"Hey, it's your fault for neglecting this distinguished guest. Since you knew that your distinguished guest was coming, how could you not prepare in advance?"
The few people had just sat down. Before Lan Lan could reply, a sharp and reproachful voice came from the door.
Mrs. Ji turned around and saw that it was Mrs. Qin, the second roommate, and her face suddenly became a little stiff. Then she looked at Ji Xiaoyun behind Mrs. Qin, who was dressed in a colorful dress, and her face became a little darker.
"Why did the second sibling come out with the second young lady? Why don't they take the second young lady to practice dancing in the backyard?"
It was obvious that the second wife's visitor was not a good person, and Mrs. Ji didn't give her any face and said so directly.
The warning in those words was very obvious.
Last time, the princess had already beaten the second bedroom in front of everyone in the house, but now this Qin family is still acting in such a shameless manner that she simply doesn't take her as the mistress of the house seriously.
Now facing her future cousin-in-law, Mrs. Ji cannot allow herself to lose face in front of others.
"Sister-in-law said this. When a distinguished guest comes to visit, even the eldest daughter is ill and goes out to greet him. How can the younger sister and younger sister hide in the backyard to enjoy their leisure time and neglect the noble person!"
When the eldest lady mentioned the last time the princess reprimanded Yun'er, Qin's expression was also very aggrieved, but it only took a moment to calm down the anger in her eyes and fight back with an easy-going smile.
Both the inner and outer meanings of the words are ironic that the eldest daughter-in-law is just a useless sick child, and her intentions are obvious.
Lan Lan saw the flash of swords and swords going back and forth clearly from the sidelines.
Leaving aside the two mothers, looking at the two girls in this hall, they are clearly superior in comparison.
Even though the eldest lady Ji Fanghua was being ridiculed, she still stood calmly where she was without showing any signs of anxiety.
On the other hand, the second young lady Ji Xiaoyun kept staring at the eldest lady's beautiful face. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, Zangdu couldn't hide the jealousy and cruelty in her eyes.
Today's Ji Xiaoyun was dressed up carefully, and she looked charming and graceful. However, Ji Fanghua's presence almost instantly compared her to an ugly duckling.
Especially Ji Fanghua's calm and elegant demeanor is unmatched by the temperament of Xiaojiabiyu like Ji Xiaoyun.
As Lan Lan's eyes moved slightly, she had already praised Chunfeng's eyes many times in her heart.
Over there, Mrs. Qin had just finished her arrogant sarcasm, her face full of pride.
The next moment Miss Ji spoke: "Thank you for your concern, Second Aunt. Fanghua has always been weak, so I asked Second Aunt to take care of her. But now that Fanghua is in good health, Second Aunt please rest assured and spend more time taking care of her in the future." Second sister, let me improve my dancing skills as soon as possible, find a good man, and live a happy life! "
Ji Fanghua bowed lightly and spoke briefly.
The generous words made Mrs. Qin so angry that she choked in her chest, but she couldn't get angry, so she could only grit her teeth and say bitterly.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Miss!"
Seeing this, Lan Lan raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded secretly in her heart.
It seems that this eldest lady is not someone to be bullied, and her temperament is quite to her liking.
Lan Lan felt a little better about her future cousin-in-law.
After several exchanges, Mrs. Ji saw that Qin and her daughter were still staying where they were, so she paid no attention to them and just turned to look at Lan Lan with a smile.
"The affairs in the house make the young lady laugh."
"It's okay, I really like the temperament of the eldest lady." Lan Lan gently shook her head and looked at Ji Fanghua and nodded with a smile.
"Mrs. Ji, I am here today because of the entrustment of Princess Yao. I came here specifically to ask for a message for my cousin." Lan Lan turned to look at Mrs. Ji and said solemnly.
He reached into his sleeve, took out a big red Geng post, and handed it to the maid beside him to present it to Mrs. Ji.
When Mrs. Ji saw the bright red Geng Tie, she was convinced that her daughter's marriage was finally settled. She glanced at the daughter beside her and nodded.
"You are really a good lady. Her father and I have no objection to this matter. As long as Hua'er is willing..."
After hearing this, Lan Lan looked at Miss Ji with a smile on her lips, waiting for her answer.
Deep down in his heart, he sighed, Mr. Ji and the eldest madam really loved the eldest lady very much. This was evident from the fact that the two of them could leave the marriage matter to her to make her own decision.
If this were another official family, such an outstanding daughter would always be used to form alliances and marriages and become a pawn for the family's interests.
Seeing that the eyes of his mother and the young lady opposite him were all focused on him, Ji Fanghua nodded shyly to express his willingness.
But at this moment, Ji Xiaoyun, who had been standing aside, couldn't help it anymore and opened her mouth.
"No, eldest sister cannot marry Mr. Duan."
Her sudden shout successfully diverted everyone's attention.
For a moment, countless pairs of eyes in the hall were staring at her.
"Oh, really? Then the second lady, tell me, why can't it be done?"
The two people interrupted again and again. Even though Lan Lan had a good temper over the years, she was a little displeased and asked with a dark expression.
Now that she comes to Ji Mansion, she not only represents the identity of the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, but also represents Prince Yao's Mansion. How can she be allowed to be so presumptuous again and again.
"I...I, eldest sister, eldest sister, she just can't." Ji Xiaoyun gritted her teeth and pinched the silk handkerchief in her hand, as if she was risking her life, and continued.
"The doctor said that my eldest sister has been ill for a long time and is afraid that it will be detrimental to her children in the future, so she cannot marry Mr. Duan."
The moment Ji Xiaoyun finished speaking, she felt that she had gained a lot of confidence. She straightened her back and looked at Ji Fanghua with a hint of undetectable pride in her eyes.
Sure enough, the next moment, Ji Fanghua's face turned pale, and she looked shaky.
Mrs. Ji's face was also very ugly, she frowned and looked at Ji Xiaoyun without saying a word.
Mrs. Qin on the side watched her daughter reveal the unspeakable secret without stopping her at all.
He even waited for the panic on the eldest lady's face with a proud look on her face.
She just wanted to ruin this marriage. Why could a sick man be at her fingertips when her daughter couldn't get it? She would never let them get what they wanted.
Mrs. Qin secretly resented that this was just to dispel the anger in her heart that had been suppressed by the elder for a long time.
But I'm afraid today is destined to disappoint her.
Lan Lan, who always spoke beautifully, looked at the proud expressions of the mother and son with cold eyes, and felt that these two people were just as disgusting as the sisters from her mother's family, and she suddenly became angry.
He said coldly: "Oh, it's not good for the heirs? You also said it, it's just bad. Could it be that my cousin's medical skills can't cure the young lady's old illness? Even if he is not enough, the princess will take action herself. That's it.
Besides, whether they will have any heirs in the future is also a matter for your eldest sister and the Duan family. Why should you, a little girl who has not left the government, worry about it? "
Lan Lan frowned and said with a look of disgust and sarcasm.
Every word was so heartbreaking that the Qin mother and daughter's faces turned green and red, and they were speechless.
Originally, Lan Lan had a fiery temper, but she has restrained herself a lot over the years as a mother. I didn't expect that she could be angered today. This is really a rare thing in recent years.
Seeing that Lan Lan was angry, Mrs. Ji stopped being polite and said coldly to Mrs. Qin.
"If the second younger brother and sister have nothing to do on weekdays, it is better to go back and teach the second young lady the ways of etiquette, justice and shame! Such a good deed at such a young age, openly telling the words of the heir, if this is passed on, there will be no shame. This is the family tradition of my Ji family.
If this happens, don't blame me for using family methods to correct the family tradition! "
"you... "
Ms. Qin was choked by the eldest lady and could not speak. Looking at her daughter's aggrieved expression, she secretly hated her.
She didn't expect that this young lady would not care at all about the fact that the sick man's heirs would be in trouble, but she had such an attitude.
I originally thought that this time I could successfully get Yun'er to marry into the Mingzhu Mansion by using the name of the eldest lady's heir being in trouble, and also gain a relationship with the palace by the way. In this way, the child's father would be able to get a promotion, and at the same time, she could use this opportunity. , arrange a good marriage for his son.
The Qin family had prepared such a good thing in advance.
But now I'm afraid everything will be in vain.
But how could she be willing to do so! Why is it that the eldest son of the house is already a second-rank official, while her second master is only a sixth-rank official, making her unable to hold her head high in this family and being looked down upon by others...
"Yes, thank you sister-in-law for your teachings, Yun'er, let's go!"
Although Mrs. Qin gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, she still did not dare to express it on the one hand.
They had already fallen behind on this matter today and had no intention of continuing to struggle. They might as well leave early and find another solution.
After saying that, Mrs. Qin took Ji Xiaoyun's hand, waved her sleeves and left.
"Young madam, you are offended today because of my lax management of the family."
Seeing the two people leaving, Mrs. Ji said to Lanlan with a guilty and grateful look.
She felt guilty for letting those blind things in the backyard attack the people sent by the princess. What she was grateful for was that Lan Lan did not have a different view of her daughter because of the issue of heirs, but instead spoke out to defend her daughter.
"Madam, please don't be so polite to me. There is no one in the backyard who doesn't have a hard-to-recite sutra. No matter what the situation of the eldest lady is, since the princess asked me to come, it means that the Pearl Palace has recognized the eldest lady. There will be no changing."
Lan Lan shook her head and comforted softly.
She was also shocked when she first heard about Ji Fanghua's heir's unfavorable situation. Chunfeng had never mentioned this to her.
But since Chunfeng asked her to come, she must have understood everything clearly.
So although Lan Lan was confused, she was still sure.
Hearing this, Ji Fanghua and Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief again.
Without the trouble caused by the second wife, the two parties had a good talk. After the two families exchanged invitations, Lan Lan declined Ji Fu's offer of a meal in the name of good news.
I stepped on the carriage and hurried to Mingzhu Mansion to announce the good news!
After Lan Lan left, Mrs. Ji and her daughter looked at each other, then looked towards the east side courtyard with deep eyes...
