Chapter 1303: Meeting Again
Translator: Lonelytree
After Lin Yuelan entered the palace, another rumor started to spread outside.
Yuwen Ling was not raped by the general at all.
It was true that she had been to the general’s manor. When she came out of the general’s manor, her clothes and hair were disheveled, her eyes were dull, and it was also true that her expression was numb.
However, that was because she had said bad things about the General’s fiancée in front of the General. The General was furious, so in order to protect his fiancée, he reprimanded the Ninth Princess.
Think about it. This was the princess who had always been favored by the Emperor. It is said that she once cut off the penis of the grandson of a high official. That high official couldn’t do anything and could only swallow his anger. Who asked her to be favored by the Emperor?
His Majesty had turned a blind eye to the princess’s actions.
So, now that she was suddenly reprimanded by the man she loved, and he was reprimanding her for another woman, it was obvious how big a blow it was. And according to the people who saw her with their own eyes, it should have been a serious blow, not rape.
Besides, was the Great General that stupid?
He raped someone in broad daylight and even let her out so that others could see what he had done?
One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred. Not long after, this rumor took over.
Of course, there were still people who believed that Jiang Zhennan was the one who raped the Ninth Princess.
Some of these people were petty because they were jealous. The other group of people were the ones who spread the rumors.
“What did you say? You lost him?” Jiang Yunfeng questioned the servant with a dark expression.
“Master, we followed him at first, but that person walked very fast. After turning a few alleys, we… Just… lost him!” the servant reported.
The butler asked suspiciously,” Old Master, could that man have been sent by the Great General to lead everyone to doubt the authenticity of the rumors?
Also, it seems that he is targeting the Duke’s estate.”
Those words were clearly telling everyone that those rumors were very likely to have been spread by the Duke’s estate.
Although it was true, without evidence, everyone would only say it out loud.
However, this also had a huge impact!
Jiang Yunfengs face darkened as he said angrily,” It must be that bastard!” Then, he thought,” Also, that woman’s expression doesn’t seem right!” The woman he was talking about was Lin Yuelan.
The butler immediately realized that something was wrong and said,” Old Master, now that you mention it, this old servant thinks that the woman wouldn’t be so weak.’
Jiang Yunfeng nodded.” That’s right. In the past, she did not show any weakness when she targeted Zhengguo Duke’s Estate. He was ruthless, domineering, and fierce. It was impossible for such a woman not to have a few of her own people in the General’s Estate. How could she not know about such a rumor? The ordinary people outside might believe it, but to us, hmph…”
The butler immediately asked with some doubt,” Then, in that case, they put on a show in front of us and deliberately put it on for us to see?”
“No, it’s for the commoners to see!” Wen Yujing, who was beside him, immediately thought it through and said,” Their purpose in doing this is, of course, to stop those rumors. Oh, or rather, to create a new wave of rumors!” True, false, false, true. These ordinary people were just enjoying the show.
As soon as Wen Yujing finished speaking, Jiang Yunfeng and the butler fell silent.
They also thought of the commoners who were watching the show outside. The rumor that Jiang Zhennan raped the Ninth Princess was spread among the common people. Naturally, when another rumor was created, it was also spread among the common people.
“Master, we must stop the rumors before they spread!” Wen Yujing suddenly said anxiously.
Although she had arranged for the butler to spread those rumors, her goal was, of course, to make Lin Yuelan jealous. At the same time, it would also cause the Emperor to be dissatisfied. With such a troublesome matter, naturally, Jiang Zhennan, that b * stard, would not be able to return to the Duke’s estate for a while.
Moreover, with this rumor, Yuwen Lings reputation was ruined. Even if that bastard didn’t want to be the scapegoat, he had to be,
However, the rumors had only been circulating for a short while, and there was already another rumor spreading. Naturally, people would suspect the authenticity of the rumors..
