Chapter 395: That’s it? Can't stop

The face of the marquis's wife was beaten into a pig's head, and the lady-in-law was tied up.

Qiao wondered how Xiaowu did it, but he also knew that this was a big deal.

She sat up straight and her tone softened a lot.

"Your Highness, Qingrong is in critical condition during childbirth. Xiaowu was a little impulsive, but she was also worried about her elder sister."

After Qiao finished speaking, she looked at Lu Juan solemnly. Seeing his gloomy face and unexpected expression, she sighed in her heart.

No matter what, this is Lu Juan’s biological mother.

There is no son who can watch his own mother tied under a tree and remain indifferent.

Mrs. Qiao is both a mother and a daughter-in-law.

She glanced at Ji Bolian. Even if the old lady Ji at home was confused, as long as her son still cared about the blood relationship, she could not be subdued.

They could leave gracefully, but Ji Qingrong would have to continue living in the Marquis' Mansion...

Since Xiaowu was the one who slapped her, she had to be the one who negotiated.

Qiao said, "Sir, Xiaowu didn't mean it."

Ji Bolian frowned and spoke, but he said in a resounding voice: "It's a matter of life and death. If you delay on the road, it will be too late. Xiaowu did nothing wrong."

Lu Juan still had a look of deep bitterness and resentment on his face.

Ji Qingwu nodded: "What I did was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it. Why do you say I went too far?"

Lu Juan raised his head and was about to speak.

Feng Shuang, who was kneeling on the ground, cried loudly, "Lord Ji and Madam favor their own daughter, but I am also the darling of the Feng family. Ji Wu is clearly planning to kill me!"

"She whipped me on my back and waist with those two whips. My internal organs are in pain now."

"It's fine if she hit me, but Ji Wu was so arrogant that she even dared to touch her mother-in-law. Does she still have the loyalty and bravery mansion in her eyes?"

Cui also showed the blood clots on her wrist and said, "Ziyou, your wife is giving birth inside. I have arranged for the doctor and midwife to come, and I am just sitting at the door of Ninghua Hall."

"But your wife's sister rushed over and sent her men to attack me."

Cui's eyes were bloodshot, and she said, "Mother has never suffered such a great injustice in her life. If...if you feel embarrassed, then forget it."

never mind?

Ji Qingwu turned his gaze and looked at Cui.

Cui Shi did have more to say. She said, "I'll go back and find a well and jump in. I won't disturb you two young couples' lives."

Lu Juan frowned and said, "Mother, what are you talking about?"

Ji Qingwu smiled and asked, "Madam, please keep your word."

Cui was extremely sad and glared at her when she heard the voice: "Why do you care about the affairs of my mansion?"

Ji Qingwu said clearly, "Who caused Lord Lu to be in such an awkward situation now? Since you did it, you have to bear the consequences."

Cui turned to Lu Juan and said, "Ziyou, if you don't do justice for your mother, then in the future, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can rush into the mansion and beat your mother up."

Lu Juan got a headache from her shouting.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, it was the Marquis's Mansion that made the mistake first, but this punishment is enough. Today's matter ends here."

Ji Bolian wanted to say something but was stopped by Qiao.

For the sake of her eldest daughter's future life in the Marquis' Mansion, Qiao chose to give in.

"Qingrong suffered so much and tried her best to give birth to a child for you. I hope you will remember this in your heart and don't let her down."

There was a flash of surprise in Lu Juan's eyes. He glanced at Ji Qingwu and saw her biting her lips and holding her breath.

He stood up and said, "Mother-in-law is right. I will take you out."

Ji Qingwu frowned. She used to think that her brother-in-law was fair in his work, but how come he has become such a fool now?

She said aloud: "Master Lu, you call this a punishment?"

Lu Juan immediately sat down, cleared his throat and said, "I wonder what Fifth Sister has to say?"

Ji Qingwu stood up and walked to Feng Shuang.

"I think this is not even a punishment. They say it's a minor punishment but a major warning. The minor punishment has been implemented, but the major warning has not been implemented yet."

Feng Shuang's back was being stared at by her, and the whip marks began to hurt.

Ji Qingwu said: "They blocked my way again and again, not wanting me to go see my elder sister."

"If I wasn't there tonight, Big Sister and the child wouldn't survive."

Her words were not meant to be exaggerated.

Ji Qingwu entered the main room of Ninghua Hall. Ji Qingrong's pulse was very weak. If it delayed for another hour, there would be two deaths.

Lu Juan's pupils shrank, as if he had also thought of such a scene.

Ji Qingwu said bluntly: "If Lord Lu has this attitude, then I will take my elder sister back home."

Ji Qingwu raised his chin towards Ji Bolian, seeking support.

"Dad, am I right?"

Ji Bolian had a lot of things to say in his heart, and his face immediately darkened.

"Master Lu, when you wanted to marry my daughter, you talked with me all night in the study. Do you still remember what you said to me? Are you going to break your promise now?"

Lu Juan seemed to be shocked, with obvious hesitation appearing on his face.

After a while, he let out a long sigh.

"I think what my father-in-law said makes sense. You can take Qingrong back."

Ji Bolian:......

No one in the room expected that Lu Juan would give in so easily.

Ji Qingwu still remembered the nervousness and panic in Lu Juan's eyes when she said this to him last time.

How come things change after giving birth? Can feelings deteriorate so easily?

Cui cried with joy and wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"Okay! Ziyou, you did a good job. I won't pursue the matter any further!"

Ji Qingwu snorted and said, "Not pursuing the matter? Madam, you must be wrong. I haven't finished pursuing the matter yet."

Feng Shuang said, "You've whipped me and tied me up, what else do you want?"

Ji Qingwu said: "It was just a temporary measure at the time. Now that I think about it, I feel that the punishment was too light."

After hearing what Lu Juan said, Feng Shuang felt more confident.

Now the Ji family is no longer a threat. The Empress Dowager hides in the Cining Palace every day, and her power has been dispersed.

"You are so arrogant. What right do you have to punish the wife of the Marquis? Just because you are the daughter of a third-rank official?"

Ji Bolian frowned and shook his beard.

He shouted, "What's wrong with being a third-rank official? What rank were your father and brother in the Feng family? How dare you speak so arrogantly?"

Feng Shuang was choked by the question, as her family background was not prominent.

Qiao tugged at Ji Bolian's sleeve. Now was not the time to compete for the official positions of his father and brother, so there was no need for Xiaowu to stand out.

Ji Qingwu glanced at the bundle on the chair.

"What do you think?"

Feng Shuang laughed and said, "You are not relying on your status as the Zhenbei General to get entangled with a wife who has no official status, are you?"

Ji Bolian said: "Watch your words!"

Feng Shuang squeezed out the words from between her teeth: "Isn't it true? You can do it, but you don't want people to say anything."

Seeing everyone arguing, Lu Juan said in a deep voice, "That's enough! Stop arguing, let's end this matter here."
