Chapter 1248: Wen Yujing"s Panic
Zhengguo Duke"s Mansion
Zhengguo Duke paced back and forth in the living room, and his face was ashen and furious. His expression was mixed with panic and unease!
Wen Yujing sat quietly in her seat, her expression even more nervous than Jiang Yunfeng"s.
Then, she shook hands and asked Jiang Yunfeng, "Master, then... Is Nan "er really coming back to Zhengguo Duke"s estate?"
Jiang Yunfeng said angrily," I heard about this from a n.o.ble in the palace. She secretly told me that His Majesty accidentally spilled the beans."
When Wen Yujing heard this, she asked in surprise," Old Master, which n.o.ble is it?"
There was obviously some jealousy in her tone.
Jiang Yunfeng glared at Wen Yujing and said sternly," Don"t ask what you shouldn"t ask!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yujing"s expression instantly turned grim. Her hands were tightly clenched into fists, and her nails dug into her flesh. However, she couldn"t show any dissatisfaction now. Otherwise, she would anger Jiang Yunfeng even more. It was a world of difference from the previous situation where they respected each other and loved each other!
When did this situation start?
Oh, right.
It was when Jiang Zhennan brought that b * tch to the Nanyuan Manor. She and Old Master wanted to threaten that b * tch to break off Ye "Er"s engagement.
However, she did not expect that the b * tch was so cunning that she lost face in front of everyone and even exposed her calves in front of the servants.
From then on, Old Master didn"t like her at all.
Because he thought from the bottom of his heart that she, as his wife, had actually revealed her fair calves in front of the servants and had completely lost his face.
However, at that time, even though Old Master had some feelings of rejection, at least he respected her as a Madam and would not reprimand her.
However, ever since she came up with the idea of using that b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s mother"s memorial tablet and corpse to threaten that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Jiang Zhennan, the old master"s att.i.tude towards her immediately changed drastically.
From being Jiang Yunfeng"s mistress to the matriarch of the Duke"s estate, she had been able to lord it over the Duke"s estate for more than twenty years. Other than her scheming and giving birth to a pair of children for the Duke"s estate, she had relied on Jiang Yunfeng"s love and respect for her for more than twenty years.
If she lost Jiang Yunfeng"s love and respect, she would lose her power as the mistress of the house and become another man"s possession.
However, if there were no Jiang Zhennan, then even if she lost the favor of Jiang Yunfeng, she would still be able to rely on her children to secure her position in the Duke"s estate.
Therefore, when that mysterious person asked her to cooperate and get rid of Jiang Zhennan and the entire Defender General"s Estate, she agreed without thinking.
The plan was for the mysterious man to give her a bottle of medicine and ask her to find a way to put it in the General"s study. The rest would be done by someone else.
If this were in the past, it would definitely be a simple matter.
However, ever since Jiang Zhennan suddenly returned last year and chased the Jiang siblings out of the General"s Estate, he had started to clean up the General"s Estate. He had cleaned up all the people she had arranged in the General"s Estate, whether they were on the surface or secretly.
Later on, she tried to get people in, but she did not succeed even once. It was really strange.
Therefore, it was not easy to move things into the study in the General"s Manor.
After that, she heard that the Ninth Princess Yuwen Ling liked Jiang Zhennan and would not marry anyone but him, so she had an idea.
First, she lied to Yuwen Ling. This was a medicine that made people fall in love at first sight. Then, she paid a high price to hire people from Yama Pavilion to pretend to be Yuwen Ling"s guards and put on a show to fool Yuwen Ling. Then, Yuwen Ling really believed that this medicine had such an effect. She used the imperial gold medal to enter the General"s residence. The people from Yama Pavilion who pretended to be guards next to Yuwen Ling then pretended to be Yuwen Ling"s most trusted servant girl, Tao "er. After entering the General"s residence, they waited for an opportunity to hide the thing in the General"s residence"s study.
Wen Yujing understood very well that Yuwen Ling was not a stupid princess. When she realized the truth, the princess would be angry at her and most likely bring the whole Zhengguo Duke"s manor down. However, since this was a poisoning, the princess couldn"t come after Wen Yujing openly.
However, what Wen Yujing did not expect was that Yuwen Ling drugging Jiang Zhennan would be exposed on the spot and chased out of the General"s Estate by Jiang Zhennan.
Fortunately, the mysterious man"s plan to get the medicine into the General"s Estate was considered a success.
When Yuwen Ling wanted to punish Wen Yujing, she used visiting distant relatives as an excuse to temporarily make Yuwen Ling unable to find her.
When Wen Yujing heard that Jiang Zhennan was put in prison and General"s Estate was raided, Wen Yujing did not cause any trouble. She hid in Duke Zhengguo"s Manor because she knew that there might be a storm in the palace.
If this storm could pa.s.s smoothly, then Zhengguo Duke"s manor and she would be able to get rid of Jiang Zhennan, who was a thorn in their side. Her position as the Mistress of Zhengguo Duke"s Manor would also be more stable because of Jiang Zhennan"s downfall. Jiang Yunfeng would not dare to neglect her as the wife because she bore the only heir of the Jiang family.
However, she had never expected that not only would Jiang Zhennan be fine, but he would also walk out of the palace safe and sound with his fiancée, who had embarra.s.sed her so much.
What was even more unexpected was that the b.a.s.t.a.r.d wanted to bring that b * tch back to Zhengguo Duke"s estate.
It was clear that he wanted to fulfill his status as the heir of Zhengguo Duke.
How could this be?
Duke Zhenguo"s estate belonged to Ye "er. What right did that b * stard have to enter Zhengguo Duke"s Manor?
What made her even more disappointed and panicked was that after Jiang Yunfeng received the news, his att.i.tude towards her was simply glaring at her.
Because of this, Jiang Yunfeng vented his anger at her.
In the past, she had something to rely on to refute Jiang Yunfeng.
But no, she had nothing.
Because Jiang Yunfeng had lost Jiang Zhenye and still had Jiang Zhennan. No matter how angry he was at Jiang Zhennan, no matter how he denied that Jiang Zhennan was a descendant of the Jiang family on the surface, in reality, he knew very well in his heart whether Jiang Zhennan was a real descendant of the Jiang family or not.
Therefore, no matter which brother inherited Zhengguo Duke"s estate, it would be considered a descendant of the Jiang Clan. Jiang Yunfeng would let down the ancestors of the Jiang Clan.
However, when Wen Yujing lost her son, Jiang Zhenye, she would have lost everything.
No matter what, she had to stop Jiang Zhennan, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, from moving into the Duke"s estate.
Thinking of this, Wen Yujing released her clenched fists.
She asked softly and carefully," Master, if this is true, what should we do?"
Hearing her question, Jiang Yunfeng stared at her for a long time without saying anything.
