After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

It was a dark and windy night in the Governor's Mansion.

A sneaky little figure crept out of the basket and grunted into the small kitchen.

When no one was paying attention, he grabbed a big chicken leg!

However, when Baoshu crawled back to her room with the big chicken leg in her arms, she was horrified to find that her basket was missing!

My cheap dad is gone too!

"Whoa!"

Baoshu went crazy!

……

Since Baoshu is not here, there is no need for General Lu to stay in Haitang Courtyard.

He threw the half-read script back onto the bedside table and stood up calmly.

His tall and slender figure blocked the dim candlelight behind him. His angular and handsome face was shrouded in darkness, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes could see through everything in the dark night.

Meng Qianqian asked calmly: "Will you come again in a while?"

If she doesn't come, she will sleep.

Admiral Lu sneered and looked down at her: "After all this time, it's already dawn. Do you think I have nothing to do?"

Meng Qianqian looked at the storybook he had flipped through and blinked calmly.

Admiral Lu bent his noble waist, and a strong sense of oppression and masculinity came to his face.

He pinched her chin with his bone-cold fingers and smiled playfully: "Or do you want everyone to see me coming out of your room? I don't mind, but I don't know if the Lu family will do anything to you."

Meng Qianqian looked calmly at the most ruthless and treacherous minister of this dynasty: "Wealth and honor are sought in danger. If I can get the protection of the Grand Commander, what's the harm in offending the Lu family?"

Lu Yuan smiled, his smile full of murderous intent: "This governor will not protect any woman. No matter how great your contribution is, your life or death has nothing to do with this governor."

"Remember this, Governor. I have never been a good person."

It was not until he left that Meng Qianqian let go of the silver needle that she was tightly holding in her hand.

Her entire back was soaked with cold sweat.

I have long heard that this treacherous minister is moody and ruthless, but with Xiao Zhaozhao around these few days, he has suppressed his murderous aura, giving me the illusion that he may not be as terrible as the rumors say.

In addition, the fact that he agreed to the deal so readily exacerbated this illusion.

She was being too hasty.

How could she, a small business woman, rise to the top overnight and climb onto this high branch that even the Lu family couldn't climb?

He brought Baoshu to see her because he wanted to coax her, not because he was really being manipulated by a little baby.

This feared commander-in-chief had no weaknesses, no fetters, and no emotions.

When Meng Qianqian woke up, everything in the room had returned to normal. She didn't know how the Jinyiwei moved such a large object, but it was not her concern anyway.

Nanny Li brought hot water into the room, hung up the curtains, looked at Meng Qianqian's slightly pale face and asked, "Miss, are you having a nightmare again?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly, "No, I checked the accounts late and didn't sleep well."

Madam Li said earnestly, "It rained a few days ago, and I just got better from the cold. Be careful not to get tired."

Meng Qianqian nodded: "I understand, Madam."

Madam Li brought the clothes over and said, "Young lady used to not like to be told nagging by servants."

Meng Qianqian said: "I was young and ignorant before, but I knew in my heart that Nanny was doing this for my own good."

Nanny Li smiled and said, "Of course."

The young lady has been sensible since she was young. She was raised in the palm of her hand but was not spoiled. However, after she fell into the water, her temperament became much more transparent.

"Miss!" Banxia came in with a food box, "I just came from the kitchen of the public house, and they said that the old lady was very angry!"

Meng Qianqian had expected the old lady to get angry, but she had thought she could at least keep calm for a few days, but she didn't expect that she couldn't keep her temper at all.

Speaking of which, it was because Meng Qianqian had taken too good care of the old lady in the past few years in the mansion, and the old lady was used to taking things. Suddenly, no one was paying for her, and she immediately couldn't sit still.

Early in the morning, she really asked someone to pawn the gold and silver jewelry in the warehouse, but the jewelry was of poor quality and old style, and was not worth much money.

The old lady then wanted the second wife to give up some money, but the second wife said she had none and pretended to be sick.

The old lady was so angry that she almost died. I heard that several bowls and plates were broken.

"Deserve it!"

Banxia said with relief.

Madam Li hurriedly said, "Keep your voice down, or someone might hear you!"

Banxia said playfully, "I saved that, Mammy!"

Meng Qianqian took a sip of tea and said, "You're so angry just because you gave up two shops. If you take more back in the future, won't it cost me, your grandmother's life?"

Banxia didn't understand, but Nanny Li's eyes lit up: "Miss..."

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Mammy, there is no rush to settle this account. Let's settle it slowly."

After breakfast, Meng Qianqian took Banxia out.

Everyone in the Lu family knew that the old lady loved storybooks, and she looked down on those bought by others. So Meng Qianqian went out to select them herself every one or two months.

It has been exactly one and a half months since I last went to the study.

"Miss, why are there so many soldiers on the street?"

"It's probably because it's almost the end of the year, and they're on patrol."

This scene probably means that the two Beiliang spies who escaped from Wanhua Tower have not been captured yet.

It’s not surprising when you think about it. Being able to escape from the Jinyiwei shows his ability.

"Mrs. Lu, are you here to pick a storybook for the old lady again?"

The servant boy welcomed Meng Qianqian in with a smile.

Meng Qianqian asked: "Are there any new scripts?"

The book boy smiled and said, "Yes! There will be many candidates going to Beijing to take the exam next spring. Suddenly, we have a lot of notebooks!"

Banxia wondered, "These candidates are not concentrating on preparing for the Spring Examination, so how can they have the leisure to write storybooks? The two young masters of the Lu family are studying so hard in the Imperial College that they don't even have time to go home!"

The book boy said politely: "Miss Banxia, ​​you don't know that some candidates come from poor families and have to rely on some means to make a living to earn some food and money."

Banxia understood: "Oh."

Meng Qianqian picked five books and asked Banxia to pay for them.

"Miss, are we going back to the Lu family?"

"To East Street."

She was going to take over two shops on East Street.

This place is not far from East Street. Just cross an alley and turn a corner and you will arrive.

Meng Qianqian and Banxia walked there.

In order to avoid being recognized, Meng Qianqian and Banxia both wore veils.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the first shop, Banxia hugged her young lady's arm and pointed inside: "Young lady, look, it's Miss Lin!"

This shop sells spices and rouge and powder.

Lin Wan'er was taking Luluo to choose from several boxes of high-quality rouge. Lin Wan'er was also wearing a veil, but people who were familiar with her could still recognize her at a glance.

Banxia snorted, "You're still wearing rouge when you're pregnant, vixen! Miss, are we still going in?"

Meng Qianqian smiled faintly: "Why not come in? I'm the principal wife, she should be the one to hide."

Banxia puffed out her chest and said, "That's right!"

The two entered the shop.

"Mrs. Lu?"

An excited female voice came from behind him.

Meng Qianqian paused slightly and was about to see who was calling her when she saw a lady in her early thirties, dressed in luxurious clothes and covered in jewels, walk past her and pat Lin Wan'er on the shoulder.

Lin Wan'er turned around.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "I knew it was you. I saw you at the banquet at the Governor's Mansion last time. I am from the family of Censor Wang. Do you still remember me?"

At this time, several ladies who were traveling with her also entered the shop.

One of them looked at Lin Wan'er and asked, "Madam Wang, who is this——"

Madam Wang took Lin Wan'er's hand and said to the ladies, "She is the wife of General Zhenbei, Madam Lu!"
