Across a landscape screen, Duke Ding watched his little wife making tea gracefully with his eyes, and a softness flashed unconsciously in his eyes.
At this time, Mrs. Xie Er came in, followed by two maidservants in silk and satin.
Mrs. Xie Er was dressed in a luxurious dress, surrounded by gold hairpins and emerald jewels. She looked to be in her early thirties, with fair skin and bright facial features. resemblance.
"Madam Xie, please sit down."
Jiang Ningbao spoke with a smile, her voice was melodious and pleasant, her appearance was extremely beautiful, she had lost her frail temperament, the beauty of a girl, the first-time wife Jiang Ningbao was clean and sexy all over her body, her frown and smile were unique.
When Mrs. Xie saw Jiang Ningbao for the first time, her eyes flashed with shock and disbelief, even though it was rumored that Jiang Ningbao was born extremely beautiful, with a unique temperament, which was amazing.
But Mrs. Xie always felt that it was an exaggeration.
She had met Jiang Ningbao before, but at that time Jiang Ningbao was only twelve or thirteen years old, his facial features were weak and beautiful, and his whole body exuded a coquettish and timid aura, as if a gust of wind would blow him down.
Three years later, Jiang Ningbao's facial features are still exquisite and soft, but her temperament is completely different. Her gestures are elegant and her gestures are elegant and her smile is bright and charming.
Is this still the delicate and weak girl from back then
Mrs. Xie Er helped her temples, and sat opposite Jiang Ningbao, thinking of her own intention of coming, suppressing the doubts in her heart, with a kind smile and an intimate attitude, unconsciously making people feel sincere.
"Girl Ningbao, I haven't seen you for three years. Why did you split up with Aunt Xie? It was Jing Yi who did something wrong at the beginning. I scolded him already. Now I see you living like this after marrying Duke Ding. Okay, I'm relieved too."
A light flashed in Jiang Ningbao's eyes. This second Mrs. Xie was really scheming. As soon as she came up, she wanted to position her position as a junior, depending on whether she was willing or not.
In terms of status, she is much higher than Mrs. Xie Er, not to mention that she still has a first-rank imperial order from Duke Ding.
"Mrs. Xie, please call my Madam."
Jiang Ningbao's tone was indifferent, and he looked at Mrs. Xie Er's eyes indifferently, as if looking at a stranger, no, it should be said that he was worse than a stranger.
Mrs. Xie Er's smile froze, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, and the handkerchief in her hand was unconsciously clenched. This girl is actually a vengeful girl. As a result, she was even more worried that she would intentionally show up at Jing Yi's wedding. Play tricks on him.
"Ningbao girl..."
"Please call my wife." Jiang Ningbao interrupted Mrs. Xie's words without any explanation, and emphasized it again, her tone was uncompromising, and her eyes were faintly cold.
The smile on Mrs. Xie's face could no longer be held, a mouthful of old blood was choked in her throat, looking at Jiang Ningbao's unsatisfactory smile and tough attitude, thinking that she would bow to a junior who once wanted to salute her, this junior It was her son's ex-fiancée who divorced, and Mrs. Xie felt humiliated in her heart.
Forcibly suppressing the surging anger and dissatisfaction, Second Madam Xie swallowed her breath.
"The lady of the country said so."
Ding Guogong Xie Heng sitting behind the screen saw this scene through the screen, and a smile appeared on his stern face.
His little wife is not easy to bully.
"I don't know why Mrs. Xie came to the Duke's mansion?"
Jiang Ningbao picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and asked in a calm tone, thinking to himself, this second Mrs. Xie is really flexible, the anger in her eyes is about to overflow, and she can bear it.
"I heard that Mrs. Xie entrusted Jing Yi's marriage to Mrs. Guogong. I am Jing Yi's mother, and I hope I can help. Of course, I don't mean to distrust Mrs. Guogong, but as a mother, I have always hoped to organize Jing Yi's marriage in person, and I hope the Duke's wife can understand."
Mrs. Xie Er looked at Jiang Ningbao who was indifferent, and directly stated her intention of coming. Originally, her purpose was to persuade Jiang Ningbao to hand over Jing Yi's marriage to her, but Jiang Ningbao's change shocked her.
If she had known that Jiang Ningbao would have such good luck, she should not have ignored her during the three years of her filial piety, and should have come to comfort her son when he retired.
A trace of regret flashed in the eyes of Second Madam Xie.
"Mrs. Xie, I can understand your love for your son, but you are wrong about one thing. Xie Jingyi's mother is me. He has been adopted to Dingguo's mansion and is no longer your son. Madam Xie must be careful." Keep it in mind."
"If Mrs. Xie wants to arrange Jing Yi's marriage in person, it's not impossible, as long as you let the clan open the ancestral hall and put Jing Yi back under your name."
Jiang Ningbao looked at Mrs. Xie Er with a smile, and saw through her secret thoughts. If she wanted to arrange Xie Jingyi's marriage, it was fine, as long as Xie Jingyi was not the young master of Dingguo Mansion.
Jiang Ningbao's voice was soft and pleasant, without any ups and downs of excitement, just like her expression was calm, but her words made people vomit blood.
Behind the screen, the corners of Duke Ding Xie Heng's mouth curled up, and he stared at the slender figure with burning eyes. His little wife was so angry that he couldn't bear it, which made him admire him.
Chun Xi and Chun Le lowered their eyes to hide the smile in their eyes.
Madam's words are simply poking at the heart of Second Madam Xie.
Mrs. Xie Er's complexion changed slightly, the handkerchief in her hand was twisted to the point of being deformed, a forced smile appeared on her face, and she said lightly: "Mrs. Guogong is just joking, I am just a little woman of the Xie family, how could I Let the patriarch open the clan's ancestral hall."
Jiang Ningbao can't give birth, her son has a great chance to become the heir of the Duke of Dingguo, and of course he can't return to her side, but when he thinks that his son is called Jiang Ningbao's mother...
Mrs. Xie only felt humiliated and unwilling.
But she could only bear it.
"It's just a matter of one sentence. If Mrs. Xie really wants Jing Yi to return to her knees, my father-in-law can help." Jiang Ningbao said with a sweet smile and understanding.
This smile was rather glaring in the eyes of Mrs. Xie Er.
Second Madam Xie could only squeeze out a smile aggrieved, she didn't know how to speak, she was in a dilemma whether to refuse or agree.
If she refuses, what she just said is a slap in the face.
If she agrees, if Jiang Ningbao takes it seriously, then her son will return to her knees. The status and status are so different, how can she cut off her son's bright future.
At first, I thought that Jiang Ningbao was still the little girl who called her Auntie Xie coquettishly and timidly. As long as she showed a little concern, the little girl would agree to her request.
She really thought too simple.
Jiang Ningbao took Mrs. Xie's look into his eyes, curled the corners of his lips calmly, and asked with a smile, as if Mrs. Xie would not give up if he didn't express his position.
"Mrs. Xie, what do you think? As long as you nod your head, I can reunite you mother and child, and everyone will be happy."
Mrs. Xie Er gritted her teeth secretly, her face turned pale, and she cursed Jiang Ningbao for a long time in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask whether Jiang Ningbao was telling the truth.
She clenched her fists and took a long time to say a word.
"Thank you Madam Guogong for your kindness. Don't bother Madam Guogong. I take it for granted. Jing Yi is your son. I will stay away from him in the future and stop meddling in his affairs."
"It seems that Mrs. Xie finally knows who is the mistress of Duke Ding's mansion. I hope Mrs. Xie will keep her promise and not interfere in the affairs of Duke Ding's mansion in the future."
Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly, her tone was soft and slow, but what she said was like a slap on her face, which made Second Madam Xie embarrassed and embarrassed.
Chunxi and Chunle secretly shouted hello.
Behind the screen, Dingguo Gong Xie Heng smiled softly, his eyes were shining brightly, and the tenderness in his eyes was about to overflow, the little wife's fighting ability is really strong, it seems that he doesn't have to worry about the little wife being wronged after Yang Shuqing gets started.
The lobby was silent for a moment.
The goal was not achieved, the benefits were not obtained, and she was ridiculed by a junior. She was so angry that Mrs. Xie was full of resentment. She never wanted to see Jiang Ningbao's face, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left. Jiang Ningbao smiled lightly. Didn't miss the humiliation in Mrs. Xie's eyes before she left.
"What are you thinking?" Ding Guogong in a black brocade robe came out from behind the screen and sat quietly beside Jiang Ningbao.
Chunxi and Chunle retreated knowingly.
Jiang Ningbao poured a cup of tea for Duke Ding, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth: "Master, I heard that the second Mrs. Xie has been doting on Mrs. Xie for so many years, and the concubine's room in the backyard has become a decoration. I have been a newcomer before, I don’t know if this is true?”
Second Mrs. Xie repeatedly treated her like a soft persimmon, and in the end even frenziedly urged Mrs. Zhang to give her medicine when she returned home, it was unbearable.
Dingguo Gong Xie Heng heard Xian's understanding, a smile flashed in his eyes quickly, he took a sip of tea, and said softly: "It is true."
"Second Master Xie recently handled a major corruption case, and His Majesty decided to reward him."
Jiang Ningbao's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help leaning over to kiss his handsome face, and smiled coquettishly: "Master Guo, you really know what I mean."
"I think the Holy Majesty should reward Second Master Xie and other beauties in addition to rewards, don't you think so?"
The corner of Duke Dingguo's mouth curled slightly, he was also displeased with Second Madam Xie, Second Madam Xie stretched her hand too far, so he nodded in agreement: "Well, I will propose to the Holy Majesty."
Jiang Ningbao shook his arm happily, then kissed Duke Ding's lips.
The two were sweet in the house.
The Jiang family was gloomy.
Mrs. Jiang looked at the rather elegant four-entry house in front of her. She never thought that she would be kicked out of the Changning uncle's mansion when she was old. Became the old lady of a wealthy family.
Thinking of the faces of relatives and friends who came here before moving out of Changning Bo's mansion.
Mrs. Jiang blushed, her chest rose and fell violently, and she was panting rapidly. Hong Xing, who was supporting the old lady by the side, was extremely worried, and hurriedly relieved the old lady.
"Old lady, you can't be angry recently. The doctor said that you have hurt your spleen and lungs, and you need to rest well."
Mrs. Jiang is a life-saving woman, she took a deep breath, and asked concerned: "Hong Xing, Wu girl still stays in the house and refuses to come out?"
Ever since the accident happened in the family and the wedding of the fifth granddaughter was canceled by Xie's family, the fifth granddaughter became more and more silent.
Speaking of which, Young Master Xie Jinghui once said on the day he came to withdraw from the marriage that if the fifth granddaughter was willing to be a concubine, he would also accept her as a concubine.
But Mrs. Jiang stubbornly refused.
She can't afford to lose face.
The fifth granddaughter has a very good appearance and temperament. Maybe some princes have a crush on the fifth granddaughter. Back then, the fifth granddaughter participated in the flower appreciation banquet held by Princess Rui. According to the maidservant next to the fifth granddaughter, several princes of aristocratic families admired the fifth granddaughter very much.
Perhaps the fifth granddaughter has the opportunity to marry into a distinguished family.
Even as a concubine.
Hong Xing nodded, and said worriedly: "Yes, old madam, Miss Wu hasn't left her room for the past few days."
"Hasn't the big girl replied yet?"
Mrs. Jiang frowned, her eyes were full of displeasure. After this eldest granddaughter married into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion with a generous dowry, she never helped the family. Every time she asked her to help, she made no sound, she was just a white-eyed wolf.
Hong Xing shook her head: "No."
After a pause, Hong Xing added, "I heard that the eldest girl went to the Dingguo Mansion, and when she left, the guards of the Dingguo Mansion sent her back."
When Mrs. Jiang heard Hong Xing mentioning Dingguo Mansion, she immediately thought of the rebellious fourth granddaughter and third grandson who set up their own family, and her old face suddenly sank.
She suddenly remembered a mysterious letter she received two days ago, and she suddenly thought about it.
The fourth granddaughter is infertile, the relationship between the fifth granddaughter and the fourth granddaughter is not bad, and the fourth granddaughter is willing to help even the eldest granddaughter who has no feelings.
The fifth granddaughter was divorced, and she was given a mother-in-law like Mrs. Zhang. It is impossible to marry into a high-ranking and wealthy family as a regular wife. If she married a low-ranking family, she might be able to be a regular wife, but Mrs. Jiang was not reconciled.
Duke Ding is an excellent candidate.
