989 Get Lost

As soon as Jiang Zhennan returned to Nanyuan Manor, he saw Lin yuelan standing at the door with a smile, welcoming his return.

In an instant, that cold and sorrowful heart melted like ice and snow, warming up.

It was no longer important how those people treated him.

The excessive anticipation in the past was gradually worn away and had completely turned into indifference. There was no disappointment, no despair.

Could you expect a stranger to treat you as passionately as a family member?

That was simply impossible.

So, why should he be bothered by a stranger’s attitude toward him?

He already had someone he cared about, and that person had given him warmth and love.

For this warmth, for this love, no matter what, he would protect it and not let anyone destroy it!

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhennan quickened his pace and walked toward Lin yuelan. He held her hand and said in a somewhat reproachful tone, ” Yue ‘Er, the weather is a little cold today. You don’t have to wait for me at the door. You’re usually so tired. You should have a good rest in the house.”

As he spoke, he took off the cloak on his body and put it on Lin yuelan.

Lin yuelan didn’t refuse. She just smiled and said, “It’s fine. How’s the matter?”

Jiang Zhennan said faintly, “Just as Yue ‘er predicted, the couple just wanted to deal with me casually!”

Lin yuelan smiled and asked, “Then Duke Zhengguo’s mansion’s wedding will be held as scheduled tomorrow. Then wouldn’t the Duke’s wife faint from anger?”

Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, “That’s right. When I returned, she had already fainted from anger!”

Lin yuelan laughed.

Jiang Zhennan looked at Lin yuelan’s beautiful face and asked hesitantly, ” Yue ‘er, will Jiang Zhenye really be jinxed to death by Zeng Yanli? ”

It wasn’t that he felt sorry for Jiang Zhenye, but this marriage could be considered a forced one.

He was afraid that if Jiang Zhenye were really jinxed to death by Zeng Yanli, his reputation would be ruined. What he was worried about was that if Jiang Yunfeng and his wife were to cause a ruckus, the emperor’s reputation would be damaged.

No matter what, the Emperor had arranged the marriage because of him.

Lin yuelan guessed what Jiang Zhennan was thinking. She patted the back of Jiang Zhennan’s hand and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll get Little Green to keep an eye on Jiang Zhenye. He won’t be able to die even if he wants to.”

If Jiang Zhenye died, Jiang Yunfeng and his wife would definitely take revenge.

She was not afraid of their revenge. To her, no matter how crazy they were, she had the ability to fight back.

Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing had made big brother Nan suffer so much since he was young. Even their son and daughter had taken big brother Nan’s things for granted.

Therefore, if Jiang Zhenye were allowed to die, it would be too easy on them.

Didn’t the couple in Duke Zhengguo’s mansion, the brother and sister, always hope to get rid of Brother Nan so that Jiang Zhenye could rightfully inherit Duke Zhengguo’s mansion?

Hehe, she would not let them do as they wished.

She would let them see it but not eat it. She would watch helplessly as Duke Zhengguo’s mansion was inherited by the person they regarded as a thorn in their eyes and ears. She believed that this feeling would definitely be more unbearable than death.

The next day.

It was the day of the marriage between the Minister of Revenue’s residence and Duke Zhengguo’s residence.

The civil and military officials of the officialdom all came to the two families to congratulate them.

Although they didn’t know how sincere they were, the mocking smile on their faces made Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing particularly resentful.

“Congratulations to the Duke, congratulations to the lady!” They all said.

But in the capital, who didn’t know the truth?

Not only was Zeng Yanli a jinx, but she also had an affair with a servant a few days ago. Because of this, the people of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion made a scene in the palace. They thought that they could cancel the engagement, but for some reason, when they returned to Duke Zhengguo’s mansion, the Empress’s imperial decree had arrived.

This imperial decree was not to cancel the marriage but to let the people of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion do a good job in this marriage.

No one in the outside world knew how things had turned out this way.

However, in the upper-class circle, there were some not-so-secret secrets.

In a short period of time, everyone knew that it was all an act. The fact that the Zeng family’s eldest miss had an affair with a servant and was caught red-handed by Duke Zhengguo’s wife was actually a show designed by Duke Zhengguo’s Manor to break off the marriage.
