Chapter 1298 - 1298: Entering the Palace!

Translator: Lonelytree

After getting on the carriage, after the carriage had traveled for some distance, Cai Xia’s love-struck expression changed. She smiled and asked,” Master, how was it? How was my acting?”

Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Yes, not bad!” Then, she looked at Jiang

Zhennan and said in disbelief,” I think the one who’s better should be our General! I didn’t expect that the cold and serious Great General would actually put on a show in front of everyone. It was actually so vivid!”

Indeed, the flirtatious words with Cai Xia made everyone in the Duke’s estate think that there was an affair between them, which made them even more certain that Jiang Zhennan had raped Yu Wenling.

Because of this, they believed that the plan was a success.

Cai Xia immediately echoed, “That’s right, that’s right! Great General, your acting is really good! Especially the part where you confessed to my master, I was so touched that 1 almost cried!”

However, Jiang Zhennan was very serious and slightly aggrieved as he said,” Yue ‘er, my confession is serious!”

Cai Xia, r .

The carriage continued on for a while. At a corner where no one was around, a young man in black stood in front of them. If anyone noticed, this man was the man who had been talking loudly in the Duke’s estate.

He was Lin Xujie, one of the four guards beside Lin Yuelan.

When he saw this unique carriage approaching, he called out respectfully,” Master!”

“Yes!” Lin Yuelan said indifferently,” You weren’t followed, right?”

He had deliberately led the commoners to speak out in the Duke’s estate, which would definitely attract the attention of Jiang Yunfeng and the others.

Lin Xujie replied,” At first, there was someone following us, but I shook them off.”

Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Yes, you can go back first!”

“Yes, madam!” Lin Xujie flew away as soon as he finished speaking. After he left, Cai Xia asked doubtfully,” Master, is this really useful?”

Lin Yuelan said,” Rumors are just words that are spread among people without any basis.

“Since Jiang Zhennan raping the Ninth Princess is a rumor, then we must create a rumor that contradicts it to guide the people’s perception.

“Jiang Zhennan only liked Princess Gu. The Ninth Princess was only hurt by

Jiang Zhennan’s scolding because she had said bad things about Princess Gu. That was why the Ninth Princess looked so despondent and numb when she left the General’s Mansion.’

“These two rumors are true and false. Who knows if they are true or false? Even if someone impeached Brother Nan with rumors, it would depend on whether they could bear the consequences.”

After all, she and Jiang Zhennan were the Princess of the Guguo and the Defender General of the Kingdom. Moreover, both of them had extremely high prestige in the hearts of the people.

This was because one had increased the yield of crops for the people and could greatly improve their lives. The other had fought for the country and brought them a stable life, becoming their guardian angel.

“Therefore, if anyone really wants to impeach the general, it’s fine if it’s true, but if it’s fake, then even if we don’t take revenge on him, the people will! “Cai Xia said with a smile.

“That’s right!” Lin Yuelan nodded.” The commoners do not have any power or influence, but public opinion is very powerful.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yes, I am. Therefore, when the two rumors collided, those people did not dare to take the risk! “Cai Xia said.

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” That’s not all. This was also to bring back Brother Nan’s reputation, which was almost ruined! At the very least, our plan will be easier to carry out!”

Although they didn’t care about their reputation, Jiang Zhennan’s rape of the ninth princess was a matter of character.

A person’s reputation could be ruined, but a person’s character could never be questioned.

Jiang Zhennan had been listening to the conversation between the master and servant. He could not help but feel touched.

He did not care about the rumors outside, but the despicable and shameless act of raping a woman had indeed greatly injured his character.

The act he had performed in the Duke’s estate just now would let everyone see clearly that he only had one person he loved. It would make everyone doubt the authenticity of the rumor.

At the same time, it was also for the rumors they created to spread into the palace.

He wanted to see what kind of tricks Consort Liu De and Yuwen Ling were going to play to make him give up his beloved woman and marry Yuwen Ling..
