Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 206 The fight started

The three siblings of the Duan family stood at the gate, looking at the majestic and endless mansion, their hearts surging. This was the power center of the Ning family army.

The mansion where the Ning family has lived for generations also represents the highest military power.

Duan Xinyu was full of anticipation and looked forward to the glorious moment of becoming the mistress of the Ning family.

Madam Ning came out to greet them personally. Duan Xinyu was flattered and stepped forward to salute, "Hello, Auntie. You are so busy but still come to greet us. We are so grateful."

She called me "Aunt" all the time, as if she was a member of the Ning family.

Madam Ning looked at them deeply and arranged them in the guest house, which was separated from the backyard by a wall and had a curfew.

Duan Xinyu washed up briefly, changed into a clean set of clothes, and dressed up carefully before going to meet the old lady.

Old Madam Ning was half lying on the couch, with several young children sitting on her lap, laughing and talking happily, and several female relatives of the Ning family were accompanying her.

The three brothers and sisters of the Duan family came forward respectfully and kowtowed, "Greetings to the old lady, may you be blessed with good health."

"Get up quickly, get up quickly." Old Madam Ning enthusiastically asked Duan Xinyu to sit next to her and asked about her health.

"I've been thinking about you all the time. Fortunately, you recovered. If something went wrong, how would your family live? Have you written a letter home?"

Duan Xinyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled shyly, "I wrote it, and my grandfather also wrote back to me, saying..."

Her face flushed and she lowered her head shyly.

Young Master Duan took the initiative to take over the conversation, "Grandfather said that he would take care of everything in the capital, so my sister can wait for her marriage peacefully. Our two families are both well-known figures, and the marriage of the daughter of the Duan family is a major event. She must not be wronged. Therefore, even if there is an imperial decree, the three letters and six engagements process must be completed."

"Of course, we will cooperate with the Ning family's arrangements to show respect."

When these words came out, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Young Master Duan held out a box and said, "This is our dowry list. Please take a look."

No, we haven't even gone through the three-book and six-engagement process yet, so how come we've jumped to the dowry list?

Madam Ning waved her hand and said cheerfully, "There is no rush for the dowry list. We can talk about it after the appointment. You have come all the way here and you must have worked hard. I will host a banquet to welcome you tonight. Go back and rest first."

Third Young Master Duan bowed and said, "Thank you, old lady. Then we brothers and sisters will go to pay our respects to Seventh Young Master Ning first."

Madam Ning looked at the carefully dressed Duan Xinyu and sighed silently, "Then go meet them. Fourth grandson's wife, take them there."

"Yes."

After they went down, Madam Ning couldn't help but ask, "Mother, do you really want to marry me?"

It’s troublesome whether to marry or not.

Madam Ning rubbed her brows and said, "It all depends on Xiao Qi's opinion. If he wants to marry, then he can marry. If he doesn't want to marry, then... just put it off."

She gave the choice to Ning Qishao.

The Seven Star Pavilion is quiet and peaceful, with a suffocating silence.

Duan Xinyu's heart was pounding wildly as she nervously packed her clothes. No matter how ambitious she was, she was just a teenage girl who hoped to marry a man of her dreams.

Even if it is a marriage of arrangement, women hope that the man is a talented person rather than a playboy.

Young Master Duan said loudly, "Young Master Duan San of the Duan family in Beijing and his brothers and sisters come to see Young Master Qi."

The guard came out, looking apologetic, "I'm sorry, my Seventh Young Master is in a coma and cannot see guests."

As if a basin of cold water was poured over their heads, the Duan brothers and sisters looked unhappy. Were they really sleeping? Or was it an excuse?

Third Young Master Duan inquired, "How is the Seventh Young Master's recovery?"

The guard sighed softly, "Not very ideal. The doctor said that he might never be able to stand up again."

It was like a bolt from the blue, shocking the three siblings of the Duan family. They returned to their room to rest with a look of bewilderment on their faces.

I knew that Young Master Ning was seriously injured, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

The fourth young master Duan said cautiously, "Sister, are you okay? If you don't want to marry a useless person, then delay the wedding."

Duan Xinyu's black eyes flickered. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly said, "Go and find out quietly if he can... have children?"

Young Master Duan almost choked on his own saliva. His sister is no ordinary person.

"Row."

A marriage is not only about two powerful families joining forces, the most important thing is the result of the marriage, which is a child with mixed blood from both families, and it must be a boy.

Without a child, it would be impossible for Duan Xinyu to control the Ning family's voice.

He used money to pave the way, and soon found out that Ning Qishao had a child with his concubine, and the birth date should be after he was injured.

After hearing this, Duan Xinyu was silent for a long time, "Then proceed as planned."

All the female members of the Ning family attended the welcoming banquet, and several local officials were also invited to join with their families, except for the person involved, Ning Qishao, and Ning Zhiwei, the head of the Ning family.

The banquet was simple yet grand. Everyone was happy at the beginning. Everyone praised each other and the atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.

Until a maid rushed in, "Madam, Madam, help me."

Everyone was startled, and Madam Ning frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The maid burst into tears, "The young master is very ill, please help me, old lady."

The only child who was not ranked was the one born by Jiang. Old Madam Ning's face changed drastically, "How are we going to serve the young master? Go and get the doctor quickly."

"The doctor...was taken away by the Seventh Young Master's wife to look after the children in the orphanage."

The Seventh Young Master's wife hadn't spoken the entire night, sitting in a corner in a gloomy mood. She immediately became annoyed when she heard this, "What do you mean? Accusing me of harming the child?"

"I dare not, but the young master's life is at stake. Please save his life, please."

There is a common meaning in what he said.

The Seventh Young Master's wife was so angry at the strange looks from everyone. She had done nothing, but was blamed for everything.

However, Duan Xinyu stood up at this time and said, "Seventh Young Master Madam, the child is innocent, please forgive him when you can."

This was clearly putting the blame on the Seventh Young Master's wife, who was furious and kept making things difficult for her.

She picked up the wine glass and threw it at Duan Xinyu, missing her face, but all the wine spilled on her clothes.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you, a mere concubine, speak to the mistress like that? Are you tired of committing crimes against your superiors?"

No one expected her to suddenly attack, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Duan Xinyu's new clothes were ruined, and what made her even more embarrassed was being called "concubine" again and again.

No matter how much she avoided it, no matter how much she persuaded herself that she had two wives, it was an indisputable fact that Young Master Ning already had a legal wife.

Her eyes turned red with anger. "I was married to the late emperor. Are you dissatisfied with him?"

Madam Ning Qishao sneered, "I dare not, but I am very dissatisfied with you. As a guest, you are so determined to interfere in the affairs of the host family. People who don't know would think that you can't wait to seize the power of the Ning family."

Duan Xinyu's face changed drastically when she was hit on the heart, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't do that, it's obviously you who don't have the tolerance to tolerate others, you're a jealous woman."

These words added fuel to the fire, and her rage rose to the top of her head. The Seventh Young Master's wife rushed over and slapped him.

"You say I'm a jealous woman? Fine, I'll show you."

Duan Xinyu, who was honored with a high rank, had never suffered such a great humiliation. She didn't even want to be a human being when she was beaten in public. She threw all her manners and manners out of the window and hit back subconsciously.

The two of them fought back and forth, grabbed each other's hair, wrestled into a ball, and rolled around on the ground, completely losing the demeanor of noble ladies.
