Married To The Male Lead's Father (Translation)

CHAPTER 3

The blue and white twig incense burner on the shelf in the corner of the flower hall is lit with sandalwood, and the smoke is curling up.

Jiang Ningbao raised her eyes and took in the expressions of her Grandmother and Aunt Zhang. She lowered her eyelids.

It was exactly the same as the plot in the book. One of the compensations for breaking up the engagement was to become his sister. The eldest lady of the family.

If she was not the one whose engagement was canceled, Jiang Ningbao would definitely praise him.

The engaged fiancée has lost her parents, so Old Madame Jiang and the head lady of the Jiang family must have the final say on marriage matters.

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

The fundamental reason why Old Madame Jiang and Madame Zhang do not want to break off this engagement is that they do not want to lose the great support of the Duke Ding's Mansion.

If Jiang Ningbao becomes the eldest daughter of the Duke Ding's Mansion and enters the Xie family's genealogy, the Changning Bo Mansion will still be able to be completely tied to the big ship which was Duke Ding'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, Madame Zhang, the powerful person in the backyard of Changning Mansion, broke the silence.

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

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

She bit her lip and lowered her head, not daring to look at her 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It is good to be the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, but being withdrawn from marriage will damage a woman's reputation after all.

Even if she gets married in the future, she can't erase this stain.

The husband's family might not mind at first for the sake of Duke Ding, 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 Ding's name protect her for the rest of her life?

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

After some careful consideration, Old Madame Jiang was actually inclined to break off the engagement and get compensation, but it was hard for her to speak up. Madame Zhang's proposal was quite to her liking.

The old lady glanced at the uneasy Jiang Ningbao and looked away, feeling uncomfortable.

"We really should think about it in the long term."

As soon as these words came out, the old lady was undoubtedly slapping herself in the face.

She had just vowed that her granddaughter's reputation was more important than anything else, and before she had finished her cup of tea, she revealed what she had said was all hypocrisy.

The maids in the hall worked hard to reduce their presence.

Madame Zhang felt relieved, as long as her Mother-in-law agreed, her niece's opinion was not important. She turned to Butler Zhao and cautiously asked,
