www.lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Marrying the Hero’s Dad!
With the imperial edict of marriage, Jiang Ningbao's heart was finally settled. After Eunuch Zhao left, everyone in the Changning Mansion happily surrounded Jiang Ningbao, except for his cousin Jiang Zhuo who was absent-minded.
He did not expect that in just a blink of an eye, the fourth sister would be granted marriage by the Holy Spirit.
What should I do with cousin Zhan?
Jiang Zhuo thought of Cousin Zhan who was crying out in pain on the bed. He looked at Jiang Ningbao with a strange look, especially when she whipped Cousin Zhan away.
Jiang Zhuo still can’t believe it, and his mind is in a daze.
It’s terrible that such a weak person as Fourth Sister can have such great power. I don’t think I have offended her, right?
Jiang Zhuo thought a little uneasily.
Jiang Ningbao had a sweet smile, and the corners of his eyebrows were filled with joy. Now that everyone in the Changning House knew that Jiang Ningbao could easily approach Duke Ding, they were all shocked.
She inadvertently glanced at the expression of her cousin Jiang Zhuo, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
She seems to have frightened this cousin.
After Mrs. Jiang, who was supported by Hongxing, weighed the pros and cons, her face was full of smiles. She knocked the crutch in her hand hard, glanced at everyone, and said with a slight excitement in her voice: "Four girls are like this Great fortune is the blessing of Changning House."
Bo Chang Ning twirled his short beard, nodded repeatedly, and smiled kindly.
"My mother is right, the fourth girl is a man of great fortune. Duke Dingguo is young, handsome, and holds a high position. This is a once-in-a-lifetime match. I never thought that the fourth girl would be the most promising girl in our uncle's house."
He glanced at the slim and cold-tempered legitimate daughter not far away, and a flash of regret flashed in his heart. Obviously his little daughter was no worse than his niece, but such a good thing could not happen to Yao'er.
Although the Xie family and the Duke of Dingguo are from the same family, it is a pity that the Xie family is not as good as the hereditary Duke of Dingguo.
If Mrs. Zhang had not rushed to make a marriage arrangement with the second wife of the Xie family, and took advantage of the Holy Spirit to grant marriage to the fourth girl, Yao'er would have had a better marriage, and perhaps it would not be impossible to marry into a duke's family.
Bo Chang Ning thought greedily, and he couldn't help but blame Zhang for being too eager.
"Congratulations to the fourth sister!" Jiang Mingyao looked at the overjoyed fourth sister with a complicated expression. She stepped forward slowly and congratulated her coldly and distantly. The grandmother beside her nervously protected the fifth girl and stared at her with a wary expression. Ginger Ning Bao.
Jiang Ningbao sighed inwardly, but smiled faintly at her with the same distant tone: "Thank you, Fifth Sister."
Jiang Mingyao pursed her lips, turned and left surrounded by her servants.
"Congratulations to Fourth Sister." First cousin Jiang Zhuo forced out a smile, and second cousin Jiang Yue also smiled and congratulated her.
Jiang Ningbao accepted everyone’s congratulations with a smile.
Waiting for everyone to leave, Jiang Ningbao walked slowly towards her yard. Chunxi followed beside her with an excited face. The imperial decree granted marriage, which was a good thing that noble ladies could only dream of.
Now Chang Ningbo Mansion will see who dares to look down on the girl.
"Girl, the second master and the second lady will be very happy to know that the girl's life-long event has been settled." Chunxi's voice was very excited.
Jiang Ningbao paused slightly, looked at the blue sky, pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes, my parents will definitely be happy for me."
Chunxi still doesn’t know that her parents are still alive. When her parents show up, Chunxi will definitely be shocked, as will her eldest brother Jiang Jin. Jiang Ningbao has thought about whether to tell her eldest brother that her parents are still alive.
When I thought about it later, I felt it was wrong.
How could she, a harem girl, know that her parents were alive? She said that she had a prophetic dream. I guess her eldest brother would not believe it and thought that she missed her parents too much.
This secret can only be kept in my heart.
"And Mr. Zhang, he will definitely not dare to approach girls again in the future." Chunxi continued to say with an excited expression.
Jiang Ningbao nodded in agreement: "Yes, what a pity, I haven't even tried to teach him a lesson yet."
Zhang Zhan is a hypocrite in the book. In order to climb up, he will do whatever it takes, but this person also has another advantage, that is, he can assess the situation.
In the book, he will destroy the innocence of "Jiang Ningbao" under Zhang's instigation, and it is also because "Jiang Ningbao"'s reputation has been ruined and he has only a disabled brother to rely on.
Isolated.
Now that she has been given a marriage by the Holy Spirit to Duke Ding, it is the time when she is most beautiful and attracts the most attention.
Zhang Zhan is afraid that he will change his target. Jiang Ningbao is quite sorry. Some people may think that in the plot of the book, he ruined 'Jiang Ningbao's' innocence, so he must take revenge severely.
If you don’t retaliate, you will be sorry for the ‘Jiang Ningbao’ in the book.
It is possible to nip problems in the bud, but Jiang Ningbao is not a violent person. Even though she has struggled for more than ten years in the apocalypse, she always retains a trace of bottom line and clarity in her heart.
Now Zhang Zhan has just made a move on her, so just give her a small lesson.
However, Zhang Zhan, who uses his marriage as a bargaining chip and is ambitious to climb up, will one day kick the iron plate.
Back in the courtyard, Baimei's four maids were much more respectful and flattering than before.
Jiang Ningbao just glanced at them indifferently, but this glance made the four of Baimei sweat and regret in their hearts. If they had known that the fourth girl would have such a great fortune, it would have been better for them to take refuge in the fourth girl.
Now the fourth girl has a transcendent status in Changning Bo Mansion.
Bai Mei and the others cast an envious glance at Chun Xi, the confidant and maid next to the fourth girl, and were secretly jealous. This Chun Xi was really unlucky.
The most obvious change is that the lunch includes five main dishes, four side dishes, and a small pot of very delicious old duck soup, which fills the entire dining table.
The food is fragrant and mouth-watering.
Jiang Ningbao ate his lunch calmly. This meal was just a return to the standard when his parents were still alive. Even Chunxi was not surprised.
While she was having lunch, Zhang Zhan, who was in pain all over his body, was just as Jiang Ningbao expected. After learning that Miss Jiang Si was betrothed to Duke Ding, he was first shocked and then terrified. Even if he was unwilling to do so, he would The original plan can only be shelved.
As for his aunt's plan to "destroy innocence" and force Miss Jiang Si to marry him, Zhang Zhan, who always likes to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, decided to forget about it.
He is still young and has a bright future. Why should he cut off his future for Miss Jiang Si? No matter how beautiful Miss Jiang Si is and how generous her dowry is, the future of Dongping Bo Mansion is tied to him. He cannot put Dong Ping Bo Mansion in danger. .
Zhang Zhan no longer cares whether his aunt will be angry or not. Dongping's residence is more important than his aunt's married daughter.
……
The news that the fourth lady of the Jiang family was given to Duke Dingguo by the Holy Spirit spread throughout the capital as if it had wings, especially the official residences of the great noble families, who were shocked.
Miss Jiang Si of the Changning House was transformed from a woman who was renounced and pitied by others, and became the fiancée of Ding Guogong with a decree of marriage, putting pressure on her former fiancé in one fell swoop.
The whole capital was shocked.
On this day, hundreds of ladies in the capital envied and envied Jiang Ningbao. They also congratulated sincerely in their hearts.
Miss Jiang Si is the only woman who can get close to Duke Ding. Who else can marry Duke Ding besides her?
This is envy and jealousy.
The women who had once been in love with Duke Ding had already married to other people. When they heard the news, they couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in their hearts, but they were more relieved and silently offered their blessings.
Because they are not the lucky ones.
The people in the capital rejoiced that the war **** of the Dai Viet Dynasty finally had a wife. They were very happy and congratulated. They thanked God and the wise and powerful saint for not letting Lord Dinh Guo die alone.
Although some old-fashioned scholars would criticize a few words that were inconsistent with etiquette, no one paid attention to them. No one could shake Dinh Guogong's status in the Dai Viet Dynasty.
The whole capital was filled with joy.
In this joyful atmosphere, Mrs. Zhang, who had just arrived at the temple not long after she learned the 'bad' news, could not hold her breath and even fainted from the excitement, frightening the accompanying Mother Yang. et al.
Yang Shuqing from the Anyuan Hou Mansion was not happy at all.
There was a "pop" sound.
Yang Shuqing slammed the tea cup in her hand to the ground, her beautiful eyes burning with jealousy, full of terrifying anger and unwillingness.
The moment she saw Jiang Ningbao standing next to Ding Guogong, and then learned that Mrs. Xie had verbally agreed on the marriage, Yang Shuqing was mentally prepared.
In order to ruin this unpleasant marriage, Yang Shuqing already had a plan, but before she could take action, the Holy Spirit granted her a marriage...a marriage...
I thought that not only would I be inferior to Jiang Ningbao in the future, but also that after getting married, I would have to greet her every day and make things difficult for her. If Jiang Ningbao gave birth to a son and a half, Jing Yi would lose his position as heir apparent. No matter what, the title of Duke Dingguo could not fall on Jing Yi.
Yang Shuqing felt like the world was spinning, her future was bleak, she was short of breath, and a mouthful of old blood was stuck in her throat.
Marrying Xie Jingyi is worse than being a royal concubine.
She was reborn and her life was even worse than the previous one. What was she trying to do?
Thinking that the enemies in the house were secretly watching her joke, Yang Shuqing's eyes turned red, and she went crazy and threw the porcelain in the house to the floor, and finally even the chair, frightening her confidant maid Qian. Rong Clinique was so angry that she didn't dare to take a breath.
The huge house was in a mess, with debris and water stains all over the floor.
After venting like this, the jealousy and anger in Yang Shuqing's heart still haven't been relieved in the slightest. On the contrary, it is getting hotter and fiercer. There is a heart-stopping resentment and cold light in his eyes, and he wants to tear Jiang Ningbao into pieces.
Outside the door, Marquis Anyuan stood at the door with a gloomy face. The woman guarding the door stood aside tremblingly, crying secretly in her heart and praying for the eldest lady to calm down.
After a moment, Marquis Anyuan suddenly opened the door and strode in. He glanced at the debris on the ground, looked at the crazy and scarlet eyes of his eldest daughter, and shouted angrily.
"Qing'er, that's enough, look at what you look like now."
After Yang Shuqing saw his father come in, his whole body froze, and he suddenly woke up. The madness on his pretty face faded a little, and he looked at his angry father, his eyes were red, and he shouted in a sad and angry tone.
"Dad, I am not willing to accept it. How can my dignified eldest daughter of the Anyuan Marquis Mansion be overshadowed by a girl from a junior uncle's manor? Especially when she was annulled by Jing Yi and will not be married to her for a long time." She still has to set the rules in Duke Ding's Mansion. When she gives birth to Duke Ding's heir, there will be no place for me and Jing Yi to stand in Duke Ding's Mansion. Dad, I... I can't swallow this breath."
Marquis Anyuan did not expect that Duke Dingguo would suddenly get married, nor did he expect that Miss Jiang Si, who had never been in his eyes, could get close to Duke Dingguo.
But when his eldest daughter mentioned the issue of heirs, Marquis Anyuan suddenly laughed.
"Qing'er, don't worry, Miss Jiang Si cannot give birth to an heir of Duke Dingguo. In the future, the title of Duke Dingguo will be inherited by Prince Xie."
Yang Shuqing was stunned, looked at Anyuanhou in confusion, and asked anxiously: "Dad, what do you mean by this?"
“Not many people know about this, but my father is one of the insiders. When Duke Dingguo first went to the battlefield, he was accidentally hit by a poisonous arrow from the enemy general. In the end, he saved his life, but it was harmful to his heirs, so even if If Duke Dingguo gets married, the chance of him having an heir is very small. From now on, Duke Dingguo’s mansion will still belong to you and Prince Xie.”
Anyuan Hou smiled and gave his eldest daughter a piece of reassurance.
Yang Shuqing was shocked that there was such a secret. Originally, she thought that if she could not prevent Jiang Ningbao from marrying Ding Guogong, she would secretly use means to prevent Jiang Ningbao from getting pregnant after she got married. As long as she survived for two years, she would definitely be pregnant. With the Duke gone, she slowly took care of Jiang Ningbao, but she didn't expect that Duke Ding's own heirs would be in trouble.
God helps me.
Yang Shuqing felt extremely happy, and a gloating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. The suffocation in her chest was instantly swept away, and she suddenly felt refreshed.
The two maids who bowed their heads on the side did not expect to hear such secrets, and tried their best to reduce their presence.
"Qing'er, you have to stay calm now and don't act impulsively." Marquis Anyuan warned worriedly.
Yang Shuqing nodded calmly, confidence returned to her face, and she smiled slightly: "Dad, my daughter understands that small impatience can lead to big plans. I will be cautious and will not fall into the trap of others."
The probability is very small, but it doesn’t mean there is no chance.
Yang Shuqing still felt uneasy, but this was much easier than preventing Jiang Ningbao from getting pregnant.
Anyuanhou then left with peace of mind.
……
On the day of the imperial decree, it is appropriate to marry and betrothed.
In the afternoon, Duke Dingguo personally came to the door with his personal guards in black to deliver the betrothal gift.
A full one hundred and eight lifts.
The long procession of Xiapin, from Dingguo Gongfu to Changning Bofu, attracted people from all over the capital to stop and watch.
"Good guys, such a magnificent team of subordinates can only be matched by the royal concubine."
"You have forgotten that Miss Jiang Si may be the only woman in Duke Ding's life. Mrs. Xie must attach great importance to her, and the wedding scene in the future will definitely be more grand."
"Does anyone know the wedding date? I can look forward to their wedding."
"We look forward to it together. When Miss Jiang Si was divorced by Prince Xie, who would have thought that she would have such a good fortune. This is a marriage granted by the Holy God. Miss Jiang Si is really blessed."
"Blessed indeed."
"Now Prince Xie is really going to call his ex-fiancée his mother. I'm really happy to hear it."
"Haha, I wonder what Prince Xie feels?"
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter as they watched a good show.
The teams of Xiapin arrived at Uncle Changning's Mansion one after another, and Duke Dingguo Xie Heng personally led the team to the door. This not only frightened Uncle Changning, but also alarmed Mrs. Jiang.
I originally thought that I would wait until the wedding date was completely set before going to the door to make the betrothal. Unexpectedly, I received the wedding edict at noon and the betrothal gift was delivered to my door in the afternoon. This was a bit too fast.
Mrs. Jiang was getting old, and Duke Dingguo was full of evil spirits, so he refrained from going out. He only sent a few wives and servants to run errands for her to report the situation at that time, but all the men in the Changning House were present. We all went to the gate to greet him.
After receiving the news, Jiang Ningbao secretly rushed to a secret corner at the gate of Changning Bo Mansion. She immediately saw Xie Heng, the most eye-catching Duke of Dingguo in the recruitment team. Her eyes suddenly lit up and the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously. rise.
Today, Duke Dingguo Xie Heng is dressed in a silver-red brocade robe, with lightly tied black hair. His facial features are cold and hard, his body is tall and straight, and his bones are strong. He looks taller and more handsome than usual, with a fierce aura, especially that No one dared to look into his eyes filled with evil energy.
Ding Guogong on horseback turned over and dismounted, and walked towards him with a steady pace. The aura around him was instantly cold. Before he could get closer, the cold and compelling aura hit his face.
Bo Chang Ning and others who were greeted at the door couldn't help but take a step back.
A black-clad bodyguard personally handed over the thick gift list.
Bo Chang Ning Bo Jiang Dongming and his two legitimate sons came out to greet him. They took the gift list with sincerity and invited Duke Dingguo Xie Heng into the house, not daring to get too close to him.
"Please come in, Mr. Guo!"
"Yeah."
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng nodded expressionlessly and stepped into Changning Bo's Mansion. The guards in black followed neatly and solemnly. Changning Bo Jiang Dongming had cold sweat on his forehead and quickly asked his servants to lead the guards in black. Wei carried all the betrothal gifts to Jiang Ningbao's yard.
My heart is bleeding.
Especially after seeing the gift list, my eyes turned red with envy.
Dozens of fine silk brocades, boxes of gold, silver and jade, exquisite porcelain and pearls, as well as fine medicinal materials, rouge and gouache, etc.
Everyone in Uncle Changning's house was stunned by the boxes of betrothal gifts.
Chunxi was very excited.
"Girl, Duke Dingguo attaches great importance to you. Before, Prince Xie went to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion to propose marriage and betrothed, but he was not as dignified as you."
Jiang Ningbao glanced at Chunxi and smiled charmingly: "I have the best vision, but when the man makes the appointment, the woman cannot be present."
After saying that, Jiang Ningbao's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of regret.
"Girl, should I call Duke Dingguo my uncle from now on?" Chunxi suddenly remembered the issue of address and asked happily.
A smile appeared in Jiang Ningbao's eyes, and she agreed: "It's really time to change your name to uncle." After saying that, she stared with burning eyes at Duke Ding, who was striding forward not far away, exuding a cold and forbidding aura. The corners of the mouth curve upward.
Suddenly, Xie Heng, the Duke of Dingguo, who was dressed in a silver-red brocade robe, seemed to notice something. He turned his head suddenly and cast his sharp and cold eyes on her little corner.
What came into view was a familiar and beautiful face.
It turned out that the little girl was peeking at him. When the little girl saw that he had discovered her presence, she winked at him and showed a playful smile.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng paused in his steps, and his evil-filled eyes softened unconsciously. He turned back and continued walking towards the courtyard, but his mind was thinking that the little girl was quite lively.
It wasn't until Duke Dingguo's back was gone that Jiang Ningbao reluctantly looked away. Chunxi beside her lowered her voice excitedly: "Girl, I just counted, one hundred and eight betrothal gifts, a total of one hundred and eight Betrothal gift."
"The highest imperial offer is one hundred and twenty-eight. Who doesn't envy the girl for her good fortune." Chunxi exulted, her voice still excited, and she looked proud.
The girl had been divorced before, and she had always behaved very calmly. She even said that she would marry Duke Ding. Chunxi was extremely worried, but now Chunxi felt that the girl had foresight.
"Okay, now that we've finished reading, let's go back. The yard is probably full of betrothal gifts."
Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly, his soft voice filled with joy.
Back in the yard, a group of black-clothed guards exuding a murderous aura and servants from Chang Ningbo Mansion were in her yard. Bai Mei and the other four were counting the lists carefully.
As soon as Jiang Ningbao arrived in the courtyard, the guards in black all saluted her respectfully.
"I met Miss Jiang Si."
"This is the list of betrothal gifts, made in four copies. Please accept this copy, Miss Jiang Si." A guard in black took out a list and handed it over.
Jiang Ningbao nodded with a smile, and her voice was clear and sweet: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone." After saying that, she took the list from the leader of the black-clad guards, handed it to Chunxi, and motioned for her to put it away.
The faces of Baimei and the others changed slightly. They really didn't expect Ding Guogong to be so careful. It seemed that they could not complete the task that uncle secretly told them to withhold part of the betrothal gift.
With just one glance, Jiang Ningbao understood what the four maids were thinking, and sneered in her heart. The uncle was so good that he even dared to covet the betrothal gift given by Duke Dingguo.
After the betrothal gifts were counted and put into the treasury, the relatives in black left, and calm returned to the yard.
Jiang Ningbao picked up the tea cup and took a sip, looking down at the four Baimei people below without saying a word. The huge main room was extremely quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.
The depressing atmosphere made Baimei and the other two people afraid to take a breath, and the clothes on their backs were quietly wet with sweat.
After a long while, Jiang Ningbao said a word lightly.
"You guys pack up your belongings later and go back to the main courtyard. I don't need a maid who eats everything here."
"Yes, girl."
As soon as these words came out, Baimei and the other two people were immediately disheartened and left with their heads down.
Chunxi looked happy, she could finally drive away Baimei and the others. It was tiring to guard against them every day.
"Girl, do we want to bring people into the house from outside? What if the old lady doesn't agree?"
"Grandma will agree." Jiang Ningbao's eyes were sparkling. With her status as Ding Guogong's fiancée, Mrs. Jiang, who put interests first, would definitely not refute her small request.
She used to be Xie Jingyi's fiancée. Mrs. Jiang only looked at her with a high regard and treated her no differently, not even as good as the first-born children of the eldest family.
Just because Xie Jingyi was a prince in name only, he was not recognized by the Holy One.
Who knows if there will be variables here.
Ding Guo Gong and Xie Jingyi are not on the same level. The only owner of Ding Guo Gong's mansion is Ding Guo Gong. He has great military exploits, high authority and aloof status.
Chunxi obviously thought of this too, with a smile on his face.
As Jiang Ningbao said, Mrs. Jiang immediately agreed to her request. Now the entire courtyard was hers, and Chunxi finally felt much more at ease.
At the same time, someone came and told the fourth girl that the wedding was scheduled for the first day of May.
There is still more than a month left before the wedding.
The time is neither long nor short, just enough time to prepare for the wedding.
As soon as the imperial edict of marriage was issued, Duke Dingguo came to betrothal in person, carrying a total of 108 betrothal gifts, turning Jiang Ningbao into a popular figure in gossip again.
Yang Shuqing, who had originally calmed down, suddenly became red-eyed when he heard the 'bad news'. Didn't feel any pain.
She was so wronged, so unwilling to accept it. She had to live her life again, and everything was different from the previous life. In this life, she had everything going smoothly, everyone praised her, and she dealt with many enemies from her previous life.
Even Xie Jingyi, a powerful and doting man in her previous life, became her fiancé, but why does she still feel that she cannot compare to Jiang Ningbao...
Jiang Ningbao, who was missed by Yang Shuqing, was nestled in the room, leaning on the desk, her beautiful eyes staring at the letter paper spread out on the table, biting the penholder, and her brows were full of tangles.
How should I write this love letter to capture the heart of the Duke?
Jiang Ningbao, who had never been in love, was worried to death.
