Chapter 146: I Dare to Marry, Do you Dare to Marry Me?
Jiang Zhennan suppressed his anger and asked coldly, “How did you plan to deal with Miss Yue ‘Er back then?”
From the beginning to the end, Jiang Zhennan had always referred to Lin Yuelan as Miss or Lady Yue ‘Er. If Li Cuihua was smart, she would have left after noticing that. Then, she wouldn’t be in trouble. It was a pity that Li Cuihua was not smart.
When Li Cuihua heard Jiang Zhennan’s question, she said angrily, “It’s embarrassing that my family has a jinx. However, once she is dead, the Lin Family will be able to enjoy peace and quiet.
“Anyway, she was just a little girl. If she’s dead, so be it. It’s best that she dies so that my family is not harmed. We’ll just announce to the public that there was an accident.
“However, that brat actually dared to run out to call for help. She brought the village chief and his son over. Lin Mingqing saved that wretched brat with just a few words.
“I’m actually very happy that Lin Mingqing has ended up like this. That’s what he deserves for being a busybody!”
Three years ago, it was Lin Mingqing’s fault that the jinx survived, so Li Cuihua was very glad that Lin Mingqing was a cripple now.
Jiang Zhennan and the men were shocked. They couldn’t imagine how despairing Lin Yuelan must have felt when her closest family wanted to kill her when she was only nine. If this were any other girl, they would have killed themselves already.
Li Cuihua didn’t notice the anger in the men’s eyes and continued, “You guys don’t know this, but ever since Lin Mingqing’s incident, all the villagers hated the jinx to the core. When the villagers were unhappy, they would go to look for her. Even the children in the village would bully her for fun.” The more Li Cuihua spoke, the more excited she became. She was so excited that she was almost dancing with joy. She completely ignored the expressions of the people in front of her. They were as dark and terrifying as a storm.
“That wretched girl deserves to have a lowly life, to be defiled and disdained by others...”
“Shut up!” Jiang Zhennan shouted in anger.
Li Cuihua’s voice halted. When she saw the ugly expressions of the men, her face immediately turned pale, and she immediately shut up!
“Get lost!” Guo Bing said in annoyance.
...
The journey to Mount Da Ao continued.
Jiang Zhennan would never have thought that someone’s fate would be so similar to his.
However, no matter what, he was still the legitimate son of the Zhengguo court. Even though they hated him, the servants didn’t dare to do anything to him. He was abandoned by his father but it couldn’t change the fact that he was the future heir of the Zhengguo Court. As long as the Emperor didn’t strip him of his inheritance right, no matter how much his father disliked him, it couldn’t change the fact that Jiang Zhennan would inherit Zhengguo court in the future.
This was something everyone in Zhengguo court knew. Therefore, although the servants were very contemptuous and disdainful of this young master who had no mother’s love and father’s love, they did not dare to lay a hand on him.
They would only treat him poorly in terms of material goods. For example, they would not give him food or give him plain soup. Or, in the middle of winter, they would not give him a quilt or a heater...
After Jiang Zhennan was assigned a side courtyard to live his life, his life became more difficult. However, Jiang Zhennan only saw it as training.
In comparison, Lin Yuelan had it much worse. Lin Yuelan was bullied both physically and mentally. Just how tenacious her mental constitution must be to survive until now?
Jiang Zhennan clenched his fists tightly, and his blue veins bulged. The purplish-black blood vessels seemed to be on the verge of exploding at any moment.
Guo Bing and the others were lamenting the tragedy of Lin Yuelan’s fate. Lin Yuelan, they knew, was so clever, knowledgeable, and loved money. She was agile, strong in martial arts, and also had a special technique that no one understood.
In fact, Lin Yuelan they knew was completely different from the young woman the old woman described.
