Chapter 1193: Wen Yujing’s Secret
Translator: Lonelytree
“What?” Wen Yujing and her daughter were shocked.” There are such rumors in the palace too?!”
They had never thought that the rumors would spread so quickly and reach the Imperial Palace so quickly.
Jiang Yunfeng’s face darkened again when he heard the mother and daughter’s words. He asked sternly,” What do you mean there are such rumors in the palace? Many of the officials in the palace had clearly seen the unmasked unfilial son with their own eyes!”
Hearing that, Wen Yujing’s face suddenly turned pale. Her eyes were filled with panic as she asked anxiously, “Old Master, you… Is what you said true?”
Jiang Yunfeng was in a state of anger and disbelief. He did not notice that something was wrong with Wen Yujing at all. He said angrily,” All the civil and military officials said the same thing when they saw me. How could it be fake?”
When Jiang Wen heard this news, although her expression was also ugly, it was not as obvious and panicked as her mother’s. She quickly realized that something was wrong with her mother and asked in confusion,” Mother, what’s wrong with you?”
Wen Yujing immediately reacted and shook her head. “Nothing. Mother is just shocked by this news!”
This news was not good news for Zhengguo’s Duke Mansion.
Therefore, her answer did not arouse any suspicion.
However, she was worried about something else.
What would Jiang Zhennan look like after he took off his mask?
In fact, Wen Yujing was worried about Jiang Zhennan’s appearance because Jiang Zhennan had looked somewhat similar to Jiang Yunfeng since he was young.
Wen Yujing caused Yuan Shutong, Jiang Zhennan’s mother, to give birth prematurely and die of massive bleeding. Then, she made Jiang Yunfeng constantly suspect that Yuan Shutong had betrayed him and even gave birth to a bastard child.
At that time, Yuan Shutong had died of a massive hemorrhage. Jiang Zhennan’s father had wanted to execute Jiang Zhennan in secret, but fortunately, he was stopped by Madame Jiang in time.
She didn’t say whether the child was Jiang Yunfeng’s. She only told Jiang Yunfeng that the Jiang family had a difficult time producing children. Before other children appeared, it didn’t matter if the child was his or not.
In fact, she knew Yuan Shutong very well. It was impossible for her to betray Jiang Yunfeng.
However, she hated Yuan Shutong and didn’t explain it to her son. Yuan
Shutong was buried with a bad reputation, but she kept her mouth shut.
Jiang Yunfeng did not make a move after being persuaded by Madame Jiang.
Not long after, Wen Yujing also gave birth to a son.
It was also at this time that the so-called respected Master Xu Wu suddenly came to the Jiang family. He said that Jiang Zhennan was a fiend in his life and was destined to be a jinx to his mother, father, and family!
After hearing Master Xu Wu’s words, coupled with the fact that Wen Yujing had given birth to another descendant of the Jiang family, Jiang Yunfeng’s killing intent towards Jiang Zhennan rose again.
However, before he could do anything, Wen Yujing’s son fell ill. Old Madam Jiang was worried that something would happen to the child, so she stopped Jiang Yunfeng again.
After that, every time Jiang Yunfeng wanted to make a move, Wen Yujing’s son would fall seriously ill. As a result, Wen Yujing no longer dared to instigate Jiang Yunfeng to kill.
Later on, as Jiang Zhennan grew up, Wen Yujing realized that he looked more and more like Jiang Yunfeng. Wen Yujing became more and more panicked. She was afraid that Jiang Yunfeng would find out the truth one day, and his fatherly love would surge out. That would be very detrimental to both her and her children.
Therefore, she instigated Old Lady Jiang. Under her persuasion, Jiang Yunshen still sent Jiang Zhennan to the most dilapidated courtyard in the Duke’s estate to prevent them from meeting.
Then, Wen Yujing heaved a sigh of relief. After that, she could torture Jiang Zhennan with all her might until he escaped from the Duke’s estate.
However, Wen Yujing was worried that Jiang Zhennan would suddenly return, so she sent a lot of people to look for Jiang Zhennan’s whereabouts. However, after searching for more than half a year, they could not find any trace of Jiang Zhennan. Wen Yujing thought that Jiang Zhennan probably died outside.
After that, she sat in the position of the matriarch of the Duke’s estate with a clear conscience.
Until Jiang Zhennan suddenly changed his identity and returned, which shocked Wen Yujing.
She was very afraid that Jiang Yunfeng would acknowledge him as his son after seeing Jiang Zhennan’s appearance and how promising he was.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhennan had returned with a mask. Jiang Yunfeng could not see his face. Naturally, he had always thought that Jiang Zhennan was a
bastard. However, due to the reputation of the Duke’s estate, he had to acknowledge his son on the surface.
It could be said that Jiang Yunfeng hated Jiang Zhennan so much because he believed that Jiang Zhennan was a bastard. Secondly, it was naturally because of Jiang Zhennan’s fate as a jinx. Although he might not be Jiang Zhennan’s biological father, he did indeed have the title of a father. He was very afraid that Jiang Zhennan would really jinx him.
The reason why Wen Yujing was able to secure her position in the Duke’s House until now was not only because she had given birth to a descendant of the Jiang family but also because she had used some tricks to make Jiang Yunfeng believe that Jiang Zhennan was a bastard.
If he were to discover that Jiang Zhennan was somewhat similar to him now, he would obviously think that she was lying to him. She knew Jiang Yunfeng’s character very well. Even though Jiang Yunfeng was the one who disowned Jiang Zhennan, he would not think about his own mistakes and would only push the responsibility to others.
Therefore, when she heard that Jiang Zhennan did not wear a mask and exposed his true appearance to the public, her heart immediately tensed up, and she was extremely nervous.
She held her hands together and tightened them. Then, she asked Jiang Yunfeng carefully,” Master, did those who saw Jiang Zhennan’s face say anything else?”
Jiang Yunfeng frowned and looked at Wen Yujing suspiciously, but then he said angrily, “What can they say? I don’t want to hear anything about that bastard at all, so I just left.”
After listening to Jiang Yunfeng’s words, Wen Yujing’s worried heart finally calmed down.
She gently patted her heart and thought to herself, ‘This is good. They haven’t seen each other.’
Then, a good idea came to her. So what if they looked alike? As long as she casually spread the word that Jiang Zhennan had been given plastic surgery, no one would believe that this was Jiang Zhennan’s original appearance.
She was too nervous just now and scared herself. When she heard that Jiang Zhennan had suddenly appeared without a mask, she could not help but panic.
Wen Yujing immediately asked with a smile,” Old Master, do you think Nan ‘er looks like you?” As she spoke, she studied Jiang Yunfeng’s expression without showing any emotion.
When Jiang Yunfeng heard Wen Yujing’s words, he frowned tightly and said in disgust, “Why would that bastard look like me?”
