Chapter 336: Marquis's Madam vs. Younger Prince 79
Kong Liang's face turned red and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
His mind was full of thoughts about what the third young lady looked like, but he forgot that the Ji family also had an eldest daughter who had long been married to the Marquis Xuanwu's Mansion.
The eldest daughter of the Ji family was not on good terms with Marquis Xuanwu, and everyone knew about it. No one knew what was wrong with Marquis Xuanwu, as he ignored his good wife and instead favored a concubine who came from a brothel.
There is no more Marquis Xuanwu now, and Liang Wanzhou has lost his title. Strictly speaking, it is also because he exposed the cheating in the imperial examination in the Golden Palace.
However, the Ji family had no ill will towards him, and Ji Shoufu even secretly helped him become the top scholar. Ji Shoufu was indeed as the rumors said, honest and upright, and never showed favoritism.
It's just a pity for the eldest daughter of the Ji family. Prime Minister Ji was so kind that he took the eldest daughter to live with the Ji family. If it were that heartless man, the son-in-law would have broken off all ties with his daughter long ago after causing such a disaster.
Kong Liang coughed awkwardly, "I am sorry for being rude, miss. With your personality and appearance, I believe that your third sister is also very good. Thank you for saying a few good words for me and asking your third sister to meet me. I will be very grateful."
Ji Yunhuan nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, I will definitely let you meet so that you can get to know each other better."
Mrs. Ji also agreed with a smile. The two sides got along quite well and were both looking forward to getting married soon. Mrs. Ji was very kind to Kong Liang and did not make things difficult for the Kong family at all.
Kong Liang felt that the marriage had already been settled. Although he had not met his future wife, a woman would definitely be shy before getting married. He thought he was not ugly, so there should be no problem with the third lady.
As soon as the Kong family left, Zitan ran in hurriedly, panting, "Madam, the third young lady wanted to commit suicide, but I stopped her just now. The third young lady is a delicate and precious person, and I dare not make the decision on my own. Please go and take a look, Madam."
Mrs. Ji was so angry that her head hurt.
Girls in the boudoir rarely see men outside their families. If they know that their future husband is coming to propose marriage, they will definitely want to take a look. Even if they don’t do it openly, they will hide behind the screen and watch secretly.
Ji Rongyue was absolutely unwilling to come and see Kong Liang, but fortunately Huan'er made amends and managed to fool him.
The Kong family came to propose marriage, and Ji Rongyue threatened to commit suicide right after. If the news got out, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Kong family? Who would dare to come and ask for Ji Rongyue's hand in marriage in the future?
"Keep an eye on the people around the third lady, this matter must not be spread out!"
Zitan responded. She had already replaced a group of people in the Third Miss's yard, for fear that there would be some short-sighted people who would help the Third Miss do something ridiculous.
Ji Yunhuan supported her mother, full of worry, "Mother, your headache has come back, don't worry too much. Third sister is young and ignorant, she is just making a fuss and is reluctant to die. I will go and persuade her, mother, take a good rest."
Madam Ji pressed her swollen solar plexus. Aunt Li had been very noisy these days, Ji Ronghua was also very noisy, and now with Rong Hao getting married and the third girl getting married, she was really exhausted.
She held her daughter's hand, feeling guilty. "It's all your fault that you're useless. You finally came back, but you can't have peace. No matter what you do, don't let her make trouble again."
Ji Yunhuan ordered someone to call for Doctor Xu, and then helped her mother back. After making sure that her mother was safe, she slowly led people to Ji Rongyue's yard.
A broken white silk was hanging on the beam. Ji Rongyue fell to the ground, holding a dagger in her hand, and cried until her voice became hoarse.
The maids and nannies around her just surrounded her and didn't dare to come forward. When they saw Ji Yunhuan, they came over to pay their respects as if they had seen a savior.
Ji Rongyue put the dagger against her neck and cried even louder, "What are you doing here? This is my yard, get out! Someone, get her out!"
The servants lowered their heads, as if they didn't hear anything.
Ji Rongyue was very angry. When she woke up, all the people in the yard had been replaced, except for the personal maid who was on night watch.
These people didn't listen to her at all. She threatened to commit suicide, and the servants panicked. But she still didn't see her father. Only Zitan, who was beside the lady, came.
Zitan was afraid that Ji Rongyue would go crazy and hurt the eldest lady, so he immediately stood in front of the eldest lady.
Ji Yunhuan stared down at Ji Rongyue and sneered, "Third sister is so arrogant. She is really raised by Auntie. Just like Auntie Li, she always threatens to commit suicide. Your life is your own. If you die, it will only be a sudden death. It won't be a big loss for the Ji family."
"Mr. Kong is indeed a good-looking man with good looks and knowledge. Mother is very satisfied with this marriage. Without you, at most we can choose a girl from the side branches to marry him. I'm afraid those girls will fight for it."
Ji Rongyue didn't believe that this was a good marriage at all. How could the lady really do that for her own good? She was just using her.
She stood up, pointed the dagger at Ji Yunhuan, and roared, "It's all your fault! You and your wife are not good people! I will never marry you, I want to see my father!"
As soon as Ji Yunhuan glanced over, a maid rushed over and pinned Ji Rongyue under her. Ji Rongyue wanted to stab her with the dagger, but with a click, her wrist was twisted and the dagger was confiscated.
Ji Rongyue screamed and uttered these dirty words, which were particularly harsh.
Ji Yunhuan smiled slightly, not taking it to heart at all, "How foolish! You didn't know how to cherish such a good marriage opportunity, and you had to go to great lengths to make it happen. If it wasn't for my father's peace of mind, do you think I would mind your business?"
"Tie her up and lock her up in the house. If she makes trouble again, keep tying her up. I want to see how long the third lady can hold her head high."
The old women had wanted to do this for a long time, and they quickly tied Ji Rongyue tightly. With a click, their wrists were tied up, and there was no need to call a doctor.
Ji Rongyue's hair was disheveled and her face was hideous. She fell to the ground and screamed desperately, "Ji Yunhuan, you bitch! You will not die well! I will never do as you wish. If I don't marry you, can you still tie me up and put me in the bridal sedan?"
Ji Yunhuan chuckled and said, "I don't know where Third Sister heard this gossip from. A family like ours is not selling our daughter, so how could we do such a disrespectful thing?"
"The Kong family has just proposed marriage, and there is still a long way to go. If you don't cooperate and cause any scandal, then my father and mother will no longer care about your marriage. My third sister is a smart person, she will definitely understand the interests involved and marry willingly."
Ji Rongyue's face turned pale. Ji Yunhuan was threatening her. If the Madam didn't care about her marriage and her aunt didn't know any noble families, she would never be able to get married in her life.
Why is her life so miserable? She doesn’t want to be sent to the temple and waste her youth in vain.
Ji Yunhuan knew that Ji Rongyue would not believe anything he said, so he simply used his power to pressure her, which would also allow his mother to worry less.
"Take the third young lady in, and only give her one meal a day and one drink of water. When the third young lady has come to her senses and is willing to see Master Kong, send someone to tell mother. Don't pay attention to the rest, and don't disturb mother's recovery."
