Married To The Male Lead's Father

Chapters 139 -141

Chapter 139

But a pity, Yang Shuqing got happy too early and her satisfactory plan fell empty.

West courtyard of Changning Count Residence.

After Jiang Ningbao knew this news, her eyes darkened and her lips curved into a ridiculing smile. The first thing she did was to send someone to notify the duke to investigate this matter thoroughly. After knowing that this was Yang Shuqing's plan, she did not let the duke make a move since she already had a counter plan.

Actually, Jiang Ningbao understood that Yang Shuqing's little move was to disgust her.

If the old madam told her earlier, Jiang Ningbao would be lazy to mind this. It was common to see sisters getting wed on the same day. The first day of the fifth month was indeed an auspicious day. But the old madam actually spread this news just a day before her wedding, making others could not help from thinking about conspiracy and the likes.

Remembering the investigation the duke gave her, Jiang Ningbao smiled coldly. Indeed, the one who benefitted from this was the old madam.

"Lady, the first branch is too much! They actually change the fifth lady's marriage date to the first day of fifth month at this time, the same as the lady! Isn't it meant to disgust others?"

Chun Xi's expression was very ugly and her tone was filled with anger. Chun Le was also enraged.

Only Old servant Chen and Old servant Gao drank their tea calmly.

"Don't worry. There are still ways to counter this." Jiang Ningbao's pretty eyes flashed with a light. It was time for her oldest aunt, Madam Zhang, to return.

Madam Zhang schemed against her with all her heart, but she really loved and pampered Jiang Mingyao. She would never let her daughter be other people's stepping stone.

Old Madam Jiang's action cinfuse Jiang Ningbao.

Her, this granddaughter, would get married to Duke Ding Residence and the count residence would have Duke Ding Residence as their backing, raising their status drastically. Wouldn't the old madam be happy? Why would the old madam poorly treat her?

Jiang Ningbao recalled old madam's attitude toward the second branch these years and the suspicion in her heart deepened.

If her father was not the biological son of the old madam, the old madam should be even worse toward the second branch, but the old madam's attitude was different. She usually ignored them and there were times the old madam used them, but the messy matters in the second branch were not much.

Jiang Ningbao only put this all on the old madam being biased.

Sometimes, when one became biased, they would be unreasonable.

"Lady, this news had traveled throughout the capital, how can you turn the table?" Chun Xi stomped her feet, feeling fury lit up in her.

Chun Le nodded with a confused face.

The two old servants still sipped their tea calmly and it was obvious that they did not put this matter in their eyes. At the same time, this was also a test for Jiang Ningbao.

"I already knew the process of the whole matter. This was actually schemed by Miss Yang from Anyuan Marquis Residence. She found a sorceress with quite a famous reputation to 'accidentally' met Xie family's Second Mistress. Xie family's second mistress heard the sorceress' words. Young Master Xie Jinghui is blood related to the duke. As long as they get married on the same day, he could bask in the duke's noble aura and in the future, rise and have power over the whole country."
