954 Accusation
“What did you just say?” Jiang Yunfeng looked at Wen Yujing in anger and asked, “that unfilial son went to the country estate and killed Wen Qiang the moment he went there?”
Wen Qiang was the Butler Wen who was killed by Jiang Zhennan to demonstrate his power.
Wen Yujing sobbed and said, ” that’s right, master! Tell me, just how dissatisfied is this child with me? He clearly knew that Wen Qiang was a servant sent by my maiden family to help him manage the country estate, but not only did he not show any gratitude, but he also killed Wen Qiang without asking for the reason.
“Old master, now the entire capital knows that the defender-general of the state has used an excuse to kill my family. Deceit, treason, and so on are all excuses.
“Who in the capital didn’t know that everyone in Duke zhengguo’s mansion, as well as the Wen family, had respect for the official heir, Jiang Zhennan? Besides, Wen Qiang had been conscientiously and diligently helping him to manage the nanyuan Manor in an orderly manner all these years. However, not only did he not remember his hard work, but he was also so ruthless that he took his life with a knife.
“Old master, isn’t he doing this to shame me, his stepmother? Let everyone in the capital think that I, the stepmother, want to seize the first wife’s property and that I’m vicious. How are we going to face those nobles in the future? I had a good intention, but it was misconstrued!”
Wen Yujing was also hinting that Jiang Yunfeng had lost face.
Jiang Yunfeng’s expression was extremely ugly. He said angrily, ” this unfilial son, the last time he came back, he caused me a disaster that has not been resolved yet. Now, he has caused me another one. He’s indeed a fiend. As long as he appears, nothing good will happen.”
When Jiang Yunfeng said that the disaster had not been resolved, he was referring to Jiang Zhenye and Zeng Yanli’s marriage.
As for the other incident, it referred to the fact that he had killed Wen Qiang, openly going against the Wen family and his stepmother, putting Duke Zhengguo Manor in the eye of the storm.
Wen Yujing’s teary eyes drooped, but her eyes flashed.
Then, she raised her head and asked, ” old master, Ye ‘er’s marriage has not been resolved yet. Nan’ er has expressed his dissatisfaction with me, his stepmother, so obviously. What should we do?
“If we don’t resolve Ye ‘er and Zeng Yanli’s marriage, Ye ‘er might really be jinxed to death. Didn’t you see that in just a few days, he’s so thin that he’s only a handful of bones? if he continues to be so thin, he … I’m afraid he’ll really be jinxed to death by Zeng Yanli. Old master, why is my life so bitter? I am about to lose a son…”
This marriage could only be completely resolved if Jiang Zhennan came forward.
Jiang Yunfeng also doted on Jiang Zhenye, his legitimate son, very much. Seeing that he had obviously lost weight, it would be a lie to say that he didn’t feel distressed.
However, this was the emperor’s order, an imperial decree. No one could change the Imperial decree!
Moreover, the Emperor was well aware of the conspiracies and tricks that they had used to break off the engagement. Therefore, breaking off the engagement was harder than ascending to heaven.
However, because this matter started with Jiang Zhennan, and Jiang Zhennan was the emperor’s most favored person, so only Jiang Zhennan might be able to change the emperor’s will.
Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing’s families could be said to have suffered the consequences of their own actions.
They had done a lot of horrible things to others, but they simply couldn’t stand having horrible things done to them. They still put on a high and mighty attitude. They thought they could still control Jiang Zhennan.
They didn’t know that this person, whether it was ten years ago or ten years later, was not someone they could mess with as they pleased.
However, they had been blinded and could not see clearly.
Jiang Yunfeng said angrily, ” this unfilial son, does he really think that he can overturn the heavens just because he is a great general? ”
Wen Yujing immediately asked, ” master, what are you going to do? ”
..
Nanyuan Manor
“General-in-chief, there are people outside claiming to be your parents. Should we invite them in?”
As the General’s trusted aides and subordinates, they knew what kind of parents their general had. They really were shameless to still call themselves the great General’s parents.
How could there be parents in this world who kept saying that their son was a jinx and was afraid that their son would jinx them to death? They threw the general to a dilapidated courtyard to fend for himself the moment he was born.
Jiang Zhennan, Lin yuelan, and the others were eating. When they saw the report from their subordinates, their good mood was instantly ruined.
Guo Bing’s face darkened. “don’t you know anything? Can’t you see that everyone is eating here? Why did you suddenly report such a disgusting matter?”
That’s right, the arrival of Jiang Yunfeng and his wife really disgusted them.
The subordinate touched the back of his head in embarrassment and said a little foolishly, ” Oh right, this matter shouldn’t have been reported during dinner. It should have been reported after everyone had finished eating.”
Guo Bing waved his hand and said, “Remember this lesson! Next time, no matter if it’s the great General’s father or mother, as long as it’s someone from Duke zhengguo’s mansion, you must refuse them at the door.”
“Yes, Lord Guo!” The subordinate said.
At this time, Jiang Zhennan said, “Tell them that they can either come next time or they can wait outside. We are all eating now and have no time to entertain them.”
“Yes, great general!” The subordinate replied respectfully.
When Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing heard this, their faces immediately turned green.
Jiang Yunfeng was so angry that his whole body trembled. His face was a mixture of green and red as he pointed at the man and said, “You … This unfilial son really said that?” He was really infuriated. Eating was more important than meeting his father.
The subordinate immediately said with a disdainful expression, “Duke Zhengguo, as the saying goes, eating is very important. No matter how big the matter is, it’s not as big as eating. The general is eating right now. Is there anything wrong with making you wait?”
Jiang Yunfeng’s veins were bulging, and his eyes were glaring. “This unfilial son is really rebellious. He actually dared to make his father wait at the door.”
As he spoke, he angrily got off the carriage and walked straight into the country estate.
Fortunately, this subordinate was not afraid of trouble. He immediately stopped Jiang Yunfeng and said, “Duke Zhengguo, this is a private residence. Without the owner’s permission, no one can trespass. Otherwise, they will be imprisoned for the crime of trespassing!
When Jiang Yunfeng heard this, he glared at his subordinate fiercely. He was about to raise his hand to hit him, but Wen Yujing immediately stopped him.
She sized up the curious people around the country estate, then cried and said, “Old master, I … I better go back! Nan ‘Er doesn’t like me, his stepmother, and has even implicated you, master, causing you to suffer.”
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but the people nearby could still hear her.
These people didn’t know the inside story, so they suddenly felt sympathy for Wen Yujing, their stepmother.
In an instant, everyone began to criticize the owner of the country estate.
