Chapter 1009 Puppet
Just as the plaque was about to land on Jiang Zhenzhen"s head, a gust of wind came from somewhere.

This gust of wind inexplicably blew the plaque to the side, and it just happened to brush past Jiang Zhenye and fell straight in front of him.
All the people who were watching were dumbfounded and shocked!
Was this saying that Jiang Zhenye"s luck was too good and he should not have died or was Jiang Zhenye"s life too tough that Zeng Yanli"s jinx might not be able to jinx him?
But no matter what, compared to Zeng Yanli"s previous husbands, he was much luckier.
He did not die in an accident on the day of the wedding!
By the time everyone reacted, especially the entire Zeng Manor, they all heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that the young master was safe.
They consoled themselves secretly, "It"s alright, it"s alright. This time, the groom"s life will probably be tougher."
The Zeng Manor"s servants quickly picked up the fallen plaque to prevent it from blocking the road.
Then, the fat matchmaker heaved a sigh of relief and said to Jiang zhenye with a relaxed smile, "Groom, please!"
The moment the plaque fell, Jiang Zhenye was so shocked that he couldn"t react at all. His mind went blank and he was dumbfounded.
However, one of his hands was tightly holding the protective talisman that he had taken from Lin yuelan.
Then, with his eyes wide open, he watched as the Zeng Manor"s plaque was about to smash into his head.
He didn"t know if it was because of the safety talisman or because he was too lucky, but a sudden gust of wind actually blew the direction of the plaque.
And then, he survived!
However, he did not dare to let out a sigh of relief.
By the time he came back to his senses, his face had turned extremely pale, and his expression was extremely frightened. He muttered in a panic, "No, no, I"m not going to marry her anymore!"
As he spoke, he turned to leave in a panic.
However, this was a marriage bestowed by the Emperor.
No matter how great the risk was, they had to complete the wedding. Otherwise, neither Duke Zhengguo"s mansion nor the Minister of Revenue"s mansion could escape punishment.
Therefore, no one dared to let Jiang Zhenye leave.
"Young master, you can"t leave! If you leave and miss the auspicious time, no one will be able to bear the responsibility when His Majesty blames us." The servant who had come to fetch the bride hurriedly advised Jiang Zhenzhen, "Young master, the danger just now has pa.s.sed. I believe that young master is very lucky and will be fine."
"Yes, young master. If you go back now, you won"t be able to escape the crime of being beheaded!"
At this moment, Mrs. Zeng walked out and snorted at Jiang Zhenye. "Jiang Zhenya, if you go back now, I"ll immediately go to the palace and report to the Emperor. When the time comes, the crime of disobeying the emperor"s will is none of the Zeng Manor"s business!"
She was clearly threatening him.
Mrs. Zeng had a plan in mind.
Since Jiang Zhenye had managed to escape the danger just now, perhaps Jiang Zhenye was her daughter"s destined man.
That was because none of her daughter"s previous betrothed was able to escape death.
So, Jiang Zhenye and her daughter might be a match made in heaven. Her daughter might be happy for the rest of her life.
Since she had already determined that Jiang Zhenye was Zeng Yanli"s happiness, how could Mrs. Zeng let Jiang Zhenye escape?
Jiang Zhenye"s mind went blank.
He didn"t want to marry her at all, but he couldn"t escape.
In the end, his mind went blank, and his expression was numb as he allowed others to take him to marry Zeng Yanli.
Duke Zhengguo mansion...
Ever since Jiang Zhenye went to fetch the bride, the sudden appearance of a b.a.s.t.a.r.d grandson made the atmosphere indescribably strange.
right to not say congratulations either.
Duke Zhengguo"s mansion only had a few descendants. Duke It wasn"t right for people to congratulate the couple, but it wasn"t right to not say congratulations either.
Duke Zhengguo"s mansion only had a few descendants. Duke Zhengguo was definitely happy to have a grandson.
However, the Zeng Manor was not easy to deal with.
They just didn"t know what Zeng Yanli would do after she entered the house.
In a corner, Jiang Zhennan and Lin yuelan were casually eating and drinking at the wine table. Oh, to be exact, Lin yuelan was the one eating and drinking. Jiang Zhennan just watched her eat from the side, and from time to time, he would put some food in her bowl. The thick lips that were revealed under the mask were obviously wearing a very pampered smile.
Yuwen feiye and Yuwen Xuhong, who were sitting at the same table as them, were holding a small wine gla.s.s in each hand. Then, they looked at Lin yuelan, who was eating and drinking without any regard for her image, in surprise.
Why did this person look like she hadn"t eaten in 800 years?
The two of them squinted their eyes, showing curiosity.
"Yue "Er, eat slowly!" Jiang Zhennan didn"t care about the looks of the people around him at all. He continued to put food into Lin yuelan"s bowl while persuading her. "These dishes are a thousand times worse than the ones you made. How come you can eat them with such flavor?"
Lin yuelan swallowed the food in her mouth and said, " I am in a good mood today, so my appet.i.te is good. If you have a good appet.i.te, whatever you eat will be delicious!"
The people around them were speechless.
Although Duke Zhengguo"s mansion was hosting a happy event, everyone knew that there was no atmosphere of a happy event at all.
However, this person said that she was in a good mood.
However, when they glanced at Jiang Zhennan, who was next to her, they immediately understood.
It seemed like she was happy on the general"s behalf.It was so obvious, but the general didn"t care. He was so carefree. Wasn"t he afraid that Duke Zhengguo would get angry at him?
However, from the looks of it, he didn"t even care about the princes and the Imperial grand princes, so of course, he wasn"t afraid of Duke Zhengguo.
After an unknown period of time, someone outside the door immediately shouted, "The bride and groom are back!"
All of a sudden, many people who wanted to watch the show rushed out of the door.
After Jiang Zhenye left, Wen Yujing was very worried.
This was because of the five husbands that Zeng Yanli had married before, two of them had died on the day of their wedding.
Therefore, she was also afraid that something would happen to Jiang Zhenye.
When she heard that the groom had returned, she immediately walked out of the door in excitement.
As for Jiang Yunfeng, he was entertaining the guests. In fact, he was also worried. Now that he heard that the people had returned, the stone in his heart immediately fell down, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Yujing rushed to the door and saw that Jiang Zhenye was safe and sound. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief but then found that Jiang Zhenye"s expression was a little strange. He looked dull and more like a little frightened. He was obviously frightened.
Wen Yujing immediately asked worriedly, "Ye "er, what"s wrong with you? "
Jiang zhenye just walked numbly, completely like a puppet.
Wen Yujing called him a few times, but Jiang Zhenye didn"t respond.
Wen Yujing immediately asked the servant who was supporting Jiang Zhenye, "What"s wrong with young master? "
The manservant lowered his head and replied, " Madam, when we were welcoming the bride just now, the Zeng Manor"s plaque almost fell on the young master"s head. The young master might have been frightened. "
"what? " Wen Yujing asked in shock and fear.
Then, she quickly walked up to Jiang Zhenye and sized him up. She asked worriedly, " Ye "er, where are you hurt? Say something, don"t scare your mother, okay?"
The manservant lowered his head and said to Wen Yujing, " Madam, the young master was not hit, so he is not injured. I guess it was just a shock. Maybe he"ll be fine after a while!"
Wen Yujing immediately vented her anger on the manservant and scolded, "Shut up! Your young master was almost hit by the signboard. You didn"t even look after your master well. Men, drag this dog slave who can"t protect his master down and beat him to death!"
The manservant"s face turned pale with fear and he immediately begged, " Madam, please spare me! Please spare me!"
The people who followed Zeng Yanli felt that Wen Yujing"s actions were inappropriate.
The matchmaker in heavy makeup standing in front of the bridal sedan immediately came forward and said in a low voice, " Madam, today is a day of great celebration. It"s not appropriate to see blood! Plus, the second young master managed to avoid a calamity, and that was a blessing. After great disasters, good fortune will come. Madam, can you let him off today and talk about it tomorrow?"
Although Wen Yujing didn"t like this marriage, the fact was that today was indeed Jiang Zhenye"s big day. He was going to get married. If she really killed the servant and blood was spilled, then bad luck would follow.
Wen Yujing thought for a moment and asked, "Matchmaker, you"ve seen my Ye "er"s condition. It"s impossible for him to go on with the wedding ceremony. What do you think we should do?"
As long as they didn"t go through the wedding ceremony, they weren"t husband and wife.
Therefore, when she saw Jiang Zhenye"s expression, Wen Yujing immediately came up with a plan.
Delay the wedding ceremony!
The matchmaker frowned, not knowing what to do.
However, there were so many important people there today. Whether the wedding ceremony was held or not was not up to her, a matchmaker.
"No. The wedding has to happen today!" The bride in the sedan immediately said loudly.
