After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 275 The handle you hold is quite big

Just as the carriage carrying Qiao Jingjing and others was about to leave, it was suddenly stopped.

"Is that Mrs. Lu inside?" a strange voice asked from outside.

Aunt Rong opened the curtain and looked out, only to see an old woman about fifty years old standing outside the carriage.

Seeing Aunt Rong with the car curtain open, the old woman raised her eyes and glanced at her, half-smiling, "Why, you haven't seen me for so many years and you don't recognize me anymore? Rong Lan."

Aunt Rong's expression changed, but she stabilized, "Auntie, are you mistaken for the wrong person? I don't know you." After saying that, she lowered the curtain and looked back at Mother Lu, but she didn't say anything.

Naturally, Mother Lu also saw the old woman.

She paused and said calmly, "Let's go."

Aunt Rong nodded and shouted outside: "Old Ding, let's set off."

But before the coachman outside could respond, the old woman suddenly said loudly: "Miss Fourth, the eldest lady will be waiting for you at Qinyuan Building tomorrow afternoon. Don't keep the eldest lady waiting. You know, the eldest lady doesn't have much patience. If anyone knows about your biological mother’s background, it may be detrimental to Mr. Lu’s future.”

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing frowned. What did the old woman outside mean? Threatening Mother Lu?

She looked at Mother Lu and Aunt Rong.

The former's face was relatively calm, but the latter's face was angry.

Aunt Rong was really angry.

If the old lady hadn't been afraid of exposing her identity, she would have really wanted to rush down and tear out Nanny Li's mouth.

What dares to threaten the old lady?

The old lady is no longer the fourth lady that no one loved or protected.

The old lady is now not only the mother of the Minister of Civil Affairs, but her youngest son is also a guard of the emperor. Not to mention, the young lady is about to become a queen, and her mother will be honored by the world.

How dare she use her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Ruan family to bully the old lady?
Did she think that the old lady would still obediently let her bully and oppress her?
Compared to Aunt Rong's anger, Mother Lu was very calm.

If it were her in the past, she would probably be worried about the consequences of disobeying her sister-in-law.

But now, she is no longer the weak and incompetent Miss Ruan Si who could be bullied in the past.

but……

Mother Lu frowned.

Her biological mother's background is indeed not good. If someone digs it out, will it affect Ah Xing and the others?
Especially pairs.

She will be the queen soon...

Mother Lu suddenly became worried when she thought of this.

The moment Qiao Jingjing saw her, her expression turned ugly. Knowing that what the old woman said had affected her, she raised her voice and said, "Uncle Ding, let's set off."

Soon, the coachman Lao Ding raised his whip and drove the carriage smoothly away from Guanyin Temple.

The old woman watched the carriage go away and frowned.

The fourth lady has not shown up yet, but she will probably go to the invitation tomorrow, right? Unless she doesn't care about her children's future.

But then I thought about it, the old lady celebrated her birthday yesterday, and the fourth lady didn’t show up either?
Thinking of this, she hesitated, but thinking that Mrs. Duan was still waiting for her, she walked towards the carriage not far away.

In the carriage, Mrs. Duan was impatient with waiting and ordered the maid: "Go and see if Grandma Li is back?"

The maid just opened the curtain and was about to go out, but she saw Nanny Li coming back and said hurriedly: "Nanny Li, why did you go so long, so that Madam can wait."

As soon as Grandma Li raised her eyes, she saw Mrs. Duan in the carriage. She quickly got on the carriage and reported back: "This old slave is useless. I only saw Rong Lan."

Speaking of Rong Lan, she felt extremely unhappy.

She was Mrs. Duan's nanny, and she was very popular in the mansion back then. Who would be disrespectful when meeting her? What's more, Rong Lan serves the fourth young lady who comes from a humble background. I just didn't expect that Rong Lan, who was submissive when he met her back then, showed no respect and even closed the curtain when he saw her just now.

The more Grandma Li thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became.

When she met Mrs. Duan's vaguely displeased look, she quickly stopped her thoughts and added: "But the old servant said that you will wait for her at Qinyuan Building tomorrow, so she must not dare not come."

Mrs. Duan felt irritated when she thought of the face she saw in the palace last time.

Duan Boyu actually recognized Ruan Mianzhu that day.

She didn't know about this originally. When she went to Duan Boyu's study to deliver ginseng tea a few days ago, she saw the portrait on his desk.

After so many years, I didn't expect that he still had Ruan Mianzhu's portrait hidden away.

However, the reason why he suddenly took out the portrait to look at it must be because he recognized Ruan Mianzhu at the palace banquet.

Has he rekindled his old love for her?

While Mrs. Duan was jealous, she also regretted not killing Ruan Mianzhu back then.

Thinking of this, she said with gloomy eyes: "I dare not come if she dares not."

When Grandma Li heard this, the hesitation in her heart disappeared.

Yes, Ruan Mianzhu dare not not come.

After all, her status is so humble. She can ignore herself, but she can't ignore her children, right?
Aunt Li felt relieved.

……

Qiao Jingjing observed Mother Lu's expression for a while.

Seeing that her complexion returned to normal, he felt relieved.

Although Mother Lu and Aunt Rong didn't say anything, judging from what the nanny who came to deliver the message said, Mother Lu and Aunt Rong were old acquaintances of her, and that nanny should be the person next to Mrs. Duan.

However, Mrs. Duan invited Mother Lu to meet at Qinyuan Building tomorrow. Will Mother Lu go?
After all, the nanny's words contained a threat.

Thinking of this, Qiao Jingjing felt a little worried.

Even though she knew that Mother Lu was now of high status and her children were promising, she still dared to threaten her. Mrs. Duan must have quite a handle on her.

And it seems to be related to the life experience of Mother Lu’s biological mother.

Qiao Jingjing was thoughtful.

Lin Fangfang naturally realized that something was unusual, but was smart enough not to ask any more questions.

When the Lu family's carriage drove into the city gate, Mrs. Yu's carriage had also arrived at the Duke of Qin's mansion.

After entering the mansion, Mrs. Yu went directly to the courtyard where Mrs. Qin lived.

Seeing her mother's sudden arrival, Mrs. Qin was very surprised, "Mom, why are you here?"

Seeing her daughter, Mrs. Yu's frown finally relaxed. However, when she saw her daughter's pale face, she wondered: "What happened? Why does she look so bad?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Qin raised her hand and touched her face, feeling extremely resentful.

Qin Moyuan really had no pity for her at all. On such a cold day, he poured water soaked in ice cubes directly on her body.

She had been infected with wind and cold in the past two days, and after taking medicine, she got better today.

After all, Mrs. Yu knew her daughter well. Seeing that she didn't speak, she immediately guessed something and said displeased: "Did my good son-in-law do something to you?"

Mrs. Qin originally didn't want to say anything, but when she heard this, she couldn't help it. She gritted her teeth and said: "Qin Moyuan took me to the dark room because of an outsider's words and wanted to torture me. I was really blinded by lard back then. , worked hard, but in the end..."

"Feng'er!" Mrs. Yu shouted, interrupting her.
