Chapter 475 Hope dashed
"All this is thanks to you!"
Hua Feixue started laughing after she finished speaking, and she laughed so hard that she almost believed it.
Of course, the Wu family’s affairs had nothing to do with Ji Qingfeng. In fact, Hua Feixue overheard it herself.
But she was happy to put this hat on Ji Qingfeng's head.
Ji Qingqing had once tried to sow discord between her and Ji Qingfeng, and now she was just trying to retaliate against him in his own way.
Two siblings with a deep affection suddenly become enemies. Who wouldn’t want to watch such a drama?
She hoped that Ji Qingqing and the Yongning Marquisate would completely break up, so that she could also experience the feeling of being isolated and helpless.
Just think of it as revenge for Ji Yuntang!
Hua Feixue's words were like a landmine in the water. Ji Qingqing was shocked and couldn't believe it.
"No, it's impossible. How could it be the second brother?"
Hua Feixue snorted coldly, "How is it impossible? You have been enjoying the efforts of the three young masters, but have never thought about giving them anything in return. You also make demands on them everywhere. Although your second brother doesn't say it, do you know what he thinks in his heart?"
"Ji Qingqing, do you know how annoying you are? Your second brother wishes you could get married sooner rather than stay at home and cause him trouble."
Ji Qingqing felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife, and her tears flowed down.
It turns out that in Ji Qingfeng's heart, she is like this?
It turned out that her three brothers hated her and wished she would not stay in the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Now that something happened at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid the three of them will hate me even more, right?
But Ji Qingqing felt that she was also innocent.
She did nothing and happily accepted the betrothal gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but ended up being thrown into a cell.
Now, she can't even keep the baby in her belly.
All this is thanks to Ji Qingfeng.
At this moment, Ji Qingqing's hatred for Ji Qingfeng reached its peak.
Hua Feixue saw her expression and knew that her purpose of instigating her had been achieved. She sneered and turned to leave.
But in the next second, a white handkerchief fell from Hua Feixue's sleeve and floated in front of Ji Qingqing.
Ji Qingqing grabbed it in her hand. After reading it, she was shocked and said, "Isn't this the handkerchief I gave to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at his birthday ceremony? How come it's here with you?"
Hua Feixue raised her eyebrows, and only then did she notice that there was a small word "Qing" on the handkerchief.
This one looks like it was hand-embroidered.
She said nonchalantly, "His Royal Highness gave it to me and asked me to throw it away. I was so busy that I forgot about it. It turns out that you embroidered it. No wonder His Royal Highness despised it so much."
"Since you like it, return it to its original owner and stop pestering His Royal Highness!"
After hearing these words, Ji Qingqing spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body became increasingly weaker and weaker. She could no longer hold on and fainted.
Hua Feixue smacked her lips, turned around and walked out.
At the same time, in a guest room in the prefect's backyard.
Ji Nanchuan knelt on the ground and begged: "Your Highness, since Qingqing is pregnant with your child, please spare her and her child's lives and release her!"
Luo Jingshen knew Ji Nanchuan's intention very well. Ji Qingqing had killed someone before and was thrown into jail. Ji Nanchuan once wanted to give up on her.
In response to this, Chen Huaxiu and her eldest son made many troubles in the government office, demanding that the Yongning Marquisate give them 100,000 taels of silver as compensation, and they would consider withdrawing the case and no longer pursuing Ji Qingqing's responsibility.
But Ji Nanchuan did not show any reaction and continued pretending to be dead in Yongning Marquis' Mansion.
Now, knowing that Ji Qingqing was pregnant with the prince's child, he came again and begged for Ji Qingqing to be released.
It was because he once again saw Ji Qingqing's value and saw that he could make a profit.
Due to a series of misfortunes, the Yongning Marquis's Mansion became increasingly destitute, and many servants in the mansion have been sold in order to cut expenses!
Old Madam Ji fell ill and lay in bed, needing medicinal herbs to keep her alive. Three days' supply of the herbs would cost at least a hundred taels of silver.
Ji Qingfeng took out the money he earned from his business and filled the hole, but it was only a temporary solution and not a long-term solution.
It’s just because his current tea business is continuing to lose money. Many people like to drink the milk tea and fruit tea in the Yanhuopu BBQ restaurant, and tea is gradually not selling well!
To this end, he did not hesitate to reduce the price and lost nearly 200,000 taels of silver.
Although Ji Huaiche was still working in the Dali Temple, his monthly salary was relatively low and he could not be of much help.
As for Ji Zihang, he has been in a state of depression since he came out of the Sky Prison. He locked himself in the room all day long and did not go anywhere. Now he has to rely on the Yongning Marquis' Mansion for support.
Ji Nanchuan urgently needs to get on the Prince's good side quickly so that he can have a backbone in the court.
The child in Ji Qingqing's belly is the most suitable chess piece for him to climb to power and wealth.
Luo Jingshen sat in the upper seat, picked up the teacup and took a sip, his tone of voice was unclear.
"My Lord, what you said is really interesting. I and Miss Ji Er haven't married yet. How do you know that she is pregnant with my child and not some other man's child?"
"Also, she killed her own brother in front of so many people. The mother and son of the Wu family asked you for compensation because she was their biological daughter. Why didn't the Marquis give it to her?"
"You can obviously rescue Miss Ji from prison by yourself, but you let me do it. It's not enough that your whole family deceived me, and you also want me to help her raise the child?"
Ji Nanchuan panicked and quickly explained: "No... No, Your Highness, that's not what I meant..."
Luo Jingshen slammed the table heavily without waiting for him to finish.
"Of course I know what you mean. You just want to save a hundred thousand taels, use me to get her out of jail, and then use the baby in her belly to blackmail me."
"But I'm afraid you're a step too late. I've already asked the imperial physician to send the abortion drug to Ji Qingqing. I guess she's already drunk it!"
"What?" Ji Nanchuan's face changed drastically, his eyes full of disbelief, "Qingqing's child is gone?"
At noon today, he received the news of Ji Qingqing's pregnancy from the government office, and he was very happy.
Ji Nanchuan even went to ask Mrs. Meng specifically whether the baby in Ji Qingqing's belly was the prince's.
Meng answered with certainty.
She also said that the prince was frightened and became impotent, and it might be difficult for him to have children in the future.
Therefore, he would definitely protect the child in Ji Qingqing's belly, and at the same time, Ji Qingqing could also be rescued.
Ji Nanchuan and Meng both thought that God had been kind to the Yongning Marquisate, and when he dealt them a heavy blow, he also gave them new hope.
