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

At this time, Mrs. Xie, who had gray hair on her temples, was sitting in a small sedan chair and was carried over by several strong servants. Apparently, a servant told Mrs. Xie what happened at the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion.

Everyone saluted quickly.

"I met the old lady."

Mrs. Xie nodded with a smile, glanced at everyone present, and saw her adopted grandson kneeling on the ground and the beautiful woman next to him. She couldn't help but frown and said: "Why are you all kneeling at the gate? Get up. Let’s talk about it after entering the government.”

Everyone stood up together.

As soon as Yang Shuqing saw Mrs. Xie, a glimmer of light burst into her eyes. She thought of the health-preserving wine she had brought this time. This health-preserving wine was the most precious one. It was the most complicated to brew and used the most precious medicinal materials.

It is not currently sold at Shangyun Winery.

An idea came to her mind. Duke Dingguo went to the battlefield when he was young, and he must have suffered a lot of hidden wounds. If she offered him the health wine, Mrs. Xie would definitely look at her differently.

As long as Mrs. Xie speaks for the prince, the charges of unfilial piety on the prince's body will definitely be washed away.

As for injustice...

A hint of cruelty flashed across Yang Shuqing's eyes, and she had a plan in mind.

At this time, Mrs. Xie, who was sitting on the sedan chair, looked at Jiang Ningbao, showed her a loving smile, and then glared at her unsatisfied son: "Aheng, why haven't you sent Ningbao back home yet?" Mansion?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Shuqing's expression suddenly changed.

She thought Jiang Ningbao had just arrived at Duke Dingguo's Mansion like her, but she didn't expect that Jiang Ningbao had already met Mrs. haze.

A flash of surprise flashed across Xie Jingyi's cold and handsome face.

Grandma seems to like Miss Jiang Si very much.

"Old madam, don't be angry. The Duke has been delayed for a while because of something." Jiang Ningbao glanced at Duke Ding's handsome face and spoke for Duke Ding with a smile.

Mrs. Xie laughed and scolded: "You girl."

Everyone present could hear the intimacy in the tone, and their hearts trembled. They all glanced at Miss Jiang Si. They did not expect that this delicate and beautiful Miss Jiang Si would be so grateful to the old lady for her favor.

"Aheng, it's getting late. Send Ningbao girl home quickly." Mrs. Xie couldn't help but urge.

Dingguo Gong thanked Heng for a moment, turned his head to face the little girl's clear and bright eyes, and said softly.

"I'll take you back."

"Okay!"

A bright smile bloomed at the corner of Jiang Ningbao's mouth, and she bowed slightly towards Mrs. He helped the girl get into the carriage and then closed the curtain.

Isolated the gazes of Xie Shizi and Yang Shuqing.

A bodyguard in black brought Duke Dingguo’s mount over.

"Steward Zhao, the cane punishment must be carried out."

Ding Guogong Xie Heng quietly ordered Butler Zhao, and then bowed slightly to Mrs. Wooden Buddha beads, the warm sunshine shone on him, making him look even more handsome and majestic.

Jiang Ningbao opened the curtain, poked his head out and glanced at the handsome Dingguo Gong from a distance, waved to him with a bright smile, then ordered the coachman, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

Dingguo Gong Xie Heng followed on horseback, followed by a small group of black-clad guards to personally **** him.

"Your Majesty, Miss Yang, please come into the house."

Housekeeper Zhao looked at Miss Jiang Si’s carriage and the retreating figure of the Duke of Guo, then looked back at Prince Xie and others standing aside, and spoke respectfully.

Xie Jingyi nodded lightly, his figure tall and slender, still cold and noble, but his voice was extremely deep.

"Butler Zhao, why is Miss Jiang Si here?"

Next to her, Yang Shuqing lowered her eyelids, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.

Housekeeper Zhao glanced at Mrs. Xie sitting in the sedan in front of her and answered with a smile.

"It was invited by the old lady."

"My eldest son, I have great news for you. Miss Jiang Si and the Duke of Guo have verbally agreed to get married in the presence of the old lady. They will only wait for the official appointment in the future. I ask your eldest son to please marry Miss Jiang Si in the future. Keep your distance, Miss Jiang Si will be your elder and the future wife of the Duke of the country."

As soon as Butler Zhao's words came out, they were like spring thunder on the ground, exploding in Yang Shuqing's ears.

The future lady of the country.

After reviving her life, Jiang Ningbao’s identity is still the Duke’s wife.

Is Jiang Ningbao destined to be the princess of the country?

Yang Shuqing clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, her eyes flashed with a hint of haze, how could it be possible, how could Jiang Ningbao marry Duke Ding... She should be the future wife of the Duke.

When I think of Jiang Ningbao weighing on me, using her identity as mother-in-law to make things difficult for her, and taking revenge on her... I still have to be respectful in front of her...

Yang Shuqing's face showed no expression, and her heart shuddered again.

She couldn't sit still and wait for death.

Yang Shuqing calmed down the chaotic thoughts and smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"It is really a joyful thing for Miss Jiang Si to marry Duke Ding as she wished."

"Miss Yang is right. The Duke of Guo can finally marry and have children. The old lady is very happy, and she even specially increased the monthly salary for the people in the house." Butler Zhao answered with a smile.

He is really happy.

As long as Miss Jiang Si gives birth to an heir of the Duke of Guo, the Dingguo Palace will definitely be inherited by the Duke of Guo's legitimate son and will not fall into the hands of outsiders.

The second wife of the Xie family has become somewhat rampant in recent years.

Marry a wife and have children...

Yang Shuqing was suddenly startled, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. If Jiang Ningbao really gave birth to an heir for the Duke, then... what would the prince do?

The only good thing is that no one knows that Duke Dingguo only has two years to live. As long as Jiang Ningbao cannot be pregnant with Duke Dingguo's heir within these two years... No, there may be a more ruthless way.

Prevent Jiang Ningbao from marrying into the Duke of Dingguo.

After Yang Shuqing came up with a countermeasure, his whole body relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his beautiful face.

Butler Zhao looked at her deeply.

Xie Jingyi froze, his thin lips pursed into a thin line.

Perhaps he had a premonition as early as when he saw his ex-fiancée standing beside his adoptive father. Now that the premonition has come true, Prince Xie is not surprised.

He couldn't help but remember that a few days ago, his ex-fiancée made a shocking statement in front of the government office.

"I think my current fiancé's mother is more suitable."

Now, she really wants to marry his adoptive father and become his... elder. Xie Jingyi, who is a generation shorter for no reason, has a complex and difficult to distinguish feeling in his heart.

"I know."

After Prince Xie finished speaking calmly, he looked back at his fiancée Yang Shuqing. Yang Shuqing showed him a bright and generous smile and stepped into the Dingguo Palace with him.

Butler Zhao followed him with a smile.

The red-painted door of Duke Dingguo's mansion clanged shut tightly.

Yang Shuqing looked back at the closed red door, and then at Mrs. Xie who was being carried in front of her. She took a deep breath, and decided to beg for mercy while the Duke of Guo was not in the house.

Today is the day when she and Prince Xie get engaged, and there must be no blood.

Even if it takes a day, it will be fine.

……

This time when he returned home, Duke Dingguo Xie Heng saw him off. Jiang Ningbao was a little careful and did not take shortcuts. He specifically asked the driver to take a detour.

"Girl, is it really okay for us to go around in such a big circle? Isn't it too obvious?" Chunxi said uneasily on the carriage, thinking that the girl went out of her way to wear one in order to delay the return home. As she walked through the bustling streets of the capital, her heart trembled.

Ding Guogong will definitely see it.

Jiang Ningbao chuckled and raised his hand to brush his hair, "Chunxi, what are you worried about?"

Chunxi was about to cry.

"Girl, can I not be worried, slave? What if the Duke is angry..."

Jiang Ningbao laughed.

"Chunxi, please rest assured that the Duke of the Kingdom will not be angry. He must have seen my intention to declare sovereignty, and maybe he is secretly happy in his heart."

Pledge of sovereignty...

Dingguo Gong Xie Heng, who was relatively close to the carriage, happened to hear the words of the master and servant in the carriage, and there was an almost imperceptible fluctuation in his eyes.

Have fun...

The mouths of the black-clad guards guarding the carriage twitched. Are you sure Miss Jiang Si is talking about their cold master?

At this time, the taverns and teahouses were busy, and most of them were talking about the prince Dingguo going to Anyuanhou Mansion to propose marriage, and they once again sympathized with Miss Jiang Si.

At this time, some people saw that Duke Dingguo Xie Heng, who exuded a fierce and forbidding aura that made people shun him, led his black-clad bodyguards to **** an ordinary carriage. They exclaimed excitedly and stopped one after another. Talking and wondering who is in this carriage.

Jiang Ningbao took advantage of the largest crowd of onlookers on the street and deliberately half-opened the car curtain, revealing half of her delicate and soft face. The most eye-catching thing was the arm that lifted the curtain.

Wearing a ruby ​​bracelet on her fair and delicate wrist, there was a faint red light shining under the sunlight.

"She is a noble lady."

When the sharp-eyed people saw this scene, they immediately exclaimed. Duke Dingguo personally escorted a noble lady. Who was this noble lady? Everyone in the restaurants and teahouses on the street exploded.

Who doesn’t know that Duke Dingguo is a murderous weapon in human form, a poisonous son-in-law whom women avoid for fear of getting there?

Now they saw Ding Guogong personally escorting a noble lady. Everyone no longer wanted to talk about the gossip about Prince Xie and Miss Yang. They all stretched their necks and rubbed their eyes, trying to see clearly the noble lady in the carriage. Who is the woman?

Someone quietly followed behind to watch the fun.

Dingguo Gong Xie Heng's handsome and cold face, watched from afar by so many people, did not waver at all. Only when he thought of the oath of sovereignty that the little girl just said, did a ripple appear.

Through the market with swagger.

More and more people are following behind.

Until the carriage escorted by black-clad guards stopped at the gate of Chang Ning Bo Mansion, the people behind were dumbfounded and so shocked that they could not speak for a long time. Who could tell them that the identity of this noble girl turned out to be the lady of Chang Ning Bo Mansion... …

They all thought of Miss Jiang Si.

This is really breaking news.

When the servants guarding the gate of Changning House saw the familiar carriage, they were stunned and trembled. Ding Guogong actually led the black-clad guards to **** the four girls back to the house...

At this time, a pretty maid got out of the carriage first and put down a small stool. Then a graceful figure in lake blue appeared. With the help of the maid, she stepped off the carriage on the small stool.

The woman is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is wearing a lake blue dress embroidered with white magnolia. She is standing beside the carriage. She is delicate and beautiful, with black hair and jade skin, and charming grace.

"It's Miss Jiang Si!"

People who had seen Jiang Ningbao's appearance exclaimed in surprise. Now everyone knew that the noble lady escorted back by Duke Ding was really Miss Jiang Si, and the crowd in the distance was in an uproar.

"Fourth girl, you are back." The servant guarding the gate of Chang Ningbo Mansion was a discerning servant. The moment he saw Jiang Ningbao getting off the carriage, he quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Jiang Ningbao nodded lightly and looked back at the man in dark purple robes on the horse not far away. A sly look flashed in his eyes. He took out the Buddhist scripture from his sleeves and waved it up. He gave him a playful smile and his voice was melodious.

"My lord, thank you for the Buddhist scriptures you sent me. I like them very much."

"Also, today's lunch is delicious."

Dingguo Gong Xie Heng’s eyebrows moved.

He found that the little girl was not only courageous, but also very cunning, and he had a subtle premonition in his heart that when his mother came to the palace to ask for marriage, his peaceful days would be gone forever.

But he was strangely looking forward to it.

The guards in black all took a sneak peek at their master's cold and handsome face, then looked at Miss Jiang Si's soft and bright smile, and said to themselves, Miss Jiang Si... really wanted to tell the world about her relationship with the Duke. How close.

Chunxi's eyes widened slightly, and she discovered that since Prince Xie broke off the engagement, the girl seemed to have broken her shackles, and her whole person became brighter, brighter and bolder.

I wonder if the third young master will be frightened when he sees such a girl when he comes back.

Chunxi actually liked the girl's appearance better in her heart.

Dingguo Gong Xie Heng noticed that the eyes of the people around him were fixed on the little girl. His sharp eyebrows wrinkled almost imperceptibly, and a huge sense of oppression suddenly poured out.

The onlookers were all frightened by this pressing feeling and turned their eyes away. Their faces were pale, their legs were weak and trembling, and they wanted to run away.

How scary!

"It's not safe outside, go in first."

Dingguo Gong Xie Heng restrained his evil spirit. His deep and cold voice did not feel any warmth at all, but the frightened crowd around him could hear a trace of concern in his words.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Guo, for your concern, and thank you, Mr. Guo, for sending me all the way."

Jiang Ningbao's beautiful eyes were as bright as stars. She once again raised the Buddhist scripture in her hand, blessed her body with a smile, and turned around to enter the house with small and elegant steps.

The servant guarding the gate has not yet come to his senses.

The fourth girl had already left with her maid Chunxi.

Dingguo Gong Xie Heng glanced at the slender and graceful back of the little girl, his eyes filled with evil spirits flickered, expressionless, he turned his horse around and left with his bodyguards in black. The driver of the carriage also shook his head. Horsewhip followed and left.

The crowd outside has not dispersed yet, talking in twos and threes.

"The aura of Lord Dingguo was so terrifying that I broke out in a cold sweat."

"I was so scared that my legs were weak."

"What on earth is going on? Isn't today the day when Prince Xie and Miss Yang get engaged? What does it mean that Duke Dingguo sent Buddhist scriptures to Miss Jiang Si?"

"A token of love?"

Everyone paused and looked at the person who spoke speechlessly. The person shrank his neck and took a step back in fear: "What do you think I am doing?"

“I have never heard of anyone giving a Buddhist scripture as a token of love.”

"I haven't heard of it either."

"Buddhist scriptures are not the point. Have you forgotten that Miss Jiang Si also said that today's lunch was delicious? It seems that Miss Jiang Si is treated very well in Dingguo Palace."

"Also, Miss Jiang Si doesn't seem to be afraid of Duke Ding, and Duke Ding seems to treat Miss Jiang Si differently. Does this mean that Miss Jiang Si is very likely to marry Duke Ding."

"Hearing what you said, I suddenly felt a little excited."

"Haha, I'm also looking forward to it. My ex-fiancée has become an adoptive mother, and she has become a generation taller for nothing. I just want to see how Prince Xie will react."

"If this is true, wouldn't Miss Jiang Si and Miss Yang become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"

"Haha!"

"Now there's something good to watch."

"I just want to know Prince Xie's reaction."

"..."

The servants of Changning Bo Mansion just listened to the discussion of the lively crowd at the gate, and they were in a trance. If the fourth girl really marries Duke Ding, things will change in the manor.

As the eldest lady's servants, one of the two doorkeepers was a relative of the eldest lady's confidant, Grandma Yang. They were well-informed and knew that the eldest lady was going to arrange a marriage for the fourth girl, so they couldn't help but look at each other in shock.

This is trouble.

Mrs. Jiang immediately received a report from her servants about what happened at the door of the house. She did not expect that the fourth girl who did not like her would have such good fortune.

Mrs. Jiang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, her eyes twinkling.

"Hongxing, ask the fourth girl to come to Shojin Hall later."

Jiang Ningbao returned to his courtyard in a good mood, not paying attention to the eyes of the servants in the house. Unexpectedly, he met Madam Jiang’s confidant Hongxing on the way, who came to look for her. She looked respectfully at Jiang Ningbao: "Fourth girl, the old lady wants to see you."

Jiang Ningbao's eyes flashed and he nodded with a smile: "I'll be there right away."

Following the maid Hongxing to the Shoujin Hall, leaving Chunxi outside, Jiang Ningbao stepped into the hall alone and saw Mrs. Jiang sitting in the high hall. The eldest lady Zhang was sitting below, and there were three Shui Lingling beside her. The maidservant was waiting on the side.

Jiang Ningbao moved forward with small steps, saluted with a smile on his face: "My granddaughter has met my grandmother." Then he paid his respects to the eldest lady Zhang, who didn't look very well.

There is no fault in etiquette and rules.

Mrs. Jiang looked deeply at the four girls below who were smiling slightly. In the past, this granddaughter always had a low-brow look, soft and weak.

Every time the old lady sees her like this, she always feels disgusted and unhappy.

Today's Fourth Girl seems to be a piece of carefully carved jade, blooming with her own dazzling elegance. This whole body's temperament and charm cannot be changed and developed overnight. It seems that Fourth Girl has always been Hiding clumsiness.

"Fourth girl, I heard that Duke Dingguo escorted you back to your home, is it true?" Mrs. Jiang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, staring at Jiang Ningbao's face with sharp eyes.

Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly and replied calmly: "As I said to my grandmother, this is indeed the case."

"Fourth girl, why did Duke Ding **** you back to your home?" Madam Jiang's eyes immediately brightened, she put down the teacup in her hand and continued to inquire.

Jiang Ningbao smiled lightly and replied: "Mrs. Xie asked the Duke to send his granddaughter back home."

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, her eyes became more loving, and her gaze shifted to the Buddhist scripture in her hand. She paused and listened to the report that Duke Ding had given the fourth girl a Buddhist scripture. Could it be the one in her hand?

"Is this Buddhist scripture a gift from Dingguo Gong?"

Jiang Ningbao glanced down at the Buddhist scripture in his hand, rubbed it gently, looked up at the old lady with clear black and white eyes, nodded and said: "Yes."

"Fourth girl, why did Duke Dingguo give you Buddhist scriptures? Could it be that your remarks a few days ago angered Duke Dingguo?" Zhang, the eldest uncle who had never spoken, finally waited for the opportunity to speak out. She stared intently. The Buddhist scripture in Jiang Ningbao's hand was a little aggressive.

Jiang Ningbao secretly thought, here we come.

The woman in the backyard is best at making rafts out of Buddhist scriptures.

Mrs. Jiang's face sank slightly, and she had obviously thought about sending Buddhist scriptures. Is there any other meaning in it that she didn't know about? If it was misinterpreted...it seemed that she had to inquire carefully.

"Fourth girl, put down the Buddhist scriptures now, and you can talk to your grandmother about the Duke Ding's Mansion first."

Jiang Ningbao glanced at his eldest uncle, and calmly told the story of how he met Duke Ding at the gate of Duke Ding's mansion, who was returning to his mansion, and explained everything that happened today in a leisurely and unhurried manner.

At the same time, he concealed the medicinal wine.

The whole flower hall was quiet.

Mrs. Jiang's eyes burst with surprise, and her hands trembled slightly with excitement. She obviously did not expect that this fourth girl could get close to Duke Ding without being affected. This was an opportunity for the Changning House to rise.

"Fourth girl, are you really allowed to get close to Duke Ding?" Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but confirm again.

Jiang Ningbao nodded generously and admitted: "Yes."

This matter cannot be hidden. Tomorrow Mrs. Xie will go to Qingshui Temple to choose an auspicious day. After choosing an auspicious day, she will go to the palace to propose marriage. It will probably only take a day or two.

Ms. Zhang's face was gloomy, and she was gritting her teeth and secretly resenting it. She didn't expect that one day she would make a mistake.

I thought it was a little sheep that could only be handled, but it turned out to be a hard bone to chew.

Now he has climbed up to Duke Dingguo.

Damn it!

When she thought that the rich dowry in the hands of the fourth girl was about to fly away, Mrs. Zhang felt anxious and secretly gritted her teeth. It seemed that she could not wait any longer. She didn't believe that a ruined flower could still marry into the Duke of Dingguo's palace.

"It turns out that this is a Buddhist scripture copied by Duke Dingguo. Girls, can you show it to your eldest aunt?" Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked casually with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Jiang also became interested.

Jiang Ningbao raised his eyebrows. The Buddhist scriptures copied by Duke Dingguo had a hint of evil aura, but not much. Strangely, the people around him didn't seem to feel the presence of evil aura.

"Auntie, the Buddhist scriptures copied by Duke Ding are not something ordinary people can read." Jiang Ningbao pretended to be concerned and shook her head. She would not rush to send the Buddhist scriptures copied by Duke Ding. If something happened to the uncle, she would definitely Will be the first to get angry.

Especially when there are other maids and women present.

People's words are scary.

Even though she is not afraid of rumors, Jiang Ningbao would rather take a few detours and find reason first.

The eldest lady Zhang couldn’t help but look down: "Fourth girl, what do you mean by this?"

Mrs. Jiang in the high hall couldn't help but frown, a look of perseverance flashed in her eyes. Could it be that this granddaughter had the support of Duke Ding, and her heart swelled.

"Auntie, this Buddhist scripture is different. It is stained with the evil spirit of Duke Ding and is not suitable for you to read." Jiang Ningbao looked embarrassed and explained euphemistically again. However, when he saw the angry face of the aunt, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart.

"If you really want to see it, my niece will show it to you."

The eldest lady Zhang sneered. The more the fourth girl said this, the more she didn't believe it and the more she wanted to read the Buddhist scriptures. It was just a casual comment at first, but now Zhang felt that the fourth girl was provoking her.

You must see the Buddhist scriptures.

"Mother, look at how easy it is for Fourth Girl to tell lies. She has the evil spirit of Duke Ding. It's simply ridiculous."

Mrs. Jiang nodded lightly, obviously thinking that Jiang Ningbao was lying.

"Fourth girl, if your aunt wants to read it, show it to her. It's just a Buddhist scripture, and it's not a rare item."

"Yes, Grandma."

Jiang Ningbao pursed his lips, sighed softly, and presented the Buddhist scripture in his hand with a worried look. Seeing the auntie couldn't wait to take it into her hand, Jiang Ningbao was afraid that he would not be able to help laughing. It's really a rush to die.

What Jiang Ningbao can do, of course, is to help her.
