Chapter 351: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 94
Ji Yunhuan watched the two of them go away. Zhao Baozhen's laughter could be heard from a long distance away. Kong Liang rode on his horse with a dignified look, and all the depression in his body was gone.
Ji Yunhuan couldn't help but smile. At least in this life, Zhao Baozhen would not jump into the fire pit of the Second Prince again. She could live in peace and happiness.
This rare innocence and frankness is rare in the capital. She really likes it and hopes Baozhen can always be happy like this.
Shiqin sighed, "Mr. Kong can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing. He has left the evil spirit of Miss Three and will be able to have a good marriage with Miss Zhao in the future."
Ji Yunhuan went to his mother's yard first, and happened to meet Dr. Xu who came to see his mother for a follow-up visit.
After Ji Yunhuan moved into the Ji family, she no longer let her mother worry too much. It was she who arranged Ji Ronghao's marriage, and her mother just showed up and was very relaxed.
She had prepared Ji Rongyue's dowry and had already prepared it, but it was of no use now.
She took care of all the trivial matters, so my mother just had some free time. Her health has been good for a long time and her headaches no longer occur. The reason why Doctor Xu came here today was because my father was worried and insisted that Doctor Xu come to take a look.
Madam Ji held her daughter's hand, her eyes full of heartache, "My dear, what are you busy with again? You go out early and come back late every day, you are busier than your father. I said I wanted to help you, but you were not willing to do it and insisted on doing it by yourself. Don't hurt yourself."
Ji Yunhuan sat down next to his mother and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the Mulan Paddock has been built, but it's not well-known now. I thought of finding more people to hold a big party and spread its reputation all at once."
"Today I just took Baozhen out for a walk. Those young girls were chattering and it was so lively. They all wanted to invite their friends to play in the paddock."
Ji Tongfu has always been against his daughter doing business. He thinks the output from the farm and the rent from the shop are enough for his daughter to live a leisurely life. There is no need for her to compete with businessmen for profits and lose her status.
But Huan'er really liked doing this, and Jing Yu provided land and manpower to please Huan'er, and they set up Mulan Paddock in a hurry, so he didn't bother to care about it anymore.
Mrs. Ji felt sorry for her daughter running around, so she said to Ji Tongfu, "Now that you have some free time, you should go out more often. I think this Mulan Paddock is a good place for sightseeing. It can accommodate as many relatives and friends as you want."
Ji Tongfu was very resistant. It was one thing for him not to care about his daughter's business, but he couldn't get over the fact that he was asked to go there with his old friends and then people found out that the enclosure was run by his daughter.
Ji Tongfu hesitated and disagreed, and Mrs. Ji's temper flared up again, and tears came.
"I accompanied you back to Beijing to take up my post while I was pregnant with Huan'er. I wanted to get some fresh air, and you promised to go out with me. But you never went with me until Huan'er was born!"
"Every year you said you would accompany me, but every year you broke your promise. You are busy! You have been busy from the Ministry of Personnel to the Cabinet, and I can't say anything. But you are not busy now! You are idle at home, and you still don't accompany me..."
Ji Tongfu was filled with guilt after being told this, and he surrendered immediately, "Okay, okay, let's go together. Madam, you can play as long as you want and play whatever you want. As long as Madam is happy, that's all."
Mrs. Ji burst into laughter and immediately asked someone to bring paper and pen and started writing the invitations.
There are also some considerations when it comes to who to invite. You can't invite those who are in high positions and have great power. You have to look for those sons of noble families who have honorary titles and like to have fun. It would be best if they could bring their wives and children along, so that all circles in the capital will know about Mulan Paddock.
Ji Tongfu sighed. He had no way to deal with his wife now.
"Take a break, I'll write."
Mrs. Ji rolled up her sleeves and ground ink for her husband. She smiled with her eyebrows curved and her eyes full of tenderness.
Ji Yunhuan wanted to go over and help. Her mother made such a big fuss for her business. By then, Mulan Paddock would surely become famous.
Madam Ji waved her hand and asked Ji Yunhuan to sit aside. "It's just a small matter. Your father finished writing it in less than a cup of tea. Let Doctor Xu take your pulse first. If you are not feeling well, you must rest and don't overwork yourself."
Ji Yunhuan sat down obediently, stretched out his wrist and placed it on the pulse pillow.
If she doesn't diagnose the patient, her mother will nag her again.
Doctor Xu felt Miss Ji's pulse and examined her for a while. He suddenly frowned and said to himself, "No, this shouldn't be the case. Could it be another disease?"
Mrs. Ji's heart began to lift. Doctor Xu was best at treating women's illnesses. Could there really be something wrong with Huan'er's body?
Doctor Xu asked Ji Yunhuan some more questions, and Ji Yunhuan answered them one by one.
Doctor Xu's face looked even uglier. Could it really be a pregnancy pulse?
But he knew that Miss Ji had fallen out with Marquis Xuanwu a long time ago and they had never slept together. Later, she moved to Fuguang Temple. Calculating the time, it didn't seem like the baby was Marquis Xuanwu's posthumous child.
Madam Ji was extremely anxious and urged, "Doctor Xu, please tell me, what is the disease?"
Doctor Xu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered, "Well... I am not very skilled, I need to see more, see more..."
Mrs. Ji leaned in her husband's arms, her nose felt sore, and she tried hard to hold back her tears. The illness that even Doctor Xu was not sure about must not be a simple one. Her Huan'er, who had finally escaped from the wolf's den, why was his life so miserable?
"Don't be afraid, Huan'er, it will be cured."
Ji Yunhuan was not afraid at all, she was just afraid of scaring her mother.
"Doctor Xu, just speak frankly. This is not a big deal. Our two families have been friends for generations. As long as Doctor Xu keeps his mouth shut, I will naturally trust him."
Doctor Xu was shocked. This was not a big deal. Miss Ji was so bold!
He had been in and out of the inner courtyards of the mansion and even the imperial palace, so he had naturally seen many secrets and in no time he came up with a way to cover it up.
No matter where this child came from, his father could only be the late Marquis Xuanwu.
Doctor Xu bowed and said, "Congratulations, young lady. You are already two months pregnant. The Liang family has a successor and the incense is not cut off. You are the great benefactor of the Liang family."
Ji Yunhuan found that Doctor Xu really knew the current affairs. Not only was he a good doctor, but he was also quick-witted. He was worthy of being the doctor that even the Empress Dowager praised highly.
However, she didn't want her child to have anything to do with Liang Wanzhou.
She looked at Doctor Xu with a smile and said nonchalantly, "Doctor Xu, you are wrong. The child is indeed there, but the biological father is someone else. I will trouble you, Doctor Xu, to take care of the pregnancy."
Doctor Xu's eyes widened, and he didn't dare to ask more questions. He just responded meekly.
