Rebirth Grand Marshal's Wilful Fiancée-Chapter 19: Marshal Yuwen
Within 4 hours, Ling Family, promising and powerful in Tan yang, fell down. Even Zheng Wei didn't dare to save it.
Considering the sequence of events, people would find that Ling Family was destroyed by one person, Jiang Feng jia.
At this time, all people who were not stupid clearly realized one thing. That Jiang Feng jia was not a woman to be trifled with.
The young lady used to be moderate and feeble. But suddenly, she became a person who took actions quickly in a ruthless way. It made many people complain in their hearts that they had misjudged her.
As the old saying went, "A man of substance doesn't like to flaunt his true worth."
Jiang Feng jia was praised by almost all people who went to congratulate the Jiang family
Miss Jiang is a peerless young lady. She is stable and decisive when she does things. Really admirable!"
Hearing different kinds of praises, the Second Master of Jiang Family was still a little confused. He knew well about his niece. How could he not realize Jiang Feng jia's change? She looked like a different person now. The Second Uncle of Jiang Family was, at one hand, happy about his niece's positive change, but also worried that such change might have derived from something terrible his niece had been through.
Hiding his thoughts in his heart, Jiang Cheng politely accepted people's congratulations and praises.
Jiang Feng jia stood beside her Uncle,a perpetual smile on her face.
Before Jiang Feng jia was reborn, these people who congratulated her had avoided Jiang Family and some even had added insult to injury. Only few of them had showed kindness to Jiang Family.
Jiang Feng jia disliked their show of flattery.
"Miss Jiang,you were very impressive today,you're definitely the line of Vice minister Jiang. It's to be expected that soon the Jiang family can rise to power again!" A Tongpan came over and said
Jiang Feng jia replied as a cold smile flashed across her lips, "You over praised me. What I did is just to seek justice for myself. I don't have enough ability to manage Jiang family. Besides, Jiang Family always does its duty and remains indifferent whether granted favors or subjected to humiliation. In my view, Jiang Family never declines. Naturally, there is no such a thing as to rise to power again."
Jiang Feng jia of course knew what Tongpan really meant.
The tenure of hee grandfather was very short. Her grandfather got that position because of an accident, which rendered him a laughingstock for quite a while in the capital. Even now people in capital still teased his grandfather when they talked about his name.
This Tongpan used to be an official in capital. How couldn't he know what had happened in those years?
So he wasn't praising Jiang Feng jia when he said she was like her grandfather.
It was also a joke in Tongpan's eyes that Jiang Family would be powerful again. Because they always looked down upon Jiang Family. So 'rise to power again' apparently wasn't some sort of compliment.
Disputed by Jiang Feng jia softly, Tongpan wore a sullen look when he left.
After Tongpan went away, other people also gradually left.
With all the guest gone,Jiang Cheng decided to talk to Jiang Feng jia about what had happened as was trying to understand the change that came over her.
However, Tao Yi,came over at that time.
Tao Yi was the son of Tao Feng,Jiang Cheng's immediate supervisor so Jiang Cheng had to give him face.
"What you did today gladdens people's hearts. Ling Yuanling is unscrupulous. She dares to frame you in a dirty way and even acts so arrogantly. People like her should be put in prison and banished," Tao Yi said smilingly.
Jiang Feng jia's attitude to Tao Yi was a little better, because Tao Yi helped her a lot today.
"Thank you and your father for helping me today. Otherwise Jiang Family can't win easily."
"Such a bad thing happened in my father's term of office. My father, as the magistrate of Tan yang, would never turn a blind eye to it. As for me, it's no bother for me to help you. I have no relations to the Lings. If Ling Family hadn't frequently invited us over for today's gathering, I and my father wouldn't even be there."
"I'm glad that you and your father helped me," Jiang Feng jia said with a grateful look.
"Don't be so polite. No one wants to miss such an exciting thing. But… you should pay more attention to Zheng Wei. He won't leave the matter at that. Today you exposed him to public disgrace. He will try to revenge you one day," Tao Yi said seriously.
Jiang Feng jia also looked serious. She said, "I know. I'm prepared. Ling Yuanling said that Jiang Family blocked their way. Ling Family is close to Zheng Wei. I'm afraid our Jiang Family has already been Zheng Wei's eyesore. If today's thing doesn't happen, they will surely scheme something else against us. If I were really wronged today, I could imagine how difficult Jiang Family's situation would be."
"It's good that you're psychologically prepared. In Tan yang, the power of Prefecture Guards is too much. Even my father can't control Zheng Wei."
Although people didn't talk about it openly, everyone was clear in their heart. But Tao Yi dared to speak it out today. What did he mean?
"According to our dynasty's laws, no one could be more powerful than Zhizhou, the chief of a prefecture. The situation of Tan yang is very dangerous now. Didn't Lord Tao present memorial report to the royal court to deal with it?" Jiang Feng jia followed Tao Yi's words to say.
Tao Yi shook his head and said, "He has done it. But you know, banditry is a serious problem in Tan yang. So Tanyang's Prefecture Guards keep more soldiers than other places. Many things… Alas, I believe you understand it even if I don't say much."
Tao Yi's tone was… Was it a gesture of being friendly? Did it mean the stance she had taken in front of Tao Feng took effect?
Jiang Feng jia thought about it quietly in her heart. Then she sighed, "It will be better if the royal court sends massive forces to destroy the banditry around Tan yang."
Tao Yi forced a smile, "I'm afraid no one wants to take this trouble except Marshal Song."
Marshal Song?
Ling Zhang frowned secretly for a while and his focus was immediately distracted, "Marshal Song?"
"Yes. Have… Have you ever heard about Yuwen Family in capital?" Tao Yi asked.
Jiang Feng jia nodded. Her eyes became cold for a moment. Then she said, "Yes."
He knew him so much!
Tao Yi continued, "Marshal Song is the model of men in capital. No. Not only in the capital, he is also the example of the whole country's men. He totally changed the declining tendency of Great Yue's war against the enemies within ten years. And he even forced the enemy country to beg for peace by ceding territory many times. Without Marshal Song, Great Yue will… Ahem, in short, Marshal Song can do anything. He is invincible. It's said that army of Great Yue always advances triumphantly when fighting with Wan Country. The capital must have gotten the good news of victory by now."
Tao Yi's eyes were shining. He grew more excited as he spoke. Now he couldn't calm down at all.
However, Tao Yi didn't notice that Jiang Feng jia looked calm all the time and she was even a little indifferent.
"Really? It sounds that he is excellent," Jiang Feng jia said perfunctorily.
When news about her engagement with Song Family had spread out from Tan yang, they instantly sent a written breach of engagement with a tough attitude. In case that other people didn't know it, they even publicized it in Tan yang's street, which had brought disgrace to Jiang family and cut off the family's last hope to survive. Did the Marshal Song come from that Song Family?
In her last life, only the servants from Song Family had come to break off the engagement. Jiang Feng jia still remembered the servants' arrogant faces,sneering at the Jiang family like it was dirt to be stepped on.
Jiang Feng jia understood why the Song family would want to break the engagement,but she sure couldn't understand the way they did it.
That year, it was the Song patriarch,Song Yuwen's grandfather who had proposed the engagement to her grandfather who had saved him. It wasn't gotten by begging them doggedly and shamelessly
Infact the Song family portrayed a stay when it's sunny and run when it gets stormy attitude.Jiang Feng jia could accept all that. But she couldn't forgive how the Song Family had distorted truth and mocked her grandfather in an arrogant way.
