The blue and white twig incense burner on the shelf in the corner of the flower hall is burning sandalwood, and smoke is curling up.

Jiang Ningbao raised her eyes and took in the strange expressions of the old lady and aunt Zhang without any trace. She lowered her eyelids. It was exactly the same as the plot written in the book. One of the compensations for breaking up the engagement was to be his Sister, the eldest lady of the Duke's mansion.

If she was not the one whose engagement was canceled, Jiang Ningbao would definitely praise her.

The engaged fiancée has lost her parents, so Mrs. Jiang and the head lady of the uncle’s house must have the final say on marriage matters.

Xie Jingyi is worthy of being the male protagonist in the book, and he can clearly understand the thoughts of Mrs. Jiang and others.

The fundamental reason why Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhang do not want to break off their engagement is that they do not want to lose the great supporter of the Duke’s Mansion. If Jiang Ningbao becomes the eldest lady of the Duke’s Mansion and enters the Xie family’s genealogy, Uncle Chang Ning will The government can still use this to completely tie the big ship of the Duke's government.

At this moment, Jiang Ningbao’s personal wishes are not important.

Family interests outweigh everything else.

Jiang Ningbao lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip pretending to be worried. No one noticed the slightest movement in her eyes.

At this time, Madam Zhang, the powerful person in the backyard of Changning House, broke the silence.

"Mother, do you think the fourth girl's marriage should be considered in the long run?"

Jiang Mingyao looked at her mother suddenly, a look of astonishment flashed across her cold and pretty face, as if she did not expect that the first person to be shaken would be her mother.

She bit her lip and lowered her head, not daring to look at the fourth sister, for fear of seeing the shocked eyes of the fourth sister.

It is good to be the eldest lady of the Duke's palace, but being withdrawn from marriage will ultimately damage a woman's reputation.

Even if you get married in the future, you can't erase this stain.

The husband's family may not mind it at first for the sake of Duke Dingguo, but as time goes by, they will inevitably have other ideas.

After all, the fourth sister is not a bloodline of the Xie family.

Can Duke Dingguo protect her for the rest of her life?

Jiang Mingyao didn't believe that her mother hadn't thought about this.

After careful consideration, Mrs. Jiang was actually inclined to break off the engagement and get compensation, but it was hard for her to speak up. Mrs. Zhang’s suggestion was quite to her liking. The old lady glanced at the uneasy Jiang Ningbao, feeling unnatural. looked away.

“We really need to take a long-term approach.”

As soon as these words came out, the old lady was undoubtedly slapping herself in the face. She had just vowed that her granddaughter’s reputation was more important than anything else, and now she didn’t even have time for a cup of tea before she said it back. The maids and women in the hall Try to reduce your presence.

Ms. Zhang felt relieved, as long as her mother agreed, her niece's opinion was not important. She turned to Butler Zhao and cautiously tried to test: "Butler Zhao, I don't know what Madam Xie and the Duke mean by the compensation proposed by the Crown Prince. How?"

Although Jiang Ningbao had been mentally prepared, when this scene appeared, her heart suddenly became cold. If her parents were still here, even if she didn't care, it would not be up to her eldest aunt to decide whether to break off the engagement.

How could Butler Zhao fail to see the meaning of Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Chang Ningbo? He glanced at Miss Jiang Si who lowered her eyes and said nothing, and sighed secretly in his heart. As expected, the prince knew everything, but he had to follow the prince's instructions. Ye wanted to bite the bullet and once again throw out another coveted compensation.

"My old lady agreed to the prince's proposal and promised that after we break off the engagement, she will give you an official position as a minister of the Ministry of Industry. What do you think of this?"

The Ministry of Industry Yuanwai Lang is a fifth-grade official.

Madam Zhang’s breathing became rapid, her heart was beating with excitement, and her eyes turned green.

She gave birth to two sons and two daughters for her uncle, both of whom were useless. The eldest son has mediocre qualifications. He is in his twenties. He has studied hard for more than ten years and taken many scientific examinations. He has not yet obtained any honors, but the eldest son has mediocre qualifications. After inheriting the uncle's house, the second son gave up taking the imperial examination this year, and his future was uncertain. The uncle went to do everything in order to find an official position for him. Originally, in the face of the Duke's house, this matter was easy to handle.

But as soon as the Peach Blossom Banquet came out and everyone saw the importance the Crown Prince paid to the legitimate daughter of Marquis Anyuan, everyone was looking around. The vacancy of the seventh rank that was originally agreed to be filled by the second son has not yet been decided. .

The eldest lady Zhang was so anxious about this matter that she couldn't eat or sleep well. Now that she was suddenly dropped from a fifth-rank official position, she couldn't think about her niece. She couldn't wait to agree to cancel the marriage immediately.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and spoke eagerly.

"Mother, the Duke's government is very sincere, and we can't push it too far, so why not just agree?"

After saying that, Mrs. Zhang showed an apologetic smile to Jiang Ningbao with some embarrassment: "Fourth girl, don't blame your aunt. My aunt is doing it for your own good. It is better to be the eldest daughter of Duke Ding's mansion than the lady of the uncle's mansion. ”

Jiang Ningbao didn't say a word, and looked at Ms. Zhang quietly with her beautiful eyes. She no longer had the softness of the past, and there was a faint coldness between her brows.

She is such a good relative.

The benefit was to Uncle Ning's house, but she lost her reputation.

If my parents were still here...

Jiang Ningbao couldn't help but think of her 'passed' parents, her eldest brother who was studying hard at Qingshan Academy, and smiled bitterly in her heart. She had a good relationship with her eldest brother Jiang Jin. Jiang Jin had already obtained the title of scholar and was now studying in the academy. She is preparing for this year's provincial examination, striving to pass the exam and become a successful candidate, so that she can have a second wife and get married in a glorious way.

It's a pity that he didn't know that his sister was about to be annulled by her fiancé.

Thinking of the ending of everyone in the second room in the book, Jiang Ningbao's heart became even colder.

The eldest lady Zhang felt guilty when she saw her, and couldn't help feeling secretly angry. She thought to herself that this niece was really ungrateful. She turned to the silent old lady and called anxiously: "Mother!"

Jiang Mingyao's face changed slightly. She was extremely embarrassed by her mother's behavior. She closed her eyes and did not dare to look at the fourth sister again. She was afraid that she would see the desperate eyes of the fourth sister.

Mrs. Jiang's already wavering heart became even more determined. If she traded an unhappy granddaughter for the future of a direct grandson, anyone would choose the latter.

It’s just that I can’t agree so quickly. The old lady had better be face-friendly. She had slapped herself in the face just now. Although she was ambiguous about long-term planning, she can’t wait to agree to cancel the engagement now. There are still many maids and women in the hall, which would be a bit annoying. Leave a bad impression.

Now that the eldest daughter-in-law is acting so impatiently, the old lady couldn't help but curse in her heart as a fool. Has her usual shrewdness and calmness gone to waste?

After not receiving a response from the old lady for a long time, Madam Zhang’s expression darkened.

Butler Zhao waited with his eyes, nose, nose and heart, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the calm face of the timid and delicate Miss Jiang Si, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Miss Jiang Si’s reaction was wrong.

After a long while, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but glare at Mrs. Zhang and said sternly: "Ms. Zhang, the fourth girl is my direct granddaughter. I have my own ideas about her marriage. Please be patient."

The eldest lady Zhang's face turned pale and looked anxious. What did mother mean by this?

"Grandma, it's about your granddaughter's happiness. How about you listen to your granddaughter first?" Jiang Ningbao suddenly said with a smile, her voice was gentle, but there was no trace of anger or unwillingness in her words.

When Butler Zhao heard that Miss Jiang Si finally spoke, he couldn't help but feel curious.

The always docile granddaughter suddenly spoke up at this time, Mrs. Jiang's heart suddenly suddenly crossed. She frowned, a flash of displeasure flashed in her eyes. It was hard to reprimand Jiang Ningbao in front of Butler Zhao, so she could only nod lightly: " Fourth girl, tell me."

Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly, and the timidity in his eyebrows disappeared: "Grandma, my granddaughter can agree to break off the engagement. After all, marriage is a good marriage between two people. Since the prince doesn't like his granddaughter, she is not the kind of person who likes to force herself. ."

Mrs. Jiang's heart was relieved. Jiang Ningbao's words were so timely, which saved the old lady from being in a dilemma, and a loving smile couldn't help but appear on her face.

"Fourth girl, you can think like that, that's great!"

The eldest lady Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart dropped to the ground. As long as her niece does not cling to this marriage, it will be fine. The marriage is not successful, but she can become the younger sister of the prince, and they will have peace. The uncle's house can still take advantage of it.

The most important thing is that her second son can get an official position from the fifth rank.

In Mrs. Zhang's mind, this official position was already in her second son's pocket. She never thought that Jiang Ningbao also had a literary and talented eldest brother.

"Grandma, my granddaughter doesn't want to be the prince's sister." Jiang Ningbao pretended not to notice Mrs. Zhang's slightly relaxed reaction, raised her head and looked at Mrs. Jiang for a moment, and spoke calmly.

As soon as these words came out, the cheerful Mrs. Jiang's face suddenly darkened. She almost threw the tea cup in her hand at the fourth girl she didn't like, and said angrily: "Nonsense!"

The eldest lady Zhang glared at Jiang Ningbao, secretly angry that her niece was confused and did not know what was good or bad.

The eldest lady of Duke Dingguo's mansion, even the princesses and princesses have to take a high look at her and lower themselves to make friends with her.

This niece is really blinded by lard.

Incredibly stupid.

The eldest lady Zhang couldn't help but glance at Yao'er, who had a cold temperament and beautiful appearance next to her. It would be great if such a good thing happened to her daughter.

It is a pity that my daughter does not have such good luck.

"Butler Zhao, it's okay to cancel the engagement, but I don't want to be the prince's sister. How about changing the compensation conditions?"

Jiang Ningbao was not frightened by Mrs. Jiang's anger. She turned her gaze to Butler Zhao, gently touched the ruby ​​bracelet on her wrist, and asked softly.

Butler Zhao was startled and asked curiously: "I wonder what the fourth lady wants in exchange?"

"The prince is so powerful. He offered a compensation that is irresistible. I have understood his determination to break off the engagement, but I am not willing to accept it. Why should I, my fiancée, make way for Yang Shuqing, just because of me? Your family background is lower than hers, so you have to lower yourself to make way for her?"

"I don't want to, so I decided to cancel the engagement, but I want to marry Duke Dingguo and step on their heads. Butler Zhao, the only compensation I want is this."

Jiang Ningbao looked at Butler Zhao with a smile and spoke slowly, but what he said shocked everyone present.

Butler Zhao was startled.

I thought that Miss Jiang Si was weak and could be bullied, had no temper, and could endure being renounced, but she was waiting here.

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhang were shocked by Jiang Ningbao, who was suddenly tough and docile as usual. Jiang Mingyao suddenly looked at the fourth sister who had lost her delicate temperament, her eyes full of shock.

Is this still the weak, sweet and gentle fourth sister?

Not only were they in disbelief, but the maids and women in the hall were even more stunned.
