Married To The Male Lead's Father

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Nine

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."

Jiang Ningbao drank her tea and spoke the reasons in a manner that was not fast nor slow.

Chun Xi and Chun Le was stunned gaping.

Was Xie family's second mistress foolish? Getting married on the same day could let one bask in the other's noble aura. That sorceress was obviously swindling others.

"Do you feel that the sorceress was swindling other people?' Jiang Ningbao smiled as she looked at her two servant girls, knowing what they were thinking.

Chun Xi and Chun Le nodded.

"Do you know who that sorceress is? She is the famous Sorceress Xu in the capital. Xei family's second mistress would believe her words no doubt." Jiang Ningbao's eyes flashed and her lips curved to a smile others could not understand.

Sorceress Xu indeed had a little skills. She probably had been taught under someone and learnt mystical things. She traveled in between the rich and did bad things for them.

In the book, she was a knife that Yang Shuqing used against her enemies.

"So it's like this."

Chun Xi and Chun Le had a realization. They had heard of this Sorceress Xu so it was no wonder that Xie family's second mistress was tempted. But why did the old madam agree? Was it because of Young Master Xie Jinghui's future? But wasn't the lady's future better?

"So for this matter, I do not need to make any move, only teeling oldest aunt the schemes within and add some things inside, making the matter seem more serious. Just say that the duke's ominous energy was strong. It is fine for people with the Xie family's bloodline but it will affect fifth sister's fate. From noble to dying young. I think my oldest aunt will think of a way to postpone the wedding."

Jiang Ningbao smiled as she spoke.

The two old servants who were drinking tea at the side had a satisfied smile on their faces. This was indeed a good way. People respect and fear ghosts but place more importance on fate.

"This matter cannot be delayed. Chun Le, quickly tell this to Manager Yao. Let him spread this to my oldest aunt before the sky turns dark." Jiang Ningbao retracted her smile and ordered Chun Le.

Chun Le immediately nodded and happily went out in small jogs.

Old servant Chen and Old servant Gao exchanged glances and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes. Old servant Chent smiled slightly, "Jiang fourth miss, we have taught you all we know, it's time for us to leave."

Actually, they wanted to stay by Jiang fourth miss' side, but they were old and wanted to go back home to see their family even more. They only wanted to go back to their hometown and spend the rest of their lives there.

"Thank you for the lessons, two old servants. I will remember for my whole life. If the two old servants have any need that I can help, you can send someone to tell me."

The two old servants did not choose to stay and Jiang Ningbao felt that it was quite a pity. She rose and bowed to the two old serants to thank them for their lessons and gave out her word.

The two old servants smiled with appreciation.

Madam Zhang who was at Clear Water Temple had recovered quite nicely and she could leave Clear Water Temple. But for stability, Madam Zhang prepared to stay for a bit longer. Who knew that her daughter's wedding would be pushed forward and it was on the same day as Jiang Ningbao's, that pest's, wedding date. She felt unhappiness in her heart and silently felt dissatisfied with the old madam.

Based on what did her precious daughter get married on the same day as her orphaned niece?

Really unlucky.

Moreover, Duke Ding had ominous energy all over him, what if it attacked her daughter?

At this time, her trusted servant, Old servant Yang hurried inside the room and spoke some words to her. Madam Zhang's face immediately changed drastically, "Old servant Yang, quickly pack things up and return to the count residence."

That Xie family second branch that deserved death actually took her daughter to be a stepping stone.

Madam Zhang was originally dissatisfied with the change of the wedding date, and now, it related to her daughter's life. If her daughter was dead, then what does it matter if her son-in-law had influence over the country? It would only benefit others. The fire in Madam Zhang's heart was lit. She hated Xie family's second branch, and at the same time, felt mad at the old madam.
