About a quarter of an hour, Chunxi, who had gone to report the news, came back. When she saw several large boxes in the house, she felt a burst of joy on her face.

"Girl, are these compensations sent by the Duke's government?"

Jiang Ningbao gathered her thoughts and nodded with a smile: "Well, Chunxi, sort them out and put them in your private treasury." After saying that, she thought about it, got up and went to the inner room to take out a red whip, and casually placed it in the room. After a few swings, the movements were natural and vigorous.

"This whip is so easy to use."

Jiang Ningbao nodded with satisfaction. He had not 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, and his eyes widened slightly when he saw the girl flicking the whip.

"I thought about it and thought it would be safer to bring a whip with me when I go out in the future." Jiang Ningbao gently stroked the red whip with a faint smile on his lips.

She once promised her mother, Yang, that she would be a gentle and quiet lady, but now and then, her mother would definitely understand her when she comes back.

Today, Jiang Ningbao was inexplicably shot with a short arrow by the young prince, and Jiang Ningbao felt a sense of crisis again.

Who knows if she will encounter danger again in the future, especially since she is already taken care of by the heroine.

There is a whip beside you. If you are in danger, you can just swing the whip without having to do it yourself. No one knows whether this ancient man can touch porcelain.

Jiang Ningbao is not at all reassured by her fragile and beautiful appearance.

It's too tempting.

Chunxi couldn't help but think of the scene when the girl was nine years old, easily knocking down a big tree with a whip. She couldn't help but shudder. She shivered and said cautiously: "Girl, you are so It’s awesome, it doesn’t matter if you have a whip or not, who dares to bump into you without a long eye?”

If he hadn't seen the girl suddenly take out the red whip that had been dusted for many years, Chunxi would have been used to the girl's soft and frail appearance, and would have forgotten how ferocious the girl was when she was a child.

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

"Be prepared for a rainy day. With a whip, I won't get my hands dirty." Jiang Ningbao said unhurriedly and put away the red whip.

Chunxi: "..."

Girls are always prepared for danger in times of peace.

But if I think about it carefully, what the girl said makes sense. It's really not safe to go out, especially the arrow I encountered today. If the girl hadn't reacted in time, I might have been injured.

At this time, the master and servant never thought that the young prince's purpose was just to find Jiang Ningbao's true appearance.

Who let the young prince get used to being overbearing and not taking the ordinary path?

Main courtyard

The eldest lady Zhang, who returned to the courtyard, was furious and kicked out the maids and women in the house, leaving only Grandma Yang alone. She threw the porcelain in the house to the floor, her face was so gloomy and scary.

"Madam, please calm down."

Nanny Yang was frightened. She looked at the fragments, water stains, and heartbroken blood all over the floor. These were all fine porcelain, but Madam actually dropped them on the floor.

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

"Bang!"

A glazed vase was smashed to pieces, 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 several large boxes is all cheaper than that dead girl in the second room, I can't swallow this breath in my heart."

The eldest lady Zhang held her chest and panted heavily, roaring gloomily.

It was obviously the compensation she had negotiated with Prince Xie, but it all fell into the hands of the four girls. The old lady was also holding back, pretending to be generous, and the uncle even glared at her fiercely when he left. He blamed her for not doing good things, and now she is in some foxy house in the backyard.

Business comes and goes in vain.

Mrs. Zhang's heart was full of hatred. She was also the legitimate daughter of a declining noble family, but her parents' family could no longer make ends meet. The next few cannot be dismissed to maintain the dignity of the noble family.

My parents' family is too shabby, and Mrs. Zhang has no face, so she always has to give her a try.

The decline of the Changning House was due to the fact that there had not been a fourth-grade official or above for several generations. There was no shortage of money in the house. The deceased second brother was a business prodigy who earned tens of thousands of dollars for the house, as well as vast hectares of fertile land.

At the beginning, they also valued this. The second sibling Yang wanted to live in separate houses, but Zhang kept telling the old lady that it was best for full brothers to live together to help each other and benefit from each other.

As it turns out, she was right.

The life in the uncle's house is prosperous, and the food and clothing are better than ever.

After the death of the second brother and his wife, the financial power of the house was in the hands of the old lady. Mrs. Zhang did not dare to blatantly subsidize her parents' family. She also had two legitimate children. The eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, and the pregnancy was a bit unstable. An eldest daughter who married into the Hou family needed her support, so she set her sights on Jiang Ningbao's compensation, specifically requesting two large boxes of gold as compensation.

Now because of the old lady’s words, everything is gone, except for the dead girl in the second room.

Ms. Zhang was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

"Madam, from the fifth rank official position to the uncle, the fifth girl is about to be engaged to the young master of the second brother-in-law of the Xie family. But something can't happen at this time. When the fifth girl's marriage is settled, you can deal with the fourth girl. It won’t be too late.” Aunt Yang was afraid that Madam would be impulsive and ruin things, so she quickly advised her with sincerity.

As soon as the eldest lady Zhang heard that Nanny Yang mentioned Yao'er, her anger immediately subsided a lot.

Yes, the top priority is to settle Yao'er's marriage first.

We will postpone the matter of cleaning up Jiang Ningbao until later.

"Mother Yang, pick a few smart and pretty maids to send to the west courtyard, so as not to let people say that our Chang Ning Mansion is harsh on the second-bedroom girl, and only has one maid around to serve her." Madam Zhang said gloomily.

"Brother Jin, who is in the second room, is also eighteen years old, and he doesn't have a maid who knows how to deal with people. It's my negligence as an aunt. Remember to send a few good-looking and capable maids to his yard."

When I woke up from my nap, I heard laughter and laughter coming 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 pretty maids embroidering purses under the eaves, talking and laughing.

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

The four pretty maids heard an unpleasant question and looked up. It was the fourth girl. They quickly put away the sewing baskets in their hands and respectfully stepped forward and curtsied: "I have seen the fourth girl."

"The four slaves are the maids arranged by the eldest lady to serve the girl." One of the pretty maids with an apple face explained crisply. After that, the four of them introduced each other.

Each one has its own strengths, making it hard to fault.

Jiang Ningbao's eyes flashed, it turned out to be the maid arranged by the aunt.

Three years ago, her parents were 'disadvantaged'. She and the maids, wives, and boys in her eldest brother's courtyard all found other jobs and left the west courtyard. Her eldest uncle never cared about her.

Now, four maids were sent to serve her.

I guess there is something wrong inside.

But Jiang Ningbao couldn't refuse. As a direct daughter of the uncle's house, it was really too shabby to have only one maid to serve her, so she refused this time and the next time.

If you want to buy someone from outside or arrange for someone to enter the house, you need to get the consent of Mrs. Zhang. Despite the trouble, success may not be possible.

Jiang Ningbao only thought about it for a moment, then left these four maids behind and wrote down their names.

"Bai Mei, where is the spring joy?"

Bai Mei was about to answer when Chunxi hurried into the yard. Seeing that the girl was awake, he hurriedly stepped forward as if he wanted to say something 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 Bai Mei pursed her lips and secretly put her ear to the door, but she couldn't hear anything. She could only go back to the eaves of the corridor to continue embroidering handkerchiefs and purses.

Inside the house

Jiang Ningbao sat on the low couch, glanced at the anger that could not be concealed on Chunxi's face, couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Chunxi, what happened?"

"Girl, the eldest lady sent four maids over shortly after you fell asleep. Not only that, the eldest lady also sent four beautiful and enchanting maids to the third young master's yard, saying that they were for the third young master to understand human affairs. A maid in the same room."

When Chunxi finished speaking, her face turned slightly red and her voice became much softer.

Jiang Ningbao’s eyes darkened.

What a great uncle, she actually reached out her hand into the eldest brother’s yard. If the eldest brother hadn’t been studying in Qingshan at this time, she would have ruined the eldest brother.

At this time, Jiang Ningbao was extremely lucky that after leaving the filial piety period, her eldest brother entered Qingshan Academy with the help of her maternal 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'm sending a letter to my eldest brother."

Jiang Ningbao thought for a while. His eldest brother once said in his letter that he would go back to his hometown at the end of this month. Now it seems that it is better not to go back to his hometown, lest the eldest uncle behaves like a monster again.

After Chunxi sent the letter, Jiang Ningbao stayed at home peacefully, ignoring the ups and downs outside.

…………

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

"Miss Jiang Si is so grand. She said in public that Crown Prince Xie and Miss Yang are a perfect match."

"It's really atmospheric."

"I heard that if it hadn't been for the arrow shot by the young prince of Prince Rui, no one would have known that Miss Jiang Si was so beautiful. It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time, otherwise I could have seen how beautiful Miss Jiang Si was."

"I was there to watch. Miss Jiang Si was really beautiful and elegant. I wonder who said Miss Jiang Si was ugly and shameless. Could it be that she was jealous?"

"No matter how beautiful she is, it is of no use. Prince Xie has not divorced her. A woman who has divorced her has both parents dead and her family background is poor. No matter how beautiful she is, it cannot be said to be a good marriage."

"Tsk, you're saying sour grapes because you can't eat them. Miss Jiang Si didn't even pay attention to her, and she even said that she wanted to marry Duke Dingguo, whom 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 Prince Xie's jokes?"

"I think so too."

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

"Hmph, I think Miss Jiang Si is out of her mind and wants to take revenge on Crown Prince Xie. She deliberately said she would marry Duke Ding. In fact, she just wants to spite Crown Prince Xie."

"This makes sense. Miss Jiang Si must have complained after someone broke off her engagement, but she shouldn't make fun of Duke Ding."

"That is, a woman who has withdrawn from marriage has a bad reputation. How can she be worthy of Duke Ding? Besides, Miss Jiang Si is also the former fiancée of Prince Xie, which is inconsistent with etiquette."

"Don't talk about whether it is in line with etiquette or not. Duke Dinh has lived and died for Dai Viet and guarded the Dai Viet Dynasty. We just want Duke Dinh to have a lady who knows both coldness and warmth. Those noble ladies are all afraid of death and avoid them like snakes and scorpions. At least Miss Jiang Si has courage, and for this reason, she is definitely worthy of Duke Dingguo."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately agreed.

"I have inside information that the first time Butler Zhao of Duke Dingguo came to cancel the engagement, Miss Jiang Si refused Prince Xie's compensation and said she wanted to marry Duke Dingguo. A few days ago, Mrs. Xie said I went to Kiyomizu Temple to find out the horoscopes from the eminent monk."

"What was the result?"

"It is said that Miss Jiang Si's destiny is very special, and it is very consistent with the horoscope of Duke Dingguo."

"Ah, is it true?"

"Of course it is true. Let's just wait for Mrs. Xie to propose marriage to Uncle Ning's house."

Second floor of a teahouse

Yang Shuqing, who was dressed in men's clothing, was sitting there drinking tea. She was in a very good mood when she learned that Jiang Ningbao and Xie Shizi had officially broken off their engagement. However, when she heard the discussion below, she couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the tea cup, and her eyes were dark and unclear. .

"Master, Miss Jiang Si really said that she wanted to marry Duke Ding. Could it be that she was so angry that she deliberately tried to spite Miss Ying and Prince Xie?" Qianrong, who was pretending to be a servant, couldn't help but wonder.

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

"Miss Jiang Si is not destined to marry into the Duke's palace."

Jiang Ningbao obtained the ancient wine brewing recipe in her previous life, but she still could not save Ding Guogong’s life, let alone this life, the ancient wine brewing recipe has fallen into her hands.

How about a special fate? In the early years, there were several women with special fates, but unfortunately they all failed one by one. From then on, no one dared to marry the Duke of Ding.

Dong Guo Gong became a poisonous son-in-law in the eyes of women from the Dai Viet Dynasty.

Jiang Ningbao will not be that exception.

When Yang Shuqing thought of this, she felt that her worries were unfounded, and all the worries and worries in her heart disappeared.

Sit back and watch Jiang Ningbao’s jokes.

Suddenly, a waiter walked into the teahouse with an anxious face. He found Yang Shuqing, who was disguised as a man, on the second floor. He whispered a few words in her ear. Yang Shuqing's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly paid and left the teahouse.
