Chapter 1198: Go to the Nanyuan Manor
Translator: Lonelytree
This was how Xiao Tao comforted the Ninth Princess, but the master and servant knew very well that there was no need to ask around about this. They had already heard about it a long time ago.
At that time, when the ninth princess Yuwen Ling heard about this, she scoffed and said disdainfully, “Jiang Zhennan’s fiancée must be an ugly monster too. Otherwise, why would she also wear a mask and not even dare to show her face?
“However, this is good. An ugly man and an ugly woman are a match made in heaven, saving them the trouble of harming others.”
But now, because Yu Wenling was instantly attracted by Jiang Zhennan’s appearance, she subconsciously forgot all about it.
Her only purpose now was to marry Jiang Zhennan, regardless of what she had done to him in the past, whether he had a fiancée or even if he was a jinx.
She seemed to be possessed.
But at the same time, she was not a stupid person. Otherwise, how could she have been doted on by the current Emperor for more than ten years? Her so-called brothers and sisters were so envious that their eyes turned red, but they could do nothing about her.
She was unruly, willful, and unreasonable. However, she knew her father’s bottom line.
So, in fact, the ninth princess was a very smart person.
She could make a scene in the General’s Estate or at the entrance of the
General’s Estate. She could make a fuss and show off her princess might. However, the prerequisite was that she had not to offend the dignity of the royal family.
Now that General Manor’s butler had already said so much, if she continued to make a scene, she might be laughed at by everyone in the capital.
Seeing her as a joke was equivalent to seeing the royal family as a joke. Wasn’t this a slap to the royal family’s dignity?
Therefore, her servant, Xiao Tao, was very sensible and gave her a way out.
The Ninth Princess was arrogant and overbearing. She said to the General’s butler with a proud and contemptuous attitude,” In that case, I’ll come back after I go back and confirm the authenticity of the matter!” Then, she shouted at the servants beside her,” Let’s go!”
Soon, the Ninth Princess and her group left in a grand manner.
Xiao Cui and Jiang Wen, who was hiding in a corner to check on the situation, narrowed their eyes and frowned slightly. Then, they turned around and reported the situation.
There were also people who had been surrounding the entrance of the general’s manor since yesterday, wanting to see the general’s true appearance.
They were not people who had nothing to do. They had been waiting at the door for more than a day, but they did not see the Great General. The eagerness in their hearts gradually calmed down and faded.
Now that there was nothing to see, they left.
The butler watched as the Ninth Princess left and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He thought to himself,” Fortunately, this Ninth Princess isn’t so stupid that she can’t be saved. Otherwise, if I really relay the general’s warning to the Ninth Princess, wouldn’t it turn the world upside down?”
The butler looked around and said to the crowd, “Everyone, there’s nothing to see here. You can leave now.”
Someone immediately went forward and asked curiously,” Butler Jiang, I heard that the Great General has returned. Why isn’t he here?”
Hearing someone ask, the others pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the butler’s answer.
The butler smiled and said,” The Great General has indeed returned. However, he was tired from running around outside and had been resting in the residence!”
“Butler, everyone says that the Great General without a mask is a handsome man. When will you let the general come out and let everyone see him?” Someone immediately shouted.
When the butler heard this, he smiled kindly and said,” I’ll have to ask the general for his opinion on this.” Then, he changed the topic and continued,” However, the Great General will not leave the residence for the next two days. So, everyone, please disperse!”
In his heart, he thought, ‘In the past, all of you were so scared to meet the
Great General. Why aren’t you afraid now?’
Hearing the butler’s answer, many people immediately felt a little disappointed.
Soon, the people at the entrance of the General’s Estate dispersed.
The butler returned to the manor.
As soon as he entered the residence, he saw Jiang Zhennan dressed up and ready to leave.
The butler immediately went forward and asked,” General, what are you doing? Where are you going?”
Jiang Zhennan said,” I’m going to the Nanyuan Manor!”
The butler was stunned.” Ah? Go to the Nanyuan Manor?”
Jiang Zhennan didn’t care about the butler’s reaction and went straight to the backyard because there was a back door in the backyard.
This time, he didn’t wear a mask, which caused a commotion. He didn’t want to walk through the main door and become a monkey who was being watched by a group of people.
Before he left, he instructed the butler,” Butler, if anyone comes looking for me again, tell them that I have left. Don’t reveal to them my location.”
The butler replied respectfully,” Yes, Great General!”
In fact, in the past, other than the young master of the Guo family, Guo Bing, almost no one would come to the General’s Estate.
But now, with the pestering Ninth Princess, he believed that no one would come to his door again.
“Wow, boss, you are finally back!” Guo Bing, who was busy at the farm, immediately put down his work and ran over when he heard that Jiang
Zhennan had returned.
Jiang Zhennan looked at Guo Bing, who had not tanned much but had obviously become stronger. His lips curled into a smile, and he said,” Yes, I’m back. It’s just that your skin is still so fair and clean. However, you look like you’ve gained some muscles.”
As he spoke, Jiang Zhennan stepped forward and patted Guo Bing’s shoulder.
Guo Bing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Jiang Zhennan’s praise.” Boss, it’s been so long since we last met. Are you praising me or insulting me?!”
It was already embarrassing for a man to have fair skin.
He had thought that by working on the farm and basking in the sun, he would be able to have Jiang Zhennan’s bronze skin that made people envious.
However, no matter how much he tanned, his fair skin would not turn dark. Instead, it turned red and looked even more feminine, making him depressed for a long time.
Fortunately, his body had definitely become larger and more muscular.
When they heard that Jiang Zhennan was back, many people immediately put down their work and ran over. They shouted excitedly,” Boss, you’re back!”
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said coldly,” Yes, I’m back. Everyone has worked hard during this period of time!”
“It’s not hard!”
Everyone said in unison.
Guo Bing looked behind Jiang Zhennan and then looked around before asking,” Boss, where’s Miss Lin?”
