Chapter 944
944 Resentment
The capital
Jiang Zhennan once again disappeared. This time, he disappeared openly, but no one knew where he went. He disappeared secretly, but those in the know understood where he went.
However, Jiang Zhennan’s disappearance this time moved the hearts of all the people.
The people on each side had secretly sent people to monitor the defender-General’s mansion and Duke Guo’s mansion as if they wanted to find the whereabouts of Jiang Zhennan or Guo Bing from these two places.
In Duke zhengguo’s mansion, there was a huge commotion.
However, an Imperial edict had just come from the Imperial Palace. It was a good date set by the Imperial Observatory for the marriage. The 9th of the second month was such an auspicious day.
The whole family of Duke zhengguo’s mansion took this like a bolt from the blue.
They thought that as long as the Imperial astronomer had not set a date, there would be room for negotiation.
Although the Emperor was very angry at their plot to break off the engagement, what if Zeng Yanli, the Jinx, really jinxed Jiang Zhenye to death? The Emperor couldn’t just watch Duke Zhengguo die without an heir, right?
Therefore, as long as the date was not set, when the Emperor calmed down, he might take back the Imperial edict.
Jiang Yunfeng, Wen Yujing, and the others held such hope, but in fact, they subconsciously ruled out the possibility that Jiang Zhennan was also the heir of Duke zhengguo’s mansion.
Jiang Zhenye angrily rebuked Wen Yujing, ” didn’t you say that the edict can be reversed? What about now? the date has been set, and there are only ten days left before the wedding. How are we going to stop it?”
Jiang Zhenye was really angry.
He was a handsome young master who boasted of being amorous and talented, but he was forced to marry a fat woman who brought bad luck to her husband.
The one who should marry the ugly girl was that bastard, Jiang Zhennan.
The person he wanted to marry was the most beautiful woman in the capital, Zhou Jingru.
Wen Yujing got angry after being pointed at by her son. Her face became stern, and she loudly rebuked, ” Jiang Zhenye, watch your attitude!”
At this time, Jiang Zhenye couldn’t care about anything else. He shouted angrily at his mother, ” I’m about to be forced to marry an ugly woman. I don’t know when I’ll be jinxed to death by that woman. I’m going to die, and Duke zhengguo’s mansion will have no descendants. Who will you rely on for the rest of your life?”
Jiang Zhenye was really going crazy.
He never considered that the woman standing in front of him was his own mother, who had been worried sick for him. His mother had done so many horrible things to make sure he was the heir of Duke zhengguo’s mansion.
He was selfish and only thought about himself.
He hated the ugly woman who was going to marry him!
But he was even more afraid of death!
He didn’t understand why the Emperor was so biased and betrothed Zeng Yanli to him, even though she was ugly and was a jinx.
So, he panicked and was afraid!
Anyone could become the target of his venting.
Wen Yujing listened to Jiang zhenye’s accusation, and her face turned livid. She was so angry that her whole body trembled.
She suddenly raised her hand and gave Jiang Zhenye a heavy slap. Then, she said angrily, ” mother has worked hard to raise you for twenty-four years. Is this how you treat mother? ”
After being slapped by Wen Yujing, Jiang Zhenye still could not calm down and reflect on his actions. He still roared, ” so what if you have raised me for more than twenty years? I’m going to be jinxed to death. If I die, all the years you’ve spent raising me will be in vain!”
Wen Yujing was so angry that she trembled and pointed at Jiang Zhenye, unable to say a word, ” you …”
Jiang Zhenye glared at Wen Yujing and shouted, ” I don’t care! You want me to marry that woman? I’d rather die!
With that, he ran out of Duke zhengguo’s mansion and went to Qinghua brothel to complain to his lover.
Wen Yujing was left sitting in a chair, looking dispirited.
Her eyes were like those of a venomous snake, and she glared in one direction. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, ” Jiang Zhennan, the humiliation and pain you have caused us, I will definitely pay you back a hundred times in the future!”
From what she knew, if it weren’t for Jiang Zhennan’s slanderous words in front of the Emperor, the Emperor would never have suddenly bestowed a marriage.
So, she would remember this grudge!
Now, no matter what, she had to find a way to find Jiang Zhennan.
Because he was the only person in the world who had the ability to stop this marriage.
..
At night, Jiang Zhennan received a Messenger pigeon and found out that Jiang Zhenye and Zeng Yanli’s wedding date had been set. A mocking smile appeared on his cold face, and he immediately burned the note in the engagement fire.
However, the next day, Guo Bing secretly found Jiang Zhennan and said with a serious expression, ” boss, my father said that all the people in the capital are looking for your whereabouts. Moreover, Duke Zhengguo and Wen Yujing seem to have not given up on stopping Jiang zhenye’s marriage. They are also actively looking for your whereabouts. Boss, I’m worried that they will find Taoyuan blossom village sooner or later. What do we do now?”
When Jiang Zhennan heard this, he frowned slightly and said, ” things will work out when they come to it! We’ll talk about it later!
Guo Bing was a little worried. “But is miss Lin willing to expose Taoyuan village? Should I ask for miss Lin’s opinion?”
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, ” of course. However, Yue ‘er and I have agreed that we will return to the country estate in the capital after some time!”
Guo Bing looked at Jiang Zhennan in surprise. “ah? Return to the country estate in the capital? Why?”
Jiang Zhennan replied without any curiosity, “If we don’t go back, are we going to let the 1000 Mu of land be left idle? ”
“No, ” Guo Bing said. still unable to react. “Didn’t you compensate for the country estate in the capital to …”
Then, he came to his senses and touched the back of his head in embarrassment. “boss, I was possessed and didn’t react in time. Since you’re going back to the capital, we’ll go back with you, right?”
Jiang Zhennan nodded his head and replied, ” yes!”
..
Jiang Zhennan and Lin yuelan were checking on the condition of the grape branches cut. Liu Yichen wanted to follow them, but he was dragged to another mountain by Guo Bing to work, digging pits and planting fruit trees!
Lin yuelan was carefully checking the growth of the grape branches. After all, she had only seen her grandmother do this before.
Fortunately, it was easier for the grapes to survive through grape cutting, and with the help of the spirit spring water, the cut vines quickly turned into grape seedlings. It wouldn’t be long before they grew into grape trees.
Jiang Zhennan also carefully checked if the tender shoots on the branches were still alive and growing. Then, he held a ladle in his hand and a bucket in his hand, carefully watering each grape seedling.
The two of them busied themselves for a while. Jiang Zhennan looked at the bucket in Lin yuelan’s hand and immediately said, ” Yue ‘er, you rest for a while. I’ll water the rest!”
Lin yuelan shook her head and said, ” I’m fine. This thing isn’t heavy at all to me!” As he spoke, he did not stop working.
Jiang Zhennan was still reluctant to tire Lin yuelan out. “No. Yue ‘er, you’ve been busy the entire afternoon. Leave the rest of the work to me. You sit over there for a while!” Jiang Zhennan pointed to a small chair in front of him.
Jiang Zhennan had brought this small chair from home for Lin yuelan to sit down and rest occasionally.
Lin yuelan couldn’t argue with Jiang Zhennan, so she could only nod. “Alright then!”
Lin yuelan went to the small chair and sat down. Jiang Zhennan continued to water the grape seedlings, and his actions were very fast.
After a while, the grapes on the two plots of land were all watered.
Lin yuelan walked up to Jiang Zhennan, then took out a handkerchief, stood on her tiptoes, and wiped Jiang Zhennan’s sweat. “brother Nan, thank you for your hard work!”
Jiang Zhennan immediately laughed foolishly. “Yue ‘er, what are you saying? What’s so hard about this?”
Lin yuelan only smiled, her eyes fixed on the field of yellow grape seedlings.
“Brother Nan, let’s go back to the country estate in the capital in a few days!” she said.
Jiang Zhennan replied without any hesitation, ” alright!”
Jiang Zhennan didn’t ask Lin yuelan why.
Because this was what they had agreed on.
Although Lin yuelan intended to use this piece of land as the emperor’s experimental land, it didn’t mean that she wanted to waste more than 1000 mu of land in Jiang Zhennan’s country estate in the capital.
Since she wanted to develop in the capital this year, the 1000 mu of land had become the key.
In addition to growing grain, she also planned to grow special vegetables for the emperor.
This new type of vegetable was not like the greenhouse vegetables from last year. She planned to use the spiritual spring water to water the vegetables and sell them only to the royal family.
Lin yuelan said, ” I’m sure there are many people watching those country estates under your control. However, no matter what, I have to make good use of that thousand mu of land!”
Jiang Zhennan held Lin yuelan’s hand and said nonchalantly, “Since those lands are already yours, Yue ‘er, you can use them however you want. I have no objections.
Lin yuelan nodded and said, “Alright!”
This matter was settled just like that.
They didn’t know that Jiang Zhennan’s country estate would be a big shock to the capital in the future.
