Chapter 140: What on Earth Does Ji Chenchuan Want to Do?
You're welcome.
After all, they are working together.
He sent the eleventh prince back to the palace, and Concubine Ning secretly helped him advance Lin Yingxue's plan to marry the prince.
"Sir, the old lady invites you."
At this moment, Qingshan came to report.
Qingshan Lushui was a little worried. The matter had become so serious that the old lady couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
Besides, the old lady must have had some suspicions a long time ago, but she just wasn't sure.
Back when Xiao Yuan had caused such a commotion, the old lady had considered canceling the marriage, but it was the prince who had said to the old lady, "Perhaps things aren't what we thought," and "Perhaps there's a misunderstanding," and suppressed the matter. And now, Lin Yingxue had secretly hidden the man's jade pendant? The old lady had already been merciful enough not to bring people to destroy the Lin residence immediately, let alone tolerate Lin Zhi's visit.
The old lady is just old, not really confused. Although she was born into a military family, she has experienced so much and is no different from the old lady in the harem. She can see through other people's fickle minds clearly.
Therefore, the old lady now needs an explanation. Either she cancels the engagement and asks Lin Zhixie's daughter to come and apologize. Alternatively, she goes directly to the palace to meet the emperor, tells him about the grievances and humiliations she has suffered, and asks him to give her a fair and just punishment. The best thing is to directly dismiss Lin Zhi from his official position and send him back to his hometown in Yangcheng to be an ordinary citizen.
Only in this way can she relieve the hatred in her heart.
Don't say that such an action is too cruel and will ruin someone's future. You should know that the Ji Mansion is the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, which was finally obtained by several old marquises after going through ups and downs. How many people died in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, how much blood was shed, and how many achievements were made to achieve the prosperity it has today.
Now, there are not many people in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. The prince of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is sick, but he is not someone that can be bullied by a small Lin Mansion.
Moreover, if Lin Zhi had taught his daughter well, such a thing would not have happened. If anyone is to be blamed, it should be him, not anyone else.
Also, after the incident, not only did Lin Zhi not directly ask Lin Yingxue to admit her mistake, he also wanted to sweep the matter under the rug and let a concubine's daughter take the blame?
If anyone from the Lin family had the courage to take responsibility for their actions, and had readily admitted their mistakes since they were wrong, and had vowed never to have anything to do with the man they had an affair with, perhaps, considering that the Lin family had agreed to this marriage despite Ji Chenchuan's illness, they might have been able to show leniency and let the matter go.
But this behavior of covering up, putting the blame on others, and making a fool of them completely angered them.
Furthermore, Lin Zhi came not to apologize, but to find a way to stop the old lady from entering the palace.
When Mrs. Ji thought of this, her fingers clenched the cane tightly, and her fingertips turned white.
"...They still don't know where they went wrong, and they're still self-righteously covering up their mistakes and whitewashing the situation?"
She closed her eyes tightly, her expression filled with disappointment.
"We're getting married in a month or two. How could they do this?"
She was sad that they had gone too far.
When something like this happens at this time, it feels as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
Old Madam Ji opened her eyes again and looked at her incredibly handsome grandson. Her heart ached. She gently touched his black hair, her eyes full of love.
"Tell me, why does our Chuan'er have such a miserable life?"
Why is there no good woman who treats him sincerely? He is weak, but other than that, he is perfect. Moreover, he is not an immoral person.
As long as Lin Yingxue treats her grandson well and lets him feel the love of his wife during his lifetime, after Ji Chenchuan passes away, she will write a letter of divorce and give him most of the property in the marquis' mansion as a thank you for her care over the past few days.
In this way, Lin Yingxue can also gain a foothold in the Great Qi Kingdom and can choose a good husband to marry. If she does better, she can also use her military merits to give Lin Yingxue the title of county lady or lady, so that she can live a worry-free life in the second half of her life.
Once a woman was conferred the title of a county lady or lady, she would have an "official position". Everything earned in the county belonged to her, and her husband's family was not allowed to interfere or get involved in it. Moreover, she could use the title to buy a good life for her future children. For her, it was not a loss.
But why would she do this?
Madam Ji gritted her teeth and said, "No, we can't just let this go. Do they really think that there is no one left in our Wu'an Marquis Mansion?"
After the old lady said this, she was about to call over Nanny Li.
Ji Chenchuan quickly suppressed his emotion, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Grandma, don't be angry. We can't just let this go. However, now is not the best time."
"Besides, you didn't call me here for Lin Zhi, did you?"
His grandmother is so smart, she must have guessed that this matter is not simple.
To put it bluntly, when had Lin Yingxue's jade pendant not been discovered? Why did it happen to be discovered when Li Mama went to the Lin Mansion? Moreover, he had told Li Mama that he must see Lin Yingxue.
When Nanny Li saw the jade pendant, she finally understood why he asked her to do this.
Wasn't it that Nanny Li returned to Marquis Wu'an's mansion holding the jade pendant to make things bigger?
Madam Ji's expression finally relaxed a little.
"Yeah, it's not that simple to guess what happened, but I still don't understand what you're going to do."
Xiao Yuan forced his way into Marquis Wu'an's mansion and inexplicably pressured her to not cancel the engagement, saying there was some misunderstanding. He also gave her chestnut cake made by an unknown woman, and asked Lu Shui to accompany Nanny Li to deliver a birthday gift to Old Madam Qi. This made Nanny Li see the disgusting side of the Lin Mansion today.
She would never believe that all these things were coincidences.
So, what exactly does he want to do?
Ji Chenchuan's expression immediately turned serious, and he knelt down in front of her and kowtowed.
"Grandma, it's my fault. I lied to you and didn't tell you the truth. Moreover, I went around in circles. It's my fault."
He did not directly say that the person he was going to marry was Lin Qingjun, nor did he directly mention the matter of marriage exchange. It was he who made his grandmother spend so much time and energy guessing the thoughts of her grandson, causing her so much fatigue. It was his fault.
However, even if he had the chance to do it again, he would do the same, because he knew that his grandmother was very fond of this marriage. If he told her directly, she might not believe it. Not only that, she would also suspect that Lin Qingjun had used some seductive tricks. He didn't want Lin Qingjun to be suspected by his grandmother before she even entered the house, so he could only trouble his grandmother.
Ji Chenchuan said, "Grandma, I will accept any beatings or punishments you want, as long as you are not angry with me. Besides, I think I am also a bastard. I am so fearless because of your love for me, knowing that you will still forgive me in the end."
