Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

Jiang Qingyue left the courtyard, and Lu Huan said:

"Madam, Da Wu and Xiao Wu called and are waiting outside now."

"Ah."

"Madam, isn't it too fast? Should we let them work outside for a while to see if they have good character and can act smartly and properly before transferring them to your side?"

"Don't bother. I know their character and abilities."

In her previous life, she transferred these two brothers to her side later. These two brothers were loyal, smart, capable, and had excellent skills.

Many times, he risked his life to save her from danger.

Later, he would rather have his legs broken by Xue Feimu than frame her.

Lu Huan looked at his wife, thinking that she must have noticed it on a daily basis. His wife was always careful:

"Yes."

The two men came out of the inner courtyard, passed a screen wall, walked through a corridor, and went out of the hanging flower gate, where they saw the carriage and servants waiting outside.

Da Wu and Xiao Wu outside saw the people and hurriedly bowed their heads and knelt down:

"Da Wu meets the madam."

"Xiao Wu meets the Madam."

Jiang Qingyue looked at the two of them.

"Will you follow me?"

Da Wu and Xiao Wu answered in unison: "Madam, I am willing."

Jiang Qingyue nodded: "In that case, you will stay with me from now on."

"Yes."

"I know you are brothers, and both of you have some skills."

When the two heard this, they were horrified. "Madam, please forgive us. We did not conceal it on purpose. It is..."

“You don’t have to explain, I know your situation very well, otherwise I wouldn’t have allowed you to come to Wutong Courtyard.

"Everyone has their own difficulties in life. Since you are able to enter the Marquis' Mansion, you must have a clean background. That's all.

"As for who your master is, it doesn't matter to me. He is him, and you are you. I know the characters of you two brothers, and I trust you.

"As long as you are loyal to me and can do things, I will not treat you unfairly and will protect you as much as possible."

Da Wu and Xiao Wu looked at each other, their eyes reddened, and then they kowtowed to Jiang Qingyue together:

"Madam, we are loyal and will do our best to complete the tasks you have assigned us."

God knows how afraid they were that their wife would get angry, and then they would lose their jobs.

It is a good thing to have skills. If you enter the mansion, you may get a job as a security guard. Being a security guard is much better than being a servant. Not only does it sound good, but the salary is also high.

But they had reasons to hide it, so they could only be the lowest-ranking servants.

Today's mood was full of twists and turns. When they heard that they could work for the Madam, they were very excited. But when the Madam mentioned her skills, they were scared. Later, the Madam said it was okay.

Madam mentioned the master, so he must know about their situation.

Their master was a prisoner, and they were not locals either. They had worked as security guards before, but when their relationship was discovered, they were kicked out.

Later, he went to another place and was almost sent to the authorities again.

After these incidents, no one dared to employ them as guards, let alone servants.

He had no choice but to come to the capital to seek refuge with his maternal grandfather.

Because of the lessons learned from the previous incident, they dared not work as security guards anymore and could only work as servants, just to have a meal to eat.

Outsiders said that the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion was in decline and not a good place to live. But for them, being able to settle down was good enough.

Moreover, everyone knows that the mistress of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is kind and generous to her servants.

It’s not that they haven’t thought about becoming the guards of the Marquis’ Mansion one day, but it’s just a thought.

They never expected that one day, the pie in the sky would fall on their heads.

Jiang Qingyue waved her hand: "Get up."

"Thank you, ma'am." The two stood up.

"Have you done everything that Lu Huan asked you to do?"

"Yes, they are all loaded onto the carriage, not a single piece is missing."

"Yeah." After saying that, Jiang Qingyue asked Lu Huan to check it out.

It wasn't that she didn't believe them, but something had to be done.

Sometimes whether a person makes a mistake or not does not depend on himself, but on the environment.

At least she can't cultivate such an environment.

Now, she has put them in front of her, which is a great favor to them. Nothing more can be done. Too much is as bad as too little.

Lu Huan checked and found no problem, so the two of them got on the carriage and left the house directly.

Jiang Qingyue did not go directly to the Lin Mansion, but went to her own clothing shop first, changed carriages, and then went to the Lin family through the back door.

Lu Huan sat on one side and showed the way, while Jiang Qingyue leaned against the wall of the car and closed her eyes to rest.

If she just moved her dowry over like this, the Lin family would definitely not accept it, so she had to find an excuse.

There was also ginseng that would be needed later, and she took the opportunity to ask the Marquis's Mansion to return the dowry to fill the gap.

In this life, she wants to protect the Lin family and lead them on a path with a bright future.

Lu Huan pointed the way, and seeing that his wife was in a daze, he said:

"Madam, we'll reach the Lin family home in just one more alley."

"Ah."

“We didn’t send any messages…”

"I'm ready." She took out a letter from her sleeve pocket.

"Let Da Wu take it over later, and we can go in through the side door."

Lu Huan took the post: "Yes."

"The Marquis' Mansion has begun preparing for the welcoming banquet today. If someone comes looking for Madam, what should I say when I return?"

Jiang Qingyue raised her eyes slightly and said, "I just said I was going out to buy some snacks for the old lady.

“I don’t think anyone will go.”

"Madam..." Lu Huan's voice was choked with sobs, and he felt really sorry for his own madam.

Jiang Qingyue smiled slightly:

"I'm not mad at you, why should I be mad at you? Those people are not worth our sadness.

"Today, they are the ones crying."

Lu Huan wiped the corners of his eyes, looking puzzled.

Jiang Qingyue raised her hand and lifted a corner of the car curtain. It was drizzling outside and there were few pedestrians.

He said again:

"Now, it's time to leave the court."

At the gate of the marquis's mansion, a servant was sweeping the puddles at the gate in the drizzle.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard. The servant stopped and looked towards the direction of the sound. He saw a horse galloping towards him. He hurriedly jumped to the side and barely avoided it. He was scared out of his wits.

"court death."

Xue Feimu cursed, dismounted from his horse, and his hostility made people afraid to approach him. He didn't even glance at the servant and quickly walked into the mansion.

The servant came to his senses only after the doorman came to help him. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, patted his chest with lingering fear, and hurried to lead the horse and send it to the stable.

At this time, Cisongyuan.

The old lady sat in the first seat, her face full of joy.

Today she wore a scarlet long gown with auspicious cloud patterns, and a crane skirt of the same color, with the edges embroidered with gold thread, which made her look very noble.

Her hair was combed meticulously, and she wore a headband with a ruby ​​in the middle and a pair of earrings of the same color.

Since getting up early this morning, there has been endless sounds of praise in the yard, and the old lady's smile has never fallen.

Today is a really good day.

No, since her grandson came back, everything has been good from now on.

She took a sip of tea slowly and looked outside:

"Is Mu'er back?"

Nanny Li smiled and said, "Looking at the time, it should be soon. Or maybe the palace eunuchs will come first."

"Don't talk nonsense." Although the old lady said this, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"I dare not talk nonsense. The prince has not yet returned from the border but he has already written back, saying that he wants to ask for an imperial decree for you, old lady.

"Early this morning, before the prince went to court, he sent someone to report that he would bring up this matter during court today and that we should be prepared and not be rude. I think it's a done deal. From now on, the old lady will be an imperial decree. There are a few ladies in the capital who have imperial decrees. From now on, when the old lady goes out, she will be a distinguished guest and no one will dare to neglect her."

The old lady laughed so hard that her teeth cracked. "I don't care about imperial edicts or not. As long as the mansion is well, Mu'er is well, and I have many children in the future, I will be worthy of the ancestors of the Xue family. Other things are not important."

"It doesn't matter. In the past few years, the prince has been away, and the Marquis' Mansion has been in charge thanks to the old lady. If it weren't for the old lady, who knows what the Marquis' Mansion would be like.

"The eldest wife can't take care of things. The Crown Prince's wife is young, and although she is in charge of things, everything needs to be checked by the old lady.

"Madam, you have worked hard and made great contributions. It is understandable that you have been rewarded by the emperor and the court. When the time comes, I will also benefit from it. I will be more confident when I go out."

"You, you are always talking nonsense...hahaha..." The old lady pointed at Nanny Li and laughed heartily.

"I am not talking nonsense. I am telling the truth. People outside may not know this, but the people in our mansion must know that the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion is thriving because of me."

Nanny Li told lies with her eyes open, making the old lady smile happily.

"Speaking of which, it's time to finalize Mu'er's position today."

"Yes, the prince said yesterday that the court will issue an official document today."

The old lady thought for a moment and asked as if to confirm, "You said it was the Ministry of War, right?"

"Yes, old lady, the prince is talking about the Ministry of War."

"Ah."

The old lady nodded, thought for a moment and curled her lips: "The Ministry of War is still a little short."

The positions in the Ministry of War are fixed now, and the positions you can get in are not high.

"Mu'er has made great contributions this time, and he has the support of General Dongling. He is also a relative of the Jiang family, and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family is married to the prime minister. Logically, he should be promoted to a higher position."

"Who says it's not true? But the prince said it's good to gain some experience, as it will give me more space in the future."

"Yes, that's right. Mu'er has ambitions, and as a grandmother, I naturally have to hold myself in line."

The old lady sighed, but still convinced herself.

Seeing that she looked a little unhappy, Nanny Li smiled and comforted her:

"The prince has his own plans for the affairs of the court. This imperial edict is a great joyous event for the Marquis's Mansion. The old lady is very blessed."

As soon as these words fell, the old lady immediately smiled:

“It is Mu’er who is filial.

"Ah, actually I don't care about these false reputations. As long as Mu'er is well, that's more important than anything else."

"Yes, yes, that's what elders want. We just hope that the younger generation will be well."

"Haha, you're the only one who can talk."

"I don't know how to talk. I only tell the truth."

"Why are you asking me to wear this outfit? I haven't worn it in a long time. How can it match me?"

"Of course it is. This is tailored according to the old lady's temperament. No matter when she wears it, it will show her unique temperament."

As soon as the news of the imperial edict came out, the old lady asked her to find this set of clothes and take care of the silk. She knew what the old lady meant at a glance.

"This piece of mulberry silk worth a hundred gold coins was given by the old marquis. Today is a happy day, I have to let the old marquis see it."

A burst of joyful laughter rang out in the room.

The maids outside all looked inside at the same time.

The next moment, footsteps were heard outside, and the maids hurriedly saluted:

"Your Majesty."

Xue Feimu walked straight into the house without stopping.

The maids outside couldn't help but shudder as they watched the figure quickly pass by.

The prince looked so scary today, and no one knew what had happened.

When Xue Feimu entered the room, the laughter in the room suddenly stopped.

The old lady's heart skipped a beat when she saw Xue Feimu rushing in angrily. She subconsciously looked behind her, but there was no one behind her. Her heart sank involuntarily.

"Mu'er, what's wrong? What happened?" She leaned forward slightly, supported her arms on the chair, and held the armrest of the chair tightly with one hand.

When Nanny Li saw that something was wrong, she kept silent and quietly retreated behind the old lady.

Xue Feimu's angry look when he first came in was so scary that she didn't even dare to go forward to pour him tea.

At this time, Xue Feimu stood in front of the hall, frowning. He met the old lady's gaze and felt extremely depressed.

He sat down on a chair on the side. The old lady asked again, and he sighed several times, not knowing how to start.

I just felt my mouth dry and my throat smoking.

He shouted outside, "Where's the tea? Is there any tea when the people come? Are they all dead?"

Xue Feimu slammed the table with a loud bang, which made a loud noise. The old lady was also startled and glanced at Nanny Li.

Nanny Li's heart tightened, and she quickly went out the door, took the tea brought by the maid, brought it to Xue Feimu, and poured a cup quickly.

Xue Feimu finished the drink in one gulp and almost cried out in shock from the burn. He wanted to get angry, but when he saw the old lady, he endured it.

Nanny Li's heart was beating in her throat, and she thought that the imperial edict might be a failure.

She poured another cup tremblingly and reminded in a low voice: "Prince, be careful of the heat."

Xue Feimu was about to pick it up, but then he withdrew his hand and waved at her.

Nanny Li put down the teapot as if she had been pardoned, tried to lower her presence, returned to the old lady's side, and dared not move.

The old lady looked outside several times again, but there was no movement outside.

She frowned and looked at Xue Feimu, asking cautiously:

"Mu'er, what happened?"

Xue Feimu frowned, glanced at the old lady, and then looked away.

He looked like he was hesitant to speak.

The old lady paused, looked outside again, and began tentatively:

"But the imperial edict is not going smoothly?"

Xue Feimu frowned even more tightly, his expression was extremely unnatural. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. After a while, he answered incoherently:

"Ah."

When the old lady heard this, her face suddenly looked very unhappy, and she immediately felt that the clothes she was wearing were very uncomfortable.

"If things don't go well, then things won't go well. There will always be opportunities in the future."

Xue Feimu still didn't say anything and lowered his head.

The old lady's heart sank. Will there be no chance in the future?

She took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to be sad. Grandmother doesn't care about these false reputations. As long as you are well and the Marquis' Mansion is well, it is better than anything else."

"grandmother……"

"Well, grandma knows that you are filial. These empty names are not important."

As the old lady said this, her heart ached as if it was about to bleed. She felt unwilling to see the duck that was already in her grasp flow away after being cooked.

But seeing Xue Feimu like this, she didn't dare to ask more, and would find an opportunity to ask for details later.

Ever since she learned that Xue Feimu was going to ask for a decree to confer a title on her, she had secretly spread the news in order to tell those old ladies who had been at odds with her before, in an attempt to show off in front of them.

just now……

Never mind. I’ll ask for the details later.

Seeing Xue Feimu was also sad, she thought for a moment, changed the subject, and asked:

"Your position has been decided, right? When will the official document from the Ministry of Personnel arrive?"
