Married To The Male Lead’s Father

Xiaoyu loves to eat cats

Jiang Ningbao nodded in satisfaction, he hadn't used a whip for many years, and his technique was not unfamiliar.

"Girl, why did you take out the whip?" Chunxi was busy arranging the things in the box, when she saw the girl whipping the whip, her eyes widened slightly.

"I thought about it for a while, and I think it's safer to wear a whip when going out in the future." Jiang Ningbao gently stroked the red whip, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

She once promised her mother Yang that she would be a gentle and quiet lady of the family, but at this time and at that time, her mother will definitely understand her when she comes back.

Today, Jiang Ningbao felt a sense of crisis again when he was shot with a short arrow by the little prince for no reason.

Who knows if she will be in danger again in the future, especially since she is already missed by the heroine.

There is a whip by my side, if you are in danger, you can shake the whip directly, you don’t have to do it yourself, no one knows if this ancient man will touch porcelain.

Jiang Ningbao was not at all at ease with her delicate and beautiful appearance.

Too tempting.

Chunxi couldn't help but think of the scene when the girl knocked down a big tree easily with a random whip when she was nine years old, and couldn't help shivering. She shivered and said cautiously: "Girl, you are so powerful, you have It's the same without a whip, who dares not to bump into you?"

If she hadn't seen the girl suddenly take out the red whip that had been dusty for many years, Chunxi would have been used to the girl's soft and weak appearance, and would have forgotten how cruel the girl was when she was young.

At that time, the second master, the second wife and the third young master were hiding it together, so no one knew the girl's secret.

"Prepare for a rainy day, be prepared, and have a whip so that my hands won't get dirty." Jiang Ningbao said calmly, putting away the red whip.

Chunxi: "..."

The girl is always so vigilant in times of peace.

But after thinking about it carefully, what the girl said makes sense, it is indeed not very safe to go out, especially the arrow encountered today, if the girl hadn't responded in a timely manner, she might have been injured.

At this time, the master and servant never thought that the purpose of the little prince was just to miss Jiang Ningbao's true face.

Who let the little prince get used to being domineering and not taking the usual path.

main courtyard

After returning to the yard, the eldest lady Zhang was furious, and threw the maidservants out of the room, leaving only Nanny Yang, and threw the porcelain placed in the room to the ground, with a gloomy and frightening expression.

"Ma'am, calm down."

Nanny Yang was terrified, she looked at the debris and water stains all over the floor, dripping blood from her heart, these are all high-quality porcelain, and Madam fell to the ground.

If the old lady finds out, I'm afraid she will reprimand her for wasting it again.

"Snapped!"

A glazed vase was smashed, and the flowers and water in the vase were scattered all over the floor.

"Calm down, why should I calm down? When I think that the compensation for the big boxes is all cheaper than that dead girl in the second room, I can't swallow this breath in my heart."

Mrs. Zhang supported her chest and panted heavily, roaring in a dark voice.

Obviously it was all the compensation she negotiated with Xie Shizi, but it all fell into the hands of the fourth girl. The old lady was also holding her back and pretending to be generous. When the uncle left, he gave her a hard look, blaming her for not paying attention. Do a good job, now I don't know which fox's house in the backyard.

Busy and busy.

Resentment surged in Mrs. Zhang's heart. She is also the daughter of a descended noble family, but her mother's family can't make ends meet, and it's common to live on extra food. A few days ago, my mother sent a maid over, saying that the family had dismissed many servants, and only some could not afford it. Dismissal, maintaining the dignity of the honorable family.

Her natal family is too shabby, and Mrs. Zhang has no face, so she always has to drag her around.

The decline of the Changningbo Mansion is just that there has not been an official above the fourth rank for several generations, and the mansion is not short of money. The second younger brother who passed away was a business genius, and he earned tens of thousands of wealth for the Bo Mansion, and fertile land.

At the beginning, she also valued this point. The second younger brother and sister Yang wanted to live in a separate house, but Zhang kept telling the old lady that it was better for direct brothers to live together and help each other, so as to benefit each other.

As it turns out, she was right.

The days of Bofu are booming, and the food and clothing are more than one level better.

After the death of the second brother and his wife, the financial power of the mansion was held by the old lady. Mrs. Zhang did not dare to subsidize her natal family blatantly. She herself had two sons. The eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion needed her support, so she put her mind on Jiang Ningbao's compensation, and specifically asked for two large boxes of gold as compensation.

Now because of the old lady's words, everything is gone, and that dead girl in the second room is all cheap.

Zhang was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Ma'am, the position of the fifth-rank official fell to the uncle, and the fifth girl is going to be engaged to the second wife of the Xie family, the son of the second wife, so there must be no accident at this time. When the fifth girl's marriage is settled, it will not be too late for you to deal with the fourth girl. Afraid that Madam Yang would be impulsive and ruin the event, Mother Yang hurriedly persuaded her earnestly.

When Mrs. Zhang heard Yang Nanny mentioning Yao'er, her anger immediately subsided a lot.

That's right, the most urgent thing is to settle Yao'er's marriage first.

The matter of cleaning up Jiang Ningbao will be postponed.

"Nurse Yang, pick a few smart and beautiful maidservants and send them to the West Courtyard, so that no one will say that we are harsh second-bedroom girls in the Changningbo Mansion, and only have one maidservant around." The eldest lady Zhang said gloomyly.

"Brother Jin, who still has the second room, is eighteen, and there is no maidservant who understands human affairs around him. It's my negligence as an aunt. Remember to send a few maidservants with good looks and means to his yard."

After waking up from a nap, there was a burst of laughter from outside the yard.

Jiang Ningbao frowned slightly, got up from the bed, put on a coat, walked out of the room, and saw four charming maids chatting and laughing with embroidered purses under the eaves.

"Who are you and why are you in my yard?"

The four delicate maidservants heard an unpleasant question, and looked up, it was the fourth girl. They quickly put away the sewing baskets in their hands, and bowed respectfully: "Your maidservant has seen the fourth girl."

"The four servants are the maids arranged by the Da Furen to serve the girl." One of the pretty maids with an apple face explained crisply, and after finishing speaking, the four of them introduced each of them.

Each has its own strengths, making it difficult to find fault.

Jiang Ningbao's eyes flickered, it turned out that she was a maid arranged by her aunt.

Three years ago, when her parents died, she and the maids, women, and servants in the elder brother's yard sought other jobs and left the west courtyard. The uncle and mother never cared a word.

Now she has sent four maidservants to serve her.

I also know that there is a problem in it.

But Jiang Ningbao couldn't refuse. As a daughter of the uncle's mansion, it was too shabby to have only one maidservant by her side. She refused this time, and there will be a next time.

If you want to buy someone from outside or arrange for someone to enter the mansion, you need to get the consent of the eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang. Not to mention the trouble, it may not be successful.

Jiang Ningbao only thought about it for a moment, then left the four maidservants and wrote down their names.

"Baimei, where's Chunxi?"

Just as Baimei was about to answer, Chunxi hurried into the yard. Seeing that the girl was awake, she hurried forward as if she had something to say to her. Jiang Ningbao called Chunxi into the room and closed the door.

The four maids were left looking at each other.

The maid named Baimei pursed her lips, and secretly put her ears on the door, but she couldn't hear anything, so she could only go back to the eaves and continue embroidering handkerchiefs and purses.

inside the house

Sitting on the low couch, Jiang Ningbao glanced at the unconcealable anger on Chunxi's face, couldn't help frowning and asked, "Chunxi, what happened?"

"Miss, the eldest lady sent four maidservants over shortly after you fell asleep. Not only that, the eldest lady also sent four beautiful and enchanting maidservants to the third young master's yard, saying that they are the housemaids for the third young master who are well-versed in human affairs. .”

Chunxi's face flushed slightly when she said the latter, and her voice became much quieter.

Jiang Ningbao's eyes darkened.

What a auntie, she actually stretched her hand into the elder brother's yard. If the elder brother was not studying in Qingshan at this time, she might have ruined the elder brother.

At this time, Jiang Ningbao was very fortunate that after leaving the filial piety period, his eldest brother entered Qingshan Academy with the help of his grandfather's family.

If you stay in the uncle's house, how can you study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

"I'll write a letter to my brother."

Jiang Ningbao thought about it, the eldest brother once said in a letter that he would go back to the mansion at the end of this month, now it seems that it is better not to go back to the mansion, lest the auntie be a demon again.

After Chunxi delivered the letter, Jiang Ningbao stayed in the mansion with peace of mind, ignoring the ups and downs outside.

…………

The restaurants and teahouses in the capital were very lively, and people all over the capital excitedly talked about Miss Jiang Si's appearance and what she said in front of the government office, and they even mentioned Duke Ding.

"Miss Jiang Si is so generous, she publicly said that Mr. Xie and Miss Yang are very suitable."

"It's really atmospheric."

"I heard that if it hadn't been for the arrow shot by the young prince of Prince Rui's Mansion, everyone would not have known how beautiful Miss Jiang Si is. It's a pity I wasn't there at the time, otherwise I would have seen how beautiful Miss Jiang Si is."

"I was there to watch. Miss Jiang Si is really beautiful and very temperamental. I don't know who said that Miss Jiang Si is ugly and innocent. Is it because of jealousy?"

"No matter how beautiful it is, what's the use of it? Xie Shizi has divorced her. A woman who divorced her parents, her parents are both dead, and her family background is not high or low. No matter how beautiful she is, she can't be called a good marriage."

"Tsk, you can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour. Miss Jiang Si didn't even care about it, and she even said that she wanted to marry Duke Ding who she admired since childhood. Do you dare?"

"Yes, yes, I admire Miss Jiang Si's courage and hope that Miss Jiang Si will get her wish."

"Why do I think you want to see Xie Shizi's jokes?"

"I think so."

"Don't you want Miss Jiang Si to marry Duke Ding?"

"Hmph, I think Fourth Miss Jiang is in a daze. She wants to take revenge on Mr. Xie, and she deliberately says that she is marrying Duke Ding. In fact, she just wants to get rid of Mr. Xie."

"These words make sense. Fourth Miss Jiang must have complained when someone divorced her, but she shouldn't make a public joke about Dingguo."

"That is, a woman who has divorced her marriage has a bad reputation. She is not worthy of Duke Ding. Besides, Miss Jiang Si is the ex-fiancée of Xie Shizi, so it is not suitable for etiquette."

"Don't talk about whether it is in accordance with the law or not. Dingguo Duke was born and died for Da Viet, guarding the dynasty of Da Viet. We just want to have a lady who knows the cold and the hot by his side. Those noble girls are all afraid of death and avoid them like snakes and scorpions. At least they are Jiang. Fourth Miss has the guts to focus on this, and she is definitely worthy of Duke Ding."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately got everyone's approval.

"I have inside information that the first time the steward Zhao of Dingguo's mansion came to withdraw from the marriage, Miss Jiang Si refused the compensation from the son of Xie, saying that she would marry Dingguo. A few days ago, Mrs. Xie went to a Go to Qingshui Temple to find an eminent monk to combine horoscopes."

"How is the result?"

"It is said that Miss Jiang Si's fate is very special, and it is very consistent with Ding Guogong's horoscope."

"Ah, is it true or not?"

"Of course it is true. Everyone just wait for Mrs. Xie to go to the Changningbo Mansion to propose marriage."

The second floor of a teahouse

Dressed in men's clothing, Yang Shuqing was sitting there drinking tea. He was in a great mood when he learned that Jiang Ningbao and Xie Shizi had officially divorced, but when he heard the discussion below, he couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the teacup, and his eyes were dim.

"Master, Miss Jiang Si really said that she wanted to marry Duke Ding, did she get so mad that she deliberately tried to dissuade Miss and Mr. Xie?" Qian Rong, who was pretending to be a servant, couldn't help but wonder.

Yang Shuqing squinted her eyes, and there was a dark light in her eyes.

"Miss Jiang Si doesn't have that fate to marry into the Duke's Mansion."

In her previous life, Jiang Ningbao obtained the ancient wine brewing recipe, but still failed to save Ding Guogong's life, let alone this life, the ancient wine brewing recipe has fallen into her hands.

How special is the fate? A few years ago, there were several women with special fate, but unfortunately they all failed one by one. From then on, no one dared to marry Duke Ding.

Dingguo Gong became a poisonous son-in-law in the eyes of the women of Dayue Dynasty.

Jiang Ningbao will not be that exception.

When Yang Shuqing thought of this, she felt that she was worrying unnecessarily, and the little anxiety and hidden worry in her heart disappeared without a trace.

Sit back and watch Jiang Ningbao's jokes.

Suddenly, a servant walked into the teahouse anxiously, found Yang Shuqing who was disguised as a man on the second floor, whispered something in her ear, Yang Shuqing's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly checked out and left the teahouse.

What is even more strange is that the eminent monk did not ask Duke Dingguo to escape into the Buddhist gate to eliminate evil spirits. Instead, he gathered ten eminent monks and spent ninety-nine and eighty-one days to consecrate and bless him with a string of red sandalwood beads to wear on his wrist. It was only then that he barely suppressed the evil spirit all over him.

When Dingguo was twelve years old, he left home alone to go to the frontier battlefield. In just a few years, he made great military exploits, which made the enemy fearful and did not dare to attack. He was named the youngest hereditary Dingguo by the late emperor. He became the God of War in the hearts of the people in the Dai Viet Dynasty.

It's a pity that other than a masculine man, this Dingguo Duke still can't get close to women, even his mother, Mrs. Xie, can't get close to him.

When Ding Guogong reached the marriageable age, there were many noble women who did not believe in fate and frantically chased Ding Guogong, but the result was not good.

Dead or sick, no woman dared to approach this Duke Ding.

Absolute power is important, but life is even more important.

Life is gone, what's the use of power.

Now all the servants around Duke Ding are soldiers who have been on the battlefield, they are full of masculinity, but they need to be replaced every few days, and they cannot stay with Duke Ding for a long time.

All this is a well-known fact.

Now Jiang Ningbao, who is weak and weak like a gust of wind, insists that he will marry Ding Guogong. Everyone present is secretly guessing that the fourth girl is so mad because of the resignation of the eldest son. .

"No!" Mrs. Jiang regained her composure and slammed the table.

Duke Ding, Xie Heng, is only in his twenties but has a high position and authority, but compared to getting married, he will die. No, maybe he doesn’t need to marry. As long as he contacts Duke Ding for a few days, he might be gone. In addition to the relationship with Changning Bo's Mansion, it is better to be the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, so that the relationship between the two mansions can be further improved.

A flash of panic flashed across Jiang Mingyao's usually cold face.

Fourth sister... Why is fourth sister so confused, joking about her own life, she quickly grabbed Jiang Ningbao's hand and held it tightly, persuading her nervously and tactfully.

"Fourth sister, don't talk nonsense, Duke Ding is not something we can afford."

"Grandmother, it's a matter of granddaughter's life. Granddaughter just wants to be willful for a while, please grandma." Jiang Ningbao gently pushed Jiang Mingyao's hand away, raised her delicate face with a firm expression.

This is her choice after careful consideration.

When Housekeeper Zhao was talking just now, Jiang Ningbao roughly read this rebirth article. The heroine Yang Shuqing was not a good person after her rebirth. They retaliated one by one, and all of them ended up miserable.

In the book, Jiang Ningbao and the heroine Yang Shuqing had no intersection in their previous lives.

After the heroine was reborn, her fiancé was taken away, and Jiang Ningbao was blackened, becoming the biggest vicious female supporting role.

Jiang Ningbao will not and does not want to be this vicious female supporting role, but the male protagonist Xie Jingyi will definitely clean up the bad reputation of the female protagonist for seizing her fiancé, and the female protagonist does not want to leave a stain, so she is bound to have intersections with the male and female protagonists.

Since you can't escape, why not face the difficulties.

After being born in ancient times for 16 years and being influenced by the ancients for 16 years, Jiang Ningbao has a faint ladylike temperament all over her body. But the character that was cultivated in the bones of the previous life has not changed.

She was the one who was divorced, and she was the one who lost her reputation.

Being bullied to such an extent, Jiang Ningbao remained calm on the face, but she already had an idea in her heart, and even the old lady didn't know what she was thinking.

Letting go of marrying Duke Ding is only the first step.

Whether Duke Ding would respond was not in her consideration.

As for the question of whether she would die, Jiang Ningbao slightly lowered her eyelids, who could beat her?

"I never agree, don't mention this matter again!"

Mrs. Jiang was furious at Jiang Ningbao, who was not allowed to eat oil and salt. She swayed and leaned back on the grand teacher's chair with her forehead. The confidant maid Hong Xing quickly supported her.

"Mother, are you okay?" Mrs. Zhang gave Jiang Ningbao a hard look, stepped forward nervously, and patted her on the heart with concern.

Jiang Ningbao stood there motionless, except for that soft and delicate face, there was no trace of weakness in her body, just like a tough hibiscus flower.

It is opening gorgeously, exuding brilliance.

"Miss Si, Zhao can't make the decision on this matter, how about waiting for Zhao to report to the old lady before giving Miss Si an answer?"

After Mrs. Zhao was frightened, he calmed down instantly when he saw Mrs. Jiang's performance. Miss Jiang Si's suggestion was to say that Mrs. Zhao was not moved. , he took the opportunity to respond.

Compared with the son of the world, housekeeper Zhao loves the lonely and lonely father-in-law even more, and hopes that there will be someone around him who knows the cold and the hot.

Butler Zhao suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart for some reason, that Miss Jiang Si was probably not affected by the evil spirit of the Duke.

Such an intuition hadn't appeared for a long time after he stepped back from the battlefield, but this time it appeared suddenly, Steward Zhao glanced at this delicate and weak Fourth Miss, with a slightly dignified look on his face.

"Thank you, Housekeeper Zhao." Jiang Ningbao nodded calmly, ignoring Mrs. Jiang who was trembling with anger.

"Old lady, it is imperative for the eldest son to withdraw his marriage. Please think about it and give me an answer in two days. Zhao will leave first." After Zhao steward finished speaking, he cupped his hands and saluted, and hurriedly left the Changning residence with his people. .

Don't give Mrs. Jiang a chance to refuse.

"Evil, kneel down!" As soon as Steward Zhao left, Mrs. Jiang took a porcelain cup and slammed it onto the corner of Jiang Ningbao's skirt. With a bang, the porcelain cup shattered into pieces.

The tea splashed on her skirt, leaving little marks.

Jiang Ningbao pursed her lips, still standing straight, with a faint smile on her soft face, and a pair of extremely beautiful eyes seemed to flash with fire.

"Grandma, it's fine to retire, but my granddaughter doesn't want to swallow it. Duke Ding is the person my granddaughter admires the most. If she can marry Duke Ding, even if she dies, my granddaughter will have no regrets."

"Grandmother, please forgive your granddaughter's waywardness."

After Jiang Ningbao finished speaking loudly, she knelt slightly towards Mrs. Jiang, turned around and left the hall without looking back.

The maids and women in the hall lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath. The huge hall was so quiet that even a silver needle could be heard falling.

The old lady held her breath in her throat, trembling with anger, she stared at Jiang Ningbao's slender back as she left, her eyes were cold as if water would drip.

"This unfilial granddaughter is really going against the sky!"

Jiang Mingyao had been stunned for a long time, and her heart was complicated. She didn't expect that the resignation of the eldest son of the Duke's mansion would deal such a big blow to the fourth sister, and she actually had the courage to dare to contradict her grandmother.

The maid Hong Xing carefully brought over a bowl of Ningshen tea soup: "Madam, don't get so angry, drink some tea soup to calm down."

Mrs. Jiang took the tea bowl, and after drinking the tea soup, she calmed down.

"Mother, what about the fourth girl?" Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang quickly asked.

This is related to her son's future.

Mrs. Zhang can't do it if she doesn't care.

When Mrs. Jiang heard the eldest daughter-in-law mentioning this rebellious granddaughter, the anger that had just been suppressed burst out again.

She didn't like the soft and weak Jiang Ningbao, but now that Jiang Ningbao became uncharacteristically tough, the old lady only felt that her authority had been challenged.

Now that the Dingguo government has stated that it wants to withdraw from the marriage.

This granddaughter has no use value, and it will be difficult to talk about a good marriage in the future.

Mrs. Jiang narrowed her eyes, and waved away the maidservants around her, leaving only the granddaughter Zhang and Jiang Mingyao. She sneered coldly: "Si girl wants to marry Ding Guogong, let her go, anyway, her The marriage cannot be kept, I see what tricks she can come up with, except for the fifth-rank official position, you remember to ask for more compensation."
