Chapter 888 - 888 Causing Trouble
Jiang Zhenye was carried over on a wooden bed by the servants.
What was even more surprising was that Zeng Yanli had actually come over.
Without a doubt, it must have been Duke Zhengguo’s mansion that had called her over.
The surrounding commoners were very puzzled as to why they had suddenly come to the defender-General’s residence.
Therefore, out of curiosity, they stopped in their tracks and wanted to watch the fun.
Then, Jiang Zhenye, who was lying on the stretcher, said loudly, ” miss Zeng, I know you care about my big brother. Don’t worry, I won’t take away someone else’s love. I’ll definitely fulfill your wish and my big brother’s.”
Zeng Yanli’s chubby face was covered in layers of white powder as if she was painting a white wall. As she spoke, the layers of fat on her face fell off, and the White powder fell off with a ‘whoosh’.
She held a bright red handkerchief and covered half of her face. She seemed to be very shy as she said, ” second young master, how can I accept this? ”
Zeng Yanli was half-covering her face and half-embarrassed. If she were a beauty, she would definitely be very moving. However, this fat woman only made people feel disgusted.
Jiang Zhenye held back his disgust and almost vomited.
He said weakly, ” I’m just trying to fulfill your wish!”
Wen Yujing took Zeng Yanli’s hand and said helplessly, ” miss Zeng, I know you’re only concerned about my Nan ‘er. Although I don’t know why the Emperor would give such an imperial edict for you and my Ye ‘er to be a couple, neither of you has the other in your heart, while you only have my Nan’ er in your heart. Don’t worry, I will definitely ask the Emperor to fulfill your wish.”
They said that they were begging the Emperor to fulfill their wishes, but in fact, they were forcing Jiang Zhennan to change the emperor’s will.
Of course, those words were only said to those around who didn’t know.
Among these people, other than the common people, there were of course some people of status who were watching the show.
After all, this street was inhabited by the royal family, nobles, and powerful people.
If an ordinary family did not have some power, they would not be able to live there.
However, there were still some ordinary people on this street.
As such, there were people of all statuses gathered here to watch the show.
Wen Yujing’s words weren’t clear, but everyone knew one thing.
Zeng Yanli was the eldest daughter of the Assistant Minister of Revenue. She had two husbands, and her fiancée all had an unnatural death.
As a result, her reputation for bringing bad luck to her husband was known to the royal family, nobles, beggars, and children in the capital.
If such a daughter were born into an ordinary family, she would either be secretly executed or sent to a nunnery to spend the rest of her life alone with a Buddha’s lamp.
However, even though Zeng Yanli brought bad luck to her husband, she had a good life. Her mother doted on her and was reluctant to let her daughter have such a fate. So, even though Zeng Yanli had brought bad luck to several husbands and was spat on by others, her mother still protected her daughter well.
However, now that Zeng Yanli was with the people from Duke Zhenguo’s mansion, what made them even more surprised and puzzled was that, from what Wen Yujing had said, it seemed that Zeng Yanli had taken a fancy to the son of the Duke Zhenguo’s mansion. Then, the people from Duke Zhenguo’s mansion came here to help matchmake Zeng Yanli and Jiang Zhennan from Duke Zhenguo’s mansion.
However, what did this have to do with the royal edict?
Hearing Wen Yujing’s words, Zeng Yanli lowered her head in embarrassment. “thank you, Auntie. Oh, thank you, mother!”
Zeng Yanyan was so thick-skinned that she even called Wen Yujing ‘mother’.
The people around them who were listening had looks of disdain and contempt on their faces.
Zeng Yanli had already married several husbands, yet she was still acting all shy. Who would believe that?
However, this woman’s skin was really too thick. She actually dared to have designs on the defender-general of the state. She should take a look at herself in the mirror.
Of course, some people didn’t think so.
Although Zeng Yanli wasn’t very good-looking, they had also heard that Jiang Zhennan was also an ugly monster whose face had been disfigured. It was said that after he took off The Silver Mask on his face, he shocked the heavens and the earth, frightened women, and made children cry.
In fact, Zeng Yanli and Jiang Zhennan could be considered a match in terms of appearance.
