Chapter 307: This Crown Prince’s Consort is Different
Lin Qingjun, you don't need any help.
She is a proud person.
Of course, if she really wanted to help, she would ask for help. She is not the kind of person who would suffer for the sake of face.
Zong Yuanji didn't believe it.
"She's just a woman. How can she possibly stand up to her elders? Not to mention that person is the current mistress of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion."
Zong Yuancheng didn't believe it either.
Even if he knew how powerful she was, he would never go to Madam Ji, not to mention that she was just a new bride.
She is a smart person. If she wants to take charge of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion in the future, this is definitely not the time to confront Madam Ji. She can only lie low and wait for the opportunity.
But the next moment, Lin Qingjun shattered all their fantasies.
"...I don't know how I offended my aunt, to have you targeting me like this?"
"...I thought that Madam Wu at the gate was simply a vicious slave, not what people outside said. It was you who ordered her to stop me from entering."
"... Could it be that my aunt is really blocking me because of the finances of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion? If that's the case, then you can continue to be in charge of the finances. I, I don't want to do it anymore, okay?"
Lin Qingjun didn't cry, but her choked tone, hesitation and stubbornness were more heartbreaking than crying.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ji Wu with strange eyes.
Ji Wu trembled all over and looked panicked.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm making things difficult for you because of the household expenses. I'm not that kind of person."
"Besides, we are talking about your wedding dress now, not the household affairs."
When Lin Qingjun heard this, his voice became lighter, as if he was relieved.
"Auntie, you really don't want to embarrass me, the new bride, just because of the household expenses? That's good. Then tomorrow, please return the household expenses to Linyuan Pavilion."
Bu.
When Ji Wu heard this, she spat out a mouthful of blood. When had she ever said she would hand over the household expenses? This bitch, what on earth was she talking about?
Not to mention that Ji Wu wanted to vomit blood, even the adults sitting here at the banquet felt like vomiting blood.
"This prince's consort seems different."
"Yes, what new bride would ask for money right away? She has no shame."
"But why do I think it's better for her to do this? If she doesn't say it now, is she going to wait until behind closed doors? What if Madam Ji refuses to admit it then? It's better to say it openly so that if she brings it up in the future, she won't regret it, right?"
"Yes, yes, that makes sense."
"This princess is quite intelligent."
Although these adults have never been in charge of the harem, they also know that some things seem better if they are brought to the table. Look, isn’t Madam Ji’s face ashen?
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji and Nanny Li nodded in appreciation and became even more satisfied with Lin Qingjun as the Crown Prince's Consort.
Lin Qingjun, with her veil on, knelt down properly towards Madam Ji.
"Now I will reply to my aunt. Although the material of this wedding dress may not be as good as others, it was made for me by my mother herself, stitch by stitch."
"A wedding dress may be worthless in the eyes of my aunt, but it is worth a fortune to me. As long as it is made by my mother, I will be very comfortable and happy wearing it, even if it is a tattered piece of clothing, let alone a dress made of poor material."
So, what she wore was not something fancy, but something that came from a mother's love for her daughter.
So, who dares to say that this wedding dress is bad now?
No one dares to say it, right?
Could it be that they would dislike the clothes made by their own mother?
Lin Qingjun laughed again.
All of you present here are high-ranking officials and have read the books of sages. If they dare to say a word about this, I believe that tomorrow the emperor will receive an impeachment letter from the censor on the throne.
As an important official in the court, he actually disrespected his own mother? No matter how high his official position was, he would still be criticized.
So, do they want to be criticized?
"pretty."
No one knew who in the crowd said this.
Everyone suddenly woke up and followed suit.
"I never thought that the new bride of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is actually such a filial person? She knew that her wedding dress wasn't very good, but she still wore it openly, and she wasn't afraid of other people's ridicule and contempt."
"Yes, poverty and humbleness cannot change one's character, and wealth and nobility can preserve one's original nature. Old Marquis, your grandson has married a good wife."
"Not bad, not bad. Besides, I think this wedding dress is no worse than others."
There was an endless stream of praise, some even saying that having such a daughter-in-law would benefit three generations in the future, and that the Wu'an Marquis Mansion would surely return to its peak in the near future.
Ji Wu's fingers were almost broken.
Why can the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion be saved just because this concubine's daughter comes? What are all her efforts over the years worth?
This Lin Qingjun didn't even show up, and just said a few nice words, but she received so much praise from them. What about her? Is she no good?
"You live..."
But before she could utter the word "kou", Ji Ziming covered her mouth.
"Mother, please stop talking. If you continue, I'm afraid your finances will be taken away by this person in front of you. Don't you see that those who came to the wedding today are more or less decent or neutral?"
There are no less than a hundred officials in the court. Although not all of them stand on the side of the prince, not all of them deny the prince.
Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at their faces one by one. Ji Chenchuan was really good at calculating. All the people he invited were beneficial to him.
"In other words, these court officials are not just here to drink in the wedding wine, but also to build momentum for our newly-appointed Crown Prince's Consort."
Mrs. Ji was about to say that this was impossible, but when she saw Ji Ziming's sharp eyes, she swallowed her words.
Mrs. Ji then realized that she seemed to have done something wrong and she panicked.
"Ziming, are you really going to let this bitch into this house? Ziming, you know that our eldest house cannot be without a household."
Ji Ziming said coldly, "Mother, how could I not know this? It's just that now is not the right time to be fussy about it. If I were you, I would probably make this wedding banquet a grand affair, and put an end to your vicious reputation."
There was disappointment in Ji Ziming's eyes. He thought his mother could do something, but he didn't expect it to be just this?
Oh, now she has ended up losing more than she gained.
Mrs. Ji was a very flexible person. She turned around and greeted people with a smile.
"Oh, how could I not know that the Crown Prince's Consort is a good person? I'm just curious. After all, my Wu'an Marquis Mansion is a big mansion. You dressed like this, and I thought you had something against my mansion."
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
"Is it the auspicious time? Then what are you waiting for? Get ready for the wedding ceremony!"
