The couple, Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing did not notice the emperor’s displeasure. They only had one thought in mind right now, to matchmake Jiang Zhennan and Zeng Yanli’s marriage.
In their opinion, with Jiang Zhennan’s reputation as a jinx, since no female was willing to marry him, he had no right to be picky. If a woman were to marry him, it was already a blessing.
Although Zeng Yanli didn’t have a good reputation, she was also a jinx. They were a perfect match.
Jiang Yunfeng looked worried and said seriously, ” Your Majesty, I also know that with Zeng Yanli’s reputation, she may not be worthy of a Grand defender-general of the state. However, after this New Year, Nan ‘er would be twenty-five years old. Other families’ children were of his age, and they already had a group of children.
“However, he was still single.
“Your Majesty, Nan ‘er is the heir of my Duke Zhengguo’s mansion. His descendants are also related to the next heir of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion.
“So, in order for my Duke Zhengguo’s mansion to have a successor, no matter what, Nan ‘er must get married, Your Majesty!”
It sounded nice.
The Emperor raised his eyebrows and said, ” so, you found a woman with an explosive temper and an arrogant and despotic attitude to marry my defender-general of the state? ” When he said this, she could clearly feel his anger.
Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing finally reacted. The Emperor seemed to be angry.
The two of them paled, and their expressions immediately became nervous.
Jiang Yunfeng had always known that the Emperor was very protective of Jiang Zhennan. Moreover, in this marriage, the Emperor gave Jiang Zhennan the greatest autonomy.
If it weren’t for Wen Yujing’s Pillow Talk, telling him that the eldest daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue had taken a fancy to Jiang Zhennan and was willing to marry him, he would not have mentioned it to the Emperor.
In their opinion, other than Zeng Yanli’s bad reputation, her identity and background were indeed worthy of Jiang Zhennan.
As for Jiang Zhennan’s opinion, they automatically ignored it.
Jiang Yunfeng believed that since he was Jiang Zhennan’s father, he had the right to interfere in his marriage. Now, the only person who had to agree was the Emperor.
It was not a problem.
The Emperor was most worried about Jiang Zhennan’s marriage. The Emperor should be happy that a woman was willing to marry Jiang Zhennan.
But why was the Emperor so angry now?
Jiang Yunfeng and his wife did not understand.
Jiang Yunfeng said to the Emperor uneasily, ” Your Majesty, although Zeng Yanli’s temper is a little bad, Zeng Yanli herself had also said that she had taken a fancy to Nan ‘er and was willing to change for him. She said that she would definitely become a good and virtuous woman. As for bringing bad luck to her husband, perhaps it’s because her life is too tough, but Nan ‘er’s life is also too tough. The two of them can offset each other, perhaps to balance things out and form a happy family.”
If it was a man who really needed a woman to get married, this could indeed move people’s hearts.
However, Jiang Zhennan was not the case.
“Oh, the two can offset each other and balance each other. Minister Jiang is right.” The Emperor nodded in agreement, then turned in Jiang Zhennan’s direction and asked, ” my beloved general, what do you think? ”
Jiang Zhennan did not even look at Jiang Yunfeng and his wife. He only said to the Emperor calmly, ” thank you for miss Zeng’s love. However, I am destined to be alone for the rest of my life. If Miss Zeng wants to be a good and virtuous wife, then please find another husband!”
A direct rejection!
Not to mention that he already had a girl in his heart, and even if he didn’t, marrying such a woman would only bring disaster to his life. It wasn’t like he had to have a woman. He didn’t want such an arrogant and domineering woman to be the general’s wife.
When he heard Jiang Zhennan’s rejection, Jiang Yunfeng’s anger immediately rose.
He pointed angrily at Jiang Zhennan and cursed, ” die alone? Hmph, do you want Duke Zhengguo’s mansion to have no descendants? You’re unfilial!”
In fact, he wanted to scold Jiang Zhennan for taking his second son’s spot.
‘Since you don’t have any descendants, why do you want to occupy the title of heir of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion?’
He needed Jiang Zhennan to surrender that title willingly.
That was because if Jiang Zhennan did not take the initiative to speak, the Emperor would never allow him to pass the title to Jiang Zhenye.
It was just that Jiang Zhennan had become stronger, and Jiang Yunfeng could no longer do anything to him. Therefore, he could only make an issue of the marriage and make Jiang Zhennan take the initiative to speak to the Emperor and hand over the position of the heir.
However, no matter what he hinted at, his unfilial son would pretend to be deaf and not follow his wishes. As a result, his precious son, Jiang Zhenye, could only settle by figuring out a future by sitting for the imperial examination for now.
