Chapter 475 Scum? Break his legs
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, he met General Zheng Cheng who was rushing over.
"Uncle Zheng Cheng, why are you here?" Yao Qingnian jumped off the carriage.
"Nianran girl, you're back. That's great. I have something important to tell you."
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Come on, let's talk inside." Zheng Cheng asked her to go inside the mansion first.
The two entered the mansion together. Along the way, Zheng Cheng looked solemn and said nothing. When they arrived at the main hall, the old Duke and others had already come. They were very happy to receive the news that Yao Qingnian was back.
"Grandpa, grandma, mother, I'm back." Yao Qingnian bowed to them.
"Good child, get up quickly. It's great that you're back safely. How was your journey?" Old Duke Chen asked with concern when he saw her come in.
"Grandpa, everything is going well."
"That's good. Your mother and grandmother are thinking about you all the time! My ears are almost callused from all their nagging."
"Come here quickly, let us take a good look." Old Madam Chen waved at her and asked her to come over. Yao Qingnian walked over. They looked her up and down, and saw that she was not injured and was still the same as before, so they felt relieved.
"I'm fine! Grandma, mother."
"Okay, okay, mom will ask the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes later and tell us what happened along the way." Chen Shuhua happily instructed Yuzhu beside her to prepare.
"Zheng Cheng, what's wrong with you today? You haven't spoken since you came in, and your face looks so ugly. What's wrong?" After looking at his granddaughter, Old Duke Chen noticed Zheng Cheng who came in with them.
"My Lord, I have something to tell you."
"Everyone here is our own. Just say whatever you want to say. When did you become so slow?" Old Duke Chen couldn't help but feel worried for him when he saw that he was hesitant to speak today.
"How about we go down first?" Yao Qingnian thought that he had something important to say to his grandfather and prepared to go down.
"Wait, girl, this is about you." Zheng Cheng looked at Yao Qingnian.
"About me?" Could it be that his background was discovered?
"Yes. Lord Duke, the last time we found a boyfriend for Miss Nianran, it was Captain Lu." Zheng Cheng talked about Yao Qingnian's marriage.
"Yes, yes, that's true. Didn't we say at that time that we would wait for Nianran to come back and see? Girl, now that you're back, what do you think? If there is no problem with this matter, your grandfather will arrange a marriage for you." When old Duke Chen talked about this, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out.
"No, Duke, this marriage has to be cancelled." Zheng Cheng stood up and objected.
"What's the matter? Didn't you say before that the boy named Lu is very good, down-to-earth and hardworking, and a good match for the girl? Why are you objecting to this?" The smile on Old Duke Chen's face froze.
"I didn't know him before. I take back what I said!" Zheng Cheng was angry. He continued, "Didn't we send someone to get information? The person we sent has already returned."
"Well, how's the investigation going?" Everyone looked at him expectantly, only Yao Qingnian thought to himself that this was not good, because they sent people to investigate and ended up revealing all his secrets.
As expected, Zheng Cheng said with an unhappy look on his face: "Hey! This brat, I thought he was a good person. He usually does things and speaks in an upright and frank manner. I didn't expect that he is such a hypocritical person in private."
"Uncle Zheng Cheng, Captain Lu is a very handsome man..." Yao Qingnian wanted to say something nice about him.
"Girl Nianran, it's all that brat's fault for hiding it too deeply. He's no good, a scumbag. We don't want him. Uncle Zheng Cheng will find you a better one." Zheng Cheng sighed.
"Why don't you tell me what's going on? It's driving an old man like me crazy." Old Duke Chen asked anxiously after listening for a long time without hearing the man get to the point.
"The people who went to investigate came back and said that Captain Lu is already married and has a son who is six or seven years old." Zheng Cheng told Yao Qingnian the news he had received and looked at her worriedly, fearing that she would be sad.
"What! He actually hid such a big thing! And didn't say a word!" Old Duke Chen slammed the table angrily.
"Don't be angry, Duke. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt. He is not the only man in the capital. Our Nian Ran is so outstanding that there are many men who want to marry her." Zheng Cheng comforted him.
"Fortunately, I didn't go there immediately to finalize the marriage, otherwise, things would have been difficult. Fortunately, I found out everything." The old Duke was glad that he did not act impulsively.
"Dad, if that's the case, then let's find a suitable marriage for Nianran. The eldest princess recommended several outstanding young talents in the capital to me a few days ago. This time, we don't have to rush and we can take our time to choose." After Chen Shuhua heard that Lu Huaijin was such a person, her previous good impression of him was gone. She originally thought that he had a simple family background and came from a small place, so he didn't have that many tricks. Who knew that he was just like Shen Wenting, not a good person.
"Shuhua is right, we can just look for it again." Old Duke Chen comforted Yao Qingnian.
Yao Qingnian was so embarrassed that he was about to deduct the price of his three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. In the current situation, there was no better way than to confess.
"Grandfather, mother..."
"Nianran, don't be sad. There are so many good men in the capital. One day, your grandfather will personally select them for you and check them for you."
"I didn't..." Why was she sad?
"Okay, it's settled now. No one is allowed to mention it. From now on, that brat named Lu is not allowed to set foot in our Duke's Mansion. If he dares to come in, I will break his legs." The Duke had just finished speaking when a servant came to report from outside.
"My Lord, Captain Lu requests to see you."
"Hey, this brat, he dares to come over here! Go get my sword, I must teach him a lesson." The anger that had just subsided in Old Duke Chen rose up again.
Yao Qingnian held his forehead with his hand. How come he arrived so punctually and bumped right into the muzzle of the gun.
"Let's go!" Zheng Cheng was about to accompany the old Duke out angrily.
"Wait a minute." Yao Qingnian tried to dissuade them.
"Nianran, don't worry, with us here, no one can bully you."
"No, grandpa, you misunderstood. Please sit down first. I have something important to tell you." Yao Qingnian smiled awkwardly.
"If you have anything to say, it won't be too late to talk about it after we teach that brat a lesson and come back." The first thing Zheng Cheng wanted to do when he received the news was to rush over to question Lu Huaijin, but he thought that it was a military camp and if the matter got out of hand it would affect the girl's reputation, so he held back. But now that it's delivered to his door, don't blame him for being rude.
