Chapter 1260: Princess of Guguo

Translator: Lonelytree

Lin Yuelan was suddenly conferred the title of ” Princess of Guguo ” by the Emperor. Naturally, Jiang Yunfeng and the rest could not berate her as they pleased.

Therefore, ever since he received the imperial edict, Jiang Yunfeng was angry and furious, but he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

Eunuch Zhang then said to Jiang Yunfeng and the others, “Your Majesty has ordered this old servant to watch the general return to the Zhengguo Duke’s Estate!”

Hearing Eunuch Zhang’s words, the faces of the people from the Dukes estate paled.

What Eunuch Zhang meant was that he wanted to personally watch Jiang Zhennan move in on behalf of the Emperor.

But…

When Eunuch Zhang said this, Lin Yuelan glanced at the people of the Duke’s estate who were afraid of her and asked with a faint smile, ‘Zhengguo Duke, may I know where the eldest son’s courtyard is?”

One had to know that before they returned, they had already sent someone to inform them. Their purpose was naturally to ask the Duke’s estate to arrange a courtyard for them to stay in.

However, they also knew that Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing would not treat Jiang Zhennan so well and would arrange a courtyard for him.

Therefore, Lin Yuelan asked this question on purpose.

When Jiang Yunfeng heard this, he immediately had a bad feeling.

He turned around and looked at Wen Yujing. Seeing that Wen Yujing’s face was very pale, he understood that Wen Yujing did not arrange a courtyard for Jiang

Zhennan at all.

Oh, no, based on his understanding of Wen Yujing, even if a courtyard were arranged, it would definitely be Jiang Zhennan’s old dilapidated western courtyard.

If he returned to the Duke’s estate alone, or even if he brought his fiancée, who was only an ordinary person, it would be fine. After all, this was where Jiang Zhennan used to live. They could argue that it was for nostalgia’s sake.

However, Lin Yuelan’s identity changed drastically.

It did not matter if she was an ordinary farmer’s daughter or the sister of the richest man, Liu Yichen. That was just an ordinary status. Besides, she had not married Jiang Zhennan and was not the General’s wife yet. Therefore, her opinion did not matter. No one would say that they were neglecting her.

However, now that she was the princess of Guguo, even if he was a first-class noble, he had no choice but to bow his head in front of her.

He suppressed his anger and said respectfully to Lin Yuelan, “I didn’t know you would be here, Princess, so…” That’s why they didn’t arrange a courtyard for you.

However, Lin Yuelan only asked once more, “Zhengguo Duke, I was asking about the location of the residence of the eldest son of the Zhengguo Duke’s

Estate. I’m not asking you to arrange a residence for me. Do you understand?” Her tone was sharp and dignified, like a royal princess.

When Jiang Yunfeng heard this, he was even more puzzled.

Lin Yuelan was obviously an ordinary woman. Who knew what she did to be so lucky as to be conferred the title of princess by His Majesty? How could she have the prestige of the royal family?

Jiang Yunfeng’s scalp tightened as he replied, ‘Yes… Princess, I understand!”

Lin Yuelan nodded in satisfaction. Then, she asked aggressively,” Alright, since Zhengguo Duke understands, please tell me where Brother Nan’s courtyard is located.”

Seeing that he couldn’t escape, Jiang Yunfeng gave Wen Yujing a look.

Obviously, he wanted to turn this blame over to Wen Yujing.

Wen Yujing was extremely annoyed. She was secretly annoyed that Jiang Yunfeng wanted to push the responsibility to her again.

However, what could she do? All her support came from Jiang Yunfeng.

Wen Yujing immediately smiled tactfully and said,” Princess, Nan ‘er’s courtyard is arranged to be in Yu Sheng Pavilion!”

” Yu Sheng Pavilion? Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and asked Jiang Zhennan,” Brother Nan, is that the courtyard you used to live in when you were young?

Hearing Lin Yuelan’s question, Wen Yujing’s heart skipped a beat. Before Jiang Zhennan could reply, she spoke first,” Princess, we haven’t had time to tidy up the courtyard that Nan ‘er used to live in, so we’ve arranged for Nan’ er to stay at Yu Sheng Pavilion!”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhenye immediately jumped out. He was very dissatisfied and angry as he questioned loudly,” Mother, Yu

Sheng Pavilion is clearly my courtyard. Why are you giving it to this bastard…”

Before he could continue, Wen Yujing interrupted him. She shouted sternly,”

Ye’Er, don’t be rude in front of the princess! Your courtyard is now the Southern Forest Courtyard! If you continued to shout loudly and act impolitely in front of the princess, the princess would get angry!’

Wen Yujing deliberately emphasized the word ” princess ” and used her eyes to signal him to understand the situation and endure for a while!

Just now, Jiang Zhenye had used his status to look down on the ordinary people outside. However, now that Lin Yuelan’s status as a “princess” was revealed, they had to treat her differently.

Jiang Zhenye received his mother’s warning gaze. He first looked at Eunuch Zhang, who was watching from the side, and then looked at Lin Yuelan, who was extremely beautiful but had a dignified aura. His aura immediately weakened. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore.

When Lin Yuelan heard this, she nodded and said,” Oh, the courtyard that was arranged for Big Brother Nan to stay in is actually Second Young Master.

Haven’t you had the time to tidy up Big Brother Nan’s original courtyard? However,” Her expression turned cold as she asked sharply, “Zhengguo Duke’s wife, if I remember correctly, General Manor sent you a message three days ago, telling you that Brother Nan is coming back today, right?”

“Three days… Zhengguo Duke’s Estate is so big, and there are so many servants, yet they can’t even clean up a courtyard? You actually wanted the Second Young Master to give up the courtyard for the eldest son to live in? It seemed that the servants in the residence were very lazy. In that case,”

Lin Yuelan’s tone changed.” Then it’s fine if we remove these servants! Eunuch Zhang, what do you think?”

Eunuch Zhang smiled and replied, “This old servant thinks that the princess is right!”

Then, his sharp gaze swept across the kneeling servants, and he sneered,”

Your people can’t even clean up a small courtyard in three days? Could it be that the Zhengguo Duke’s Estate only raised idlers? Since these people only know how to take a salary and not work, it’s fine to remove them!”

When Jiang Yunfeng’s family heard Lin Yuelan’s words, anger appeared on their faces. However, when they heard Eunuch Zhang echoing Lin Yuelan, panic and unease appeared on their faces.

Even though they said the same thing, it would carry different meanings.

For Lin Yuelan, she could only send these servants away. However, Eunuch

Zhang represented the Emperor. If he said that these people needed to be removed, it was very likely that more than a hundred people in the Duke’s estate would be beheaded.

As masters, they did not care about the lives of these servants. However, the problem was that some of these people were trusted aides that Zhengguo Duke’s Estate had cultivated with great difficulty. They were loyal to the Duke’s estate and to them.

Besides, if these servants were gone, wouldn’t it be easy for Jiang Zhennan to plant his people?

This…. This was not good for them!
