C8 Let the Family Bleed a Little Bit

"Wait for what?"

"Waiting for Third Prince's Mansion to send the betrothal gift over." Nian Qingci smiled and narrowed her eyes.

Mmm, this chestnut candy is so delicious.

A betrothal gift?

Yu Niang became more confused. "Eldest Miss, how did you know that the King's Manor will send a bridal gift here today?"

Before Nian Qingci could answer Yu Niang's question, the sound of a lock dropping came from outside.

It was the attendant from the Minister's Mansion. "Eldest Miss, Master wants you to clean up the front yard and receive the betrothal gift from the Duke's Mansion."

He really came to apply.

Yu Niang looked at Nian Qingci in shock.

Nian Qingci immediately put on an unhappy face. "I said it already!" I won't marry! "

What did accepting a betrothal gift mean? Doesn't that mean she agreed to be married?

As if expecting Nian Qingci's reaction, the attendant passed over a bag of items and motioned for Nian Qingci to open it. "Eldest Miss, Master said that if you don't marry, I'll burn these two items."

The contents of the package were long and vertical.

Nian Qingci flipped it open and took a look.

It was her parents memorial tablet.

Nian Qingci's expression changed as she slowly hugged the two spirit tablets to her chest, gritting her teeth as if resigned to her fate. "Take me to the front courtyard."

Seeing that Nian Qingci had compromised, the servant boy hurriedly said cordially, "Eldest Miss, this servant will take you there now."

Minister's Mansion, front yard.

As soon as Nian Qingci entered, she saw piles of bridal gifts tied with red silk in the yard.

Si Junling didn't come. The one who came to apply was Guan Zhong.

When Mrs. Jiang saw that Nian Qingci had arrived, she eagerly came over and held her back. Her face was full of happiness as she said, "Qingci, come quickly and take a look. Your uncle has helped you arrange a good marriage this time." As long as you enter the palace, you will be the proper Third Princess! "

If it's that good, why don't you let your daughter marry him?

Nian Qingci grumbled in her heart, but her expression did not change as she echoed the always pretentious Mrs. Jiang. "Thank you for your trouble, Aunt and Uncle."

Minister Jiang looked at Nian Qingci with a resigned expression.

He was extremely pleased with himself.

He hastily pushed Jiang Wanrou, who was standing beside him, and gestured for her to go over.

Jiang Wanrou walked leisurely to Nian Qingci's side, smiling as she said, "Big sister, such a joyous occasion, little sister is really happy for big sister. "I wonder if Third Prince will be scared when he sees his sister like this."

Nian Qingci intentionally curled up her body, placed the spirit tablet before her chest, and bit her lips. She purposefully lowered her head to let her hair fall down, covering the scar on her left cheek.

Upon seeing her expression, Jiang Wanrou's smile became even more wanton. "What a pity. Speaking of which, my older sister's beautiful appearance was something no one in the Dongqi can match up to."

Listening to Jiang Wanrou's sarcasm, he only slightly raised his head and stared at her, but didn't refute her.

Nian Qingci looked at Jiang Wanrou's head swaying in front of her.

A trace of contempt unconsciously flashed across his eyes.

She occupied the family that had once belonged to her, and used the inheritance left behind by her parents.

He still wanted her life.

There was still a long way to go.

Those who owed her and those who harmed her parents, she would take them back one by one.

But now, she had temporarily left.

However, she would have to let her family pay some blood in order to be satisfied.

Nian Qingci lifted a hand to touch Jiang Wanrou's hair, and with her usual condescending tone, she echoed her words, "In the end, Wanrou is the proper young miss of Minister's Mansion. This Lili's position is more suitable for my sister to sit on."

Hearing these words, Jiang Wanrou was afraid that the people from the Third Prince's Mansion would set their sights on her again, and she immediately shouted, "No, I don't want to be Third Princess!"
