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 Changning Bo 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 damage the reputation of his innocent fiancée for another woman. ”
"I thought that the rumors were too big and 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.
"Steward Zhao, before I return the marriage certificate and Geng Tie, I have two things to ask clearly." Jiang Ningbao spoke slowly and her voice was delicate and gentle, which made people feel good about her.
You want to be my daughter...
Hearing this, Jiang Ningbao's smile froze, and a look of astonishment flashed across her delicate and soft face, as if someone had poured a large basin of cold water on her, freezing her from head to toe.
This inexperienced piece of wood.
No, the wood still promoted him. In Jiang Ningbao's view, Duke Dingguo was just a piece of rotten wood.
She acted so obviously and even deliberately teased Duke Ding with her eyes. Could it be that her seductive skills are so poor?
Jiang Ningbao reflected hard in his heart.
The gap between theory and practice is like a chasm.
You must practice more diligently on Dingguo Gong in the future, and you must remove this piece of rotten wood that is not enlightened.
Jiang Ningbao becomes more courageous the more frustrated she becomes.
Being a daughter... does not exist, her goal is to be his wife.
After marrying him... hum.
Mrs. Xie, who was thinking about the happy life after her son and the little girl from the Jiang family got married, trembled in surprise. The hand holding the teacup shook, and a few drops of tea splashed out.
Looking at this tall, handsome son who made her so proud, she had never felt so miserable.
"Ahem, Ah Heng, there is actually another way to become family."
For example, being your wife.
Mrs. Xie glanced at the calm and composed little girl and reminded her tactfully.
My son is too stupid, and she, the mother-in-law, is worried.
Ding Guo Gong Xie Heng frowned, his eyes fell on the little girl's fair face, his eyebrows twisted three points, and he said coldly and puzzled: "Is it not good to be the eldest lady of the Duke's palace?"
Nanny Huang was dumbfounded, her mouth twitching, and she suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the little girl of the Jiang family. How persistent was the Duke in wanting Miss Jiang Si to be his daughter.
Jiang Ningbao pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Ding Guogong rarely entered the capital and stayed in the camp in the western suburbs. She and Prince Xie's breakup of engagement and her announcement that she would marry Ding Guogong only happened in the past few days.
An incredible guess suddenly appeared in her mind. A pair of extremely beautiful eyes stared directly at Duke Ding's angular handsome face, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"My lord, have you heard of the rumors that have caused a stir in the capital recently?"
Dingguo Gong seemed to be confused as to why the little girl suddenly asked such a question, but the cold lines on his face softened slightly. He shook his head and said quietly: "I have never heard of it."
Now Mrs. Xie and Jiang Ningbao were relieved at the same time, but they were both speechless.
After making trouble for a long time, the real owner didn’t know anything about it.
"Ahem, Ah Heng, the rumors that have caused a commotion in the capital recently have a lot to do with you." Mrs. Xie picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to calm down her shock, and spoke with narrow eyes.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng's back stiffened when his mother looked at him, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his eyebrows became colder: "What does it have to do with it?"
"Old madam, it's up to me to tell you this." Jiang Ningbao's eyes flashed, and he spoke in a gentle voice, with a charming and charming smile on his fair and delicate face.
Mrs. Xie glanced at the wooden son with a smile, and nodded tacitly: "Well, girl Ning Bao said it's just right."
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng felt a subtle emotion in his heart.
"Master Guo, in fact there are rumors in the capital..." Jiang Ningbao spoke softly and told the cause and effect of the rumors, but his eyes were focused on Duke Ding's expression.
"So, I'm not interested in being your daughter, I just want to be your wife." After Jiang Ningbao finished speaking, a blush appeared on his face, and he confessed his love directly in public.
In her last life, she was single until death. In this life, she decided to pursue her husband.
Jiang Ningbao was eager to try.
The corners of Nanny Huang's eyes twitched. The little girl from the Jiang family looked soft and frail on the outside, but her behavior was quite decisive. She truly demonstrated what it means to be more than just a person.
Mrs.
But I couldn't help but praise her in my heart.
"Aheng, Ningbao is a good girl. She is not afraid of the evil spirit in you. Why don't you think about it?" Mrs. Xie coughed lightly and couldn't help but speak for Jiang Ningbao.
The little girl actually wanted to be his wife...his mother was still encouraging him.
Ding Guo Gong Xie Heng's back suddenly stiffened when he was caught off guard by the confession, and his expressionless handsome face almost cracked. He couldn't help but look towards the little girl. Jiang Ningbao, whose eyes had been fixed on Ding Guo Gong, subconsciously looked at him. He smiled brightly.
"My lord, may I be your wife?" There was a hint of coquettishness in her soft voice.
"..."
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng’s cold and handsome face showed no expression, but his mind was blank and his heart was pounding, as if something was about to come out.
He tightened his heartstrings and warned himself that the little girl was just dizzy for a moment, so he pretended to look away calmly. He felt an urge to run away, but the soles of his feet were like nails, so he refused to move a step. .
There was silence in the lobby.
Mrs. Xie waited with interest for her son's response.
After waiting for an answer for a long time, Mrs. Xie became extremely anxious and couldn't help but add fuel to the fire: "Aheng, do you mind that Ningbao girl was Jing Yi's fiancée?"
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng’s lips tightened and he shook his head subconsciously, his voice low and deep: “No.”
"What are you worried about?"
Mrs. Xie asked.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng looked away and said quietly: "We are not suitable." As soon as these words came out, a layer of disappointment appeared in his heart, and his heart felt like a ball of cotton.
Yes, not suitable.
He has been older than the little girl for twelve years, and he is old enough to be the little girl's father.
He...he doesn't want the little girl to regret it in the future.
Mrs.
Jiang Ningbao’s eyes have been falling on Duke Ding’s handsome face, and he has not missed the subtle changes in his expression. He secretly chuckles in his heart. Such a strong Duke Ding is still a novice when it comes to feelings. Mrs. Xie’s Asking questions will only cause this ignorant rotten wood to shrink back into its shell.
It's her turn.
Jiang Ningbao continued to work hard and used a killer weapon.
"My lord, the news has spread outside that I promised to marry you, so if I can't marry you, I will have to twist my hair and become a sister-in-law."
After speaking, a pair of eyes looked pitifully at Xie Heng, Duke of Dingguo, with tears of grievance in his eyes.
Jiang Ningbao has a delicate and lovely appearance, and always gives people a pitiful charm. Now she is really pretending to be pitiful, and she is becoming more and more weak and vulnerable, which makes people feel lovable and want to take her into her arms immediately for comfort. Ichiban.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng's breath was stagnant, and his heart seemed to have been slightly bumped, causing a ripple. His lips moved almost imperceptibly, and his throat rolled up and down twice.
"If I'm not my sister-in-law, I'll marry you!"
As soon as these words came out, Duke Dingguo Xie Heng felt as if the dust had settled and he was relieved, without any discomfort. He ignored the strange feeling in his heart and was only secretly annoyed that he had not considered it well and almost forced the little girl to become a sister-in-law.
The little girl's reputation was tarnished by his adopted son. She impulsively said she wanted to marry him, but people spread the news and caused uproar in the city. Now the only way is to marry him.
If he doesn't marry her, the girl's life will be ruined.
He must take responsibility.
Xie Heng, Duke of Dingguo, found a reason for himself in his heart.
Jiang Ningbao's eyes widened. The surprise came so quickly that she was almost stunned by the big surprise.
"Are you sure?"
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng was silent for a long time, and solemnly said every word: "I will be responsible."
Jiang Ningbao: "..."
Well, she thought too much. Although she was a little careful, it would be fine if Duke Dingguo agreed to marry her. Marriage first and love later would not be bad. Love at first sight is too erratic and easy to be short-lived. Jiang Ningbao still likes long-lasting love. emotion.
This kind of relationship lasts longer.
Jiang Ningbao raised the corners of her mouth happily, with a smile on her brows and eyes, her whole body filled with joy, and asked while the iron was hot.
"So, when are we going to get engaged?"
Mrs.
"Aheng, if you have no objection, I will go to Qingshui Temple tomorrow to choose a good day to set a wedding date, and then go to the palace to propose marriage to you and Ningbao girl."
The little girl from the Jiang family is so nice. If she doesn’t settle for her son quickly, Mrs. Xie won’t be able to sleep at ease.
The imperial edict granted marriage, and she went to Qingshui Temple to choose a date, which all showed that Mrs. Xie valued Jiang Ningbao.
Jiang Ningbao was surprised and moved.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng glanced at the happy little girl, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated again, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated: "Okay."
The marriage between the two was decided upon their first meeting.
Although it is only a verbal agreement, after the imperial edict grants marriage, the betrothal gift that should be given will never be less. This is the only wife in his son's life, and Mrs. Xie attaches great importance to it.
