After Rebirth, I Became the Treacherous Minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 54 The Governor is coming

Meng Qianqian had caught a cold in the palace. She had no taste in her mouth and lost her sense of smell, so she always wanted to eat some sweet and spicy fried fruits.

"Mama Li told me, I don't want to eat this!"

Aunt Wan decisively took the fried fruit away.

Meng Qianqian sighed.

Grandma Li came over exhausted and sweating: "Oh, that girl was so sleepy that she screamed so hard that she couldn't scream for a long time."

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Let Tan'er sleep for a while."

Aunt Li asked worriedly: "Is everything going to happen after sleeping for so long?"

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Don't worry, Grandma, Tan'er is doing very well."

This is the truth. Madam Yan showed it to Tan'er, and she also checked Tan'er's pulse. In Madam Yan's words, Tan'er is as strong as a calf. Don't take medicine randomly, you can get well on your own.

Nanny Li still can't see through her young lady's gradually growing abilities, but she believes her young lady's words.

Thinking of something, she said again: "I'm going to see Pinellia ternata."

Grandma Li was a very worried person. After worrying about this and that, she spent the whole morning going back and forth between the three patients.

After lunch, it snowed harder.

The old lady likes to play in the snow, and she can tell the snow is so heavy. Meng Qianqian asked Nanny Wan to go to the old lady to have a look.

Aunt Wan was gone. No one was there, and she was afraid that she couldn't tell clearly, so she brought Aunt Wang over to the old lady.

"Madam!"

Aunt Wang bowed.

Meng Qianqian nodded: "Aunt Wang, where is my great-grandmother?"

Aunt Wang said: "The old lady is out."

Meng Qianqian was startled: "Get out? Where to go?"

Aunt Wang said: "When I went to the temple to offer incense, I thought that the old lady would ask the young lady to go with her."

Meng Qianqian pondered for a moment and asked, "Who did the old lady bring?"

Aunt Wang said: "Magpie and Zhao Si."

Magpie is the old lady's personal maid, and she is smart and alert. Zhao Si is the guardian of the house. The old lady always calls him to drive the car every time she goes up the mountain.

It seems that we have indeed gone to the temple.

The old lady didn't go out much on weekdays, but whenever she went to the temple to offer incense, she was happy to go along with her.

However, today is not a special day. Why does great-grandmother suddenly want to go to burn incense? Or I went alone.

Aunt Wang panicked: "Young lady, my servant..."

Meng Qianqian said: "Mother Wang, please go back to the yard first. I'll have someone pick up my great-grandmother."

Meng Qianqian returned to Haitang Courtyard and asked Aunt Wan to go to the outer courtyard to call Brother Wu and gave him a bag of silver: "You pick a few skilled guards and go to Hanshan Temple to pick up the old lady. If the snow is too heavy, , Don’t be in a hurry to go down the mountain.”

Brother Wu weighed his money bag and said, "Young lady, you won't need so much."

Meng Qianqian handed him another bag of clothes and two thick quilts: "Look for the one with the best skills, and the fastest horse."

Brother Wu understood: "Yes!"

Mountain.

In the Zen room where red charcoal was burning, the Supreme Emperor finished writing the imperial edict. Next to him, another middle-aged monk knelt.

He is Eunuch Fu, a confidant of the Supreme Emperor. Since the Supreme Emperor was placed under house arrest here by Lu Yuan, he also followed him and became a monk.

He sharpened the ink carefully.

The old lady is very much like a supervisor. The emperor writes and she reviews.

"Add, add more!"

The Supreme Emperor sighed: "I can't write anymore. How much does the old lady want to give that girl?"

Eunuch Fu laughed sarcastically: "Yes, you are the old lady of the Lu family, not the Meng family."

The old lady's eyes rolled, and she leaned over and asked the emperor, "Can I be a member of the Meng family?"

The Supreme Emperor: "..."

Eunuch Fu: “…”

It snowed like feathers all day long.

When Nanny Wan had time, she went to the door to take a look. She never thought that instead of waiting for the old lady, she instead waited for Lu Xingzhou, who had not returned for many days.

Lu Xingzhou worked in the Ministry of Industry and was away on business all year round. He rarely went home to live, especially on days like this when it was snowing heavily. Aunt Wan saluted: "Uncle..."

Lu Xingzhou entered the house in a hurry without even looking at him.

Aunt Wan looked suspicious, walked out and asked the coachman, "What happened?"

The coachman said: "Master Liu's mother passed away."

Master Liu was Lu Xingzhou's colleague. They had stayed together in the Hanlin Academy and had a close personal relationship. Later, Lu Xingzhou went to the Ministry of Industry, while Master Liu was transferred to the Ministry of War and served as the head of the Treasury Department.

Even though his official rank is only the fourth rank, he is a wealthy man. Moreover, Mr. Liu's father-in-law is Yong'enhou and his mother-in-law is the head of Changning County, so he is considered a prominent figure in the capital.

When Mrs. Liu was in good health, she often came to visit the old lady. She was one of the few outsiders whom the old lady could remember even after her dementia.

Aunt Wan brought the news back to Haitang Courtyard.

Grandma Li let out a long sigh and said, "I remember that Master Liu is Mrs. Liu's youngest son. She is about the same age as Mrs. Liu. At this age...it can be considered a happy event."

Meng Qianqian changed into plain clothes and said, "I'm going to see my great-grandmother off at her home."

After all, Nanny Li was a little worried about Meng Qianqian's health, but she thought that the Liu family was on this street, and if the old lady was at the house, she would definitely go to see Mrs. Liu off on her last journey.

Aunt Li nodded: "Slave servant and Aunt Wan will accompany the young lady."

Meng Qianqian and Mother Lu were the first to arrive at the door.

The two got into the same carriage.

Soon, the second lady came up with Lu Linglong.

The current relationship between the two houses is very delicate.

The second lady looked at Mother Lu and Meng Qianqian holding hands with a smile on her face: "Hey, sister-in-law, your good daughter-in-law is about to divorce your son, why are you so kind and let her ride in your carriage? ?”

Mother Lu said sternly: "If I can't shut your mouth with dinner, just get off here!"

This sister-in-law has always been a stubborn person, working hard and never complaining. It is rare to see such a strong-willed woman.

The second lady curled her lips: "Why are you angry with me? It's not me who asked her to make peace with her."

Mother Lu said coldly: "You didn't let Qianqian make peace, you just instigated brother Xiao to divorce his wife. Didn't the second brother warn you not to blame brother Xiao?"

The second wife didn't take her husband's words to heart at all, so it was naturally impossible for her to listen to Mother Lu.

She snorted.

Mother Lu stopped paying attention to her.

From the moment Lu Linglong got in the car, she couldn't take her eyes away from Meng Qianqian.

She was jealous of Meng Qianqian's beauty and wished she could scratch Meng Qianqian's face, which was a hundred times more beautiful than hers!

The old lady was in a car alone.

Lu Xingzhou, Lu Lingxiao and Mr. Lu were in the same car.

There are many guests coming to pay their respects tonight, some of them are relatives, neighbors and colleagues of Lord Liu, and the rest are relatives and friends of Marquis Yongen and the Lord of Changning County.

Due to the sudden incident, the Liu family was in urgent need of manpower, and even the mourning hall had just been built.

Mr. Liu knelt in the mourning hall, crying until his eyes were red and swollen.

After the Lu family paid their condolences to Mrs. Liu, he kowtowed to express his thanks.

Lu Xingzhou sat down opposite him and patted his shoulder: "My condolences."

Then he said to Lu Lingxiao and Mr. Lu, "Bring the servants from the mansion over to help build the funeral canopy."

He is from the Ministry of Works, construction is his specialty, and the servants in the house are also good at it.

He then said to Mother Lu: "Take Qianqian to the inner house to see Mrs. Liu, and ask if you can help her."

Lu Linglong said: "Uncle, I will go too!"

"Don't cause trouble!"

Lu Xingzhou knew very well that among the Lu family's many female relatives, the only ones who could handle matters reliably were Mother Lu and Meng Qianqian.

"I'll be there soon. You go up to the wing and rest for a while."

Mother Lu said to Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian said: "Grandma and Second Aunt are watching."

The old lady and the second lady are now hoping that she will make a mistake, and she cannot let them catch the blame.

Mother Lu said distressedly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it after a busy night."

While the two were talking, a loud message came from not far away:

"The Governor has arrived—"
