The afternoon sun is at its brightest.
The ex-fiancee, who wore a lake-blue long dress embroidered with white magnolia, had a delicate and soft appearance, clear and clear eyes, and the brows were full of grace, delicate and beautiful.
At this time, she was standing beside a handsome man exuding a fierce and fierce aura. Under the sunshine of spring, the two looked like a pair of lovers.
Xie Shizi did not expect that as soon as he returned to the mansion, he would see his ex-fiancee standing side by side with his adoptive father at the gate, but they were quite harmonious.
A flash of shock and surprise flashed in Xie Shizi's eyes, and the words of his ex-fiancee vowing to marry Ding Guogong appeared in his mind, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
After a long while, he slowly rode his horse forward, dismounted not far from the gate, lightly lifted his brocade robe, strode forward, and saluted Duke Ding respectfully.
"Meet my father."
When Jiang Ningbao heard Shizi Xie respectfully call Dingguo Gong Xie Heng as father, he couldn't help but linger on the two of them. One was fierce, handsome and powerful, and the other was cold, handsome and noble.
Equally outstanding, equally extraordinary, equally young.
Jiang Ningbao felt an inexplicable joy in his heart for some reason.
There is a nine-year age difference between the two. People in ancient times matured precociously, but they only became fathers in their teens. Seeing this foster father and son now, she really wanted to ask Mrs. Xie why she chose Xie Jingyi to adopt him to the Duke's knee.
Isn't it okay to adopt a two or three-year-old
But thinking of the book revealing that Duke Ding died in his thirties, and the male protagonist inherited the title of Duke of Ding, Jiang Ningbao suspected that there was an unknown secret in it.
The guards behind Shizi Xie obviously didn't expect to see the Duke who seldom returned to the mansion at the gate of the mansion, they all got off their horses and respectfully saluted the Duke from a distance, shouting together.
"I have seen the Duke!"
There was a young servant who followed Shizi Xie and saw Jiang Ningbao's appearance at the gate of the government office, and his heart was turbulent.
The woman next to the Duke is actually Miss Jiang Si.
Yang Shuqing in the carriage heard the fiancé outside calling "Father" and the guards shouting "Dingguo Gong" together, he was delighted, Dingguo Gong returned home from the western suburbs camp specially for the sake of his son's engagement.
It seems that Ding Guogong really attaches great importance to Xie Shizi.
Thinking about it this way, Yang Shuqing lifted the curtain of the car happily and looked into the distance, but who knew that Jiang Ningbao, who was smiling like a flower, was dazzling, Yang Shuqing's beautiful eyes flashed a flash of astonishment, the joy on his face suddenly faded, and instantly sank, There was a hint of hostility and coldness in the eyes looking at Jiang Ningbao.
Fourth Miss Jiang unexpectedly came to Dingguo Duke's Mansion.
The news of her and Xie Shizi's engagement today has already spread throughout the capital. Now that Xie Shizi is her fiancé, Fourth Miss Jiang has not given up on her fiancé. .
"Ginger Ningbao!"
Yang Shuqing lowered his voice, and said the name word by word, his voice was so cold and piercing that one couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
The suddenly chilly atmosphere in the carriage made Qianrong and Clinique, the maids beside her, bow their heads respectfully, their backs drenched with sweat.
As Missy's confidants and maidservants, they know better than anyone else how cruel and merciless Missy is, and even Aunt Tan, who has been favored for nearly twenty years, fell into her hands. gentlemen.
Now Miss Jiang Si is hated by the Eldest Miss, Qianrong and Clinique shudder, and it is foreseeable that Miss Jiang Si will end up miserable.
As soon as the eldest lady makes a move, she will definitely hit it.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng stared at his handsome and extraordinary adopted son without saying a word, thinking of the report from his personal guards, thinking of his mother's white hair at the temples, her eyes were tyrannical, and her body was surging with a strong sense of oppression. A strong evil spirit attacked Xie Jingyi.
The group of guards at the back saw that the Duke would suddenly attack, thinking that the prince had angered the Duke, they knelt on the ground in unison, their faces pale, and they suppressed the discomfort of the evil spirit attack, and the bean-sized beads of sweat on their foreheads kept dripping Falling, screaming in terror.
"My lord, please spare me!"
Yang Shuqing and her two maidservants who hadn't got off the carriage were also swept by Duke Ding's violent aura. Yang Shuqing's pretty face turned pale instantly, and she felt her heart suffocate. fear.
Duke Ding is terrible.
Just the momentum is scary.
Fortunately, Duke Ding only had a short lifespan of two years, otherwise, with such a terrible person living in Duke Ding's mansion, she was afraid that she would die suddenly.
Yang Shuqing couldn't help shivering.
"Father, I don't know why your son made you angry?"
Xie Shizi's tall and straight figure swayed slightly, and he was almost forced to kneel down in front of everyone, a trace of paleness and astonishment appeared on his cold and handsome face, he couldn't help turning his eyes to the ex-fiancee next to his adoptive father.
It was a strange feeling, Shizi Xie felt that his father's anger might have something to do with his ex-fiancee.
Jiang Ningbao looked into Xie Shizi's eyes, obviously understood the meaning in his eyes, raised a soft smile at him, and replied with the shape of his lips: It has nothing to do with me.
But he was amazed in his heart, as expected of the male protagonist, he could straighten his spine and stand as steady as a green pine under the majestic aura of the Duke.
When Dingguo Gong Xie Heng heard his adopted son's question, the evil spirit in his eyes once again condensed and rioted, deep and cold, the majesty between his brows seemed to be released, and he pressed hard on Xie Jingyi, his deep voice was as cold as a knife.
"Unfilial!"
"Unrighteous!"
The guards behind Shizi Xie had already turned pale, with cold sweat pouring out of their foreheads, and their backs were drenched. The Duke's aura was terrifying, but they admired the woman standing beside him calmly even more.
Unfilial... Unrighteous...
These four words pierced Shizi Xie's heart like a sharp knife, his whole body trembled, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly remembered that he had knelt in the Rongxi Hall and begged his grandmother to agree to withdraw his marriage. It seems that this incident should have angered his adoptive father.
No wonder the adoptive father would return home at this time.
Unrighteous…
Xie Shizi raised his head and looked at the slender and beautiful woman with a quiet smile beside his adoptive father again, it was her!
The adoptive father is seeking justice for her!
Xie Shizi was also straightforward, knowing the reason for his adoptive father's anger, he knelt down straight with a bang.
"Please punish my father."
The guards behind him were stunned.
Why did Shizi admit it.
If it gets out, wouldn't it mean that the son's official career will be cut off.
Chunxi, Zhao Steward and others were fortunate enough to watch this scene.
Especially Chunxi, who did not expect to see Shizi Xie kneel down and admit his mistake one day, he was so happy that he couldn't help showing a little bit in his eyes.
Butler Zhao's eyes were indifferent.
In his opinion, the son of the world is really unfilial, the old lady is not in good health, but he still kneels down to persecute the old lady.
Jiang Ningbao raised her eyebrows, and looked calmly at Shizi Xie who was kneeling on his knees not far away, secretly said, this male protagonist is decisive, not quibbling, and impeccable in other aspects, but he broke his promise when dealing with his ex-fiancee. ungrateful.
It was indeed as Duke Ding Xie Heng said.
Unrighteous.
Jiang Ningbao didn't sympathize with him at all, he just felt happy.
Now she is a little curious about how the Dingguo Guild will punish Xie Shizi. If she remembers correctly, Xie Shizi is the commander of the sixth-rank and five-city soldiers and horses, and is responsible for the security of the capital.
In this way, the scope of punishment is greatly reduced.
"Fifty rod punishment, kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days as a punishment." Dingguo Gong Xie Heng saw that his adopted son did not quibble and directly admitted his mistake, restrained the deterrence and evil spirit on his body, and said the punishment in a cold tone.
If it weren't for the important position of the adopted son, the punishment would definitely not be so light.
As soon as the punishment came out, Xie Shizi felt relieved and bowed his head respectfully: "Son, accept the punishment!"
Jiang Ningbao still watched Dingguogong's punishment calmly, without even moving his eyebrows. Unfortunately, this is the scope of Dingguogong's mansion. Except for the people brought by the heroine Yang Shuqing, no other officials and carriages passed by.
The hero is lucky.
However, today is the great day of Xie Shizi's engagement, but he was punished fifty times by Ding Guogong Xie Heng. When he saw blood on the happy day, he was happy just thinking about it.
Jiang Ningbao stared at the carriage not far away with the corner of the curtain lifted, and a very faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Yang Shuqing probably couldn't sit still this time.
As Jiang Ningbao expected, Yang Shuqing in the carriage became weak after the tyrannical aura disappeared. Before she could calm down, she was caught off guard when she heard Duke Ding coldly reprimand Xie Shizi for being unfilial and unrighteous.
My heart sank suddenly.
Unfilial and unrighteous... How could her fiancé be charged with such a crime.
Before she could think about it, she heard Duke Ding's punishment again. Yang Shuqing's eyes went dark for a while, and she almost fainted. Today is the day of her engagement, but her fiancé will be sentenced to fifty rods.
Once it gets out, she doesn't know how much dirty water she will be splashed with.
Especially in the days when she encouraged the son to specially bring her to visit Mrs. Xie.
Yang Shuqing was anxious, before the two maidservants could react, she was already in a state of anxiety, opened the curtain of the car and jumped off the carriage, and rushed to Xie Jingyi's side with the corner of her skirt, panting slightly short of breath.
"My lord, this is slander, you cannot admit punishment."
This admission of punishment is not admitting that he is unfilial and unrighteous.
Yang Shuqing can't let her fiancé bear this unwarranted crime, and she can't spread the reputation of being a nuisance to her husband. After all, it's not a good thing for a fiancé to see blood just after getting engaged.
When Jiang Ningbao first saw Yang Shuqing rushing to Xie Jingyi from the carriage, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. For this newly married couple, one was wearing a dark red silver thread woven brocade robe, and the other was also a dark red embroidered peony dress.
People who don't know the inside story must think that the two have a good heart.
But Jiang Ningbao, who read the plot in the book, knew that all of this was Yang Shuqing's idea and Xie Jingyi's cooperation.
Xie Shizi didn't expect his fiancée to come over suddenly to stop him, a look of astonishment appeared on his handsome face, he pursed his thin lips, and said calmly.
"Shu Qing, I did something wrong and deserve to be punished."
"I don't believe it. Unfilial and unrighteous. This is an unwarranted crime. I only know that you respect the old and respect the elderly. Brothers and friends are respectful. How can you be unfilial and unrighteous?"
Yang Shuqing took a deep breath, regained his usual calmness, glanced at the surrounding guards, and said loudly.
Kneeling on the ground, Xie Shizi, who was still handsome and extraordinary, closed his eyes and let out a low drink.
"Shu Qing, stop asking!"
Yes, before he fell in love with Shu Qing, he really respected and respected the elderly as she said, brothers and friends were respectful, and the scenery was beautiful, but since he realized that Shu Qing was a daughter and understood his feelings for Shu Qing, because She said that she didn't want to be a concubine, but only wanted to be a couple for the rest of her life.
Therefore, he resolutely rescinded the marriage contract he had made since he was a child for her, breaking his promise and being ungrateful, which is unrighteous.
He knelt down for her and forced the old lady to agree to withdraw the marriage, which was unfilial.
What the adoptive father said was right, he was indeed unfilial and unrighteous.
He just wanted to bear the charge by himself, and he didn't want the woman he liked to feel guilty after learning the inside story.
When Yang Shuqing was drunk by Shizi Xie, her eyes couldn't help turning red. She bit her lip in grievance, took a deep look at him, and said stubbornly: "My lord, I'm sorry, I just want to seek justice for you."
After finishing speaking, Yang Shuqing cast her eyes on Jiang Ningbao, who was standing gracefully beside Duke Ding, and naturally ignored Jiang Ningbao's position. She suppressed the surging hatred in her heart, and questioned him word by word.
"Miss Jiang Si, all of this is your revenge, right? Xie Shizi abandoned you and chose me, so you label Shizi as unfilial and unrighteous. I would like to ask, what is unfilial and unrighteous about Shizi?" righteous?"
As soon as she said this, the guards behind Shizi Xie pricked up their ears.
In fact, they also want to know why such a fair person as the Duke of the State would say that the son is not filial and righteous.
Jiang Ningbao looked at the upright and righteous Yang Shuqing indifferently, and felt amused in his heart. It's not because of her that Xie Shizi is unfilial and unrighteous.
At this time, it was really ridiculous to pick her as a soft persimmon to question. Jiang Ningbao raised her hand and brushed the hair next to her ear, looked sideways at Dingguo Gong Xie Heng's handsome side face, and chuckled lightly.
"Miss Yang, why is the son so unfilial? Why don't you ask the Duke, why do you question me like this?"
"My lord, don't you think so?"
Jiang Ningbao's voice is delicate and soft, mellow and pleasant, like a spring breeze blowing on the face, it is quite comfortable to hear.
Is this Yang Shuqing too confident, or is her rebirth too smooth, with a sense of superiority, she can't bear the slightest grievance, once anyone wrongs her, she will definitely pay back a hundred times.
Xie Shizi is smart, he wants to admit punishment and protect Yang Shuqing.
But Yang Shuqing was relentless, and pointed the finger at her. Could it be that she thought that she liked Xie Shizi, and deliberately framed Xie Shizi in front of Ding Guogong, so she was so strong.
What a pig mate.
"It is unfilial to kneel down and persecute the elders in order to retire."
Duke Dingguo Xie Heng frowned, his voice was cold and stern, with unquestionable majesty, this was the first time he saw a woman whom his adopted son Xinyue had, and she seemed to be a woman who couldn't bear the slightest grievance.
No wonder the adopted son, who has always been calm and thoughtful, knelt down and forced his mother to agree to withdraw from the marriage. It turned out that the root cause was this woman.
Duke Dingguo Xie Heng's breath suddenly condensed, and everyone felt a strong sense of oppression in an instant, and it disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Yang Shuqing's heart trembled, and her face turned pale.
She suddenly remembered that Shizi's servant had said that Shizi knelt outside the old lady's yard for a day and a night in order to get the old lady to agree to withdraw the marriage. When she learned about it, she was moved and happy.
Now that I think about it, it is really unfilial to force the elders.
It turned out that the real culprit was her.
Yang Shuqing was dripping with cold sweat, bit her lower lip tightly, and was speechless for a moment. What Ding Guogong said was the truth, and she couldn't do it even if she tried to force it, it would only damage her reputation.
"Miss Yang, Mr. Xie knelt down and forced his elders because of your unwillingness to be a concubine. He has a deep affection for Miss Yang. Now Miss Yang has fulfilled her wish. Congratulations!"
Jiang Ningbao looked at Yang Shuqing's sudden change of face with a smile, and spoke softly, with a clear voice, like pearls falling on a jade plate, and everyone could hear the irony in the words "I don't want to be a concubine" and "Congratulations".
The people present looked at Yang Shuqing with a strange look in their eyes, and at the same time, they were a little disappointed with the following Shizi Xie.
"Shu Qing, don't say any more, I am willing to accept the punishment."
The punishment of fifty sticks and kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days is already the lightest punishment.
Xie Shizi frowned, and his thin lips were tightly pressed into a line, not wanting his fiancée to continue, so he stopped him again, this time his voice was a little more stern.
Yang Shuqing was hurt by the son's harsh tone, and he had never spoken of her so harshly during the two years of acquaintance, Yang Shuqing suddenly felt a little cold in his heart.
She stood up for the son, but the son didn't appreciate it.
Yang Shuqing took a deep breath, but when she thought that she had made Shizi bear the charge of unfilial piety, she couldn't help feeling moved and guilty, and the grievance disappeared, and a cold light flashed in her eyes looking at Jiang Ningbao.
"Grandpa, may I ask if your claim that the son is unrighteous is related to Miss Jiang Si's resignation?"
Yang Shuqing straightened his back, like a plum blossom standing proudly in the wind and snow, facing Duke Shangding's evil eyes without fear.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng looked at his adopted son's fiancée indifferently, frowned, and did not deny it.
"Yes."
Yang Shuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a stern light flashed between her brows, she didn't expect that it was really related to Jiang Ningbao, she sneered in her heart, and turned her gaze to Jiang Ningbao.
This time, she finally found out that something was wrong.
Jiang Ningbao, a soft and weak woman, stood beside Ding Guogong with ease. Yang Shuqing's eyes changed slightly, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
"My lord, leave this to me to explain." Jiang Ningbao's eyes moved, and she spoke softly.
Duke Ding looked at her for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Okay."
Jiang Ningbao chuckled, her brows were full of beauty, she glanced lightly at Xie Shizi's handsome face that suddenly changed color, and then looked at the heroine Yang Shuqing, the corners of her lips slowly raised, her smile became more charming and charming.
"Miss Yang wants to know why it is unrighteous for the eldest son to withdraw from the marriage. I will tell you the reason now."
As soon as the words came out, everyone present listened with pricked ears.
Only Xie Jingyi took a deep look at his ex-fiancée, and he found that every time he saw her, he would be amazed, as if she had been washed away, with outstanding demeanor and dazzling.
On this day, he and Shu Qing got married, and she also stood with her tall and handsome adoptive father, giving him the feeling that a beauty deserves a hero.
Xie Jingyi lowered his eyes.
He suddenly realized that he couldn't understand this ex-fiancée. Did she really want to marry his adoptive father, or was she not reconciled and just wanted to marry to Duke Ding's mansion to take revenge on him
"Miss Jiang Si, please tell me." Yang Shuqing suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and looked at her coldly.
"Miss Yang, I'm here today to talk about the ins and outs of my engagement to Shizi Xie, and let everyone comment on it." Jiang Ningbao spoke unhurriedly, his eyes swept over everyone present, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
With Ding Guogong as a witness, Xie Jingyi dare not deny it.
Her Jiang Ningbao is not a soft persimmon, she can be kneaded at will.
Yang Shuqing gave her such a good opportunity, of course Jiang Ningbao would not miss it.
"When I was three years old, my mother rescued Mrs. Xie's second wife and six-year-old Xie Shizi who had been robbed on the way back from offering incense in the temple. Mrs. Xie was grateful for my mother's life-saving grace and proposed marriage at that time. My mother saw that Xie Shizi is smart, so she agreed to this marriage, exchanged Geng notes, and wrote a notarized marriage certificate."
Jiang Ningbao succinctly revealed the inside story of the marriage that year.
Her tone was very calm, without the slightest ups and downs, as if she was talking about other people's affairs, but it touched the heartstrings of everyone present. They did not expect that there was such an inside story about the marriage between Shi Zi and Miss Jiang Si.
Ding Guogong did not wrong the son, the son who has always been a glorious son is indeed unfilial and unrighteous.
It was Xie's family who proposed the marriage, and it was Shizi Xie who withdrew the marriage.
Fourth Miss Jiang is so innocent.
"Miss Jiang Si, this is just your one-sided statement, who knows the truth?" Yang Shuqing's palms were sweating, his face sank like water, and he smiled coldly.
Jiang Ningbao smiled, as expected of the heroine of Rebirth and Revenge, she was really strong in her heart, she shifted her gaze to the hero Xie Jingyi, and said lightly: "Is it true or not, Ms. Yang, why don't you ask Mr. Xie?"
"What Miss Jiang Si said is true."
A deep and cold voice sounded, Xie Jingyi knew that his reputation would plummet if he admitted it, but facts are facts, and he cannot be allowed to confuse right and wrong with black and white.
The blood on Yang Shuqing's face finally disappeared. Qingli's face was full of astonishment and disbelief. It was obviously difficult to accept the result, and she couldn't help taking a step back.
"No, I don't believe it."
Yang Shuqing finally came to her senses at this time, she fell into Jiang Ningbao's design.
What a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
Her fiancé's reputation, her reputation, was ruined because of her, everything was ruined.
Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly, and her tone was extremely soft: "Miss Yang, Mrs. Xie has been charged with unfilial piety and unrighteousness for you. This friendship is really enviable and moving."
"Miss Yang, I believe that you will not disappoint Shizi Xie's affection. After all, you once told me that Shizi Xie is the dragon and phoenix among men, and there are countless noble daughters who admire him, and you are no exception."
"Now, Ms. Yang has fulfilled her wish. I am here to wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years."
Jiang Ningbao always had a smile on her face, she was not sad or unwilling at all, and she also sincerely wished them. This kind of demeanor made people look at her high.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng next to him glanced at the little girl, and the cold and hard lines on his face softened a bit.
The little girl is lively.
Little did he know that Jiang Ningbao was secretly regretting that the big news that Yang Shuqing and Xie Jingyi had been secretly dating for more than two years could not be revealed, otherwise Yang Shuqing would bite back, and it would not be too late to reveal it again in the future. He couldn't eat fat in one go. Today's revelation is enough Let Xie Jingyi's good reputation plummet.
As Xie Jingyi's fiancée, Yang Shuqing was not in a good place either.
In ancient patriarchal society, people used to pin most of the faults on women, but Yang Shuqing, as the heroine, is not innocent, everything is caused by her.
Her rebirth changed the fate of many people.
Jiang Ningbao was quite happy in his heart, his dark eyes flashed with dazzling brilliance.
Yang Shuqing's face was earthy, and her back felt cold. She glanced at Jiang Ningbao who was not far away with a gentle smile on her face. The sun was shining brightly, but she felt cold and shuddered.
