Chapter 257: The farce is getting more dramatic
Hearing these discussions, Chen finally reacted.
He yelled at the people who had come to watch the fun, "What are you looking at, you bunch of troublemakers? Get out of here now!"
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 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 was emanating from the carriage.
Chen hesitated for a moment, then grabbed a maid's wrist and ordered her forcefully, "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 in confusion: "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, "Yes...I specifically asked someone to spread the news."
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan widened his eyes in surprise.
It seemed as if he couldn't believe that Chen would do such a stupid thing.
He couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "Mother! The Ji family has been pushed to the forefront because of the palace banquet. Now that father has been released with great difficulty, he should be humble and self-restrained. Mother, you are making such a fuss. Do you think His Majesty doesn't hate the Ji family enough?"
There was obvious dissatisfaction and blame in Ji Yunchuan's voice.
Chen was choked by her son's words and felt aggrieved. Her eyes instantly turned red. "Since your father was arrested and thrown into prison, how many people have laughed at the Ji family behind our backs? The other day, Duke Wei's mansion held a banquet, and those women who used to have a grudge against me came in groups to ridicule me. I just wanted to show these people that our Ji family has not been despised by His Majesty!"
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan felt his temples throbbing.
I thought to myself that the situation at this moment was truly 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 his bad luck. He just stepped out of the gate of the prison and got on this stinking carriage the next moment."
"That's right. The Ji family specially sent someone to pick up Lord Ji, but he took 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 left 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 corners 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 outward composure, but in his heart he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Finally, Ji Yunchuan raised his head, and his gloomy eyes swept across the crowd, finally falling on Shen Ningyuan.
She crossed her arms, still with a playful smile on her face, and looked at him leisurely.
Facing Ji Yunchuan's resentful gaze, Shen Ningyuan's phoenix eyes slightly raised, eyes full of provocation.
Her red lips moved slightly and she uttered a few words silently.
When he realized what Shen Ningyuan said, Ji Yunchuan's face instantly turned red, and the murderous intent in his eyes became 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 dodged it with his quick eyes and hands.
Yi Ge didn't hesitate at all and pulled open the curtain of the carriage!
Then, those in the crowd who were trying to look around looked in the direction of the carriage curtain that Yi Ge had opened—
Then they 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 even shouted, "Master Ji... has been vomited all over!"
Then, Shen Ningyuan also came over with a concerned look on her face 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 pale.
Just as he was about to speak up to refute, Chen beside him hurried forward.
With a fierce look, she scolded: "Chen Ningyuan, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you slander your husband out of thin air?"
