Married To The Male Lead's Father

Chapters 76 - 78

"Lady, this servant met the fifth lady's trusted servant girl on the way. She gave this servant a pouch, saying that the fifth lady gave this."

Jiang Ningbao moved to the side of the table and took the pouch. There was a letter inside. She took it out and the words were fifth sister's, Jiang Mingyao's, writing, graceful and pretty.

After seeing it, Jiang Ningbao kept the letter and her face flashed with a trace of complexity and then she sighed.

Jiang Ningbao was still that good lady with normal moral views, but her heart inclined to First Madam Zhang because she was her biological mother. Her biological mother suddenly got sick because of the sutra Duke Ding made, it was normal that her heart had resentment.

After a night, Jiang Mingyao thought it through. Fish and bear paw could not unite. The conflicts between first branch and second branch was not something that could vanish just because of a few words. Moreover, Madam Zhang agreed with all her might for the engagement annulment that time.

The guilt in her heart won.

Jiang Mingyao decided to do as Jiang Ningbao said, only contacting Jiang Ningbao a little, being a little closer than strangers.

Actually, Jiang Mingyao was just a sixteen years old little lady and was raised to be innocent by Madam Zhang. Her personality was good, but Jiang Ningbao had expected too high from Jiang Mingyao so she felt disappointed.

Moreover, she still did not know that her own mother was scheming for her fourth sister's dowry.

"Being just acquainted is good."

"Lady, are you alright?" Chun Xi closed the window and looked at her silent lady. She could not help but ask in worry.

Jiang Ningbao smiled and said, "Nothing, only sighing with emotion." After saying this, she started to eat breakfast. Today's breakfast was chicken shred bird nest soup, crispy fritter, vegetable filled stuffed bun, and fried dumpling. They were simple and delicate, making one's appetite grow.

Chapter 77

After eating breakfast, Jiang Ningbao changed into a goose yellow long dress to greet Old Madam Jiang in Golden Longevity Hall and then to send off First Madam Zhang in the main courtyard.

Because it was raining yesterday, the air was moist, clear and delightful.

She went to the Golden Longevity Hall together with Chun Xi. Old Madam Jiang who just had her breakfast heard that fourth girl was coming and the smile on her face stiffened. A moment later, she said, "Let her in."

Once Jiang Ningbao came in, she greeted Old Madam Jiang, "Greeting grandmother."

Old Madam Jiang's eyelid twitches and her tone was indifferent as she asked, "Fourth girl, come over and sit. Why have you come today?"

Jiang Ningbao sat below Old Madam Jiang and Hong Xing at the side poured her tea. Her plum lips pursed and the hand holding the cup tightened. Her eyes were a bit dodgy as it revealed a trace of fear. After a moment of hesitation, she bit her lips.

"Grandmother, granddaughter had a terrifying nightmare yesterday night."

Old Madam Jiang frowned and spoke unhappily, "Making a fuss about nothing. It's only a nightmare, who never had a nightmare?" This fourth girl came over early in the morning just to say that she had a nightmare. Old Madam Jiang's face was full of unhappiness.

Now, once she saw fourth girl, she would feel stifled.

Old Madam Jiang was clear on Madam Zhang's condition and until now, her heart was still thinking about it. She did not have a good sleep yesterday. Not only once did she feel it was fortunate that Madam Zhang stole the chance to open the Buddhist sutra, if not..... If not, the one lying on the bed would be her.
