Married To The Male Lead's Father (Translation)

CHAPTER 89

At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the first spring snow began to melt.

As the spring exam approached, Jiang Ningbao was busy taking care of her two delicate little ones and occasionally sending good soup and water to her elder brother, Jiang Jin. Life was very fulfilling for her.

"Madam, Second Madam Xie is truly outrageous. She actually blocked the eldest young master on the road with her niece," Steward Zhao suddenly rushed in, his forehead sweating despite the chilly weather.

Jiang Ningbao was in a warm room, playing with red pom-poms to amuse Qi Ge'er and Lin Ge'er. She frowned slightly upon hearing Steward Zhao's words.

"Steward Zhao, what happened?"

The incident involved Xie Jingyi, who was her adopted son. Jiang Ningbao was puzzled by Second Madam Xie's actions. She had previously warned her that Xie Jingyi was adopted and that she should not extend her reach too far.

Steward Zhao recounted the details of the incident.

It turned out that Second Madam Xie, in a fit of madness, had brought her own niece and blocked Xie Jingyi in the bustling streets of the capital. Not only did she publicly kneel and force Xie Jingyi to marry her niece, but she also used the opportunity to slander Jiang Ningbao.

A biological mother publicly kneeling....

Even though legally there was no relation once someone was adopted, such an incident could ruin a person's future. If not handled well, it could result in court officials condemning Xie Jingyi the next morning.

Xie Jingyi, currently the Commander of the Imperial Guard, was in charge of the capital's security and was a trusted confidant of Emperor Qian Yuan. He was also a thorn in the side of Prince Qin and Prince Jin.

It seemed that someone with ill intentions had targeted Xie Jingyi.

Jiang Ningbao's face darkened instantly.

Chunxi and Chunle, who were present, were stunned. Could Second Madam Xie really be so out of her mind to publicly kneel and force the eldest young master to marry her niece?

"Steward Zhao, don't rush. I'll handle this myself. Chunxi, Chunle, take Qi Ge'er and Lin Ge'er to Rongxi Hall." Jiang Ningbao narrowed her eyes and instructed in a deep voice.

"Yes, Madam."

Jiang Ningbao went to her inner chamber to tidy up her appearance. Then, accompanied by Steward Zhao and a large group of guards, she left the Duke of Ding's residence in a grand manner.

The incident of Xie Jingyi being forced into marrying his cousin by his biological mother caused a tremendous stir, garnering so much attention that even Emperor Qianyuan in the palace became aware of it. With an impassive expression, Emperor Qianyuan drummed his fingers on the table.

"I'm not dead yet, and Prince Qin is already eager to extend his reach into the Imperial Guards."

Although it seemed that Second Madam Xie was being unreasonable, the underlying calculations were evident to sharp observers.

A confidant eunuch nearby silently lit a candle for Prince Qin. The situation was perilous. News of the Emperor's well-being was known only to a few, and even the Empress and the Noble Consort were pregnant with the Emperor's children without anyone noticing, highlighting the Emperor's control over the palace.

"Your Majesty, I've heard that the Duchess of Ding is coming to handle the matter. It will surely be resolved satisfactorily."

Emperor Qian Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he paused his finger's movement, murmuring a soft "Mm." He had great trust in Jiang Ningbao, his cousin-in-law.
