www.lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Marrying the Hero’s Dad!

The afternoon sun is the brightest.

The ex-fiancée is wearing a lake blue dress embroidered with white magnolia. She has a delicate and soft appearance, clear and clear eyes, and her brows are full of elegance. She is delicate and beautiful.

She was standing next to a handsome man who exuded fierce aura. Under the sunshine of spring, the two of them looked like a perfect couple.

Prince Xie did not expect that as soon as he returned to his home, he would see his ex-fiancée and his adoptive father standing side by side but quite harmoniously facing each other at the gate.

Shock and suspicion flashed across Prince Xie's eyes. The words of his ex-fiancee vowing to marry Duke Ding came to mind, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

After a while, he slowly rode forward, dismounted not far from the gate, lightly lifted his brocade robe, strode forward, and saluted respectfully to Duke Ding.

"I met my father."

When Jiang Ningbao heard Prince Xie respectfully calling Xie Heng, Duke of Ding, his father, his eyes couldn't help but linger on the two of them. One was powerful, handsome and powerful, while the other had a cool temperament, handsome and noble.

Same outstanding, equally extraordinary, and equally young.

Jiang Ningbao felt an inexplicable sense of joy for some reason.

The age difference between the two is nine years. People in ancient times matured precociously, but they only became fathers in their teens. Now that she saw the adoptive father and son, she really wanted to ask Mrs. Xie why she chose Xie Jingyi to adopt him as the father-in-law. Beneath the knee.

Isn’t it okay to adopt a two or three year old?

But when he thought about the fact that the book revealed that Duke Dingguo passed away in his thirties and that the male protagonist inherited the title of Duke of Dingguo, Jiang Ningbao suspected that there was some unknown secret in it.

The guards behind Prince Xie obviously did not expect to see the Duke of Guo, who rarely returned to the palace, at the gate of the mansion. They all dismounted and saluted the Duke with respectful faces from afar, and shouted in unison.

“I’ve met the Duke!”

There was a boy who had followed Prince Xie and saw Jiang Ningbao’s appearance at the gate of the government office, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

The woman next to the Duke of Guo turned out to be Miss Jiang Si.

Yang Shuqing in the carriage heard her fiancé outside shouting "Father" and the guards shouting "Ding Guo Gong" in unison, and felt happy. Maybe Ding Guo Gong returned home from the western suburbs camp specifically for the purpose of his son's engagement.

It seems that Duke Dingguo really attaches great importance to Prince Xie.

Thinking of this, Yang Shuqing happily opened the curtains and looked into the distance. Unexpectedly, what came into view was Jiang Ningbao, who was smiling like a flower and dazzling. A look of astonishment flashed across Yang Shuqing's beautiful eyes, and the joy on her face suddenly faded, and she suddenly fell silent. He came down and looked at Jiang Ningbao with a hint of hostility and coldness in his eyes.

Miss Jiang Si came to Duke Dingguo's mansion unexpectedly.

The news of her and Prince Xie’s engagement today has spread throughout the capital. Now that Prince Xie is her fiancé, Fourth Miss Jiang has not given up yet and covets her fiancé. Yang Shuqing’s pretty face tightened, and her expression suddenly turned cold. A few points.

"Jiang Ning Bao!"

Yang Shuqing lowered her voice and recited the name word by word. Her voice was so cold that it chilled people's hearts.

The suddenly chilly atmosphere in the carriage made the maids Qianrong and Clinique beside her lower their heads respectfully, their backs quietly soaked with sweat.

As the eldest lady’s confidants, they know better than anyone else how ruthless and clever the eldest lady is. Even Aunt Tan, who had been favored for nearly twenty years, fell into her hands, let alone several others whose reputations were ruined. Concubine ladies and young men.

Now that the Fourth Miss Jiang is hated by the eldest lady, Qianrong and Clinique tremble in their hearts. They can foresee the miserable end of this Miss Jiang.

Whenever the eldest lady takes action, she will definitely hit with one hit.

Xie Heng, Duke of Dingguo, stared at his handsome adopted son without saying a word. He thought of the reports from his personal guards and his mother's white hair on her temples. His eyes were filled with evil energy, and his whole body was filled with evil energy. There was a strong sense of oppression. He attacked Xie Jingyi with a fierce evil aura.

The group of guards at the back saw that the Duke would suddenly get angry, thinking that the prince had angered the Duke. They all knelt on the ground, their faces pale, and they endured the discomfort of the evil spirit, and there were big beads of sweat on their foreheads. Keep falling, shouting in fear.

"My lord, spare your life!"

Yang Shuqing and her two maids, who had not yet gotten off the carriage, were also swept away by the sudden violent aura of Duke Ding. Yang Shuqing's pretty face turned pale instantly, and she felt a suffocation in her heart. She gasped for breath, and her eyes A flash of fear.

Dingguo Gong is so scary.

The mere momentum is frightening.

Fortunately, fortunately, Duke Dingguo only had a short life span of two years. Otherwise, with such a terrible person living in Duke Ding's mansion, she was afraid that she would suddenly lose her life.

Yang Shuqing couldn't help but shudder.

"Father, I wonder why your son made you angry?"

Prince Xie's upright figure swayed slightly, and he was almost forced to kneel down in front of everyone. His cold and handsome face showed a trace of paleness and astonishment. He couldn't help but cast his eyes on his ex-fiancée beside his adoptive father.

This is a strange feeling. Prince Xie felt that his father's anger might have something to do with his ex-fiancée.

Jiang Ningbao met Prince Xie's eyes and obviously understood the meaning in his eyes. He raised a soft smile towards him and replied with his lips: It has nothing to do with me.

But I was amazed in my heart. As expected of the male protagonist, he could actually straighten his spine and stand as steady as a green pine under the huge momentum of the Duke.

When Xie Heng, Duke of Dingguo, heard his adopted son's question, the evil spirit in his eyes once again gathered and rioted, deep and cold, the majesty between his brows seemed to be released, and he pressed **** Xie Jingyi, his low voice was as cold as a knife.

"Unfilial!"

"Unjust!"

The guards behind Prince Xie were already pale, with cold sweat on their foreheads and their backs soaked. The Duke's aura was terrifying, but they admired the woman standing calmly beside him.

Unfilial...unrighteous...

These four words were like sharp knives piercing into the heart of Prince Xie. He was shocked, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly remembered that he was kneeling in Rongxi Hall to beg his grandmother for permission to cancel the engagement. It seemed that this incident should have angered his adoptive father. .

No wonder my adoptive father returned home at this time.

Unjust...

Prince Xie raised his head and looked at the delicate, beautiful woman with a demure smile next to his adoptive father again. It was her!

The adoptive father is seeking justice for her!

Prince Xie simply learned the reason for his adoptive father's anger and knelt down straight with a thud.

"Please punish me father."

The guards behind him were stunned.

Why did the prince admit it?

If word gets out, wouldn't it mean that the prince's official career will be ruined?

Chunxi, Butler Zhao and others were lucky enough to watch this scene.

Especially Chunxi, she didn't expect to see the day when Prince Xie knelt down to admit his mistake. He was so happy that he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his eyes.

Butler Zhao's eyes were indifferent.

In his opinion, the prince is indeed unfilial and the old lady is not in good health, but he still kneels down to force her.

Jiang Ningbao raised his eyebrows, looking calmly at Prince Xie who was kneeling not far away, and said to himself, this male protagonist is decisive, does not quibble, and is impeccable in other aspects, but when it comes to dealing with his ex-fiancée, But treacherous and ungrateful.

It is indeed as Dingguo Gong Xie Heng said.

Unjust.

Jiang Ningbao didn't sympathize with him at all, he just felt happy in his heart.

Now she is a little curious about how the Dingguo Guild will punish Prince Xie. If she remembers correctly, Prince Xie is the commander of the Sixth Grade and Five Cities Military and Horse Division, responsible for the security of the capital.

In this way, the scope of punishment is reduced a lot.

"Fifty rod punishment and three consecutive days of kneeling in the ancestral hall as punishment." Seeing that his adopted son admitted his mistake without any excuses, Xie Heng, Duke of Dingguo, restrained his intimidation and evil aura and said the punishment in a cold tone.

If the adopted son had not held an important position, the punishment would never have been so light.

As soon as this punishment came out, Prince Xie felt relieved and bowed his head respectfully: "My son accepts the punishment!"

Jiang Ningbao still watched the punishment of Duke Dingguo calmly, without even moving his eyebrows. Unfortunately, this was within the scope of Duke Dingguo's mansion. Except for the people brought by the heroine Yang Shuqing, no other officials passed by in carriages.

The male protagonist is very lucky.

However, today is the happy day for Crown Prince Xie to get engaged, but he was sentenced to fifty years with a stick by Duke Xie Heng of Dingguo. The happy day saw blood, which makes me happy just thinking about it.

Jiang Ningbao's eyes looked at the carriage not far away with the curtain raised at a corner, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yang Shuqing should be unable to sit still at this time.

The facts were just as Jiang Ningbao expected. Yang Shuqing in the carriage felt weak all over after the violent aura disappeared. Before she could calm down, she was caught off guard when she heard Ding Guo Gong coldly reprimanding Crown Prince Xie for being unfilial and unjust.

My heart suddenly sank.

Unfilial and unjust... How could her fiancé be charged with such a crime?

Before she could think about it carefully, she heard Duke Dingguo's punishment again. Yang Shuqing's vision turned black and she almost fainted. Today was her wedding day, but her fiancé was going to be punished by fifty canes.

Once word gets out, she doesn’t know how much dirty water will be thrown at her.

Especially on the day when she encouraged the prince to bring her to visit Mrs. Xie specially.

Yang Shuqing felt anxious. Before the two maids could react, she was already so anxious that she opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. She held up the hem of her skirt and ran to Xie Jingyi's side, breathing slightly.

"Your Majesty, this is slander, you cannot accept punishment."

This acceptance of punishment is not an admission of unfilial piety and unrighteousness.

Yang Shuqing couldn't let her fiancé bear this unfounded charge, and she couldn't have the reputation of being a nuisance to her husband. After all, it wasn't a good thing for anyone to have his fiancé see blood just after they got engaged.

When Jiang Ningbao saw Yang Shuqing running from the carriage to Xie Jingyi's side, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This newly married couple, one wore a dark red silver thread woven brocade robe, and the other also wore a dark red embroidered peony. Long skirt.

Those who don’t know the inside story must think that the two of them are connected.

But Jiang Ningbao, who read the plot in the book, knew that it was all Yang Shuqing's idea and Xie Jingyi's cooperation.

Prince Xie did not expect that his fiancée would suddenly run over to stop him. A look of astonishment appeared on his handsome face. He pursed his thin lips and spoke calmly.

"Shu Qing, I did do something wrong and I deserve to be punished."

"I don't believe it. It's unfilial and unjust. This is an unreasonable charge. I only know that you respect your elders and respect your brothers and sisters. How is it that you are unfilial and unjust?"

Yang Shuqing took a deep breath, regained her usual calmness, glanced at the surrounding guards, and said loudly.

Kneeling on the ground, Prince Xie, who was still handsome, closed his eyes and gave a low drink.

"Shu Qing, stop asking!"

Yes, before he fell in love with Shu Qing, he was indeed as respectful to his elders as she said, brothers and sisters, respectful to each other, and a man of great beauty. But since he realized that Shu Qing was a daughter, he has understood his feelings for Shu Qing. Finally, because she said that she did not want to be a concubine, but only wanted to be a couple for the rest of her life.

Therefore, he resolutely broke off the engagement he had made since childhood for her. He was treacherous and ungrateful, which was unjust.

He knelt down for her and forced the old lady to agree to cancel the engagement, which was unfilial.

The adoptive father was right, he was indeed unfilial and unjust.

He just wanted to bear the crime himself, and he didn't want the woman he liked to feel guilty after learning the inside story.

Yang Shuqing's eyes couldn't help but turn red when Prince Xie drank. She bit her lip in grievance, looked at him deeply, and said stubbornly: "Prince, I'm sorry, I just want to seek justice for you."

After saying that, Yang Shuqing turned her gaze to Jiang Ningbao, who was standing beside Duke Dingguo. Naturally, she ignored where Jiang Ningbao was standing. She suppressed the hatred surging in her heart and asked questions word by word.

"Miss Jiang Si, all this is your revenge, right? Prince Xie abandoned you and chose me, so you labeled the crown prince as unfilial and unjust. I would like to ask, what is the prince's fate? Where is the lack of filial piety and unrighteousness?"

As soon as she said these words, the guards behind Prince Xie pricked up their ears.

In fact, they also wanted to know why a fair man like the Duke would say that the prince was unfilial and unjust.

Jiang Ningbao looked at Yang Shuqing who straightened his back and felt confident, and felt funny in his heart. It was not because of her that Prince Xie was unfilial and unjust.

It was really ridiculous to pick on her, a soft persimmon, for questioning at this time. Jiang Ningbao raised her hand and brushed the hair beside her ears, looked sideways at Dingguo Gong Xie Heng's handsome side face, and chuckled.

"Miss Yang, why is the prince so unfilial? Why don't you ask the Duke, what do you mean by questioning me like this?"

"My lord, do you think so?"

Jiang Ningbao's voice is delicate, soft, melodious and sweet, like the spring breeze blowing on the face, and it is quite comfortable to hear it.

Is this Yang Shuqing too confident, or is her rebirth too smooth? She has a strong sense of superiority and cannot bear the slightest grievance. Once she is wronged by anyone, she will repay it a hundredfold.

Prince Xie is a smart man and wants to accept his punishment and protect Yang Shuqing.

But Yang Shuqing refused to give up and pointed the finger at her. Maybe he thought that she liked Prince Xie and deliberately framed Prince Xie in front of Duke Ding, so she was so strong-willed.

What a pig teammate.

“It is unfilial to kneel down and force elders to withdraw from an engagement.”

Dingguo Duke Xie Hengjian frowned, and his voice was cold and stern, with unquestionable majesty. This was the first time he saw a woman whose adopted son was happy. At first glance, this woman could not bear the slightest grievance.

No wonder the adopted son, who has always been calm and thoughtful, would kneel down and force his mother to agree to cancel the engagement. It turns out that the root cause lies with this woman.

Ding Guogong Xie Heng's aura suddenly condensed, and everyone instantly felt a strong sense of oppression coming, which disappeared again in an instant.

Yang Shuqing's heart trembled and her face turned pale.

She suddenly remembered that the prince's servant had said that the prince had knelt outside the old lady's yard all day and night in order to get the old lady to agree to break off the engagement. When she learned about it at that time, she was moved and happy.

Now that I think about it, it is indeed unfilial to force elders.

It turns out that the real culprit is her.

Yang Shuqing was sweating, biting her lower lip, and was speechless for a moment. What Ding Guogong said was the truth. She couldn't force her words to make excuses, it would only ruin her reputation.

"Miss Yang, Prince Xie knelt down to force his elders because of your unwillingness to become a concubine. He has a deep affection for Miss Yang. Now Miss Yang has got her wish, congratulations!"

Jiang Ningbao looked at Yang Shuqing's sudden change of expression with a smile, and spoke in a soft tone. His voice was as crisp as pearls falling on a jade plate. Everyone could hear the irony in the words "I don't want to be a concubine" and "congratulations". .

The people present looked at Yang Shuqing with a strange look in their eyes, and at the same time they felt a little disappointed with Prince Xie who was following him.

"Shu Qing, don't say any more, I am willing to accept the punishment."

Fifty cane punishment and kneeling in the ancestral hall for three consecutive days are the lightest punishments.

Prince Xie frowned and pursed his thin lips into a thin line. He didn't want his fiancée to continue, so he spoke out to stop her again, this time his voice was a little more stern.

Yang Shuqing was hurt by the prince's harsh tone. They had known her for more than two years, and he had never spoken to her so harshly before. Yang Shuqing suddenly felt cold in her heart.

She stood up for the prince, but the prince didn't appreciate it.

Yang Shuqing took a deep breath, but thinking that she had made the prince bear the charge of unfilial piety, she couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion and guilt in her heart. The grievance disappeared, and a cold light flashed in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Ningbao.

"My lord, may I ask if your statement that the prince is unjust has something to do with Miss Jiang Si's annulment?"

Yang Shuqing straightened her back, like a cold plum standing proudly in the wind and snow, and fearlessly faced Duke Dingguo's evil eyes.

Dingguo Gong Xie Heng looked at his adopted son's fiancée indifferently, frowned, and did not deny it.

"Yes."

Yang Shuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a sharp light flashed between her eyebrows. She didn't expect that it was really related to Jiang Ningbao. She sneered in her heart and cast her eyes on Jiang Ningbao.

This time, she finally realized something was wrong.

Jiang Ningbao, a delicate and frail woman, stood beside Duke Ding with ease. Yang Shuqing's eyes changed slightly, and a bad feeling surged in her heart.

"Master Guo, leave it to me to explain this matter." Jiang Ningbao's eyes flashed and he spoke in a gentle tone.

Dingguo Gong looked at her for a moment and said quietly: "Okay."

Jiang Ningbao chuckled lightly, her brows full of beauty. She glanced at Prince Xie's handsome face that suddenly changed color, and then looked at the heroine Yang Shuqing. The corners of her lips slowly rose, and her smile became more charming and charming.

"Miss Yang wants to know why it is unjust for the prince to withdraw from the engagement. I will tell you the reason now."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present pricked up their ears to listen.

Only Xie Jingyi took a deep look at his ex-fiancée. He found that every time he saw her, he would be amazed, as if the beauty had been washed away, her grace was outstanding and dazzling.

On this day, he and Shu Qing got engaged, and she also stood with her tall and handsome adoptive father, giving him the feeling of a beauty matching a hero.

Xie Jingyi lowered his eyes.

He suddenly realized that he couldn't understand his ex-fiancée. Did she really want to marry his adoptive father, or was she unwilling to do so and just wanted to marry him to the Dingguo Duke's mansion to take revenge on him?

"Miss Jiang Si, please speak." Yang Shuqing suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and looked at her coldly.

"Miss Yang, I am here today to talk about the ins and outs of my engagement with Prince Xie, and let everyone comment on it." Jiang Ningbao spoke unhurriedly, his eyes scanning everyone present, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

With Duke Dingguo testifying, Xie Jingyi did not dare to deny it.

She, Jiang Ningbao, is not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated at will.

Yang Shuqing gave her such a good opportunity, and of course Jiang Ningbao would not miss it.

"When I was three years old, my mother saved the second wife of the Xie family and the six-year-old Prince Xie who were robbers on the way back from offering incense in the temple. The second wife Xie was grateful to my mother for saving her life. When he proposed to get married, my mother saw that Prince Xie was smart, so she agreed to the marriage, exchanged invitations, and wrote and notarized the marriage certificate."

Jiang Ningbaoyan revealed the inside story of the marriage in a concise and comprehensive manner.

Her tone was very calm, without the slightest fluctuation, as if she was talking about someone else's business, but it touched the heartstrings of everyone present. They did not expect that the marriage between the Crown Prince and Miss Jiang Si would have such an inside story.

Ding Guogong did not wrongly accuse the prince, and the prince who had always been a glorious man was indeed unfilial and unjust.

It was the Xie family who proposed the marriage, and it was also the Xie family who canceled the marriage.

Miss Jiang Si is so innocent.

"Miss Jiang Si, this is just your one-sided statement. Who knows whether it is true or false?" Yang Shuqing's palms were sweating, her face was as sinking as water, and she smiled coldly.

Jiang Ningbao smiled, she was worthy of being the heroine of a story about rebirth and revenge. Her inner qualities were really strong. She turned her eyes to the hero Xie Jingyi and said calmly: "Is it true or not? Why don't Miss Yang ask Prince Xie?"

"Everything Miss Jiang Si said is true."

A low and cold voice sounded. Xie Jingyi knew that his reputation would plummet with this admission, but the fact was the fact and he could not be allowed to confuse right and wrong.

The color on Yang Shuqing's face finally disappeared, and her Qingli face was full of shock and disbelief. It was obviously difficult to accept the result, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

"No, I don't believe it."

Yang Shuqing finally realized at this time that she had fallen into Jiang Ningbao's design.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Her fiancé's reputation, her reputation, were ruined because of her, everything was ruined.

Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly and said in a very soft tone: "Miss Yang, Prince Xie has to bear the charge of unfilial piety and unrighteousness for you. This friendship is really enviable and touching."

"Ms. Yang, I believe you will not let down Prince Xie's affection. After all, you once told me that Prince Xie is among the best among men, and there are countless noble ladies who admire him, and you are no exception. ."

"Now, Ms. Yang has got her wish, and I am here to wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Jiang Ningbao always had a smile on her face and was not sad at all. She sincerely wished them well. This kind of demeanor made people look up to her.

Xie Heng, the Duke of Dingguo next to him, glanced at the little girl, and the cold lines on his face softened a bit.

The little girl is atmospheric.

Little did he know that Jiang Ningbao secretly regretted not being able to expose the fact that Yang Shuqing and Xie Jingyi had been secretly dating for more than two years, otherwise Yang Shuqing would bite him back, and it wouldn't be too late to expose it again if there was a chance in the future. You can't become fat if you eat it all at once. Today The revelations were enough to make Xie Jingyi's good reputation plummet.

As Xie Jingyi’s fiancée, Yang Shuqing was not in a good place either.

In ancient patriarchal societies, people were accustomed to placing most of the blame on women, but as the heroine, Yang Shuqing was not innocent, and everything happened because of her.

Her rebirth has changed the fate of many people.

Jiang Ningbao felt quite happy inside, and his dark eyes flashed with dazzling brilliance.

Yang Shuqing's face was earth-colored, and her spine felt chilly. She glanced at Jiang Ningbao, who was not far away with a gentle smile on her face. The sun was shining brightly, but she felt cold and shuddered all over.
