Chapter 1191: The Sensation After Taking Off the Mask
Translator: Lonelytree
After sending the Emperor back to the palace, Jiang Zhennan first returned to the Defender General’s Estate. He wanted to see if those people from Duke Zhengguo’s Estate had come to the General’s Estate to be the master and command the people in his estate.
However, Jiang Zhennan was stopped by the guards as soon as he arrived at his residence.
“Who are you? How can you barge into the General’s Estate?”
Jiang Zhennan was not wearing a mask. Although the rumors in the palace said that Jiang Zhennan was a handsome man without a mask, those rumors were still in the palace and had not reached the General’s Estate outside the palace.
However, even if the news spread to the General’s Estate, no one had seen Jiang Zhennan without a mask before. Therefore, they could not be sure if the person standing in front of the General’s Estate was the Great General himself or someone else.
Jiang Zhennan didn’t waste any time talking to them. He took out the silver token that represented his identity.
When the two guards saw this, they looked at each other blankly for a moment before kneeling on one knee and saying,” Great General!”
“Yes!” Jiang Zhennan replied coldly.
“Please forgive me, Great General! Your subordinates did not recognize the Great General just now!” The two guards quickly apologized.
Jiang Zhennan said lightly,” Get up! I don’t blame you!”
The two guards immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said,” Thank you, Great General!”
Jiang Zhennan ignored them and went straight into the Defender General’s Mansion.
However, when some of the commoners who passed by the General’s residence heard the guard respectfully calling out to a handsome young man, “the Great General,” they were stunned.
No one dared to believe that this handsome man was the legendary War God General who had been disfigured on the battlefield.
“Is that the Great General?”
“How is this possible?”
“I heard that General looks fierce, so he wears a mask. This…” But this general without a mask was clearly…
Many people stood in front of the Defender General’s Mansion and discussed animatedly. It was as if no one could believe that the handsome man who had just entered was Jiang Zhennan.
Finally, someone mustered up the courage to ask the two guards of the Defender General’s Mansion.
“Sir Soldiers, was the man who entered just now really the Great General?”
The guard immediately nodded and asked, “Could it be that someone has the guts to impersonate the Great General? Besides, do you think we’ll recognize our Great General wrongly?”
This person was stunned by the question and reacted.
Indeed, no one had the guts to impersonate the Great General.
Even if someone wore a silver mask and pretended to be the Great General, no one could impersonate the bloodthirsty aura that the Great General had honed on the battlefield.
This confirmed that the handsome man who had entered just now was really General Jiang Zhennan.
The news that General Jiang Zhennan was a handsome man without a mask and not some ugly man with a disfigured face spread like the wind to every corner of the capital.
All the royal families and socialites received the news.
Then, many people immediately came to the entrance of the General’s Estate out of curiosity. They wanted to see the Great General’s true appearance as soon as possible.
Compared to the other socialites, Zhou Wenya received the news the fastest.
Xiao Cui ran back to Elegant Pavilion Courtyard in a hurry. When she saw her young mistress sitting in the courtyard and embroidering, she immediately stopped and placed her hands on her hips. She panted as she said to Zhou Wenya,” Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss…” She called her a few times, but she didn’t say a word.
Zhou Wenya’s exquisite and beautiful face wrinkled slightly as she said,” Xiao Cui, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Cui finally let out a sigh of relief. Then, she said anxiously, “Eldest Miss,
Great General, he… He has returned to the residence!”
Zhou Wenya was shocked. She immediately stood up and asked with a happy and anxious expression,” Xiao Cui, what did you say? Say it again!”
Xiao Cui said,” Eldest Miss, not only did the Great General return to the residence, but there are also rumors outside that the Great General without a mask is really a mature and handsome man!”
This time, Zhou Wenya wasn’t just surprised. She asked in disbelief, “What did you say? You said that the Great General wasn’t wearing a mask? Not only was he not ugly, but he was also a handsome and mature man?”
Xiao Cui nodded and said, “Yes, that’s what I’m saying. Now, many people were running to the entrance of the Great General’s Estate, waiting to see the Great General!”
At this moment, other than shock, Zhou Wenya found it unbelievable.
She said excitedly in her heart, “Impossible, impossible! I’ve clearly seen the Great General. He was indeed disfigured, and the degree of disfigurement was very terrifying. How is he not disfigured now?”
She wasn’t happy that Jiang Zhennan had regained his looks because it meant that many women would be eyeing him like tigers eyeing their prey.
Jiang Zhennan was wearing a mask at first. When everyone thought that he was still an ugly man, she was already so jealous that she was about to go crazy because he had a fiancée. Jiang Zhennan had regained his looks, and more women would covet him. She was very unhappy.
Xiao Cui looked at Zhou Wenya’s expression and asked in confusion,” Eldest Miss, the General is a handsome man. Are you unhappy?
Zhou Wenya didn’t answer. She suddenly thought of a question and asked anxiously, “Xiao Cui, the general has returned to the residence. Did his fiancée follow him back?”
Xiao Cui was stunned and shook her head. “Young Miss, this servant doesn’t know! ”
There were only rumors that the Great General was a handsome man, but no one said if the Great General had brought his fiancée back.
Zhou Wenya immediately instructed,” Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and ask around!”
“Yes, Young Miss!” Xiao Cui immediately replied!
Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion
Everyone in the Duke’s estate was discussing the fact that Jiang Zhennan was not just an ugly freak but a handsome man.
“Didn’t you say that big bro… the Great General was an ugly monster? Why was it that when I went out today, everyone was saying that the Great General was actually a handsome and mature man.”
“Yes. Even though we didn’t see it, everywhere we went, people were talking about it. Now, many people ran to the entrance of the Defender General’s Estate just to confirm the authenticity of the matter! Now, the entrance of the General’s Estate is already completely surrounded.”
“No way, that’s so exaggerated!”
“How is it exaggerated? One had to know that the Great General had been wearing that eerie silver mask for more than ten years, and it had also been more than ten years since rumors had spread that he was an ugly, disfigured monster. Now that the ugly man had suddenly turned into a handsome man, anyone would be curious! If it weren’t for the fact that I’m busy with matters in our residence, I’d also want to run over to see what’s going on.”
“Who did you say was the ugly monster who turned into a handsome man?”
A sharp voice rang out among the servants!
