955 The First Confrontation
The people around them were either servant of the big families or ordinary civilians. The only thing they had in common was that they did not know the situation in the capital and the various rumors.
After all, this was the outskirts of the capital.
Listening to these people’s accusations against Jiang Zhennan, Wen Yujing’s eyes flashed.
Although these people were ordinary people, the people behind them were not ordinary people. Perhaps soon, there would be rumors in the capital that Jiang Zhennan had rejected his stepmother.
However, it was unknown if the couple had deliberately forgotten or if they really wanted to add another crime to Jiang Zhennan’s name. That was, when they went to the General’s residence, Jiang Zhennan had already refused them several times.
However, even so, the subordinate guarding the door still did not let Jiang Yunfeng, Wen Yujing, and the others in.
This person looked at Jiang Yunfeng and his wife, his expression clearly filled with sarcasm as he said, “Duke and Madam Zhengguo, don’t be aggrieved here. In the capital, who doesn’t know that my family’s great general has been regarded as a jinx since he was young and has long been abandoned by his biological father? Before he was even a month old, his biological father randomly hired a nanny to take care of him. Then, he was left in a desolate courtyard.
“If the nanny hadn’t truly loved the general, he wouldn’t have starved to death, frozen to death, or even been bullied to death by his servants.
“Now, one of you is claiming to be the great General’s father, and the other is claiming to be his mother. Hehe, aren’t you ashamed?”
As soon as the man said that, the people around him who were listening were immediately stunned.
Only then did they know that these two people were Duke and Madam Zhengguo.
In other words, the person they were looking for was the war god general of the Long Yan Kingdom-Jiang Zhennan.
Oh, no, this meant that the general was in this country estate.
In an instant, those who had accused him of being unfilial were immediately rendered speechless.
Holy shit, this was the defender-general of the state!
They didn’t have the guts to accuse someone of being unfilial in front of their house.
There was no one in the world who did not know of the war god general Jiang Zhennan’s reputation. It was not only because of his battle prowess but also because of his title as a jinx and the rumored ugly face under the silver mask. When one heard about it, women would scream in fear, and children would cry. Even men would shiver when they heard about his reputation.
Therefore, they kept their mouths shut.
However, there was another reason for them to shut up. They had long heard that although the great general was the heir to Duke zhengguo’s mansion, he was not liked by Duke Zhengguo. There were even rumors that Duke Zhengguo couple hoped that their second legitimate son could inherit Duke Zhengguo’s mansion, and they had harmed the great general, the eldest son, several times.
Therefore, it was understandable that the general refused to meet them.
There were even some who thought that it might not be a good thing for the general if the couple came to visit.
Being accused by a servant, Jiang Zhennan and Wen Yujing immediately lost their faces.
He glared at the soldier, Xiao Ding, and scolded, ” this is my family business. You servant, shut up!”
Xiao ding pursed his lips and said, ” fine!”
After he finished speaking, he quietly and seriously guarded the door as if he was blocking the way.
This time, Jiang Yunfeng was so angry that he stomped his feet and wanted to go home.
However, Wen Yujing stopped him.
She whispered to Jiang Yunfeng, “Old master, our Ye ‘er’s wedding is in three days. If we don’t get Jiang Zhennan to come forward, our Ye ‘er might really be killed by Zeng Yanli.”
When Jiang Yunfeng heard this, he glared at Wen Yujing. Then, he suppressed his anger and returned to the carriage to wait.
Wen Yujing didn’t return to the carriage.
She first looked around, then at the gate. In the end, she gritted her teeth and knelt down in front of the gate while everyone was still in shock.
She sobbed and said, ” Nan ‘er, mother was wrong in the past. I didn’t do a lot of things well and let you suffer. Mother asks for your forgiveness now! However, Nan ‘er, Ye ‘er is innocent. He’s your brother after all. Are you really going to watch your brother jump into the fire pit and face death without doing anything? Nan ‘er, please save Ye ‘er, he’s your brother!”
Xiao Ding and his two other companions had never expected that Madam Zhengguo would kneel just like that. This was too shocking.
He didn’t dare to make the decision, so after exchanging a look with his two companions, he immediately ran inside.
Jiang Yunfeng, who was sitting in the carriage, saw what Wen Yujing had done, and his face turned green.
He walked out of the carriage and said to Wen Yujing, “Get up! What are you kneeling for? You’re my wife, Jiang Zhennan’s mother. What mother kneels to her son? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning? Besides, what qualifications does this rebel have to accept your kneeling?”
Then, he shouted at the door, ” Jiang Zhennan, you unfilial son, come out! You are really too treacherous. You actually forced mother to kneel. Aren’t you afraid of being struck to death by lightning?”
Wen Yujing pulled on Jiang Yunfeng’s sleeve, looked up, wiped her tears, and said, ” old master, don’t be like this. Don’t blame Nan ‘er, I was the one who wanted to kneel. I’m just apologizing for my negligence towards him in the past. I’m doing all of this willingly.”
Then, she lowered her head and started crying. No one could see her sinister and vicious expression.
She thought to herself, ‘I’ll remember this. Jiang Zhennan, I’ll make you pay a hundred times the price!’
The surrounding people were also stunned by Wen Yujing’s actions.
Originally, they were unable to comment on the family affairs of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion.
However, when the Duke’s wife knelt down, she immediately gained the sympathy of many people.
They felt that no matter how wrong the Duke’s wife was in the past, she was still Jiang Zhennan’s stepmother.
However, some also thought that this was obviously an act of coercion by the Duke’s wife. After all, Jiang Zhennan had not even appeared in front of her, so it could not be said that the eldest son had forced the stepmother to kneel.
Of course, at the moment, more people sympathized with Wen Yujing.
“Why is it so lively at the entrance?” At this moment, a clear and melodious girl’s voice came from inside.
As the voice fell, a woman in light yellow and green clothes appeared in front of everyone.
When everyone, including Jiang Yunfeng and his wife, saw the child’s appearance, they were all stunned.
She was too beautiful!
Lin yuelan raised her eyebrows and looked at the dumbfounded Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing, who was still kneeling on the ground. She asked in confusion, “Eh, Madam, why are you kneeling in front of my country estate? We don’t know each other, so I can’t accept such a big gift from you!”
“Who are you? ” Wen Yujing asked, confused.
Lin yuelan said, ” I’m the owner of this country estate!”
Wen Yujing didn’t believe her at all. “Impossible! This is clearly my son Jiang Zhennan’s country estate. How did it become yours?”
Lin yuelan pouted and said matter-of-factly, ” Oh, you mean Jiang Zhennan. He owed me a lot of money, but he didn’t have the money to pay off his debt, so he mortgaged this country estate to me. Madam, if you have any questions, I’ll get someone to bring the land and house deeds to you.”
Jiang Yunfeng, ” …?”
Wen Yujing, “…”
Everyone, “…”
What was going on?
