Chapter 974 - 974 Return to the Duke Mansion
974 Return to the Duke Mansion
When Jiang Zhennan returned to Duke Zhengguo’s mansion, the servants were all stunned.
Who was Jiang Zhennan? Who in the world didn’t know this?
But the problem was that everyone in the capital knew that after Jiang Zhennan became the great general, he had never stepped into Duke Zhengguo’s mansion.
To the public, it was said that the general was busy, but in reality, only the people in the two manors knew that the two families were almost enemies.
Moreover, when Jiang Zhennan was not in Beijing, Jiang Zhenye and Jiang Wen were living in the General’s residence. However, as soon as Jiang Zhennan returned, he would drive the siblings out of the General’s residence.
After this incident, Madam was really furious.
Their master, Madam, young master, and young miss were all very disdainful. They even hated Jiang Zhennan. As for Jiang Zhennan, he didn’t have any feelings for the people of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion. His sister and brother were living in the General’s mansion, and he drove them away as he pleased!
Of course, the grudges between the eldest son of Duke Zhengguo and Duke Zhengguo mansion, they, as servants, were definitely not clear about it!
So when they saw Jiang Zhennan’s return, they were still very surprised!
They were secretly guessing that it was because of his brother, Jiang Zhenye’s, marriage.
However, they didn’t have the guts to go up and ask.
At this time, the Butler slowly walked over and said to Jiang Zhennan, ” Young master, Madam is waiting for you in the wing room!”
He called Jiang Zhennan a young master, but his expression and actions showed no respect for Jiang Zhennan, the eldest young master of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion. It was more of a kind of neglect and contempt.
After the Butler finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Jiang Zhennan’s response, as if he was leading the way for Jiang Zhennan.
Jiang Zhennan did not say much and just followed behind the Butler.
When they reached the door of the wing room, the Butler immediately said respectfully, ” Madam, I’ve brought the eldest young master here.”
“let him in!” Wen Yujing’s voice came from inside.
Without waiting for the Butler to let him in, Jiang Zhennan stepped directly into the wing room.
He asked sternly, “You’re threatening me with my mother’s remains. What are you trying to do? ”
There were only the two of them here, so she stopped pretending. She sneered directly, ” Hmph, don’t you know what I want you to do? ”
Jiang Zhennan said, “Do you want me to break off the engagement for Jiang Zhenye? ”
“That’s right!” Wen Yujing replied.
“Hmph, it’s easy for you to say. This marriage was bestowed by His Majesty’s decree. Why would he break off the marriage just because I say so?” Jiang Zhennan would not be so easily threatened.
Wen Yujing still sneered. “Hmph, I don’t care. I only want to see my Ye ‘er and Zeng Yanli’s engagement broken off! I know you have the ability to do so.”
At this point, she turned to Jiang Zhennan angrily and said, “If it weren’t for you, my Ye ‘er would not have been suddenly given such an embarrassing marriage by the Emperor. Jiang Zhennan, I have really underestimated you!”
Jiang Zhennan snorted coldly and said, ” Hmph, it’s obviously the result of your own actions!”
If she hadn’t been so bent on matchmaking him to marry Zeng Yanli, she wouldn’t have angered him and made him directly use his achievements to raise conditions with the Emperor, which was to have the Emperor bestow the marriage between Jiang Zhenye and Zeng Yanli.
He just wanted to let them know that he, Jiang Zhennan, was not a child who could be easily manipulated by them.
When Wen Yujing heard Jiang Zhennan’s words, she was so angry that her face immediately turned green and red.
Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Zhennan said directly, ” I can break off the engagement if you want. I have two requests!”
Wen Yujing was livid with anger, and her face was extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, ” Jiang Zhennan, you still dare to make requests of me? What right do you have to make requests of me? ”
Jiang Zhennan ignored Wen Yujing’s anger and said directly, “First, I want to go to the Jiang family’s ancestral Hall to see my mother’s memorial tablet. Second, I want to go to the Jiang family’s ancestral grave to see my mother’s gravestone!”
Wen Yujing listened to Jiang Zhennan’s two direct requests, and her face turned black and blue.
After thinking about it, she immediately rejected, “Impossible!”
That b * tch’s memorial tablet wasn’t even in the Jiang clan’s ancestral Hall. There wasn’t even a memorial tablet, so how could she let him see it?
Secondly, this b * tch was not buried in the Jiang clan’s ancestral grave but in a random place in the wilderness.
Moreover, even if it was for the sake of having a bargaining chip in her hand, she couldn’t possibly reveal that b * tch’s location to Jiang Zhennan.
Jiang Zhennan seemed to have expected such an outcome.
He said directly, “When you can do these two things, I will go to the palace to break off the engagement for your son. However, you must remember that your son’s wedding is the day after tomorrow. You only have one chance!”
“Your mother is in my hands. Aren’t you afraid …” Wen Yujing said bitterly.
At this point, she could not continue.
Because Jiang Zhennan’s sharp eyes were staring at her fiercely, and then his thick lips coldly spat out two words, “If my mother’s bones are ground into ashes, then I don’t know what will happen to your son. In any case, your son will marry a jinx, won’t he?”
This meant that if Jiang Zhenye were to die at any moment, everyone would think that he had been jinxed to death by Zeng Yanli and would not suspect him.
Hearing such a threat, Wen Yujing’s face turned pale, and her whole body trembled. She said in disbelief, ” You… Are you threatening me?”
Jiang Zhennan said coldly, “Were you threatening me?”
You threatened this general, so this general can threaten you in return!
Let’s see if my mother is more important or your son?
However, to Wen Yujing, there was simply no comparison.
Of course, her Ye ‘er was more important. As for that dead b * tch, how could she be more important than her Ye ‘er?
Wen Yujing had never thought that Jiang Zhennan would actually have such a ruthless move.
She said resentfully, ” I’ve really underestimated you!” Then, she immediately said, “Alright, I promise you! However, you have to get this done first!”
When Jiang Zhennan heard Wen Yujing’s reply, although no expression could be seen on his masked face, the slightly upturned lips that were not covered by the silver mask and the two holes in his eyes all showed his sarcasm and mockery.
Did Wen Yujing really think he was a three-year-old child or a fool?
Work for her first?
When the matter was settled, they would have one less troublesome matter to deal with. But what about him? This weakness was still in their hands. Would they bring his mother out at any time to threaten him to do things?
However, he didn’t try to defend himself. Instead, he said coldly, “I must first see my mother’s memorial tablet and her grave! Then, I’ll agree to whatever you say! Goodbye!”
Without waiting for Wen Yujing’s response, he left. After taking two steps, he stopped and said, ” Oh, the wedding will be the day after tomorrow! However, I’m not a patient person!”
He was telling Wen Yujing that he could wait, but Jiang Zhenye could not!
In fact, this was also a reminder to Wen Yujing that she could only cancel the engagement today or tomorrow. Otherwise, no one could change the outcome!
This was an engagement bestowed by the Emperor, unless the heavens stepped in, the Emperor would definitely not slap his own mouth and make them break off the engagement.
Wen Yujing also suddenly thought of this, and her face became even uglier.
She was angry, anxious, and furious.
Previously, she had thought that Jiang Zhennan would obey her since she had Yuan Tongtong’s bones.
Therefore, she was not in such a hurry.
However, she did not expect that this B * stard …
Looking at Jiang Zhennan’s back as he walked away, Wen Yujing silently remembered this loss.
In the future, when dealing with Jiang Zhennan, she really had to be careful. Otherwise, if she were not careful, she would be retaliated against by him.
The few losses she had suffered before were the most profound lessons for her.
She restrained the expression on her face, and in a moment, she returned to the dignified and noble woman in front of others.
She called the Butler over and said, “Ah Ping, go to the Wen residence immediately and ask my brother to send someone to move that b * tch’s body next to the Jiang family’s ancestral grave. Remember, do it well, and don’t let anyone see through it. This has to look like an old grave that was made more than twenty years ago.
“Second, have someone immediately make that b * tch’s spirit tablet and secretly place it in the Jiang clan’s ancestral Hall! Remember, you must be quick. These two matters are related to Ye ‘er’s breaking off the engagement.”
The Butler, Jiang Jiaping, immediately replied, “Yes, I’ll do it immediately!”
But then he asked doubtfully, ” But, Madam, will Jiang Zhennan really be so obedient?”
Wen Yujing had obviously thought of this as well. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Ah Ping, how about we put an empty coffin next to the Jiang family’s ancestral grave? As for that b * tch’s corpse, we will leave it alone for the time being.
“As long as that b * tch’s corpse is in our hands, that B * stard will always have some qualms. We also have a bargaining chip in our hands to deal with him!”
Jiang Jiaping thought for a moment and replied, “Okay, I’ll do it immediately!
After the Butler left, Wen Yujing finally calmed down. Then, she sneered and said, ” Hmph, Jiang Zhennan, didn’t you want to see the memorial tablet and tombstone? Alright, I’ll make a memorial tablet and tombstone for you to see! As for whether or not you can see your wretched mother, that will depend on whether I agree or not!”
