After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Suddenly, a girl's sweet call came from the alley.

Chen Long paused, then turned and walked towards the girl.

Meng Qianqian took a step forward.

"elder brother!"

The girl laughed and shouted again.

Meng Qianqian clenched her fists. If you had another sister...

Chen Long passed by the girl.

A young scholar came to the alley with a box of freshly baked snacks and said to the girl, "Didn't I ask you to wait for me in the shop?"

The girl smiled and said, "I was worried that you would get lost."

The scholar patted her head lovingly: "After waiting in line for half an hour, I finally bought it. Here you go."

"Brother is so kind!"

The girl took the cake with a smile.

The brother and sister left talking and laughing.

Meng Qianqian was in the alley, crying and laughing.

What was she thinking?

Why would her brother accept someone else as his sister just because she died?

The situation where Lin Wan'er pretends to be the daughter of Shen Hou will not happen to Chen Long, as he is a wise and calm person enough.

Meng Qianqian was very happy to confirm that he was alive, but she felt sad when she thought that she might not be able to recognize him in this lifetime.

"If we can't recognize each other, then I will be one of the Twelve Guards recognized by you."

Meng Qianqian wiped away her tears with a smile and decided to practice harder.

When Meng Qianqian returned to Fengshui Hutong, Baoshu was already tired from fighting with her jerk father. She was sitting on the stone table in the yard, drowsy, nodding her little head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"You won't hug her either?"

Meng Qianqian said to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan said he felt wronged: "She wouldn't let me."

Meng Qianqian picked up Baoshu.

Baoshu glanced and saw that it was Meng Qianqian. She obediently lay in her arms and fell asleep.

Lu Yuan glanced at her red eyes, and scanned her from top to bottom. Seeing no injuries, he said expressionlessly, "Did you see it?"

Meng Qianqian nodded, and carried the sleeping Baoshu out of Ji Li's yard: "It's Chen Long."

Lu Yuan asked again: "Did you recognize each other?"

Meng Qianqian's eyelids twitched. When she was wondering when her relationship with Chen Long was exposed, she suddenly realized that she was Xiao Yinhu and belonged to the Twelve Guards like Chen Long. Lu Yuan was asking about the recognition between the Twelve Guards.

I was too nervous.

No matter how much Lu Yuan doubted his origins, he could not have guessed that he was a man who had died once.

Meng Qianqian said: "No."

Lu Yuan asked: "Then why are you crying?"

Meng Qianqian: "Nothing."

"Hmph, I don't like to talk."

Lu Yuan put his hands behind his back and walked forward with big strides.

After entering the Governor's Mansion, Meng Qianqian carried Baoshu to Tinglan Courtyard.

Steward Cen came up to Lu Yuan with a smile and said, "I went to relax with Madam. Madam is the one who has the solution. It's easy to get sick if you stay in the mansion all the time!"

Lu Yuan frowned and asked, "What does it mean for a woman to cry for a man?"

Manager Cen was surprised: "Crying? Who is crying? Madam?"

Lu Yuan said: "Just answer!"

Manager Cen pondered carefully, "When a woman cries for a man, it's either for kinship or for love. The first one is easy to understand, as family members are always very excited when they meet. But if it's for love, it's troublesome - love that cannot be obtained, tossing and turning, 'This love can be recalled, but it was already gone at that time', 'Once you enter the mansion of a marquis, it's as deep as the sea, from now on Xiao Lang is just a passerby'..."

Lu Yuan's eyes were sharp.

Manager Cen cleared his throat and said seriously, "Maybe he cried because of how ugly it was."

Lu Yuan walked away with a cold face.

Manager Cen slapped himself on the face and said, "Why learn something else but Shangguan Ling's chattering?"

Meng Qianqian was thinking about Chen Long and tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to sleep.

Lu Yuan was reading in the study, listening to the noise next door. Manager Cen's words "If you can't get the love you want, you will toss and turn in bed" flashed through his mind, and his face suddenly darkened.

The next day, Liu Changsheng came to the Governor's Mansion and informed Meng Qianqian that there was trouble in her shop on East Street. He reported it to the authorities, but the other party seemed to be quite powerful. Not only did the officials not take the other party away, they surrounded their shop instead.

After Liu Changsheng converted his shop into a teahouse, his business boomed, which indeed made his peers jealous.

But Liu Changsheng always handled the situation very well and all the troublemakers were sent away by him.

If the situation had not been extremely difficult, Liu Changsheng would not have gone to the Governor's Mansion to ask for her instructions.

"Come on, I'll take a look with you."

She wanted to see if someone was just jealous or was taking advantage of the Governor's Office's loss of power to add insult to injury.

When she saw the guests in the room, she realized that she had been wrong.

"Greetings to Princess Wanping."

Meng Qianqian bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Princess Wanping was sitting on an armchair made of yellow pear wood. The chair was not from the shop. One could tell at a glance that it was carried upstairs by her servants themselves.

Meng Qianqian couldn't help but think of Lu Yuan, who always brought his own chair and charcoal fire wherever he went.

Is Princess Wanping imitating her lover's behavior?

Looking at her attire again, she is wearing a pink corseted dress with a white pipa-collared gold-thread gauze dress. She is slender and graceful, with a light bun on her head. She does not use a gold hairpin, but instead decorates herself with white jade pearl flowers and a pearl headband, probably trying to show the gracefulness and agility of a girl.

Her face was painted with exquisite makeup, her eyebrows were as dark as distant mountains, and her lips were as red as vermilion.

To be fair, Princess Wanping is beautiful, and this kind of dressing does not look out of place.

Princess Wanping said slowly, "You are so arrogant to let me wait for you."

Listen, even the words he said are exactly the same as Lu Yuan’s.

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Princess Wanping made such a fuss just to force Xiaojiu to show up. Now that Xiaojiu is here, can the officials outside be withdrawn?"

Princess Wanping curled her fingers and admired her newly painted nails: "That depends on whether you know how to be amused."

Meng Qianqian said, "What do you mean?"

Princess Wanping said disdainfully, "I don't want to beat around the bush with you. Just leave Lu Yuan and ask to be divorced, or ask Lu Yuan to give you a letter of divorce. I will find you another ideal husband and pay for your dowry."

Meng Qianqian's smile faded: "Princess Wanping is ordering me?"

Princess Wanping asked, "So what?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "May I ask Princess Wanping, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at my affairs?"

Princess Wanping thought Meng Qianqian was raising the price: "I will ask my father to give you the title of a princess, and reward you with ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand acres of fertile land. Are you satisfied with this? I advise you to stop being greedy. If you anger me, you won't get a penny!"

Meng Qianqian sneered: "How can the position of a mere princess be enough? My husband is as handsome as Pan An, the most handsome man in the world. At least I have to use your title and all your wealth to exchange for Princess Wanping, right?"

Princess Wanping's expression turned stern: "Meng Qianqian, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit! Do you know the current situation? My father and the prime minister have returned to the court, and they are bound to rectify the government. Lu Yuan will bear the brunt of it. Now only this princess can protect her!"

As she spoke, she seemed to feel that her words were not strong enough, and turned her spearhead towards Meng Qianqian again, "Don't think that this princess doesn't know about your mess. If this princess hadn't been cleaning up the mess for the Governor's Mansion behind the scenes, your relationship with the wife of Marquis Anyuan would have been known to everyone long ago!"

She said that Yu and the servants of Anyuan Marquis's mansion had a scene that day, but no news was spread afterwards. It turned out that Princess Wanping had silenced them.

Meng Qianqian said: "So, Princess Wanping is considering my husband?"

Princess Wanping raised her chin and said, "Of course, in this world, no one cares more about him than me!"

He tried hard to hide it last time in the palace, but now, in front of her alone, he did not hide his feelings for Lu Yuan at all.

Meng Qianqian sighed and said, "Princess Wanping's kindness is appreciated on behalf of my husband, but it is enough for my husband to have me accompany him through his difficulties."

Princess Wanping sneered, "Who do you think you are? What's so great about your achievements at the border? Compared with the Prime Minister and his advisers, you are nothing!"

Meng Qianqian was surprised: "Princess Wanping, I am one of the Twelve Guards. Is there anyone more powerful than the Twelve Guards around the Prime Minister?"

Princess Wanping said proudly: "It's okay to tell you. Chen Long, one of the Twelve Guards, has been adopted by the Prime Minister as his son. You are just a new member of the Twelve Guards. You are not even worthy of carrying his shoes!"

Meng Qianqian frowned.

Chen Long is indeed the Prime Minister’s newly adopted son.

Strange, what on earth is going on? How did Chen Long become the son of the Prime Minister?

It seems that I need to meet Chen Long again and ask him face to face to get things done.

Seeing Meng Qianqian in deep thought, Princess Wanping laughed sarcastically, "Do you know how powerful I am now? If you know what's best for you, leave the Governor's Mansion as soon as possible and get as far away as possible. Never appear in front of Lu Yuan again!"

Meng Qianqian paused, curled her lips and snorted: "The Prime Minister is powerful, not you. Why do you think chicken feathers are a token of authority?"

If it were in the past, Princess Wanping would definitely scold Meng Qianqian for being insolent.

But now, instead of being angry, she started laughing, as if she was waiting for Meng Qianqian to give her the opportunity to show off.

"The Prime Minister gave Chen Longwei to this princess, asking him to serve as her bodyguard."

No wonder she is so confident. She is not only here to snatch Lu Yuan, but also to show off Chen Long to her.

The Prime Minister was really generous. He gave the Twelve Guards, which Concubine Li and the Emperor dreamed of winning over, to Princess Wanping.

No wonder Princess Wanping wanted to show off. Who wouldn’t show off?

Then again, if even the Twelve Guards were willing to give up their power, who wouldn’t praise the Prime Minister for his loyalty?

At this moment, she finally understood Lu Yuan.

Wait, this isn’t bad news.

She was worried that she couldn't find an opportunity to get close to Chen Long, and now she was sleepy so she handed him the pillow.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Princess Wanping, why don't we make a bet. If you win, I'll be yours, and if I win, Chen Long will be mine."

Princess Wanping said disdainfully, "What do I want you to do?"

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "If I become the princess's man, wouldn't it be up to the princess to kill me or chop me up if she wants?"

Princess Wanping thought for a moment and said coldly, "I don't want your life. I want Lu Yuan!"
