The Lu family was shocked when Lu Yanke received the imperial decree to take up a post in the Ministry of Works.

How could the Emperor have thought of such a lowly Imperial Guard?

The Ministry of Works was a place many people wanted to work for.

Good things unexpectedly happened to him.

It's much easier to get ahead in the Ministry of Works than in the Imperial Guard.

Lu Yanke was neither good at literature nor martial arts; his job in the Imperial Guard was merely to make a living.

His colleagues were all spoiled brats from prominent families in the capital, trying to gain experience and pave the way for better positions in the future.

The Marquis's mansion is now in decline; without someone to lend a hand, how can one obtain a good position?

Upon realizing this, Lu Yanke understood.

It must have been his father-in-law's connections that gave him such a great opportunity.

Touching his stomach, which was sore from the fall yesterday, Lu Yanke no longer held such a grudge against Jiang Chuwei.

It seems that although she hates him to the bone on the surface, she still has a marital bond with him.

That's true, how could a person change so much?

Although Jiang and he did not have a marital relationship.

But over the years, every time she saw him, she was filled with joy.

He has never even raised his voice, let alone been hit.

It's understandable that she was angry after learning about Hao Ge'er's existence.

However, since she hit him, they were even, and the matter was over.

Considering that she got his father-in-law to help him, he'll live a good life with her from today onwards!

Thinking of Jiang Chuwei's flawless face, Lu Yanke was eager to try.

Although consummating the marriage with her would be unfair to Rou'er, Rou'er should understand.

In the future, their Hao-ge will have to rely on the General's Mansion to have a bright future.

Jiang Chuwei was leisurely sipping the freshly stewed bird's nest at Avon.

If Jiang Chuwei knew that Lu Yanke was still coveting her, she would vomit up even this top-quality blood swallow.

"The quality is definitely different after spending a lot of money on it; it tastes refreshing and delicious," Jiang Chuwei praised.

“The old lady is always reluctant to part with this, isn’t it because the Marquis’s mansion can’t afford it?” Donghua immediately said.

Hearing Dong Hua say that, Jiang Chuwei felt ashamed of herself for another day.

I must have been out of my mind all these years.

The old lady and Chen Yulan drink the bird's nest she buys every day, and they are also covering up their son and grandson's affair.

It's better to feed this bird's nest to the dogs than to let them eat it.

"Jinfutang and Shoukangtang haven't come to cause trouble again, have they?" Jiang Chuwei asked.

“I sent a maidservant several times, but I sent her away,” Qiu Shu replied.

"They only dare to send their maids. They know it's shameful to beg for food from the younger generation," Donghua said indignantly.

Over the past few years, Miss has spent countless sums of money on the masters of the Marquis's mansion. The whole family has kept it a secret from her that the heir apparent's concubine's child is already three years old.

Fortunately, the young lady was utterly disappointed in the prince and didn't seem very sad.

Looking at Dong Hua's pouty face, Jiang Chuwei pinched her cheek: "From now on, your young lady will only treat herself well and will never be foolish enough to support this family again."

"That's how it should be."

Qiu Shu was relieved.

Miss is just too kind.

"Qiu Shu, come with me to the shop tomorrow," Jiang Chuwei instructed. "I need to discuss something with your brother tomorrow, so have him wait at the shop."

"This servant will go and deliver the message immediately."

After Qiu Shu left, Dong Hua immediately said, "Miss! You must take Nightingale with you. I don't know if the First Madam will try to harm you."

Why do you say that?

Jiang Chuwei was surprised to learn that even Dong Hua knew that Chen Yulan had ill intentions towards her.

"Haven't you noticed how ruthless the First Madam has become all these years?" Donghua asked.

"Do you think she'll kill me if I take back my dowry?"

"Yes!" Dong Hua said decisively.

“If the First Madam wants to deal with me, it would be more convenient to do so within the manor. Why go to such lengths?”

"Because we have very strict security measures in the manor, her influence cannot reach into Avon House."

It seems that Chen Yulan wants her dead now.

"Actually, this servant thinks that the First Madam would rather lay a hand on Miss outside?"

Why?

“If anything happens to Miss, the Marquis’s mansion can wash its hands of everything and then they can even try to get their hands on your dowry,” Donghua analyzed logically.

This startled Jiang Chuwei, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.

This family is full of monsters and demons, it's impossible to guard against them all.

Seeing Jiang Chuwei's terrified appearance, Granny Qiu said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You've frightened Miss for no reason."

"It's nothing, she just reminded me." I really do need to be wary of Chen Yulan going crazy.

Chen Yulan has a vengeful nature.

Chen Yulan will definitely find a way to get revenge for the losses she suffered at her hands these days.

Jiang Chuwei wondered if she had gone in the wrong direction from the very beginning after being reborn.

There's no way you can guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days

It's ultimately not safe to stay in the Marquis's mansion.

"Miss! Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Ya Fang Courtyard, nothing will happen!" Granny Qiu assured her.

Jiang Chuwei: "Thank you for your hard work."

Xia Qi rushed in: "Miss! Did the general help the young master? The young master actually got into the Ministry of Works."

"So fast?" Thinking of that person from yesterday, Jiang Chuwei's ears gradually turned red.

He's incredibly efficient.

"The young master said that his father helped him get the position. With his hopeless and incompetent nature, won't he cause trouble for the general?"

Xia Qi is worried!

Why would the general help this ingrate?

"He said his father helped him?"

"Yes! I heard him speak to the First Madam himself. He also said that Miss is deeply in love with him."

"Is he out of his mind?" Jiang Chuwei said angrily. "You all keep an eye on the yard today. If he comes, just throw him out."

"Yes, Miss! I will not hold back." Xia Qi replied immediately.

From the young lady's tone, they understood her attitude even more clearly: they couldn't be too kind to this family.

Sure enough, before it was completely dark, Lu Yanke arrived eagerly.

Xia Qi and Nightingale didn't stand on ceremony; they simply picked him up and threw him out.

When the news reached Shou Kang Hospital, the old lady showed no anger whatsoever.

She is now suffering from illness and is barely clinging to life.

They asked why the pills weren't as effective as before.

Jiang said that the old lady was furious on the day she took the medicine, so the effect was naturally greatly reduced.

In the past, when Jiang Chuwei was taking medicine, she would buy thousand-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to suspend the medicine, which naturally made the medicine more effective.

The old lady's illness worsened when she got angry.

Now, in Shou Kang Hospital, I don't even have the energy to curse anymore.

When Chen Yulan heard that her son had been thrown out of Ya Fong Court again, she was so angry that she threw and hit things in Jin Fu Tang.

Given the current situation, she really didn't dare to come to Avon.

Jiang Chuwei is acting like a madwoman now. She has no doubt that if you anger her, Jiang Chuwei will even dare to hit you.

The servants at Jinfutang were used to it, but it terrified the young master who had just returned.

Looking at his grandmother's unrecognizable face, Lu Haoran was so frightened that he huddled in Li Mama's arms and dared not move.
