Chapter 299: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 42
Liang Wanzhou called them father-in-law and mother-in-law all the time, and it was very fluent.
But in the previous life, when Liang Wanzhou killed Prime Minister Ji, he was merciless and everyone thought it was an accident.
Liang Wanzhou acted like a good son-in-law and helped the Ji family to organize the funeral. He cried so hard at the funeral that even Ji Yunhuan was deceived by him.
At that time, Aunt Wan had already been sent out of the house by Ji Yunhuan. Liang Wanzhou even dismissed the other concubines and stayed with Ji Yunhuan, accompanying her and comforting her.
Ji Yunhuan thought that Liang Wanzhou had really changed for the better. Since Ji's two half-brothers were not doing well for her, she and her mother placed all their hopes on Liang Wanzhou and used all the resources of the Ji family to support him.
Liang Wanzhou was doing very well in the Ministry of Revenue. Relying on the Ji family's connections and the emperor's favor to Prime Minister Ji, Liang Wanzhou became the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in less than a year.
Then came a bolt from the blue. Liang Wanzhou sued the late Ji Shoufu for corruption and bribery at a court meeting, which caused the victims to riot. Ji Shoufu died a worthy death!
Liang Wanzhou put his own interests above his own and gradually uncovered the truth, making great contributions. From then on, his career flourished and he was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Ji family was completely ruined. Ji Yunhuan almost went crazy after learning the truth. She didn't understand why Liang Wanzhou would scheme against her and the entire Ji family when she was wholeheartedly doing so for him.
Only then did she realize that Aunt Wan had died as soon as she left the house, and Liang Wanzhou blamed her for it. All her help to Liang Wanzhou was nothing more than condescending charity in Liang Wanzhou's eyes. Liang Wanzhou hated her and the entire Ji family.
This man is selfish and has no heart at all. The so-called "revenge for Wan Niang" is just a fig leaf pulled by Liang Wanzhou. After the Ji family fell, Liang Wanzhou brought more concubines into the mansion and lived a very happy life.
The second prince wanted to overthrow the Ji family and promised Liang Wanzhou many benefits. Liang Wanzhou did not hesitate at all and used the entire Ji family as his stepping stone!
Liang Wanzhou is pretending to be affectionate with her now only because he still wants to take advantage of the Ji family, not because he cares about her face.
Even if Liang Wanzhou is promiscuous, as long as she is still Liang Wanzhou's legal wife and as long as the two of them maintain the dignity of a couple, Liang Wanzhou is the son-in-law of the Ji family.
Even for her, her mother would persuade her father to help Liang Wanzhou more.
She is her mother's only child. She cannot go out and make achievements to bring honor to her mother. So she hopes that Liang Wanzhou can do better and pretend to be loving on the surface so that her mother can feel at ease.
Now she didn't want to pretend at all. She didn't want the Ji family to help Liang Wanzhou even a little bit.
Ji Yunhuan looked at Liang Wanzhou with a half-smile, "I'm not doing well in the Marquis' Mansion, and I'm not afraid of people knowing. If it weren't for the fact that only the legal wife can attend the palace banquet, the Marquis would probably bring Concubine Wan with him. The Marquis has never had me in his eyes, so there's no need to pretend anymore."
It was now time to enter the palace, and many dignitaries from the capital gathered at the palace gate.
As soon as Ji Yunhuan said this, everyone stopped in their tracks. Rumors are just rumors. Every family has had the trouble of wives and concubines fighting with each other, but this was the first time that the situation like that of Marquis Xuanwu and his wife had been brought to the surface.
Liang Wanzhou's face turned pale and blue, and he shouted sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you see what kind of occasion this is? Come here! Ji Yunhuan, are you deaf? This marquis asked you to come here!"
Ji Yunhuan ignored Liang Wanzhou and walked straight towards the palace gate.
Liang Wanzhou followed him, cursing, and reached out to pull Ji Yunhuan, "Are you crazy? You have no shame, but I still have some dignity..."
The eldest princess' carriage just drove into the palace gate. As the only daughter of the late emperor, the eldest princess had the privilege of driving into the palace.
"Huan'er, get in the car. I'll give you a ride." The eldest princess's majestic voice came from inside the car.
Liang Wanzhou was forced to take a step back by the carriage, and the luxurious carriage separated Ji Yunhuan and Liang Wanzhou.
Ji Yunhuan really disliked Liang Wanzhou's noise, so he got on the carriage and Shiqin sat on the shaft.
Liang Wanzhou also wanted to climb onto the carriage, trying to get close to the eldest princess. "My wife teaches the little princess every day, and she never slacks off at the end of the year. I heard that the little princess has grown up to be very graceful and smart. This is all thanks to my wife."
The eldest princess didn't bother to pay attention to Liang Wanzhou at all. She heard everything at the palace gate just now. Huan'er was such a gentle and kind person, but she actually said such words. Liang Wanzhou was really a piece of shit!
The coachman was the personal guard of the Princess's mansion. He was assigned to the Princess when the late Emperor was alive. Naturally, he knew the Princess's thoughts very well.
Without the princess's order, he moved over and stopped Liang Wanzhou from climbing up.
"How dare you! What do you want to do, Lord? This is the carriage of the eldest princess. You are a man outside, and you still want to ride in the same carriage with the eldest princess? If you bump into the eldest princess, how many heads does Lord have to chop off?"
Liang Wanzhou would be a bully at home and would never dare to offend the princess. He bowed towards the carriage and explained anxiously:
"Princess, calm down. That's not what I meant. How dare I offend you? I just wanted to drive the carriage for you as a token of my gratitude."
The driver sneered, "Your Majesty, you are so heavy that you can't even hold the reins. There is no room for you to sit on the shaft. Please move aside, Your Majesty."
The driver whipped his whip as he finished speaking. The three white horses neighed in unison and galloped away in an instant.
Liang Wanzhou was very angry. The maidservants around Ji Yunhuan could go up, so why couldn't he, a dignified marquis, go up?
Naturally, he did not dare to hate the eldest princess, so he secretly cursed the coachman in his heart.
What a dog that looks down on others. When he gets a position and is appreciated by His Majesty, he will definitely find a way to teach this coachman a lesson!
Inside the carriage.
Princess Kang Le rushed over and hugged Ji Yunhuan, saying coquettishly: "Le Le hasn't seen Sister Huan for a long time. Le Le doesn't want any annual leave. We can still study at the end of the year. Sister Huan can continue to teach Le Le, okay?"
In fact, Ji Yunhuan had nothing left to teach Princess Kangle, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, household management, rules and etiquette, embroidery and needlework... The princess wanted to invite the best teachers in the capital to come over.
As a princess, Kang Le does not need to do everything herself, but she must be involved in everything and cannot be deceived by others.
The princess coughed lightly and said with a straight face, "You don't know how to sit properly. When you see Huan'er, you act like you have no bones."
Ji Yunhuan touched Princess Kang Le's little head and chuckled, "Le Le has learned very well. Learning should be combined with work and rest. When I am free, I will go to the Princess's Mansion to play with you, okay?"
Princess Kangle nodded vigorously and clung even more to Ji Yunhuan, refusing to get off.
"Mom, did you hear that? Sister Huan said that we should combine work and rest. Don't stare at me all day long. Don't you feel tired?"
The princess raised her phoenix eyes and said angrily: "Is that a combination of work and rest? If I don't care about you, you will only have comfort!"
In the past, she worried that Kang Le was not smart enough, but now the child is too smart and very naughty, which gives her a headache. Those teachers can't control Kang Le at all, and she can only play the bad guy.
Kang Le pretended to be scared, huddled in Ji Yunhuan's arms, and said pitifully:
"Look, Sister Huan, mother is so fierce! Sister Huan is not living well in the Marquis's Mansion, why not move to the Princess's Mansion? With Sister Huan by my side, I will study hard and never be naughty again!"
