Chapter 896 - 896 The Plan
896 The Plan
Jiang Zhenye heaved a sigh of relief and said happily, “That’s good. I don’t want to marry that fat, ugly, and ugly monster. I’m definitely going to marry the most beautiful woman in the capital, Zhou Zhiru! Mother, when are you going to the Zhou family to ask for marriage?”
Zhou Zhiru was the second daughter of the Zhou family, the younger sister of the Imperial Noble Consort Zhou Wenya, and the aunt of the third Prince!
If Jiang Zhenye was the heir to the throne of the defender Duke, he might be qualified to marry Zhou Zhiru.
However, other than his identity as the second young master of Duke Zhenguo’s mansion, Jiang Zhenye had no official position or identity. How could the Zhou family marry Zhou Zhiru, who could bring great benefits to the Zhou family, to Jiang Zhenye?
So, it was simply a dream for Jiang Zhenye to marry Zhou Zhiru now. Wen Yujing was well aware of this, but she couldn’t tell Jiang Zhenye directly, so she only said, ” alright, if you can successfully cancel your marriage with Zeng Yanli this time, mother will send someone to the Zhou family to propose marriage.” These were just words of comfort for Jiang Zhenye.
When Jiang Wen heard this, her eyes flashed and she smiled. “Mother, if that’s really the case, that’s great. Brother, congratulations, I’ll have a beautiful sister-in-law then.”
Jiang Zhenye raised his head smugly and said, ” only a beauty like Zhou Zhiru is worthy of your brother.”
Looking at the proud siblings, Wen Yujing was a little worried.
She looked at the sky which was getting darker and darker, and her heart, which was originally quite confident, suddenly tensed up.
She thought to himself, ‘the old master hasn’t returned for so long. Did something happen?’
Just as she was about to call the Butler to inquire about it, he saw Jiang Yunfeng return with blood all over his forehead.
Wen Yujing was shocked and immediately cried out in worry, ” old master, what’s wrong with you? Who did this?”
When Jiang Wen and Jiang Zhenye saw Jiang Yunfeng’s head covered in blood, they were immediately shocked and cried out worriedly, “Father, what’s wrong? Did you encounter an assassin on the way?”
Wen Yujing immediately shouted to the outside, “Butler, quickly call the doctor!”
Then, he said to Jiang Yunfeng, ” old master, please sit down first!”
Wen Yujing was about to help him sit down, but suddenly, Jiang Yunfeng pushed her away. His sharp eyes glared at Wen Yujing and he roared at her, ” it’s all your fault!”
The three of them were stunned by Jiang Yunfeng’s actions.
When they heard Jiang Yunfeng’s reproachful tone, they were even more baffled.
Jiang Wen was the first to blame her father, ” father, this is mother. What’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so angry at mother?”
Jiang Zhenye also chided, ” father, why can’t we talk things out? why are you so angry at mother? ”
However, Jiang Yunfeng roared at his children, ” shut up!”
When Jiang Wen and Jiang Zhenye saw that their father was so angry, they immediately shut up and did not dare to speak.
Jiang Yunfeng turned to Wen Yujing and said angrily, ” it’s all your fault! It’s all your stupid idea that made the Emperor so angry!” As he spoke, he pointed at his bleeding forehead.
Wen Yujing was even more confused. She asked, “Old master, didn’t you go to the palace to beg the Emperor to take back the Imperial decree? How did this get involved with my idea? Why was the Emperor so angry? Old master, you have to make it clear to me!”
It would have been better if she hadn’t asked. Once she asked, Jiang Yunfeng thought of the scene in the Imperial study and became even angrier. He shouted at Wen Yujing, ” it’s you. Your idea almost killed me and almost destroyed the entire Duke Zhengguo’s mansion. You evil spirit!”
Wen Yujing was also angry at being scolded and shouted at for no reason. She asked sternly, ” Jiang Yunfeng, you better explain yourself clearly. How did I harm you? How did I destroy Duke Zhengguo’s mansion? I only want you to go to the palace to break off the engagement for Ye ‘Er. How are things that serious?”
“The crime of deceiving the emperor, disobeying the decree, do you think these are serious?” Jiang Yunfeng said angrily.
When the three of them heard this, their faces turned pale. They asked in disbelief and confusion, “old master, what’s going on? ”
They absolutely believed that this matter could not be something that Jiang Yunfeng had casually said in a fit of anger.
Something must have happened in the palace.
Jiang Yunfeng suddenly sat down dejectedly and said dejectedly, ” in order to break off the engagement for Ye ‘Er, you sent people to spread rumors about that unfilial son. The Emperor already knew about it! That’s why the Emperor was angry and thought that we were toying with him like a fool!”
He thought of the moment he entered the Imperial study when he knelt down and begged the Emperor to spare Ye ‘Er using the rumors. The Emperor did not say anything and asked eunuch Liu to give him a book.
As soon as he flipped through the book, he was so scared that he fell to the ground and quickly begged the Emperor for forgiveness.
That was because the booklet recorded the source of the rumors and the detailed plan of how the couple had conspired to break off the engagement for his Ye ‘er.
At that moment, he suddenly understood that Duke Zhengguo’s mansion’s every move could not be hidden from the Emperor!
At the same time, he was even more frightened that they were all under the emperor’s surveillance.
After listening to Jiang Yunfeng’s story, Wen Yujing almost fainted.
She muttered in disbelief, ” how could this be? How did this happen?”
All of a sudden, they didn’t know what to do.
…
Guo Bing ate the purple crystal grapes in his hand and said in a good mood, “boss, it’s just as you said. Jiang Yunfeng entered the palace to break off the engagement, but the result was good. He was so scared that he almost rolled back to Duke Zhengguo’s mansion. Thinking of his sorry state, I really wanted to laugh. Haha …”
Jiang Zhennan was drinking his wine.
Guo Bing laughed for a while, then restrained his expression and asked seriously, ” boss, I heard that after the Emperor listened to your suggestion, he wanted to use your country estate as an Experimental Farm, but you have already given it to miss Lin. What are you going to do now? Are you going to ask the country estate back? Is that even possible?”
