Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder To Marry

Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder To Marry Chapter 59 Part 2

"If I remember correctly, you only have one younger sister who hasn't married yet, and she is a few months older than Yunjia."

    "That bastard dares to play dirty tricks to my younger sister, I can't wait to kill him!"

    The two got into the carriage, and Jiang Lin found that Zhou Chengwang was also there, so he told Du Yuling not to get too excited, and explained the matter carefully.

    Du Yuling was so angry that he scolded Jiang Zhen as soon as he mentioned his name, but Jiang Lin didn't understand what was going on for a long time.

    Zhou Chengwang couldn't stand it any longer, so he grabbed Du Yuling's hand and made him gag himself, "From my point of view, it's like this..." 

    Du Yuling's younger sister was Du Yingying, the youngest girl in the family. She was raised by pampering since she was a child, innocent and cute, and a little ignorant of the world. From the very beginning, the Du family didn't intend for her to marry too early, but because she was favored and looked good, there were many people who missed Du Yingying.

The Du family rejected many proposals, but no one would have thought that someone would dare to play tricks.

A few days ago, Du Yingying went to the temple outside the city with Mother Du to offer incense, but they ran into a thief trying to do something wrong to her, and then Jiang Zhen fell from the sky to save her, a hero to save the beauty.

    After Du Yingying went back, she didn't tell her family. Instead, she wrote a letter to Jiang Zhen behind her family's back and then fell in love with Jiang Zhen.

Zhou Chengwang said: "Today your stepmother went to Du family's mansion to propose marriage. The little sister of Du family blushed with shame, and she agreed immediately."

"Xiao Lingzi's parents felt wronged by little sister Du's reaction, so they didn't agree, but they also didn't reject it outright. They just said that the girl is young, so they still need to see what will happen in the future."

Du Yuling added, "After they left, under the persecution of my parents, my little sister told us about the matter of Jiang Zhen who saved her in the Temple that day. She refused to talk about the rest and correspondence, but in the end we knew everything about this matter from the maid. We felt that something was wrong when we heard it. How could it be such a coincidence that when they went to the temple, they ran into a thief, and Jiang Zhen appeared immediately when the thief was about to do something."

"And this door-to-door marriage proposal must have been arranged by Anyang Bofu."

    In terms of status, Anyang Bofu really couldn't be compared with the Du family, but the Du family had produced several emperor teachers. The old man of the Du family was the one who taught Emperor Changde, and Du Yuling's father was the one who taught the crown prince. With the title of emperor teacher, everyone else had to respect the Du family.

    Anyang Bofu was repeatedly implicated because of Jiang Jinyue. After Jiang Jinyue was executed by the Empress, Emperor Changde completely ignored Anyang Bofu. No matter whose idea it was from the couple, the purpose of this marriage was definitely to win the favor of the emperor, and to let Anyang Bo be reused.

There was also Jiang Zhen, who was not capable of martial arts and human affairs. He used to be a companion of the fourth prince. Now the fourth prince and Concubine Su were missing. Jiang Zhen was often called to interrogate if he knew the whereabouts of the fourth prince. His life was also very difficult.

    If he didn't find a way out for himself, probably he would only be the second young master of Anyang Bofu who achieved nothing in this life.

    The Du family was a very good choice. Besides, Jiang Lin felt that this matter should have something to do with him. Jiang Lin and Du Yuling had a good relationship. Anyang Bofu probably thought that the Du family wouldn't refuse directly for Jiang Lin's sake, and they would give Jiang Zhen an extra look. Or maybe they felt that for Jiang Lin's face, the Du family wouldn't pursue this matter too much, even though the shady trick was exposed.

[face" is a more basic meaning than "status", "dignity", or "honor". "Prestige" appears to be semantically closest to "face", however a person can be said to have face but not prestige, or vice versa. Prestige is not necessary; one can easily live without it, but hardly without "face".]

    Jiang Lin thought for a while, touched his face and asked the two of them, "Do I have that much face?"

    Zhou Chengwang rolled his eyes and said, "The face is not small, but have you ever had such a thing as face?"

    Du Yuling turned his head away, didn't want to look at him anymore, and didn't want to make any comments.

    Jiang Lin sighed, "Oh, but Jiang Zhen's mother and son must think that I have it."

    "You have to save face, let's get down to business now. When we get to Anyang Bofu, you are responsible for bringing him out. Let's find an alley and beat him up." Zhou Chengwang raised his fist and said, "We can't beat him to death."

Du Yuling scolded passionately, "You son of a bitch, a bastard, who dares to play dirty, I'll kill him!"

Jiang Lin suddenly had a thought, "Do you know that I was called to the government for questioning just this morning?"

The two really didn't know, and said in unison: "What's going on?"

Jiang Lin said: "It's Ren Denggao that we beat up more than a month ago. Today he lied, saying that I beat him again last night, and sued me to the government."

"Before I was still thinking that the mastermind hired an idiot like Ren Denggao to slander me, but now I think it might not be slander, but a warning."

"Warning us not to touch Jiang Zhen, otherwise we will have to go to the government, or in the court."
