Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess 142 Jiang Ying Yue 38

When the old guy detected the unusual change in the air within his family grounds, he was with another minister, discussing which of their children should marry who. The Marshal had to exert effort into controlling his facial muscles to prevent himself from being an embarrassment in front of the minister.

After properly excusing himself from his conversation partner, he summoned his guards then marched towards the direction where he detected the familiar aura. Anger was rising in his heart after he discovered where it was coming from. 

'How dare he!'

The Marshal was somebody who rose from the ranks of commoners so there was no way that he had no good head above his shoulders if he could stay in his post for so long. This was not a Xuanhuan or the pugilistic world. Not everything could be solved by violence. There was also the saying that no dragon would beget a dog for a son. Though, cough, a b*tch was possible. Anyways, given Jiang Rou Li's intelligence, since her mother was quite the airhead type of woman, her IQ could only be inherited from Jiang Ke. In other words, the Marshal was an astute and bright person. 

Chen Wang was already back. And the aura was in the direction of 'her' former house. The clues were easy to piece out.  Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

'Even if he is a prince, how dare he barge into somebody's base without asking permission from its owner!'

After cussing underneath his breath, his face turned darker. 

'But how the hell did he know where that damned lass' house is? That girl told him? For what purpose?' 

"Good afternoon, Grand Marshal." When Jiang Ke arrived at the place, he found that the person he was expecting to see there had just finished decimating a whole building... 

Right. Jiang Li destroyed the place. 

Pillars were collapsed and everything was reduced into rubbles. Even before Jiang Li arrived there, it was already quite hard to believe this was part of the Grand Marshal's estate, but now that the house was in this unrecognizable state, it was more unbearable to look at. 

"LU LING!!!" The moment Jiang Ke recovered from the shock, he immediately roared in anger. It was his property that had destroyed. And by somebody, he didn't invite home. How could he stay calm? If there was only a table or anything nearby, he would have either broken it or tossed it towards Chen Wang.

To be honest, he even wanted to kill the young man! Especially after the other nonchalantly greeted, "Hello and a pleasant afternoon to you, Grand Marshal."

The middle-aged military man's eyes were slowly turning red. 'Pleasant afternoon, your foot!' 

Jiang Li was standing in front of the destroyed house with his hands behind him. He looked at Jiang Ke and the guards behind him with a tranquil expression on his face. Jiang Ying Yue was nowhere to be seen. She was most likely visiting the 'matriarch' of this place. 

"What is the meaning of this, Chen Wang?" With great difficulty, Jiang Ke managed to smooth down his scary expression. Nevertheless, the trace of hostility in his eyes and tone didn't disappear. Looking at the ruins standing on his left, he asked between gritted teeth. "You trespassed in my home just to wreck one of my buildings?"

"Grand Marshal, This Prince admits to the trespassing part, but This Prince did not destroy anything here. I am a mere human, how could my bare hands tear down a whole building like this one?" The young general asked innocently.

Jiang Li was annoyed at Jiang Ke's face so he wanted to irritate the other. Since the other party had no evidence about the latter, he denied it. Anyway, it was true nobody saw him doing the crime. So why confess? 

On why he tore down the house, he just found its dilapidated state too irritating in the eyes. Jiang Ying Yue also already checked inside and retrieved what she wanted to retrieve so the place no longer needed to exist. Anyway, the girl confirmed she wouldn't be going back here anymore. There was also the fact that he had long planned to tear down the whole Grand Marshal Residence in the future. Now, why would it matter if he started with this one?

In front of him, the older man coldly harrumphed at him and said in a lecturing tone, "Chen Wang... Not taking responsibility for what you did is not something a real man will do. The house won't just collapse on its own. So speak, why did you tear it down?"

"Wait, Grand Marshal." Jiang Li sneered. "Are you insinuating that This Prince is lying? You kept making it sound like it's my fault. Shouldn't you be asking me if somebody else did it? I could be a mere witness, you know?"

Jiang Ke's face became darker. Seeing this, one of his people stepped forward and saluted the prince. "Your Highness, please forgive our insolence. It's just that we are too shocked by the sight. May we please know why your esteemed self appeared at our place and why the house collapsed"

The prince looked at the bearded guard approvingly, "Finally somebody courteous and could speak human."

He paused and then pretended to be clearing his throat when in fact he was thinking of an excuse. "Well," he started. "Actually, this Prince merely saw a bolt of lightning striking down this place so I rushed in to check it out."

'What?' The question played in everyone else's mind after they looked at the piles of rubbish and confirmed that there were no traces of burn or anything alike. Actually, nobody even saw that flash of lightning. The sky was so clear above. Where would it even come from? Thus, doubt formed in everyone's mind. Yet none of the puzzled guards dared to voice it out since the other party was of higher status than them and was also famous for being cold, aloof, and a no-nonsense type. No-nonsense type should mean no lying too, right? 

A second later, they got their answer. 

"Chen Wang. I never know you now know how to distort facts." Jiang Ke coldly snorted, apparently not buying the general's obviously made-up story.

'Well, from the beginning, everybody knows how to. What's surprising about me doing it.' The general laughingly thought inwardly, but outwardly retorted, "You're at it again, Grand Marshal, accusing without proof. Why would you even think I'm lying? Who knows, maybe the lightning I'm speaking of is sent down by someone from the heavens." 

The Marshal kept his silence wisely since he knew if he was provoked into asking, the answer would definitely be something which would cause his blood pressure to shoot up. 

However, it didn't mean he had no retainer with quite a slow understanding. One of the guards accidentally blurted out. "And who could that be?"

His question elicited a wide smile from Jiang Li who then answered him, "Who knows? Maybe God just wanted to be playful for once? Or perhaps, somebody from this estate who already passed away. How about Lady Yu, the deceased First Madam of the Jiangs?"

The words he uttered were like a spark that caused the robust-bodied Marshal to flap his sleeves and cape. It seemed the other military head got provoked so much that his gaze no longer hid his desire to kill the prince. 

Jiang Li was not scared though. No, in this world, what could even make him afraid?

He chuckled, "Don't look at me like that. If you found my words offensive, well, it's definitely not on purpose. Her name just popped up in my mind. After all, her daughter just got kicked out unjustly from the residence she passed down to her."
