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

At this time, there were only mother and daughter left in the room.

Jiang Yin hurriedly advised: "Mother, why do you care about her? She should go out more often to show her face. Then the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion will not tolerate her."

"What do you know? She left the house just for those shops. Now Huai'er hasn't recovered yet, and I really have no time to take care of other things. If I let her take the opportunity to take back the shops, you will have less decent dowry when you marry into the Marquis's Mansion." Qin said with a frown as she sat on the Luohan bed.

Jiang Yin didn't dare to say anything.

As long as it was related to her marriage into the Marquis's Mansion, she didn't dare to make any decision casually.

"Madam, the wife of the Earl of Yongxing is here." Mei Qing reported outside the door.

Qin's mother and daughter looked at each other and stopped talking.

Let's put this matter aside for now. What's most urgent is to discuss Jiang Nian's marriage.

Nowadays, people in Yongjing City are discussing the Duke's Mansion and the Yongxing Earl's Mansion openly and secretly, and of course the Duke's Mansion is the first to be affected.

Yin'er's reputation cannot be affected by this.

Danyu hurried forward to help Qin tidy up her clothes and jewelry.

After Mother Cao was sold out, all the chores in Chunhua Courtyard were handed over to Mei Qing.

Danyu jumped from a second-class hairdressing maid to Qin's personal maid, and her status in Chunhua Courtyard was second only to Meiqing.

After she had tidied herself, Qin held her hand and walked towards the main hall.

Jiang Yin returned to Jinxiu Courtyard.

At this time, in the main hall, the wife of the Yongxing Earl had just taken a sip of tea when she saw Qin walking in.

She quickly put down her teacup, stood up and said warmly, "Hello, Madam Duke."

Although Qin had a slight smile on her face, she was not as friendly as usual.

As she sat up at the top, she raised her hand and said, "Madam, you are welcome. Please take a seat."

No matter what the reason was, what happened in the Bo Mansion that day was a done deal.

Although Jiang Nian is a concubine's daughter, she is still a concubine's daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

What kind of good is the second son of Hong?

If a playboy with no ambition dares to pick on the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, where will they put their faces if this gets out?

There has been no news from the Yongxing Earl's Mansion, and no one has come.

As the women, how could they go to the man's house to propose marriage?

The wife of the Earl of Yongxing had waited until now to come to the Duke's Mansion. Not only was she afraid of being implicated by the Qin family, but she had also greatly brought shame to the Duke's Mansion.

Even though Qin and she were close friends, she was still very dissatisfied.

The wife of the Earl of Yongxing also noticed Qin's dissatisfaction, so she had to sit back in the armchair awkwardly.

"Madam Duke, please calm down. It was really because my youngest son kept making a fuss that I...that's why I was delayed for some days." Lady Yongxing Marquis twisted the handkerchief in her hand and said carefully.

Qin glanced at her and replied, "It's been so long, I wonder how the discussion between Earl Yongxing and his wife went?"

With the Duke standing there, the Bo family didn't dare to say anything about letting Jiang Nian be a concubine.

Even if Hong Er was not happy about it, he did not have the final say in this matter.

Yongxingbo Hongyong is still relying on the river boat.

The most important thing is that no family in the entire Yongjing City is willing to let their daughter marry Hong Er.

He can now marry the concubine's daughter of the Duke's Mansion as his legal wife, which is not a wrong for him.

The wife of the Earl of Yongxing smiled awkwardly. She hesitated and said, "My Lord and I have already discussed it. Your second daughter and my boy are a perfect match. We should hire her as your concubine."

Qin was stunned for a moment and asked, "My dear concubine?"

Your concubine is also a concubine.

After waiting for so long, this is the result. Whose daughter would marry down and become a concubine?

There are rumors about this matter in the capital.

If Jiang Nian became a concubine.

Wouldn't this clearly tell everyone that the fault lies with the Duke's Mansion?

If Yin'er had a half-sister who was a concubine.

How would she, the wife of the prince of Ningyang Marquis's mansion, gain a foothold in the future?

The backbones of her and the Duke were about to be exposed.

"Yes, no matter how well your second young lady speaks, she is just a concubine's daughter. The concubine of the second young master of the marquis's family is no different from a common wife, and she is worthy of her status." Lady Yongxing Marquis did not think there was anything wrong with what she said.

Hong Er was too unruly, so the Earl of Yongxing and his wife wanted to find a gentle and dignified wife for him.

If you give birth to a child, there will be someone to teach him.

A hundred years after they pass away, if the two brothers live separately, Hong Er will not be left unattended.

Upon hearing this, Qin's face became so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

Lady Yongxing had known her for several years and knew her character well.

If she is not allowed to save face in this matter, it will not be so easy for her to agree.

She smiled flatteringly and said, "In addition, the Bo Mansion will give another 30,000 taels of silver as a dowry for the second young lady. What do you think, Madam Guogong?"

Qin then relaxed a little.

The Duke's lord had to pay 50,000 taels of silver for the marriage of the Duke's legitimate daughter, and 30,000 taels for the marriage of a concubine's daughter.

If Jiang Nian received an additional dowry of 30,000 taels from the Earl's Mansion, her dowry would be more decent than that of a legitimate daughter.

But whether to give the money to Jiang Nian is her business...

Qin thought for a moment and replied expressionlessly, "How about this matter? I still need to wait for the Duke to come back and discuss it with him. I can't give you an answer at this time."

"What the Duke's wife said is right. You two should discuss it carefully. If the Duke's Mansion and the Earl's Mansion can form a marriage relationship, they can help each other in the future, which will be beneficial to both mansions." The Lady of the Earl of Yongxing said flatteringly.

The two chatted about family matters for a while, and then Lady Yongxing said goodbye.

In the Ruixue Courtyard, Yulan hurried into the main house...

With a snap, the scissors in Jiang Nian's hand fell to the ground.

"How is that possible? Did you hear it wrong?" Jiang Nian stood up suddenly and questioned.

Yulan knelt on the ground and replied carefully, "Second Miss, I heard it correctly. The wife of the Yongxing Earl did say the word 'noble concubine'."

"How could this be? He really...really doesn't want to..." Jiang Nian murmured to himself.

Even though she heard Hong Che say with her own ears that day that he didn't want her to be his legal wife, she still held out a glimmer of hope.

Just now she was still happy about being the second young lady of the Yongxing Marquis's Mansion.

After all, she is also a lady from the Duke's Mansion.

I gave him my innocent body, so why would he be dissatisfied?

Does he really want to marry Jiang Luo?

It was because of Jiang Luo again.

"Has mother agreed?" she asked with sidelong glances.

Yulan shook her head and replied, "Madam didn't say whether she agreed or not. She just said she would discuss it with the Duke."

Hearing this, Jiang Nian sat back on the Arhat bed thoughtfully.

Negotiate?

That means it is possible to agree to let her be a concubine.

After a moment, she ordered: "Yulan, keep watching for when father will come back."

She took out the silver ingot from her purse, handed it to Yulan, and said, "Use it to get information."

"Yes, Second Miss." Yulan took the silver and ran out in a hurry.

Jiang Nian stared fiercely at the unfinished red mandarin duck bellyband on the table, grabbed the scissors at hand and cut it into pieces.

All this is because of Jiang Luo.

"Yuejian, take me with you to Fuxiangyuan, where I have been making clothes for your aunt these days." She ordered with a grim face.
