ARDA - Chapter 76 - Wife Killing Reputation

 The next day, Jiang Ning did not go to Doctor Xue. She had not had time to go in the past few days.

The young lady of the Lu family has her coming-of-age ceremony and invites all the famous families to be guests.

Old Madam Jiang is going to take Jiang Mengyue and Jiang Ning to visit the Lu family. Originally, it would have been fine for Madam Lin to take her two daughters there, but Old Madam Jiang wanted to go in person.

Others don't know the thoughts behind this, but Jiang Ning knows it clearly.

Old Madam Jiang wants to go to the Lu family this time to mention the marriage between the two families and wants to betroth her to the second young master Lu.

Jiang Ning's eyes darkened, and she seemed to have to think of a solution. She would not agree to this marriage, and she would never become a pawn of Marquis Jiang and Old Madam Jiang. These two people had never raised her, and they still wanted to do this. 

What a beautiful idea.

Madam Lin walked into the door and asked Aunt Gui to bring the new fabric.

"Ning Ning, come here and see, which fabric do you like?" Madam Lin didn't know what Lord Jiang and Old Madam Jiang were thinking. She thought they were just going to attend Miss Lu's birthday and planned to make some new clothes for Jiang Ning to wear to go to the Lu family. 

Jiang Ning glanced at the fabric and smiled slightly, "They all look good. Mother has such a good taste."

Madam Lin thought in her mind and said with a smile, "Then make more sets of clothes!"

As for Jiang Mengyue, Madam Lin was also planning to make new clothes for her, but Jiang Mengyue said that they were already prepared and her mother didn't need to worry.

Ever since the grounding, there seemed to be some bad blood between mother and daughter, and they were no longer as affectionate as before.

Madam Lin wanted to comfort her daughter, but Jiang Mengyue's reaction was cold and indifferent, showing indifference and alienation. On the surface, she was still the same as before, but her thoughts were no longer close to each other.

Madam Lin knew that Yue'er had resentment in her heart, so she didn't say anything more. Yue'er was just having a hard time, and it would be over soon.

Unbeknownst to her, Jiang Mengyue didn't think so in her heart.

Jiang Mengyue has given up trying to please Madam Lin.

No matter how she tried to please Madam Lin and followed Madam Lin's wishes, those who were not her biological children were not biological relatives after all. Madam Lin's heart had already turned towards Jiang Ning. From the moment Jiang Ning stepped into the Marquis Mansion, everything changed.

In the room, Jiang Mengyue smiled coldly.

Who is Madam Lin...

The entire Marquis Mansion is in the hands of Old Madam Jiang and Lord Jiang.

As long as she pleases the hearts of Old Madam Jiang and Lord Jiang, she can stand firm in the Marquis Mansion.

The hearts of her grandmother and father were already tilted towards her. Jiang Ning was nothing at all. She was just a pawn of the Marquis family. 

Second Young Master Lu has killed three people by overpowering his wife.

Jiang Ning and the second young master Lu have decided to get married, and the end will be miserable!

A cold smile appeared on Jiang Mengyue's face.

Binglan looked at the cloth on the table and asked, "Miss, which cloth do you want to use for your clothes?"

The Lu family has invited all the major aristocratic families, and the ladies of the aristocratic families will all come to participate, so they must be compared with each other.

Jiang Mengyue glanced at the fabrics on the table and said calmly, "Throw all these into the warehouse."

"But..." Binglan was confused, "I'm going to attend Miss Lu's birthday. Don't you want to make a new dress? These are the latest fabrics..."

Jiang Mengyue smiled faintly, "Just use Cloud Brocade cloth."

Binglan then remembered that the third young master gave the lady two pieces of brocade cloth a few days ago. Cloud brocade cloth is hard to find, even if you have money, you can't buy it. I don't know where the third master bought it. It must have spent so much effort.

"The third young master is so kind to the young lady. This Cloud brocade cloth is so hard to come by that even the silk shops in the capital can't even sell it..."

"Yes."

Jiang Mengyue smiled, her heart filled with a sense of satisfaction.

No matter what she wants, Jiang Minglan will get it for her. Even if she doesn't need to ask, Jiang Minglan will take the trouble to give her the best.

This feeling made her very proud.

Jiang Minglan gave her the Cloud brocade cloth alone, but not to Jiang Ning.

Look, it doesn't matter if they are related by blood, Jiang Ning is not even as good as her finger.

She couldn't wait to go to the Lu family. She appeared in front of Jiang Ning wearing clothes made of Cloud brocade cloth. What would Jiang Ning's reaction be?

......

A few days later, Miss Lu’s birthday.

Old Madam Jiang took her juniors to visit the Lu family.

There were several carriages parked in front of Lu's house, and Old Madam Jiang got on the carriage first.

After a while, Jiang Mengyue walked out. She was wearing a dress made of Cloud brocade cloth and a silver-white gauze skirt, with silver threads looming in it. She seemed to be like a fairy spirit as she moved around, and she instantly became the focus of everyone - -

Jiang Mengyue had a slight smile on her lips, and she also put on makeup to match the gauze skirt.

She was originally pretty, but now her beauty can enchant people's soul.

Old Madam Jiang saw her and nodded with satisfaction. Her granddaughter is so outstanding. She can become the center of attention no matter where she goes. She is an enviable existence. When she is taken out, she can also make the Marquis family look good.

Old Madam Jiang waved, "Yue'er, come here and share a ride with grandma."

"Yes." Jiang Mengyue walked over. She proudly got on Old Madam Jiang's carriage and enjoyed the attention of everyone.

This Cloud brocade cloth is really good, and the clothes made out of it are very beautiful, and other clothes can't compare with it. She secretly thought to herself that if she stood with Jiang Ning today, Jiang Ning would look like mud compared to her.

Then Jiang Ning walked out.

Everyone had already seen the second young lady wearing a fairy dress, they all thought no other dress could leave any impression.

But when they saw Jiang Ning's figure, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Jiang Ning was dressed in a green dress, with a slender figure and simple, but her fair to almost transparent skin and picturesque eyebrows were so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.

She didn't put on makeup this time.

After taking a medicinal bath, not only was the cold illness in her body cured, but her whole body seemed to have been transformed.

When Jiang Mengyue saw it, she subconsciously tightened her hands and stared at Jiang Ning.

She hadn't seen Jiang Ning for a long time, and she subconsciously thought she was just a village girl brought back from the countryside, but she didn't expect... Jiang Ning had changed so much in just a short time.

Old Madam Jiang also looked at Jiang Ning twice this time.

Jiang Mengyue pinched her hands tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms, and she couldn't help but feel jealousy rising in her heart.

Jiang Ning took another carriage.

Soon, the carriage of the Marquis Mansion arrived at the gate of the Lu Mansion.

Old Madam Jiang took her two granddaughters to see Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu was very happy and invited Old Madam Jiang into the room to talk. From the corner of her eye, she looked at the two pretty girls behind her from time to time.

Mrs. Lu knew Jiang Mengyue well. She was slim and very good-looking.

Then the girl next to her should be the daughter raised in Country Villa, who was just brought back to the capital some time ago.    

Old Madam Jiang mentioned consciously or unconsciously that she wanted the two families to become in-laws.

Madam Lu was naturally happy. What she was most worried about was her grandson's marriage. Somehow, she had a reputation for being a wife-killing. No one among the noble ladies of the aristocratic family dared to marry, and they were frightened by the mere mention of it.

This time the Jiang family took the initiative to come to the door and said they wanted to be in-laws, so Mrs. Lu was naturally happy.

Regardless of whether she was brought back from the Countryside or wherever, Mrs. Lu didn't care, as long as she could marry into the Lu family safely and break her grandson's reputation of being a wife-killer.

It was all rumors!

Mrs. Lu looked at Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning had a delicate appearance and stood quietly, and she had a good impression of her from the bottom of her heart.

"Is she Ning Ning?"

When Old Madam Jiang saw Mrs. Lu's joy, a stone fell from her heart, and it looked like the marriage had a chance. She waved her hand to Jiang Ning and said in a gentle voice, "Ning Ning come here."
