After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

"Grand Commander, please listen to my explanation!"

Meng Qianqian swore, "Among the portraits that Manager Cen gave me, there is no portrait of me..."

Lu Yuan: "So you just put yours in?"

Meng Qianqian was speechless.

That's not right. There are no words on my portrait, so we are obviously not together. Commander-in-Chief, open your eyes, this is the flaw!

Lu Yuan said nonchalantly: "Meng Xiaojiu, I didn't expect you to have such feelings for me."

Meng Qianqian: “…”

Meng Qianqian held up two fingers: "Xiao Jiu swears that Xiao Jiu will never dare to have any improper thoughts about the Grand Commander!"

Lu Yuan picked up the teacup on the table, and a cold and dangerous aura instantly filled the entire room: "So, what you just said was a joke on me?"

What you said just now?

"Are you sure that the people in the portraits are willing to marry me?"

"The Grand Admiral is a rare talent. It is a great honor to marry him."

"This too?"

"Of course, who wouldn't want to marry the Grand Commander?"

The thought of how she had flattered someone flashed through her mind, and Meng Qianqian's expression froze.

"What will happen if I play tricks on... the Grand Commander?"

"die."

Meng Qianqian's body trembled.

Lu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup: "The last person who dared to play tricks on me, the grass on his grave is as tall as you."

Meng Qianqian blinked: "What kind of grass can grow so fast?"

Lu Yuan: “…”

This pot is too big for Meng Qianqian to carry.

She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Xiao Jiu would never dare to play tricks on the Grand Admiral. Xiao Jiu knows that she is of humble status. It is an honor to be favored by the Grand Admiral and to serve him. She dare not ask for more. Xiao Jiu only has respect for the Grand Admiral. In Xiao Jiu's heart, the Grand Admiral is like a brother and a father. He is the person Xiao Jiu will be loyal to for the rest of her life."

She spoke with true feelings and every word was precious.

Lu Yuan came up to her coldly, picked up the portrait in her hand, and asked indifferently: "Then tell me, what's the matter with your portrait?"

Meng Qianqian felt a headache and looked towards the door inconspicuously.

Manager Cen half leaned out from behind the wall and begged her with his hands clasped.

Meng Qianqian closed her eyes, took a deep breath, stepped back, bowed and said, "Xiaojiu was bewildered for a moment and forgot his limits. Please forgive me, Grand Commander!"

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, holding the portrait and sitting back in his chair.

Meng Qianqian walked forward cautiously and stretched out her hand to take back her portrait.

Lu Yuan casually placed the portrait on the table and said calmly, "Take it away."

A maid came forward and took away Meng Qianqian's portrait along with the portraits of the other nine daughters.

Meng Qianqian's eyes were fixed on the maid.

"Still not leaving?"

Lu Yuan said coldly.

Meng Qianqian bowed: "Xiaojiu will take his leave."

After leaving the yard, she did not walk far, but stood under a big tree waiting for Manager Cen.

Sure enough, Manager Cen came jogging after them.

"Miss Meng."

Manager Cen bowed first.

Meng Qianqian asked: "Manager Cen, why did you put my portrait in there?"

Manager Cen laughed and said, "Careless, careless!"

Meng Qianqian said seriously: "Manager Cen, do I look easy to deceive?"

Manager Cen scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Meng Qianqian said seriously: "Manager Cen, don't make such jokes again in the future. If the Grand Commander finds out, the consequences will be serious."

"I am not joking with Miss Meng." Steward Cen stopped smiling and sighed helplessly, "I have no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure. To be honest with Miss Meng, I have followed the Grand Commander for many years and I know his personality very well. None of those rich ladies are worthy of his attention."

"Miss Meng is different. She has a life-and-death bond with the Grand Commander, and is also loved by Miss Baoshu. I originally thought..."

Having said that, he waved his hand and sighed again.

From Meng Qianqian's point of view, Manager Cen was wrong, but Manager Cen was good to Meng Qianqian. During the two months that she was away from the capital, Manager Cen came to help her many times, and Meng Qianqian had to accept this favor.

Meng Qianqian asked: "Why didn't the Grand Commander accept the marriage that Madam arranged for him?"

Steward Cen said, "The Grand Commander hates being manipulated the most. Accepting the marriage arranged by Madam is equivalent to bowing to Madam for the rest of his life."

Meng Qianqian asked in confusion: "Why does Madam have to control her son?"

Manager Cen said earnestly, "A mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away. Madam is also considering the Grand Commander, but the Grand Commander would rather get hurt than live under her wings. To put it bluntly, the Grand Commander does not want to be controlled by Madam."

Meng Qianqian fell silent after hearing this.

Everyone thinks that Lu Yuan is omnipotent, but behind his omnipotence is a hard price that ordinary people cannot imagine.

In order to escape from the control of his family, he had to refuse every offer of help from the family.

He walked alone and hard on this road full of thorns and blood.

"Miss Meng, have you been to the fourth floor of the library?"

Manager Cen suddenly changed the subject.

Meng Qianqian smiled calmly: "Yes, last time I saw the door to the fourth floor was open, I went up to take a look."

Manager Cen asked again: "Have you seen the Chu family's files?"

Alarm bells rang in Meng Qianqian's heart. Was it Manager Cen who opened the door intentionally for her? !

Steward Cen smiled and said, "Miss Meng, don't be nervous. I have no ill will towards you, and the fourth floor is not a place that you cannot go to. I have given the key to the fourth floor to Ah Fu. If you want to go there in the future, just ask Ah Fu for the key."

Meng Qianqian asked calmly: "Why are you helping me?"

Manager Cen smiled and said, "I am the servant of the Grand Commander. I will be kind to whoever is kind to the Grand Commander. Miss Meng, you want to investigate the truth of the Chu family, but you should have seen that the truth is not something you can bear now. You are not even qualified to get close to its full picture. But if, I mean if, you become the wife of the Governor's Mansion, those untouchable truths will be easily opened by you like the scrolls today."

……

After Meng Qianqian left, Manager Cen breathed a sigh of relief and planned to return to the yard.

As soon as he turned around, his expression changed and he saluted: "Grand Commander!"

Lu Yuan looked at the full moon on the treetops and said coldly, "Don't do unnecessary things."

Manager Cen calmed down and said, "Yes."

In the next few days, Meng Qianqian didn't see Lu Yuan again.

She practiced martial arts in the morning, tidied the study in the afternoon, and accompanied Baoshu in her toddler years at night.

In March, the capital city is full of green grass and singing birds.

Baoshu can already walk a few steps by herself, but she walks slowly. If she is in a hurry, she still has to crawl.

Her babbling also showed some results. The first word she called was not "Dad" but "Nine", the "Nine" in Meng Xiaojiu's name.

"Nine, nine!"

She held the small milk jug in one hand and pointed outward with the other.

Qingshuang knew that she was going to find Meng Qianqian.

One day, Meng Qianqian had just come back from tidying up the study. As soon as she entered the alley, she saw Nanny Wan wandering around her door.

"Madame Wan."

Meng Qianqian called her.

Nanny Wan came over quickly, pointed to the courtyard, and whispered, "Someone from the Meng family is here!"
