Chapter 713 The Secret of the Note
Chapter 713 The Secret of the Note
Although the Yongning Marquis Mansion had been defeated, many people still came to pay their respects to Ji Qingfeng.
Ji Nanchuan could already feel that after hearing Meng's words, the guests looked at him with more or less contempt in their eyes.
It turned out that Ji Nanchuan's statement that Meng disliked Ji Yuntang's ugliness and switched her with Ji Qingqing was all a lie.
All of this was the idea of Ji Nanchuan and Old Madam Ji.
And he actually put all the responsibility on Meng.
Is this still the Marquis they know?
Seeing that Meng was about to open her mouth to speak, Ji Nanchuan quickly stepped forward and slapped her hard in the face.
"Shut up, Lord!"
"What day is today? You won't be satisfied until this place is in turmoil, will you?"
Meng covered her face and cried, "My son died, and I came here to accompany him. What did I do wrong?"
"Ji Nanchuan, if you don't let me stay here, I will die in front of you now."
After saying this, Meng was about to rush out and hit the pillar, but a figure in white clothes ran in from outside and quickly grabbed her.
"Mother, you must not do anything stupid."
"We've already lost our second brother, we can't lose you again."
Ji Zihang held Meng's hand tightly, and Ji Nanchuan only realized it at this time.
It turned out that Meng was released by Ji Zihang.
When he thought of this, he was furious and scolded: "Hang'er, even you can't tell right from wrong?"
"Don't you know your mother's temper? Why did you let her out of the backyard?"
Ji Zihang looked at Ji Nanchuan with eyes full of disappointment and a hint of resentment.
He said, "Father, my second brother was killed by Ji Qingqing. It's fine if you don't try to help him get revenge, but why don't you let mother see him for the last time?"
"Do you really want to marry another woman and abandon our mother and our three sons?"
Ji Nanchuan: "..."
Ji Nanchuan: "!!!"
He didn't expect that Ji Zihang, who was always smart and sensible, could actually say such words.
Ji Nanchuan suddenly felt tired.
Isn't he doing this for the Yongning Marquisate and the three brothers?
But only now did Ji Nanchuan realize that none of his proudest sons understood him at the critical moment.
When Madam Ji saw this scene, she became so angry that she couldn't stop coughing and almost couldn't breathe.
She looked at Ji Zihang and said with trembling hands: "Hang'er, do you also want to blame your father?"
"Now your father has been suspended by the emperor. Do you know how difficult the Yongning Marquis's residence is?"
"He has done everything for this family. Not only do you not understand him, but you also help your useless mother to make him angry."
"Hang'er, listen to your grandmother's advice and stay away from your crazy mother. She will kill you."
In Madam Ji's opinion, Meng must have said something to Ji Zihang, which caused him to become so unconscious.
"Grandma!" Ji Zihang's eyes widened and he said angrily, "My mother is not crazy, it's you and father who are crazy."
"Even if the Yongning Marquisate is in financial difficulty, can father marry another woman?"
"When did our Yongning Marquisate fall to the point where we have to rely on a woman for support?"
"Father, if you divorce my mother, you must kill me too."
Inside the mourning hall, Ji Zihang was arguing with Ji Nanchuan and Old Madam Ji.
What they didn't see was that Ji Yuntang was standing outside the door, witnessing it all.
She curled her lips and said sarcastically, "This is really a dog-eat-dog show."
When Ji Yuntang received the news that Ji Qingfeng had died today, he was not surprised at all.
After all, Ji Qingqing stabbed him near his heart.
Without surgery, recovery would be impossible.
Even if he could wake up, it would just be a last gasp.
Ji Yuntang is not a saint. Even if the other person is indeed related to her by blood, she will not save such a person.
Because she knew that the Ji family did not know how to be grateful, they just took it for granted.
If Ji Qingfeng encounters any accident again in the future, they will still blame her.
Today, the reason why Ji Yuntang came to the Yongning Marquis Mansion was because she knew that after Ji Qingfeng's death, the Yongning Marquis Mansion would definitely not have peace.
Luo Jingshen got into trouble, and Ji Nanchuan was implicated.
But this involvement was obviously not enough for Ji Yuntang.
She wanted to watch Ji Nanchuan and the Yongning Marquisate collapse step by step, only then could she justify what they had done over the years.
After Ji Yuntang left, Xia Chuhe got off a carriage.
She looked at Ji Yuntang's back and asked the maid Luzhu beside her.
"Is this the eldest daughter of Yongning Marquis Mansion, Ji Yuntang?"
Luzhu nodded and said, "To answer Madam, it is Miss Ji."
After she finished speaking, she glanced into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion and said, "The Yongning Marquis's Mansion replaced Miss Ji with the country girl. I'm afraid they must be regretting it now."
"I heard that the second young master Ji was stabbed to death by a country girl in the cell."
"In my opinion, none of the people in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion are good people. Fortunately, Madam did not agree to marry Marquis Ji, otherwise they would not know how to frame you."
Xia Chuhe pulled the corners of her lips and said calmly: "I didn't want to marry him in the first place."
"I came to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion only to investigate the truth of my parents' death with Meng."
"But now it seems that Meng Shi doesn't know who that person is."
Otherwise, given Meng's personality, Xia Chuhe felt that she would have already told her what she knew.
Because she wished she would seek revenge on the other party, and then the other party would kill her.
Xia Chuhe took a look at the Yongning Marquis Mansion, but ultimately did not go in.
To her, the Yongning Marquisate is no longer of any value in helping her.
She naturally wouldn't waste time on this.
After Xia Chuhe sat back in the carriage, she thought for a while and asked Luzhu.
"What is the relationship between Princess Ye and Meng?"
Luzhu replied: "Although they are mother and daughter, they are more like enemies."
"Meng gave birth to her, but never raised her for a single day. After Princess Ye was taken back to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, she despised Princess Ye and never fulfilled her duties as a mother. Instead, she favored that country girl named Ji Qingqing."
When Xia Chuhe heard these words, her heart moved slightly.
Ji Yuntang's relationship with Meng was just as she thought, very bad.
She suddenly remembered the secret her parents left on the note on the jade pendant.
It is said that Prince Nan Xiao and Concubine Li are having an affair.
Xia Chuhe knew that Ji Yuntang’s husband Luo Junhe was Concubine Li’s son.
