Married To The Male Lead’s Father
70. Chapter 70
Xiaoyu loves to eat cats
The fourth girl is seeking death.
The maids trembled inwardly. Even though the fourth girl looked soft and weak, her cruelty was frightening.
Jiang Ningbao raised her eyes and stared at Aunt Yang, as if she didn't see Aunt Yang's gloomy face, she showed a very faint smile, and her tone suddenly became cold: "Mother Yang, go back and tell Auntie, As for the female commandment, I will tear it to pieces as much as she gives me."
Aunt Yang glared at Jiang Ningbao and left angrily with the maids.
Jiang Ningbao picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea. She didn't expect her aunt to make a move so quickly. If Mrs. Jiang had sent the daughter's commandment here, she might not have torn it into pieces, and she would have just followed it in disguise.
This Aunt Yang...an old thing who pretends to be powerful.
Ever since her daughter failed to climb into her father's bed a few years ago and was humiliated and betrayed by her father mercilessly, she has always hated her second wife. In the past, when her parents were alive, she did not dare to wait until her parents were 'passed away' , she, the daughter of the second wife, had no one to rely on, and with the support of Mrs. Zhang, Nanny Yang became bolder.
He always does some little tricks secretly to appease her.
Jiang Ningbao sneered in her heart.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and after a while, a cold, cold voice with a hint of uneasiness sounded outside the door.
"Fourth sister, are you there?"
Jiang Ningbao didn't expect fifth sister Jiang Mingyao to come over, she said calmly.
"come in."
How should I describe Wu Mei? She is a good girl with a cold temperament and upright views. She is nothing like the eldest lady Zhang. However, in this era of parents' orders and matchmakers' words, she finally married Xie Jingyi's biological brother.
In the book, after she got married, she secretly helped Jiang Ningbao several times because she felt guilty about Jiang Ningbao.
Later, it was discovered by Xie Jingyi and the heroine that Jiang Mingyao, who had never given birth to a son and a half, was sent to the family temple by her husband who had abandoned her due to various schemes in the backyard and was sent to the family temple to live with the ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern.
Jiang Ningbao sighed.
Sometimes, people really can't be too straight.
Jiang Mingyao came in alone. As soon as she came in, she saw the broken pages scattered on the ground. Her cold face was stunned for a moment. When she saw the writing on the page, she realized that it was a female commandment.
Thinking of Nanny Yang whom she met on the road, Jiang Mingyao's heart sank, she pursed her lips, her cold voice filled with apology.
"Fourth sister, I'm sorry."
Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly, called her over, and poured tea and water for her.
"Fifth sister, it's none of your business. Don't take it to heart. This is the spring tea sent by shopkeeper Yao. Try it."
Jiang Mingyao sat opposite the fourth sister, picked up the teacup and took a sip. The slightly astringent tea went into her throat. Looking at the calm and pretty face of the fourth sister, her heart miraculously calmed down. She pursed her lips and whispered. One sentence.
"Fourth sister, my grandmother and my mother have fallen in love with Xie Jinghui, the second son of the second wife of the Xie family, and want me to... let me get married to him."
"But I don't want to."
"I don't want to step on my fourth sister and get married to Xie Jinghui."
Jiang Ningbao had already known Madam Zhang's plan from the book. The original trajectory was that Jiang Ningbao was unwilling to break off the engagement, but Madame secretly reached an agreement with the eldest son of Duke Dingguo and forcefully broke off the marriage.
All the benefits were pocketed by Madam Zhang.
Now she is no longer attached to this marriage and does not want to be the prince's sister. She has promised to marry Duke Ding, which will make their plans come to nothing.
Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Jiang will definitely be angry.
Therefore, the fate of the fifth sister has not changed. It is imperative that the fifth sister and the second wife of the Xie family be tied together.
"Fifth sister, Xie Jinghui is pretty good as long as you don't touch his bottom line." Jiang Ningbao said softly and matter-of-factly.
No matter how hateful the eldest lady Zhang is, the fifth sister is innocent.
Jiang Ningbao is not the kind of person who likes to express his anger.
Xie Jinghui in the book had affection for Jiang Mingyao at the beginning. As long as Jiang Mingyao corrects his mentality and doesn't feel guilty and alienate him because of her affairs, and be framed and plotted by other women, which will wear away Xie Jinghui's affection for her, it will be easy to reconcile. Xie Jinghui manages his own small life, and he may not be happy.
Sometimes, a small change can lead to a completely different fate.
Jiang Mingyao was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the smiling Fourth Sister, and said calmly: "Fourth Sister, you... aren't you angry?"
"What are you so angry about? I'm just a niece. You are my aunt's biological daughter. It's obvious how close we are to each other. Isn't this human nature? I have said that I admire Duke Ding. If I can marry him, even if I die, I will. No regrets." Jiang Ningbao smiled, her smile was calm and gentle, with the tenderness of a woman.
This is actually a lie. In this life, Jiang Ningbao is a person who cherishes his life.
She has an indestructible constitution. Unless her lifespan is exhausted and she dies of old age or commits suicide, otherwise she is like weeds all over the mountains and plains. Wildfires can’t burn them out, but they grow again in the spring breeze. Her vitality is frightening, so Duke Dingguo can still think about it. Yes, if they met, he was indeed to her liking, and Jiang Ningbao wouldn't mind chasing after him.
Mrs. Xie should be able to pass that test very easily.
So Jiang Ningbao didn't care whether Duke Dingguo agreed or not.
One day I will accept him.
Jiang Ningbao is domineering and confident.
Jiang Mingyao stared at the fourth sister blankly, and suddenly felt that the fourth sister's smile was really beautiful.
"Fourth sister, Duke Dingguo is a dangerous person. Don't act out of anger and make fun of your own life."
Jiang Ningbao smiled and said nothing, but the determination in her eyes was seen by Jiang Mingyao. She became increasingly anxious, and when she was about to open her mouth to persuade, Jiang Ningbao gently patted the back of her hand: "Fifth sister, it is about my lifelong happiness. I have my own opinion, you don’t need to say anything.”
Jiang Mingyao could only leave with a heart full of guilt.
The yard was quiet again.
Jiang Ningbao took out a stack of account books and slowly looked at them while drinking tea. Fragments of warm sunlight shone into the room through the window lattice and scattered on the desk, making it bright and warm.
Mrs. Zhang, the eldest lady in the main courtyard, was furious when she received the reply from Nanny Yang. She suddenly slammed the tea cup in her hand and said with a gloomy face: "Okay, very good. The fourth girl really doesn't know how to live or die. Wait until you retire." It’s a matter of marriage, let’s see how I deal with her!”
When Grandma Yang heard this, her old face couldn't help showing a look of joy, and she added fuel to the fire: "What Madam said is that the marriage of the fourth girl is still in your hands."
This Nanny Yang is also a vicious person.
She, a servant, had a grudge against her second wife for a long time, but she couldn't deceive her master. Apart from making some small moves in secret, she could only use the eldest lady's hand to teach the fourth girl a lesson.
Madam Zhang sneered: "The fourth girl said that she wanted to marry Duke Ding, regardless of whether she was destined to die or not. It would be better if she died to save me the trouble. If she didn't die, I would definitely tell her a story. 'Good' marriage!"
Nanny Yang was even happier now.
Dingguo Gongfu, Rongxi Hall, filled with sandalwood.
The silver-haired Mrs. Xie slowly moved the floating tea leaves in the tea bowl with the tea lid, and listened quietly to Butler Zhao's report, her expression changing.
The life-long events of her son have always been Mrs. Xie's concern. However, her son has such a physique that women are afraid of avoiding him. Now a woman who is desperate for her life appears.
Even if she was the fiancée of her adopted grandson.
The fourth young lady of the Jiang family was born in the second eldest brother's house of Uncle Ning. She has a good family background and good looks. If she can really resist her son's evil spirit... Mrs. Xie's eyes flashed with emotion.
She is just a mother. As long as her son has a wife to accompany him throughout his life, his adopted grandson and the so-called etiquette are not as important as her own son.
Aunt Huang is Mrs. Xie’s confidant, the wife of Butler Zhao, and was Mrs.
"Old madam, why not secretly ask the eminent monk to calculate the birth date of Miss Jiang Si. If it matches the birth date of the Duke of Guo, it is not a bad idea to exchange for this marriage."
Madam Xie took a sip of the tea soup and her expression became even more moved.
"You're right, it doesn't hurt to give it a try."
Butler Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took out the Geng Tie he had already prepared from his sleeve, handed it over respectfully, and said, "Old madam, this is the Geng Tie from Fourth Miss Jiang."
Originally, the Geng Tie was required to be returned when the engagement was broken off, but the Changning House had not officially agreed to break off the engagement, so Jiang Ningbao's Geng Tie was naturally not returned.
Mrs. Xie nodded, with a flash of expectation in her eyes, and signaled Nanny Huang to put the Geng Tie away.
"Old madam, there is one more thing. The eldest lady of Uncle Chang Ning's Mansion just sent someone over to put forward some more conditions." Butler Zhao thought of the confidant of Mrs. Chang Ning who had just been sent away, and once again sympathized with Miss Jiang Si, whose parents had both died.
"What conditions?"
"Mrs. Chang Ningbo hopes that her little daughter can get married to Master Xie Jinghui, the second son of the Xie family." Butler Zhao replied respectfully, not liking Mrs. Chang Ningbo for taking advantage of Miss Jiang Si.
Mrs. Xie suddenly raised her head, frowned, and said with a cold expression: "I will not get involved in this matter. You tell the prince and let him decide what to do."
After all, it was her grandson who insisted on breaking off the engagement, so he should resolve the subsequent troubles by himself.
Mrs. Xie originally liked her adopted grandson very much, and she was a direct descendant of the Xie family. She loved him very much, and even allowed the servants in the house to call him the eldest son. Who would have thought that he would do it for the sake of Marquis Anyuan? Mrs. Xie found it hard to accept that the eldest lady had canceled her marriage to the fourth daughter of the Jiang family. Mrs. Xie knew exactly how her grandson's marriage was decided, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous of him.
Etiquette and laws have always been very harsh on women when their engagement was withdrawn. The girls who were withdrawn from their engagement were either married off at random or sent to their family temples to have their hair twisted and became sisters-in-law.
What happiness can there be in the future?
Especially for a woman whose parents have died, even though she still has a good brother, but she has not yet established herself, and the eldest lady of Changning House is a shrewd and snobbish person, it is conceivable that the future of Fourth Miss Jiang is worrying.
But the Duke's Mansion ultimately needs him to pass on the legacy.
Mrs. Xie could only turn a blind eye, help him deal with the aftermath, and try to make up for Miss Jiang Si as much as possible. She secretly hoped that Miss Jiang Si and her son would be compatible, so that her grandson would not ruin her life.
"Butler Zhao, please don't let the Crown Prince know about the conditions proposed by Miss Jiang Si for the time being. There will probably be no news in Changning's Mansion that Miss Jiang Si has promised to marry my son."
Mrs. Xie couldn't help but give her a final warning. She didn't want Miss Jiang Si to be criticized at this time, even if Miss Jiang Si and her son's horoscopes didn't match in the end.
Butler Zhao immediately agreed without informing the prince.
Things turned out just as Mrs. Xie thought. Neither Mrs. Jiang nor Mrs. Zhang thought about spreading Jiang Ningbao's unscrupulous remarks.
Therefore, the outside world only knew that Butler Zhao from Dingguo Palace came to cancel the engagement for the Crown Prince.
Even the male protagonist Xie Jingyi didn't know that his fiancée proposed to break off the engagement before him, and then promised to marry his adoptive father Ding Guogong without any nostalgia.
At the beginning of the year, the sun shone warmly on the earth, giving it a light golden glow.
Today is the day when the crown prince of Duke Dingguo officially goes to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion to propose marriage.
Xie Jingyi specially wore a dark red silver woven brocade robe, and tied an exquisitely embroidered purse given by Yang Shuqing around his waist. It made his whole body longer and taller, as handsome as jade, and his temperament was cold and noble, which made people fall in love with him.
