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

Mother Wu hurried to the inner room.

In a moment, a thin blanket with the scent of agarwood was covered on Jiang Luo's legs.

Jiang Luo said with a smile: "Mom Wu, I'm not cold." Then he reached out to lift the blanket.

But Mother Wu looked at Jiang Luo with an expression that said, "No, you're cold!"

She had no choice but to cover the corner of the blanket back.

Mother Wu then went about her business.

After a stick of incense, Wangyou breathed a sigh of relief. She held up the item in her hand and said, "Miss, there is something wrong with this. There are some different things added to it."

Mingxu and Rendong were furious when they heard this.

"I knew that the second young lady had bad intentions. How hateful! Humph!" Honeysuckle said angrily.

Wangyou looked at Jiang Luo who was calm and composed in front of him, and thought to himself: Everyone in this Duke's Mansion is really extraordinary. It is not easy for the eldest lady to survive.

Mingxu also clenched his hands tightly, wishing he could throw these things in front of him away.

But she knew that if she really threw it away, it would be too cheap for the Second Miss.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Miss, what should we do next?"

Jiang Luo also found it strange.

Jiang Nian should be in high spirits because of the good news. Why is she still focusing on herself at this time?

unless……

Unless Jiang Nian’s happy event made her feel very unhappy.

Moreover, this unhappiness has something to do with me?

She looked at Ren Dong and asked, "Ren Dong, what gossip did you hear in the mansion today?"

Honeysuckle scratched his head: "Gossip?"

"When I passed by Chunhua Courtyard at noon, I heard the maids at the door talking about how the wife of the Yongxing Earl came to discuss making the second young lady a concubine. She also said that like mother, like daughter, and a concubine is also a concubine, but the second young lady was so eager to be someone's concubine..."

"My dear concubine?" Jiang Luo asked back.

Honeysuckle nodded.

Jiang Luo chuckled.

She thought that since Hong Er was such a playboy, it wouldn't be unfair to them both if Jiang Nian became his principal wife.

Unexpectedly, the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion has such great ambitions.

As for Jiang Nian, he really ended up losing more than he gained.

Who can blame it?

After thinking about it, I understood why she focused her energy on herself.

Jiang Nian must be blaming her!

Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes slightly and called out coldly: "Nanxing."

Have you forgotten the lessons from the past few days so quickly?

In that case, don't blame her for being ruthless.

"I'm here." Nanxing replied as she floated down from the eaves.

"I have something for you to do... Honeysuckle, go and guard outside the door," she ordered.

"Yes, miss." Honeysuckle turned and went outside, closed the door, moved a small stool, sat on the porch and looked around.

The lady said that such an important task as guarding the door must be done by the person the lady trusts the most.

As for what the young lady asked Nanxing and the others to do, she would not hide it from her.

During this time, Wangyou returned to her room and hurried into the main house.

After a stick of incense, Nanxing came out of the main house and disappeared into the darkness again.

In Chunhua Courtyard, Qin had been waiting for Duke Jiang Zhou to come back since dinner so that she could discuss Jiang Nian's marriage with him.

But no matter how long I waited, no one came back.

She sent Manager Zhou to look for it, but he couldn't find it.

If she wasn't afraid of starving Jiang Huai and Jiang Yin, she would probably have eaten cold rice.

Even after the mother and her two children had dinner, there was still no sign of Jiang Zhou.

Finally, Jiang Yin became impatient and said goodbye and returned to Jinxiu Courtyard.

Jiang Huai couldn't wait any longer and went back to his room to sleep.

Only Qin was left standing under the candlelight, staring at the light and shadow in a daze.

It seemed that Jiang Zhou had not stayed overnight in Chunhuayuan for a long time.

Ever since Jiang Luo came back, a series of events have made her restless.

So much so that, only today, she suddenly realized that Jiang Zhou hadn't touched her for a long time.

Either he is in the study, or he is busy with his colleagues. It is also possible that he is nowhere to be found like today.

She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Early the next morning, Zhou brought Qin Ying'er to the Duke's Mansion.

Today's breakfast at Chunhuayuan is particularly sumptuous.

Because the Duchess's sister-in-law and cousin were also there.

Qin Ying'er looked at the table full of breakfast, which was not only delicious but also had a particular emphasis on the combination of meat and vegetables.

He thought to himself: The Duke's Mansion is really special. There are so many varieties of breakfast. It is incomparable to the Qin Family. No wonder everyone wants to marry into the Duke's Mansion.

She collected her thoughts and asked with a smile, "Aunt, why didn't sister Yin'er come?"

Hearing this, Qin also laughed twice and said, "She stayed here for a long time last night. She must have slept in. Don't worry about her. Let's eat first."

After saying that, he picked up a crystal steamed dumpling and put it in Qin Ying'er's bowl, saying, "Ying'er, eat quickly." After saying that, he picked up one for Jiang Huai who was standing next to him.

Qin Ying'er hurriedly said, "Thank you, aunt."

She glanced at her mother who was a little distracted, and quietly kicked under the table.

Zhou finally reacted, with a forced smile on her face, and said, "Eat, eat, all..."

After the meal, Zhou was a little absent-minded.

Qin also saw it.

Of course she knew why Zhou came today.

The managers of the shops that were taken back by Jiang Luo were also replaced.

The manager of one of the grain shops was Zhou's brother from her mother's family.

The Zhou family was originally a small family, and Zhou's elder brother Zhou Youwei was a frequent visitor to the gambling house.

Old Madam Zhou doted on her son very much and always thought that he would be successful sooner or later, so she indulged him all the time.

The Zhou family relies entirely on Zhou's subsidies on a daily basis, otherwise they would have broken up long ago.

Later, Qin didn't want her brother to worry about these tedious matters, so she asked Zhou Youwei to be the manager of one of the grain shops.

Although Zhou Youwei likes to gamble, he is indeed good at accounting.

The grain shop was managed by someone sent by the Qin family. He not only had to do the accounting, but also could get the manager's salary. It was so cool.

But yesterday, Zhou's sister-in-law went to the Qin family and cried, "Sister, what do you think the Duke's wife means? Your brother was doing a good job as a steward, why was he suddenly sent back home..."

Zhou hurriedly comforted and coaxed her, and coaxed her back to the Zhou family, and promised her that she would find out what happened as soon as possible.

The Zhou family finally calmed down.

Mei Qing and the maids cleaned up the table and then filed out.

Jiang Huai went to the study in the west wing to review his lessons.

There were only three of them left in the room.

Qin Ying'er knew that her mother and aunt had something to say, so she made an excuse to go find Jiang Yin and left.

"Xiu Yue, what's going on? Isn't the shop in your hands? Why did the manager suddenly change? You know my brother..."

Qin's head started buzzing as she listened to her series of questions.

She interrupted Zhou: "Sister-in-law, listen to me first."

Qin then explained the cause and effect of the matter one by one.

"Pa~" Zhou slapped the tea table and said angrily: "You are just a jinx who lost your mother, and you still want to take the things back. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would happen to her mother's shop."

She seemed to have forgotten that the Wu family was a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River.

Qin felt much better after hearing this.

She loved to hear that.

"Even if I want to go back, what does it matter? I was able to drive away the manager of the Wu family back then, so those who came later are not worth mentioning." Qin said with a sneer.

Zhou nodded and wanted to say something, but she heard a noisy sound coming from outside the door...
