Hearing these discussions, Chen finally reacted.
He cursed at the people who had gathered to watch the fun, "What are you looking at, you bunch of troublemakers? Get out of here!"
After she finished yelling, she shrieked at the servants standing blankly behind her, "Are you dead? Hurry up and help the Marquis in!"
The servants looked at each other, avoiding gazes and no one dared to step forward.
Chen also tried to suppress the churning in her throat, but she was too hesitant to take a step forward to get on the carriage and wipe the stains off Ji Zehai's body.
At this moment, a foul stench mixed with the smell of blood continued to emerge from the carriage.
Chen hesitated for a moment, then grabbed a maid's wrist and ordered firmly, "You, go in! Clean up the Marquis!"
The maid had been following Chen, so she naturally saw how dirty and messy Ji Zehai was at the moment.
She hesitated and didn't dare to go forward, almost crying out loud.
Seeing her shrinking back, Chen glared at her fiercely and said angrily, "Go in quickly!"
The maid had no choice but to grit her teeth and walk in.
Ji Yunchuan looked at the crowd of onlookers, a depressed look on his face.
It had only been half a day since His Majesty pardoned Ji Zehai, and Ji Yunchuan couldn't understand how so many people had heard the news?
Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan asked with a confused look on his face, "Mother, how did these people know that my father was released by His Majesty?"
When Ji Yunchuan asked about this, Chen's face turned red with shame.
She whispered softly, "Yes...I specifically ordered someone to spread this news."
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan widened his eyes in surprise.
It was as if he couldn't believe that Chen would do such a stupid thing.
Unable to bear it any longer, he shouted, "Mother! The Ji family has already been thrust into the spotlight because of the palace banquet. Now that father has finally been released, he should be humble and self-disciplined. Mother, you're making such a fuss. Do you think His Majesty doesn't despise the Ji family enough?"
There was obvious dissatisfaction and blame in Ji Yunchuan's voice.
Chen was choked by her son's words, her eyes instantly reddened. "Ever since your father was taken to the Heavenly Prison, so many people have been laughing at the Ji family behind our backs. The other day, at the banquet held by Duke Wei's residence, those women who used to have a grudge against me came out in droves to ridicule me. I just wanted to show these people that His Majesty hasn't despised our Ji family!"
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan felt his temples throbbing.
I thought to myself that the situation at this moment was really embarrassing for the Ji family!
The discussions in the crowd were getting louder and louder at this moment, and many people began to gloat over the other person's misfortune.
"This Marquis of the Ji family deserves such bad luck. He just stepped out of the prison gate and then got on this stinking carriage."
"That's right. The Ji family specially sent someone to pick up Lord Ji, but he rode in a stinking carriage. They are truly a noble family. It's not something that ordinary people like us can understand."
"No, didn't you see what was still on General Ji's lips? I think the smell in the carriage is..."
Having said that, he stopped talking.
But everyone knew what he meant and looked at Ji Yunchuan.
Seeing this, Ji Yunchuan quickly wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
Seeing the yellow stains on the white sleeves, his face became more and more ugly.
He gritted his teeth and tried to maintain his composure on the surface, but in his heart he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Finally, Ji Yunchuan raised his head, his eyes swept across the crowd with a gloomy look, and finally fell on Shen Ningyuan.
She crossed her arms, a playful smile still on her lips, and looked at him leisurely.
Facing Ji Yunchuan's resentful gaze, Shen Ningyuan raised her phoenix eyes slightly, her eyes full of provocation.
Her red lips moved slightly, and she uttered a few words silently.
When Ji Yunchuan realized what Shen Ningyuan said, his face flushed red instantly, and the murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger.
Chen Ningyuan didn't care at all. She pursed her lips and smiled, then turned around and whispered a few words in Yi Ge's ear.
Yi Ge nodded and walked towards Ji Yunchuan.
Seeing this, Ji Yunchuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Before he could react, Yi Ge had already strode up to him.
Realizing Yi Ge's purpose, Ji Yunchuan on the side hurriedly stretched out his long arms to stop him, but Yi Ge, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, dodged it.
Yi Ge didn't hesitate at all and pulled open the curtain of the carriage!
Then, those who tried to look around in the crowd followed the curtain that Yi Ge had opened and looked towards the direction—
Then he saw the maid who was called in by Chen, now sitting in front of Ji Zehai with a pale face, wiping the dirt off his face.
This scene stunned everyone.
Some people, curious about the situation, even shouted, "Master Ji... has been vomited all over!"
Afterwards, Shen Ningyuan also came over with a look of concern and asked with a half-smile, "Husband, why did you spit in your father's face?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunchuan's face instantly turned ashen.
Just as he was about to speak up to argue, Chen from the side hurried forward.
With a fierce look, he scolded: "Chen Ningyuan, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you slander your husband out of thin air?"
