Mrs. Ji hasn't had a good time lately.
Not only is her life difficult, Madam Ji now dares not even go out. Like Ji Youran, after hearing those rumors, she was shocked, frightened, and guilty.
Unlike others who just guessed, Mrs. Ji knew some of the inside story, so she started crying in the house.
Did she want to be like this? She didn't want to, but there was no other way. It had to be like this now.
The second granddaughter was the Crown Princess at the time, and the eldest son was also promising. With her eldest son around, how could she suffer such a great injustice? She only found out about it later.
While crying, she asked someone to call her second son over.
Ever since the second branch fell from power, the second son and the eldest grandson have been missing all day. When Ji Yuanxing was betrothed to Xiao Haitang, Mrs. Ji was completely unwilling and displeased.
But now she felt that Xiao Haitang was a good person, completely different from her aunt Xiao. He would visit her from time to time and even stayed in the mansion these days. Whenever he had time, he would come to talk to her and advise her.
Compared to Madam Duan, Madam Ji likes Xiao Haitang more. After all, Xiao Haitang is good at talking and praising her, and her status is also good. Even if Madam Duan's status has been raised, Madam Ji still looks down on her. She was originally a dowry maid, and later became a maid who accompanied the emperor to the bedroom. Her status is really too low.
If I hadn't been scared to death at the beginning, I would never have agreed to take Madam Duan as my co-wife.
Mrs. Duan also came to pay her respects every day, but she usually just sat on the side. It was Xiao Haitang who mainly talked to Mrs. Ji.
Madam Ji felt that Xiao Haitang was not the same Xiao as before. She looked like a kind girl and spoke nicely, which made people feel comfortable. But in fact, wasn’t Xiao the same as before
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao had served Madam Ji so well that she was particularly fond of the second wife and increased her ambitions, so many things wouldn't have happened later.
The Ling'an Marquis's Mansion collapsed because of this. When Madam Ji thinks about it now, she feels that it was all the fault of her eldest granddaughter. It was the eldest granddaughter herself who had no talent or beauty, could not win the prince's heart, but insisted on entering the East Palace, which led to such a big disaster.
That's what I think about Mrs. Ji selectively forgetting some things.
Ji Yongan was called over. Madam Ji wiped her tears and scolded Ji Yongan without caring that Madam Duan and Xiao Haitang were beside her.
Ji Yongan was so annoyed by her scolding that he threw away his sleeves and said with an unpleasant expression, "Mother, you don't have to scold me. You know about this, and you can't blame me. It was all Youran's idea. If it wasn't for that... it wouldn't be like this now."
To be honest, Ji Yongan regrets it now.
Why did he get so excited and listen to his daughter and do such a thing? He even planned a lot for this! Now his elder brother is gone, his second niece is gone, and what he is waiting for is not him inheriting the title, nor is his own daughter ascending to the position of Crown Princess. Instead, he has fallen to this point.
In the past, Ji Yongan's friends would always tease him, saying that he was the prince's father-in-law. Ji Yongan would have enjoyed this before, but now he only felt it was full of irony. Not only was his daughter's status getting lower and lower, but now he had to bring up these things that happened in the past.
Like Madam Ji, Ji Yongan was very scared by such rumors. Although this was not true, it was not far from the truth.
How could he not panic
If he had known that he would end up like this after his eldest brother passed away, he would have stopped his daughter no matter what. It was because of that crazy woman Xiao and his eldest daughter's mad desire to become the Crown Princess that they got involved in such a matter. Was it right for him to get involved in such a matter
Whenever he got into trouble in the past, his elder brother was always there and he never panicked. But now, Ji Yongan didn’t know what to do, and he felt even more annoyed facing his mother who looked accusatory.
With such a big opinion, what have you been doing before
Wouldn’t it be enough to oppose it early
He didn't believe that his mother knew nothing about what happened between You Ran and the prince. His mother was in the backyard, Xiao was also in the backyard, and so was his daughter. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit his niece, his daughter was always there. If his mother had no other ideas, how could she let her daughter always be by his side
It was clearly the mother who had the idea first, and then Mrs. Xiao and her daughter had the subsequent idea. If we look at the root of the matter, this matter was the mother's fault.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that this matter has something to do with me?" Seeing that Ji Yongan dared to refute, Mrs. Ji was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She pointed at Ji Yongan and cursed, "If it wasn't for you and Xiao Shi... if you didn't say..."
Seeing that Madam Ji was about to speak out of turn, Ji Yongan panicked and interrupted her quickly: "Mother, I don't understand what you are saying. Wasn't it you and Xiao who were in charge of the backyard affairs in the beginning? It was also your idea that You Ran wanted to enter the East Palace. If you didn't agree, how could we have made such a big decision? Look at it now, nothing good has happened, and we are blamed for everything."
The lady was furious. She covered her chest with her hands and stretched out her fingers again and again. Finally, she said everything: "You bastard, it was you... it was you... who said that. At that time, You Ran... At that time, You Ran..."
The old lady was really furious. Those people from the second house had been begging her, and said that if she didn't agree, they would force her eldest granddaughter to death. How could she bear to force her most beloved granddaughter to death? Even if there were some things... she could pretend not to see them, and only hoped that her eldest granddaughter could climb the road to success.
Although the second granddaughter was also a granddaughter, how could she compare to the eldest granddaughter, who she had placed high hopes on since she was a child and who she wanted to cultivate wholeheartedly. It was a pity that the prince later betrothed the second granddaughter. The second granddaughter was not as filial as the eldest granddaughter, who could not talk to make her happy.
Compared to the second granddaughter, the eldest granddaughter is Mrs. Ji’s favorite.
For the sake of her most beloved granddaughter and for the honor that was about to be obtained, Madam Ji directly sent Ji Youran to the Eastern Palace under the name of Ji Hanyue.
But wasn't it the second room's guys who begged for it? Why was it all her fault now? Madam Ji was so angry that she was about to explode.
"Mother, there's no point in saying all this. Youran sent someone to tell me today that you should stay in the mansion and recuperate well. Don't go anywhere to avoid unnecessary trouble. If something really happens to you, she won't be able to save you." Seeing his mother so angry, Ji Yongan didn't care. He only told Madam Ji what came from the East Palace.
In his opinion, if Mrs. Ji had been better to her eldest brother's family and not favored her daughter, the current situation would not have happened. It was all her mother's fault. Now that things have reached such an irreversible point, why is she still making trouble here
Crazy, what's the use of calling yourself here
Can he revive Big Brother again, or what
"You unfilial man..." Mrs. Ji picked up the teacup beside her and threw it at Ji Yongan.
Ji Yongan stood up and took a few steps back, but he didn't retreat very smoothly. A large spot on the front of his clothes was wet, which looked extremely unseemly.
"Mother! Can't you just stay here? Sister-in-law and Haitang are here with you, why are you still making a fuss? You should have guessed this possibility when you sent Youran to the East Palace. Why did you agree to send Youran there on impulse? What's the point of regretting it now?"
Ji Yongan said unhappily, patting the front of his clothes with his hands. The more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt. His mother was really old, and no one wanted to see this. He was already annoyed enough and didn't go out that often. He was always ridiculed when he went out. Even if he could bear it, he didn't want to go out and make himself uncomfortable.
Madam Ji thought that he was never at home, but in fact he was there most of the time, he just avoided Madam Ji.
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Madam Ji, turned around and strode out with a very grim look on his face. If possible, he would rather not come here like this.
However, Donggong's intention was to let him explain the past to his mother. It was all his mother's fault, and she actually had the nerve to make a fuss. Ji Yongan still felt that this was right. He also thought so, so he made this trip. Otherwise, it would be another mistake for not being in the mansion.
The rumors outside are getting worse and worse. Why didn't the prince send anyone to stop them? If these rumors spread, there will be trouble...
Ji Yongan had a bad feeling...
Seeing Ji Yongan leaving like this, and with such a reckless look, Mrs. Ji fell on the chair in anger, crying out that her chest hurt.
Mrs. Duan and Xiao Haitang, who pretended they didn't exist, hurried forward to persuade them and serve them tea.
When she calmed down, Mrs. Ji burst into tears: "Why did I give birth to such a thing? What sin did I commit in my previous life?"
Madam Ji cried loudly.
Madam Duan was pushed aside. Madam Ji's trusted maids had always been powerful in the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion. Not to mention her, even Xiao Haitang was pushed aside.
"Madam, don't be angry. The Second Master also loves his daughter."
"Madam, the second master can't speak. You can't get angry like that. You have to take care of your body."
"Madam, please don't let your mind get so bad that it will hurt your body. If the concubine knew how you are now, she would be worried again."...
Several old women were trying to persuade him one after another, and they were all trying to curry favor with him.
Madam Duan frowned and looked at the old woman who said that Madam Ji was "unable to get over it". This old woman was also one of Madam Ji's most trusted confidants, but what she said was not quite right.
What does it mean to be unable to let go? Who can be unable to let go? Just like Mrs. Ji, she can let go even when others are unable to let go.
It was such a big thing back then, losing her granddaughter and her son, but she only felt bad for a few days and then got over it, eating and drinking as usual, and living her life as comfortably as ever...
His eyes drooped slightly, then slowly raised again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. The thing that the British princess asked him to pay attention to... has it appeared
