Chapter 11 It's Love at First Sight

As soon as Jiang Wanmingfu saw Jiang Guogong's old face, a strange feeling appeared in her heart.

The ancestors of the Jiang family made meritorious service in protecting the country, so they were given the "Iron Certificate of Danshu", and were granted the title of Duke of the State, which was hereditary for four generations.

When Jiang Guogong came here, it happened to be the fourth generation, and he would be reduced to the rank of Xijue in the future.

Among the four sons of the Jiang family, the eldest son passed the imperial examination and became a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but he disobeyed his parents and married a civilian daughter and died in an accident.

The remaining three were even worse, except for Jiang Yuening's father, Jiang Chengyin, who was the head of the household department of a sixth-rank official.

As Jiang Guogong got older, the life of the Duke's mansion became more and more difficult.

It stands to reason that Jiang Guogong's heir should be reduced to a marquis, but because of the accidental death of Jiang Wanming's father, the eldest son, the imperial court has not issued a decree for the Duke's mansion.

Jiang Guogong's mansion is now in an embarrassing state of being out of control.

It's no wonder that when Jiang Guogong heard that King Duan proposed to marry him, he immediately worked up his energy to stabilize Jiang Wanming.

"I've met my grandfather." Jiang Wanming slowly joined hands and gave a blessing.

"Wanming, how are you doing these days?" Jiang Guogong waved his hands with a smile, "The girl is getting older, and she is getting more and more beautiful."

Jiang Wanming remained calm and stood opposite the old man: "If you go back to grandfather, your granddaughter is not doing well these days."

Did the old man hear that King Duan proposed to marry him, so he came to find out?
Hearing this, Jiang Guogong frowned, pretending to be ignorant of Jiang Wanming's situation, and hastily said: "What? Wanming is the eldest daughter of the Duke's family in our country. She is golden and precious, who dares to offend you? !"

The old man will disassociate himself from it.

Could it be that the suffering the original owner had suffered for so many years just let them get away with it?
Since the death of her parents, Jiang Wanming, the eldest lady, has lived a life worse than that of her servants.

There is an empty yard but no one to take care of it, and the maid who helps to clean it has only two or three kittens.

Only the little maid left by her mother, Bai Zhi, can take care of her, but after all, Bai Zhi is just a little girl younger than her, forcing the original owner, a dignified lady, to wash clothes and clean the room by herself from time to time.

Although the Duke's Mansion has never shorted her for food, but the other young ladies are well-clothed and well-fed, what about her?At best, it can be regarded as a rough meal.

In this way, it's no wonder that Xie Ruitang, the eldest son of childhood sweetheart, changed his mind when he saw something different. While talking about liking her, he turned his head and fell in love with Jiang Yuening, who was much spoiled in the house.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanming felt a chill in her heart.

Now the Duke Jiang's mansion, which is doomed to decline, tried to use her to climb the high branch of King Duan, but he didn't know that King Duan's fate in the original fate would only lead the Jiang family to perish.

Jiang Guogong's good plan is bound to fail.

The original owner has suffered so much, Jiang Wanming wants to make all those people who have harmed her come back!
Jiang Wanming's thoughts changed sharply, but there was a trace of weakness in her brows and eyes, and she said sadly: "Grandpa doesn't know, since my parents left, I haven't had a good day. My sisters bully me that I have no father and no mother, and I don't know." People told me that I was helpless, and I couldn't even get the pity of my grandmother."

"How could this be so? It's all grandfather's fault. The court was busy and neglected these chores." Jiang Guogong patted his thigh with annoyed expression on his face, "Oh, my poor son passed away suddenly, and my grandfather was too sad. I don't care about your situation."

Speaking of his son who died young, Jiang Guogong inevitably showed a trace of sincere sadness.

Although the rebellious son did not listen to his parents' words and set a private life with the daughter of the people, he was a legitimate son who was raised and raised by himself after all. His death cast a shadow over the lives of the Duke and the old lady.

"Good boy, I'll send someone to your place right away. If you need something in life, just ask grandpa." Jiang Guogong only talked about material things, and never mentioned the old lady's corporal punishment and the matter of marrying her.

"Thank you, grandfather." Jiang Wanming accepted his flattery with peace of mind, after all, these should belong to her.

Jiang Guogong paused for a moment, stroked his long beard, and said with something to say: "Good boy, do you know King Duan?"

Here we go, the topic is finally here.

Jiang Wanming replied slowly: "His Royal Highness Duan Wang? I do know him."

"How did you know each other? The throne is so powerful, why would you take the initiative to ask you to marry me?" Jiang Guogong asked again and again in a hasty tone.

"That day I was pushed into the water by sister Yue Ning, and it was His Royal Highness Duan Wang who rescued me and fell in love with me at first sight." Jiang Wanming half-truthfully said.

"This..." Jiang Guogong seemed not expecting this answer, Nian Xu thought: "When King Duan was discussing with me in the mansion that day, he did disappear for a while."

"Yue Ning is also a good boy. Why would you push you on purpose? You sisters must have accidentally bumped into each other while playing. You can't blame her." Jiang Yue Ning's gentle and amiable image is really deceptive, Jiang Guogong doesn't believe it.

Jiang Wanming sneered.

Jiang Guogong saw her uneasy expression, and changed his words again: "Playing around is playing around, and it is really wrong to knock the elder sister into the water. How about it, and punish her for three months."

"His Royal Highness saw her push me into the water with his own eyes."

Hearing King Duan, Jiang Guogong's expression changed, he was a little nervous: "Has your Highness said anything to you?"

"Prince Duan said—" Jiang Wanming's tone faltered, and she edited slowly: "The daughters brought up by the Duke's Mansion act viciously. It's really an eye-opener. In the future, stay away from such impolite families."

Jiang Guogong wiped the sweat from his temples, and called the butler: "Quick, call Jiang Yuening over now."

"Act recklessly! Ask her to apologize to you!" Jiang Guogong accompanied him with a smile, "Wanming, you have to say something nice to Prince Duan. Our Duke's Mansion has always been the most polite."

Jiang Wanming just smiled and said nothing.

Xie Jinyun's name is really useful, Jiang Guogong asked Jiang Yuening to come and apologize to her, which was a windfall.

They were forced by their grandmother to apologize to Jiang Yuening that day, and today their situation is reversed.

Jiang Wanming, who experienced the joy of being a fox pretending to be a tiger, silently increased her impression of Xie Jinyun in her heart.

After a cup of tea, Jiang Yuening came gracefully.

With a cute smile on her face, she threw herself into Jiang Guogong's arms like a baby swallow returning to its nest: "Grandpa!"

Jiang Guogong was no longer kind to her as usual, and pushed her away cruelly: "Zhuang point!"

Jiang Yuening was taken aback for a moment, only then did she realize that there was still Jiang Wanming sitting beside her, looking at her leisurely.

"Grandfather, did you call me over...?" She smiled slightly, a little confused.

"Cough," Jiang Guogong was a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly, "Sister Ming, please apologize."

"Apologize?" The smile on Jiang Yuening's face disappeared, and she inadvertently glanced at Jiang Wanming.

Jiang Wanming noticed her gaze, raised her eyebrows, and returned a playful smile.

"You accidentally knocked Wanming into the water that day. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Duan Wang rescued it, so it didn't cause a catastrophe." Jiang Guogong explained solemnly, "It was a joke for His Highness, and those who didn't know it thought it was a country. The family is fratricide. There is no overnight feud in the family, quickly apologize to your sister, and give a three-month fine, and the matter will be over."

Jiang Yuening didn't expect this turning point, her face was stiff, and she refused to speak for a long time.

Jiang Wanming made sarcastic remarks narrowly: "My sister thinks she was spoiled by her grandmother, she won't even say an apology."

Jiang Yuening gritted her teeth: "I..."
