Married To The Male Lead's Father (Translation)

CHAPTER 33

On this day, Jiang Ningbao was nestled in the courtyard and did not go to Duke Ding's Mansion.

The atmosphere in the Changning Mansion was a bit gloomy.

She heard that her uncle, Lord Chang Ning, who was sent to Qingshui Temple yesterday, was still unconscious, and the eminent monk could not determine the cause.

The backyard of the large mansion was gloomy and depressing.

Jiang Ningbao sat on the low couch next to the window lattice. She glanced at the busy servants outside and happily ate the strawberries sent by the Duke.

She felt that they tasted better than the strawberries produced in her own village.

Chun Le was embroidering a purse on the side. Although Chun Le was chubby, her fingers were very nimble in threading, and the embroidered patterns were beautiful and delicate.

Jiang Ningbao sighed every time she watched it; Chun Le's embroidery skills were so impressive.

"Miss, the rumors have been spread secretly."

Chun Xi walked in with a smile on her face and happily shared the good news with her Miss.

Jiang Ningbao was washing her hands in the copper basin next to her and drying them with a plain handkerchief.

When she heard Chun Xi's words, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a sharp glint flashed between her eyebrows.

"When the seeds grow into big trees, it will be time to harvest the fruits."

"Miss, will this rumor really work? The Lord suddenly fell into a coma. What if he really can't wake up?"

Chun Xi was unhappy and showed a hint of worry.

Jiang Ningbao smiled slightly and said firmly:

"If nothing unexpected happens, my uncle will wake up."

In the book, the heroine Yan Shuqing used her uncle's coma to orchestrate a major scheme and planned to frame Jiang Ningbao and her eldest brother, Jiang Jin. After learning of this from the book, Jiang Ningbao secretly made a plan and waited for the opportunity.

First, she used a nightmare to drag Zhang Zhan into trouble and drive a wedge between Madame Jiang and Madame Zhang. In reality, the main purpose was to use this incident to reclaim the benefits that her uncle had gained from her renouncing the engagement.

The fifth sister's marriage has been decided. Jiang Ningbao has no interest in ruining people's reputations, but her uncle's position as a member of the fifth-grade Ministry of Industry and Foreign Affairs, which he obtained through her reputation, must be discarded.

A sinecure is also a fifth-grade official position.

Her uncle was in a coma, and even doctors and eminent monks with superb medical skills could not determine the cause.

This is an excellent opportunity.

Isn't this a perfect reason for virtue to be mismatched?

Jiang Ningbao is not a soft persimmon. She had been holding back, just waiting for this day to come. Madame Jiang is unaware that her granddaughter has already secretly plotted everything for this moment.

At this time, a rumor was quietly circulating in the capital: Lord Chang Ning suddenly fell into a coma because he trampled on his niece's reputation to rise to power. His virtue was unworthy of his position, and God punished him.

The rumors were slowly fermenting. After learning about it, Madame Jiang of Changning Mansion tried to suppress the rumors but found she couldn't. It seemed that someone was secretly pushing them. Madame Jiang was furious but helpless.
