Chapter 352: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 95
Ji Tongfu had a complicated expression, he thought Huan'er had officially accepted the Third Prince on the night of the fire at Liang's house, but it turned out that these two had been together behind his back!
He thought he was observant and had discovered the relationship between his daughter and the third prince early on, but it turned out that even he was kept in the dark.
If it was a son, and he was so bold and presumptuous, without informing his family, even though he already had a child, he would definitely have to use family rules to make his son know his place.
But his daughter was pregnant, what could he do? He couldn't do it.
In the final analysis, it's all the Third Prince's fault. He has no status and doesn't know how to restrain himself. Young people just like to mess around. Huan'er doesn't understand the ways of the world, and he doesn't believe that the Third Prince doesn't understand either!
Doctor Xu watched Master Ji's expression carefully, fearing that Master Ji would drag him out in anger and silence him. He really didn't hear anything.
Ji Tongfu still couldn't bear to say anything harsh, and said helplessly: "As expected, children are debts. You didn't let me worry about you for the past 20 years, and you made up for it all this time."
"Listen carefully, what happened today must not be spread outside. If there are any rumors outside, I will definitely investigate it to the end and will not let it go easily!"
The people in the room were all Mrs. Ji's confidants, and they immediately agreed when they heard the words.
From now on, everyone in the Ji Mansion must be on high alert and not leak any information.
Mrs. Ji was really shocked, but since things had come to this point, she took her daughter in her arms and comforted her, "Huan'er, don't worry about anything. Your father is here for you. Just give birth to the baby without any worries."
Ji Yunhuan was prepared to be scolded by his father, and his mother might even shed a few tears out of worry, but unexpectedly they all accepted it well and had already started thinking about how to help Jing Yu build a relationship with the child.
"Mom is an experienced person. This child is in your belly and is connected to you by blood. Women are born to love children, but men are different. They are still confused when they suddenly have a child."
"You have to let the Third Prince see the child grow up day by day, let him touch the child more and get closer to the child, so that he will like the child more. You should also stop quarreling with the Third Prince. It's time to let him come to see you."
Ji Yunhuan nodded in agreement, and for the sake of the child, let Jing Yu come in and take a look.
If she hadn’t been diagnosed with pregnancy today, she really planned to ignore Jingyu for a month.
Ji Tongfu immediately arranged for someone to secretly invite the third prince. Huan'er had a quarrel with the third prince and avoided him, but he had been secretly in contact with the third prince all the time.
The title deed to Mulan Paddock was given to Huan'er by the Third Prince.
After examining Ji Yunhuan, Doctor Xu was so frightened that he took a long time to calm down before he began to check Mrs. Ji's pulse.
Ji Tongfu sat beside his wife, frowning deeply, "Madam, you haven't had headaches recently, but your temper is getting worse. I don't know if it's because of your excessive liver fire. It's harmful to your health if you keep on like this. Maybe you should take some medicine to regulate your body."
Doctor Xu asked many questions as usual, and Mrs. Ji felt more and more embarrassed the more she answered.
Mrs. Ji didn't know what was wrong with her. She couldn't control herself. Maybe it was because the master had been indulging her too much in recent days, so she became more and more unscrupulous.
In the past, for the sake of having an offspring, she would occasionally persuade the master to go to the concubine's room. Unfortunately, concubine Li was not ambitious enough and did not give birth to any promising children. Now, she gets angry whenever she thinks of concubine Li. It would be better for the master not to see concubine Li for the rest of his life!
Women should regard virtue as kindness and gentleness. She felt that she had gone too far, but she also felt very happy this way.
After being married for so many years, the master couldn't possibly divorce her. After she made a fuss a few times, the master spent more of his time and attention on her.
Doctor Xu showed a delighted look on his face and said loudly, "Congratulations, Master, congratulations, Madam, the Madam is pregnant!"
Mrs. Ji was stunned for a moment and looked at her daughter in a daze. The surprise came too suddenly and she was a little bit unbelievable.
Ji Yunhuan held her mother's hand tightly and said with a smile, "Mom must be so happy that she is silly. Mom has always hoped to have another child. Now her wish has come true. It must be that your sincerity has moved the Bodhisattva."
Madam Ji took out the fertility charm from her bosom and burst into tears with excitement. "Master Mingjing is indeed a master! Tomorrow, mother will go to Fuguang Temple to fulfill her vow and donate more incense money to thank Master Mingjing."
Ji Tongfu didn't believe in ghosts or gods. His wife offered talismans for fertility every day, and he didn't stop her, but he refused to join her in the offerings either.
Now that my wife is really pregnant, maybe Zhen Fuguang Temple really has some abilities.
These years, he has also hoped that his wife could give birth to more legitimate children to support the Ji family. Adopted children are not as caring as one's own children.
Ji Tongfu was extremely excited, and immediately notified the housekeeper to come over and announced joyfully, "Madam is pregnant, and all servants will be given three extra months' wages, let's celebrate together."
"Everyone in the mansion should be careful and cautious. Madam should be the first priority. If Madam is unhappy, don't blame me for being rude. Those who stir up trouble should be beaten to death or sold out. No mercy should be shown."
The housekeeper was also overjoyed. After waiting for so many years, his wife finally got pregnant. If she could give birth to a legitimate son, the Ji family would have hope in the future. If the master's family prospered, they, the servants, would be able to live a good life.
"Don't worry, Master. I understand everything. I will never let irrelevant people disturb Madam's pregnancy."
This irrelevant person naturally refers to Aunt Li. If Aunt Li was allowed to bring in some dirty things from outside and harm the Madam, then he really deserved to die to atone for his sin.
Ji Tongfu's heart was on Madam Ji. He touched Madam Ji's belly carefully and said softly, "Tomorrow I will go with you to fulfill the vow. I was not there when Huan'er was born, but I will definitely accompany you this time."
Ji Yunhuan quietly retreated and returned to his own yard.
Not long after, Jing Yu climbed over the wall and came in.
Jing Yu was wearing a turquoise official robe, a jade crown on his head, and a piece of fine mutton-fat jade around his waist. Even though he was wearing the robe of a sixth-rank official, he looked like he looked down on the world.
The emperor naturally would not give Jing Yu a very high official position, but everyone knew that he was the third prince and would most likely inherit the throne in the future. He did not play the game of courtesy and respect for the wise and humble, and after handling the Fugui Casino case with thundering means, his position was established.
The rank of the official position was not important at all, and he did not want to compete for official positions with those hard-working scholars. He was aloof from the outside world. He was the future emperor, and what he had to do was to manage all the officials.
Of course, there were also people who disliked him, saying that he was not as humble and kind as the second prince, and scolding him for being bloodthirsty, but he didn't take it to heart at all. What's the point of trying to please the officials? In the future, it should be the officials who should try to please him.
Nowadays, whenever the Minister of Justice encounters a difficult case, he will come to him for advice. With him as a backer, the Minister of Justice is more confident in arresting people. The officials of the Ministry of Justice can finally hold their heads high and are determined to make some achievements.
Ji Yunhuan looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, patted his chest and whispered: "I was shocked. How come he came so soon? The Ministry of Justice hasn't even left yet."
