The lobby was suddenly silent, the sandalwood in the incense burner was curling up, and the white smoke was swirling and circling straight up.
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, which made her head to toe cold.
This stupid wood.
No, saying that the wood is still flattering him, in Jiang Ningbao's view, Ding Guogong is a piece of rotten wood.
She acted so obviously, and deliberately teased Ding Guogong with her eyes, could it be that her seductive skills are so bad
Jiang Ningbao reflected fiercely in her heart.
The gap between theory and practice is like a moat.
In the future, we must practice more diligently on Ding Guogong, and we must take down this piece of rotten wood that is not enlightened.
Jiang Ningbao became more and more courageous as she was frustrated.
When a daughter... doesn't exist, her goal is to be his daughter-in-law.
After marrying him... hum.
Mrs. Xie, who was thinking about the happy life after her son and the little girl from Jiang's family, shivered in shock, her hand trembling while holding the teacup, and a few drops of tea splashed out of the teacup.
Looking at this tall and handsome son who made her so proud, she had never felt so bad.
"Ahem, Ah Heng, there is actually another way to become a family member."
Like being your wife.
Mrs. Xie took a special look at the calm and composed little girl of the Jiang family, and gently reminded her.
The son is too stupid, she, a mother, is worried.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng frowned tightly, his eyes fell on the little girl's fair and clean face, his brows were frowned, and he said in a cold voice, "Isn't it good to be the eldest lady of the Duke's mansion?"
Grandma Huang was dumbfounded, and the corners of her mouth twitched, she suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the little girl of the Jiang family, how much the Duke of the country insisted on wanting Miss Jiang Fourth to be his daughter.
Jiang Ningbao pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Ding Guogong seldom went to the capital, and had been staying in the camp in the western suburbs. She and Xie Shizi resigned and she said that she would marry Ding Guogong just happened in the past few days.
An incredible guess suddenly appeared in her mind, a pair of extremely beautiful eyes stared straight at Duke Ding's sharp-edged handsome face, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"My lord, have you heard the rumors that the capital has been raging recently?"
Ding Guogong seemed to be wondering why the little girl asked this suddenly, but the cold and hard lines on his face softened a little, he shook his head and said softly, "I've never heard of it."
Now Mrs. Xie and Jiang Ningbao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but they were both speechless.
After arguing for a long time, the righteous master didn't know anything.
"Ahem, Ah Heng, the rumors that the capital is full of troubles recently have a lot to do with you." Mrs. Xie picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea to suppress her shock, and said with narrowed eyes.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng's back was stiff when his mother looked at him, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his brows and eyes were a little cold: "What's the matter?"
"Old lady, I'll tell you this." Jiang Ningbao's eyes moved, and she spoke in a soft voice, with a charming smile on her fair and delicate face.
Mrs. Xie glanced at Mu Muzi with a smile, and nodded tacitly: "Well, girl Ning Bao said it was just right."
A subtle emotion appeared in Duke Dingguo Xie Heng's heart.
"My lord, there are actually rumors in the capital..." Jiang Ningbao spoke softly, telling the ins and outs of the rumors, but his eyes were fixed 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 her face, and she confessed directly in public.
In her previous life, she was single until she died, but in this life she decided to pursue her husband with strength.
Jiang Ningbao was eager to try.
The corners of Huang Momo's eyes twitched. The little girl of the Jiang family looked weak and weak on the outside, but her behavior was quite decisive, which really explained what it means to be ugly.
Mrs. Xie almost choked on her own saliva, this young girl from the Jiang family was so fierce that she... actually said in front of her that she wanted to be Ah Heng's wife.
But I couldn't help but praise her in my heart.
"Heng, girl Ningbao is a good girl, she is not afraid of your evil spirit, so 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... The mother was still encouraging her.
Xie Heng, who was caught off guard by the confession, suddenly stiffened his back, his expressionless handsome face almost cracked, he couldn't help looking at the little girl, and Jiang Ningbao, who had been fixed on Ding Guogong, subconsciously showed him big smile.
"Master, how about I be your wife?" There was a touch of coquettishness in her soft voice.
"..."
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng's cold and handsome face showed no expression, but his mind was blank, his heart was pounding, as if something was about to come out.
He tightened his heartstrings, telling himself that the little girl was just in a daze for a moment, and then pretended to look away calmly, feeling an urge to run away, but the soles of his feet seemed to be nailed, and he insisted on not moving a step.
There was silence in the lobby.
Mrs. Xie waited with great interest for her son's response.
After waiting for a long time for an answer, Mrs. Xie was so anxious that she couldn't help adding to her anger: "Heng, do you mind that Ningbao girl was Jing Yi's fiancée?"
Duke Dingguo Xie Heng's lips were tense, he subconsciously shook his head, his voice was low and deep: "No."
"What are you worrying about?"
Mrs. Xie asked.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng looked away, and said softly: "We are not suitable." As soon as he said this, a layer of disappointment appeared in his heart, and his heart seemed to be stuffed with cotton.
Yes, not suitable.
He was a full twelve years older than the little girl, and he was old enough to be the little girl's father.
He...he didn't want the little girl to regret it in the future.
Old Mrs. Xie's heart turned cold, her son was so distressed, and as a mother, her heart was broken.
Jiang Ningbao's eyes kept on Dingguogong's handsome face, and he didn't miss the subtle changes in his expression. He secretly smiled in his heart, such a powerful Dingguogong is still a novice in the face of emotions, Mrs. Xie's questioning, only It will make this unresponsive rotten wood retract into its shell.
It's her turn to play.
Jiang Ningbao continued to make persistent efforts and sacrificed a big killer.
"Master Guo, the news that I let you marry me has already spread outside, so if I can't marry you, I can only hang my hair and become a sister-in-law."
After finishing speaking, a pair of eyes looked pitifully at Duke Ding Xie Heng, tears of grievance welled up in his eyes.
Jiang Ningbao's appearance is delicate and lovely, and always gives people a kind of charming and pitiful charm. Now she really pretends to be pitiful, and she becomes more and more weak and deceitful, which makes people feel pitiful, and she can't wait to take him into her arms immediately to comfort her.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng's breathing stagnated, his heart seemed to be hit lightly, and there was a slight ripple, his lips moved almost imperceptibly, and his throat rolled up and down twice.
"Don't be an aunt, I'll marry you!"
As soon as these words came out, Dingguo Gong Xie Heng actually felt a sense of relief and no discomfort at all. He ignored the strangeness in his heart and was only annoyed that he didn't think carefully and almost forced the little girl to become an aunt.
The little girl's reputation was ruined by his adoptive son, and she impulsively said that she wanted to marry him, but it was spread, causing a lot of trouble in the city, and now there is only one way left to marry him.
If he doesn't marry, the little girl's life will be ruined.
He must take responsibility.
Duke Ding Xie Heng found a reason for himself in his heart.
Jiang Ningbao's eyes widened, the surprise came so fast, she was almost stunned by this big surprise.
"Are you sure?"
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng was silent for a while, and solemnly said word by word: "I will be responsible."
Jiang Ningbao: "..."
Well, she thought too much. Although she was a little careful, Ding Guogong agreed to marry her. Marriage first and then love is not bad. The relationship of love at first sight is too erratic, and it is easy to be short-lived. Jiang Ningbao still likes the long-lasting relationship.
Such a relationship lasts longer.
Jiang Ningbao raised the corners of her mouth happily, smiling at the corners of her brows and eyes, brimming with joy all over her body, and asked while the iron was hot.
"So, when will we get engaged?"
Mrs. Xie finally got her son's response, and she couldn't help showing an excited and joyful smile. Hearing the little girl from the Jiang family's question, she couldn't wait to say.
"Heng, if you have no objections, I will go to Qingshui Temple tomorrow to choose a good day to set the wedding date, and then I will go to the palace to propose marriage for you and girl Ningbao."
The little girl of the Jiang family is so nice, if she doesn't hurry up to settle down with her son, Mrs. Xie won't be able to sleep at ease.
The marriage was bestowed by the imperial decree, and they went to Qingshui Temple to choose a date, all of which showed that Mrs. Xie attached great importance to Jiang Ningbao.
Jiang Ningbao was surprised and moved.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng glanced at the happy little girl, his heartbeat accelerated again inexplicably, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated: "Okay."
The marriage between the two was settled when the two sides met for the first time.
Although it was just a verbal order, after the marriage was bestowed by the imperial decree, the betrothal gift that should be given would never be less. This is the only wife of the son in this life, and Mrs. Xie attaches great importance to it.
At noon, Mrs. Xie kept Jiang Ningbao for lunch, and had a happy lunch. When she left, Mrs. Xie gave Jiang Ningbao a set of precious jewelry, and asked her son to send him back home with a smile.
The ultimate goal is to let everyone know that her son is already married.
I believe that the little girl of the Jiang family will seize this opportunity.
In the course of noon, all the members of Dingguo's mansion knew that the weak and beautiful woman standing beside the Duke today was the ex-fiancee of the Shizi, Miss Jiang Si.
According to Steward Zhao, the old lady has already spoken that Miss Jiang Si will be their future mistress of Dingguo Duke's Mansion.
At this moment, the servants of Duke Dingguo's mansion exploded, and they all gasped.
future hostess.
Doesn't it mean that the person Miss Jiang Si is going to marry is the Duke of the State.
Only the black-clothed personal guards brought back by Duke Dingguo remained calm. They had a premonition at the gate of the mansion, and what the old lady said now was only a fulfillment.
Miss Jiang Si was born in the Changningbo Mansion. She is beautiful and has a good temperament, which is very suitable for the Duke.
Maybe some people privately commented that Miss Jiang Si was the son's ex-fiancée and was not worthy of the Duke, but both of them have divorced and their marriages have nothing to do with each other, so it is normal to discuss marriage again.
In the hearts of the black-clothed personal guards, the Duke is their real master, and now that the master's life-long event has been settled, they are too late to be happy.
Who cares about what is not in accordance with the etiquette.
There are so many servants in the huge Duke Ding's Mansion, most of them are divided into two factions, one faction loyal to the Duke, and the other faction loyal to the son. When the news came out, some people were happy and some were worried.
Xie Shizi is the only heir of Duke Ding's mansion, and there are many people who follow and are loyal to him. A few days ago, they heard that Miss Jiang Si, who was retired by the prince, said that she wanted to marry Duke Ding.
There are so many women who want to marry Ding Guogong, but it doesn't end in failure in the end.
But it's different now.
Miss Jiang Si is the daughter-in-law personally appointed by the old lady, and she is only waiting to be hired to write the marriage letter.
On this day, Xie Shizi made an engagement, and the Duke's marriage was also settled.
When Miss Jiang Si marries into the Duke's mansion and gives birth to the Duke's heir, there will be no place for the eldest son.
But at this time, Xie Shizi went to Anyuanhou's Mansion to propose a marriage, but he has not returned yet, these servants who are loyal to the Shizi can only look aggrieved at the other servants in the mansion cheering happily, with stiff smiles.
Xie Shizi, who was missed by the servants, was on his way back home, and his newly released fiancée Yang Shuqing also followed him to Dingguo Duke's Mansion to meet Mrs. Xie.
Coincidentally, in order to leave a good impression on Mrs. Xie, Yang Shuqing and Jiang Ningbao chose the most precious wine to give away at the same time on this day.
One is a self-brewed medicinal wine, and the other is a sky-high priced health wine from Shangyun Winery.
