Ning Yue gave Wang Jing a look, and Wang Jing instantly understood what she meant.
The three of them froze. Madam Li quickly explained, “Wang Jing, what are you talking about? When did your brother have a fiancée? Let me tell you, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense.”
“In the past, on account that you and Wang Da are biological siblings, I’ve always tolerated you when you ruined his reputation. But now, I can’t tolerate it anymore. Your brother has never had a fiancée!”
“I…” Wang Jing’s face turned pale. She did not expect Madam Li to be so thick-skinned. In order to climb up the social ladder, she did not care about anything else.
“What are you doing?! Apologize to your brother quickly. How can you spout nonsense like this?! If word gets out, how can you find a wife for your brother?!” Madam Li berated Wang Jing.
Seeing that Madam Li was about to attack Wang Jing, Ning Yue asked, “So Auntie, what do you mean?”
Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Madam Li smiled disgustingly again. “Isn’t it good that you’re not married yet? If you like my son, I can make the decision to let you marry him.”
Ning Yue raised her eyebrows. “Oh? Do you mean that you can make my decision and let me marry your son?”
“Of course. My son will definitely listen to me. If you’re willing, I can naturally let my son marry you. For 300 taels of betrothal money, you’ll definitely have a good life after marrying into our family. I guarantee that we’ll treat you better than our biological daughter.” Madam Li kept weaving beautiful dreams for Ning Yue.
Ning Yue looked at Wang Da and Father Wang. The two of them also smiled, especially Wang Da. The more he looked at Ning Yue, the more he liked her.
Such a beautiful girl. Even if she didn’t give him any money, he was willing.
“Then why do you think you can make my decision?” Ning Yue asked Madam Li.
When Madam He, Madam Qu, Madam Qin, and Madam Qi heard Madam Li’s words, they were already very unhappy.
They were about to scold Madam Li angrily when Ning Yue stopped them.
However, Madam Li’s words were getting more and more overboard. Ning Yue actually dared to say that she was her decision maker. Did she think she was the emperor?!
“That’s right, girl. If you marry me, I promise I’ll treat you well.” Wang Da walked forward and looked at Ning Yue affectionately. He reached out to hold Ning Yue’s hand.
Ning Yue’s expression turned cold. She couldn’t help but slap Wang Da’s face.
With a bang, Father Wang, Madam Li, and Wang Da were stunned.
Wang Da covered his face and looked at Ning Yue in disbelief. After a long time, he reacted and was about to slap Ning Yue.
Ning Yue easily dodged Wang Da’s slap. Then, she kicked Wang Da’s knee hard. With a bang, Wang Da fell to his knees.
“Ouch!” he cried out in pain.
Only then did Madam Li and Father Wang react. Their hearts ached as they supported Wang Da.
“You b*tch. Our Wang Da likes you and agreed to let you in. You actually attacked him. What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, even if a woman like you enters my Wang family, she won’t have an easy time!”
Madam Li was certain that Ning Yue wanted to enter the Wang family and said a bunch of things.
Ning Yue’s expression turned colder and colder until she snorted coldly. “Who do you think your Wang family is? Who do you think you are? How dare you make the decisions for me?”
“Wang Jing, where’s the jade pendant I gave you? Why aren’t you wearing it? You have to understand that it’s a jade pendant given to me by the current Princess Consort Jin, my future mother-in-law. If you dare not wear it or not take proper care of it, don’t blame me for being rude!”
This was not the only jade pendant Xin Xin had given Ning Yue. There were also many other things. Ning Yue had only taken out a suitable jade pendant to wear after finding it in the box.
Before that, she told Ning Yue that the jade pendants were just toys to relieve her boredom. There was no special meaning. She could also give them to someone or reward the eunuchs from the palace.
The eunuchs in the palace had seen many good things. Ordinary jade pendants were no longer worthy of their attention. This jade pendant was of good quality and had a novel design. They would definitely like it.
Everyone in the palace liked it, let alone an ordinary family like the Wang family. They had never seen anything good. Seeing that Wang Jing had obtained the jade pendant, Madam Li snatched it away crazily. She even said that this was a greeting gift for Wang Da’s future wife and told Wang Jing not to monopolize the good stuff.
Now that they heard Ning Yue mention the jade pendant and Princess Consort Jin, the four people from the Wang family, including Wang Jing, were stunned.
