He knew very well that it was easy to force Jiang Zhennan to marry the ninth princess, but at the same time, he would offend another person-Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan, this woman, was related to the future of the country. She could give the entire Longyan Country hope of being rich and powerful.
Therefore, he had to be wary of her.
He understood Jiang Zhennan.
If he hadn't met Lin Yuelan, he would have followed any decree of the emperor without a word or plaint.
However, after meeting Lin Yuelan, everything changed.
He would obey his order regarding state affairs, but he had his own choices regarding private matters.
Yuwen Longyan sighed. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Yuelan looked at Consort Liu De and said," It seems that Consort Liu De is very certain that Brother Nan raped the Ninth Princess."
Consort Liu De replied," Princess Guguo, this was told to me by Ling 'er's personal palace maid. She said that Jiang Zhennan was worse than a beast. She openly rejected the princess but secretly touched the princess. After the princess discovered his true appearance, she wanted to leave the General's Estate as soon as possible. She did not expect that he... He... That beast did not allow the princess to leave at all. After that, he mitted atrocities against the princess! Princess Guguo, could it be that a little palace maid would lie to me like this?
"Even if she was lying, why did she have to frame the Great General?"
Consort Liu was furious.
Lin Yuelan's sharp gaze was fixed on Consort Liu De. Then, she asked in a light voice," Could it be that the Consort has so easily accepted the palace maid's words? Or perhaps the Consort already had an answer as to whether or not Big Brother Nan raped the Ninth Princess?"
Consort Liu De looked at Lin Yuelan's sharp eyes and was shocked. She asked casually," Princess Guguo, what do you mean?"
"Consort De is such a smart person, and she should understand what I mean!" Lin Yuelan said meaningfully.
Consort Liu's expression froze for a moment before she quickly regained her posure and said calmly," I don't understand what you mean, Princess!"
Lin Yuelan didn't beat around the bush when she saw how stubborn Consort Liu was.
She said coldly," Alright. Since Consort De doesn't understand, then I'll explain it to her. Yesterday, the Ninth Princess did e to the General's Estate. However, she came to the General's Estate in the name of sisterhood. She really wanted to meet me." At this point, she asked again," Consort Liu De, do you understand what I'm saying?"
Consort Liu's face paled when she heard Lin Yuelan's words.
However, she forced a smile on her stiff face and pretended to be confused." Princess, what do you mean by that? Why can't my Ling 'Er go and talk to you, her' little sister'?"
Yuwen Longyan listened to Consort Liu De's words and sighed softly. He thought to himself, 'It seems that Consort Liu De has made up her mind to cling to Minister Jiang. It's just...' He glanced at the serious Lin Yuelan. 'She might have the wrong idea!'
After hearing Consort Liu's words, Lin Yuelan's expression turned cold, and she said in a cold tone," It seems that Consort Liu has been pretending to be confused. Since that's the case, I'll make you understand."
Seeing Lin Yuelan's cold expression, Consort Liu felt a chill run down her spine. She had a bad feeling, and her instincts told her to stop.
However, it was too late.
"The Ninth Princess came to me in the name of sisterhood. However, as soon as I appeared, she used the dignity of a royal princess to say that I was a country girl who would not bee a phoenix even if I flew up to the branch. She also said that women's lust was weak and that men were not sincere. She tried to separate Brother Nan and me!
"This made Brother Nan very angry, and he immediately asked the butler to send the guests off!
"But at this moment, Princess Nine suddenly knelt down and said that she wanted to marry Brother Nan and begged for my permission!
"However, I knew that there must be a reason for her to put down her dignity and kneel down to force a country girl like me.
"However, she refused to say.
"After that, I found out that she was afraid of the marriage alliance arranged for her!"
Yuwen Longyan and Consort Liu were shocked when they heard the words 'marriage alliance.'
They had never thought that Yuwen Ling would know that the Emperor had the intention of letting her go through a marriage alliance.
Because she didn't want a marriage alliance, she went to General Manor and begged Lin Yuelan.
