892 Causing Trouble
Wen Yujing glared at Guo Bing and shouted, “Young master Guo, I know you want to stand up for Nan ‘Er, but if you want to blame someone, blame me. Don’t drag my daughter into this.”
Guo Bing was really speechless at Wen Yujing’s shamelessness.
He only asked indifferently, “Am I not telling the truth? ”
Wen Yujing was at a loss for words.
However, if she allowed Guo Bing to ruin Jiang Wen’s reputation, how would her daughter get married in the future?
However, if she continued to argue with him, the matter between Zeng Yanli and Ye ‘er would never be resolved.
On one side was her daughter, and on the other was her son. It would hurt her to give up on either one.
However, she glanced at the infatuated Zeng Yanli and her son, who was lying on the stretcher. Wen Yujing gritted her teeth and decided that she couldn’t care less. She had to deal with her son’s problem first. As for her daughter, she would have plenty of opportunities in the future to build a good image for her.
After making this decision, Wen Yujing ignored Guo Bing and gave Zeng Yanli a meaningful look. “miss Zeng, my Nan ‘er seems to be shy. Why don’t you take the initiative? ” Of course, she whispered to Zeng Yanli.
Reminded by Wen Yujing, Zeng Yanli saw that Jiang Zhennan was about to enter the manor. She immediately went forward and shouted coyly, ” husband, can you let me in to take a look? I’ll be the matriarch of the general’s residence in the future, so I should take a look around first.”
Guo Bing was immediately a little angry at Zeng Yanli’s words.
“Zeng Yanli, how can you be so thick-skinned?” he yelled at Zeng Yanli. “My big brother didn’t marry you, so please don’t call him your husband! Your husband is there … Jiang Zhenye!” As he spoke, he pointed at Jiang Zhenye on the stretcher.
“No, ” Zeng Yanli said stubbornly. “the one I like is the general. I want to marry him!”
Everyone almost fainted due to Zeng Yanli’s intelligence and thick skin.
This woman was really too shameless!
Just then, Jiang Yunfeng said to Zeng Yanli, ” miss Zeng, don’t listen to Guo Bing’s nonsense. Furthermore, this unfilial kid had a stubborn temper and was unwilling to say what was on his mind. I know that he likes you too. Don’t worry. This Duke will recognize you as my first daughter-in-law.”
“thank you, Father!” Zeng Yanli immediately said joyfully. Then, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Zhennan again. She asked in embarrassment, ” husband, is what father said true? ”
Jiang Zhennan’s footsteps that were about to step into the mansion suddenly stopped. He frowned slightly, then turned around and walked over again.
He stopped in front of Zeng Yanli, pointed at Jiang Zhenye, and said coldly, ” He’s your husband. Don’t call me your husband. It’s disgusting! Also, if you don’t want your entire family to be executed for defying the imperial edict, you’d better obediently return to your family today!”
Zeng Yanli had thought that she had changed Jiang Zhennan’s mind.
However, when Jiang Zhennan’s voice fell, her expression suddenly changed.
Although she was slow-witted, she was not completely brainless.
Disobeying the edict was a crime that would result in execution!
The Zeng Manor had also received the Imperial edict of marriage yesterday.
She was not very satisfied with Jiang Zhenye. After all, the person she liked was the defender-general of the state, Jiang Zhennan. However, he was the legitimate son, the second son of Duke Zhengguo, and the Emperor had suddenly arranged a marriage for them.
She could have done much worse, so she also felt at ease about getting married.
But later, Wen Yujing came to her and said that she could think of a way to change the emperor’s will so that she could marry Jiang Zhennan in peace.
It was to have her come to the general’s residence to confess her feelings to Jiang Zhennan. Then, Jiang Zhennan could go to the Emperor and ask him to change his mind.
But now, Jiang Zhennan’s words were like a blow to her head.
Zeng Yanli’s face immediately turned pale. “I … I’m going back home!”
With that, she ignored everyone’s shock and left with the servant girl in a hurry.
She didn’t care about everyone’s reaction, especially the reaction of the Jiang family at Duke Zhengguo’s mansion.
Guo Bing secretly gave Jiang Zhennan a thumbs up.
The great general was indeed the great general. As soon as he stepped out, he scared the other party back without wasting any time.
Zeng Yanli had left, but Jiang Yunfeng and the others were still there.
At this moment, Jiang Zhennan said to Jiang Yunfeng without any trace of politeness, ” Duke Zhenguo, the eldest miss Zeng has been betrothed to your family’s precious son, Jiang Zhenye, by the Emperor. You keep saying that you want your daughter-in-law to enter this General’s residence. Are you planning to cuckold your family’s precious son, or are you planning to disobey the royal decree? However,”
At this point, Jiang Zhennan said in a sharp tone, ” no matter what plans you have, it’s none of my business. If you want to make a fuss, go back to your Duke Zhengguo’s mansion or go somewhere else. I don’t have time to play around with you, and I don’t intend to defy an imperial edict!”
After saying that, he didn’t care about their reactions and turned to the Butler. “uncle Fu, close the gates. Don’t let any random person in!”
“yes, general!” the Butler replied respectfully.
Jiang Yunfeng, Wen Yujing, and Jiang Wenwen, who were just random people, “..”
Guo Bing didn’t pay attention to their reactions and followed Jiang Zhennan directly. When he reached the Butler, he said loudly, “Uncle Fu, you must close the door! Otherwise, it’ll be very difficult to drive out those cats and dogs that sneaked in, do you understand?”
Then, his figure also disappeared in front of everyone.
Everyone, “…” What was this about the royal edict, bestowing marriage, and so on?
Although these people didn’t quite understand it now, it wouldn’t be long before they understood what these words meant.
It turned out that the Emperor had already arranged a marriage between Jiang Zhenye and Zeng Yanli!
However, what was Duke Zhengguo’s family doing pushing Zeng Yanli to the great general?
