Chapter 894 - 894 Rumors

894 Rumors

This was incredible!

Everyone knew that Zeng Yanli was a woman who brought bad luck to her husband.

Wasn’t they afraid that Jiang Zhenye would be killed by Zeng Yanli’s curse?

What was the Emperor thinking?

Because of this, a new wave of rumors began to spread in every corner of the capital.

The defender-general of the state relied on the emperor’s favor and wanted to use the Emperor’s hand to kill his own brothers in order to succeed in the title of the Duke.

“Otherwise, why would the Emperor suddenly bestow Jiang Zhenye with a woman who brings bad luck to his husband?”

“Oh, by the way, I also heard that Jiang Zhenye has had a high fever for several days and nights after he was bestowed with the marriage. He even talked nonsense at night, saying that he didn’t want to die yet …”

“Ah, I’ve also heard about this. Jiang zhenye’s body is injured, and he has a high fever that hasn’t subsided for a few days. I heard from the doctor that if he can get through this fever, he will be safe. If he can’t get through it, the people of Duke Zhengguo’s mansion can only prepare for his funeral.”

“In that case, this second young master Jiang is also quite pitiful.”

“I heard that since his first wife passed away three years ago due to a difficult birth, he has not married and is keeping his chastity for his ex-wife. He’s also an infatuated lover.”

“Yes, I also heard from the people around the second young master Jiang that he doesn’t even have any concubines. He can be considered a good man. Look, which rich man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines?”

“Well, in the end, it’s really quite pitiful for Jiang Zhenye to marry such a woman who has no talent, no looks, and is a jinx to her husband.”

In any case, the more the rumors spread, the more people thought that this was the case. Jiang Zhenye was really pitiful.

Duke Zhengguo mansion

“How’s the news outside?” Wen Yujing anxiously asked the housekeeper.

The Butler lowered his head and said respectfully, ” Madam, the rumors outside are as you have expected. They are spreading wider and wider, and they are basically in our favor.”

When Wen Yujing heard this, the stone in her heart was finally lifted. That’s good, that’s good, ” she said. Butler, where’s the old master?”

The Butler said, ” Madam, old master is in the study!”

Wen Yujing nodded. “okay, you may leave!”

After the Butler left, Jiang Wen was a little confused. She asked, ” mother, what rumors? ”

Wen Yujing said, ” mother sent people to spread the rumor that The bastard wanted to use Zeng Yanli to kill your brother in order to occupy the title of the duke. As long as these rumors spread more and more crazily, your brother will gain everyone’s sympathy, and your father will have a reason to go to the palace.

“I’d like to see what reason His Majesty has to protect that b * stard and harm my son’s life!” When she said the last sentence, her eyes glowed with hatred.

Jiang Wen’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately smiled and said, ” yes, mother always has a way! My mother is the most intelligent.” If she wasn’t smart, how could she have become the matriarch of the family from a mistress?

If she didn’t do this, they wouldn’t be able to resist this imperial edict. However, her brother would never marry that ugly woman.

She didn’t want such an ugly, stupid woman who would bring bad luck to her husband to be her sister-in-law.

Wen Yujing nodded at Jiang Wen’s forehead and said with a smile, ” you only know how to flatter your mother. Alright, I’m going to the study to find your father.”

Jiang Wen looked at Wen Yujing’s back, and the smile on her face gradually turned cold. If you looked closely, you could see a trace of resentment and hatred in her eyes.

That’s right. When they went to the general’s residence that day, her mother decided that her reputation was not worth mentioning compared to Jiang Zhenye’s. So, Wen Yujing gave up on saving Jiang Wen’s reputation without any pressure. Her son was more important than her daughter.

As a result, whenever Jiang Wen went out now, she would be pointed at and criticized for being bold and vicious. She dared to curse her own elder brother in front of the Emperor. Some people also said that she was lewd, fickle, self-righteous, and so on. In any case, these words were as ugly as they could be.

After she returned to the residence, she was really full of hatred and resentment. She hated Jiang Zhennan, hated Guo Bing, and at the same time, she hated her mother.

However, she didn’t dare to show any hatred for her mother.

Because she still had to rely on her mother to marry into a good family.

In the past, her mother’s intentions were to marry her off to the Crown Prince as a secondary consort.

As long as the Crown Prince ascended the throne, she could become the Imperial consort, second only to one person and above all.

No, being the Imperial consort was not her goal. She wanted to be the motherly Empress of the World!

Jiang Wen’s hands were hanging down, but she clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes were filled with determination!

Defender General’s mansion

Guo Bing ran to the general in a hurry again, looking a little anxious.

“Uncle Fu, where is the general? ” Guo Bing asked anxiously.

The Butler said, “Young master Guo, the general is practicing his sword in the backyard!”

Guo Bing said, ” at a time like this, he still has the leisure to practice the sword?!”

When the Butler heard this, he immediately asked with a serious expression, ” young master Guo, what’s the matter? ”

Guo Bing asked suspiciously, ” uncle Fu, didn’t you hear about the rumors outside? ”

When the Butler heard this, he looked a little worried and said, ” Oh, I heard about them. I also reported to the general, but the general told us to ignore it. Young master Guo…”

Guo Bing nodded and said, “Okay, I got it. I’ll go find the general now!”

Guo Bing ran to the backyard after he finished speaking.

When he reached the backyard, he saw Jiang Zhennan practicing his swordsmanship. He immediately went up to him and said, ” Aiyo, big brother, what time is it now? Why are you still in the mood to practice? ”

Jiang Zhennan did not stop holding his sword. The Silver Mask he was wearing still reflected the silver light. He asked coldly, ” what is it? ”

Guo Bing said, ” big brother, the rumors outside have gone crazy. They say that in order to inherit the position of Duke Zhengguo, you used the emperor’s favor to kill Jiang Zhenye. Don’t tell me you’re not going to care about these rumors and let them spread?”

How could you not be worried?
