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

"Oh, it would be nice if Sister Luo was also my father's daughter..." she said naively.

Mrs. Xie chuckled and tapped her forehead.

Dianguai said: "I see that you really like her. If you are worried that she will be bullied, just visit her more often in the future. Why sigh so much here?"

When Xie Qing heard this, she nodded rapidly.

"Mother is right. I go there every day to support Sister Luo. They won't dare to go too far."

The mother and daughter whispered to each other all the way as the carriage slowly drove towards Xie's mansion.

Two hours later, the other two carriages from the Duke's Mansion also returned.

Duke Jiang Zhou got off the carriage with a gloomy face and took Qin, Jiang Yin and Jiang Nian directly to Chunhua Courtyard.

After a while, Mother Cao came to Shaoguangyuan and said that the Duke wanted to invite Jiang Luo.

Mother Wu looked worried, but because Mother Cao was present, she did not say anything.

Jiang Luo patted her hands and comforted her, "Mom, it's okay. I want to eat the plain noodles you made. Go ahead and do your work. I'll be back soon."

Mother Wu knew exactly what she meant.

She just wiped away her tears secretly, feeling even more distressed for Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo took Rendong with him and walked all the way to Chunhuayuan.

As soon as she walked to the corridor, she heard someone crying breathlessly in the house.

Without a doubt, it was Jiang Nian.

Honeysuckle rolled her eyes angrily.

How can she still have the nerve to cry?

When the two entered the main room, they saw Duke Jiang Zhou sitting at the head of the table with a sullen face.

Qin sat at the bottom, twisting her handkerchief with a look of anxiety on her face.

Jiang Nian knelt in the middle of the room, and her maid Yue Jian knelt beside her.

Jiang Luo walked straight forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, father and mother."

Jiang Zhou and Qin's eyes were both directed at her.

Along with Jiang Nian's crying, it seemed as if the person who did something wrong was her, Jiang Luo.

But she still stood there openly, with her back straight, allowing the two men to look at her.

After a moment, Jiang Zhou said, "I already know what happened today. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."

Qin Yu didn't know what he had done wrong, but the Jinyiwei came to his house to arrest him.

If it involves the Duke's Mansion...

This naughty girl was once treated differently by Lord Lu.

If the Qin family really made a mistake.

Let's offer this girl first and follow Lord Lu's path...

Keep her calm first.

He added, "I know your mother very well. She is a very virtuous person and would never do such a thing to you. Moreover, Hong Er is a playboy from Yongjing. His words cannot be trusted."

Qin quickly agreed, "Yes, Luo'er, mother has always treated you as her own daughter, you have to trust mother!"

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows. These two are really...

It's so hypocritical and sickening.

Jiang Luo glanced at Jiang Zhou.

He said coldly: "I do believe in mother, but I don't know if those ladies today believe in mother."

Qin was choked and speechless.

Those ladies are all drama queens, how could they not understand what happened today?

She had worked so hard to build up her reputation over the years, but today most of it was ruined.

Jiang Luo glanced at the person still kneeling on the ground, chuckled and said, "Father, that second sister..."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhou was really furious.

All of them were raised in vain!

He glanced at Qin coldly.

Then he looked at the crying Jiang Nian and scolded him harshly: "Cry, cry, cry, just cry, shut up!"

Jiang Nian quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief to stop crying.

He then ordered, "Come here, the second young lady does not know etiquette and has damaged the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. From today on, she will be confined to the Ruixue Courtyard. No one is allowed to let her out without my order."

After saying that, several burly and strong women pulled Jiang Nian away.

Jiang Luo was puzzled. Her stepfather had always disliked her. Was his fortune declining today?

The room was quiet for a moment.

Jiang Zhou coughed twice before asking, "When did you meet Lord Lu from the Imperial Guard?"

The topic changed too quickly and Jiang Luo was confused by his question.

"Why is father asking this?" she asked back.

Jiang Zhou glanced at Qin, who immediately understood.

She quickly continued, "Luo'er, the Jinyiwei arrested your uncle for no reason. Mother remembered that you scared the horse that day, and Lord Lu came to the mansion. I wonder if you can..."

"No." Jiang Luo replied decisively.

She asked again in confusion: "Mother, you must have made a mistake. My uncle is doing well in Jiangnan. When was he arrested by the Jinyiwei?"

She was just saying, why is this cheap dad so hypocritical today.

It turns out that he wanted to take advantage of her.

Qin didn't expect that she would refuse so decisively and was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Zhou was immediately furious: "You..."

She interrupted Jiang Zhou and said, "I once saved Lord Lu's life, and that's how I got to know him. But who is Lord Lu? Father must know it, right? What's the value of saving my life?"

"How can it be nothing?" Jiang Zhou shouted angrily.

Qin was overjoyed when she heard this. She hurriedly said, "Yes, Luo'er, since you have done Lord Lu a favor, and now that the Qin family is in trouble, it is time for him to repay the favor."

Jiang Luo's lowered eyes were full of amusement.

Seeing the two of them being fooled around by her, she felt so relieved.

She said it on purpose.

She wanted to see dog eat dog.

"I'm doing this for my father's own good," she said hastily.

Jiang Zhou glanced at her and asked, "What do you mean?"

She replied, "Even if I can repay a favor, it's only once. Father, think about it carefully. If something really happens to the Qin family, it might implicate the Duke's Mansion... If I go to Lord Lu to plead for mercy, I won't be able to save the Duke's Mansion."

After hearing this, Jiang Zhou's expression became even more serious.

Jiang Luo struck while the iron was hot: "If I go to ask Lord Lu for help for the Qin family now..."

She glanced at Qin and said, "Mother, please don't forget that although you were a daughter of the Qin family before, you are now the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. You can't just think about the Qin family and ignore the people in the Duke's Mansion, right?"

Qin's heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Zhou also looked at Qin beside him, as if he was questioning her together with Jiang Luo.

Qin was startled and quickly lowered her eyes, her eyes full of cruelty.

This little bitch...

But she had to explain: "How could that be? I am already the wife of the Duke, so I must focus on the Duke's Mansion first."

Seeing Qin like this, Jiang Luo's sadness today was alleviated a lot.

The reason why she dared to say this was because in her previous life she had not heard of any news of Qin Yu committing a crime or the Qin family being raided.

Not only was the Qin family not confiscated, but during the snowstorm in this cold winter, the emperor promoted them to the fourth rank of Minister of Rites because of their donations of grain.

The Duke's Mansion has been spending too much in recent years, and the shop is only run so-so, with not much savings.

Judging from Qin's temperament, the money used to buy food was probably from the dowry her mother left her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Luo deliberately asked: "I wonder what your opinion is, father? If you decide to let me go to plead for the Qin family, I will have no choice but to go..."
