Married To The Male Lead’s Father

Xiaoyu loves to eat cats. About a quarter of an hour later, Chunxi, who had gone to report the news, came back. When she saw several big boxes in the house, she felt a burst of joy on her face.

"Girl, are these compensations sent by the Duke's government?"

Jiang Ningbao collected her thoughts and nodded with a smile: "Well, Chunxi, sort them out and put them in your private treasury." After saying that, she thought about it, got up and went to the inner room, took out a red whip, and swung it around the room a few times. Down, the movements are natural, and the tiger is full of wind.

"This whip is still so easy to use."

Jiang Ningbao nodded with satisfaction. He had not used a whip for many years and his technique was not unfamiliar.

"Girl, why did you take out the whip?" Chunxi was busy sorting the things in the box, and his eyes widened slightly when he saw the girl flicking the whip.

"I thought about it and thought it would be safer to bring a whip with me when I go out in the future." Jiang Ningbao gently stroked the red whip with a faint smile on his lips.

She had promised her mother, Yang, that she would be a gentle and quiet lady, but now and then, when her mother comes back, she will definitely understand her.

Today, Jiang Ningbao was inexplicably shot with a short arrow by the young prince, and Jiang Ningbao felt a sense of crisis again.

Who knows if she will encounter danger again in the future, especially since she is already in the heroine's mind.

There is a whip beside you. When in danger, you can just swing the whip without having to do it yourself. No one knows whether this ancient man can touch porcelain.

Jiang Ningbao was not at all worried about her fragile and beautiful appearance.

It's too tempting.

Chunxi couldn't help but think of the scene when the girl was nine years old, easily knocking down a big tree with a whip. She couldn't help but shudder. She shivered and said cautiously: "Girl, you are so powerful. It’s the same without a whip, who dares to bump into you without having eyes?”

If he hadn't seen the girl suddenly take out the red whip that had been dusted for many years, Chunxi would have been used to the girl's soft and frail appearance, and would have forgotten how ferocious the girl was when she was a child.

At that time, the second master, second wife, and third young master were hiding it together, so no one knew the girl's secret.

"Be prepared for a rainy day and be prepared. With a whip, I won't get my hands dirty." Jiang Ningbao said unhurriedly and put away the red whip.

Chunxi: "..."

Girls are always prepared for danger in times of peace.

But when I think about it carefully, what the girl said makes sense. It is indeed not safe to go out, especially the arrow I encountered today. If the girl hadn't reacted in time, I might have been injured.

At this time, the master and servant never thought that the young prince's purpose was just to find Jiang Ningbao's true appearance.

Who let the young prince get used to being overbearing and not taking the ordinary path?

Main courtyard

Mrs. Zhang, who returned to the courtyard, became furious and kicked out the maids and women in the house, leaving only Grandma Yang alone. She threw the porcelain in the house to the floor with a scary and gloomy expression.

"Madam, please calm down."

Aunt Yang was frightened. She looked at the fragments, water stains, and heartbroken blood all over the floor. These were all fine porcelain, but Madam actually dropped them on the floor.

If the old lady finds out, I'm afraid she will be scolded for wasting money again.

"Snapped!"

A glazed vase was smashed to pieces, and the flowers and water in the vase were scattered all over the floor.

"Calm down, why should I calm down? When I think that the compensation for several large boxes is all cheaper than that dead girl in the second room, I can't swallow this breath in my heart."

Mrs. Zhang held her chest and panted heavily, roaring in a dark voice.

It was obviously the compensation that she and Prince Xie had negotiated, but it all fell into the hands of the four girls. The old lady was also holding back and pretending to be generous. When she left, the uncle even glared at her, blaming her for not doing so. I'm doing something good, but now I don't know which fox's house in the backyard.

Busy and futile.

Zhang's heart was full of hatred. She was also the legitimate daughter of a declining noble family, but her mother's family could no longer make ends meet, and it was common for them to live without food. A few days ago, her mother sent a maid over, saying that the family had dismissed many slaves, leaving only some who could not Dismissal maintains the dignity of the noble family.

Her parents' family was too shabby, and Mrs. Zhang had no face, so she always had to push her.

The decline of the Changning House was due to the fact that there had not been a fourth-grade official or above for several generations. There was no shortage of money in the house. The deceased second brother was a business genius and made the house tens of thousands of dollars and many hectares of fertile land.

At the beginning, they also valued this. The second sibling Yang wanted to live in separate houses, but Zhang kept telling the old lady in her ears that it was best for full brothers to live together, help each other, and benefit each other.

Turns out, she was right.

The life of the uncle's house is prosperous, and the food and clothing have improved by more than one level.

After the death of the second brother and his wife, the financial power of the house was in the hands of the old lady. Mrs. Zhang did not dare to blatantly subsidize her parents' family. She also had two legitimate children. The eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant, and the pregnancy was a bit unstable. Another one was married. The eldest daughter of the Hou family needed her support, so she focused on Jiang Ningbao's compensation, specifically requesting two large boxes of gold as compensation.

Now, because of the old lady's words, everything is gone, except for the dead girl in the second room.

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

"Madam, from the fifth rank official position to the uncle, the fifth girl is about to be engaged to the young master, the second wife of the Xie family. But something can't happen at this time. When the fifth girl's marriage is finalized, it won't be too late for you to take care of the fourth girl. "Mama Yang was afraid that Madam would be impulsive and ruin things, so she quickly advised her earnestly.

Madam Zhang's anger immediately subsided a lot when she heard Nanny Yang mentioning Yao'er.

Yes, the top priority is to settle Yao'er's marriage first.

Dealing with Jiang Ningbao will be postponed until later.

"Mother Yang, pick a few smart and pretty maids and send them to the west courtyard, so that people won't let people say that our Chang Ning residence is harsh on the girls in the second room, and there is only one maid around to take care of them." Madam Zhang said gloomily.

"Brother Jin from the second room is also eighteen years old, and he doesn't have a maid who knows how to deal with people. It's an oversight on my part as a aunt. Remember to send a few pretty and capable maids to his yard."

When I woke up from my nap, I heard laughter and laughter coming from outside the yard.

Jiang Ningbao frowned slightly, got up from the bed, put on a coat, walked out of the room, and saw four pretty maids embroidering purses and talking and laughing under the eaves.

"Who are you and why are you in my yard?"

The four pretty maids heard an unhappy question and looked up. It was the fourth girl. They quickly put away the sewing baskets in their hands and respectfully stepped forward and curtsied: "I have seen the fourth girl."

"The four slaves are the maids arranged by the eldest lady to serve the girl." One of the pretty maids with an apple face explained crisply. After that, the four of them introduced each other.

Each has its own strengths, making it hard to fault.

Jiang Ningbao's eyes flashed, it turned out to be the maid arranged by her aunt.

Three years ago, her parents were 'disadvantaged'. She and the maids, wives, and boys in her eldest brother's courtyard all found other jobs and left the west courtyard. Her eldest uncle never cared about her.

Now, four maids were sent to serve her.

I think there is something wrong inside.

But Jiang Ningbao couldn't refuse. As a direct daughter of the uncle's house, it was really too shabby to have only one maidservant by her side, so she refused this time and the next time.

If you want to buy someone from outside or arrange for someone to enter the house, you need to get the consent of Mrs. Zhang. Despite the trouble, success may not be possible.

Jiang Ningbao only thought about it for a moment, then left these four maids behind and wrote down their names.

"Baimei, where is Chunxi?"

Bai Mei was about to answer when Chunxi hurried into the yard. Seeing that the girl was awake, he hurriedly stepped forward as if he wanted to say something to her. Jiang Ningbao called Chunxi into the room and closed the door.

The four maids were left looking at each other.

The maid named Bai Mei pursed her lips and secretly put her ear to the door, but she couldn't hear anything. She could only go back to the eaves of the corridor to continue embroidering handkerchiefs and purses.

inside the house

Jiang Ningbao sat on the low couch, glanced at the unconcealed anger on Chun Xi's face, couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Chun Xi, what happened?"

"Girl, the eldest lady sent four maids over shortly after you fell asleep. Not only that, the eldest lady also sent four beautiful and enchanting maids to the third young master's yard, saying that they were the third young master's maids who knew everything about people. .”

When Chunxi finished talking, her face turned slightly red and her voice became much softer.

Jiang Ningbao's eyes darkened.

What a great auntie, she actually reached out to her eldest brother's yard. If the eldest brother hadn't been studying in Qingshan at this time, she might have wanted to destroy him.

At this time, Jiang Ningbao was extremely fortunate that after leaving the filial piety period, her eldest brother entered Qingshan Academy with the help of her maternal grandfather's family.

If you stay in the uncle's house, how can you study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

"I'm sending a letter to my eldest brother."

Jiang Ningbao thought about it. His eldest brother once said in his letter that he would go back to his hometown at the end of this month. Now it seems that it is better not to go back to his hometown, lest the eldest uncle behaves like a monster again.

After Chunxi sent the letter, Jiang Ningbao stayed at home peacefully, ignoring the ups and downs outside.

…………

The restaurants and teahouses in the capital were very lively. People all over the capital were excitedly talking about Miss Jiang Si's appearance and what she said in front of the government office. They also mentioned Duke Dingguo.

"Miss Jiang Si is so grand. She said in public that Crown Prince Xie and Miss Yang are a perfect match."
