Chapter 952 - 952 Identity
952 Identity
Jiang Zhennan went to the palace.
All the concubines and princes in the palace were the first to receive the news.
They all secretly inquired why Jiang Zhennan had come to the palace this time.
However, no one was able to find out anything.
Inside the Royal study, hearing Jiang Zhennan’s report, the Emperor was surprised for a moment.
He was slightly stunned, then said expressionlessly, ” you said that you gave your 1000 Mu estate to that girl? ”
Jiang Zhennan nodded. Yes!”
Then, he explained, ” when she rescued me and my subordinates, she charged us for each of the heads of those people. As a result, I owe that lady hundreds of thousands of taels!”
When the Emperor heard this, he looked at Jiang Zhennan in surprise again. “my dear Minister, is what you said true? ”
A few hundred thousand taels, should he say that the girl was capable or that she was black-hearted?
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, “Miss Yue ‘er likes to farm very much. As long as she has money, she will buy land to plant. I can’t pay back the 300000 taels of silver, so I can only use the 1000 mu of land that His Majesty has given me to give to Miss Yue ‘er. Your Majesty, please forgive me!”
After understanding the cause and effect, he waved his hand and said, “Forget it. Forget it. Since those things have already been bestowed on you, you can do anything you want with them. Moreover, the grace of saving a life is greater than the heavens, so it’s not impossible to use these mere thousand Mu of land to repay the favor!” At this point, he reacted and asked in surprise, ” my dear Minister, you said that this miss Lin likes farming? ”
If they were not forced to, who would like to farm personally?
Plus, from Jiang Zhennan’s description, he knew that the girl did not lack money at all.
A master who didn’t lack money didn’t need to farm at all, right?
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, ” that’s right. Miss Yue ‘er is a calm and demure lady. From the moment she saved this subject, she told this subject that she hates trouble. Farming makes her feel the tranquility and leisure of life.”
As the Emperor listened to Jiang Zhennan’s words, he became more and more curious about miss Lin.
After a moment of silence, he said, ” my dear Minister, since miss Yue! er is here, why don’t you bring her to see me?” Although it was phrased as a question, it was obviously an order.
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, his expression under the mask was slightly stunned!
Then, he knelt down on one knee and pleaded, ” Your Majesty, please retract your order!”
“Why? ” the Emperor immediately asked, somewhat displeased.
Jiang Zhennan said with conviction, ” Your Majesty, miss Yue ‘Er is a girl who hates trouble, and she … Although she was a quiet person, she was also a stubborn person. If she’s not willing, no one can force her!”
This was to tell the Emperor that as long as Lin yuelan was unwilling, even the divine decree would be useless to move her.
When the Emperor heard this, he was a little angry at first, but then he laughed. “haha, it seems that this Yue ‘er is a girl with a very strong personality. Since that’s the case, I will take back my words and not force her. However, if she is willing to enter the palace, she can come at any time!”
Jiang Zhennan secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said, ” thank you, Your Majesty!”
After Jiang Zhennan returned to the country estate, he did not see anyone working.
He saw more than 40 of his subordinates, including Guo Bing, seemed to be running.
Looking at their sweaty and panting faces, the expression under the mask raised, and he was instantly curious.
Running?
Jiang Zhennan walked in front of Lin yuelan, pointed at his subordinates, and asked, ” Yue ‘er, this …”
Lin yuelan said, ” I think they are a little lazy. That won’t do. When I saw them, they looked weak and powerless, as if they had not had a full meal. This is not how soldiers should look like. So, in order to make them full of energy, I have asked them to run five laps around this thousand mu of land! Look, they’ve only run the third round, and they’re already dispirited. This can’t do!”
Jiang Zhennan was a little surprised when he heard Lin yuelan’s explanation. He opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not do anything. He then cast a helpless look at his subordinates.
The eyes of those subordinates who saw Jiang Zhennan’s return immediately lit up. They thought that the general would definitely plead on their behalf, but then they saw Jiang Zhennan’s helpless eyes. Their mental state was just as Lin yuelan had said, and they became dispirited again.
This time, the relationship between Jiang Zhennan and Lin yuelan immediately aroused their curiosity.
Since they were so tired from running, they might as well find something to do to divert their attention. Who knew? They might be able to finish the remaining two and a half laps in one go.
A soldier who was running alongside Guo Bing asked, ” Guo … Lord Guo, this is big … Who was the general and this miss Lin … What’s their relationship?”
Hearing that someone had asked, it immediately aroused the interest of gossip. Then, a few people from behind slowly ran up and stared at Guo Bing with curious and gossipy eyes.
Guo Bing cleared his throat, then said pretentiously, ” this … This …”
“Lord Guo, What’s this? hurry up and tell us!” This was really making people anxious!
Guo Bing then pointed in their direction and said mysteriously, ” look at our general. Didn’t you notice that he’s completely different from the one we usually see? ”
Everyone looked in the direction that Guo Bing was pointing at, then they frowned and asked, “Of course, we know that the general is different from what we saw. However, what we want to ask is, what is the relationship between the great general and miss Lin?”
Guo Bing was almost angered to death by the stupidity of his subordinates.
He had already pointed it out so clearly, but this group of idiots actually didn’t notice.
Guo Bing glared at them and said angrily, “You guys are really stupid! Who told you to look at that? Didn’t you see the boss’ hand?”
They looked in that direction again.
F * ck!
What did they just see?
They saw the general holding the lady’s hand.
Guo Bing continued, “Now you see. Do you know the relationship between our great general and miss Lin?”
Everyone nodded in unison. “Yes, I know. I know!”
Guo Bing continued, “So, you have to be sensible, okay? Miss Lin is our future General’s wife. She is someone we cannot afford to offend. Let’s put it this way, you can live if you offend the general, but you can’t live if you offend miss Lin!”
Everyone nodded in understanding.
However, there were still people who asked doubtfully, ” Lord Guo, what exactly is this miss Lin’s identity? What happened between her and the great general?”
Suddenly, a sharp voice was heard. “What are you all muttering about? Hurry up and run!”
