FULL NOVELXO Chapter 86 - Beijing
Chapter 86: Beijing
In an extremely secretive courtyard in the capital, in front of the window of one of the rooms, there was a tall and elegant man. He was wearing a purple robe, and the inside of the robe revealed the gilded hibiscus edges. There was a jade belt around his waist, and it complemented the jade hairpin in his hair.
His face was fair and clean, his facial features were regular, and his eyebrows were like peaks that reached his temples. He looked like a handsome man, but his eyes were lowered, and his expression was unclear.
One of his hands was propped up in front of the window, and the other was playing with an exquisite dark green jade cup.
“Master, Jiang Zhennan and the rest have returned to the capital!” A man in black with a black mask and a sharp sword in his hand cupped his hands and reported to the man with respect and fear.
The man’s originally lowered eyes slowly lifted up, but there was a cold glint in his eyes. He slapped the man in black and said coldly, “Trash!”
The man immediately knelt down on one knee and said, “master, sorry!”
The man’s face was cold, and his eyes were sharp as he stared at the subordinate in black. He said coldly, “We’ve sacrificed 108 men, and you still allowed him to return to the capital? It looks like you’re not suited to be the leader of Broken Souls anymore!”
Broken Souls would only have a new leader once the old ones died in battle. The man’s meaning was clear. The man in man could die already.
The man in black knelt and kowtowed to the man. With a pleading and firm tone, he said, “master, please spare this subordinate’s life and allow this subordinate to atone for his sins!”
The man’s eyes were no longer fixed on the man in black but on the beautiful hibiscus flowers in the courtyard. He took a sip from the jade cup and said in a light but serious tone, “Stop him from entering the palace to meet the Emperor! Otherwise...”
The man immediately replied, “Yes, master! Thank you, master for sparing this subordinate’s life! I will never let Jiang Zhennan enter the palace to see the Emperor!”
The man’s delicate and fair face was facing the window. He seemed to turn a deaf ear to his subordinate’s words.
However, only the man in black knew how ruthless his master was.
After the man in black left, the man stared at the beautiful white hibiscus flower with a cold and murderous look on his face. He said coldly, “Jiang Zhennan, I will not allow you to ruin my great plan!”
The expensive green jade cup in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, scattering all over the place.
...
In the hall of the Marquis’s mansion, there was a woman in a gorgeous red tight-fitting robe. Her hair was combed into a bun, and a green hairpin with a Phoenix fixed it in place.
Her face was a little chubby, and she looked like a woman with some good fortune, but her slender and narrow eyes revealed her sharp and mean nature.
At this moment, she took the teacup from the maidservant’s hand and said with a dignified aura, “You may all leave!”
The servants and maidservants in the hall immediately bowed and said, “Yes, Madam!”
After the crowd left, the woman handed the tea to the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table.
The middle-aged man was actually in his forties, but because he took good care of himself, his face was fair and clean, making him look like he was in his early thirties. He looked like a gentle and elegant man.
The middle-aged man took the tea and said, “Madam, if you have something to say, just say it. Is it necessary to disperse the servants?”
The woman looked worried, but the evil in her eyes was deeply buried.
The man asked, “Madam, what’s the matter that made you so worried?”
The woman looked at the man and sighed.”Master, I heard that Nan ‘Er has returned, right?”
When the man heard that, his gentle demeanor turned into a furious one. He slammed the teacup on the table and said loudly, “Hmph, that unfilial son still has the face to come back?! Hasn’t he harmed our Zhengguo Court enough?”
The man was really the ultimate jinx!
When he was born, he cursed his own mother, causing her to die of dystocia and hemorrhage.
After he was born, he began to curse Zhengguo Court, causing the court to decline day by day.
After he became the Defender-general of the state, he didn’t help the Marquis Court and cut off all relations with Zhengguo Court. He even asked the Emperor to suppress Zhengguo court.
The man was really infuriated.
In the past few years, Jiang Zhennan had been guarding the border. Therefore, there was no one other than the servants and butler in the general’s residence. The Marquis Court very naturally took over the general’s residence. They squander everything that Jiang Zhennan had earned with his military achievements and merits.
But now, Jiang Zhennan had suddenly returned.
However, Jiang Zhennan had returned to the capital in secret, and he didn’t bring his main troop with him.
Therefore, other than those who paid special attention to the general’s residence, the ordinary people didn’t know about the return of the war god general.
Jiang Yunfeng, Jiang Zhennan’s father, was extremely angry at Jiang Zhennan’s sudden return. contemporary romance
Wen Yujing, Jiang Zhennan’s stepmother, saw her husband’s angry expression and gently advised, “Old Master, such is Nan ‘Er’s fate. You can’t blame him for it, right? But,” Then, she continued with a worried expression, “Now Wen ‘Er and Ye ‘Er are still living at the general residence. Will Nan ‘Er drive them out?”
The Jiang General’s Residence had power and money. Ye ‘Er and Wen ‘Er lived there as Masters. They had good food and drinks and a large number of servants to command. Their days were very comfortable and happy.
However, once Jiang Zhennan returned, that would be over. Jiang Zhennan wouldn’t allow Wen Yujing’s children to continue to occupy his home.
When Jiang Yunfeng heard that, he said sternly, “He wouldn’t dare! They’re his younger brother and sister, so it’s only natural for them to live in the general’s residence. If he dares to drive them out, I’ll complain to the Majesty. How can such a stingy person be our Defender-general of the state?”
If Jiang Zhennan heard this, he would sneer.
Why was he appointed as the defender-general of the state?
It was because of his battle merits over the past ten years.
At that moment, a pair of young man and woman barged in.
The man was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a greasy face and a fan in his hand. He had a refined appearance, but the dark yellow color of his eyes showed that he had overindulged in sex.
The woman looked to be only 13 or 14 years old. She had a typical oval face, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She wore a pink dress and had a few precious green jade hairpins on her head.
The girl covered her mouth and ran in. As soon as she saw Wen Yujing, she immediately hugged her and cried loudly.
Wen Yujing’s heart ached. “Wen ‘Er, what’s wrong?” she asked.
Jiang Yuye, who was following behind, said angrily, “that fiend chased my sister and me out! He even threw our stuff out!” Then, he turned to Jiang Yunfeng and said angrily, “father, how can I face my friends in the future if I’m chased out by him like this?”
When Jiang Yunfeng heard this, his face immediately became angry. “How dare that unfilial son do this?” He then consoled his son and daughter and said, “Ye ‘Er, Wenwen, I’ll seek justice for you. Go back and continue to stay in the general’s residence. I’d like to see what this unfilial son can do to us.”
Wen Yujing and her two children looked at each other and smiled.
So what if that man was the defender-general of the state? Before them, he was still a lowly slave that they could bully!
