Chapter 304: Support Her
The old lady and Nanny Li never imagined that things would turn out like this.
Old Madam Ji thought she had misheard. Lin Qingjun not only ruined Ji Wu's plan, but also turned the tables on her?
Nanny Li was so happy that she couldn't stop laughing. "I didn't expect our Crown Prince's Consort to be so capable. Now, let's see how this Madam will break it."
It would be fine if Ji Wu herself was known for her viciousness, but the bad thing was that she had three sons, and all three sons were of marriageable age. If her reputation got out, who would dare to marry her?
The Crown Prince's wife's counterattack was really good and brilliant. This time, their Crown Prince finally got rid of his anger.
"Madam, Madam, the bride has entered the inner hall. Please come and sit in the hall."
At this moment, the servant came to report again.
After crossing the fire basin and sprinkling the pomelo leaf water, doesn’t that mean we will get married at an auspicious time?
When the process reached this point, Ji Wu could not come up with any new tricks no matter what. In her opinion, Lin Qingjun would have been killed by her at the brazier long ago, and she had not designed this trick at all.
Ji Wu snorted coldly, "Mother, don't be so proud. Even if we got married, so what? Don't forget, we didn't invite many people to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion to watch the ceremony today."
All of Ji Chenchuan's marriage arrangements were decided by her, the mistress of the house, so she didn't invite many people to the ceremony or the wedding banquet. Firstly, she wanted to embarrass Ji Chenchuan, and secondly, she didn't have that much money on hand. She had already spent all the money in the public treasury.
Madam Ji looked at Ji Wu with a sharp look in her eyes. "Ji Wu, why aren't you afraid of retribution? You treat Chen Chuan like this now, aren't you afraid that your three sons will be treated the same way when they get married?"
Ji Wu was furious. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can my three sons compare to this sickly man? He's going to die, so why does he need such a grand wedding? There's no need to waste money. But my sons are different. They're going to live a hundred years, so naturally their weddings should be as grand and glorious as possible."
"Also, I'm going to leave this to you today. When my son gets married, you, my mother, will be responsible for all of his banquet expenses. This is how you, as a grandmother, show your love for your grandson."
Nanny Li was so angry that her face turned pale. "Madam, how dare you talk like that? Even if a grandmother loves her grandson, she can't pay for all the banquets. What would you, a mother, do then?"
Ji Wu snorted coldly, "I can't control that. Anyway, you have to leave. Okay, aren't we going out to watch the ceremony? I want to see how Ji Chenchuan can get married in this empty Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Hahaha, I want to make Ji Chenchuan a laughing stock in the entire Shangjing."
It would be a joke if no one watched the ceremony, and people would laugh at them for the rest of their lives.
Madam Ji was so angry that her chest ached. She blamed herself, "Why was I so foolish back then to let this evil woman take over the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion? I thought she wouldn't have the guts to tamper with Chenchuan's wedding banquet, but I didn't expect Nizi to be so bold."
Nanny Li comforted her, "Old Madam, this isn't your fault. You had no choice but to do this. Besides, it's not that you don't want to intervene, but that you simply can't."
In order to prevent the old lady from having such an idea, Ji Wu actually used the half letter as a threat. She had no other choice. The only thing she could do was to find a good marriage for the prince. Lin Qingjun becoming the prince's consort was the greatest effort the old lady could make.
Madam Ji gritted her teeth and said, "No, the power of the head of the family must be taken away from Wu, otherwise, Qingjun will suffer."
Nanny Li's eyes flickered slightly. "Don't panic, old lady. I think our Crown Prince's Consort is not someone to be trifled with. I have a feeling that the household expenses of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion will fall into the hands of the Crown Prince's Consort at least next year. Didn't you just hear the servant report that the Madam didn't let the Crown Prince's Consort in because of the household expenses?"
So, she thought this was a plan of the Crown Princess.
Nanny Li smiled and said, "Although I've only met the Crown Prince's Consort a few times, every time we meet, the impression she gives us becomes even more profound, and she always shocks us greatly. Especially at Xiangguo Temple, she held a knife to Ji Wu's neck. So, the Crown Prince's Consort will definitely not be afraid of the First Madam."
When Mrs. Ji heard this, her spirits perked up.
"You're right. How could the woman Chuan'er likes be simple? Fine, I won't interfere. However, I want to support Qingjun's waist today. Go and get my sword."
Nanny Li was startled. "Madam, are you talking about the one you used?"
Madam Ji nodded and said yes.
Nanny Li was shocked. That sword was the one the old lady had used to kill enemies in the past. It had been with her through life and death. When the old marquis wanted to touch it, the old lady rudely slapped him away, saying that you, a stinky man, were not allowed to touch it and that you should not tarnish the reputation of the sword. The prince also wanted to take a look at it, but she didn't let him either, saying that a child didn't want a sword. In this way, the sword was hidden by the old lady like a treasure for so many years.
But now, she actually took out the sword? Was she going to give it to the Crown Prince's wife?
She gasped, unable to believe it.
Madam Ji said with a serious expression, "Only in this way can our Wu'an Marquisate not suffer any loss to that girl."
Having said this, Nanny Li said nothing more and went to get it as ordered.
In today's situation, it is indeed the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion that has wronged the Crown Prince's Consort. How could someone be blocked outside the door before even entering? Today is the day when Ji's family is getting married, and there must be a lot of people gathered outside the gate. They must have seen the Crown Prince's Consort being bullied and embarrassed, but no one in the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion came out to help her.
The common people would certainly think that she was not valued by the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion and that they were making fun of her and watching her show.
The Crown Prince's Consort is just a seventeen-year-old girl who has never experienced anything. Now the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion has given her such difficulties in this important event of her life. What's the harm in the old lady giving her a broken sword?
Lin Qingjun never thought that she had obtained something that the old marquis and even Ji Chenchuan could not get without even entering the door or offering tea to the old lady.
Mrs. Ji came to the front hall. She originally thought she would see a few scattered people, but she saw the desolation at the wedding banquet.
But when she looked up, she saw that the place that should have been empty was crowded with people?
"What's going on? Why are there so many people? Didn't I send out any invitations?"
"Where's Madam Wu? Where has she gone? Hurry up and ask her to come out. I want to ask her what happened to her?"
The servant reported back with a pale face.
"Madam, Madam Wu is seriously injured, and her face is disfigured. I'm afraid she won't be able to come here."
Ji Wu's face darkened. "What on earth is going on?"
The servant was shocked. Hadn't she just reported it clearly? Hadn't she told Madam about Madam Wu's plight? Not only had she been thrown into the brazier, but the Crown Prince's Consort had stepped on her back to help her cross the brazier. And she had also been the one who had shielded the Crown Prince's Consort from the poisonous grapefruit water.
Therefore, the Crown Prince's wife was fine, but Nanny Wu was half dead.
When Ji Wu heard this, she finally realized that she had actually forgotten what the servant had reported in such a fit of anger that she only thought that Ji Chenchuan would also make a fool of himself at the banquet.
"Madam, what should we do? Should we kick them all out?
