Ji Suzhi laughed at herself: "I have never been raised by my mother, so naturally I have fewer rules than other girls. Isn't this what my mother has always expected?"
Bang! Ji's mother seemed to have been hit in a sore spot and slapped her hard.
"It seems that you are really ambitious and have forgotten the rules. You should reflect on yourself at home in the next few days." Ji's mother said sternly: "Madam Zhang, take the young lady back to her room and teach her the rules in the yard in the next few days. She must not leave the yard until she has learned them well."
Aunt Zhang glanced at Mother Ji hesitantly and said in a low voice, "Yes."
It seems that the Second Miss has been under house arrest by the Madam. However, asking her to teach the Second Miss the rules and not allow her to go out is better than asking her to die. She is just a servant, how can she restrain her master's behavior.
The main thing is that the second young lady is not someone who is easy to mess with. When she first returned home, she whipped several servants who looked down on her.
Alas, when gods fight, mortals suffer.
Ji Suzhi's face was slightly swollen and congested. She touched her face and lowered her head without saying a word. The maid beside her also showed an expression of pity.
Madam is too harsh on the second young lady, and feels that she is not as good as the young ladies born to other concubines.
Ji Suzhi was walking back in a daze, when suddenly someone helped her. She was surprised to find that there was a staircase in front of her. If she was not careful, she might easily step on it and fall.
"Second sister, be careful with your steps."
Ji Suzhi looked up and saw a man standing in front of her. This man looked very similar to Ji's father, but he was more bookish than Ji's father and his features looked much gentler.
This is his half-brother Ji Yanwang.
According to the rules, the aunt was not qualified to raise the child by her side, but unfortunately the mother was unwilling to raise this younger brother, so Ji's father had to let the grandmother raise him.
I heard that he was humble and polite, and behaved well. Now he has lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the imperial examination at a young age.
She thought that her father would soon ask for him to be crowned as the Crown Prince, and he would inherit the Marquis Zhan Yang's Mansion in the future.
This is also something that my mother can never let go of.
"Thanks for the reminder, brother."
Ji Suzhi thanked him and left.
Ji Yanwang looked at Ji Suzhi's back as she left, and naturally saw the red marks on her face. This sister was not as ignorant of etiquette as his mother said, but he also knew that his mother was most likely angry with this sister because of him.
Looking at the eldest son, Nanny Zhang also felt that Madam was too stubborn. When the eldest son came to power and the second daughter married off, the eldest son would not be close enough to Madam and would have little say in the entire mansion. She wondered if Madam would regret it.
Ji Suzhi returned home and laid her face on the bed to rest, her face still feeling a little sore.
Only then did she dare to shed tears, wetting the pillow bit by bit. She felt depressed everywhere in the Ji Mansion, which was not as free and easy as her life in the countryside.
.......
"Master, there are people from the Jin family in Qiang City who want to see you. Lord Jin is also here."
As soon as Ji's father was recalled to the capital, he heard Ji's mother say that she wanted to find a husband for Xue Tang. In fact, he was not very satisfied with Xue Tang. Although Ji's mother was optimistic about the Xue family, Ji's father still asked her to wait.
If Ji's father had not come back, Ji Suzhi would probably have been married.
Ji's father had also heard of the Jin family, which was a large family in Qiangcheng. Its family wealth was ranked among the best in the entire country, but its power in the court was weak. However, relying on its huge financial resources, in just over a decade, it had trained many family members to serve as officials in the court. The Lord Jin mentioned by the servant was the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple and belonged to the Jin family.
"Let them in."
Father Ji put down what he was doing, and the servants came over to tidy up his clothes.
When Tu Yufan saw Ji's father for the first time, he felt a murderous aura from him. Ji's father had been stationed at the border for many years and he had no idea how many people he had killed. There was a bit more hostility in his eyes than that of ordinary people, but Tu Yufan's eyes did not change and he saluted according to etiquette.
