Chapter 180: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 24
Along with Shangguan Ruoxue's sharp cries, a loud thunder sounded in the sky and rain fell instantly.
Ji Yunhuan quickly pulled her mother to the corridor, and Xizi also ran in to hide from the rain.
The servants who were busy in the garden stopped their work and looked for places to shelter from the rain. The Prime Minister's Mansion has always been lenient and there is no rule that people should work in heavy rain.
Only Shangguan Ruoxue knelt stubbornly on the spot, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and screamed in the storm.
"God, please open your eyes. Why don't you kill these evil people? Why don't you even leave me a way to survive? You want to force me to die, but I won't accept my fate!"
"Why should I be born inferior to you? I don't accept it! Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."
Shangguan Ruoxue rushed towards the mahogany pillar. Two maids were quick to drag her to the corridor in the heavy rain.
"Miss cousin, please stop making trouble. We are tired of seeing all these tricks of yours. Just accept your fate as soon as possible, or I will have many ways to deal with you."
"Madam is kindhearted and cannot stand the private methods used in the inner house. We have no place to use our power. A cousin like you who is not a decent person, who hooks up with the boy in the courtyard and is also involved with men outside, would have been dealt with long ago if it were in another family's house, and there would be absolutely no fault to be found."
The two maids pinched Shangguan Ruoxue somewhere, and she became as soft as noodles, with her mouth open but unable to make a sound.
Ji Yunhuan was amazed as she watched from the side that her mother had such a method. She had always thought that her mother only knew how to do business and didn't know how to deal with matters in the inner house.
If you think about it carefully, my mother was able to manage so many employees and the shopkeeper without being cheated by anyone. She must be a meticulous person and definitely not a reckless person.
Zhuo Wei looked at Shangguan Ruoxue with disgust, "I didn't bother with you before, but you really think you are a rich lady? This is a time of trouble, I can't keep you here, take you away!"
"Stop! Let's see who dares!" A loud shout came from inside the house, and the old lady actually woke up!
The old lady was awakened by the thunder outside. She slapped the edge of the bed hard and shouted for someone to push her out.
With a bang, the door was kicked open from the outside.
Ji Yunhuan leaned against the door and said sarcastically, "Hasn't the old lady suffered enough for her? If you keep her, you will only die faster."
The old lady propped herself up and tried to sit up, but she found that her lower body had lost all feeling. She was terrified. "What happened? Why can't I move? It's you! What did you do? Are you trying to poison me?"
The doctor next to her explained, "The old lady's illness was not caused by poisoning, but by shock and hemiplegia caused by a stroke."
The old lady didn't listen at all. She fell off the bed at the maid's scream and crawled towards the door with her sick body.
"You two, mother and daughter, teamed up to harm me. Don't think I don't know what you want to do. Send Xue'er away first, so that you can control an old man like me! From now on, this mansion will be your world. No one will care whether I live or die."
"If you dare to send Xue'er away today, I will go to the government office and beat the drum to complain, so that the whole capital will know how you tortured your mother-in-law. As the prime minister of a country, you are disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, and you have forced my mother to have no way to live. I think he doesn't need to be the prime minister anymore!"
The maids and old women in the room didn't dare to breathe, and the doctor kept wiping his cold sweat, wishing he didn't have ears.
The two maids outside the room did not dare to move and held Shangguan Ruoxue down, not daring to drag her out any further.
Ji Yunhuan couldn't believe his ears.
There actually is such a mother in this world who would let her son lose his official position for an outsider.
Even though my father is not the old lady's biological son, he has always been filial to her as if she were his own mother. Doesn't the old lady have a heart?
Zhuo Wei was so angry that she was shaking all over. She felt sorry for her husband, who lost his biological mother when he was young and was deceived by his adoptive mother for many years. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get furious.
"He has always treated you as his biological mother, thinking that as long as he does well enough, you will like him, love him, and turn your attention to him. But you only use him, suck his marrow dry, and fatten up your disappointing son!"
"You made such a scene five years ago. If it weren't for your majesty's wisdom, he would have lost his position long ago. He finally knew that you were not his biological mother, but he still respected you and was filial to you. He lived an upright life. Just for your disappointing son, he asked your majesty to show some leniency."
"You are not worthy of being his mother! You are not worthy of enjoying this wealth and glory. Carry the old lady to the Buddhist temple and let her rest and recuperate. Don't come out unless necessary."
The old lady crawled to the door, tightly grasped Zhuo Wei's skirt, and said viciously: "How dare you! I am a first-rank imperial lady, the mother of the prime minister, how dare you put me under house arrest?"
Zhuo Wei kicked the old lady away and sneered: "Without him, you are nothing! He is soft-hearted, but I am a bad person. If you dare to cause trouble again, go back to your hometown and guard the ancestral home with your good son."
Shangguan Ruoxue lost her last support and was finally sent out of the capital.
The old lady lived in a Buddhist temple. She no longer had servants or maids, and only had a maid to serve her.
Zhuo Wei is a very strict housekeeper. Without the old lady jumping around, no news from the inner chambers of the Prime Minister's Mansion can be leaked out.
After Prime Minister Ji came back, he said nothing. He just held his wife's hand and said tenderly, "You did the right thing. I was the one who restrained you before. I always thought that she raised me, and I didn't want to hurt the relationship."
"Now that His Majesty is missing and the situation is turbulent, the Crown Prince is not as gentle as he appears to be. If there is trouble at home again, it will be troublesome."
Ji Yunhuan pulled his brother to eavesdrop outside the house. After being discovered by his father, he decisively pushed his brother out as a scapegoat and quietly returned to Linlangyuan.
Xizi rushed over and threw himself into her arms.
Ji Yunhuan hugged Xizi and gave him a kiss, then said with a smile, "Are you anxious? Let's rest early."
Three days later, a knight in green brought a generous gift and handed it to Ji Yunhuan in person.
"The young master has already left the capital. This is a thank-you gift for you, young lady. Please accept it, otherwise I will not be able to report to the young master."
The knight was young and handsome, without the rough air of the common people in the martial arts world. Instead, he was respectful and polite. Ji Yunhuan could not help but look at him a few more times.
"Then I won't be polite. It's rude not to reciprocate. Please give this box to Sister Mei. They are just some little girls' toys. They are not worth much."
After the blue-clothed knight left, Ji Yun'an walked over reluctantly and said dissatisfiedly, "Why did she leave without telling me? Why do you have a gift, but I have nothing?"
Ji Yunhuan held the wooden box and didn't show it to his second brother. He said proudly, "It shows that Sister Mei has me in her heart. Unlike some people, Sister Mei probably doesn't even remember your name. I think the young man just now is not bad, much better than you."
One word can make two people jealous.
Ji Yun'an was anxious, "Nonsense! His steps are weak and it's obvious that he hasn't practiced hard enough. He can't even last three moves under my hands. Mei Lingshuang must be blind to choose him! No, I have to go and take a look!"
Ji Yunan disappeared in a flash.
Xizi grabbed the hem of Ji Yunhuan's skirt and tried to climb onto her, meowing at her non-stop.
"No! People in the martial arts world are living in uncertainty, how can they live in poverty? You are the future princess, I don't allow you to like him!"
