After Jindong finished applying the medicine, the master and his two servants returned to the mansion. Jiang Zhou, who had not returned to the Duke's Mansion for two days, was waiting in the study.

With him were the crying Qin and Jiang Yin.

Jiang Luo had just entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion when she was stopped by Manager Zhou: "Miss, the Duke is waiting for you in the study, please come in!"

Jiang Luo: Can I take a break?

She turned around and told Wangyou, "You go back first."

Honeysuckle said worriedly, "Miss, go by yourself..."

"It's okay, don't worry, go ahead." Jiang Luo comforted the two.

Wangyou then supported Rendong and walked towards Shaoguangyuan.

After a while, she followed Manager Zhou to Jiang Zhou's study.

The door was open and Jiang Luo walked straight in.

Qin, who was sitting at the bottom, almost popped her almond-shaped eyes out when she saw Jiang Luo.

Mother Cao was beaten with a stick and sold to a pawnbroker. Now no one knows whether she is alive or dead, and no one knows where she has ended up.

Her child could have been full of life, but now he has to drink bitter medicine every day.

All this is because of that little bitch Jiang Luo!

Now, she dared to be so arrogant and domineering that she took away all of Yin'er's things...

Jiang Yin, who was standing by, started sobbing.

When Jiang Zhou heard this, he got a headache.

If I had known he would not come back, life in this mansion is getting more and more miserable. It is really better for him to be comfortable outside.

When he saw Jiang Luo coming in, he asked directly, "Why did you take the things from your third sister's room?"

"When did I steal Third Sister's things? How come I didn't know?" Jiang Luo replied pretending to be ignorant.

"You're talking nonsense. The day before yesterday, it was you who brought the people in your yard to steal the things in my room, and you even wanted to hit me, wuwu..." Jiang Yin cried.

Jiang Zhou stared at her, as if wanting to hear her explanation.

"Luo'er, I know you feel sorry for Mama Wu because she is an old lady by your mother's side, but she is a servant after all, and you can't obey her in everything." Qin advised earnestly.

Jiang Luo sneered.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Qin always knew how to speak and could immediately provoke Jiang Zhou's anger.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhou angrily said, "Come here, take Wu..."

"Father!" Jiang Luo interrupted him.

She raised her voice and said, "Father, I didn't take anything from my third sister's room. I just took away my mother's things that Jiang Yin had hidden. You promised me that my mother's dowry would belong to me."

Jiang Zhou's thoughts were interrupted by her. After listening to her words, he looked at Jiang Yin again.

Jiang Yin's eyes were evasive as she said, "Those were things my mother gave me. When did they become your mother's?"

Ever since Jiang Luo took away the things in the house that day, she asked Zi Fu, who was by her side, to pay attention to when her father would return home every day.

After waiting for almost two days, she finally saw her father coming back. She immediately brought her mother over to complain.

She just wanted Jiang Luo to be punished, so when she complained, she did not clearly state what Jiang Luo took.

"I think I should help my third sister recall the past. I told you that day that there are marks on every item of my mother's dowry, no matter how big or small it is. You can find out once you check." Jiang Luo glanced at her and said in a loud voice.

Given Jiang Yin's personality, in order to get punished, she definitely didn't tell Jiang Zhou everything.

"So what even if it's your mother's things? Yin'er is your biological sister. Your mother has so many things, so what's wrong with giving her a few to use?" Qin glanced at Jiang Zhou and said aggrievedly.

After not seeing her for a few days, Qin seemed to have regained a lot of youth and was no longer as haggard as she was at the beginning.

At this time, he looked at Jiang Zhou with grievance, and Jiang Zhou immediately became distracted.

"Yes, what your mother said makes sense. There is no need to make such a clear distinction between sisters." Jiang Zhou also looked back at Qin and said.

Jiang Luo saw the eye-to-eye quarrel between the two very clearly.

I felt disgusted.

"In that case, I will soon be of age, and after that I will marry into the Ningyang Marquis's mansion and become the Crown Prince's wife. Mother, why don't you give me half of your dowry?"

"This will give the Duke's Mansion more face, and I will be more welcomed in the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion in the future. It will also be helpful for my father to gain some benefits in the Marquis' Mansion." Jiang Luo said while looking directly at Qin.

He wants her mother's things and says it so righteously.

In her previous life, she treated Jiang Yin as her own sister and Qin as her mother, but what did she get in return?

What I got in return was betrayal, humiliation, and abuse...

"Don't go too far!" Qin said sternly.

"Mother, don't do to others what you don't want others do to you. You don't want to give me any of your things, so I believe you can understand my mother. She definitely doesn't want to share her things with others, not even one piece." Jiang Luo said coldly.

Qin was speechless and had to look to Jiang Zhou for help.

Jiang Zhou was touched by her words.

He had heard from Steward Zhou that Jiang Luo went to Zhenguo Temple a few days ago and saved Princess Jing on the way back, and was therefore favored.

It is said that Princess Jing liked his eldest daughter very much. Not only did she send her many good things, she also invited her to visit Prince Jing's Mansion often.

If Jiang Luo could marry into Prince Jing's Mansion and become the wife of Prince Jing's son Lu Jin'an, then she would definitely be able to gain more benefits for the mansion.

What's more, Lu Jinan has real power.

What does it matter to him whether someone is cruel or not?

As long as he marries Jiang Luo, it will be Lu Jinan's business how to treat Jiang Luo.

Even if Jiang Luo was tortured to death, no one could change the fact that he was Lu Jinan's father-in-law!

How could he not gain any benefit from using this title?

Thinking of this, he made up his mind.

Jiang Zhou pretended not to see Qin's gaze. He lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and looked away.

Jiang Luo cannot offend anyone before the marriage is finalized.

Jiang Yin, who was standing by, became anxious when she heard Jiang Luo say that she wanted to marry into the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion.

"Jiang Luo, stop dreaming. With your current reputation, how could the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion still want you?" Jiang Yin said sarcastically.

Jiang Luo's eyes turned, and he looked at Jiang Yin and deliberately replied, "I have an engagement, so I'm not afraid that the Marquis's Mansion will not recognize it. Third sister, you don't have to worry about me. You're almost coming of age, so mother should find you a boyfriend, right?"

Jiang Yin's heart skipped a beat.

Yes, she is also going to be a 15-year-old...

But the marriage arrangement of Ningyang Marquis' Mansion has not yet fallen on her.

She looked at Qin with a hint of doubt.

When will the things my mother said be accomplished?

While everyone was thinking differently, Jiang Luo bowed and said, "Father, if everything is alright, I will go back."

Jiang Zhou quickly waved his hand, signaling her to leave quickly.

Jiang Luo glanced at Qin and walked away with a swagger.

That look was full of provocation.

The Qin family has been too quiet recently, and Jiang Luo is always worried.

Although Jiang Huai's matter was in the way, she was still a little uneasy.

She thought that Qin must be planning a big move!

Let's go back to Shaoguangyuan first. I wonder if Nanxing has come back? How is the matter I told her to do?
