Chapter 1206: Rotten
Translator: Lonelytree
“Master, there’s a letter from the capital!” Lin Xuling took out a letter and gave it to Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan took out the letter and read it. Then, she raised her eyebrows and said,” Guard Ling, do you think I shouldn’t have asked Brother Nan to take off his mask?”
Lin Xuling didn’t quite understand.” Huh?” What did she mean?
He had heard that Jiang Zhennan used to wear a mask because his face was indeed ruined. Later on, his master healed it.
Since his face had been cured, there should be no need to wear a mask!
After all, wearing a cold mask was very uncomfortable.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” Your master attracted a woman’s attention the moment he returned to the capital. Moreover, this woman has a powerful background!”
Lin Xuling was a little surprised.” Could it be that master has taken a concubine?”
This was his first reaction. After all, he was a child who grew up in a traditional environment. It was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Moreover, Jiang Zhennan was a great general.
However, it was obvious that Lin Xuling didn’t understand Lin Yuelan’s concept of monogamy.
Lin Yuelan laughed coldly.” He dares! He dares to marry a woman other than me, and I will castrate him!” Lin Xuling’s heart trembled.
Such a master was so scary!
Fortunately, he was not favored by his master. Of course, he did not dare to have any thoughts about his master. He only worked for his master loyally.
Lin Xuling asked curiously,” Master, then who was the woman that the master has provoked?”
“It’s the ninth princess Yuwen Ling, the emperor’s most beloved!” Lin Yuelan
said lightly.
“Ah?” Lin Xuling was stunned.” Yuwen Ling? Didn’t she reject the Emperor’s betrothal to the Great General three years ago? Why did she suddenly fall for him this time?
“Yes, why?” When Lin Yuelan heard that Yuwen Ling had once betrothed to Jiang Zhennan, she immediately felt uncomfortable.” What exactly is going on? Explain it clearly to me!”
She did not know that Yuwen Ling and Jiang Zhennan had such a past.
Although it was in the past, it still made her very unhappy, especially now that that woman was pestering her again.
Lin Xuling wanted to slap his own mouth. Why did you bring this up for no reason?
This was something that Jiang Zhennan should tell the master and not him.
Now that Master knew about this, if he didn’t make things clear, would Master let him off?
A moment later, Lin Xuling could only bite the bullet and say,” Three years ago, the Great General returned with a great victory, and the entire country celebrated. But that year, the Great General was twenty-two years old, and he was still alone. Although the Emperor had the intention to arrange a marriage for the Great General, no one in the noble families in the capital was willing to marry their daughter to the General’s Estate, which could be cursed to death at any time. For this reason, the Emperor ignored Consort Liu De’s objection and arranged for the marriage of the ninth princess, who was also his favorite when she was thirteen years old, to the general.
“However, Yuwen Ling threatened to hang herself. She had sought death and refused to marry the Great General. Because of this, she even stopped the Great General in the palace and scolded him for being an ugly monster. She had even said embarrassing and insulting words to the general.
“Later on, the Great General was also fed up with this kind of forced marriage, so he himself broke off this marriage with the Emperor. Because of this, Yuwen Ling gave up!
“After breaking off the engagement, this matter became known to the world!”
When Lin Yuelan heard this, she frowned and asked, “So the whole world knows about this?”
“Yes!” Lin Xuling replied.
Because Yu Wenling wanted the whole world to see Jiang Zhennan as a joke.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhennan was an open-minded man and did not hold it against this woman. Otherwise, based on Yuwen Lings insult and mockery of Jiang Zhennan, Jiang Zhennan could easily complain about her to the emperor.
After all, a great general who had made great contributions and protected the people of the country still carried a lot of weight in front of the Emperor.
Lin Yuelan’s clear and deep eyes looked into the distance sharply. She pursed her lips and sneered,” Hmph, this Yuwen Ling is a noble princess. She’s really thick-skinned! She had broken off the engagement and insulted him. Now, she had taken a fancy to the man whom she had broken off the engagement and insulted! Was she suffering from amnesia? Even if she had amnesia, it was impossible for Jiang Zhennan to have amnesia. It was impossible for the people of the country to have amnesia! Isn’t she just slapping her own face now?
When Lin Xuling heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. It wasn’t appropriate for him to comment on matters of the heart.
However, he asked curiously again,” Master, this time, Yuwen Ling has taken a fancy to the Great General. Then, is it possible for His Majesty to bestow a
second marriage to them?”
Lin Yuelan said lightly,” As long as the old emperor isn’t stupid, he wouldn’t do that!”
She had what he needed, and she could make the people rich and the country strong. For a person of value, compared to a princess who might only have the value of marriage, he would have a clear choice as long as he was not stupid.
However, Lin Xuling’s heart was pounding.
He knew that Master was very strong, but no matter how strong she was, she was not stronger than the ruler of a country.
It was said that the Ninth Princess Yuwen Ling was His Majesty’s most beloved daughter. Perhaps for the sake of his daughter’s happiness, he would force Jiang Zhennan to reject his master, who was a commoner, and then bestow another marriage to Yuwen Ling and Jiang Zhennan.
After all, the heart of a ruler was unpredictable!
Lin Yuelan glanced at Lin Xuling and saw the lack of confidence on his face. She immediately understood what he was thinking. She waved her hand and said,” Alright, I believe Brother Nan will give me a good explanation. You don’t have to think too much!” You may leave!”
“Yes, Master!” Lin Xuling replied. However, he was not confident in Jiang
Zhennan.
As long as it was a man, there were not many who would reject a woman who threw herself into his arms.
Of course, excluding himself, they had undergone Lin Yuelan’s strict training, including seduction. As long as they didn’t pass, they would be eliminated. n))o(-v)(E()L(/B)-1))n
He had heard that Jiang Zhennan had not had a woman for more than twenty years.
After his face was healed, his heart would inevitably swell up. Being pursued by a noble princess, there would always be a sense of vanity in his heart!
He could only silently wish Jiang Zhennan the best in his heart. Otherwise, he really believed that his master would castrate him first and then skin the adulterous couple.
He knew very well that Jiang Zhennan’s martial strength was no match for their master.
Seeing that Lin Xuling wasn’t comforted, Lin Yuelan could only twitch her lips helplessly.
There was no need to be so unconfident in his master, right?
However, after Lin Xuling left, Lin Yuelan rubbed her fingers together and looked ahead as if she was thinking.
Then, she said in a low voice,” It seems like we’re going to invent a medicine that can knock down rotten pursuits..”
