Chapter 253 Fighting for Ling Jinlan
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was shocked.
"Leng Yan wants you to act?"
Wei Jingyu's eyes were red with nervousness. "He wanted to marry Ling Jinlan, but Ling Jinlan didn't agree. So he deliberately found someone to make things difficult for Ling Jinlan, and then he would help her out."
"So that Ling Jinlan will like him."
"Not just yesterday, it happened many times before."
"I'm not the only one..."
Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold. If Leng Yan wanted to be a hero and save the beauty in order to win Ling Jinlan's favor, he had to pretend to be more convincing.
He said he was helping Ling Jinlan out, but in reality, every word he said was belittling her and looking down on her.
I definitely don't really like her.
"Did Leng Yan teach you every one of those nasty words?" Jiang Ningwan asked in a cold voice.
Wei Jingyu lowered her head, "Not entirely."
"That's what everyone says privately."
Jiang Ningwan felt a surge of anger in her heart, "What did you say?"
Wei Jingyu spoke nervously, "Ling Jinlan returned from the north and heard that the exiled women were all enslaved and prostituted. They all said Ling Jinlan was no longer innocent."
"No gentleman from a respectable family in Kyoto would dare to marry her. She's not even fit to be a concubine. They say she must be sick."
"Ling Jinlan knows it herself. She never refutes it, so that must mean she admits it."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan looked at her with angry eyes.
Wei Jingyu's heart trembled, and he lowered his head and dared not say anything.
Jiang Ningwan suppressed her anger and said, "Thank you for telling me this."
She picked up a box of rouge and handed it to Wei Jingyu, "Don't tell anyone that I came to see you today."
Wei Jingyu was a little surprised and quickly accepted the rouge. Looking at the exquisite box, she realized that this was a special rouge made in Xiangxuefang, which she couldn't buy even if she wanted to.
I didn't expect General Jiang to be so generous.
"Thank you, General Jiang."
Jiang Ningwan's eyes turned cold and he stood up and left.
Lord Wei saw her leaving in the yard and saw her off warmly.
After walking out of the gate, Jiang Ningwan looked back at Lord Wei and said, "Lord Wei, if anything happens at home, you can go to Huichun Hall."
After saying this, she got on the carriage and drove away.
Lord Wei stood there in a daze, not knowing what was going on. Was there something wrong at home?
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard a servant's cry from the courtyard: "Master! Master!"
"Something happened to the young lady!"
After Jiang Ningwan left, Wei Jingyu opened the rouge box and couldn't help but take a deep breath and smell the fragrance of the rouge.
But the next moment, he felt a pain in his nose and throat, and he pinched his throat uncomfortably. He wanted to call for help, but his mouth was open and he couldn't speak.
Her face was filled with terror as she stumbled out of the room, fell heavily to the ground and fainted.
Lord Wei hurried over and saw Wei Jingyu lying on the ground.
Looking at the rouge box that fell to the ground, was this the one General Jiang brought just now?
Could it be that when General Jiang said something happened at home, he was referring to Jingyu?
"Don't call a doctor, send him to Huichun Hall! Quick!"
After leaving the Wei family, Jiang Ningwan went to several other families and gave them the same rouge.
Also asked about the situation.
The statements were all the same: the words they said in Xiangxuefang were told by Leng Yan.
But the unpleasant gossip about Ling Jinlan had already spread privately.
"Ling Jinlan is not sociable and looks down on others. Everyone says that she looks down on us because her brother is a Duke."
"Furthermore, she was exiled to the North. Who knows what kind of inhumane treatment she experienced. She must have become psychologically dark and not as simple as she appears."
"She pretends to be pitiful just to seduce men."
Listening to those calm statements, Jiang Ningwan was about to explode. She couldn't even imagine how sharp and hurtful those words spoken with those sarcastic and strange looks would be.
Ling Jinlan has endured so much.
Jiang Ningwan's heart was in a knot and she was extremely angry.
No wonder she never cared about her reputation, because it was already so rotten that she didn't care about a few more gossips.
……
On that day, the four young ladies were sent to Huichuntang for treatment.
You won't become mute, but you will lose your voice for a few days.
You will also suffer from sore throat and difficulty swallowing food.
It can be considered as a lesson for them.
As for Leng Yan, Jiang Ningwan found out his daily hobbies and found out that he would go out to gamble on horse racing every few days.
On this day, Leng Yan invited a group of friends to go out of the city to gamble on horse racing.
Not long after they set off, Leng Yan's horse had problems and started spinning in circles and stopped running.
Seeing that everyone else had already run away, Leng Yan was extremely anxious and whipped them hard a few times, "Run!"
But at this moment, several masked men in black emerged from the darkness and directly pulled Leng Yan off the horse.
"Ah! Who are you! Let me go! My father is the Minister of Works!" Leng Yan shouted in panic.
But his mouth was covered and he was dragged behind the bushes.
The sticks hit Leng Yan again and again.
He was beaten so badly that his nose, face, head and blood were swollen and he was barely alive.
Leng Yan was sent back to Kyoto City that day and stayed in a clinic for a few days.
It was finally quiet in front of the Ling family's gate for a few days.
The Leng family did not send a matchmaker to visit again.
Whenever Ling Jinlan went out and met a rich girl, he used to be very unhappy with her, but now he is very polite.
Even if the relationship is not good, I will still greet her politely.
This made Ling Jinlan feel a little strange.
Why did everyone's attitude change all of a sudden?
After Jiang Ningwan dealt with these troubles, he often went to the military camp for training.
Occasionally, when I pass by Ling's house, I will stop in for a meal.
One day, the street outside the gate was suddenly blocked by people.
Jiang Ningwan struggled to squeeze into the crowd and saw two people fighting in the middle of the crowd.
One is Leng Yan.
One of them turned out to be Zhou Jingxuan.
There were still a lot of gifts on the street, as if two groups of people had collided here.
"Zhou Jingxuan, are you shameless? You are already old, but you still miss the young girl! I was the one who proposed to Miss Ling first, so there should be a first come first served principle!" Leng Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Jingxuan clenched his fists and said sternly: "It's not shameful to fight for your sweetheart!"
"I like Jinlan, I won't let you marry her!"
"We will have a showdown here today! The winner can enter the Ling family, and the loser will get out!"
Leng Yan's eyes turned cold, and he made up his mind, "Okay, let's fight it out!"
After saying that, he shouted and rushed towards Zhou Jingxuan, swinging his fist fiercely.
The two men fought without any rules and ended up in a ball.
Zhou Jingxuan had been in Ling Wei's army for a long time, and his skills had actually improved. Leng Yan was no match for him.
At the end of the fight, Leng Yan was pinned to the ground by Zhou Jingxuan, who punched him again and again, causing his nose to bleed profusely. It was a horrible sight.
In the end, Leng Yan fell to the ground and couldn't get up. The ground was covered with blood from the fight between the two of them.
Everyone around gasped in shock.
"For a woman, he actually killed her so cruelly."
"Yeah, is it worth it? Being beaten like this."
"These two are both sons of wealthy families. How dare they fight like this for a woman?"
Jiang Ningwan frowned, feeling a bad premonition.
But when I turned around and looked at the Ling family's gate, I saw Ling Chaowen still leaning against the gate and eating melon seeds.
