www.lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Marrying the Hero’s Dad!
The Butler Zhao of Dingguo Palace is a middle-aged man with a pale face. Looking at his straight back, steady steps and faint murderous aura, it is not difficult to tell that this Butler Zhao is a man who has been on the battlefield. .
Had it not been for the experience in her previous life, Jiang Ningbao would not have noticed the murderous spirit that had not yet faded away from the seemingly shrewd Butler Zhao. She couldn't help but think of Duke Dingguo, whose name she only heard but never saw. , the adoptive father of the male protagonist Xie Jingyi, everyone in the Dai Viet Dynasty knows about Duke Dinh.
He is also the person Jiang Ningbao admires the most.
Now he is only twenty-eight, but he is already the war **** of the Dai Viet Dynasty who makes his enemies fearful.
For such a man who defended his family and country with a strong heart, who would have thought that he would suffer from hidden injuries two years later and die suddenly in his thirties.
The male protagonist Xie Jingyi became the new Duke Dingguo.
Jiang Ningbao thought of the memory of the time traveler she received when she woke up. She gently touched the ruby bracelet on her wrist, pursed her pink lips, and fell into deep thought.
"Old Madam, Mr. Zhao came here this time for the marriage between the prince and Miss Jiang Si." Butler Zhao is indeed a soldier. As soon as he arrived, he went straight to the point and explained the purpose of his visit straightforwardly.
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.
Mrs. Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose from the bottom of her heart. She glanced at Jiang Ningbao, her granddaughter, and asked calmly, "What does Butler Zhao mean by this?"
The eldest lady Zhang wrung the handkerchief, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and asked with a smile: "Butler Zhao, my niece is already sixteen. I wonder when the prince will marry my niece?"
Jiang Ningbao retracted his thoughts and looked at Butler Zhao calmly.
Butler Zhao frowned slightly when he thought of the prince's resolute attitude of canceling the engagement, sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but feel pity for the fourth lady of the Jiang family.
"Zhao came here on the order of the Crown Prince to terminate the engagement between the Crown Prince and Miss Jiang Si."
The hall fell into dead silence, and the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.
The maids and ladies did not dare to take a breath.
A flash of worry flashed through Jiang Mingyao's beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help but tug on Jiang Ningbao's sleeve. Jiang Ningbao turned his head and smiled softly at her, with his extremely beautiful eyes calm.
Jiang Mingyao was stunned.
The fourth sister’s reaction was very strange.
After a long while, Mrs. Jiang took a sip of the tea soup, showed a stiff smile, and confirmed in a dry tone: "Butler Zhao, are you wrong? How come the prince broke off his engagement with my fourth girl?"
Butler Zhao shook his head and sighed: "This is the prince's decision."
Mrs. Jiang no longer took chances now, her face could not hide her anger, and with a bang, the pastel flower and bird teacup in her hand hit the coffee table heavily.
"Steward Zhao, renouncing the engagement is related to the reputation of the girl from my uncle's house. I forgive you for not agreeing to renouncing the engagement. No matter how noble the status of the legitimate daughter of Marquis Anyuan is, she must be inferior to my granddaughter."
"This marriage cannot be canceled!"
Mrs. Jiang spoke resolutely, staring sharply at Butler Zhao, emphasizing every word.
"Mother is right, this marriage cannot be canceled. My niece has always abided by etiquette and law, and has never done anything out of the ordinary. The legitimate daughter of Marquis Anyuan is indeed of a higher status than my niece, but her innocence was ruined in front of everyone. She is the one, why should she cancel my niece's marriage and ruin her reputation in favor of that eldest lady?"
"Could it be that my niece is being bullied and has no parents to protect her?"
"Your Majesty, this is too much!"
"Butler Zhao must also know how this marriage was decided in the first place. Now that the prince wants to terminate the engagement, he is really ungrateful."
The eldest lady Zhang was furious and her tone was full of aggression.
The niece's marriage is a link to the Dingguo Palace. Without this marriage, the status of the Changning Palace will surely plummet.
She, the lady of the uncle's house, will no longer have her glory.
The status of the eldest daughter in her husband's family will also plummet, which Zhang cannot tolerate.
Jiang Ningbao looked at this scene calmly, with a flash of complexity in his eyes. None of the people in the Changning House were evil people, but when their own interests were involved...
At this time, the eldest lady Zhang turned to Jiang Ningbao, pulled her Rouyi, patted her lightly, and comforted her: "Four girls, don't be afraid, eldest aunt will not let you be bullied in vain."
"I believe in my grandmother and aunt."
Jiang Ningbao returned a trusting smile, her brows filled with pitiable weakness, like a pure and soft lotus, making people unable to look away.
Housekeeper Zhao noticed the two girls from the uncle's house in the hall when he came in. Out of politeness, he did not take a closer look.
Only now did I know that Miss Jiang Si, who had been divorced by the Crown Prince, was also among them.
At first glance, I was amazed by the slender and beautiful Jiang Ningbao.
Butler Zhao couldn't help but feel a bit of embarrassment and intolerance in his heart.
I didn’t expect that the prince’s fiancée, Miss Jiang Si, would be such a delicate and delicate girl who can’t help but care for her.
In fact, the prince is determined to break off the engagement and break off the engagement with the fourth lady of the Changning House. Butler Zhao does not agree with it. The fourth lady of the Jiang family has reached the age of sixteen and can marry into the Dingguo Palace as soon as the wedding date is set. .
Unexpectedly, something went wrong.
The Crown Prince unexpectedly rescued the eldest daughter of Marquis Anyuan at Princess Rui's peach blossom banquet, ruining her innocence, and then insisted on breaking off the marriage and marrying Marquis Anyuan's eldest daughter.
The old lady disagreed and promised that if Marquis Anyuan agreed, he could marry the eldest daughter of Marquis Anyuan as equal wives. However, the prince knelt in the courtyard of the old lady for a whole day, forcing the old lady to agree.
Butler Zhao felt very uncomfortable. In his mind, the old lady and the Duke were the real owners of the house, and the prince was just the young master who inherited from the direct line of the Xie family.
Besides, the crown prince is still an unofficial choice. The Duke of Guo has not submitted the documents to confirm the title of crown prince, so it is only in name only.
But when we think about the situation of the Duke of Guo, this prince will definitely be the future owner of the Duke of Guo's Mansion if nothing unexpected happens.
Butler Zhao sighed in his heart.
"It was the prince's intention to break off the engagement with the fourth lady of your house. The Duke of Guo didn't know about it. My old lady couldn't resist the prince, so she agreed to Zhao's visit to break off the engagement."
Butler Zhao did not want the old lady and the Duke to take the blame, so he explained aloud.
When Mrs. Zhang heard what Butler Zhao said, she patted the back of Jiang Ningbao's hand again. She turned around with a solemn expression and glared at Butler Zhao with sullen eyes. She sneered: "Hello, Mr. Prince of the Duke's Mansion. He has so much dignity to break off the engagement right away. Has he thought about how much harm it would do to the woman to break off the engagement? Even if it is the man who is at fault, what else can my niece say about a good marriage after breaking off the engagement?"
Butler Zhao looked suffocated, his old face flushed, and his lips moved. He wanted to argue but couldn't. In the final analysis, this matter was the prince's fault.
"This...this coercion is not sweet. The prince wants to break off the engagement, and we servants can only do it, but the old lady said that we will compensate the fourth lady of your house."
Jiang Ningbao’s eyebrows moved, he glanced at Butler Zhao, and secretly thought, he’s finally here.
The male protagonist's breakup and generous compensation are the beginning of the evil heroine Jiang Ningbao's darkening in this novel about the heroine's rebirth, starting the journey of Jiang Ningbao's darkening.
As a vicious female supporting character with a fragile white lotus appearance, she really makes the most of her fragile beauty and vicious schemes.
Jiang Ningbao’s eyes flashed with interest as he thought of the crazy and vicious ‘self’ in the book.
Speaking of which, she and this vicious female supporting character are both different people.
It's really interesting.
Madam Zhang was stunned when she heard this, and twisted the handkerchief in her hand. Madam Jiang glanced at Butler Zhao, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, her expression unmoved.
"Compensation?"
A clear and sweet voice suddenly sounded, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Jiang Ningbao, the slender and fragile client who suddenly made a sound.
"Butler Zhao, tell me, how will the prince compensate me?"
Mrs. Jiang frowned slightly, feeling a strange feeling in her heart. She couldn't help but take a look at her granddaughter, who still looked weak and vulnerable. She always felt that something was wrong.
"Fourth girl, please relax. Grandma will definitely make the decision for you. No amount of compensation is as important as your reputation."
Zhang's lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.
"Thank you, grandma." Jiang Ningbao showed a delicate smile, but she secretly thought that the old lady would be slapped in the face by what she said.
Jiang Ningbao turned her head and looked at Butler Zhao with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Butler Zhao, you haven't said what compensation the Duke's government will give me?"
"In reply to the fourth lady, the prince promised that if the fourth lady agrees to cancel the marriage, he will recognize the fourth lady as his sister and record it in the family tree. When the fourth lady gets married, the prince will give him a generous gift. Dowry."
"Fourth Miss, once you become the younger sister of the Crown Prince, you will be the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion. With your status rising, it will not be difficult to arrange a good marriage."
A flash of unbearability flashed in Butler Zhao's eyes, and he bravely spoke out the prince's compensation. In his heart, he felt sympathy for the weak and beautiful Miss Jiang Si in front of him.
My fiancée turned into a younger sister. This was something the prince could imagine. It must be said that this was a compensation that was hard to refuse.
The Changning House is a declining noble family. It relies on its relationship with the Duke of Guo to continue the glory of the House. Once it loses the family relationship with the Duke of Guo, the House of Changning will return to its original shape and decline. .
As soon as Butler Zhao said these words, everyone in the hall had different expressions.
Mrs. Jiang, who just said that no matter how much you say, your reputation is not as important as compensation, her expression moved slightly. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. She remained silent, as if she was weighing the pros and cons.
The eldest lady Zhang’s breath was stagnant, and her eyes flickered. Although she had just defended her marriage for her niece who had lost her parents, in fact, Zhang already knew in her heart that her niece’s marriage was probably going to end. Huang, in the final analysis, it is for his own benefit.
As long as the niece becomes the younger sister of the Crown Prince and continues to be related to the Crown Prince, her Yao'er will be able to marry better and the eldest daughter's status in her husband's family will not be shaken.
The hall was silent.
Butler Zhao waited quietly and patiently.
