The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 1216: Warning Jiang Zhennan

Chapter 1216: Warning Jiang Zhennan

The housekeeper immediately understood Granny Liu's intention. She was here to test the Young Madam.

The butler smiled and replied," Thank you for your concern, Granny Liu. Our Young Madam is doing very well now!"

Granny Liu's expression changed slightly. Then, she asked sharply," Where is your Young Madam now?"

The butler replied," My Young Madam did not follow the Great General back to the capital!"

At this point, the butler pretended to be very puzzled and asked," Is Granny Liu here to look for my Young Madam?"

What he meant was, my Young Madam doesn't know you at all. You don't have any friends.h.i.+p with her. Why did you come to my Young Madam?

Granny Liu choked, and her expression changed again. She said," Of course not! It's just that Consort Liu De heard that the Great General had a fiancée, so she sent this old servant to greet the Young Madam!"

As she spoke, she took out a piece of suet jade pendant from her bosom and said to the butler," This is a greeting gift from my consort to the young madam!"

The butler took it and said very respectfully and courteously," This old servant thanks Consort De on behalf of my Young Madam!"

Granny Liu continued," However, my Mistress wishes to see the Young Madam's beautiful face. I wonder when your Young Madam will return to the General Manor?"

When the butler heard this, he said hesitantly," Nanny Liu, this is a matter between the masters. This old servant is not clear about it. However, this old servant will definitely report to the Great General that Consort Liu wants to see the Young Madam. At that time, I will definitely give the nanny an answer!"

Granny Liu nodded." Yes, that's for the best. Since the general already has a young madam, there are some things that should be thought about and things that should not be thought about. You must distinguish them clearly and not always hunger after things that are beyond one's station. Don't you think so, Butler Jiang?"

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Granny Liu's meaning was obvious. She was warning Jiang Zhennan not to covet the Ninth Princess, Yuwen Ling.

When the butler heard this, he was furious.

It was the Ninth Princess who had taken a fancy to the General and even called herself the unmarried Young Madam of the General's manor. Now, she actually said that the General was after the Ninth Princess.

This was simply bullsh * t!

The butler suppressed his anger and replied politely," Granny Liu is right. My family's Great General has been waiting for Young Madam for twenty-five years. He doesn't even have time to cherish her. How can he have the mood to think about things that he shouldn't?"

This was telling Granny Liu that the young madam was the only person in the general's heart. He didn't want to think of other women, nor did he have the time to think about them.

Although she heard the answer she wanted to hear, Granny Liu felt very uncomfortable.

According to her, since the ninth princess had taken a liking to Jiang Zhennan, Jiang Zhennan would definitely take a liking to the ninth princess.

After all, the Ninth Princess was the most favored and n.o.blest princess of His Majesty. Moreover, her beauty was outstanding, and she was more than enough for Jiang Zhennan. At this moment, why would Jiang Zhennan not like the Ninth Princess?

Of course, that was what Granny Liu thought, but she could not say it out loud.

Her purpose for coming here was to test Jiang Zhennan's att.i.tude toward Yuwen Ling. She also wanted to put an end to Jiang Zhennan's feelings for Yuwen Ling and tell him directly that Consort De would never allow Yuwen Ling to marry him.

After that, Granny Liu only said," Since the Great General isn't in the manor, I'll take my leave! However, the butler must not forget to pa.s.s on the message to the Great General!"

"Rest a.s.sured, Granny Liu. This old servant will definitely pa.s.s on the message to the Great General!" The butler suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.

When he could no longer see Granny Liu, the housekeeper's face darkened. He muttered to himself," The Ninth Princess is so arrogant. She's not worthy of our general!"

In the Zhou family's study room.

Zhou Zhenlin held a small white porcelain bottle and asked in puzzlement," Is this the Divine Illusion that you exchanged for 100,000 taels of silver from the Yama Pavilion?"

He poured out a little bit. It was a white powder. He sniffed it but did not smell anything.

"Can you guarantee that this thing will be colorless and odorless when it is placed in food? Even silver needles won't be able to detect it, and no one will be able to discover it?" Zhou Zhenlin asked seriously.

This drug was meant for that person. It was not only related to the Zhou family, but it was also very likely to affect the nine clans. Therefore, it had to be foolproof!

Zhou Dehong said," Father, don't worry! Yama Pavilion always follows orders without fail. They said that this thing could not be detected by anyone or anything!"

Zhou Zhenlin nodded and handed the porcelain bottle to Zhou Dehong. He said in a serious and vicious tone," Let's test it first! When we find an opportunity, we will strike! Remember, you have to be absolutely safe. Otherwise, once someone finds out, the Zhou family will definitely be uprooted!"

Zhou Dehong immediately said seriously," Don't worry, Father. I know what I'm doing!"

Duke Zhengguo's Mansion

Wen Yujing sat alone in her room with a small porcelain bottle in her hand. Her expression was solemn, as if she was deep in thought.

"Mother, mother." A moment later, Jiang Zhenye's impatient knocking came from outside the door.

Wen Yujing immediately hid the small porcelain bottle and opened the door. She looked at the haggard Jiang Zhenye and asked," Ye 'Er, what's wrong?"

Jiang Zhenye looked angry and impatient. He said," Zeng Yanli, that crazy woman, found an excuse to execute my concubine again! Mother, I can't stand that woman anymore. Quickly think of a way to deal with that woman!"

After Zeng Yanli married him, although she didn't manage to jinx Jiang Zhenye to death, that ugly shrew, Zeng Yanli, did her best to control him. She didn't allow him to take concubines and didn't allow him to go to the brothel to find women to vent his anger. Every day, she would lock him in the backyard and watch her beat and scold his concubines. She used all kinds of cruel methods to make his concubines wish they were dead. He had to watch the tragic and b.l.o.o.d.y scene with his eyes wide open.

"Mother, Zeng Yanli is a lunatic. She doesn't even blink when she kills people. She took Yan 'Er…He dug out Yan 'Er's eyes, cut off her nose, cut off her ears and tongue, cut off her limbs, and placed her in a wine jar to soak! Mother, that scene was simply too terrifying…!" Jiang Zhenye was so scared that he cried as he spoke.

Whenever he thought of Wu Yan's miserable appearance and her shrill screams, he would be so scared that his legs would go weak, and he would not be able to breathe.

"What did you say?" Wen Yujing's face turned pale when she heard Jiang Zhenye talk about Wu Yan's fate. How dare she?" Wu Yan was the biological mother of the Jiang family's only eldest grandson, yet Zeng Yanli tortured her just like that.

"Why wouldn't she dare?" Jiang Zhenye said angrily," Mother, how many times have you said this? When has she ever not dared to do anything?"

At this moment, he hated his mother very much. If she had not encouraged his father to let Zeng Yanli marry Jiang Zhennan, perhaps Jiang Zhennan would not have thought of revenge, and he would not have married such a woman.

Wen Yujing's face turned pale. She grabbed Jiang Zhenye's hand and tried to persuade him," Son, just bear with it. She'll disappear in front of us very soon!"

Once Jiang Zhennan was out of the picture, who else would come after Duke Zhengguo's estate?
