Chapter 1317: Zhengguo Duke’s Estate Collapses

Translator: Lonelytree

Hearing Yuwen Longyan’s question, Jiang Wen’s face instantly turned pale. She shook her head and said in a panic,” No, no, Your Majesty. I definitely didn’t let the servants spread such rumors. Please investigate!’

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a burst of laughter.

Jiang Wen was immediately stunned. She asked foolishly,” What are you laughing at?”

Lin Yuelan looked at Jiang Wen and shook her head.” I’m laughing at your stupidity!

Jiang Wen’s face turned green and white again, but she didn’t dare to scold Lin Yuelan.

At this moment, Consort Liu stepped forward and slapped Jiang Wen’s pretty face twice. She cursed,” Jiang Wen, you’re so vicious. What grudge does my Ling ‘er have with you? Why do you have to frame her like this?”

As the daughter of Zhengguo Duke, Jiang Wen would usually be brought to attend any royal banquet, so Consort Liu naturally recognized her.

Jiang Wen, who had been slapped twice, was still stunned.

After being stunned for a while, she reacted and shouted at Consort Liu De,”

Consort Liu De, I’m innocent. I didn’t frame the Ninth Princess!”

Consort Liu didn’t listen to her explanation at all. She glared at Jiang Wen and said sternly,” Jiang Wen, you’re so good! You’ve already confessed, but you are telling me that you’re wronged?! ”

Then, she turned her head and said to the Emperor,” Your Majesty, this time, you personally heard that it was Eldest Miss Jiang of the Duke’s estate who framed Ling ‘er. I hope that Your Majesty can report this matter to the public!” As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan.

The look in his eyes was very obvious, telling the Emperor not to side with them just because the future of the Duke’s estate belonged to Jiang Zhennan.

Hearing Concubine Liu’s words, Jiang Wen immediately felt weak and nervous, but she kept shouting,” Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I’m innocent! I didn’t frame the Ninth Princess!”

At this moment, Lin Yuelan ‘kindly’ reminded her,” Miss Jiang, didn’t you realize that you’re confessing? His Majesty asked you whether you knew about the rumors, but you said that you didn’t have your servants spread the rumors. Haven’t you exposed yourself?”

Upon hearing Lin Yuelan’s kind reminder, Jiang Wen’s body, which had just stood up, instantly went limp. There was obvious panic and fear on her face.

After a short while, she reacted and immediately knelt down in front of the emperor.” Your Majesty, please forgive me! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!’ Yuwen Longyan said sternly,” Hurry up and tell me the truth!”

The aura of an emperor was not for show. Jiang Wen was so scared that she immediately confessed the truth.

However, she hid the fact that it was Wen Yujings idea and wanted to push everything to the butler.

“Your Majesty, this official e s daughter only knows this much!” Jiang Wen said anxiously.

Yuwen Longyan listened to Jiang Wen’s narration and was really furious. He asked angrily,” Then why did you let people spread rumors?”

Jiang Wen bit her lips tightly, unwilling to speak!

“Speak!” Yuwen Longvan shouted.

“Your Majesty…lt was because…Because I couldn’t stand the butler’s arrogance,” Jiang Wen stuttered, “After knowing that he had hurt the princess, I was afraid, so I acted impulsively and…” Her mind was blank, and she was really scared.

She didn’t even know what she was talking about.

Although she said that it was the butler’s actions, everyone knew that the butler’s actions actually represented the master’s orders.

Therefore, whether it was Jiang Yunfeng or Wen Yujing, they could not escape from this.

After listening to Jiang Wen’s narration, Consort Liu De was filled with hatred.

At this moment, what else did she not understand?

She had long heard that Jiang Zhennan was returning to the Duke’s estate. The last time he returned, the people at Zhengguo Duke’s estate were beaten to death by Princess Gu because they deliberately made things difficult for her. After that, Jiang Zhennan chose to return to the Duke’s estate another day.

It was likely that in order to prevent Jiang Zhennan from returning to the Duke’s estate, the Duke’s estate had seized the opportunity to frame Jiang

Zhennan.

However, the most hateful thing was that they framed Jiang Zhennan. Why did they have to involve Ling ‘er? They even sent people to destroy her Ling er. They even found four local ruffians!

Consort Liu De was so furious that she wished she could cut those people from the Zhengguo Duke’s Estate into pieces to avenge her Ling ‘er..
