Chapter 1258: Please Have Self-Respect!

Translator: Lonelytree

After Jiang Zhenye left, Jiang Yunfeng immediately said to the people outside the door,” Neighbors, my son had a fever last night and. He hasn’t fully recovered. His mind is still a little muddled, and he’s talking nonsense. I hope everyone won’t take it to heart!”

Jiang Yunfeng had put down his status as the Duke of the State. He had to clean up Jiang Zhenye’s mess.

If it were any other time, these ordinary people would be considered lowly peasants in his eyes!

However, he had to cater to the lowly people in his eyes because there was one person in the Duke’s estate at the moment, and that was Jiang Zhennan!

When the people outside heard Jiang Yunfeng talking to them in such a humble manner and explaining Jiang Zhenye’s nonsense, they finally felt less angry.

With Jiang Yunfeng’s status, it was already very good for him to explain Jiang Zhenye’s mistake in such a humble manner.

Seeing that the commoners’ expressions had eased up, Jiang Yunfeng struck while the iron was hot and said,” I’ve made a fool out of some of the Duke’s estate’s family matters today.” However, he immediately changed his tone and said in a somewhat forceful manner, “In a moment, I still have some family matters to deal with. It’s not convenient for all of you to stay. Please!” Jiang Yunfeng gave Wen Yujing a look.

Wen Yujing immediately understood what Jiang Yunfeng was doing. She immediately whispered to a trusted servant girl,” Quickly get the butler to bring some money over!”

The servant girl obeyed and left in a hurry.

A moment later, she came again in a hurry.

The butler followed behind.

The butler held a money bag in his hand.

When Wen Yujing saw the butler’s money bag, she smiled and said to the people outside,” Everyone, my son’s recklessness, I apologize to everyone.

Please accept this apology gift!’

After Wen Yujing finished speaking, the butler poured out the money from the money bag.

Even small pieces of silver were equivalent to two to three months of salary for an average person.

After these people received the silver, they tactfully walked away.

Since the Duke’s estate wanted the money to settle the matter, they would grant their wish.

As for the grudges between Jiang Zhennan and the Duke’s estate, that was their family business. They could just watch the show. As for the rest, they could not care less.

Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing were satisfied as they watched the crowd leave.

After the people outside left, Jiang Yunfeng’s expression changed again.

His face darkened as he shouted at Jiang Zhennan coldly,” You’re really an unfilial son! You have just returned to the Public House, and you already want to turn the Duke’s Public House upside down?

Jiang Zhennan replied coldly, “Zhengguo Duke, I’m afraid you’re mistaken! Is the person who wants to turn the Duke’s estate upside down this General? That person seems to be your precious son!”

When Jiang Yunfeng heard this, he pointed at Jiang Zhennan and shouted angrily, If it weren’t for your actions that attracted so many people here, do I need to be so subservient to those lowlives? And you’re still saying that it’s not your fault?” He had wanted to curse further, but when he thought of the crowd that might not have completely left, he immediately stopped.

When Lin Yuelan saw Jiang Yunfeng instructing Wen Yujing to get the housekeeper to take out some money to give to the people who were watching the show, a cold glint flashed across her eyes. It seemed that Jiang Yunfeng was not a brainless person. At least, they had thought of using money to bribe people.

Furthermore…

Lin Yuelan glanced at Jiang Wen from the corner of her eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

Jiang Wen was quite a smart person.

However, when Lin Yuelan saw the look of unwillingness in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Zhennan, a glint flashed in her eyes. Something flashed through her mind.

When Lin Yuelan heard Jiang Yunfeng’s words, she sneered and said,” Hehe, Zhengguo Duke, your words are really interesting! It was clearly you who did something that brought disaster upon yourself, but you’re blaming it on us. What a joke!”

“Shut up!” Jiang Yunfeng’s anger made him forget how powerful Lin Yuelan was.” I’m teaching this bastard a lesson. An outsider like you has no right to interrupt!”

Jiang Zhennan’s expressionless face immediately turned cold. He said sternly,” Zhengguo Duke, it seems that you don’t know Yue ‘er’s identity! Alright then, let me introduce you to Yue ‘Er.” He held Lin Yuelan’s hand and stared coldly at Jiang Yunfeng with his sharp eyes.” She’s my fiancée! So, may I ask if she has the right to interfere in my affairs?

If Guo Bing and the others were here, they would have exclaimed. Their leader had actually said so many words to the people of the Duke’s estate, especially to Jiang Yunfeng.

Lin Yuelan immediately went forward to introduce him with a smile.

“Zhengguo Duke, nice to meet you! The last time I came to the Duke’s estate, I didn’t formally introduce myself. Now, let me formally introduce myself. I’m Lin Yuelan, Jiang Zhennan’s fiancée, your future daughter-in-law!” Lin Yuelan emphasized the words “future daughter-in-law”.

Since Jiang Zhennan had returned to the Duke’s estate, Lin Yuelan would be the eldest daughter-in-law.

When Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing heard this, their faces darkened, and their brows furrowed tightly. They were naturally very displeased that Lin Yuelan had used the term ” daughter-in-law” to introduce herself.

Jiang Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said,” Marriage is a major event. It’s the parents’ order! Even if Jiang Zhennan decided on his own marriage, as long as he was the eldest grandson of Zhengguo Duke’s Estate, his marriage had to be arranged properly! So, Miss, has this marriage been approved by his parents? I don’t think so.”

At this point, Jiang Yunfeng glanced at Lin Yuelan with a sharp, resentful, and disdainful gaze. Then, he said very seriously,” So, Miss, please have some self-respect!’

This meant that Lin Yuelan, this young lady, was too loose and casual!

In ancient times, marriage was a major event. It required the order of parents and the words of the matchmaker. Otherwise, it would be a private agreement.

Men could be romantic or infatuated, while women could be seen as licentious women. In some villages, they could be drowned.

Zhengguo Duke was grasping this point and attacking Lin Yuelan

However, the Defender Duke seemed to have forgotten that he had said this the first time he met Lin Yuelan. However, it was of no use at all. He was not a threat to Lin Yuelan.

Furthermore, the Duke seemed to have forgotten that there was another situation where marriage could be made valid besides the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

That was…

“The imperial edict has arrived!”

A sharp voice from outside interrupted the Duke’s disdainful gaze that was sizing up Lin Yuelan.

At the same time, the sudden arrival of the imperial edict shocked everyone in the Duke’s estate.

Wen Yujing asked in surprise,” Why would His Majesty suddenly issue an imperial edict to the Duke’s estate?”
