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

His words brought back Jiang Luo's memories.

In the previous life, that is, this year’s cold winter, there was heavy snow in Shu for several days, and most of the crops were frozen to death.

The heavy snow caused avalanches in many places.

Many people froze to death, and domestic animals also froze to death.

Countless people left their homes in the cold winter just to survive.

The victims moved northward from Sichuan all the way to the vicinity of the capital.

Countless disaster victims gathered outside the city, waiting for the government to open their granaries and release grain and porridge to save their lives.

The price of grain in Yongjing City soared from two taels per stone to one stone and five taels, more than doubling.

Even at this price, it would not be enough to buy food in the end.

One can imagine the price of grain traded privately.

These are what Rendong heard from the mansion.

She remembered that although life in the Duke's Mansion was not as comfortable as before, it was not to the point where they had to cut back on food and clothing.

Now that I think about it, it must be these two grain shops that played a role.

Otherwise, she really couldn't think of where Qin could get food.

With Qin's greedy nature, she might take advantage of the Wu family to make a fortune on grain.

She collected her thoughts and didn't want to say anything more to the senior manager.

After thinking for a while, he replied, "You will know in the future. You and Manager Chu should first find out the situation of these shops, then calculate the profits of all the shops and report to me."

Although the senior manager was puzzled, he also felt that Jiang Luo was not just speaking casually, and that she must have her reasons for doing so.

He didn't ask any more questions and quickly replied, "Yes, Miss."

Jiang Luo spoke a few more words to the senior manager, then took Mingxu and Wangyou out of the shop.

As the master and his two servants walked to the side of the street and stood still, they heard someone calling her not far away.

"Sister Luo, Sister Luo, I'm here!" Xie Qing was like a happy little bird, waving her little wings and running towards Jiang Luo.

The maid Huayi behind her was panting from exhaustion as she was carrying things in both hands.

"Sister Luo, I sent you a note yesterday saying that I would go to the Duke's Mansion to visit you today. Have you come?" Xie Qing asked, blinking her almond-shaped eyes.

Jiang Luo slapped his forehead, she actually forgot about it.

From yesterday until now, she has been so busy that she doesn't even remember these little things.

"I'm really sorry, Sister Qing'er. I just took over these shops and I've been very busy these days..." Jiang Luo hurriedly explained, but saw the little girl hanging her head like a wilted flower, so her explanation lacked confidence.

She hurried forward and took Xie Qing's hand, smiling and coaxing, "It's all my fault, so punish me... punish me by taking you to a hot spring resort on the outskirts of the city in a few days, okay?"

"Sister Luo, are you telling the truth?" The little girl became happy again.

Jiang Luo shook her hand and said, "Of course it's real, more real than pearls!"

"Yes, then I'll wait for Sister Luo to send me a message in a few days." Xie Qing said with a smile in her eyes.

Jiang Luo also smiled and nodded, saying, "Let's go. I just happened to be going back home too. You can come with me."

"it is good."

Several maids were also smiling happily behind the two of them.

Jiang Luo took her hand and got on the carriage of the Duke's Mansion.

After an incense stick of time, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Duke's Mansion.

The two of them got off the carriage hand in hand and walked towards the mansion.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw Duke Jiang Zhou walking out of the gatehouse with a sullen face.

"You wicked girl, you still have the nerve to come back, huh? Do you know how much trouble you have caused? Can't you just shut up? Do you want to kill me and ruin the entire Duke's Mansion?" Jiang Zhou started scolding her.

Xie Qing had never been treated like this in front of her father. Seeing Jiang Zhou like this, her eyes widened like bells.

I don't know whether I was scared or shocked.

"What are you saying, father? Your daughter doesn't understand and doesn't comprehend!" Jiang Luo glanced at the angry Jiang Zhou and replied indifferently.

"You don't understand?" Jiang Zhou put his hands on his waist and paced back and forth.

He glared at Jiang Luo and said, "Let me ask you, when did you offend the Princess Jiayang that caused her to attack you?"

Jiang Luo finally understood.

It turned out to be about what happened yesterday.

"I didn't offend Princess Jiayang. As for why she attacked me, how would I know? Father, instead of asking me here, you might as well go ask Princess Jiayang." Jiang Luo said with a sarcastic smile.

"You... because of this matter, the censor impeached Lord Ling in the court today, and the emperor also punished the Princess Jiayang. Now you must come with me to the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion to apologize, hurry up!" Jiang Zhou waved his hands and walked towards the mansion gate anxiously.

Jiang Luo chuckled.

Look, this is her good father.

Her own daughter was about to be killed by someone else, but he turned around and scolded her without any reason and asked her to apologize to the culprit.

This is truly a great father!

I also thought of what Jiang Zhou said, "Lord Ling was impeached by the censor"...

It seems that Lord Lu has helped her again.

"Duke, as Sister Luo's father, shouldn't you seek justice for her? Why do you keep scolding her and ask her to apologize?" Xie Qing said angrily.

She continued, "Since the emperor has punished Princess Jiayang, it must be because Princess Jiayang is at fault. Why do you say it as if Sister Luo harmed her? What's the logic?"

Jiang Zhou then noticed Xie Qing standing beside him.

He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Xie Qing then bowed to him and said, "My daughter Xie Qing greets the Duke. My father is Xie Yuanfeng, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College."

Jiang Zhou then suddenly realized that it was Mr. Xie's daughter.

He raised his hand and said, "No need..."

Before she could finish her words, Xie Qing stood up.

He put down his hand somewhat awkwardly, and did not answer Xie Qing's words. He only said, "Evil girl, why don't you follow me to the Marquis' Mansion to apologize!"

"Father, do you really want me to go to the Marquis' Mansion to apologize?" Jiang Luo asked, glancing at him.

Jiang Zhou flicked his sleeves and said, "Of course!"

"Okay, I'll go." Jiang Luo answered readily.

Xie Qing grabbed her arm and said, "Sister Luo, don't go. It's not your fault. Even if she is a county lord, so what? A prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner, not to mention a county lord."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Luo patted her arm, signaling that she was fine.

"The emperor punished Lady Jiayang for this matter, but you, father, want me to go to the marquis's mansion to apologize. Do you think the emperor's decision is wrong? Or do you think you are wiser than the emperor?" Jiang Luo asked coldly.

Jiang Zhou broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

Ever since he left the court, he has been worried that Lord Ling would use this matter against him.

He always wanted to take Jiang Luo to the Marquis' Mansion to apologize as soon as possible. As long as Lord Ling and Princess Jiayang calmed down, he would feel at ease.

I didn't expect this.

just in case……

If the emperor gets the news, he will be the one who deserves death.

He looked around carefully, and when he saw that there was no one around, he hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

so close!
