Chapter 1116: Teasing Wu Ming
Translator: Lonelytree
“Don’t you know very well who I am? Then why are you pretending here?” Her voice was sharp.
Wu Ming heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Then, he smiled bitterly and asked helplessly, ” Then, what do you want to do by hanging me up like this?”
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan flew down from a big tree. They looked up at Wu Ming, who was in the net, and said, Come down directly! He had a chopper in his hand, so it was not a problem for him to get down.
Wu Ming was slightly stunned.
Let him off so easily? He expressed his doubts.
However, it was indeed uncomfortable to be hung here. Therefore, he used a chopper to cut a big hole in the net and flew straight to the ground from the inside.
After standing on the ground, he looked at Jiang Zhennan, who was standing in front of him. He felt a little awkward, and his expression was complicated.
It seemed that they had always known of his existence.
He was only allowed to report the situation to that person. Fortunately, when he reported the situation to the Emperor, he only reported the original situation and did not add fuel to the fire.
At the same time, he also thought about whether he had offended the two of them since he came to Lin Family Village. He didn’t think so.
Wu Ming ?cupped his hands and greeted Jiang Zhennan. ” Great General! Then, he said respectfully to Lin Yuelan, ” Miss Lin! ‘
He had already investigated Lin Yuelan’s past thoroughly. Therefore, he admired this child very much.
However, what surprised him was that Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan actually liked each other.
The age gap between them was so big. It could be said that Jiang Zhennan was like an old cow eating young grass.
He didn’t understand the relationship between them, but he could tell that they were truly in love.
Lin Yuelan circled around Wu Ming a few times. Oh, no, it could be said that she was looking at him from head to toe. Her eyes seemed to be deliberately sizing him up.
Then, she smiled and asked, ” I can’t see where you have three heads and six arms.
Wu Ming was stunned when he heard Lin Yuelan’s vague words. He asked in confusion, ” Miss Lin, what do you mean?
Lin Yuelan didn’t answer him directly. She shook her head and said, ” It doesn’t mean anything. As for you, i ‘ she said as she stared at Wu Ming with a sharp gaze and said with an ambiguous smile, “It seems like you really want Brother Nan to have a son!
Wu Ming was speechless. What was the meaning of this? What did it have to do with him whether Jiang Zhennan had a son or not?
However, he immediately understood what Lin Yuelan meant by her next sentence.
Lin Yuelan continued, I heard that the entire capital is talking about the fact that the Great General has a son. Even His Majesty is curious. Is that true, Lord Wu?”
Wu Ming was baffled.
How could there be news of the Great General having a son in the capital?
Wu Ming frowned and asked in confusion, i ‘ Miss Lin, when did the general have a son? How did Your Majesty know?” He remembered that he had never reported to His Majesty that the Great General had a son.
Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and said, ” Wasn’t it you who reported this to His Majesty? I heard that His Majesty received a messenger pigeon. After reading it, he immediately laughed and said that Jiang Zhennan had a son.
Soon after, the entire capital was discussing the matter of the Great General having a son.”
When Wu Ming heard this, he immediately sweated.
He finally knew what was going on.
His Majesty must have seen the messenger pigeon that told him that Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan had adopted a younger brother. Then, His Majesty took it as a joke and took the younger brother as Jiang Zhennan’s son. Then, he deliberately spread the news.
This was the truth. Therefore, he had to take the blame even if he did not want to. Or else could he blame it on the Emperor?
This was simply impossible.
Wu Ming immediately said, “This …” This is my fault!” He could only admit it.
Lin Yuelan glanced at Jiang Zhennan, whose expression did not change at all. She pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, ” Wow, you admit it? You actually admitted it! If you admit it, then when I go to settle accounts with Your Majesty in the future, this account can’t be put on his head. In the future, when I look for him to compensate for the mental damage, won’t I lose a sum of money?
Jiang Zhennan was speechless. So that was the case.
This little money-grubber never forgot to ask for money no matter where she went.
Now, she actually wanted to target His Majesty.
However, thinking about it, this was not impossible.
Wu Ming was speechless. What? Was this Miss Lin too bold? How would she ask for compensation for mental damage from His Majesty? Wasn’t this a little too whimsical?
However, looking at Lin Yuelan’s clear, bright) and confident face, he thought to himself that this might not be wishful thinking.
Lin Yuelan continued, “ Tell me, how are you going to compensate Big Brother Nan for the loss of his reputation?
“Ah?” Wu Ming didn’t understand. ” What is this? What reputation damage?”
Lin Yuelan didn’t explain. Instead, she said, “Other than the loss of reputation, there are also mental compensation, financial compensation. In total, you should pay me at least 30,000 taels.” As she spoke, Lin Yuelan stretched out her hand and asked Wu Ming for money.
Wu Ming was confused when he heard Lin Yuelan’s words. He did not understand at all.
Lin Yuelan had clearly said that she wanted to settle the score with His Majesty, but she then directly asked Wu Ming for thirty thousand taels of silver.
Wu Ming looked at Lin Yuelan and said, Miss Lin, I don’t really understand what you’re saying. However, I do understand that you want me to compensate you with thirty thousand taels. But where am I going to find 30,000 taels to compensate you?
Although the Black Guard had a monthly allowance, it was not that much money. Even Wu Ming only had around a hundred taels of silver after serving in the black guard for twenty years. It was far from thirty thousand taels of silver.
However, Lin Yuelan said very seriously, ” I don’t care where you go to find the silver. I only need thirty thousand taels!”
Wu Ming immediately cast a pleading look at Jiang Zhennan and called out, Great General? ‘
Jiang Zhennan coughed a few times and said, ” Yue ‘er, why don’t I compensate you for his 30,000 taels?
“No,” Lin Yuelan rejected him immediately, ” Not to mention that you still owe me 300,000 taels of silver. In the future, everything you own will be mine.
Why would I take things from myself? Wouldn’t that be too much of a loss?”
Jiang Zhennan was slightly stunned. Then, he laughed. It turned out his Yue ‘Er had already accepted his assets as hers.
Jiang Zhennan shrugged his shoulders and immediately gave Wu Ming a helpless expression.
Wu Ming was speechless. It seemed that the Great General would definitely be afraid of his wife in the future.
He took a deep breath and asked directly, ” Tell me, why did you suddenly come to find me today? ‘
Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan had tolerated him for a few months. But now, they suddenly came to look for him because of the loss of reputation and compensation.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan looked at each other.
Lin Yuelan shrugged her shoulders and said regretfully, “I thought that the number one secret guard by the emperor’s side was a fun person. In the end, this is not fun at all! ” He was too smart and guessed their purpose in an instant.
Jiang Zhennan nodded in agreement. ” Yes, it’s indeed not fun! ‘
Wu Ming’s face darkened. ‘
Could it be that they were teasing him just to see whether he, the number one secret guard, was a fun person?
Stop joking, alright!
Also, since when did the Great General develop this naughty side?
Hadn’t the Great General always been cold and stern?
Lin Yuelan looked at Wu Ming and said seriously, ” I know that you’re hiding in Lin Family Village to supervise me. However, can this be considered my honor to have a king pay so much attention to a small peasant girl like me?
Wu Ming could not refute this.
His mission was indeed to supervise Lin Yuelan.
However, the Emperor’s heart was unpredictable. Even as the Emperor’s number one secret guard, he could not guess the Emperor’s purpose..
