Mrs. Ji's farce finally came to an end after the imperial physician's diagnosis.
Mrs. Ji sat up again to deal with things. She had to deal with things as this matter was too big. Mrs. Ji finally figured it out when she "fainted" just now.
After sitting up straight, he shouted at Xiao, his face full of disappointment: "Kneel down!"
"Mother!" Xiao had no choice but to kneel down, feeling wronged.
"These things are all related to you. In this case, you have to give an explanation to the eldest wife for what you did. Even though the eldest brother... is gone now, his affairs are my affairs. I will not let him down. You... should go to Qingyun Temple to practice meditation during this time!"
This means punishing the Xiao family.
“Mother, I… I really don’t know…” Xiao was panicking. She was sent out to practice asceticism at this time, and it was also the New Year. How would people view her in the future
"Okay, everyone, go down. I'm tired!" Madam Ji waved her hand, not wanting to listen to Xiao's explanations. This matter couldn't be investigated further, so it had to end here. "Duan, you will be in charge of the next worship!"
"Yes!" Mrs. Duan responded.
Before Xiao was about to say something, two maids came over, one on each side, and pulled her up and walked out.
"Madam... what about this marriage?" The eldest sister-in-law of the Xiao family became anxious when she saw the situation. After the couple looked at each other, Madam Xiao hurriedly stood up.
"Let's talk about this matter when Concubine Cong is free. Now that it has been settled, all we have to do is go through the process." Madam Ji shook her hand.
This kind of thing is no longer a problem now.
What Mrs. Ji was most worried about was that the matter could not be investigated further. She absolutely could not investigate it, and she could not let Xiao continue to make trouble. She had just signaled to Xiao that if Xiao was not so stupid, she would just go to Qingyun Temple and live there for a while and keep quiet.
"Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam!" Madam Xiao was overjoyed and kept saying it. This meant that the Ji family had accepted the marriage, which was a great thing.
Even if her sister-in-law was punished, it had nothing to do with her. Anyway, her daughter's marriage was settled.
Xiao's eldest brother was a little worried. He looked back and saw Xiao being pulled out, his brows were uneasy. After being pulled away by his wife to say goodbye, he wanted to stay and ask more questions while walking out, but was pulled away by Mrs. Xiao.
The other ladies in the Ji family could not leave as the sacrifice had not yet been completed.
"Madam, what should we do with Xiefeng? Do you want to bring her here for questioning?" Qu Moying asked Madam Ji calmly.
Bring her here for questioning? That's absolutely not possible! Madam Ji was so scared that she broke into a cold sweat and said hurriedly, "This maid is not only dishonest, but also arrogant and domineering. She must be severely punished. Don't worry, Miss Qu Si. I will send someone to tell the concubine to severely punish this maid."
At this time, Madam Ji didn't care what Ji Youran said to her. Xie Feng was now the prince's person, so she convicted her on her own initiative.
I'm afraid Qu Moying won't stop investigating. Can this matter be investigated? This is going to cause a big uproar!
"Thank you, Madam!" Qu Moying said gently, without any aggressiveness from before.
Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Qu Moying would not let go. This person was nothing now, but in the future, there was no guarantee that he would not cause an uproar.
It is best to solve it at this time.
This matter has come to an end now. Madam Duan took Qu Moying and a group of ladies to wipe the spirit tablet again and prepare for the worship.
After they finished wiping it, Qu Moying placed the hairpin back in front of the spirit tablet, knelt down solemnly on the ground, and paid homage, and then left Ji's house with the two maids.
Next is the time for the grand ceremony at Ji Mansion, and it has nothing to do with her!
Next, it all depends on how Ji Youran handles it. As for the affairs of the Eastern Palace, she doesn’t have such long arms that she can’t reach them, but she can infiltrate slowly.
The matter of a maid would not destroy Ji Youran's foundation. With Ji Youran's temperament, it was impossible for her to really listen to Madam Ji and deal with Xie Feng.
Xie Feng played a big role in what happened to him. Qu Moying didn't know how much Xie Feng knew, but there must have been some shameful things that she had intervened in. Ji Youran would not give up Xie Feng easily. As long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, Xie Feng would be fine.
And I don’t want anything to happen to Xie Feng now, as he will be an important witness in the future.
What she was doing now was to shake Ji Youran's foundation. This colluded master and servant had once conspired to murder her together. So now, she wanted to create cracks in their seemingly close relationship and let Xie Feng see clearly that she was nothing more than a tool to Ji Youran.
When this tool knows too much, or when this tool makes Ji Youran feel dangerous, she will have no way out.
Sometimes the relationship of interest is the strongest layer of relationship, so she made them realize that the interests of two people are different...
"Is there any way to get this maid?" This was the first sentence Qu Moying asked after getting on the carriage, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Which maid?" Yu Dong was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "The maid named Xie Feng?"
Qu Moying nodded, with a cold look in her eyes. She wanted to get this maid back into her hands. She wanted to ask this maid why she was so sincere to her and always thought about the two older maids around her and treated them like her sisters, but she actually teamed up with Ji Youran to harm her!
She wants to dig out her heart to see whether it is red or black...
"This kind of thing actually happened, this... this..." Ji Youran stood up in shock, put his hands on the table, his face stern, and said with gnashing teeth, "Qu Moying!"
"Madam, what should we do now? Madam has been sent to Qingyun Temple. It was Madam Tai's intention that Madam Duan would be in charge of the entire mansion from now on." A maid said anxiously. She was sent by Xiao. "And Xie Feng... Madam Tai also promised Miss Qu Si that she would definitely deal with her."
Upon hearing this, Xie Feng could no longer stand still. He knelt down with a plop and said tremblingly, "Mother... Mother..."
"Who does this bitch really think she is? She actually dares to interfere in the affairs of the Eastern Palace!" Ji Youran sneered, she reached out and touched her belly, trying hard to calm the anger in her heart. The imperial physician said that she must not get angry at this time, she must remain calm, which is good for her body and will make it easier for her to conceive.
Maybe I'm already pregnant, so I shouldn't get angry at this time!
"My Lady, what should I do now? I am devoted to you...
...I have never had any second thoughts." Xie Feng cried, crawling to his knees in front of Ji Youran.
"She is she, and I am me... This is the prince's mansion, and she can't do whatever she wants!" Ji Youran said coldly.
Xie Feng was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, are you saying that you don't need to punish me anymore?"
"Pa" a heavy slap made Xie Feng's face swell up immediately, leaving a clear palm print, "Bitch, who told you to go back wearing a hairpin?"
Ji Youran glared at Xie Feng angrily. This little bitch was so complacent. Moreover, he was not aware of what had happened. It was obvious that this girl did not tell him in detail about this matter, otherwise he would have been prepared long ago.
“Your Majesty… I… I thought nothing was wrong… so I… so I wore it for a while! At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also rewarded me with many things.” Xie Feng stammered.
That was the time when she was in favor. Let alone wearing this hairpin in front of Madam Duan, she wouldn't think it was a big deal even if she wore it in front of Madam Ji.
At that time, she was thinking about what kind of status His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would give her. She, a little maid, could actually become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's woman. After the Crown Prince became the Emperor, she would be the legitimate empress. Who would dare to look down on her then
Even if she used to be a maid, so what? Those ladies still had to be polite when they saw her!
It was precisely because of these thoughts that she didn't take it seriously at the time, and later went to cry to the prince, but she didn't expect that there would be no follow-up to this matter!
Originally, I thought that the fourth young lady of the Qu family would be severely punished, but who would have thought that there would be no follow-up to this matter and it would just be left like that.
The prince didn't mention it, and she herself didn't dare to mention it. Although the prince occasionally called her over, he usually talked about Ji Hanyue's affairs. But Xie Feng didn't dare to say this to Ji Youran. She had to act as if the prince would call her over from time to time, so that the concubine would think that the prince still thought of her.
Unexpectedly, this matter that she had almost forgotten was brought up again, and Xiefeng felt very wronged.
"During this time, you should stay in your room and don't go anywhere, so as to avoid any trouble. If something happens again, I will kill you!"
Ji Youran said coldly.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." Xie Feng was overjoyed, knowing that this was Ji Youran's intention to spare her. At this moment, she no longer cared about the pain on her face. She kowtowed to Ji Youran three times. Immediately, her fair forehead became red and swollen, but she didn't care about it at this moment.
She was not an outsider, and she might not think that Ji Youran was just threatening her and would not really kill her. From what she said just now, Xie Feng clearly realized Ji Youran's murderous intent.
It was also the first time that I realized that I knew too much and that the Empress might not let me go!
But... But why doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pamper me? I am obviously very good-looking, and the concubine also gave me the opportunity to get close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and become his woman. But why doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take me to heart, but keeps asking about the Second Miss
The second young lady is already dead and is nothing anymore!
Why didn't she realize that the Crown Prince treated the Second Miss differently? She thought... She thought the Crown Prince had the First Miss in his heart...
If she had known this, she wouldn't have done it in the first place...
