Chapter 1815: Preparation
Translator: Lonelytree
“Pavilion Master, as you expected, Yuwen Xuhong is here again. Do you want to see him or not?” At the branch of the Yama Pavilion, the subordinate of the pavilion master asked the pavilion master.
When he asked this question, he was very disdainful of Yuwen Xuhong.
He clearly wanted to cooperate with Yama Pavilion, but he wanted to put on the airs of a high and mighty descendant of the royal family.
Humph, the one begging for cooperation wasn’t their Yama Pavilion.
After hearing his subordinate’s report, the pavilion master just lay lazily on the tatami. His two slender fingers pinched a purple crystal grape and threw it into the pair of red and thin lips under the mask. Then, he sneered and said,” Hmph, don’t worry about him for now! Anyway, we’re not the ones in a hurry.”
The subordinate nodded as if it was a matter of course.” Pavilion Master is right.” However, his expression became hesitant as he asked,” Master, could it be that you really agreed to cooperate with Yuwen Xuhong to deal with the Great General and Princess Guguo?”
When the pavilion master heard his question, he could not help but roll his eyes and ask indifferently,” What do you think?”
The subordinate immediately scratched his head and shook his head. “This subordinate doesn’t know!”
Then, he asked doubtfully,” Master, are you really going to deal with them? If Miss Lin finds out about your identity, Master, how are you going to explain yourself?”
Although he was sure that his master would not assassinate them, but according to Yuwen Xuhong’s nature, he would definitely use other methods to deal with them. He just didn’t know what method he would use and that he’d need cooperation with Yama Pavilion.
Similarly, he did not know what his master was thinking.
He was a little worried.
The pavilion master glanced at his expression, and his face darkened. He said to him without any curiosity,” I say, are you so unconfident in me that you doubt my character? Do I look like that kind of person?”
“No, no, absolutely not!” The subordinate immediately denied it. Then, he smiled embarrassedly and said, “Didn’t I hear that Master, you…” He had clearly agreed yesterday.
According to the fine tradition of Yama Pavilion, since he had promised, he would definitely do it.
Yuwen Xuhong was sitting in the reception hall with a dark expression on his face. There was a hint of anger on his face.
He had been waiting outside for nearly two hours, and he was still being asked to wait. They said that the pavilion master had gone out to handle some matters and had not returned yet.
Suppressing his anger, he asked the person who served him,” When will the pavilion master return? You have to know that I have been waiting for him here for two hours.”
However, the person who received him replied respectfully,” Hall Master, the Pavilion Master did not give me any instructions. When will he return? He just told me to ask the Hall Master to wait here. He will come back immediately after he is done!”
When he heard this, it seemed very insincere.
But Yuwen Xuhong couldn’t be furious, and he could only stomach it.
Yuwen Xuhong’s identity was exposed, but it was only limited to the higher-ups of the Yama Pavilion. Therefore, the people of the branch still respected Yuwen Xuhong as the hall master.
However, they were a little puzzled. This hall master was clearly their hall master. Why did the higher-ups order them to treat him well?
It was obvious that the higher-ups were deliberately making things difficult for the hall master. The strangest thing was that the hall master wanted to see the pavilion master, so why did he need the pavilion master to entertain him? Doesn’t this make sense?
Although the subordinate was puzzled, he knew what he should and should not ask.
Yuwen Xuhong patiently endured his anger and waited for another two hours.
This time, he was really angry.
Just as he was about to get angry, the Pavilion Master’s attendant came over and said,” Hall Master Yu, the Pavilion Master invites you in!”
Yuwen Xuhong’s sharp eyes glared at him angrily. Then, he asked in a strange tone,” It seems that the hall master has finally returned.”
With that, he walked in.
Seeing the pavilion master lying lazily on the tatami, a wave of anger burst out, and he said sharply,” Pavilion Master, what arrogance. You really made this prince wait!”
After the two families met, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan’s wedding was about to begin.
Their wedding was organized by the Imperial Family’s Ministry of Rites.
Duke Guo was the witness of their marriage. After Yuan Shutong returned, she was given the title of a first-class imperial madam. She was Jiang Zhennan’s biological mother and sat in the high hall.
As for Jiang Yunfeng, he refused to attend on the grounds that he was physically unwell.
Ever since Yuan Shutong returned and was conferred the title of First Rank Madam by the Emperor, the outside world had known that as the husband and father of a First Rank Madam and a General, Jiang Yunfeng was simply a scum.
When his wife was six months pregnant, this scumbag and another woman schemed to harm her, causing her to bleed to death. After that, he tried to kill his eldest son several times but failed. He allowed his stepwife to abuse his eldest son, forcing him to crawl out of the dog hole when he was three or four years old. From then on, his son had to beg for a living. Later, he lied about his age and went to the battlefield until he was appointed as a general. His reputation spread far and wide.
However, the accusation of being framed as a jinx against his mother had always been with him. Until his biological mother appeared, he had not been able to clear his name.
Of course, when Yuan Shutong appeared, and the mother and son reunited, the truth was revealed. Countless rich ladies of the government pounded their chests and stomped their feet in regret.
How could they have been blinded by the illusion back then? Did they really think that the Defender General was a jinx?
If they had known that all of this was the doing of the Great General’s stepmother and biological father, they would have married their daughter and granddaughter to him and become the Great General’s wife. They would have been rich and powerful, and their wealth would have increased by a level.
In this way, how could they let a peasant girl take their spot instead?
They were not only blind, but they were also blind in their hearts. They had pushed such a good man away.
At this moment, someone thought of the number one beauty in the capital, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.
Look at how good her judgment was. She had long recognized Jiang Zhennan. It was a pity that she was unlucky and was implicated by her family.
No matter how many people were regretful, the marriage between the Great General and the Princess of Guguo had become a fact that was set in stone.
Not only that, this was the Great General marrying the Princess as a lived-in husband, but no one dared to criticize it.
In the beginning, the Great General was known as a fiend who could jinx his wife, and the Princess of Guguo was also suspected of jinxing her husband. Therefore, there was a marriage method of having the wife become the husband and the husband become the wife. This allowed them to exchange their fates in exchange for lifelong happiness.
Moreover, this was the Emperor’s decree. Who would dare to question a marriage in such a name?
On the day of the wedding, the capital was dressed in red. From the streets of the capital to the end, from the Zhengguo General’s Estate to Princess Guguo’s Estate, all the streets were covered with red carpets and hung with red colours. Even many shops had the word “Xi” pasted on their doors to seek good luck.
