In the Dayue Dynasty, no one knew that Dingguo Gong Xie Heng was a posthumous child, a poisonous son-in-law whom everyone avoided.
When Ding Guogong was born, Mrs. Xie almost died of blood. It happened that an eminent monk passed by. He saw that Ding Guogong was born with a fierce spirit, so he took Ding Guogong away in person, and Mrs. Xie saved his life.
What is even more strange is that the eminent monk did not ask Duke Dingguo to escape into the Buddhist gate to eliminate evil spirits. Instead, he gathered ten eminent monks and spent ninety-nine and eighty-one days to consecrate and bless him with a string of red sandalwood beads to wear on his wrist. It was only then that he barely suppressed the evil spirit all over him.
When Dingguo was twelve years old, he left home alone to go to the frontier battlefield. In just a few years, he made great military exploits, which made the enemy fearful and did not dare to attack. He was named the youngest hereditary Dingguo by the late emperor. He became the God of War in the hearts of the people in the Dai Viet Dynasty.
It's a pity that other than a masculine man, this Dingguo Duke still can't get close to women, even his mother, Mrs. Xie, can't get close to him.
When Ding Guogong reached the marriageable age, there were many noble women who did not believe in fate and frantically chased Ding Guogong, but the result was not good.
Dead or sick, no woman dared to approach this Duke Ding.
Absolute power is important, but life is even more important.
Life is gone, what's the use of power.
Now all the servants around Duke Ding are soldiers who have been on the battlefield, they are full of masculinity, but they need to be replaced every few days, and they cannot stay with Duke Ding for a long time.
All this is a well-known fact.
Now Jiang Ningbao, who is weak and weak like a gust of wind, insists that he will marry Ding Guogong. Everyone present is secretly guessing that the fourth girl is so mad because of the resignation of the eldest son. .
"No!" Mrs. Jiang regained her composure and slammed the table.
Duke Ding, Xie Heng, is only in his twenties but has a high position and authority, but compared to getting married, he will die. No, maybe he doesn’t need to marry. As long as he contacts Duke Ding for a few days, he might be gone. In addition to the relationship with Changning Bo's Mansion, it is better to be the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, so that the relationship between the two mansions can be further improved.
A flash of panic flashed across Jiang Mingyao's usually cold face.
Fourth sister... Why is fourth sister so confused, joking about her own life, she quickly grabbed Jiang Ningbao's hand and held it tightly, persuading her nervously and tactfully.
"Fourth sister, don't talk nonsense, Duke Ding is not something we can afford."
"Grandmother, it's a matter of granddaughter's life. Granddaughter just wants to be willful for a while, please grandma." Jiang Ningbao gently pushed Jiang Mingyao's hand away, raised her delicate face with a firm expression.
This is her choice after careful consideration.
When Housekeeper Zhao was talking just now, Jiang Ningbao roughly read this rebirth article. The heroine Yang Shuqing was not a good person after her rebirth. They retaliated one by one, and all of them ended up miserable.
In the book, Jiang Ningbao and the heroine Yang Shuqing had no intersection in their previous lives.
After the heroine was reborn, her fiancé was taken away, and Jiang Ningbao was blackened, becoming the biggest vicious female supporting role.
Jiang Ningbao will not and does not want to be this vicious female supporting role, but the male protagonist Xie Jingyi will definitely clean up the bad reputation of the female protagonist for seizing her fiancé, and the female protagonist does not want to leave a stain, so she is bound to have intersections with the male and female protagonists.
Since you can't escape, why not face the difficulties.
After being born in ancient times for 16 years and being influenced by the ancients for 16 years, Jiang Ningbao has a faint ladylike temperament all over her body. But the character that was cultivated in the bones of the previous life has not changed.
She was the one who was divorced, and she was the one who lost her reputation.
Being bullied to such an extent, Jiang Ningbao remained calm on the surface, but she already had an idea in her heart, and even the old lady didn't know what she was thinking.
Letting go of marrying Duke Ding is only the first step.
Whether Duke Ding would respond was not in her consideration.
As for the question of whether she would die, Jiang Ningbao slightly lowered her eyelids, who could beat her
"I never agree, don't mention this matter again!"
Mrs. Jiang was furious at Jiang Ningbao, who was not allowed to eat oil and salt. She swayed and leaned back on the grand teacher's chair with her forehead. The confidant maid Hong Xing quickly supported her.
"Mother, are you okay?" Mrs. Zhang gave Jiang Ningbao a hard look, stepped forward nervously, and patted her on the heart with concern.
Jiang Ningbao stood there motionless, except for her soft and delicate face, there was no trace of weakness in her body, just like a tough hibiscus flower.
It is opening gorgeously, exuding brilliance.
"Miss Si, Zhao can't make the decision on this matter, how about waiting for Zhao to report to the old lady before giving Miss Si an answer?"
After Mrs. Zhao was frightened, he calmed down instantly when he saw Mrs. Jiang's performance. Miss Jiang Si's suggestion was to say that Mrs. Zhao was not moved. , he took the opportunity to respond.
Compared with the son of the world, housekeeper Zhao loves the lonely and lonely father-in-law even more, and hopes that there will be someone around him who knows the cold and the hot.
Butler Zhao suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart for some reason, that Miss Jiang Si was probably not affected by the evil spirit of the Duke.
Such an intuition hadn't appeared for a long time after he stepped back from the battlefield, but this time it appeared suddenly, Steward Zhao glanced at this delicate and weak Fourth Miss, with a slightly dignified look on his face.
"Thank you, Housekeeper Zhao." Jiang Ningbao nodded calmly, ignoring Mrs. Jiang who was trembling with anger.
"Old lady, it is imperative for the eldest son to withdraw his marriage. Please think about it and give me an answer in two days. Zhao will leave first." After Zhao steward finished speaking, he cupped his hands and saluted, and hurriedly left the Changning residence with his people. .
Don't give Mrs. Jiang a chance to refuse.
"Evil, kneel down!" As soon as Steward Zhao left, Mrs. Jiang took a porcelain cup and slammed it onto the corner of Jiang Ningbao's skirt. With a bang, the porcelain cup shattered into pieces.
The tea splashed on her skirt, leaving little marks.
Jiang Ningbao pursed her lips, still standing straight, with a faint smile on her soft face, and a pair of extremely beautiful eyes seemed to flash with fire.
"Grandma, it's fine to retire, but my granddaughter doesn't want to swallow it. Duke Ding is the person my granddaughter admires the most. If she can marry Duke Ding, even if she dies, my granddaughter will have no regrets."
"Grandmother, please forgive your granddaughter's waywardness."
After Jiang Ningbao finished speaking loudly, she knelt slightly towards Mrs. Jiang, turned around and left the hall without looking back.
The maids and women in the hall lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath. The huge hall was so quiet that even a silver needle could be heard falling.
The old lady held her breath in her throat, trembling with anger, she stared at Jiang Ningbao's slender back as she left, her eyes were cold as if water would drip.
"This unfilial granddaughter is really going against the sky!"
Jiang Mingyao had been stunned for a long time, and her heart was complicated. She didn't expect that the resignation of the eldest son of the Duke's mansion would deal such a big blow to the fourth sister, and she actually had the courage to dare to contradict her grandmother.
The maid Hong Xing carefully brought over a bowl of Ningshen tea soup: "Madam, don't get so angry, drink some tea soup to calm down."
Mrs. Jiang took the tea bowl, and after drinking the tea soup, she calmed down.
"Mother, what about the fourth girl?" Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang quickly asked.
This is related to her son's future.
Mrs. Zhang can't do it if she doesn't care.
When Mrs. Jiang heard the eldest daughter-in-law mentioning this rebellious granddaughter, the anger that had just been suppressed burst out again.
She didn't like the soft and weak Jiang Ningbao, but now that Jiang Ningbao became uncharacteristically tough, the old lady only felt that her authority had been challenged.
Now that the Dingguo government has stated that it wants to withdraw from the marriage.
This granddaughter has no use value, and it will be difficult to talk about a good marriage in the future.
Mrs. Jiang narrowed her eyes, and waved away the maidservants around her, leaving only the granddaughter Zhang and Jiang Mingyao. She sneered coldly: "Si girl wants to marry Ding Guogong, let her go, anyway, her The marriage cannot be kept, I see what tricks she can come up with, except for the fifth-rank official position, you remember to ask for more compensation."
Da Furen Zhang's eyes flashed brightly when she heard the words: "What mother said is, but in this way, our uncle's mansion and Duke Ding's mansion will have nothing to do with each other."
In the final analysis, Mrs. Zhang is still reluctant to settle the relationship with the Duke's Mansion.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law, took another sip of the tea soup, and pointed her out in a calm and unhurried manner: "Isn't there still a Xie family? The fifth girl is sixteen years old, and her marriage should be settled. I think The second bedroom of the Xie family has a good candidate."
Jiang Mingyao was taken aback for a moment, her icy pretty face was full of astonishment.
Grandmother... Grandmother is trying to take advantage of Fourth Sister's resignation to marry her into the Xie family.
How can this be, how can it be
When Mrs. Zhang heard the words, she suddenly realized, and remembered that the second bedroom of Xie's family had a young master who had just turned sixteen and was not engaged, and he was a brother of the eldest son of Dingguo Duke's mansion.
As long as Yao'er is married, wouldn't she be indirectly related to the Duke's Mansion
The young master of the second room of the Xie family is a favorite, there are countless families who want to marry the second room of the Xie family, and the Changning uncle's mansion has no obvious advantages.
Now this opportunity has come.
"Thank you mother for your advice."
Mrs. Zhang squinted her eyes, her eyes were full of calculating light, she just took advantage of the fact that her niece was divorced to get involved in this marriage, anyway, the niece only had this little use value left.
Seeing the eldest daughter-in-law's expression, Mrs. Jiang nodded in satisfaction. The eldest daughter-in-law was the most suitable for her, unlike the condescending jealous wife married by the second child who would be angry with her when she was alive.
Thinking of the long-gone Yang family, and thinking of her brainless granddaughter Si Yatou, Mrs. Jiang's brain hurts badly, and her anger is not going well.
"It's not too late, you send someone to the Duke's mansion later, I'm tired, you go down."
Mrs. Jiang waved her hand, motioning Mrs. Zhang to leave.
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly saluted and left, couldn't help calling her confidant nanny, and whispered a few words in her ear, and confidant nanny hurriedly left Changning Bo's mansion.
Mrs. Zhang stood under the corridor of the mansion, looking at the back of her confidant nanny going away, a smile subconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth, she turned her head and smiled at Jiang Mingyao: "Yao'er, mother will tell you a good marriage. "
Jiang Mingyao looked at her mother's joyful smiling face with complicated emotions, thinking of the fourth sister who was hit hard after being divorced, and her temperament suddenly changed, a sense of guilt welled up in her heart. She pursed her lips, looked away, and coldly shook her head and refused.
"Mother, the fourth sister is pitiful enough, I don't want to step on the fourth sister to marry the Xie family."
Mrs. Zhang's complexion changed slightly, and she persuaded in a gentle tone.
"Yao'er, it's about your lifelong happiness, don't be willful."
Jiang Mingyao remained silent, staring fixedly at Mrs. Zhang with clear eyes, eyes full of rejection.
She knew in her heart that her mother was not only eyeing the compensation from the fifth-rank official position given by the Duke of Dingguo, but also wanted to squeeze out the final use value of the fourth sister.
Jiang Mingyao felt very uncomfortable when she thought that the good marriage that mother said was obtained by stepping on the fourth sister.
