Married To The Male Lead’s Father

Xiaoyu loves to eat cats. The engaged fiancée has lost her parents, and all major marriage matters must be decided by Mrs. Jiang and the head lady of the uncle's house.

Xie Jingyi is worthy of being the male protagonist in the book, and he can clearly understand the thoughts of Mrs. Jiang and others.

The fundamental reason why Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhang are unwilling to withdraw their marriage is that they don’t want to lose the great backer of the Duke’s Mansion. If Jiang Ningbao becomes the eldest lady of the Duke’s Mansion and enters the genealogy of the Xie family, Uncle Changning’s mansion will still be fine. In this way, he was completely tied to the big ship of the Duke's Mansion.

At this moment, Jiang Ningbao's personal wishes are not important.

Family interests outweigh everything else.

Jiang Ningbao lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip pretending to be worried. No one noticed the slightest movement in her eyes.

At this time, the eldest lady Zhang, the person in charge of the Changning House, broke the silence.

"Mother, do you think the fourth girl's marriage should be considered in the long run?"

Jiang Mingyao suddenly looked at her mother, a look of astonishment flashed across her cold and pretty face, as if she didn't expect that the first person to be shaken would be her mother.

She bit her lip and lowered her head, not daring to look at the fourth sister, for fear of seeing the shocked eyes of the fourth sister.

It is good to be the eldest lady of the Duke's palace, but being withdrawn from marriage will damage a woman's reputation after all.

Even if I get married in the future, I can't erase this stain.

The husband's family might not mind it at first for the sake of Duke Dingguo, but as time goes by, they will inevitably have other ideas.

After all, the fourth sister is not a bloodline of the Xie family.

Can Duke Dingguo protect her for the rest of her life?

Jiang Mingyao didn't believe that her mother hadn't thought about this.

After careful consideration, Mrs. Jiang was actually inclined to retire and get compensation in her heart, but it was hard for her to speak up. Mrs. Zhang's proposal was quite to her liking. The old lady glanced at Jiang Ningbao who was uneasy, and moved away unnaturally. eyes.

"We really need to take a long-term view."

As soon as this remark came out, the old lady was undoubtedly slapping her face. Just now she swore that her granddaughter's reputation was more important than anything else, so she didn't even have time for a cup of tea, so she retorted, and the maids and women in the hall tried their best to shrink own sense of existence.

Mrs. Zhang felt relieved, as long as the mother agrees, the niece's opinion is not important, she turned to Steward Zhao, and carefully probed: "Butler Zhao, the compensation proposed by the son, I wonder what the old lady Xie and the Duke of the country mean?"

Although Jiang Ningbao had been prepared for a long time, when this scene appeared, her heart suddenly turned cold. If her parents were still there, even if she didn't care, her aunt would not be able to decide whether to retire.

Butler Zhao couldn't see the meaning of Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Changning. He took another look at the fourth Miss Jiang who was silent, and sighed secretly. , bit the bullet and once again threw out another coveted compensation.

"My old lady agreed to the proposal of the eldest son, and at the same time promised that after retiring, she will give you an official position as a member of the Ministry of Industry. I wonder what the old lady would like?"

Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, was a fifth-grade official.

Mrs. Zhang's breathing was rapid, her heart was beating with excitement, and her eyes were turning green.

She gave birth to two sons and two daughters for the uncle, both of them are incompetent, the eldest son is of mediocre qualifications, a man in his twenties, who has studied hard for more than ten years, and has not yet obtained a degree in the examination, but the eldest son can inherit the uncle's mansion , the second son gave up the imperial examination this year, and his future is uncertain. The uncle went up and down to manage, in order to find an official position for him. In view of the face of the government, this matter is very easy to do.

But when the Peach Blossom Banquet happened, everyone was looking around seeing how the prince of the Duke's Mansion valued the daughter of An Yuanhou's daughter. The vacancy of the seventh grade that was originally agreed to be filled by the second son has not been finalized yet.

Mrs. Zhang was so anxious about this matter that she couldn't eat well or sleep well. Now that she has suddenly dropped a fifth-rank official position, how could she care about her niece? She wished she could immediately agree to call off the marriage.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and spoke eagerly.

"Mother, the Duke's government is very sincere, and we can't push it too far, so why not just agree?"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zhang showed an apologetic smile to Jiang Ningbao in embarrassment: "Si girl, don't blame auntie, auntie is also for your own good. The eldest lady of Dingguo's mansion is better than Miss Dangbo's mansion."

Jiang Ningbao didn't say a word, and looked at Ms. Zhang quietly with a pair of beautiful eyes. She no longer had the softness of the past, and there was a faint coldness between her brows.

She is really a good relative.

The benefit was to Uncle Ning's house, but her reputation was damaged.

If parents are still here...

Jiang Ningbao couldn't help but think of her 'gone' parents, her elder brother who was studying hard at Qingshan Academy, and smiled wryly in her heart. She and her elder brother Jiang Jin had a good relationship. In the rural examination, she strives to pass the exam and become a successful candidate, so that she can have a second wife and get married in a glorious way.

It's a pity that he didn't know that his sister was about to be annulled by her fiancé.

Thinking of the ending of everyone in the second room in the book, Jiang Ningbao's heart became even colder.

Mrs. Zhang felt guilty when she saw her, and she couldn't help but feel angry secretly. She thought to herself, this niece really doesn't know what to do. She turned to the silent old lady, and called out anxiously: "Mother!"

Jiang Mingyao's face changed slightly, her mother's behavior made her extremely embarrassed, she closed her eyes and dared not look at Fourth Sister again, she was afraid, she was afraid that she would see Fourth Sister's desperate eyes.

Mrs. Jiang's already wavering heart became even more determined. If she traded an unhappy granddaughter for the future of a direct grandson, anyone would choose the latter.

It's just that I can't agree so quickly, the old lady has the best face, she just slapped herself once, although it was an ambiguous long-term plan, but now she can't wait to agree to withdraw, there are still many maidservants in the hall, it is not good to let others down impression.

Now that the eldest daughter-in-law is acting impatiently, the old lady can't help but curse in her heart as a fool. Has her usual shrewdness and calmness gone to waste?

After not getting a response from the old lady for a long time, Madam Zhang's face darkened.

Steward Zhao waited attentively, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the calm face of the delicate and delicate Miss Jiang Si, and a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

Miss Jiang Si’s reaction was wrong.

After a long while, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but glared at Mrs. Zhang, and said sternly: "Mrs. Zhang, the fourth girl is my direct granddaughter. I have my own ideas about her marriage. Please be careful and don't be impatient."

Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale and she looked anxious. What did her mother mean by this?

"Grandmother, it's about granddaughter's happiness, why don't you listen to her first?" Jiang Ningbao suddenly smiled, her voice was sweet and pleasant, but there was no trace of anger or unwillingness in her words.

When Butler Zhao heard that Miss Jiang Si finally spoke, he couldn't help but feel curious.

The always docile granddaughter suddenly made a sound at this time, Mrs. Jiang's heart jumped, she frowned, and a look of displeasure flashed in her eyes, it was not easy to reprimand Jiang Ningbao in front of Butler Zhao, so she could only nod lightly: "Fourth girl, you explain."

Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly, and the cowardly and weak brows dissipated: "Grandmother, granddaughter can agree to withdraw. After all, marriage is a good thing for two surnames. Since the son of the world does not like granddaughter, granddaughter is not the kind of person who likes to force."

Mrs. Jiang felt relieved. Jiang Ningbao's words were so timely and saved the old lady from being in a dilemma. A loving smile could not help but appear on the old lady's face.

"Fourth girl, you can think like that, that's great!"

Mrs. Zhang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and her hanging heart fell to the ground. As long as her niece doesn't cling to this marriage, it will be fine. The marriage is bad, but she can become the younger sister of the eldest son. Can be dipped in light.

The most important thing is that her second son can get an official position from the fifth rank.

In the heart of Mrs. Zhang, this official position is already in the pocket of her second son. She never thought that Jiang Ningbao also has a literary and talented elder brother.

"Grandmother, my granddaughter doesn't want to be my son's younger sister." Jiang Ningbao pretended not to see Zhang's relaxed expression, looked up at Mrs. Jiang for a moment, and said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, the amiable Mrs. Jiang's complexion suddenly sank, and she almost threw the teacup in her hand at the fourth girl she didn't like, and said sullenly: "Nonsense!"

Madam Zhang glared at Jiang Ningbao, secretly angry that her niece was confused and didn't know what was good or bad.

The eldest lady of Duke Dingguo's mansion, even the princesses and princesses have to take a high look at her and lower themselves to make friends with her.

This niece is really blinded by lard.

Incredibly stupid.

Madam Zhang couldn't help but glance at Yao'er, who had a cold temperament and beautiful appearance next to her. It would be great if such a good thing happened to her daughter.

It's a pity that my daughter doesn't have such good luck.

"Butler Zhao, I can cancel the engagement, but I don't want to be the prince's sister. How about changing the compensation conditions?"

Jiang Ningbao was not frightened by Mrs. Jiang's anger. She turned her gaze to Butler Zhao, stroked the ruby ​​bracelet on her wrist, and asked softly.

Butler Zhao was startled and asked curiously: "I wonder what terms Miss Fourth wants in exchange?"

"The elder son is so powerful, he offered compensation that is irresistible. I have already understood his determination to retire, but I am not reconciled. Why should my fiancée abdicate for Yang Shuqing? She is low, so we have to lower her head and make way for her?"

"I don't want to, so I decided. It's fine to withdraw, but I want to marry Ding Guogong and step on their heads. Butler Zhao, the only compensation I want is this."

Jiang Ningbao looked at Butler Zhao with a smile and said slowly, but what he said shocked everyone present.

Butler Zhao was startled.

I thought that Miss Jiang Si was weak, had no temper, and could endure being renounced, but she was waiting here.
