Chapter 964 - 964 Reversal
964 Reversal
Then, she raised her head and comforted Jiang Zhenzhen. “Brother, mom and dad are doing this for your own good. If you really run away from the marriage, it won’t just implicate the entire Duke zhengguo’s mansion. I’m afraid your life will also be implicated. Brother, just listen to father and mother and stay in your own courtyard for the next three days.”
Jiang Zhenye glared at Jiang Wen, but he could not refute her words.
Then, he lowered his head dejectedly and replied, ” I understand.”
Jiang Wen seemed to have discovered something and suddenly shouted, ” ah, mother, why are your legs exposed? And why are your pants half-gone? What happened?”
If Jiang Wen didn’t scream, the servants of Duke zhengguo’s mansion would not have noticed this. Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing, husband and wife, had forgotten to change Wen Yujing’s pants the first time they came back because of Jiang zhenye’s questioning.
Now, not only did Wen Yujing lose face outside, but she also lost face at home.
Wen Yujing’s face darkened, and she said to Jiang Wen, ” no one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak!”
Jiang Wen immediately realized her mistake and apologized, ” I’m sorry, mother. I didn’t mean to.” Then, she asked in confusion, ” but, mother, you went to nanyuan Manor. How did you … What’s going on?”
Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing definitely wouldn’t say anything about such an embarrassing incident in the country estate.
Wen Yujing snorted with anger, ” Hmph, I don’t know where that B * stard brought that wild girl from. How dare she disrespect me?”
Jiang Wen was even more confused. “What wild girl? There’s actually a woman who’s not afraid of death and would approach that fiend Jiang Zhennan?”
In the capital, Jiang Zhennan’s reputation as a jinx was feared by all men, and women, old and young, let alone any woman who got close to him.
Wen Yujing’s face darkened at the thought of Lin yuelan’s appearance and figure. She said unhappily, ” who knows which corner that girl came from? Maybe she’s here for the power and money of that B * stard.”
When Jiang Zhenye heard this, he immediately shouted, ” she wouldn’t dare! Those things are all mine. If she dares to take them, I’ll kill her!”
From childhood to adulthood, he had been taught that everything in Duke zhengguo’s mansion would belong to him in the future.
And Jiang Zhennan was the descendant of Duke zhengguo’s mansion, so everything would also be his, sooner or later!
After hearing her brother’s words, Jiang Wen was very unhappy, but she could not refute Jiang Zhenye now.
However, in her heart, she thought that she would definitely have a share of that bastard Jiang Zhennan’s things.
That was because her mother had said that half of the defender-General’s mansion’s wealth was to be used as her dowry.
They were both the children of their parents, the legitimate children of Duke zhengguo’s mansion. What right did Jiang Zhenye have to say that everything in Duke zhengguo’s mansion belonged to him?
Jiang Yunfeng’s face was extremely ugly as he said, “Alright, I’ll get someone to find out who that girl is. Go back to the courtyard until the marriage is over!”
When Liu Yichen said that the girl was his little sister, he didn’t believe it at all.
It was rumored that Liu Yichen was ruthless.
In the past, for the sake of the Liu family’s power, he did not hesitate to kill his brothers and sisters.
It was even more bloody than the power struggle in the royal family.
In the end, Liu Yichen was the only one left in the willow leaf village. Naturally, he became the head of the village.
As for whether or not he had any other siblings, the outside world had no way of knowing.
A day later, there were rumors in the capital.
The Minister of revenue’s eldest daughter, Zeng Yanli, had actually had an affair with a servant of the Zeng Manor two days before her marriage with Duke zhengguo’s second son, Jiang Zhenye!
Furthermore, Zhengguo Duke’s wife had actually witnessed it with her own eyes.
She was so angry that she fainted on the spot.
As soon as she woke up, she made a big fuss about breaking off the engagement. How could such a shameless and promiscuous woman marry into Duke zhengguo’s mansion?
Then, Wen Yujing directly handed the palace token to Empress Dowager in the palace.
Nanyuan Manor…
Lin yuelan listened to Jiang Zhennan’s subordinate’s report. She rested her chin on the one hand and tapped the table with the other. She chuckled and said, “Wen Yujing really has her ways! She knows that she can’t get through to you, so she targeted the Zeng Manor. Hehe, this is interesting!”
If she was so smart, why didn’t she start from the Zeng manor earlier and cause trouble over here with Jiang Zhennan?
Jiang Zhennan did not say anything, but Guo Bing was a little anxious.
He said, “Miss Lin, I heard that Wen Yujing had entered the palace to look for Empress Dowager. The fault this time was obviously on Zeng Manor’s side. With Empress Dowager’s intervention, even if the Emperor didn’t want to call off the marriage, he had to do it for Empress Dowager’s sake. This is not a good thing for us. Miss Lin, what do you think we should do?”
Lin yuelan spread her hands and said with a smile, ” Lord Guo, you are the think tank of the Jiang family’s Army. Why are you asking me? I’m just a farmer’s daughter. How do I know what to do?”
Guo Bing choked when he heard that.
Although he was known as the Jiang family Army’s think tank, he was only for killing enemies on the battlefield and marching in battle.
But for him to compete with these inner women openly and secretly, to set up schemes and intrigues, he really didn’t have much use.
What’s more, he had grown up in a big family that was harmonious and free of infighting. He was also a very favored youngest son, so he was not proficient in these matters.”
Guo Bing laughed and said, “Miss Lin, don’t make fun of me!
Liu Yichen also asked curiously, ” sister, I have to say that Wen Yujing made a good move. This way, the marriage annulment can be considered an iron-clad fact. Sister, how do you plan to go about this round so that Jiang Zhenye and Zeng Yanli’s marriage can proceed smoothly?”
To anyone, it didn’t matter if Zeng Yanli was really indecent or if she had been set up, it was a fact that she had been caught in the act of adultery in full view of everyone.
In this way, no family would allow such a woman to marry into the family, let alone a Marquis family like Duke zhengguo’s mansion.
