Little fish loves to eat cats. On the tenth day of March, the weather was not good. A thick layer of black clouds gathered over the capital, as if a violent storm was brewing.
Butler Zhao is preparing to visit Chang Ningbo Mansion again, bringing a cart full of apology gifts and swaggering through the city, attracting many well-informed people to watch.
"Looking at this battle, I can't understand whether Crown Prince Xie comes to propose marriage or officially cancels the engagement."
"It should be that the engagement was cancelled. Didn't you see that only Butler Zhao came forward?"
"In the past, I admired Prince Xie and thought that Prince Xie was a role model for our generation. Now, I feel that I was blind at the time. No matter what, a man should not harm the reputation of his innocent fiancée for another woman. ”
"I thought that because the rumors were too big, Crown Prince Xie would find out in his conscience and would not cancel the engagement. It seems that I thought too much, poor Miss Jiang Si."
"Between the unknown fiancée and the outstanding-looking and talented Miss Yang, who is also responsible, Prince Xie chose Miss Yang. I am a man, and I can understand Prince Xie's choice."
I don’t know if Xie Jingyi and Yang Shuqing secretly carried out a wave of whitewashing, or if Yang Shuqing has the halo of being the heroine, no one will spread the rumor that Prince Xie and Miss Yang plotted against Miss Jiang Si.
"In fact, Crown Prince Xie can imitate Ehuang Nvying, so why harm Miss Jiang Si's reputation? Miss Jiang Si is so innocent."
"Are you kidding? Doesn't anyone think that Miss Jiang Fourth is ugly and Miss Yang is unparalleled in charm, so why would Prince Xie choose Miss Yang over Miss Jiang Fourth?"
"Prince Xie is not such a superficial person."
"Speaking of which, if Miss Jiang Si is really as ugly and shameless as the rumors say, she really can't be the princess's wife of Duke Ding's palace. It would be better to be the eldest lady of Duke Duke's palace and get married in the future. No one dares to be disrespectful."
"Yes, yes, I feel the same way."
Under the guidance of thoughtful people, the topic began to portray Jiang Ningbao as an ugly and shameless woman. However, Jiang Ningbao was too mysterious. Except for the people in the Changning House, no one had ever seen her true appearance.
There was a lot of discussion outside, but after receiving the news, Chang Ning's Mansion was ready to prepare.
A group of people gathered in the main hall. There were dark clouds outside and the atmosphere inside was tense and solemn.
Mrs. Jiang is sitting in the high hall, her hair meticulously combed back into a bun. She looks very good, especially her sharp eyes.
Uncle Chang Ning happened to be taking a bath today, and he and his eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, were sitting under the old lady. There were also ladies from other concubines who had gone out of the branch house and came to watch the fun on the pretext of paying their respects to the old lady Jiang.
The only strange thing is that Jiang Mingyao is missing.
Jiang Ningbao then thought about it, except for her as the client, it was really hard for other girls and young men to show up on such an occasion that would bring the Ningbo Mansion’s face down.
It is rare to see Jiang Ningbao, the fourth daughter of the uncle's house, and the concubine's wife secretly glanced at Jiang Ningbao, who was standing next to Zhang, who was calm and composed, and whispered to each other in a low voice.
"It turns out that the fourth girl in the second room is so beautiful."
"It's so beautiful. She's so soft and weak. It's no wonder Prince Xie wants to break off the engagement. The fourth girl doesn't look like a real wife, like a concubine."
"It's really disgusting. When I see her face, I think of those foxy girls in the backyard. I can finally understand Prince Xie's choice. It's shameful for such a woman to be a head wife!"
"Actually, it's not as unbearable as you said. The appearance is natural. I don't think the fourth girl's eyes are pure. Maybe she is not as you see."
"Hey, you are the only one who knows how to be a good person."
These words floated into Jiang Ningbao's ears. She gently touched the sapphire auspicious cloud pattern bracelet on her wrist, and her beautiful eyes seemed to flash with light.
Her fragile and beautiful appearance really makes women jealous and disgusted.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a woman hurriedly came in to report.
"Old Madam, Butler Zhao from Duke Dingguo's Mansion has arrived."
Mrs. Jiang was refreshed and a light flashed in her eyes: "Invite them into the house."
Bo Chang Ning and Mrs. Zhang unconsciously sat upright.
The concubine’s wife stopped talking, with a look of watching a good show in her eyes. From time to time, their eyes drifted towards Jiang Ningbao, who looked weak and slender with a slight frown on her brows, feeling pity and gloating about his misfortune.
Jiang Ningbao took in the behavior of everyone in the hall, especially the concubine's wife who came to watch the excitement. The corners of her lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and she smiled silently.
Housekeeper Zhao led a group of guards to bring boxes of apology gifts into the hall, and then bowed his hands respectfully to Mrs. Jiang and Uncle Chang Ning.
"Zhao has met the old lady, uncle and ladies."
"The purpose of Zhao's visit today must be well known to everyone present, which is to return the marriage certificate and the invitation card on behalf of the Crown Prince, and officially terminate the engagement with Miss Jiang Si. Except for the two compensation conditions mentioned before, the Crown Prince will remain unchanged. Other compensations were also given."
As soon as Butler Zhao arrived, he went straight to the point just like last time. After speaking, he signaled to the guards, and the guards he brought immediately opened all the boxes.
The finest silks and satins, shiny gold and silver jewelry, precious celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and two large boxes of yellow gold were displayed in front of everyone one by one.
The hall was filled with jewels and jewels that almost blinded everyone.
The concubine’s wife wrung the handkerchief in her hands and stared at the contents in the boxes. Her breathing was rapid and heavy, and her eyes were almost green.
The eldest lady Zhang’s heart was beating so fast that she almost jumped with excitement.
Hers, these are all hers!
Zhang shouted silently in her heart.
Bo Chang Ning looked calm, but his eyes were slightly widened, and the hand holding the teacup revealed his excitement and excitement, and he was probably bursting with joy.
Only Mrs. Jiang was very dissatisfied.
In Mrs. Jiang's opinion, this material compensation is actually missing more than a little bit, but it is difficult to say it out loud, lest she end up with the image of being greedy and selling her granddaughter off.
So Mrs. Jiang could only hold back, glanced at her son, daughter-in-law and those shallow-sighted **** wives, and cursed secretly, she was really worthless.
Butler Zhao looked at the reactions of everyone in the Changning House with a smile. He paid special attention to Miss Jiang Si and found that her expression was clear and her extremely beautiful eyes did not waver at all.
Nodding silently in his heart, Miss Jiang Si did not disappoint him.
"Butler Zhao, are these all compensations for me?" Jiang Ningbao raised the corners of her mouth, and her soft voice sounded, like a thunder on the ground, waking up everyone present.
Everyone stared at Jiang Ningbao.
The eldest lady, Mrs. Zhang, snorted coldly. She thought it was a good idea to give her some compensation. Once she officially canceled the marriage, she would send someone to move the compensation to the warehouse.
Butler Zhao smiled slightly and nodded simply: "That's right, it's all compensation for Miss Jiang Si."
Mrs. Jiang glanced at Mr. Zhang's unhappy face and twitched her face. This Mr. Zhang who was seeking death was really short-sighted. She glared at these incompetent guys who were dazzled by gold and shouted sternly.
"I'm going to say something ugly first. These are the compensations given by the Duke's government to the four girls. You are not allowed to have any thoughts, otherwise the family rules will be dealt with, do you hear me?"
Ms. Zhang was stunned for a moment, twisting the handkerchief in her hand. Her eyes were filled with shock and unwillingness. What did the old lady mean by this?
Bo Chang Ning's face couldn't help but darken, but he regained his composure. He secretly complained that his mother wanted to lose face, but she was just a niece who had lost her parents, so why bother doing so much to save face.
In his heart, he was sure that these compensations would be pocketed by him.
As soon as the wives of the concubines heard what the old lady said, they suppressed the greed and jealousy in their hearts and calmed down. No matter how much compensation the Duke of Dingguo offered, it would not be their turn.
If these really fall into the hands of the fourth lady, they can also think about it. It is said that the fourth lady still holds the dowry of the deceased second lady in her hands. They still remember the rich dowry when the second lady married into the Changning House. Envy others.
The more I think about it, the more excited I become.
The fourth girl is already sixteen years old. After breaking off the engagement, if they don’t talk about a marriage quickly, it will be even more difficult for them to get married in the future. It just so happens that they can go back to their parents’ home to find out if there is anyone of the right age.
Several concubine wives thought of a place together.
Taking everyone's reactions into consideration, the smile on Jiang Ningbao's lips disappeared, and he blessed the old lady with a grateful look on his face: "Thank you, grandma."
Mrs. Jiang glanced at Jiang Ningbao lovingly, and sighed with a complex expression: "You deserve all this. Just don't blame your grandmother for taking the initiative to cancel the marriage."
Jiang Ningbao sneered in her heart. They were obviously moved by the compensation proposed by Prince Xie, and they couldn't wait to cancel her marriage, damaging her reputation, and pretending to be good for her. The old lady's behavior was really true. Hypocritical, but with a lively smile on her face: "Grandma is doing it for the good of her granddaughter. How can the granddaughter blame her grandma?"
"What a good boy." Mrs. Jiang nodded with satisfaction.
Butler Zhao: "..."
Why did he feel that Miss Jiang Si’s smile was weird?
"Butler Zhao, when the matter has reached this point, I have said before that I will not force it. This is the marriage certificate between me and the crown prince and the crown prince's invitation."
Jiang Ningbao turned back to look at Butler Zhao. With a smile, he took out the marriage certificate that was notarized at the Yamen and Xie Jingyi's Gengjie from his sleeves, but did not give it to Butler Zhao.
This marriage certificate is in triplicate.
Each party holds one share, and the Yamen holds one share.
Only when the divorced person goes to the Yamen in person to formally cancel the engagement can the engagement be truly terminated.
Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhang did not dare to force Jiang Ningbao. For this reason, the marriage certificate and the fiancé's marriage certificate were both in Jiang Ningbao's hands.
"Miss Jiang Si, do you know when to go to the Yamen?" Butler Zhao admired Miss Jiang Si's crispness.
Jiang Ningbao's slender green fingers lightly touched the marriage certificate in her hand, without a trace of nostalgia in her eyes. She looked at Butler Zhao calmly and spoke slowly.
