Early in the morning of that day, Nanny Yan prepared the carriage to take Ji Yunhuan home.
There was no sign on the carriage, but the interior was decorated very comfortably, with plenty of space for both sitting and lying down.
There is a thick cushion under the body. The driver is very skilled and I can hardly feel any bumps when sitting in it.
"Miss, if you are tired, take a nap. We will be there soon."
There was a hint of excitement in Taohong's voice. She couldn't wait to see the young lady deal with Aunt Zhang!
Ji Yunhuan was indeed a little tired. Now she had become extremely sleepy. She slept very lightly at night and always got up at night. During the day, she slept until noon and then had to take a nap.
Fortunately, she was the one who had the final say in Shuiyue Temple. Nanny Yan only took care of her and had no intention of disciplining her. She gradually got used to Nanny Yan's presence.
Ji Yunhuan lay down with Taohong's help, closed his eyes and dozed off.
The carriages soon drove into the alley. The three carriages driving side by side filled the alley. The guards behind them rode on tall horses and roared past, looking very majestic.
The people living in this area are all officials of medium rank, who can barely attend the grand court meetings. Today happens to be the grand court meeting, and the masters of the families have all gone to court, leaving only the women at home to take care of the housework.
Hearing such a loud commotion outside, many people couldn't help but come out to join in the fun.
"Oh, look at the three horses pulling the cart. They're not something people like us can afford. They're divine horses that money can't buy!"
"These guards are really impressive. Don't underestimate their small number, but they have a calm and composed aura. They are all trained warriors. Even the guards we hired wouldn't be enough to fill their gaps."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Which noble family is going out? I wonder which family is so lucky to have such a noble person."
"That carriage is inlaid with night-shining pearls. With such a high quality, it must belong to a duke or marquis's mansion. Maybe it even came from the palace."
"Shh...be quiet, don't let the noble hear me. I'm clearly trying to hide my identity, how can you be so tactless!"
As people were talking one after another, the carriage stopped at the gate of Ji Mansion.
The Ji Mansion is the richest house in the entire alley. It is a large house with five courtyards in front and back. There are many maids and servants in the house. Now that a distinguished guest has come, it is really enviable.
The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The whole street was alarmed, and more and more people came to watch the excitement.
This was exactly the effect Ji Yunhuan wanted. She lifted a corner of the curtain and saw that most people had gathered. Then she said to Nanny Yan beside her:
"Madam, please tell the mistress to go out and greet us. Don't worry about anything else."
Ji Yunhuan believed that Aunt Zhou would come out, and she wanted to tear off Aunt Zhou's hypocritical mask in front of everyone!
Nanny Yan looked at the doorman who came out in a hurry, and her tone was full of disgust.
"How unruly! Is this how the Ji family trains their servants? Don't offend my master."
The concierge was intimidated by her aura, and his aura suddenly became lower. He glanced in the direction of the carriage and asked cautiously, "I wonder who's inside?"
Nanny Yan glanced over with a sharp gaze and angrily scolded, "Are you qualified to question my master? Open the main gate and have the mistress of the house come out to greet him. It is a blessing for you that my master can come. If you neglect him in the slightest, the consequences will be more than you can bear."
The doorman's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees. He didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately went in to report.
Inside the Ji Mansion.
Aunt Zhang was leaning on the soft couch, surrounded by a group of maids and old women, all of whom came to report to her about the affairs of the mansion.
She now has the power to manage the family and has a son and a daughter. Her son Ji Yongchang is the only male in the Ji family, and her daughter Ji Yonglianhua is beautiful and is about to marry the prince of the marquis's family.
Concubine Zhang was in high spirits and had already regarded herself as the mistress of the Ji Mansion. All the concubines in the mansion had to live under her will. The master loved her and the servants also flattered her. She was only missing the title to be the principal wife.
"You said a distinguished guest has arrived? Which distinguished guest? And you even asked me to go out and greet him personally. What a presumptuous act!"
The doorman knelt on the ground and didn't dare to answer. People said that the mistress of the house would come out to greet them, but Madam Ji had passed away a long time ago and the old lady was in poor health, so Aunt Zhang was asked to help with the housekeeping.
Logically speaking, the old lady should have gone out to greet her, but no one dared to mention it now, for fear of angering Aunt Zhang, which would make their future life difficult.
Ji Yonglian ran out of the house. She was wearing a fresh goose yellow top and a emerald green skirt. The red hairpins on her head swayed with her movements, making tinkling sounds.
"Mother, it must be the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan! Brother Lang promised to marry me, and the wife must be here to discuss the marriage."
Aunt Zhang became even more excited when she heard this, and immediately ordered, "Quick, quick, open the main gate to welcome the Marquis' wife into the mansion. Don't neglect this distinguished guest."
"Lian'er, hurry up and get dressed, and come with me to greet the Marquis. My Lian'er is so beautiful, the Marquis will definitely like you!"
Ji Yonglian has inherited the true teachings of Aunt Zhang since she was a child, and the thing she is most proud of is that she snatched away her elder sister's good marriage!
Unfortunately, it is not easy to pass the test of the Marquis’ wife. Now that the Marquis’ wife has come to visit her in person, she is about to become the Crown Prince’s Consort!
The main gate of the Ji Mansion was wide open, and Aunt Zhang came out with a group of maids and old women to greet them. She had a warm smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth were almost reaching the sky.
"No wonder the magpies were calling non-stop this morning. It turns out we have distinguished guests visiting. Why don't you quickly ask the wife of Marquis Dingyuan to get out of the carriage? We will be relatives from now on, so we should visit each other more often."
Aunt Zhang deliberately amplified the sound, and everyone around heard it, and they couldn't help but talk about it.
"The Ji family's legitimate daughter's engagement was broken off in public, so where does this in-law thing come from?"
"You may not know this yet, but the Marquis's son has taken a fancy to the Ji family's second daughter. This marriage is most likely to go to the second daughter."
"A concubine's daughter is about to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix. This is truly a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes."
"Who says it's not? It's because Ji Yunhuan was so arrogant and domineering that he almost caused his concubine's sister to fall into the water and die. That's why the Marquis's son disliked him."
"I heard that Ji Yunhuan seduced a man outside her family and lost her virginity. A woman like this who is so fickle wouldn't be accepted by the Marquis' Mansion, not even a beggar would want her!"
"Tsk tsk tsk! Stop it, you're dirtying our ears."
Nanny Yan was furious! They say rumors can kill people, and she had witnessed it today.
She coldly watched a woman with a slender waist walking towards her, acting shyly and like a fairy. She was wearing good material, but unfortunately her temperament could not be suppressed. It looked like she had stolen someone else's clothes and jewelry, which made her look even more frivolous.
Next to the woman was a restless little girl, her eyes wandering around and her behavior frivolous. She must be the second daughter of the Ji family that everyone was talking about.
With just one glance, Nanny Yan could guess the dirty things going on in this mansion, and her eyes became even colder.
"Are you the mistress of the house? I don't think you are."
