Waiting for the Prince of Yun to investigate again? Is this something that can be investigated? The Madam was already panicking because of Qu Moying's words. When she heard Xiang Yi Niang still talking about investigating, she suddenly got angry and slammed the table hard, angrily scolding: "Is this something that a concubine like you should be in charge of? You keep talking about the matter of offspring, but you don't have the nerve to do that."
Concubine Xiang had already put life and death aside. After hearing Madam Ji's rebuke, she still looked up at Madam Ji and said, "Madam Ji, it is not my opinion, but that of Master Bo, and it will be reported to the emperor."
The lady's brows were twisted into a ball, and she wanted to slap Concubine Xiang twice. She was very annoyed. She picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, put it down, and calmed down: "What exactly is written in the letter?"
Aunt Xiang didn't say anything this time. She looked at the elders on the side. They hadn't even received the letter just now, so the only ones who could see the letter were these elders.
One of the elders coughed and said, "Madam, Lord Ling Anbo wrote that he wanted an adopted son so that he could carry on the family line. We can't let the family be left alone after his death. There will be no one to worship their family members. He also mentioned Miss Ji San."
"What happened to Yanyue?" The lady was shocked. This was another thing that could not be mentioned.
"It is said that when Madam Ling Anbo entered the mansion, her dowry was given to Miss Ji San. When the Crown Princess married into the East Palace, she left half of Madam Ling Anbo's dowry for Miss Ji San." said the clan elder.
The third Miss Ji, Ji Yanyue, is no longer in the Ji family.
“Yan Yue, Yan Yue…” Mrs. Ji’s eyes widened and she muttered a few words to herself.
"Madam, where did my cousin go? Since my uncle left half of my aunt's dowry to my cousin, it's natural that all of this belongs to my cousin. My cousin should make the decision. My cousin is my uncle's biological daughter. At this moment, Madam Ji still refuses to tell me where she is?"
Qu Moying raised his eyes and looked at Madam Ji and said.
"Yan Yue is already dead, what's the point of saying all this anymore?" Madam Ji pressed the chair rail hard and said angrily.
"But I heard that my cousin is not dead, she just passed away, and I also heard that her reputation seems to be damaged. But no matter what, my cousin should come out now. My uncle is dead. If my cousin is still alive, she would be my uncle's only flesh and blood." Qu Moying continued.
She wanted to see how Mrs. Ji would justify herself.
"Miss Fourth Qu, this is our family's internal affairs. It has nothing to do with you." Madam Ji had long disliked Qu Moying. She was so annoyed that she didn't care about etiquette and directly scolded her.
"Madam Ji, I am just worried about the safety of my cousin Yanyue. We have to investigate this matter. My uncle is a high-ranking official, but he didn't even know that his own daughter was in trouble. This is really wrong! Madam, please forgive Mo Ying for being so impatient."
Qu Moying helped Yu Dong stand up, bowed deeply to Madam Ji, and reiterated: "Madam Ji, please give my cousin a clear name!"
She lowered her head, her eyes were cold and bloodthirsty. She simply didn't believe the hidden meanings in the words they passed on to the outside world.
The sister died so tragically that even her reputation was not preserved after her death. How did this grandmother, who once expressed her love for her sister, remain calm and not make a fuss
To my sister.
People are all made of flesh and blood, but those in Ji’s house suck human blood and eat human flesh.
"Miss Fourth Qu, Yan Yue really died of a sudden acute illness." Madam Ji gritted her teeth hard to keep herself from losing her composure. What Qu Moying said was very well done, and she couldn't find any fault with her at this moment.
"My cousin died of an acute illness. How come my uncle didn't know about it? The letter he left behind shows that my cousin is fine." Qu Moying raised his eyes and slowly fell on Madam Ji's face.
"We kept it a secret because we were afraid that he would worry about this matter. Not only him, but we also didn't tell the Crown Princess." Madam Ji explained with a serious face.
"Where is my cousin buried?" Qu Moying had already asked, so he naturally wouldn't let the lady just say it. "I want to go and pay my respects to my cousin."
Since it is implied that the sister eloped with someone, there would of course be no grave. This is also the cunning of Pei Luoan and others. If there is nothing to check, nothing will be found. Some seemingly plausible words will not only not make people feel that the Ling'anbo Mansion is cold, but also make people feel that the Ling'anbo Mansion is lamentable.
In order to cover up the fact that his daughter had committed infidelity, he put so much effort into covering it up. If it were ever to be exposed, it would be bad for the entire Ji family.
Several elders on one side could no longer sit still, and the elder sitting in the first seat spoke up: "This is our Ji family's business, please don't interfere, Miss Qu Si."
"Miss Ji San is my cousin, shouldn't I go to pay my respects?" Qu Moying looked coldly at the elder, his face grim, his lips tightly pursed, with a murderous aura that made people's heart palpitate.
Although the clan elder couldn't see her eyes, he could feel her eyes staring at him coldly behind her veil. He felt inexplicably nervous. The aura of this Fourth Miss Qu was so astonishing that it actually made him feel a little guilty.
"Miss Qu Si, let's talk about this later. Let's first investigate Concubine Xiang's matter. I hope Miss Qu Si can consider the dignity of our Ji family."
Mrs. Ji had seen the world after all. She coughed softly and took back the subject.
The coldness on Qu Moying's face faded a little, and when she looked back, she was already smiling faintly, looking at Concubine Xiang: "Madam Ji, Concubine Xiang's affairs are actually very easy to investigate. As long as the Prince of Yun investigates, he will definitely be able to find out clearly. Right now, Concubine Xiang believes that the letter is true, and Madam Ji thinks it is false, so there is a dispute. It is because you have a dispute that the Prince of Yun will investigate."
With just a few words, he cleverly pointed out the entry point for Prince Yun's investigation.
If there had not been a dispute among the people in Ji's mansion, it would have been inconvenient for Prince Yun to intervene even if he wanted to.
At the moment, Aunt Xiang is the key, but the reason for this matter is also the key. Unclear understanding is the reason why everyone cannot reach a consensus.
None of Ji Youran and the people from the Xiao family have shown up yet. They must be dealing with the letters left by their father, fearing that there might be some bad news leaking out. They don't have time to come here now, but they will come after they have finished dealing with them. Now, while they are away, we have to let the lady make things clearer.
She specifically asked Nanny Zhou to keep those letters. They were basically for her mother. Her mother kept all the letters her father wrote when he was at the border. Later, after her mother passed away, her father collected all the letters and put them in that drawer.
The purpose of leaving a few letters was to delay Xiao and Ji Youran. The previous words were all foreshadowing.
Madam, the entrance here is the best.
Ji Youran and Xiao would never have thought that they had been with Madam Ji all the time, nor would they have thought that Madam Ji had already relented and was ready to acknowledge the matter.
Otherwise, he would not be so confident in letting Madam Ji handle these matters alone.
This reminded Madam Ji. What she feared most now was that the Prince of Yun would interfere in this matter. It was said that the Western Prison under the Prince of Yun would interrogate anyone who was alive. Some of them were even dead, and it was said that the Prince of Yun could make them "speak". Even walking past the gate of the Western Prison in broad daylight, one could feel a gust of cold wind.
Mrs. Ji breathed heavily for a few times, and she had an idea in her mind. Isn't it just to find an heir for the eldest house? Just find one. After all, they are all her grandchildren. What does it matter which house they are in
From now on, the title will belong to the family and there is no possibility that it will fall into the hands of someone else. So why bother inviting Prince Yun, the Shura King, to this matter
"Miss Qu Si, the Ji Mansion will investigate the affairs of the Ji Mansion. Concubine Xiang followed Madam Yue into the family and served Madam Yue wholeheartedly after entering. After Madam Yue passed away, she worshipped in the Buddhist temple. She has been in the temple for so many years and has a good heart. What she said must be true."
Madam Ji coughed softly, affirmed Aunt Xiang, and believed that what she said was true.
After taking a look, several clan elders nodded in succession. They also felt it was a good idea. No one wanted to have anything to do with the evil star, Prince of Yun. Although it was a matter of the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion, it later involved the Ji family, and inevitably involved them. If they were brought in front of the Prince of Yun, they would probably not be able to stand firm.
It’s better not to meet him if you can!
This person not only has a bad reputation, but also enjoys the emperor's favor. It is said that the emperor listens to him and does whatever he says. If you make him unhappy, he may kill your entire family, but the emperor may not say anything.
They thought so in their hearts, but when they heard Madam Ji's consent, they nodded their heads as if they had been pardoned.
"Madam, do you think what Aunt Xiang said is credible?" Qu Moying asked with a frown.
"Of course it is credible." If someone else had said this, Mrs. Ji would not have answered so decisively.
"Madam Ji really wants to find an heir for my uncle?" Qu Moying raised his eyebrows. Even though he couldn't see her eyes, he could sense her surprise.
"Since it is Yongming's intention, I will naturally do as he says. Could it be that he, a dignified General Jianwei, is not worthy of having offspring?" The lady snorted coldly, and became more displeased when she saw Qu Moying's surprise.
"Madam, you are indeed fair. Mo Ying would like to thank you here." Qu Mo Ying bowed sideways, and then his eyes fell on Aunt Xiang, "Can I ask Madam for a favor?"
"What's the matter?" Madam Ji asked vigilantly. She didn't like anything Qu Moying said. This time Fourth Miss Qu was very annoying. This was all Madam Ji thought in her mind. If she could let Fourth Miss Qu leave earlier, she would be willing to make some concessions. This Fourth Miss Qu was really difficult to deal with.
"My mother left me some things that day, but I don't know them now. Madam Xiang knows some things. Can you ask Madam Xiang to go to Qu Mansion today and help me sort out what are my mother's dowry?" Qu Moying said shyly, "There are not many old friends in the Yue family in Beijing, and only Madam Xiang may be able to help!"
