The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1251: The Origin of the Heir

Translator: Lonelytree

Everyone said that Great General Jiang Zhennan was moving back to the Zhengguo Duke’s estate.

However, it was unknown whether Jiang Zhennan had not set a date for his return or he was deliberately torturing everyone in the Duke’s estate, especially the Duke couple who were the hosts. In short, there was no movement from the General’s estate these few days.

However, Jiang Yunfeng, his wife, and his son and daughter from the Duke’s estate had indeed been extremely angry and indignant over Jiang Zhennan’s return, but at the same time, they could not do anything about it.

Therefore, they could only vent their anger on these servants.

Therefore, at this time, there were rumors of the Zhengguo Duke’s estate’s masters abusing their servants from time to time. As a result, when the servants of the Zhengguo Duke’s estate went out, they would be pitied by everyone.

After all, a slave working in a rich family was equivalent to a dog. He could be beaten and scolded by his master. Sometimes, he was even worse than a dog.

Jiang Yunfeng went out to meet his colleagues, but he was ridiculed by them.

“Congratulations, Lord Jiang. The eldest son of the Duke is finally willing to return to the Duke’s estate! In the future, we may have to rely on Lord Jiang!” In other words, Jiang Zhennan, the eldest son of the general, would bring endless glory to the Duke’s estate.

However, all the nobles in the capital knew very well that Jiang Yunfeng did not like Jiang Zhennan, the eldest son. He had even written many times to pass the title to his second son, Jiang Zhenye, but was mercilessly rejected by the Emperor.

Some time ago, there were rumors in the capital that the wife of the Zhengguo Duke’s estate had framed Jiang Zhennan many times when he was young. As for whether Jiang Yunfeng had tacitly agreed to it, everyone knew very well. Now that his colleagues were congratulating him, they were just mocking him.

Jiang Yunfeng was naturally very angry.

Jiang Yunfeng gave a fake smile and thanked them.” Thank you, my lords!”

His sharp eyes swept across everyone present, and then he said expressionlessly,” Milords, I have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first!” Then, he left with the servants.

These colleagues looked at Jiang Yunfeng’s receding figure, and all of them had mocking smiles on their faces. “The Duke is really muddle-headed.”

“Sir Bi, you are wrong. You might think he has a better choice, but anything is better than death, right?”

As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, Jiang Zhennan was a great general with outstanding abilities.

However, he was a jinx, a jinx to his mother, father, and wife!

For such an eldest son, even if he could bring him glory and wealth, he would still have scruples and be extremely afraid.

“Sigh, the Duke really…” has a sad life.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about him anymore. Let’s continue talking about something else!”

Jiang Yunfeng, who had been mocked by his colleagues, hurriedly returned to the Duke’s estate.

However, on the way back to the Duke’s estate, he heard rumors of General Jiang Zhennan’s return to the Duke’s estate and rumors of the Duke’s estate abusing servants.

This time, Jiang Yunfeng was burning with rage, his eyes filled with fury.

As soon as they returned to Zhengguo Duke’s estate, Wen Yujing came up to them and asked anxiously,” Old Master, how did it go?”

What Jiang Yunfeng wanted to do was to visit his colleagues and ask them if they could write a letter to the Emperor asking Jiang Zhennan not to return to the Duke’s estate. After all, he already had the General’s estate.

However, the emperor found this unreasonable.

Jiang Zhennan was the true heir to the Duke’s estate. Even if he was the Great General and had the General’s estate, it was perfectly justifiable for him to return to the Duke’s estate. There was no reason to stop him. Unless Jiang Zhennan was no longer the heir to the Duke’s estate!

Jiang Yunfeng was also very clear about this matter.

Out of everyone, he was the one who did not want Jiang Zhennan to inherit the Duke’s estate the most. This was because Jiang Zhennan was a jinx who would jinx his father. Therefore, he only wanted to stay away from this jinx.

However, Jiang Zhennan had outstanding abilities. From a nameless soldier, he had become a great general and received the favor and trust of the current Emperor.

After Jiang Zhennan’s first victory, the Emperor directly appointed him as the heir to the Duke’s estate after learning of his identity.

Back then, he, the Defender Duke, was completely muddled.

At that time, Jiang Zhennan had disappeared from the Duke’s estate. They thought that Jiang Zhennan had already died outside, and he did not know that the new Great General, the Emperor’s new favorite, was actually Jiang Zhennan, the unfilial son who had disappeared from the Duke’s estate.

However, this was an imperial edict. It was impossible for Jiang Yunfeng to directly tell the Emperor that his designated successor, Jiang Zhennan, should have died a long time ago due to mistreatment.

After all, that would expose how he and Wen Yujing had tortured Jiang Zhennan when he was young. At that time, they would have to face the criticism of thousands of people, and the reputation of the Duke would plummet.

He could not face such a situation.

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and accept it. He would wait for an opportunity to make Jiang Zhennan, this unfilial son, disappear in front of everyone. Then, he would have a reason to make his precious son Jiang Zhenye the heir of the Duke’s estate.

However, he did not expect that he would not have the chance at all.

Because when Jiang Zhennan moved his troops back to the court, his identity was exposed in front of everyone. He was Jiang Zhennan, the eldest son of the Duke’s estate.

When Jiang Zhennan’s identity suddenly appeared in front of them, he and Wen Yujing were as shocked as anyone else.

Jiang Zhennan, this unfilial son, actually escaped to become a soldier and even became a general!

Immediately, he and Wen Yujing began to feel fear and panic.

They were afraid of Jiang Zhennan’s revenge on them.

They began to stay in the residence, feeling uneasy.

However, they were not people who would sit and wait for death.

They thought of ways to send people to the General’s Estate to inquire about Jiang Zhennan’s every move in preparation for a countermeasure.

What surprised them was that Jiang Zhennan, this unfilial son, actually did not make any moves.

Most of the time, he was not in the General’s Estate. He left the huge General’s Estate to a butler to manage while he went to the military camp in the suburbs to train the soldiers.

Then, not long after, he would lead his troops to war again.

Over the years, the Duke’s estate had continuously extended its hands into the General’s estate. Before Jiang Zhennan returned, the General’s estate had already become theirs. Even the butler had to listen to them.

However, he had never expected that when he returned last time, he would chase the Jiang siblings out. Then, he would use swift and decisive methods to deal with all the people planted by the Duke’s estate.

This time, he was going to move into the Duke’s estate.

This time, Jiang Yunfeng was very clear that Jiang Zhennan must have some purpose for returning to the Duke’s estate. It was definitely not as simple as him being the heir..
