Chapter 182 This Overwhelming Wealth
Did Qi really think that she held a high position in Lin Zhi's heart?
Did she really think that Lin Zhi only had one woman, his concubine, and her, his concubine's daughter?
She probably never imagined that just outside the house, in an alley not far from here, right under her nose, there was a person who shocked her, right?
That Qin should have a son and a daughter by now, and judging by the ages of the children, Lin Zhi must have done something wrong to her as early as three years ago.
The funny thing is, she only had her eyes on Qijunyuan? Didn't she know the bad nature of men? Didn't she know that men have always been fickle and obsessed with beauty?
The so-called "one couple for a lifetime" is totally false. Even the most popular novels in the capital don't dare to write like that.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingjun had a sneer on his face.
Love is the most useless thing in this world.
But for some reason, Ji Chenchuan's aggrieved expression suddenly appeared in her mind.
She frowned, threw away the unimportant things, and quickened her movements.
She wanted to finish this last piece of embroidery so that she could go to Qianzi Pavilion tomorrow and visit her father's other "aunt".
Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Ji Guitian took Ji Wu and knelt outside Jinghe Hall, begging for the old lady's forgiveness.
Ji Guitian said that Ji Wu did not do it on purpose. She was drugged at the time and she had no idea what she was doing.
Ji Wu also cooperated and said that she had no memory of what happened in Xiangguo Temple. She also said miserably that her head hurt and she could not remember anything.
Even Ji Ziming was alarmed by this incident. He knelt down with them, begging the old lady to spare his parents for the sake of her grandson.
But at the same time, he also secretly blamed Ji Wu for not being efficient. If he wanted to kill someone, he should just kill him directly and efficiently. He should act quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, leaving no trace and giving no one a handle.
Now, the person is not dead, but their eldest wife is charged with the crime of matricide?
It would be fine if the two of them died, but he was a favorite of the prince and would be a close minister to the prince in the future. If people knew that he had parents who killed their mother, would he still have a career in the officialdom?
Really, so stupid.
But now that the incident has happened, blaming this or that will be of no use. I can only shamelessly come here to plead for them, hoping that the old lady can calm down and not pursue the matter any further.
Besides, isn't she fine now? Why is she blaming others like this?
Ji Chenchuan saw through Ji Ziming's thoughts at a glance, and he became even angrier.
"Grandma, it seems that they still don't know their mistakes."
It's really disheartening. Can we just pretend nothing happened just because no one is hurt?
This is a matter of life and death. If anything happens to my grandmother, she will die. What should I do then?
The old lady also sighed, "I thought Ji Ziming was a good person. Although he was ambitious and resourceful, it seems that he is just like his parents."
She still remembered that when Ji Ziming was young, he was just like Ji Chenchuan, and he used all kinds of ways to make his grandmother happy.
She had grievances against Ji Guitian and Ji Wu, and sometimes she wanted to kill them, but one thing at a time, she would never take these emotions out on Ji Ziming. The grudges of the previous generation belonged to the previous generation, and she knew the difference.
But since when did he change?
Where did the soft and sticky person who raised her little hand and asked her grandmother if she wanted some cakes go?
Ji Chenchuan thoughtfully brought a cup of warm tea.
"Grandma, the most unreliable thing in this world is the human heart."
As the saying goes, human hearts are unpredictable.
Moreover, he may be good when he is young, but who can say that he will still be a good person when he grows up? People change.
"Don't worry about such a person. It's not worth it."
"And this is his own choice, no one else can be blamed."
It was his own choice as to what kind of person he would grow up to be. Although he was the offspring of a concubine's family and the child of Ji Guitian and Ji Wu, his grandmother did not neglect him because of this. She still gave him everything he deserved, including the tutors she hired, all of whom were famous teachers in the country of Daqi.
He went with him to study and teach.
What's more, he went to Qingyun Mountain when he was five years old, but even so, his grandmother did not change the teacher and still let him teach Ji Ziming and others in this mansion.
If the teacher has both good character and knowledge, how bad can the moral character of the students taught by such a teacher be?
Can.
Ji Ziming is absolutely bad.
Madam Ji nodded. "That's true. People's hearts are hard to predict. Even though we did so much to get him on the right path, he didn't cherish it. Now, who can we blame?"
"Chuan'er, just do what you need to do. Don't worry about me."
"Besides, I don't want to be a burden to you."
She no longer cared about him, picked up the tea and drank it slowly. A warm current flowed through her throat, dispelling the coldness.
She has done her best for Ji Ziming.
With Ji Chenchuan's temper, he will definitely not let Ji Ziming and his family go.
Ji Chenchuan nodded in agreement.
Then he turned around and told Qingshan Lushui to do the job.
Old Madam Ji knew that Ji Chenchuan would be ruthless, but she didn't expect him to be so cruel.
He ordered Qingshan Lushui to take back half of the shop from Ji Guitian with his prince's token, and then revealed what happened in Xiangguo Temple to Ji Wu's maternal family, especially her stepmother, and promised Mrs. Wu to find a good job for the eldest son of the Wu family.
In other words, for Ji Guitian, he would lose half of his money and management power directly. For Ji Wu, he would cut off the source of her wealth directly and use Madam Wu, whom she feared the most, to torture her. Even if she didn't die, she would be severely punished.
Finally, where is Ji Ziming...
Ji Chenchuan thought for a moment and said, "Aren't there two official positions that are going to be vacant recently? Go tell the Eleventh Prince that he can arrange for people to fill those two positions."
Old Madam Ji was slightly stunned, as she knew those two official positions.
"Although one is of the sixth rank and the other is only of the eighth rank, both of these positions carry real power."
For example, a salt inspector is only of the eighth rank, but it is a real and lucrative job. Salt was originally public property, and the salt inspector's job is to inspect the various cities in the Great Qi Kingdom to see if anyone is selling private salt, whether there is collusion between officials and businessmen, and whether there is embezzlement of silver.
Therefore, those with high ranks do not necessarily have real power; there are also those with sinecures. Those with low ranks are not necessarily really low. It depends on the official position and the role played.
However, the salt inspector cannot be assigned to anyone at random. This requires a direct relative of the nobles to be qualified for the job, because of his noble status. Therefore, when he goes down, no one can control him, and the salt inspection will be smooth.
Although the Wu family was not a large noble family, it was much better than the Qi family. Moreover, the eldest son Wu was also a talented person, having passed the imperial examination last year.
Ji Chenchuan gave this real power to Mr. Wu, so how could Mrs. Wu not accept this immense wealth?
"Chuan'er, why do I feel like you've changed?"
Madam Ji finally said slowly.
