Chapter 215: Explanation
Now, not only is she being laughed at by the noble ladies in the capital, but she also has to worry about being accused of having ulterior motives and of going back to her ex.
Since my father asked me to go there first, doesn’t that mean he suspects me of being a suspect?
Damn it!
Who on earth wants to harm her? If Ji Baozhu were to catch that person, she would definitely not let him off easily!
No matter what the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion thinks, since the young lady and her husband are coming back to visit, the Marquis' Mansion must naturally treat them well and cannot lose face.
Ji Zhisui stretched out his hand and placed it on Pei Yian's palm. Looking at the majestic Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in front of him, all the memories hidden in his mind emerged.
Life in the Marquis' Mansion was not easy. If she hadn't had Nanny Luo to protect her, her life would have been even more difficult. This also made Ji Zhisui want to take her out even more strongly.
As for the blood relationship with the Ji family, there is not much. The original body was married off and exiled, which was almost enough. If they want to morally blackmail her, they are really on the wrong track.
When Ji Zhisui was lost in thought, Pei Yian pinched the soft, boneless little hand in his hand, with a soothing look.
Ji Zhisui smiled at the man, not wanting him to worry too much about him, "Brother An, let's go in!"
When the servant saw the distinguished guest coming, he hurried to inform the Marquis, and Marquis Ji and his wife went out to greet him.
Seeing Ji Zhisui, the Marquis's wife stepped forward and affectionately took his arm, "Sui Niang, you are finally back."
"Mother." Ji Zhisui's voice was calm, without much enthusiasm, and there was nothing wrong with his face, but privately he moved his hand away without a sound.
This marquis' wife was not a kind person. She was extremely disgusted with illegitimate sons and daughters. She used Nanny Luo as a threat to force the original person to marry in her place.
The expression on the Marquis's wife's face froze. She didn't expect this girl to be so bold. But when she thought about it, she was the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, and her status was even one level higher than hers. In addition, Pei Yian was there, so it was understandable that she would be so arrogant.
But she couldn't get over it in her heart. She was a concubine who should have been humble and submissive to her, but now she dared to act arrogantly in front of him.
However, she had not forgotten the Marquis's repeated warnings last night, and could only obey Ji Zhisui and please her.
The men were talking about something. Madam Hou wanted to take Ji Zhisui away, but was stopped by Pei Yian.
"My Lord, my wife and I have something important to discuss with you." Pei Yian had been paying attention to the direction where Ji Zhisui was. Knowing that she was unwilling, he spoke directly.
The Marquis's wife's face was now even uglier. All of them were insulting her. She had never been treated like this before, but she could only grit her teeth and endure the anger in her heart.
After glancing at the Marquis who completely ignored her, the Marquis's wife left with a forced smile on her face.
Ji Baozhu only saw her mother and was a little confused: "Mom, where is that person?"
"She has grown powerful and won't listen to me." The Marquis's wife said unhappily. She wanted to act like a legitimate mother and let Ji Zhisui know the rules, after all, she was a daughter of the Ji family.
But this method is fundamentally dead.
Ji Baozhu bit her lips in dissatisfaction. She had to meet the concubine's daughter and her ex-fiancé today.
In the study, Pei Yian got straight to the point and handed the evidence he had found to Lord Ji. "Lord, many people in the capital have misunderstood my wife. Tell me, how do we resolve this matter?"
Lord Ji looked at the evidence in his hand, broke out in a cold sweat, and was extremely frightened. He never thought that it was really someone from their house who did it.
The other party was just an ordinary servant in the Marquis' Mansion, and it was unknown who ordered him to do so. When he was about to ask the housekeeper to find the man, Pei Yian clapped his hands, and saw Pei Liu coming to them with the servant tied up.
After doing something like this, how could Xiao Si dare to stay? He planned to pack up and run away early, but he could not escape Pei Yian's range.
"Tell me, who ordered you to do all these things?" Lord Ji was in a high position and had an overwhelming aura.
The servant was trembling all over. Ever since he was caught, he knew that he was doomed. Now facing the Marquis, he dared not continue to hide the truth and directly revealed the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Yes... Miss Wu asked me to do this..."
This answer also surprised Lord Ji. He didn't expect that the person behind the scenes would be his fifth daughter who was always obedient and well-behaved.
If you have the guts to cause trouble, you will have to bear the consequences.
Lord Ji had originally intended to give these two people an explanation.
When Ji Xinya was called to the study, she felt uneasy and always felt as if something was about to get out of control.
This... how is it possible? The man himself asked him to leave early, so they definitely can't find any evidence against him.
But Ji Xinya was still feeling uneasy, and she felt that the way to her father's study was extremely difficult.
Even though the journey was difficult, she finally reached the outside of the study.
Ji Baozhu watched Ji Xinya walk towards the study with a grim expression on her face. Her mind raced, and she seemed to be able to decipher something from this.
Could it be that all the ups and downs in the capital were Ji Xinya's doing? Great! After pretending for so long, is the fox's tail finally going to show up?
There was a dark light in Ji Baozhu's eyes. Anyone who dared to plot against her would never have a good ending!
After seeing the scene in the study, especially the kneeling servant, Ji Xinya, who was hoping for a lucky break, lost all color on her already pale face.
All her plans and calculations were discovered, and her father's face was so ugly that he would definitely not let her go easily!
"Rebellious girl, kneel down!" Lord Ji shouted.
Ji Zhisui looked at his fifth sister who was kneeling on the floor. This sister had caused him a lot of trouble in the past.
In order to show his attitude, Lord Ji punished Ji Xinya severely. In addition to being beaten with a stick, she was also sent to a remote farm.
He glanced at Pei Yian, wanting to see if he was satisfied. Although the man showed no emotion, Lord Ji knew it was not enough.
That feeling of dissatisfaction seemed to be directed at oneself.
In order to verify this conjecture, Lord Ji proposed to give Ji Zhisui a lot of compensation. When he saw the man's handsome eyebrows raised, he knew that this was the right move.
"Lord Ji, since the marriage contract states that Sui Niang is marrying me, please explain clearly. I don't want to hear anything bad about my wife."
"Yes, yes, yes." Lord Ji wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, not daring to be negligent at all.
In the end, when Pei Yian took his men away, he extorted a lot of good things from Lord Ji, including Nanny Luo's indenture contract. Ji Zhisui was a little confused at first, but when he thought that this man was seeking justice for him, he felt a little sweet in his heart.
