Chapter 377: That Emperor Is Not a Good Person
Madam Ji found Concubine Ning as quickly as possible.
Concubine Ning was slightly startled.
She thought that it would be Ji Chenchuan and Lin Qingjun who would come this time. She and Cheng'er had made plans. He would be responsible for luring them over, and she would show weakness according to the plan first, and then kill them when they were not paying attention.
Cheng'er said that the throne was important, but killing them was more important than the throne. He said that it was Xiao Yuan who said that as long as he was there, people like them would never be able to stand out, and that the man surnamed Xiao also showed them what Ji Chenchuan had done in another world.
Xiao Yuan said that if he didn't know Ji Chenchuan's location, he would have thought that Ji Chenchuan was the male protagonist.
Although she didn't know what they were talking about the male protagonist and the villain, she would definitely not show mercy as long as it involved her son.
"... Concubine Ning, please come with me. Don't stay here any longer. That emperor is not a good person."
As soon as Mrs. Ji came up, she grabbed her wrist, her eyes full of strange sympathy.
She was about to ask if she was crazy, but she saw her put a letter, no, half a letter in her hand tremblingly.
She was even more confused and wanted to throw the letter away. She had never had any interaction with Old Madam Ji and they had not even met each other a few times. With her expression and the inexplicable letter, she naturally didn't want it. After all, no one could be nice to her for no reason, right?
Madam Ji grabbed it and said, "Look at it first. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Not only because I have no reason to hurt you, but also because I don't want anyone else to get hurt."
Even though Concubine Ning was moved, she still didn't believe it until Madam Ji said something.
"Haven't you always wanted to avenge your elder sister? Then, do you know why your elder sister died?"
Concubine Ning's face suddenly turned pale.
Before Madam Ji could say anything more, Liu hurried over and told her, "Madam, it's done. Ji Guitian and Ji Wu will both die."
When Mrs. Ji heard this, she smiled with satisfaction, but she was still unhappy.
"I was held captive by them for twenty years, but today, after their death, I don't feel refreshed or happy. Alas."
Liu said, "Old Madam, you are kind-hearted. You don't want anything to happen to Chen Chuan. Otherwise, with your methods, why would you have waited until today? Plus, with this half letter, you wouldn't dare to act rashly, right?"
People of great benevolence and righteousness are always restrained, but they never regret what they did. If she had the chance to do it again, I'm afraid the old lady would still do the same thing.
After all, compared to a small Wu'an Marquis Mansion, the entire Daqi Kingdom is the most important.
Liu continued, "I just delivered the medicine, and they understood what had happened. Before they died, they begged the old lady to spare their son's life, saying that their sins should not befall them."
Ji Guitian and Ji Wushi were not good people. They only thought about themselves in the past, but they were still parents after all. When they realized that they could not escape, they finally aroused that little bit of love for their children.
Madam Ji sneered, "What kind of affection do they have? If they had even a little bit of love for their son, they wouldn't have come to this point. They know I'm not a heartless person and can tolerate the existence of a concubine's eldest son, so naturally I wouldn't take their lives. If they had stayed quietly in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, Chen Chuan would have inherited the title of Marquis, and naturally I could have protected their entire family. But they chose to take this step?"
When everyone heard this, they fell silent.
Who says it’s not?
Madam Ji said to Liu, "Go to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion and keep watch for me. Also, don't let anyone out, especially my second son."
She had only two sons, one was Ji Guiyan, the father of Ji Chenchuan, and the other was Ji Guining, the father of Ji Ziqi and Ji Ziran.
Liu originally wanted to follow, but she knew very well that what was going to happen next was not something she, a little concubine, could do, so she could only obey the order and return to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion.
But Liu was one step too late. Ji Guining had already left the house and disappeared without a trace.
Ji Ziqi's eyes were red and she was anxious. Liu came forward to comfort her, "It's okay. The Wu'an Marquis's family is loyal and will be protected by God."
Ji Ziqi nodded. "I just hope my brother and father are safe. Oh no, I hope all of us are safe."
Ji Ziran was taken to a place by Ji Guining, and Ji Ziran was full of resentment.
Ji Guining said calmly, "I know you don't want to recognize me as your father. I haven't shown much love and care for you since you were born. Also, I can't even afford ten taels of silver to buy you books. It's my fault."
"But don't hold on to your grudge for too long. I'll soon disappear from your sight."
"It was me. My momentary pampering harmed your second uncle, caused Chenchuan to lose his parents at a young age and become sickly, and caused you and Ziqi to have no complete family. I also caused the Wu'an Marquisate to be controlled by a bastard's eldest son for more than twenty years."
"I am the one who deserves to die the most."
"But fortunately, Chenchuan has a beloved woman and has started a family. You and Ziqi have grown up, and you have become a handsome man. I don't have anything to worry about anymore."
"...Also, the place we are going to today may very likely lead to death. Ji Ziran, are you afraid?"
Ji Ziran was slightly stunned. Today's events had already made him feel strange. His father, who had never asked him about him and never asked him to go out with him, now said so many words and finally asked him if he was afraid.
He originally didn't want to pay attention to it, but for some reason, he straightened his chest.
"Of course I'm not afraid. I'm Ji Ziran, and I'm not afraid of anyone."
When Ji Guining heard this, he turned his head to look at his son who looked about 50% to 60% like him, and now with his back straightened, he looked about 80% like him, and smiled.
"Okay, this is my son, Ji Guining. In that case, let's go."
After saying that, he walked forward without looking back.
At this time, Ji Chenchuan and Lin Qingjun found Concubine Ning, but they did not expect that Old Madam Ji was also here.
Madam Ji sent Concubine Ning over.
"I know you don't want me to go in, nor do you want me to get involved. I've already brought the people here for you. You guys take care of the rest."
She looked at her grandson and granddaughter-in-law in front of her, her eyes full of pride.
"You have grown up, and I have grown old. Among the younger generation, you two are considered the best."
"Also, don't let us down, and don't let the people of Daqi down."
"If you two never come back, I won't be sad. I will go with Liu to a place where no one knows us, and then adopt a few talented children, give them the surname Ji, and let them continue to follow the path of my Ji Mansion and continue to let them protect this Great Qi Kingdom."
"Go, children, and do your things, and do not worry about us."
She was at the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, waiting for news from them, whether good or bad.
