Chapter 1221: Deviation!
Translator: Lonelytree
Yuwen Ling ran to the royal study. Before Eunuch Zhang could report, Yuwen Ling immediately barged into the study. She lowered her head slightly and knelt before Yuwen Longyan.” Father!”
The first time she saw Jiang Zhennan’s true appearance, a thought immediately came to her mind. She wanted to marry Jiang Zhennan.
Therefore, she first went to Consort De’s palace and told Consort De that she wanted to marry Jiang Zhennan. After Consort De e s strict rejection, she barged into the royal study, wanting her father to directly issue an imperial decree to bestow her marriage to Jiang Zhennan.
However, halfway through, she thought of what was said in the storybook. A girl must be reserved in order to get a man’s love.
That was why she did not tell her father that she wanted to marry Jiang
Zhennan. Instead, she asked a few questions about Jiang Zhennan. She did not expect her father to mention the marriage three years ago. She felt very guilty, but she was even more determined to marry Jiang Zhennan. However, in front of her father, she showed her girlish shyness. Now, she could not directly mention the matter of marrying Jiang Zhennan to her father.
She learned from Consort De that Jiang Zhennan actually had a fiancée.
When she heard that, she did not take it to heart at all. She went straight to the General’s residence to see Jiang Zhennan again, but she failed to meet him. However, she did exercise her rights as the future Young Madam of the General in advance.
However, when she went to the General’s Estate the next day, she was actually intercepted and refused entry.
What made her even angrier was that the reason for the interception was that the general was afraid that the future young madam would be unhappy.
It was just that she was in public at that time. She considered the nobility of being a princess and the dignity of the royal family, so she did not barge into the general’s residence.
Later on, when she heard that her father had gone to the Nanyuan Manor, she had a new plan. She wanted to see Jiang Zhennan again and interrogate him about his fiancée.
However, she did not expect that her father would not be biased towards her. Instead, she was reprimanded. The result of her probing was that Jiang Zhennan did not care about her at all.
This made her very angry. After all, she was a noble princess.
If she had fallen in love with Jiang Zhennan at first sight because of his looks and aura, then she would have been so persistent in marrying Jiang Zhennan later on to restore her pride,
‘Don’t you have a fiancée? Don’t you look down on this princess? After this princess marries you, this princess would like to see how loyal and loving you are to your fiancée. Hmph, this princess wants that woman to be forever a nameless and useless woman who can’t even be compared to a servant girl.
This princess wants you to give up on that slut and love this princess crazily!’
No one knew Yuwen Lings abnormal thoughts, not even her personal servant Xiao Tao. Consort De thought that her daughter had gone mad because of
Jiang Zhennan.
Well, it was not wrong that the princess had gone mad.
Later on, Wen Yujing gave her the “Love”, and she suddenly felt that her chance had come.
Yuwen Longyan frowned slightly when he saw Yuwen Ling barging into the royal study without permission. He looked up and saw some bruises on Yuwen
Ling’s face. He asked in surprise,” Ling ‘er, what happened to your face?”
Yuwen Ling shook his head sensibly and said,” Father, I just fell a few days ago. It’s fine.”
Yuwen Longyan immediately came down and said with heartache,” Did you let the imperial physician take a look? Have you applied medicine to the wound? We must make sure no scars are left behind.’
Yuwen Ling said,” The imperial physician was invited to take a look. The imperial physician said that these injuries were not serious. With medicine, there will be no scars.’
Yuwen Longyan nodded.” That’s good!”
Then, he came back to her senses and asked in confusion,”Ling ‘er, what’s wrong? Why are you kneeling so suddenly? If there’s anything, let’s talk when you get up!’
However, Yuwen Ling insisted on kneeling. Her tone seemed to be pleading, and her eyes were firm and determined. She said,” Father, Ling ‘er wants to ask you to bestow her with a marriage!!
Yuwen Longyan’s face immediately darkened, and he asked sternly,” Bestow marriage? You and Minister Jiang?”
Yuwen Ling bit her lip and didn’t say anything. This was a silent agreement.
Yuwen Longyan immediately asked in a dignified manner,” Last time 1 told you that three years ago, I arranged a marriage between you and Jiang Zhennan. You were extremely unwilling and even threatened me with your life because of this. I won’t hold it against you. However, Minister Jiang was humiliated by you to the point that all the civil and military officials of the court laughed at him, and even the people of the world laughed at him. After that incident, you still have the face to ask me to bestow you with marriage to
Minister Jiang?”
He doted on Yu Wenling, but he would not do so without a bottom line.
Yuwen Lings face turned pale after being reprimanded by Yuwen Longyan, but she still gritted her teeth and cried,” Father, I know I was wrong! Three years ago, Ling ‘er was still ignorant about relationships. When I heard that father wanted to bestow Ling er to that ferocious War God General, Ling ‘er was naturally at a loss, afraid, and did not know what was wrong. Therefore, I resisted father in ignorance and even humiliated the general! Now that Ling ‘er thought about it, I felt especially guilty. Therefore, I wanted to make up for this guilt in my heart and ask father to help me!”
Yuwen Ling then kowtowed to Yuwen Longyan and said sincerely,” Please grant my wish!” Yuwen Ling would only choose to admit his mistake more sincerely.
Yuwen Longyan asked expressionlessly,” So, your compensation is to marry
Jiang Zhennan?”
Yuwen Ling said firmly,” Yes!”
Yuwen Longyan looked at Yuwen Lings stubborn and determined expression and continued to ask,” Even if he already has a fiancée, and you can only be his concubine?”
Hearing Yuwen Longyan’s question, Yuwen Lings pale face suddenly changed. She gritted her teeth and said,” Yes!” Then, she asked sharply,” Father, do you think that Great General’s fiancée is really worthy of Great General?”
Yuwen Longyan frowned when he heard Yuwen Lings words. He stared at
Yuwen Ling sharply and asked,” Ling P er, what did you hear?”
Yuwen Ling looked at her father’s dignified expression, and her heart thumped. Her expression was a little flustered. At this moment, she could not guess the intention of her father’s question.
However, she bit her lower lip and said directly,” Ling ‘er heard that the
General’s fiancée is the sister of the Great Royal Merchant Liu Yichen, the Eldest Miss of Willow Leaf Manor! Therefore, Ling ‘er felt that how could a young lady from a merchant family be worthy of a grand general of a country?”
Yuwen Longyan didn’t agree with Yuwen Lings words. Instead, he continued to ask, “Is that all you know? Is that why you judge that person as unworthy of the Great General?”
Yuwen Ling did not understand why her father asked this, but she insisted,”yes!”
Yuwen Longyan stared at Yuwen Ling for a while, then sighed and said,” Forget it! If you really want to marry Minister Jiang, Father agrees. However, the prerequisite is that you must obtain Minister Jiang’s personal consent before I bestow the marriage. Do you understand?”
Yuwen Ling immediately said joyfully,” Thank you, Imperial Father, for your help!”
