Jiang Zhou sent the doctor away, and when he returned to the house, Jiang Yin was feeding old lady Jiang water.

When he saw this scene, he thought of Qin.

If Qin were here, Fu'an Hall wouldn't be in such a mess, and he wouldn't be bothered by trivial matters.

Hey……

When Madam Jiang saw him coming back, she quickly pushed away the white jade ear spoon beside her mouth and reached out to Jiang Zhou.

He muttered, "Qin hum hum hum you hum..."

Jiang Zhou walked quickly to the bedside, held her hand and said, "Don't worry, mother. You should take good care of yourself. Leave the Qin family's affairs to me. I will definitely find a way to save them."

Only then did Mrs. Jiang feel relieved and nodded.

Jiang Yin, who was holding a bowl at the side, also breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, in Chunhua Courtyard, Mother Cao told Qin the news that the little maid had handed to her.

Qin snorted coldly: "She got what she wanted. She finally got the power to run the family."

Mother Cao consoled her, "Second Madam doesn't know the difficulties of being the head of a household. You have been in charge of the Duke's Mansion for so many years, and the power of the household cannot be taken away by her in a few days."

Qin sat in front of the sandalwood carved bronze mirror, staring at the face in the mirror that was no longer as bright as before.

A day has passed, and it feels like I have aged ten years.

In her hand she was playing with a red gold hairpin inlaid with eight-treasure butterflies and flowers, which was not something she should wear at her age. Looking closely, it seemed to be quite old, and there was a layer of dark color on it.

Qin stroked her hairpin, seeming to be lost in thought.

After a stick of incense.

She handed the hairpin to Mother Cao and said, "Mother Cao, find a chance tomorrow and take this to him and tell him to come here to see me."

"Madam, no, you can't do that...please wait a little longer..." Mother Cao said in surprise.

"We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the Qin family will be finished. Mother Cao, I can't just watch the Qin family disappear like this." She tightly grasped the hairpin in her hand and said to Mother Cao in front of her.

Mother Cao still advised: "Miss, you haven't contacted him in these years. If you go now... the Duke will not sit idly by. He will definitely save the Qin family."

Qin retracted her gaze, looked at the hairpin in her hand, and sneered, "Jiang Zhou? Hehehe... He won't care. In his heart, no one can compare to his position as Duke."

"Mom, believe it or not, if the Qin family implicates the Duke's Mansion this time, Jiang Zhou will definitely abandon me without hesitation."

Mother Cao wiped her tears and sighed, "But he...how do you know he will definitely help you?"

Qin looked at herself in the bronze mirror, she smiled and said, "Mom, just go ahead. I have plenty of ways to deal with him."

Only then did Mother Cao take the hairpin and turned to leave.

The next day, before dawn, Mother Wu pulled Jiang Luo out of bed.

She stood in front of the bed, pinching her waist, and said with full energy: "Miss, listen to the noise in the yard. Honeysuckle has been practicing the dog-beating stick for half an hour. You can't stay in bed."

Jiang Luo, with his messy black hair, said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm so sleepy. I'll sleep for another hour, just one hour..." After that, he lay down again.

Mingxu was laughing like a fool on the side: Her young lady is so pretty... Her young lady is never ugly!

In the end, Jiang Luo was pulled up by Mother Wu.

She closed her eyes and let Mingxu dress her. Then she half-opened her eyes and was pushed into the yard by Mingxu. She followed Rendong and learned to sing “hum, huh, ha, hey”…

An hour later, the two were sweating profusely.

Jiang Luo felt that his body had become a lot lighter.

Mother Wu watched with great satisfaction.

By the time Jiang Luo finished washing up and changed into his going-out clothes, it was already the end of the noon hour.

She told Mingxu to go to the gatehouse and tell them to prepare the carriage as she was going out of the house.

Then, he took Rendong to Liu's Qiu Shuiyuan.

Qiu Shui Courtyard is just to the west of the corridor, standing side by side with Chun Hua Courtyard.

In the past, when the Qin family was in charge, Chunhua Courtyard was bustling with people coming and going at this time, with housekeepers from various places going in and out, and it was very lively, while Qiu Shui Courtyard was always deserted.

Now, the situation is reversed.

When Jiang Luo arrived at Qiu Shui Courtyard, Liu was very busy.

When she learned the purpose of Jiang Luo's visit, she replied with a smile on her face: "Go ahead, go ahead. If Chen'er wasn't weak, I would let her go with you." After that, she waved her hand without even raising her head.

Jiang Luo took Rendong out of the door smoothly.

Honeysuckle sighed, "Miss, it's better for the Second Madam to be the head of the household."

Jiang Luo smiled and said, "That's because I am still useful to her. If I am no longer useful to her, you can look at me later."

"Oh..." the little maid sighed.

After a while, the two arrived at Mingyuzhai mentioned in the letter.

This is one of the favorite jewelry and jade shops for the ladies and young ladies in Yongjing City.

As Jiang Luo and Rendong got off the carriage, a servant from the shop came out to greet them.

"Miss, please come in. We have some good stuff in our shop today. Please take a look at it. If there is anything you like, I will keep it for you." The servant introduced respectfully.

Jiang Luo walked into the shop and ordered, "Second floor, Room A."

The servant was stunned for a moment, then immediately said more respectfully: "Okay, please come in, miss." He walked in front, leading the way for Jiang Luo, and bent his waist a little lower.

There are private rooms on the second floor of Mingyuzhai, which are specially prepared for ladies of noble status.

But Room A is not known to outsiders.

Only the real boss behind Mingyuzhai can enter.

Jiang Luo followed the servant all the way up to the second floor, turned left and walked to the end, and arrived at the door of a house.

She stood at the door and thought for a long time.

In her previous life, her third uncle had twice rushed to the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion to pick her up to go to Jiangnan, but she refused both times.

At that time, she believed what Qin said and thought that merchants were lowly. She was also always afraid of being laughed at by the young ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital, so she cut off all ties with her uncles...

"Miss, Miss..." Honeysuckle shook her young lady.

Jiang Luo was shaken back to his senses by her and quickly collected his thoughts.

The servant stood at the door and made a gesture of invitation.

She pushed the door open swiftly, while Honeysuckle watched from outside.

No matter who comes this time, she will never treat her loved ones the same way she did in her previous life.

She must protect them well for her mother.

The room was decorated in a very elegant style, but Jiang Luo didn't have time to appreciate the room at this moment.

She walked straight to the three-section screen carved with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum patterns, and saw a door. She entered the door and walked along the corridor for a cup of tea before arriving at a small courtyard.

There was a man standing in the yard.

The man was tall and slender, wearing a white robe, with his black hair tied up with a fine white jade crown. At this moment, he had his back to her.

Perhaps he heard footsteps, so he turned around and looked towards Jiang Luo.

By the time he saw the person's face clearly, Jiang Luo was already crying.

She knew it was her third uncle again.

Among the three uncles, except for him who looks like a scholar, the other two uncles are more heroic than him.

"Oh, oh, oh...Yaoyao...you, you...don't cry first, Yaoyao." Wu Yang was a little at a loss.
