Chapter 299 Rebelling Against the Heavenly Gang, She's Restless

"Who are you? Do you have an invitation?"

Ji Qingwu wore a light blue veil, which concealed her face.

The guards at the gate of the Wei family did not seem to recognize her.

Ji Qingwu didn't think much of it and said, "I am the wife that your General Wei recently married. Please make way for me."

The guards looked her up and down and noticed that she was holding a young child's hand.

With her chest puffed out and hands on her hips, she said rudely, "Please remove your veil."

Not wanting outsiders to see the scratches on her face from the sleeve, Ji Qingwu said, "Can't this lady even go home?"

"lady?"

The guard was stunned, not knowing which branch of the Wei family she was.

"You still remember where this is, and you even know it's your husband's house."

Someone came out of the gate and stood in front of the bluestone steps.

Ji Qingwu looked over and saw that the girl was dressed in purple, with a delicate nose and small mouth, and bright eyes, but she had eyes with three whites showing, and looked somewhat fierce when she wasn't smiling.

It looks somewhat familiar.

Ji Qingwu must have seen this girl once before, in front of the Buddhist hall at Hanshan Temple.

However, on that occasion, she was only there to anger Old Madam Wei, and she didn't care about the group of women in the Wei family.

But for her to retain memories, this girl must be someone who has influence with Old Madam Wei, a legitimate young lady of the Wei family, not some collateral branch.

Standing on the high ground, Wei Tongyou said indignantly, "You disappeared on the second day of your marriage and only came back now. What kind of new bride are you?"

Yesterday morning, the Wei family gathered at Madam Wei's Yiyangzhai, waiting for the new bride to serve tea. However, they waited until the breakfast had gone cold, but no one showed up.

Wei Tongyou glared at her and said, "You still have the nerve to come back?"

However, she still knew to wear a veil to cover her alluring face when she was out in public, which showed she still had some virtue.

Ji Qingwu looked at her and said, "Your elder brother disappeared on the first day of his marriage, while I left on the second day. In a way, we're in the same boat."

Then, he said to the tall and burly guard beside him, "This young lady can prove my identity. May I go in?"

Upon learning her identity, the guard nervously bowed his head and said, "Please come in, Madam. It was my mistake. Please don't take offense."

This was originally Wei Ting's new wife. Even though Ji Qingwu's reputation outside wasn't good, no one in the Wei family dared to underestimate her.

Everyone in the Wei family knew that in order to marry the fifth young lady of the Ji family, Wei Ting was first punished by being made to kneel in the ancestral hall by the old lady of the Wei family, and then she went on a hunger strike to force him to do so, but none of this could stop Wei Ting.

In the end, he still managed to marry her.

Wei Tongyou followed Ji Qingwu inside. After seeing her lead a little girl through the door, she stopped in front of the artificial rockery with flowing water.

Seeing the woman's retreating figure as if she were deep in thought, Wei Tongyou said, "It's too late for you to go to Grandmother's Yiyangzhai now. Grandmother is furious..."

Ji Qingwu turned around, stopping her incessant chatter.

Confused, he asked, "How do I get to your older brother's yard?"

Upon entering, she found herself on three paths with similar scenery, unsure which one led her back to Xinyuan Hall.

Wei Tongyou choked with anger before saying, "You came back from outside and didn't even plan to go to Grandmother's courtyard to pay your respects. Is this how you behave in the Ji family?"

The women of the Wei family respected their elders and would always pay their respects to the old lady before leaving or returning home, informing her of their arrival.

Ji Qingwu thought she was making a fuss over nothing: "You're only realizing today that I have no manners?"

The thin veil fluttered slightly as she spoke.

"However, you're right, that's how unruly I am in the Ji family."

Wei Tongyou said, "You, you still have a child with you, aren't you afraid of corrupting the child?"

With her big, bright eyes wide open, Qiuqiu said to herself, "If my mother and I knew that there were so many rules to follow in your family, I wouldn't let my mother marry into this family."

Ji Qingwu's eyes curved into a smile behind her veil.

Wei Tongyou was speechless with anger at the child's innocent words, but she couldn't really argue with the child.

Who is this Ji family? They're truly upside down!

A toddler, only a few years old, is interfering in his mother's marriage arrangements.

There was no reason for Qiuqiu to stand up for her. After learning about her identity from the guards, Ji Qingwu realized her position in the Wei family from the contrast in her attitude before and after.

The stream on the artificial hill flows far and wide, and the black stones are wet and smooth.

Ji Qingwu's voice was clear and gentle.

"When I came back from going out, I was stopped at the door. After I went in, I asked for directions and was lectured."

Ji Qingwu raised an eyebrow and met Wei Tongyou's eyes.

"Why don't I write a letter now to your elder brother who is fighting in the north, and tell him that I am not used to living in the Wei family and that I should go back to my parents' home to stay for a while?"

Wei Tongyou was still young and was immediately intimidated by Ji Qingwu's words.

She didn't doubt Ji Qingwu's words because she believed the other party was capable of doing such a thing.

After all, the day after his wedding, Ji Qingwu left the entire Wei family alone and went out to enjoy himself.

Wei Tongyou's slanted eyes, when looking down, didn't appear fierce but rather naive.

Ji Qingwu's lips curled up under her veil, and she said, "Chirp chirp, let's go, let's go see Grandmother with Mother."

However, if she were to return to the Ji family now, she might actually be kicked out by Madam Qiao; she was just saying that.

"Hey, you, don't go!"

Wei Tongyou gave up and pouted.

“The one on the right, go straight and turn left.”

He spoke reluctantly, but had no choice but to tell Ji Qingwu.

If the new bride of the Wei family continues to live in her parents' home, and other prominent families find out, they will surely gossip about the Wei family behind their backs.

Most importantly, the eldest brother values ​​this woman immensely. If he finds out she's not doing well, they won't have a good time when Wei Ting returns.

Ji Qingwu nodded, and didn't forget to say thank you.

Thank you.

News of Ji Qingwu's return quickly reached Old Madam Wei.

Granny Cao said, "Madam, should I go and invite the new madam over?"

Madam Wei wiped the prayer beads in her hand with a cloth and said, "Why did you call her over to bother me? I'd rather spend that time chanting a few more sutras in front of Buddha to bless Ting'er with good health."

Thinking of yesterday's scene, Granny Cao frowned and said, "Now that Ji Wu has married the eldest son, she is a woman of the Wei family. The old lady should teach her some manners."

Madam Wei carefully cleaned the gaps between the prayer beads and said, "There's no rush. I want to see what tricks she can pull."

He then asked, "You said she wore a veil and covered her face when she came back today?"

Granny Cao said, "That's right. She's quite sensible and knows that she should pay attention to her appearance when she's out in public."

Madam Wei said, "Women's appearance and virtue? You really overestimate her. She can make such a fuss with the Emperor in the palace. What else wouldn't she dare to do?"

She wrapped the prayer beads around her withered fingers.

"It's all just trivial matters like greetings and etiquette; there's no fun in teaching them."

"What the old lady means is..."

Madam Wei got up and walked towards the Buddhist hall: "Wait a little longer, she won't be a peaceful person."

Madam Wei was right about this.

The next day, someone knocked on the door of the Wei residence, specifically asking Ji Qingwu to come out.
