Married To The Male Lead's Father (Translation)

CHAPTER 65

Old Madam Xie glanced at her son not far away, patted Jiang Ningbao's hand, and noticed that Mama Huang had already calmed down and brewed a pot of calming tea for her.

Jiang Ningbao looked at Old Madam Xie's open-minded demeanor and felt a bit frustrated. Noticing several pieces of purple sandalwood Buddha beads at her feet, Jiang Ningbao bent down to pick one up and saw that it had lost its luster and had cracks.

"Mother, this Buddha bead has cracks."

Old Madam Xie was startled and leaned in to examine the bead in Jiang Ningbao's hand. Indeed, there were cracks. Old Madam Xie seemed to recall something and forced a bitter smile.

She couldn't help but feel relieved that her son was already married.

If Ningbao hadn't purified most of the malevolent energy from her son, the Buddha beads might have suddenly lost their effectiveness... Old Madam Xie shuddered to think of the consequences.

Yang Shuqing, with a pale face and a racing heartbeat, forced herself to calm down. She quickly approached Old Madam Xie and asked, "Grandmother, what's happening?"

Could it be that one reason the Duke died young in the previous life was that the purple sandalwood Buddha beads, which suppressed the malevolent energy, had lost their effectiveness?

Yang Shuqing speculated wildly in her mind.

Xie Jingyi glanced at Yang Shuqing and frowned slightly.

Old Madam Xie selectively recounted part of what the monk had said back then. Yang Shuqing's eyes flickered, and she spoke to comfort her, "Grandmother, if the Buddha beads are no longer usable, we can go to Qing Shui Temple to ask for a new set."

Old Madam Xie gave her a deep, meaningful look. "Ah Heng's situation is special; we cannot ask for a new set."

Yang Shuqing showed surprise.

"Why?"

Old Madam Xie remained silent and did not answer.

Yang Shuqing didn't get a response and couldn't help but twist the handkerchief in her hands. She wanted to know the reason but didn't dare to ask more at this moment.

The Duke was surrounded by malevolent energy, which ordinary people would not dare to approach easily. All of Yang Shuqing's subsequent plans to undermine Jiang Ningbao had fallen through, and she felt bitter resentment.

Jiang Ningbao was truly lucky.

On second thought, since Jiang Ningbao had consumed the dish laced with infertility herbs and could never bear children, it meant that the Duke would only have Xie Jingyi as his son.

Yang Shuqing was extremely excited.

But thinking about the misunderstanding between her and Xie Jingyi and how they were now on icy terms, Yang Shuqing's excitement diminished. She decided to resolve the misunderstanding first and work on getting pregnant with Jingyi's child.

Jiang Ningbao silently picked up all the Buddha beads from the ground and noticed that they all had cracks. With a sigh, she walked to the Duke, who was surrounded by malevolent energy.

"I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Fortunately, I haven't been affected by the malevolent energy around you."

Xie Heng, pressed his thin lips into a straight line and softly comforted his young wife. "Actually, it doesn't matter if the Buddha beads are no longer useful. It will be just like before."

Jiang Ningbao pressed her lips together and tightened her grip on the Buddha beads.

At this time, the Duke, surrounded by malevolent energy, was not suitable to stay in the Rongxi Hall. He bade farewell to Old Madam Xie, and Jiang Ningbao quickly said her goodbyes and followed him.
