871 Because You’re not Worthy
In fact, she wanted to know what the royal family’s annual banquet was like.
..
Jiang Zhennan looked at Jiang Yunfeng’s angry face, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He was in a good mood as he said, ” if the Zhengguo Duke really wants to seek justice for your son and daughter, I will accept it! I just don’t know how Zhengguo Duke is going to do that.”
When Jiang Yunfeng heard that, the anger in his heart soared to the sky, he pointed angrily at Jiang Zhennan and shouted, ” unfilial son, how dare you not address me as your father? As the defender-general of the state, do you still have any manners?”
When Jiang Zhennan heard his words, he was not moved or angry at all. Instead, he said slowly and coldly, ” I’m sorry, Zhengguo Duke. My mother died when I was young. As for my father, I haven’t seen him since I was two or three. Therefore, no one has ever taught me how to address a stranger, let alone talk about manners!”
As soon as Jiang Zhennan said this, he immediately heard someone burst out laughing.
Everyone looked at the source of the laughter. Guo Bing, who was laughing, seemed to have realized that he had lost his composure. He said in embarrassment, ” I’m sorry, I just thought of a funny joke and laughed unconsciously.”
After that, he walked towards Jiang Zhennan and said, ” I say, big brother, I really pity you!”
Ever since he was young, other than the tears of his mother and his sisters, Guo Bing was not afraid of anything.
Therefore, he was not afraid of offending Zhengguo Duke.
Jiang Yunfeng was so angry that his face turned green.
However, he didn’t dare to get angry at Guo Bing and could only continue to target Jiang Zhennan. He said angrily, ” Jiang Zhennan, you unfilial son, what are you saying? Do you still have me in your eyes?”
Jiang Zhennan replied coldly, ” no!”
Jiang Yunfeng’s face was livid as he pointed at Jiang Zhennan. He wanted to scold him again, but he did not know how to scold him. “you …”
Wen Yujing quickly patted Jiang Yunfeng’s back and tried to persuade him, ” master, don’t be angry! Nan ‘er is still young, don’t lower yourself to his level! Why can’t we talk nicely? Must you shout and get angry?”
Then, she looked at Jiang Zhennan again and said with some disappointment and heartache, ” Nan ‘er, what you said really made mother sad. Although I’m not your biological mother, I’ve raised you since you were young.
“When you want to study and learn how to read, I also invite those famous teachers to teach you. If you didn’t chase them away time and time again …
“I wanted to teach you personally, but you gave me the cold shoulder.
“As a stepmother, I can’t hit or scold you. Otherwise, rumors will spread that I’m mistreating you.
“Sigh, I can only let you be. That’s why you don’t understand those manners now!
“If I had known earlier, I would have taught you a good lesson even if I would be called a vicious stepmother!”
Wen Yujing’s mouth was really sharp.
She had completely pushed the blame on Jiang Zhennan.
She implied that Jiang Zhennan had been arrogant and willful since he was young. Not only did he not study hard, but he also drove away his teacher.
Wen Yujing had tried to personally teach him, and he had even made things difficult for her.
This was the so-called stepmother’s difficulty!
In short, Jiang Zhennan had had an opinion of her since he was a child. So, whether he had a good upbringing or not had nothing to do with the couple. It was completely Jiang Zhennan’s own willfulness and insolence.
Many people who knew the truth heard Wen Yujing’s words, and their mouths twitched. They then sneered.
But this was their family matter, and it had nothing to do with them. They just had to make a face and watch the fight.
Guo Bing, however, was not afraid of the matter blowing up. “Oh. I didn’t know Zhengguo Duke’s wife was so attentive to my big brother. It was really respectable and lamentable! However,”
Then, he changed the topic and said with a stern expression, ” but why did I hear that my eldest brother has been living with a nanny in a dilapidated courtyard in Duke Zhengguo’s mansion since he was three months old? When it was hot, he was wrapped in an old cotton-padded coat. Because he did not have summer clothes to wear and there was no charcoal in the cold weather, he was shivering all over. Fortunately, big brother was lucky enough to survive and live to be a great general!
“Madam, could it be that these rumors are all rumors?”
Wen Yujing’s expression froze, and then she smiled stiffly. “young master Guo, these are all rumors. Why do you have to take it seriously? Nan ‘Er, don’t you think mother is right?”
This was a family scandal. Wen Yujing was very confident that Jiang Zhennan would never allow anyone to tarnish Duke Zhengguo’s mansion. After all, he was still the eldest son of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion, and in the future, he was very likely to be the eldest young master of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion!
Therefore, no matter what, Jiang Zhennan had to protect the reputation of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion.
However, Wen Yujing didn’t know that in the past, Jiang Zhennan allowed Wen Yujing to slander him because he didn’t care. He was already the defender-general of the state and had flown away from the Zhengguo Mansion.
But now, his heart belonged to someone else.
He didn’t want his bad reputation to affect their relationship.
Even though she had never cared about her so-called reputation.
Jiang Zhennan sneered and said, “Madam, please be clear about this. I only have one mother, but she has already passed away. So, please don’t use lecture me as my mother. Because,”
His sharp eyes swept over Wen Yujing, but she felt as if he was going to cut her into pieces. Her heart tightened.
Jiang Zhennan said coldly and emotionlessly, ” you are not worthy!”
