Chapter 170 She had a bold guess
The old lady had finally seen her, how could she let her go away so easily?
Besides, she had something to say to her.
Lin Qingjun still refused Madam Ji's request to stay. She said that if they didn't return to the Lin Mansion, it would be bad.
They had been out for too long and were afraid that Qi and Lin Yingxue would find out, which would be bad if they used this as a raft.
But Old Lady Ji didn't think so. She directly ordered Qingshan to go back and continue to defend Qijun Courtyard. If anyone dared to trespass, he would kill them. If the Lin family really wanted to investigate, they would push the matter to her.
Madam Ji snorted coldly, "Lin Zhi wouldn't dare to fart."
Lin Zhi has done so many disgusting things to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. She cannot let go of the fact that he made her grandson sick. If Lin Qingjun was not still in the Lin Mansion, she would have turned his mansion upside down sooner or later.
Qingshan accepted the order and left.
Seeing this, Lin Qingjun no longer had any reason to refuse and could only stay for the time being.
Old Madam Ji took the mother and daughter back into the house and asked Lushui and Ji Ziqi to guard outside.
The three of them sat down in order of priority. It was already late at night, but having just experienced such a fierce battle, no one was sleepy and their spirits were still tense.
Madam Ji first apologized to Aunt Liu.
"This incident was caused by me. I have implicated you, Liu. I should apologize. If you have any wishes in the future, please tell me and I will definitely help you realize them."
This is a repayment and also gratitude. This is what her Wu'an Marquis Mansion owes her.
Aunt Liu was about to say no, but was suppressed by Madam Ji's gaze.
Then, Madam Ji looked at Lin Qingjun, and the next words were the most important.
Madam Ji opened her mouth and said, "Second Miss Lin, I might as well tell you why you have ended up like this today."
"That Ji Wu is obviously just my daughter-in-law, and Ji Guitian is just a concubine's son. Logically, I shouldn't be doing this anyway."
etc.
Lin Qingjun called out.
"Old Madam, this is your Wu'an Marquis's family affair, and there is no need to tell me and my aunt."
Moreover, she had no intention of finding out what was going on in the rear quarters of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion.
Madam Ji smiled and raised her hand to suppress her. "No, you have to listen, and you must listen. Besides, this is also my explanation to your aunt. I want to tell her that I didn't mean to involve her."
Old Madam Ji also became more and more satisfied with Lin Qingjun.
If any other young lady heard about such things in the harem, she would have some curiosity, but Lin Qingjun was the first one who didn't want to listen. This also showed that she was a person with pure heart.
But she had to listen to this. After all, she was going to marry into the family, and she couldn't enter the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion without knowing anything, right? She didn't want to be manipulated and deceived by Ji Wu when she married into the family.
She went on to say that the finances of her Wu'an Marquis Mansion were managed by the Wu family. Logically speaking, these finances should either be in her hands or in the hands of the third legitimate wife, and definitely not in the hands of Ji Guitian and others.
But the fact is, it is in the hands of Ji Guitian's family.
"It's not that my Wu'an Marquis Mansion is unclear, but it's actually that he has a secret in my Wu'an Marquis Mansion in his hands."
What?
When Lin Qingjun and Liu heard this, their expressions suddenly changed.
Madam Ji chuckled, "Isn't this incredible? But it's also true. Also, this matter already existed with Ji Guitian's mother."
Only she and the deceased old marquis knew about this.
That happened many years ago, dating back to when the old marquis was young.
Madam Ji said, "At that time, the old marquis was recuperating from his injuries, and that woman took advantage of this opportunity to climb onto his bed..."
Lin Qingjun's mouth twitched when she heard this. What was wrong with this old lady? How could she say such a thing without any courtesy? Wasn't she afraid of losing face for the old marquis?
Even Qi kept the matter of bed-climbing a secret, as it was not something glorious to do. But what about the old lady now?
Madam Ji continued as if she hadn't noticed.
"It's just that my husband didn't let her succeed in the end. When we found out, he was tightly holding his belt and retreating to the end of the bed. No matter what the woman did, he never let go."
Her thoughts drifted away. When she rushed over after hearing the news, he hugged her and cried bitterly. He said, it was a close call, his innocence was still there.
Originally, they could have killed the woman directly, but when she took out half of the letter, they stopped.
Madam Ji withdrew her thoughts.
It was really fate that had to play tricks on them. Because of this half letter, they had no choice but to acknowledge that woman and Ji Guitian. Until now, Ji Guitian was still holding the other half of the letter and was bullying the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. He even took away the mansion's food supplies.
They could only swallow their anger at this, but if one day they got back the remaining half of the letter, Ji Guitian and the others would have no chance of survival.
Lin Qingjun frowned.
She really didn't know about this. Even though she had some doubts in her previous life about the fact that the finances of the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion were in the hands of a concubine, she was not a meddlesome person, so she didn't delve into it. Besides, this was a matter of the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion's rear house, so how could she, a mere Madam Xiao, take care of it?
But after listening to it today, the doubts from the previous life were resolved and everything made sense.
Lin Qingjun pondered, and suddenly a bold guess came to her mind.
"Madam, does this half letter have anything to do with what's above?"
She pointed her finger to the sky, indicating that it was the royal family of the Great Qi Kingdom, Zong Yuan clan. Is it about the royal family?
When Madam Ji and Nanny Li heard this, they looked at each other in shock.
Lin Qingjun is really smart. She only said a little bit, but she was able to accurately guess that the letter was about the Zongyuan royal family?
"That's right, but, you, how did you guess it?"
She thought that her grandson Ji Chenchuan was the only smart person in the world. She had hinted at this matter a little bit back then, but he was able to guess it accurately. Now, Lin Qingjun is as smart as her grandson.
Lin Qingjun smiled and said, "This is actually not difficult to guess."
"The Wu'an Marquisate is the most loyal in the entire Great Qi Nation. It has been around for at least a hundred years and has had four or five marquises."
"But no matter how things go up and down in the Wu'an Marquisate, their true love remains unchanged."
The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion had experienced decline, prosperity, and demotion. Even the entire mansion was imprisoned, and some were even exiled and hunted down. Of course, it was also prosperous during its times, and even became the emperor's only close minister.
"I believe that no matter what the Wu'an Marquisate is like now, its loyalty to the Great Qi Kingdom and the royal family remains unchanged."
"And being able to make the old marquis recognize this woman and that bastard is enough to make Ji Wu dare to risk the world's disapproval to kill you today."
"It can only be because of the royal family."
