"Please sit down. Don't be shy. I have prepared some desserts that young people like."
Mrs. Ji's calmness and kindness made Shen Mingzhu feel warm in her heart.
"How are you feeling lately? I saw you taking medicine last time, but I didn't dare ask more."
"But Chinese medicine is also magical. So many herbs are mixed together, and the herbs used to make the medicine are similar. It's easy to get confused. I've had this happen before. I had two herbs that were very similar, but had opposite effects. We still have to be cautious in this regard."
Shen Mingzhu didn't know that Ji Ci had already made preparations through her inner voice.
She just wanted to remind the old lady, but was afraid that if she said too much she would offend her.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a sharp mocking voice, "Shen Mingzhu, what do you know? Only a stupid person like you would make such a mistake!"
"How could a normal person not be able to tell the difference between medicinal herbs?"
"Ms. Ji, I just think we should be careful and cautious. After all, unless you are a professional in Chinese medicine, most people can't tell the subtle differences."
"I think you just want to make grandma worry. How can you be so vicious!"
"Xiaoyuan!" Old Madam Ji got a headache when she saw Ji Yuan in such a state.
"Mingzhu just meant it as a kind reminder, why did you say it became malicious?"
Ji Yuan couldn't believe that the old lady was helping Shen Mingzhu so much, even though she was her granddaughter.
"Shen Mingzhu has bad intentions. Last time, because she asked a few extra questions, my cousin actually asked Aunt Zhang to leave the Ji family."
"Aunt Zhang has been in the Ji family for so many years without any mistakes. She has made contributions but has also worked hard. She has also watched me grow up. Why should we dismiss her just because of the instigation of an outsider?"
"Didn't Aunt Zhang take a few days off?" Old Madam Ji had indeed not seen her for several days, and the medicine during this period was brought to her by the housekeeper.
"Cousin, didn't you tell you the truth? Shen Mingzhu dared to do such a thing to the old man of the Ji family before she even married in. If she really married in, what kind of chaos would the Ji family be in?"
Shen Mingzhu didn't expect that Aunt Zhang would actually leave.
She herself didn't know if it was Aunt Zhang who made the move, but Ji Ci actually took action so quickly.
Could it be that Ji Ci listened to her reminder and put it into practice?
That's impossible, it must be a coincidence.
"Grandma, my cousin is so confused. He didn't even check the situation clearly. I don't know what kind of magic potion Shen Mingzhu gave him. She fired two servants yesterday because of her!"
"Yesterday? What happened?" Old Madam Ji immediately grasped the key point.
"Yeah, I also want to know what happened yesterday. President Ji actually fired the servants for me?" Shen Mingzhu looked like she was watching a show.
When she spoke, she emphasized the three words "for me".
Ji Yuan's face turned pale, and she blurted out this in a rush.
The reason for dismissing the servant must not be told, otherwise if Madam Ji knew that she treated Shen Mingzhu like this, she would definitely be punished.
"Miss Ji, why are you silent? It's impossible to dismiss a servant without a reason. Do you want to make it clear here, so that I won't be slandered as a beauty who brings disaster to President Ji!"
Ji Yuan glared at Shen Mingzhu fiercely, but didn't know what excuse to make.
"Xiaoyuan, what's going on?" Old Madam Ji probably understood that the truth behind this might be that Shen Mingzhu did not come yesterday.
"Grandma, I've already taken care of this matter. The details are not important."
Ji Ci's appearance at this time was like a savior to Ji Yuan.
She felt proud in her heart that her cousin still protected her.
In fact, Ji Ci just didn't want his grandma to worry about these little things.
"Tsk, that's boring. Ji Yuan is indeed Ji Ci's cousin. She's actually covering for her!"
Of course Shen Mingzhu also noticed Ji Yuan's pride, but she turned her face away and didn't look at them.
"I was actually locked up for four hours, but in their eyes it was nothing!"
"As expected, they are all in the same group, all have evil hearts. It's right that Ji Ci can only sit in a wheelchair and be cuckolded by the heroine again and again."
Ji Ci touched his nose. He shouldn’t be so miserable, right?
Old Madam Ji took in all the changes in the three people, then gently took Shen Mingzhu's hand.
"Ji Yuan, do you want to tell me yourself or should I investigate?"
Ji Yuan's eyes were vague and she looked at Ji Ci for help.
"Don't look at him. He won't help you. He just doesn't want me to worry about it. He doesn't want to cover up for you."
"Well, it's not a big deal. I just wanted to teach Shen Mingzhu a lesson. I didn't mean to hurt her. Look, isn't she intact now?"
Shen Mingzhu was speechless and wanted to laugh, "That sounds nice, but you locked me in the utility room for four hours. If Ji Ci doesn't come, are you going to wait until I die before opening the door?"
"No! I'll just be locked up for a few hours, that's not a big deal!"
"Asshole! How did your parents educate you? Who gave you the right?"
"Anyway, even if Shen Mingzhu sue me, it won't meet the standards for filing a case!" Ji Yuan was right but still felt strong.
"And it's just a small matter, does she care about it?"
Madam Ji turned her gaze to Ji Ci, "How do you think we should deal with this?"
"I was thinking that if you didn't know, I would deal with her according to family rules. However, since she is so unrepentant, why not let the victim decide for herself?"
Ji Yuan's face turned pale when she heard about the family punishment. She didn't want it!
Madam Ji looked at Shen Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, what do you think?"
"Excuse me, what are your family rules?"
"Butler, go and ask for the family rules."
The butler left the room quickly.
Ji Yuan fell to the ground and crawled on all fours to Madam Ji's feet.
"Grandma, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please let me go..."
"It's no use begging me, you should beg Mingzhu."
Ji Yuan sat on the ground and cried, "Why? What right does she have to deal with me? She is just an outsider!"
At this time, the butler came over with an antique wooden box.
Open the box and there is a soft whip inside.
Ji Yuan saw this and shook her head and stepped back.
When she was little, she was jealous of a girl and took her to the lake near her home and pushed her into the lake.
Then he was given family discipline.
That seemingly inconspicuous soft whip will not leave scars when it hits the body, but it will hurt.
And every head of the family will learn how to use the whip.
It is guaranteed that the person who is punished by the family law will suffer great pain but will not suffer any wounds.
In this case, even if you go to the hospital for examination, it will only be considered a minor injury.
This is also a craft passed down by the ancestors of the Ji family.
Shen Mingzhu looked at Ji Yuan's resistance and she probably knew the power of this family rule.
She glared at Ji Ci, "Good fellow, you are such a vicious male protagonist, saying that you will let the victim decide."
"If I really let Ji Yuan suffer the punishment of the family, that guy will beat me to death later!"
"You said it so nicely, but in fact you want me to be the bad guy!"
Ji Ci seemed a little innocent, he didn’t think too much about it.
Shen Mingzhu dragged out her voice, "Then——"
