Ji Mingyang was not very close to this nominal mother. He had always been indignant about Feng's suppression of his biological mother.
Ji Baichuan's face darkened. He felt a headache when he thought about how well-behaved, sensible and likable Ji Lingxue was when she was a child, but now she looked so annoying and stupid. He married Ji Yuqing to Prince Chen's Mansion, which naturally meant giving up Ji Lingxue.
However, Ji Lingxue's maternal family background is very powerful. She has an aunt who is the empress dowager of the current dynasty. She was a sworn sister of her mother before the empress dowager entered the palace. She also has a grandfather who is a veteran of the previous three dynasties. Although these people have temporarily forgotten the existence of Ji Lingxue, if they remember them one day, he will bring disaster if he does not handle it well.
Ji Baichuan said: "Let's go and take a look first."
Before she took two steps, she ran into Feng, who had disheveled hair and smudged makeup.
The corners of Ji Mingyang's mouth twitched, and he pointed at Feng's face with an exaggerated expression, "Who is this woman? Where did this lunatic come from?"
Ji Baichuan coughed and said, "That's your mother, don't yell at her like you've never seen the world."
Ji Mingyang withdrew his hand, scratched his head and muttered softly: "Mother has always been dignified, I thought I had seen the wrong person."
Three black lines slid down Ji Baichuan's forehead and he felt extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, there were no outsiders in his house today.
Feng staggered to Ji Baichuan, grabbed his arm and cried, "Master, I can't live like this. I feel so wronged. You have to make the decision for me... Woo, I went to visit Xue'er with good intentions. After all, the prince doesn't want her anymore. She's used to the princess's luxurious life, so she must have a lot of problems adapting to the mansion. I didn't expect her to go crazy and splash water on my face as soon as I entered. Master, Xue'er and I are probably not compatible. Now she's been abandoned by the prince, and her temper is even more stubborn and difficult to deal with than before. You should send her out of the mansion."
The previous words completely distorted the facts to gain sympathy. The last sentence was Feng's real purpose this time, to drive the abandoned woman Ji Lingxue out of the Ji Mansion and let her fend for herself.
Ji Baichuan looked down at the pale-faced Feng in his arms, and patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Don't you know that Xue'er is not a very smart girl? Why bother with a child like her?"
Feng raised her head with a pair of watery eyes and stared at Ji Baichuan, "Master, don't you love me anymore? Just now, Xue'er hit me on the head with a teapot. If I hadn't run away quickly, my head would have been broken..." After saying that, she started crying again.
Ji Baichuan loved Feng the most. Seeing her crying, his heart instantly tilted to one side. He immediately said that he would take charge of Feng's case. He ordered his servants to take Ji Lingxue and Mo Xiang to the ancestral hall to kneel as punishment and not give them any food for the whole day.
Ji Baichuan naturally took into account the power of Ji Lingxue's mother's family and did not dare to go too far.
In the ancestral hall, Ji Lingxue and Mo Xiang found a corner and played chess face to face to pass the time.
Mo Xiang put down the chess piece and complained, "The master is really partial to the Feng family. He punished us directly without even listening to our opinions."
Ji Lingxue played with a tuft of long hair in front of her chest and said, "Compared to the Feng family's cruelty, my father still took good care of me. At least he didn't drive me out of the house. He just punished me to kneel in the ancestral hall for a day."
Mo Xiang took out two pieces of cake from his arms and handed them to Ji Lingxue, "Master, have some to fill your stomach."
Ji Lingxue divided the cake into two portions and handed them to Mo Xiang, saying, "Eat it. Don't go hungry. No one will serve me then."
Mo Xiang was touched. She really met a good master. "Thank you, Master."
Ji Lingxue smiled, "Don't worry, we won't be hungry for a day, we can go out later."
