Chapter 358: Marquis Mansion Madam vs. Younger Prince 101
Madam Ji was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. "The Third Prince is indeed brave and courageous. We should go and pay our respects to him. How can we accept his gift for nothing?"
The steward smiled and said, "Your Highness has come here incognito, and has no intention of disturbing Madam and Miss's pleasure. Madam, please accept it. The Third Prince also said that we will all be a family in the future, and there is no need to discuss those conventional etiquettes."
Ji Yunhuan sat beside Madam Ji, with a blush on her face, and lowered her head shyly.
She knew Jing Yu would come, and he would definitely sneak into her tent tonight. This guy is really restless all day. Does the Ministry of Justice have nothing to do? He even followed her to Mulan Paddock.
After the wild boar was carried away, a chef who was good at cooking game would naturally prepare it, cut it into small pieces, rub it with spices, and then serve it.
The wild boar was big enough that everyone present could get a plate of it. In addition to the delicious food prepared by the chef, they could also roast it for fun.
Zhao Baozhen ate until her mouth was full of oil and praised repeatedly: "It's delicious! The food is not expensive, the key is that the Third Prince hunted it himself, and the thought is precious."
The female members present were all on good terms with the Ji family, so naturally they would not say anything unpleasant. No one mentioned that Ji Yunhuan was just a concubine, and all they spoke were words of praise.
"The Third Prince is indeed a considerate and thoughtful man. He has already been thinking about the eldest girl before they even got married. He will definitely hold the eldest girl in his hands and pamper her in the future."
"I really envy Sister Ji. My husband has gone wild somewhere. Not to mention game, I haven't even seen a chicken feather. I'm afraid he has forgotten about getting married."
"I just hope my daughter can be as blessed as Miss Huan'er, marry a man of her dreams, and live a loving life together."
"I heard that the Third Prince is ruthless and cruel. In my opinion, they made mistakes and deserve to be imprisoned! I think the Third Prince is a good person with a thoughtful mind. He is worthy of being entrusted with life."
The camp was filled with the aroma of barbecue. As the sky gradually darkened, a bonfire was lit. No one was reciting poetry anymore. The young girls were already a little tipsy and were singing and dancing around the bonfire, looking very happy.
Not far away is the place where tents are set up. In addition to the luxurious tents for the masters to live in, there are also many small tents for servants to live in or to store sundries.
A figure slipped out of the small tent and hid in the shadows.
Ji Rongyue looked at the blazing flames and laughter ahead and couldn't help but clench his fists.
Ji Yunhuan knew that she was the center of attention and didn't care about her sister's life or death at all. Ji Yunhuan became a concubine and was flattered by others, while she was locked up in a small courtyard, with no talent or reputation, and could not find a good marriage at all.
Today, with the presence of many noble families, if she could show her talent, she would surely amaze everyone. However, Ji Yunhuan chose not to bring her along because he was afraid that she would steal the limelight.
These people only know how to flatter Ji Yunhuan. How can an unlucky widow marry the third prince? It's just because of her father's face, and Ji Yunhuan has the status of a legitimate daughter, so she has such shitty luck.
She is young, beautiful, and has a clean family background. Isn't she a thousand times better than Ji Yunhuan, the widow? Her father is clearly partial. She should have married the third prince!
Ji Rongyue was unwilling to accept this. The Xuanwu Marquis's Mansion was burned down, but why didn't Ji Yunhuan die? If Ji Yunhuan died, it would be great. Then she would be her father's only daughter, and she could marry the third prince.
The bonfire was growing bigger and bigger, Ji Rongyue's eyes were filled with blazing flames, and she wished she could rush over and push down the fire, burning Ji Yunhuan to death!
Even if it meant burning Ji Yunhuan's face, she just didn't believe that the Third Prince would marry an ugly woman!
Ji Rongyue was ready to make a move. She lowered her head and bent over, taking advantage of the shadow, and carefully approached Ji Yunhuan.
She thought she was being secretive, but in fact, everyone could see everything.
There is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps in the camp. Those who come here to play are all dignitaries, so safety is naturally the top priority. In order not to make the guests feel abrupt, the guards try their best to hide their whereabouts.
"Who's there?" A steward passed by and saw a dark shadow sneaking around, so he shouted loudly.
Ji Rongyue was so frightened that she didn't care about murdering Ji Yunhuan. If she was discovered, she would definitely be sent back.
She took great pains to hide in a box and cage and finally sneaked into Mulan Paddock. Just now she heard that the Third Prince had also come, and she must see the Third Prince!
Ji Rongyue held up her skirt and ran towards another place where there was fire.
The bonfire party was still going on. Shiqin brought a steward to Ji Yunhuan and whispered, "The third young lady seems to have sneaked in. She is sneaking around. The steward dare not make a decision on his own. Come and ask the eldest young lady for instructions. Should we arrest her?"
Madam Ji touched her belly. She was in a very good mood today and ate a little too much. Zitan helped her take a walk to help digest the food. When she saw what was happening over there with Ji Yunhuan, she asked, "What's wrong with Huan'er? Is there anything troubling you?"
Ji Yunhuan smiled without revealing any flaws, "Don't worry, mother, it's just some minor business troubles, Huan'er can handle it."
Mrs. Ji had only opened a few shops for fun when she was young, but her daughter had made Linglong Pavilion a success. When it came to business, she could not compare with her daughter.
The trouble with doing business is that there is no cash flow. Apart from that, she felt that her daughter could handle it, so she instructed her:
"If you are short of money, be sure to tell mother, don't just force yourself to do it."
Ji Yunhuan nodded in agreement. After listening to the manager's report, she realized that Ji Rongyue had sneaked in by hiding in a box.
I don’t know whether Ji Rongyue bribed the nanny or was simply lucky, but she was not discovered after hiding in there.
If we arrest people with great fanfare and the news leaks out, my mother will definitely be angry again. There are many people here and if the news gets outside, it will cause even more discussion.
She didn't want people outside to talk about how the mistress of the Ji family treated her concubine harshly.
Shiqin said angrily: "She went in the direction of the male guests. We can't let her run into the Third Prince. She must have bad intentions!"
Ji Yunhuan laughed instead. Jing Yu was not a fool, so how could he possibly look down on Ji Rongyue?
Even though Zhao Baozhen pursued him so closely at the beginning, Jing Yu remained unmoved. Baozhen was just a little naive and stubborn, but she was still a decent and kind person, so Jing Yu just didn't like it and said some cold words at most, but he didn't do anything to Zhao Baozhen.
If it was Ji Rongyue, who was self-righteous, stupid, bad, ignorant and unaware, and fell into Jing Yu's hands, it would definitely be very exciting!
The most she could do was to confine Ji Rongyue to her home and assign someone to keep an eye on her, but she couldn't really do anything to her. But if Jing Yu wanted to teach Ji Rongyue a lesson, she couldn't do anything about it.
Ji Yun smiled and told the steward, "Since the third lady is here, she is a guest of Mulan Paddock. There is no reason to drive her away. Send someone to keep an eye on her. As long as she doesn't kill or burn anything, leave her alone."
