Chapter 40: Civil rule or military rule?

Zhao Fendie made a big fuss at the Ji family. Mr. and Mrs. Ji wisely hid themselves. The couple made their attitude clear that since she was Ji Chengyun's mistress and heir, they would let their son solve the problem himself.

If the two of them got involved, they would not be able to explain to the Zhao family, after all, it was Ji Chengyun who had a mistress first.

Ji Chengyun protected his concubine and his children, and cursed, "Zhao Fendie, once you leave the Ji Mansion, you are no longer a member of my Ji family!"

"Who cares?"

Zhao Fendie acted calmly. She loaded everything she could take away onto the carriage and smashed all the porcelain that she couldn't take away, determined not to let the Ji family get any more benefits.

She knew in her heart that once she left the Ji family, there would be no turning back.

Several maids followed Zhao Fendie and said worriedly, "Please ask someone to pass a message to the Zhao family. With all this commotion, I'm afraid..."

I can’t go back to the Zhao family. It’s getting late. Where else can I go?

The carriage drove away from the Ji family's house and the heavy door closed tightly.

Zhao Fendie covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.

Just now in front of Ji Chengyun, she endured it tightly, her fingernails digging into the soft flesh of her palms, using the pain to remind herself not to collapse.

Zhao Fendie could cry for the years she had wasted, but not for that scumbag Ji Chengyun.

When the carriage arrived at the main street, it happened to meet Zhao Zhe who had just returned from the Wei family.

Zhao Zhe got off the horse, came to the front of the carriage and asked, "Is Fendie in the carriage?"

It goes without saying that leaving the Ji family in the middle of the night was probably because he was in a bad mood.

Zhao Fendie wiped her tears with a handkerchief, opened the car window, stuck her head out and asked, "Cousin, why are you here?"

Zhao Zhe said with a straight face, "Let's not talk about me first. Why are you wandering around outside in the middle of the night when you're not at Ji's house?"

After a woman gets married, she should abide by the code of conduct for women, support her husband and raise her children.

Most of the people who go out late at night are drunkards and women-lovers. In short, they don't go to good places.

When Zhao Fendie saw her relatives, she wanted to talk to them, but before she could say anything, Zhao Zhe scolded her.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhao Zhe said again: "Fendie, you were not like this before. You were led astray by Jiang Yuzhu. There is no decent person in the Jiang family."

The good sisters were sitting at home and the pot came from the sky.

Zhao Fendie can't stand anyone saying bad things about Jiang Yuzhu. Ji Chengyun can't stand it, and Zhao Zhe can't stand it even more!

"Zhao Zhe, how did Yuzhu offend you?"

The two have never met and are not familiar with each other.

Zhao Fendie said "Oh" and raised her voice, "I see. Could it be that your lover has brainwashed you?"

After being exposed by Zhao Fendie, Zhao Zhe's face became even darker. It was obvious from Jiang Yuzhu's bad reputation.

Anyway, he had already promised Wei Jing that he would find a way to help Wei Jing vent her anger.

In this way, the marriage of the two can be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Zhao Zhe was afraid of arousing Zhao Fendie's vigilance, so he changed the subject and said, "Fendie, don't be angry. What man is not romantic?"

Speaking of the word romantic, Zhao Fendie squinted her eyes and said, "Yes, my cousin is one of them. He is deeply in love with Miss Wei."

After several years, Zhao Zhe has become the older bachelor in the Zhao family, but he still keeps himself clean and doesn't even have a concubine.

His sincerity towards Wei Jing is so touching.

Zhao Zhe didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, and smiled smugly, "Of course, Miss Wei is the most talented woman in the capital, and I, your cousin, don't judge people by appearance. I pay more attention to a woman's talent. No matter how beautiful a fool woman is, I won't be interested in her."

Wei Jing deserves Zhao Zhe's best.

A pure and innocent woman will always be treated sincerely.

Zhao Fendie made a vomiting expression and said, "Cousin, you should forget about it. You are at most a substitute. Wei Jing only loves Mr. Xie and is trying every means to get to the top."

When mentioning Xie Zhao, Zhao Zhe became furious.

Over the years, he has been secretly trying to catch up with Xie Zhao and make Wei Jing look at him with admiration, but Zhao Zhe deeply realizes that Xie Zhao is someone he can never catch up with.

Because of this, Zhao Zhe was so lowly in front of Wei Jing.

After finally gaining some confidence, Zhao Fendie stabbed him with a knife again. Zhao Zhe said angrily, "Impossible, Miss Wei has already agreed to marry me, as long as I help her..."

"Help her with what?"

Will Wei Jing agree to Zhao Zhe?

Zhao Fendie looked suspicious and continued to test the waters.

When it came to the crucial point, Zhao Zhe's eyes flickered and he refused to continue.

It is indeed not a gentleman's act to plot against Jiang Yuzhu, but for the woman he loves, Zhao Zhe is willing to go through fire and water and be criticized by thousands of people.

Zhao Zhe almost let the cat out of the bag, and guiltily turned the topic to Zhao Fendie: "Even if Ji Chengyun has a concubine's eldest son, he still has to call you mother. What are you making a fuss about? Besides, you have been married to the Ji family for several years, but you have no children. If it weren't for the support of the Zhao family, you would have been divorced and sent back to your parents' home long ago. Are you still not satisfied?"

Zhao Fendie's heart sank to the bottom.

Zhao Zhe said this, and his parents and relatives probably thought the same.

During the Lantern Festival, Zhao Fendie was homeless.

Without my husband’s family, will I be beaten out if I return to my parents’ home?

"Miss, where are we going?"

Seeing this, the maid asked in great embarrassment.

Zhao Fendie wiped away her tears and said with a wry smile: "The only way is to seek refuge with Yuzhu, to the Jiang Mansion."

On the day of the Zhongyuan Festival reunion, Jiang Yuzhu must be at the Jiang Mansion.

It was late at night, and Jiang Yuzhu was still in the greenhouse, chatting with Princess Yutan.

Princess Yutan had been in the North for several years and had gained a lot of experience. She always talked about what happened in the military camp.

Shen Zhilan, who had been confined to the rear quarters for two lifetimes, was listening with great interest.

Hong Jin whispered back, "Go out and see, Madam Ji is here."

Jiang Yuzhu hadn't heard from the Ji family yet, so she asked, "Are you talking about Fendie?"

As Jiang Yuzhu was speaking, Zhao Fendie had already brought her maid to the greenhouse.

She was a familiar guest of the Jiang Mansion. She pulled Jiang Yuzhu's arm and said with red eyes, "Yuzhu, I can only come to you for help."

Princess Yutan stopped and looked at Zhao Fendie.

Zhao Fendie is not very smart and can easily be used as a tool, but she is also a righteous person.

Princess Yutan likes people who stand up for justice, so she couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing..."

"My Lady, my uncle has a mistress and a three-year-old son. He came to our house today and my lady divorced him in anger."

After all, it was a scandal of the Ji family, and Zhao Fendie couldn't say it.

The maid stepped forward and briefly explained the whole story.

Ji Chengyun defended his mistress and scolded Zhao Fendie as a hen that doesn't lay eggs.

After hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu became furious and could not suppress it. She asked bluntly, "Fendie, do you want to rule by civil or military means?"

Zhao Fendie didn't react for a moment, and Princess Yutan asked with interest: "Tell me more about your civil and military governance?"

"Civilized governance, of course, means using civilized methods."

No fighting, no violence, no spreading of rumors behind the scenes.

Ji Chengyun suffered from kidney deficiency and could not last even half an incense stick, so his body was printed into a booklet and sent to high-ranking families in the capital.

"Didn't Ji Chengyun say that if a man has a concubine and a mistress, it is considered romantic and will not harm his reputation at all? We should test it out."

If you are not afraid of embarrassment, then just wait and see!

Princess Yutan twitched her lips. This method was really not very virtuous, but it was inexplicably refreshing. She asked again, "What about Wu Zhi?"

Jiang Yuzhu served tea and snacks to Zhao Fendie, and asked the kitchen to prepare a bowl of plain noodles.
