Married To The Male Lead’s Father
41. Chapter 41
Xiaoyu loves to eat cats. Chunxi, the maid, looked at the girl's charming smile. For some reason, she felt uneasy in her heart. She always felt that something was wrong with the girl.
When she went to the big kitchen to serve lunch at noon, she realized what her girl had done. She couldn't help but tremble a little, how could the girl be so confused.
She hurriedly carried the big food box to the yard, and saw the girl standing under an osmanthus tree in the yard, her fair and soft face full of nostalgia, like a beautiful picture.
Chunxi couldn't help but walk forward with a gentle step.
"Girl, you are missing the second master and the second young lady again."
Jiang Ningbao nodded lightly, remembering the jars of Nuerhong buried under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Several jars were brewed and buried together by her and her father. She sighed: "If my parents find out that I have been annulled, I don't know. How sad it would be.”
Since ancient times, Jiang Ningbao has been loved by her parents.
Thinking of the plot later in the book, where her parents appeared to avenge 'her', the corners of Jiang Ningbao's mouth raised slightly. It turned out that her parents had not passed away.
What a joyful thing.
Unfortunately, the book did not disclose where my father and mother were. It only said that they were rescued. The place was isolated from the world. My father's legs were broken, and my mother had lost her memory and could not return to Changning's residence.
"Girl..." A flash of heartache flashed in the maid Chunxi's eyes. The girl is really pitiful. The second master and the second young lady have gone, without the protection of their parents, and now they have been divorced.
Jiang Ningbao turned back and glanced at Chunxi. Chunxi was her confidant and maid. She had always stayed by her side and never left. In the end, she helped 'her' do many evil things and was sold to a dirty place.
"What's delicious for lunch today?" Jiang Ningbao gathered her thoughts and asked with a smile.
The maid Chunxi quickly announced the names of the dishes: "There are your favorite bird's nest and shredded chicken soup, eight-treasure duck, fried guinea fowl, sweet and sour short ribs, jade bean cake, wishful rolls, and fried vegetables."
I originally thought that Dachuang would be deprived of food when he found out that the girl had been annulled, but he didn't expect that it would still be the same as before.
Chunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Ningbao raised her eyebrows slightly, said nothing, turned around and went back to the house to have lunch. In fact, she couldn't skip food. Jiang Ningbao didn't care. Her mother's dowry was in her hands, so she didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
You can even open a small kitchen in your own yard.
It's just that Jiang Ningbao is too lazy to do this.
The food cooked in the large kitchen is quite delicious. As long as the quality of the meal does not decrease, it is okay to reduce the portion size.
After lunch, the maid Chunxi was clearing the table. She sat on the low couch, brewed a pot of fragrant tea, and stared at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree outside the window, her thoughts flying.
Speaking of her engagement with Xie Jingyi, the eldest son of Guogong Mansion, the book did not describe it in detail, but Jiang Ningbao knew it very well. In one sentence, it was just a life-saving grace and a good relationship between the two families.
When she was three years old, her mother Yang rescued the second wife of the Xie family and six-year-old Xie Jingyi from robbers on her way back from offering incense in the temple. At that time, Xie Jingyi had not yet been adopted as a son to Duke Ding.
After the Xie family's second wife was rescued, she learned that her mother had a three-year-old girl, and she took the lead in proposing a marriage. Seeing that Xie Jingyi was smart, smart, and good-looking, her mother agreed.
The two families are considered to be well matched.
The Xie family was originally a famous family, with deep roots and luxuriant branches. Especially after the Xie family gave birth to a hereditary Duke of Dingguo, it became even more famous.
The second son of the Xie family has many heirs, but few have achieved success. Their status in the large Xie family is mediocre, but Xie Jingyi, the direct son of the second son, is extremely good-looking and intelligent.
When Xie Jingyi was eight years old, she happened to be favored by Mrs. Xie. Under the witness of the clan, she was adopted by Duke Ding and became the designated heir apparent of Duke Ding's palace. Her fiancée's status rose rapidly and she became the envy of the noble ladies in the capital. The object of jealousy.
"He harmed the reputation of his savior's daughter for the sake of someone he liked, and in the end, he worked with the heroine to destroy her and her family. This hero is really ungrateful."
Jiang Ningbao took a sip of fragrant tea and murmured.
But why is this not mentioned in the book? It is only said that Jiang Ningbao was unwilling to break off the engagement and stalked the male protagonist. No, it was mentioned before. It was Jiang Ningbao who shouted out after doing all the vicious things to the female protagonist Yang Shuqing and ruining her reputation. , but it was too late. The people who knew all this, except her parents, were either dead or silent, and no one believed it.
I just felt that she was randomly biting Duke Dingguo who had just inherited the title.
Jiang Ningbao frowned slightly, looking thoughtful. After a while, she suddenly realized it and sighed softly: "What a silly girl."
The word love is charming.
Fortunately she is not the 'she' in the book.
Jiang Ningbao, who had memories of her previous life, had little affection for Xie Jingyi, her fiancé. In fact, Xie Jingyi was not the one she liked, but the marriage was settled and it was a done deal. Jiang Ningbao followed the locals and decided to treat him as a guest for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, I discovered that I was wearing a book.
Facing the dilemma of being withdrawn from marriage.
No one knew Jiang Ningbao's inner excitement and joy.
At this time, the maid Chunxi came back with a basket of bright red strawberries in her hand. She opened the eight-jeweled curtain and entered the inner room. She placed the basket of cleanly washed red strawberries on the low table next to the low couch. Hesitating, Chunxi bit her lip and finally couldn't help but complain.
"Girl, shopkeeper Yao just sent over a basket of strawberries, and the eldest lady sent someone to take away most of the basket."
Shopkeeper Yao is the head shopkeeper in charge of Jiang Ningbao’s trousseau shop.
In the past three years, he has sent fresh fruits and melons to Changning Bofu and Qingshan Academy every season. Unfortunately, most of the fruits sent to Changning Bofu went into the pocket of the eldest lady Zhang.
Chunxi couldn't help but feel distressed every time she saw him.
"Chunxi, don't worry about this little thing. Auntie doesn't dare to go too far."
Jiang Ningbao chuckled, picked up a red strawberry, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and said nonchalantly.
Chunxi, the maid, thought about it. In the past three years, the eldest lady had never bought all the fruits sent by shopkeeper Yao. However, putting aside the fruits, Chunxi began to worry about other things.
"Girl, the eldest lady actually allowed the servants in the palace to talk about the girl's annulment. It is estimated that everyone in the capital will know the news that the young lady has been annulled by the Dingguo Palace."
Jiang Ningbao raised her eyes and glanced at Chunxi, with a slight smile on her delicate and soft face: "The news will spread sooner or later anyway, Chunxi, we have to calm down, isn't it just breaking off the engagement? It's no big deal."
The brighter the fire, the better.
Chunxi bit her lip and felt sorry for the girl: "But...but it's obviously not the girl's fault!"
Jiang Ningbao smiled lightly and blinked at Chunxi.
"Happy spring, nine times out of ten things in this world will be unsatisfactory. How could you know that a better fate is not yet to come?"
After saying that, she picked up a strawberry again and ate it, squinting her eyes in contentment, but secretly wondering why there were no rumors that she wanted to marry Duke Ding.
In Jiang Ningbao's opinion, Duke Dingguo is countless times better than the ungrateful bastard Xie Jingyi, the male protagonist. Unfortunately, he is not the male protagonist, he is just a golden finger for the male protagonist. He must die early. All the power, title and connections are at the advantage of the male protagonist. Establishing his status as the number one male protagonist.
It's really frustrating.
Fortunately, she has magical wine-making skills, and the wine she brews has magical properties. As long as she marries Duke Ding, she will definitely brew more medicinal wine and give it to Duke Ding, and she will live a long life.
When it comes to being a hindrance, she is a professional.
Jiang Ningbao's eyes flashed with light.
After all, Chunxi was not as optimistic as the girl. She didn't know that her girl was so bold that she wanted to marry Duke Dingguo, otherwise she would be frightened.
"But, the girl's engagement has been broken off, and it will be difficult for her to have a good marriage in the future." Chunxi said sadly.
In particular, the person who had withdrawn from the engagement was the Crown Prince Xie of Dingguo Palace.
Jiang Ningbao smiled, and a hint of timidity appeared unconsciously between her eyebrows, which was quite endearing.
"Chunxi, what do you think of Ding Guogong?"
"When Butler Zhao came to cancel the engagement today, I got excited and said that I wanted to marry Duke Ding. Butler Zhao promised to go back to the house to report to the old lady Xie."
Jiang Ningbao slowly threw down a big thunder.
"Girl, Duke Dingguo is a good man, but... he is not a good man. He is too dangerous, and all the women who come close to him will end up badly. Girl, please don't let your mind wander."
Chunxi looked frightened and urged anxiously.
"Chunxi, maybe Duke Dingguo and I are a match made in heaven." Jiang Ningbao looked at Chunxi's frightened expression, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of fragrant tea, and made a joke that seemed to be true.
In her previous life, apart from her miraculous brewing skills, she had no special powers. No matter how much danger she encountered in the end of the world, every time her teammates died, she was lucky enough to survive.
I don’t know if she was too lucky or if she was lucky.
In the end, Jiang Ningbao's relatives and friends disappeared one by one, and she was left alone in a world full of zombies, living vigorously. Until the zombie king was destroyed and the world returned to new life, she had no desire to live. Then...he committed suicide.
Unexpectedly, he did not die even after committing suicide, but was reincarnated into ancient times with his memories.
It is no longer a devastated apocalypse with no relatives. In this life, she has parents who love her. She can eat all kinds of delicacies and brew all kinds of magical wine as she likes. Jiang Ningbao once again has the desire to live.
For a woman as determined as she is, isn't it a perfect match for Ding Guogong?
There was silence in the room for a moment.
A match made in heaven...
I wonder which woman can be a perfect match for Dingguo Gong.
Chunxi took a deep breath and tried to dispel the girl's dangerous thoughts: "Girl, before you, there were so many noble girls who didn't believe in fate and eagerly approached them. Those girls took as short as one day and as long as seven days, and each of them had a bad end. Over time, they... No woman dares to approach Duke Dingguo."
"Girl, you can't put yourself at risk."
"Girl, think about the third young master. If the third young master knows about this, he will definitely be worried about you."
Jiang Ningbao's face softened when she heard Chunxi mentioning her biological eldest brother Jiang Jin. Wait, why did she forget to send a revised book to Qingshan Academy for her eldest brother?
In case the eldest brother would be worried after hearing the rumors, he would rush back to the house without intending to prepare for the exam.
Jiang Ningbao suddenly stood up and went to the desk, ignoring the anxious and worried maid Chunxi, and quickly spread out rice paper, polished ink, and wrote a letter telling him the ins and outs of breaking off the engagement and her plans. After sealing it, she handed it to Chunxi and gave instructions. Said: "Chunxi, please give this letter to Shopkeeper Yao and ask him to send it to Qingshan Academy."
"Yes, girl." Chunxi thought her persuasion was effective and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully put the letter into her sleeve and hurriedly left the yard.
Not long after Chunxi left, several maids and ladies came to the yard. One of them was Grandma Yang, who was the confidant of Mrs. Zhang.
Aunt Yang bowed slightly to Jiang Ningbao with an expressionless face.
"Fourth girl, my wife ordered my slave to give you a book. I hope you will copy it carefully. You must be careful in your words and deeds in the future and never contradict your elders again."
After saying that, a maid respectfully handed over the book she was holding.
Jiang Ningbao took the book and took a look, only to see two big words written on the book: Female Commandments!
Is the eldest aunt asking her to copy the female precepts?
Jiang Ningbao stuffed the female commandment back into her maid's hand without any hesitation, and refused softly: "Mother Yang, please take this female commandment back with you, I don't need it."
Yes, she doesn't need a female commandment.
The eldest aunt wanted to hit her with a female commandment, which was simply ridiculous.
Grandma Yang's expression darkened, and she could not refuse. She took the female commandment from the hand of the maid and forcefully stuffed it into Jiang Ningbao's arms. She said coldly: "Fourth girl, this is the order of the eldest lady."
"Hiss, hiss..."
Jiang Ningbao tore the forced women's book to pieces on the spot, and the torn paper fell to the floor.
"First thing, I want to ask who will be compensated by the Dingguo Palace for the fifth-grade official position?" Jiang Ningbao raised her lips and asked softly.
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Jiang and Uncle Chang Ning's expressions darkened slightly.
Butler Zhao looked at Miss Jiang Si in surprise and replied truthfully: "Of course it's for uncle."
Jiang Ningbao frowned slightly, and a touch of weakness appeared on her face unconsciously, which was unbearable. She pretended to be confused and asked.
"I remember that taking the fifth-grade official position is compensation for renunciation, isn't it?"
"So the fifth-grade official position should fall to my biological eldest brother Jiang Jin. My eldest brother is over eighteen years old. He obtained the title of scholar in his early years and is preparing for the provincial examination this year."
