After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

At the hour of Hai, Meng Qianqian and Tan'er returned to the Governor's Mansion.

Steward Cen, who had been waiting inside the door for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, Madam, you are finally back."

Meng Qianqian asked: "Is it Baoshu who is looking for me?"

Manager Cen said awkwardly, "Miss Baoshu has also been found."

Meng Qianqian instantly understood what this meant: "Where is Madam now?"

Steward Cen replied, "In Tinglan Garden, accompanying Miss Baoshu."

Meng Qianqian looked at Manager Cen: "Old Lady..."

Manager Cen smiled and said, "Young Madam, please rest assured. Although Madam has a hot temper, she will not make things difficult for the old lady."

Meng Qianqian raised her eyebrows: "She never picks on her servants, it's like she only picks on me."

Manager Cen choked.

Meng Qianqian sighed sadly: "Okay, who made me her daughter-in-law?"

Manager Cen smiled awkwardly and looked Meng Qianqian up and down. Seeing that she and Tan'er were in a mess, he couldn't help but ask, "Young Madam, you've been tired all day. Why don't you go back and rest first? I'll take care of Madam's side."

"Wait." Meng Qianqian suddenly remembered something, "Madam once picked three Miao fiancées for your husband. Do you still have their portraits in your house?"

Manager Cen looked at Meng Qianqian in confusion.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just taking a look."

"what……"

Manager Cen didn't understand, but agreed to obey.

There were too many portraits that grandma brought with her, and Miss Baoshu couldn't tear them apart after a while, so she asked him to throw the rest into the warehouse.

Manager Cen went to get the portrait and sent it to Meng Qianqian's room.

When Meng Qianqian saw the second Miaojiang portrait, she suddenly understood: "I was wondering why she looked so familiar. Isn't she the person who appeared with the Miaojiang Young Master? She called the Miaojiang Young Master brother. In this case, she is the Miao King's granddaughter. Although she is adopted, she is not his biological daughter. Isn't her status no different from that of a biological daughter?"

"Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, do you know who you rejected?"

"Cough cough!"

Liu Qingyun's arrogant cough was heard outside the door.

Meng Qianqian hurriedly rolled up the portrait and casually stuffed it into Nanny Li's embroidery basket.

Liu Qingyun raised her chin and walked in arrogantly like a proud peacock.

Meng Qianqian smiled and bowed: "Mother."

Liu Qingyun glanced at her coldly: "You still remember to come back?"

Meng Qianqian explained respectfully, "I went to visit a neighbor's grave today. The grave is quite far away and not in the capital, so I came home a little late. Please forgive me, mother."

Liu Qingyun looked at the mud on her shoes, smelled the scent of incense, candles and paper money on her body, and snorted.

See, that's pretty reasonable.

If it was the old lady of the Lu family, she would definitely scold her for meddling in other people’s business. What does other people’s graves have to do with you?

Meng Qianqian struck while the iron was hot and said, "Mother has been in the capital for a few days, and she hasn't been out for a good walk yet. Tomorrow, your daughter-in-law will accompany you to the streets to buy some new clothes and headgear."

Liu Qingyun said coldly: "Don't think I will forgive you just like this -"

Meng Qianqian looked behind her: "Husband, you're back?"

call out!

Liu Qingyun is missing.

Meng Qianqian turned around and looked at the creaking window frame, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

She is really clever.

"Is it that funny?"

Meng Qianqian shuddered and turned around: "Grand Commander?"

Really replied?

Are you Cao Cao's?

"what is this?"

Lu Yuan caught a glimpse of the portrait stuffed in the embroidery basket.

Meng Qianqian reached out to take the embroidery basket on the table, but Lu Yuan pulled out the portrait before her.

After unfolding them one by one, he said nonchalantly: "Meng Xiaojiu, I didn't expect you to mind so much that I have discussed marriage with other women."

Meng Qianqian said seriously: "Grand Commander, please listen to my explanation."

Lu Yuan looked at her calmly and shook the scroll in his hand: "Explanation is a cover-up."

Meng Qianqian sighed, opened the scroll, and picked out the one of the Miao King's granddaughter: "She came to the capital. I saw her at the post station today! I just want to see if I made a mistake."

Lu Yuan: "You even remember their appearances?"

Meng Qianqian's breath got stuck in her throat.

No need to explain, do whatever you want!

"Serious matter, do you want to listen? If not, I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?"

Yes, where can I go? Liu Qingyun lives in the yard.

Meng Qianqian closed her eyes, resigned herself to her fate and turned back, smiling and saying, "Grand Commander, Xiaojiu has something important to report."

Lu Yuan brushed his wide sleeves and said, "Speak."

Meng Qianqian had nothing to hide from him, and even told him the truth about how she had specifically followed Shangguan Ling.

"Do you know? She is the granddaughter of the Miao King. If you marry her, you will be the Miao King's grandson-in-law. I feel sorry for you."

Lu Yuan glanced at her.

Meng Qianqian spread her hands: "But it's too late to regret now. Let's think about how to destroy the relationship between Prime Minister Xun and the Miao King. We must not let him gain power in Miaojiang."

Lu Yuan retracted his glare.

Meng Qianqian said: "Speaking of which, what is your mother's status in Miaojiang? Why was she able to marry the Miao King's daughter? Your family's status in Miaojiang should not be simple."

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, as if he was somewhat reluctant, but he finally said, "I'm not sure either. I lived with my grandmother when I was a child."

“Is your grandmother the old lady of the Yao family?”

Lu Yuan paused and realized why she asked this. His mother and Concubine Li were half-siblings, and Concubine Li's mother was Old Madam Yao.

He said: "Concubine Li is registered under the name of Old Lady Yao. I have no relationship with the Yao family."

"That……"

Meng Qianqian looked at him eagerly, as if expecting him to continue.

Lu Yuan pursed his lips and said, "My grandmother is from Miaojiang. She lives in an isolated village. The customs there are different from those in the Central Plains. Women can set up their own households, but once they do, they can never leave."

Meng Qianqian asked curiously, "What does it mean to establish a sect?"

Lu Yuan: "Marry a husband and have children."

"Marry a husband?" Meng Qianqian was stunned. "How many can you marry?"

Lu Yuan said coldly: "Meng Xiaojiu!"

Meng Qianqian said seriously: "I'm not envious! Absolutely not!"

Lu Yuan snorted coldly and got back to the point: "When I was a child, I asked my grandmother who my grandfather was. My grandmother said that he was a silkworm breeder. He refused to stay in the village with her, so my grandmother drove him away."

Meng Qianqian seemed to be thinking: "It doesn't sound special. It has nothing to do with the Miao King."

"Is it your father?"

Lu Yuan said calmly, "My father is even less likely to be born. He was a short-lived man. He died before I was born."

"Forget it, I'll go ask your mother myself."

Meng Qianqian went to Liu Qingyun's room.

"Mom, are you asleep?"

She knocked gently on the door.

Liu Qingyun put the fried fruit on the plate on the table, covered it with a handkerchief, wiped the foam from her mouth, and said indifferently, "Come in."

Meng Qianqian pushed the door open and walked in.

The crispy aroma of fried fruits wafts into the air.

She pretended not to smell it: "Mom, I want to ask you something."

Liu Qingyun: "Speak."

Meng Qianqian: "Do you know the Miao King?"

"Recognize..." Liu Qingyun's eyes flashed, and he said seriously, "I don't know him."

Meng Qianqian smiled.

It seems that we know each other.
