After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

The two walked out of the yard holding hands.

When Meng Qianqian turned around, the old lady was looking at her. When she turned around again, the old lady was still staring at her with her fiery eyes.

She glanced at Lu Yuan beside her again. Lu Yuan had a cold and expressionless look on his face.

Having been with Lu Yuan for such a long time, although I can't say that I completely see through him, I also understand that he is not a petty person. But the old lady is a member of the Lu family after all, a normal person would mind it to some extent, right?

She said softly, "Grand Commander, the old lady has taken good care of me over the past few years. She is old now and her mind is not clear. If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me."

Lu Yuan snorted coldly.

Meng Qianqian continued, "I'll go back and try to persuade her, but the old lady can't stand being provoked, otherwise she'll get sick easily. What if... I mean what if, can the old lady stay in the governor's mansion for a few days?"

Lu Yuan said coldly: "Why? You still want me to be your Meng family's son-in-law?"

Meng Qianqian knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't dare to refute him. She just gently pinched his palm with her fingertips and said, "Old Lady has remembered things wrongly in the past, but she would forget about it after three to five days, or at most seven to eight days. Grand Commander, you are a magnanimous person, so please be patient for a few more days, okay?"

Her fingertips are soft and her voice is gentle, like a piece of catkins blown down by the spring breeze, gently falling into people's hearts.

Lu Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and the sunlight shone into his ink-black eyes, reflecting thousands of colors of glass.

He said coldly: "Just a few days, don't push your luck."

Meng Qianqian nodded seriously: "Yes!"

Meng Qianqian had a careful and detailed plan for this fake marriage - after the wedding, she and Baoshu would live in the main courtyard, while Lu Yuan would move to Baoshu's Tinglan Garden.

When they were at the Lu family, she and Lu Lingxiao also had their own courtyards, so this arrangement would not arouse suspicion from others.

But now that the old lady has moved into Tinglan Garden, Lu Yuan will certainly not be able to live there. Not only that, the old lady also had all of Lu Yuan's clothes packed up and sent to her yard.

The question is, of course the great-grandson-in-law should live with the great-granddaughter.

Therefore, when Lu Yuan returned to Tinglan Garden after finishing his official business, he was shocked to find that the whole house had been emptied.

He went to the bridal chamber, looked at the boxes of varying sizes on the floor, then looked at the innocent-looking Meng Qianqian, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Meng Qianqian was speechless and said without any confidence: "I said it was the old lady who asked someone to move it, do you believe it?"

……

On the other side, Nanny Li went to the accounting office to hand over the work to Manager Cen.

She thought about it all the way, wondering what the Grand Commander asked her to hand over to Steward Cen? The dowry list?

The young lady carried 160 loads of dowry into the mansion. When she first married into the Lu family, she carried 120 loads, which she also handed over to the Lu family. The Lu family's steward compared the list and counted it, then copied the list in two copies, one of which was kept in the accounting office and the other was given to the old lady.

But that was three days after the wedding. Who would ask for dowry right after entering the house?

When Nanny Li entered the accounting office, she realized that it was not the dowry list in her hand that was being handed over to her, but Steward Cen who was handing over the management power of the Governor's Mansion to her.

"Here are the keys to the various rooms in the mansion, the accounting office, and all the storerooms. Madam Li, please check them."

Steward Cen pointed to the table in front of him which was filled with keys and playing cards, and said to Matron Li with a smile.

Nanny Li was extremely shocked. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She refused again and again: "Manager Cen, no! No! I just got here. It's ok for me to take care of the affairs in the courtyard, but the mansion still relies on you!"

Steward Cen smiled and said, "Madame Li, you are too modest. I believe in your ability to manage things. From now on, I will have to trouble you with all the affairs of the Governor's Office."

"Manager Cen! You can't do that!"

When Nanny Li saw that Manager Cen didn't seem to be testing her and was sincere in handing over the power of managing the household to her, she was really panicked!

Steward Cen said amiably, "Madame Li, as servants, we have to share the worries of our masters. The more we do, the less our masters will worry."

Nanny Li said, "It is my duty to share my master's worries. Steward Cen doesn't need to remind me. I will do my best."

Steward Cen smiled and said, "In that case, Madam Li will accept the cards and the key."

"I……"

Nanny Li was stunned by the huge pancake that fell from the sky.

You have to know that when she was in the Lu family, except for Manager Liu who was by Lu's mother's side, the other managers were extremely wary of her. It was impossible to let her have power, let alone let them share a little bit.

Nanny Li was ashamed of her own misconceptions on the way here, and said with some embarrassment, "To be honest, I have never been in charge of the Lu family's affairs, only the young lady's yard. I was afraid that if I did not do a good job, I would lose the young lady's face and cause trouble for the son-in-law."

Manager Cen called out to the outside: "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, ten well-dressed servants entered the accounting office.

They were the accountant and the major stewards of the mansion. Steward Cen introduced them to Madam Li one by one: "Madam Li, if there is anything you don't understand, just tell them and they will take care of it."

The Governor's Office is large and powerful, and each manager has his own duties and strengths. All matters are handled in an orderly manner, without being chaotic.

Nanny Li was full of admiration for Steward Cen.

Steward Cen smiled and said, "As I said before, if we take good care of the house, the masters can focus on handling important matters outside."

He was talking about the masters, not the master, and implicitly included Meng Qianqian in his words.

Nanny Li couldn't help but think of what Lu Yuan said to Meng Qianqian yesterday when he took her out to eat, "The Governor's Mansion doesn't have those messy rules."

In fact, he also said later, "My Lu Yuan's woman does not have to be confined to the backyard."

Nanny Li didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that he was just saying it casually.

This new son-in-law is indeed quite different from Lu Lingxiao.

……

In the evening, the stewards of the Wang, Zhou, Xing and Lin families came to give Meng Qianqian more dowry. Each family brought twenty loads of dowry, all of which were carefully selected by the ladies.

Zhou Nanyan and Lin Xiaoru also sent wedding gifts. Zhou Nanyan sent a box of jewelry and Lin Xiaoru sent a box of books.

It was not known whether it was a coincidence or intentional, but the teams of the four families all passed by the gate of the Lu family, beating gongs and drums. After the Wang family beat the drums, the Zhou family beat the drums, and after the Zhou family beat the drums, the Xing family beat the drums, and then the Lin family beat the drums, which made some people in the Lu family very angry.

Meng Qianqian had just finished putting away her make-up when news came from the other side of the city gate - the seventh prince of Beiliang had entered the capital.

This means that Zhang Feihu and his soldiers really have to return to the border.

"How many days are left?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

Lu Yuan said: "Tonight."

Meng Qianqian murmured: "So fast?"

Lu Yuan said, "The Seventh Prince of Beiliang is the most beloved son of the King of Beiliang. He came to the capital as a hostage this time, and the King of Beiliang asked for an army of 20,000 to escort him. Now the army of 20,000 is stationed 50 miles outside the city. Zhang Feihu and the soldiers at the border must move out overnight and rush to fight against the army of Beiliang."

In fact, there will be no more wars, but such arrangements are reasonable and should be taken as a precaution.

Meng Qianqian felt a deep reluctance in her heart. Although they had not known each other for long, they were comrades who had fought in the battlefield together and were friends for life and death who had shared hardships.

Meng Qianqian stood up quickly.

Lu Yuan walked out before her.

Meng Qianqian stared at his back, fixed her eyes on him, and said seriously: "Grand Commander..."

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Follow."

Meng Qianqian was stunned: "Huh?"

Lu Yuan said coldly: "If we set out now and take a shortcut through the North Gate, we may be able to catch up with him. If we are late, we will never see him again."
