After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

For the first time, Meng Qianqian experienced the inconvenience brought about by being in an unfamiliar place.

No matter how short of money the Lu family is, they are still nobles in the capital. Putting aside the old man's service to the emperor, Lu Xingzhou works in the Ministry of Revenue, and Lu Lingxiao has just made military achievements. It is too difficult for a small merchant girl with no relatives in the capital to get away with the Lu family unscathed.

"Xiaojiu, stay alive..."

"father--"

In the middle of the night, Meng Qianqian was awakened by a nightmare again. Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her temples, soaking her black hair.

"Tsk, there are many women who want to climb into my bed, but you are the first one who is eager to recognize me as his father."

Lu Yuan's casual voice slowly came into the ears, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

Meng Qianqian quickly loosened his purple sleeves, sat up calmly, glanced at him, and said, "Does the Grand Commander always like to break into women's inner rooms so much?"

"I can go wherever I want!"

The Grand Commander has none of virtue, shame, or ethical principles!

Lu Yuan leaned lazily on the back of a chair covered with tiger skin, his long legs crossed and resting on an exquisite footstool.

There is no such luxurious rosewood furniture in Haitangyuan.

Meng Qianqian glanced at the charcoal basin beside her again, and the silver charcoal inside had turned into red charcoal that only the masters of the palace could afford.

He would enjoy it.

Lu Yuan turned a page of the book in his hand and said with a look of disdain: "You women only read these boring things?"

She herself didn't like reading storybooks, but she read them in order to tell them to the old lady.

Meng Qianqian said: "I am a girl with no ambitions, I am sorry to make you laugh at me, Grand Commander."

Lu Yuan turned another page: "Who is Xiaojiu?"

Meng Qianqian said: "I am a girl at home."

"Whoa!"

A fierce little baby voice came from the basket.

Only then did Meng Qianqian notice the hungry little creature.

This can't be blamed on her; it's just that the presence of a certain great commander is too strong.

Meng Qianqian took the little guy out of the basket.

The little guy's body tensed up, and Meng Qianqian saw that the situation was not good, so she quickly lifted the little guy out.

"Ah!"

The little guy sneezed violently!

Lu Yuan calmly took away the script that was covering his face in time, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

Meng Qianqian blinked innocently.

The little guy had bubbles of snot hanging from his nose and looked confused.

Meng Qianqian hurriedly fed the little guy and wiped his nose clean.

The little guy's appetite was not affected. He drank the milk with relish. Soon he was sweating and his face became much rosier.

Meng Qianqian suddenly asked, "I don't know how to address your daughter."

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Baozhu."

The little guy seemed to understand Lu Yuan's ridicule and shouted fiercely: "Woooooo!"

A certain general snorted, "You caught the pig yourself."

Other people grab abacus, gold, silver and pen holders during the "Zhuazhou" celebration, but she crawled to the kitchen and grabbed a roasted suckling pig.

Meng Qianqian thought for a moment and said seriously, "Do you want to eat meat? You are too young to eat meat."

The little guy opened his mouth and showed off his little teeth to Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian said: "You can't eat it even if you have teeth."

The little guy felt wronged: "Woo waaa."

Just when Meng Qianqian thought that Lu Yuan was too lazy to tell her the little guy's real name, Lu Yuan turned a page of the storybook and said lightly: "Bao Shu, nickname Zhao Zhao."

After Baoshu had eaten and drunk her fill, she played with her little feet for a while and then fell asleep.

Meng Qianqian glanced at Lu Yuan calmly.

There were only a few pages left in Lu Yuan's book. He looked at it and said calmly, "You've been peeking at me all night. If you have anything to say, just say it."

This person is so perceptive, whether he discovered me in the alley or saw through me at this moment.

But I don't have a better choice, so I'll just give it a try.

Meng Qianqian said calmly, "I want to make a deal with the Grand Commander."

Lu Yuan flipped a page of the storybook and said indifferently, "Don't think that just because you fed my daughter a few times, you are qualified to do business with me."

Meng Qianqian went straight to the point: "Beiliang's spies have entered the capital."

"I know."

"But the Royal Guards didn't find out their whereabouts, and they certainly couldn't find out."

"Oh?"

Lu Yuan finally became interested. He closed the storybook and looked at her with a pair of bewitching eyes.

There was a smile in his eyes, but also endless murderous intent.

Meng Qianqian met his gaze: "Beiliang's spies are hiding in Wanhua Tower."

Lu Yuan curled his lips: "Lu Lingxiao told you?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly, "He heard it accidentally. He is not sure and does not dare to check. But I think the Grand Commander should dare to do it. After all, there is no place in the world that the Grand Commander's Jinyiwei dare not go."

"Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?"

"The little girl doesn't dare."

"I haven't even agreed to make a deal with you yet, but you've already told me. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? Are you going to turn your back on me?"

"The Grand Admiral may not be a good person, but he is definitely not a villain."

Lu Yuan smiled meaningfully: "What do you want?"

In the next few days, there were several heavy snowfalls in the capital. Meng Qianqian stayed in Haitangyuan to check the accounts on the pretext of recuperating from illness.

She no longer indulged those people in the mansion. Not only did she stop producing bird's nests for the old lady, but she also reduced several extravagant expenses.

The old lady was so angry that she called Meng Qianqian over to give her a lecture, but Meng Qianqian refused to go.

The advantage of heavy snow was that the old lady did not dare to risk falling and come to Haitangyuan to scold her in person.

The old lady wanted to ask Lu Lingxiao to discipline his wife, but Lu Lingxiao was not there.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard discovered Beiliang's spies in Wanhua Tower in the capital. Three of them were captured on the spot, while the other two escaped.

Lu Lingxiao had been lurking in Beiliang and was familiar with the disguises of the Beiliang people. He was busy catching spies for the court and had not returned home for several days.

The old lady was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger, and several blisters appeared on her mouth.

After waiting for a long time for the snow to stop, someone from the old lady's family came.

"Miss, please come over to the old lady."

Banxia walked into the room and said.

Meng Qianqian had just finished reading the last book of bad accounts and circled the mistakes with a cinnabar pen.

"Miss, are you going?" Madam Li asked worriedly, "I heard that the Zhao family is here. They are probably here to ask for money again."

The old lady ate and took money from her mother's family, and her eating habits were so ugly that even Nanny Li couldn't stand it.

Meng Qianqian closed the account book and said, "You're here at the right time. It's time to settle some accounts."

After eating her for so many years, it's time to make them spit it all out!

The visitors from the Zhao family this time were the old lady's younger brother, sister-in-law, and nephew.

As soon as Meng Qianqian arrived at the door, she heard Madam Zhao crying and begging: "Big sister...you must help Heng'er...he is your nephew...please save him..."

The Second Madam curled her lips and said, "He could have offended anyone else, but he offended the commander of the Imperial Guard. What can we do?"

Madam Zhao said, "How about...let Brother Xiao go and plead for mercy?"

The old lady said, "Brother Xiao... has not been here these few days."

What do you mean he's not here? It's obvious that he's not familiar with the Jinyiwei and can't talk to them!

Old Madam Zhao cried, "Brother Heng is drunk... He didn't mean to tease her... Besides, he didn't know that girl was the commander's sister... Just 20,000 taels... Let's forget about it... Otherwise, they will beat Brother Heng to death..."

The second wife was horrified: "Twenty thousand taels? Where did our Lu family get so much money?"

Old Madam Zhao said, "Doesn't Miss Meng have money? Just ask her for it!"

Meng Qianqian pulled the curtain and entered the room: "Grandma, don't tell me I don't have that much money. Even if I did, I can't use it to fill the hole in your Zhao family, right?"
