Chapter 14: Beautiful Daughter vs. Heirless Emperor 14
Early in the morning of that day, Nanny Yan prepared the carriage to take Ji Yunhuan home.
There were no signs on the carriage, but the interior was extremely comfortable, with plenty of space for both sitting and lying down.
There is a thick cushion under the body. The driver has excellent driving skills and I can hardly feel any bumps when sitting in it.
"Miss, if you are tired, take a nap. We will be there soon."
There was a hint of excitement in Taohong's voice. She couldn't wait to see the young lady deal with Aunt Zhang!
Ji Yunhuan was indeed a little tired. She had become extremely sleepy. She had a very light sleep at night and always got up at night. During the day, she slept until noon and then had to take a nap.
Fortunately, she was the one who had the final say in Shuiyue Temple. Nanny Yan was just taking care of her and had no intention of disciplining her. She gradually got used to Nanny Yan's presence.
Ji Yunhuan lay down with Taohong's help and closed his eyes to take a nap.
The carriages soon drove into the entrance of the alley. The three carriages driving side by side filled the alley. The guards behind them rode on tall horses and roared past, looking very majestic.
This area was inhabited by officials of moderate importance who could barely attend grand court meetings. Today happened to be a grand court meeting, and all the masters of the families had gone to court, leaving only the women at home to take care of the housework.
Hearing such a loud noise outside, many people couldn't help but come out to join in the fun.
"Oh, look at the three horses pulling the cart. They are not something people like us can afford. They are divine horses that cannot be bought even with money!"
"These guards are really impressive. Although they are few in number, they have a calm aura and are all martial artists. Even the guards we hired are not enough to fill their gaps."
"Tsk tsk tsk... Which noble family is going out? I wonder which family is lucky enough to marry such a noble person."
"That carriage is inlaid with night-shining pearls. With such a fine appearance, it must be from a duke's or marquis's mansion. Maybe it even came from the palace."
"Shh... keep your voice down, don't let the noble hear. He clearly wants to hide his identity, how can you be so tactless!"
As people were talking one after another, the carriage stopped in front of the Ji Mansion.
The Ji Mansion is the richest house in the entire alley. It is a large house with five courtyards, and there are many maids and servants in the house. Now there are distinguished guests, which is really enviable.
The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The whole street was alarmed, and more and more people came to watch the excitement.
This was exactly the effect Ji Yunhuan wanted. She lifted a corner of the curtain and saw that most people had gathered. Then she said to Nanny Yan beside her:
"Madam, please tell the mistress to go out and greet us. Don't worry about anything else."
Ji Yunhuan believed that Aunt Zhou would come out, and she wanted to tear off Aunt Zhou's hypocritical mask in front of everyone!
Nanny Yan looked at the doorman who came running out in a hurry, and her tone was full of disgust.
"It's really unruly. Is this how the Ji family trains their servants? You are offending my master."
The concierge was intimidated by her aura, and his aura suddenly became lower. He glanced in the direction of the carriage and asked cautiously, "Who is inside the carriage?"
Nanny Yan glanced over with a sharp gaze and angrily scolded, "Are you qualified to question my master? Open the main gate and let the mistress of the house come out to greet you. It is a blessing for you that my master can come. If you neglect him in the slightest, the consequences will not be something you can afford."
The doorman's legs went weak and he almost knelt down. He didn't dare to ask any more questions and went in to report immediately.
Inside the Ji Mansion.
Aunt Zhang was leaning on the couch, surrounded by a group of maids and old women, all of whom came to report to her about the affairs of the mansion.
She now has the power to manage the household and has a son and a daughter. Her son Ji Yongchang is the only male in the Ji family, and her daughter Ji Yonglian is beautiful and is about to marry the prince of the Marquis's family.
Aunt Zhang was so proud of herself that she had already regarded herself as the mistress of the Ji Mansion. All the other concubines in the mansion had to live under her will. The master loved her and the servants also flattered her. The only thing she lacked to become the principal wife was the title.
"You said a distinguished guest has arrived? Which distinguished guest? And you want me to go out and greet him in person. What a big face!"
The doorman knelt on the ground and didn't dare to answer. People said that the mistress of the house would come out to greet them, but Madam Ji had passed away a long time ago and the old lady was in poor health, so Aunt Zhang was asked to help with the housework.
Logically speaking, the old lady should have gone out to greet her, but no one dared to mention it now, for fear of angering Aunt Zhang, which would make their lives difficult in the future.
Ji Yonglian ran out of the house. She was wearing a fresh goose yellow top and a turquoise skirt. The red hairpins on her head swayed with her movements, making tinkling sounds.
"Mother, it must be the wife of Marquis Dingyuan! Brother Lang promised to marry me, and the wife must be here to discuss the marriage."
Aunt Zhang became even more excited when she heard this, and immediately ordered, "Quick, quick, open the main gate to welcome the Marquis' wife into the mansion, don't neglect the distinguished guest."
"Lian'er, you should also quickly dress up and come with me to greet the Marquis. My Lian'er is so beautiful, the Marquis will definitely like you!"
Ji Yonglian has been deeply influenced by Aunt Zhang since she was a child, and the thing she is most proud of is that she has snatched away her elder sister's good marriage!
Unfortunately, it is not easy to pass the test of the Marquis’ wife. Now that the Marquis’ wife has come to visit in person, she is about to become the Crown Prince’s Consort!
The main gate of the Ji Mansion was wide open, and Aunt Zhang came out with a group of maids and old women to greet them. She had a warm smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth were almost reaching the sky.
"No wonder the magpies kept chirping this morning. It turns out that a distinguished guest has come. Why don't you ask Madam Dingyuan to get out of the carriage? We are relatives from now on, so we should visit each other more often."
Aunt Zhang deliberately amplified the sound so that everyone around could hear it and couldn't help but talk about it.
"The daughter of the Ji family had her engagement annulled in public, so where did the in-laws come from?"
"You may not know yet, but the prince of the Marquisate has taken a fancy to the second young lady of the Ji family. This marriage will most likely go to the second young lady."
"A concubine's daughter is going to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix. This is really a blessing that can only be earned in eight lifetimes."
"Who says it's not true? It's because Ji Yunhuan was so arrogant that he almost caused his concubine's sister to fall into the water and die. That's why the prince of the Marquisate disliked him."
"I heard that Ji Yunhuan seduced a man outside her family and lost her virginity. A woman like this who is fickle and unfaithful is not wanted by the Marquis' Mansion, even beggars wouldn't want her!"
"Tsk tsk tsk! Stop it, you're just dirtying our ears."
Nanny Yan was very angry! They say rumors can kill people, and she has seen it today.
She coldly looked at a woman with a slender waist walking towards her, acting shyly and like a fairy. She was wearing good material, but it was a pity that her temperament was not suppressed. It looked like she had stolen someone else's clothes and jewelry, making her look even more frivolous.
Next to the woman was a restless little girl, her eyes wandering around and her behavior frivolous. She must be the second daughter of the Ji family as everyone was talking about.
With just one glance, Nanny Yan could guess the dirty things going on in this mansion, and her eyes became even colder.
"Are you the mistress of the house? I don't think you are."
