked again: "Then the reputation of this young lady has been ruined. I am afraid that the engagement with the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion... What are the plans of the Duke's Mansion?"

When Qin heard her mention the engagement, she sighed again: "Ah, the Duke and I have discussed this matter before, and it is really difficult..."

Qin didn't say the next words, but the ladies all understood, and she saw it all.

Madam Zhang heard the meaning behind the words and asked, "Does the Duke have other plans?"

Qin then nodded slowly: "Ah... we don't have any other options. The Duke's Mansion cannot send a young lady with a bad reputation to the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion to be the Crown Prince's wife. This is disrespectful to the Queen."

He said with embarrassment, "But this is the last wish of the elders of the two mansions, and we have no choice but to obey. We can only choose another one from the mansion who is more virtuous, eloquent, and talented to marry into the Marquis's mansion..."

After hearing her words, all the ladies thought they made sense.

Even if the Duke's Mansion really changed people in the future, it would be understandable in the eyes of everyone.

After all, the Ningyang Marquisate is the Empress's maternal family, the most powerful and influential family in the Yong Dynasty.

Which family, having received such a good marriage proposal, would be willing to give it to an outsider?
