The next day, as Jiang Ningbao expected, Mrs. Jiang came, accompanied by Jiang Mingyao who was about to get married. Jiang Mingyao obviously didn't expect that before she got married, her second brother actually broke the head of the servant of the Ministry of Officials.
When Jiang Ningbao saw Jiang Mingyao, her expression was calm. She didn't know why Mrs. Jiang brought Fifth Sister over, but she and Fifth Sister were strangers.
Jiang Ningbao was sitting on a high position. She was wearing an apricot-colored long dress. She had a very beautiful appearance, her skin was as snowy as snow, and her jet-black hair was pulled up high into a bun. A few silk flowers are embellished, and small and delicate ruby earrings are worn on the earlobes.
It looks like a peach blossom in full bloom, glowing, delicate and beautiful.
When Mrs. Jiang saw such a fourth granddaughter, her eyes flickered with fire, because of her, the eldest son's official position was gone, the Zhang family was gone, and the Jiang family's hereditary title passed down from generation to generation was also gone.
"Grandmother... No, I should call you the old lady, Chunxi, show Mrs. Jiang some tea." Jiang Ningbao pretended not to see the anger in Mrs. Jiang's eyes, and said in a flat tone.
Chunxi replied crisply: "Yes, ma'am."
"Si girl, what do you mean, you don't even recognize your grandmother?" Mrs. Jiang was shocked and angry, trembling with anger, and angrily reprimanded.
Jiang Mingyao was silent, but she couldn't help but look at Jiang Ningbao with a trace of condemnation. After all, her grandmother is still a grandmother. Fourth sister... Fourth sister is a bit too much.
"Old lady, don't forget, our second bedroom has broken off the relationship with the Jiang family, and now you can only be regarded as my clan." Jiang Ningbao stroked the ruby bracelet on his wrist and smiled lightly.
"It doesn't matter if the relationship is broken, it won't change that I am your real grandmother." Mrs. Jiang's face was dark, and she slammed the crutch in her hand.
The eyes of the two collided, and Jiang Ningbao curled the corners of his mouth, looking at Mrs. Jiang without fear, just like Mrs. Jiang was sitting in a high position and looking down at her.
"Old madam, don't talk about these nonsense, I already know the purpose of your visit, do you have any money ready, old madam?"
Last night, Jiang Ningbao received the news that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials had woken up, so he asked Duke Ding to say hello to the Shuntian Mansion where Jiang Yue was imprisoned. .
This is Jiang Ningbao preventing the Jiang family from asking other people for help.
"You...you..." Mrs. Jiang met Jiang Ningbao's indifferent eyes, her face was extremely ugly, her chest heaved violently, and she was obviously very angry.
"I forgot to tell the old lady that if you want to rescue Jiang Yue, you need five hundred thousand taels of silver." Jiang Ningbao added meaningfully. The ruby bracelet is extremely eye-catching.
Five hundred thousand taels of silver...
Mrs. Jiang's eyes darkened, and her face turned pale with anger. This is nearly one-half of the Jiang family's assets, and these four girls dare to open their mouths like a lion!
Jiang Mingyao saw her grandmother panting rapidly, her pretty face changed slightly, fearing that the old lady would faint in a fit of anger, she hurried forward to support the old lady's arm.
"Grandma, please don't get angry."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Mingyao raised her pretty face, her expression was full of anger.
"Fourth sister, you... you are too much!"
The smile on Jiang Ningbao's face faded a little, the corner of his mouth curled up in a mocking arc, and his tone was extremely cold.
"If you think it's too much, you can leave now. Jiang Yue is just a dude. It doesn't matter whether he can be saved or not. Anyway, he will only suffer a little in the prison, and he will not die."
Last night, Ding Guogong told her that even though the Jiang family became an ordinary wealthy family, their assets have not shrunk at all, because Mrs. Jiang is her real grandmother. Well, as long as Mrs. Jiang is alive, those people will not touch the Jiang family.
Jiang Ningbao is not happy.
Unexpectedly, she broke off the relationship with the eldest of the Jiang family, and the eldest of the Jiang family still enjoys her protection, which is simply a great irony.
"If you want five hundred thousand taels, it's impossible!" Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath, slammed her cane hard, and looked at Jiang Ningbao with cold and dark eyes.
The second grandson's qualifications are mediocre, and he was rescued with 500,000 yuan, so he didn't even think about it.
Maybe she can go another way.
Jiang Ningbao seemed to see what Mrs. Jiang meant, and smiled faintly: "Old lady, I forgot to tell you that Duke Ding has already said hello, and no one will be able to save Jiang Yue unless Duke Ding's mansion comes forward."
"If you really don't want to give up half a million taels to save someone, in case he suffers in prison and becomes disabled..."
The blue veins on Mrs. Jiang's forehead were throbbing, she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Si girl, you are threatening me!"
Jiang Ningbao looked calm.
"You can think so."
Now it seems that Mrs. Jiang doesn't intend to save Jiang Yue with a hemorrhage. Jiang Ningbao secretly thought that it's a pity that Jiang Yue, the second cousin, has mediocre qualifications, but he is not small at causing trouble.
There is a great possibility that Mrs. Jiang will give up on him.
After all, people can't die, at most they suffer, their bodies are broken, and they are left with disabilities.
Now I am asking for help, probably for the Dongping uncle's house. Even if the Zhang family is expelled, the Dongping uncle's mansion is Jiang Yue's natal family after all. Now the Jiang family has no titles, so I can't afford to offend the Dongping uncle's mansion. .
The current Dongpingbo Mansion is different from the past.
Zhang Zhan of Dongpingbo's Mansion has already climbed up to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials secretly supported King Qin. Today's Zhang Zhan married the second daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials a month ago.
It stands to reason that Jiang Yue and the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials are also considered relatives, but the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is still determined to send him to prison... Obviously he has no intention of recognizing this relative.
After thinking this through, Jiang Ningbao suddenly felt dull.
"Madam, please go back."
Seeing the indifferent eyes of the fourth granddaughter, Mrs. Jiang couldn't suppress the anger in her chest, but she also wanted face, especially when there were other maidservants in this hall.
Suddenly, Mrs. Jiang's eyes fixed on the ruby bracelet on Jiang Ningbao's wrist. This ruby bracelet was given to her fourth granddaughter when she got married.
If... if that secret could be exchanged for...
As a last resort, Mrs. Jiang planned to bring this secret into the coffin, but now it is not allowed. Mrs. Jiang asked herself that she had not treated her younger sister's son's family badly.
"Si girl, how about we make a deal?" Mrs. Jiang suddenly said.
Jiang Ningbao didn't ignore Mrs. Jiang's eyes. She felt that Mrs. Jiang had an unusual affection for the ruby bracelet on her wrist, but she gave it to her for some reason. Could it be... she said indifferently.
"What deal?"
"I want to talk to you alone." Mrs. Jiang coughed lightly, and glanced sharply at the maidservants around her.
Jiang Ningbao was silent for a moment, and waved to signal the people around to back down, leaving the two maidservants Chunxi and Chunle behind, and then looked at Mrs. Jiang: "Old lady, you can speak now."
Mrs. Jiang asked Jiang Mingyao to go out and sit under Jiang Ningbao. She was dissatisfied with her fourth granddaughter for not letting Chunxi and Chunle retire, but she would not force her.
"Old lady, what is the deal you are talking about?"
"Si girl, do you know the origin of the ruby bracelet you are wearing?" Mrs. Jiang answered irrelevantly.
Jiang Ningbao's heart skipped a beat, feeling uneasy that a big secret was about to be revealed, she shook her head and said frankly, "I don't know."
Missing flashed across Mrs. Jiang's eyes, she took a deep look at Jiang Ningbao, and said, "It is the last relic that my biological sister gave me."
The relic... Mrs. Jiang's direct sister...
"Actually, in terms of seniority, I'm not your real grandmother, you should call me my great aunt." Mrs. Jiang revealed an amazing secret.
Jiang Ningbao was taken aback: "What, isn't my father your own son?"
She had guessed that her father was not born to her grandmother, but she never thought that her father was the son of her grandmother's younger sister, and her biological grandmother became an aunt.
If she remembers correctly, her grandmother's sister's family was degraded to slavery by the late emperor, and her family was confiscated and exiled. Her aunt and grandmother... and divorced, and left in less than a year.
In this way, Mrs. Jiang is very kind to her father.
Jiang Ningbao was silent.
Chunxi and Chunle on the side were so shocked that they couldn't speak, no wonder, no wonder the old lady would be so partial to the big house, it turns out...it turns out that the second master is not the old lady's own.
"When your grandmother's husband's family was confiscated and exiled by the late emperor, your grandmother was already a month pregnant. At that time, only my brother-in-law knew about it. In order to prevent the unborn child from becoming a sinful slave, he resolutely reconciled with your grandmother. Li, let your grandmother secretly give birth to the child and give it to relatives to raise."
"When I heard the news, I pretended to be pregnant... When the child was born, I took it over and raised it as my own. Unexpectedly, your grandmother died after giving birth to your father, so I only asked my confidant to give me a baby." Ruby bracelet."
Mrs. Jiang and her younger sister have a very deep relationship, but decades have passed, and the second son was killed by design than the eldest son. Although Mrs. Jiang feels sorry for her sister, her younger sister has an outstanding grandson.
None of her two grandsons have become successful, and now they don't even have the hereditary title of their ancestors. Mrs. Jiang hates Jiang Ningbao and her siblings to death.
Chunxi and Chunle were so worried that if the second master's life experience was exposed, what would the young master do, and the wife would not be able to erase this layer of stains, so people pointed out.
There was a law in the Dai Viet Dynasty that no imperial examination was allowed within the five generations of the sin slaves, unless the emperor pardoned him, otherwise, the eldest and young master belonged to the five generations...
Jiang Ningbao obviously thought of this, her face was full of seriousness, she kept paying attention to the subtle expressions on Mrs. Jiang's face, knowing that Mrs. Jiang was not lying.
She didn't expect her father to be the Queen of the Slaves.
Mrs. Jiang may be very kind to her father, and she is also benevolent. Even if the Jiang family was deprived of the title, Mrs. Jiang hated her brothers and sisters so much that they did not expose her father's life experience.
In fact, exposing her father's life experience also had a great impact on the Jiang family.
One is not good, and it is also the ending of confiscation and exile.
Even if Mrs. Jiang's selfishness is mixed in, Jiang Ningbao still has to be grateful to Mrs. Jiang for giving her father a clean background.
"I don't want to reveal your father's life experience, and even decided to bring this secret into the coffin after death, but now, I have to say it."
Jiang Ningbao understood the meaning of Mrs. Jiang's words, she pursed her lips, and said solemnly: "I understand, old lady, don't worry, I will let Jiang Yue be released, and I will also let out rumors to protect the Jiang family."
Mrs. Jiang used Jiang Ningbao's father's life experience to get the result she wanted, but she was not very happy. She nodded coldly to express her understanding, and then got up to leave. Her figure was slightly hunched, and she seemed to be much older.
Jiang Ningbao hesitated for a while, but got up and sent people out, and at the same time asked Butler Zhao to send someone to send Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Mingyao back to Jiang's house.
