Chapter 362: Marquis Mansion Madam vs. Younger Prince 105
The second prince lifted Ji Rongyue's chin. The woman in front of him had red and swollen eyes, a slap mark on one side of her face and a scratch on the other. It was really hard to tell what she looked like, which was a bit disgusting.
Ji Rongyue endured the pain, tried her best to flirt with the Second Prince, and began to cry.
The second prince turned his eyes away with some disdain, "How could a girl from the Ji family be hanging out with men? You said you were a girl from the Ji family, what proof do you have?"
The second prince has seen many women who try to curry favor with powerful men, and there is no shortage of stunning women around him. If she is really a girl from the Ji family, he might consider accepting her.
The Ji family was famous for its upright family tradition; even the daughters of the side branches were well-behaved. He tried to win over Ji Tongfu in the court, but Ji Tongfu ignored him. He then thought about marrying them privately, but the daughters of the side branches refused to take the bait, so he could not find an opportunity to do so.
Later, he wanted to send someone to Ji Tongfu. Ji Tongfu didn't even touch the Yangzhou skinny horse given at the banquet. He secretly sent a beautiful and well-trained woman into Ji's mansion, but she was quickly sold out and could never get into Ji Tongfu's bed.
Jing Yu is such a scheming guy that in order to win over the Ji family, he even married a widow as a concubine. He really has no respect for his reputation at all.
He actually wanted to marry her, but unfortunately Ji Tongfu only had one legitimate daughter who was famous in the capital. He was one step behind Jing Yu, and no one else he could marry would be as good as Ji Yunhuan. In the end, he was one step behind and let Jing Yu take advantage.
Ji Rongyue knelt on the ground, revealing what she thought was the most beautiful profile, and cried, "I was persecuted by my elder sister and fled from home. I don't have any maids or servants. Where do I get any proof?"
"I dare not lie to the Second Prince. My father is the former Prime Minister Ji, and my biological mother is Aunt Li. Aunt Li is the only concubine in the mansion. I have two younger brothers. The Second Prince will know once he investigates."
The second prince finally became interested, and he really found a treasure. It turned out that this girl was not the daughter of a side branch, but Ji Tongfu’s biological daughter!
He naturally knew that Ji Tongfu had a concubine, but he didn't know how beautiful this concubine was. No matter how hard he tried, Ji Tongfu never took anyone into his house.
Since she is a favored concubine, this concubine must have weight in Ji Tongfu's heart.
The second prince helped Ji Rongyue up personally. She was dressed exquisitely, it seemed like newly tributed Suzhou embroidery, which she had been awarded from the palace. The jade bracelet on her wrist was of excellent quality. She must be favored to wear such expensive clothes.
The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. He gently wiped the tears from Ji Rongyue's face and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. If what you said is true, I will make the decision for you."
Ji Rongyue nestled in the Second Prince's arms, soft and boneless, and sobbed, "Thank you so much for your compassion, young master. I will rely on you for my whole life."
Jing Yu didn't expect that this concubine's daughter was so stupid, so stupid that she would walk into a trap and seek her own death.
Countless women died in the Second Prince's mansion, but the Second Prince didn't care at all. Even if they were daughters of important officials, once they entered the Second Prince's mansion, they would die. With the emperor's favoritism, no one dared to say anything.
I don’t know how much Lord Ji values this concubine’s daughter. It would be a troublesome matter if she really entered the Second Prince’s Palace.
Jing Yu thought for a moment, and finally stood up and stopped the Second Prince. "Since she is a girl from the Ji family, she should be sent back. She has no name or status, so why did Second Brother take her away?"
When the Second Prince saw Jing Yu trying to stop him, he became even more convinced of Ji Rongyue's identity. Not only did Jing Yu marry the legitimate daughter himself, he also wanted to give the concubine's daughter to his lackey. Fortunately, he was caught by him.
He won't let Jing Yu succeed.
The second prince put his arm around Ji Rongyue's waist and said affectionately, "Miss Ji and I fell in love at first sight. Once we have expressed our feelings, I will naturally send Miss Ji back to the Ji family safely. Third brother won't have to worry about it."
Chen Peng stood beside the Third Prince, his hand already touching the scabbard. The other side had more people, but he was not defeated.
He felt it was not worth it to conflict with the Second Prince just for a woman like this.
Good words cannot persuade a damned person, so just let this woman die!
Ji Rongyue was afraid that she would be sent back and lose the great opportunity to cling to the prince. She lay in the second prince's arms and said loudly: "I am willing to go with the second prince. I am his person in life and his ghost in death. I don't want to go back to the Ji family to suffer."
Ji Rongyue pushed Jing Yu and complained, "Third Master has a cruel heart. It's fine if you don't want to help me, but are you going to capture me and send me to die?"
Jing Yu waved his hand, signaling Chen Peng to leave.
He bowed his hands disrespectfully and sneered, "The good night is short, I won't keep you any longer, second brother."
The second prince wanted to get close to these people, but as soon as Jing Yu opened his mouth, everyone else shouted to see him off. He could only snort coldly and leave with Ji Rongyue.
The next day, the emperor issued an edict, appointing the third daughter of the Ji family as the concubine of the second prince.
The Ji family had two princes' wives. Although they were not the principal wives, one was a widow and the other a concubine's daughter. They both became concubines, which was also a great favor from the emperor.
Ji Tongfu had no choice but to bring his wife and daughter back home to receive the order. After some twists and turns, he finally figured out the whole story.
Ji Rongyue was always accompanied by maids and nannies, but she took advantage of the time when she went to the toilet to escape through the window, and bribed a nanny who did rough work, hid in a packed box, and made her way to Mulan Paddock.
After failing to seduce the Third Prince, Ji Rongyue immediately threw herself into the arms of the Second Prince. They made love all night, and many people knew about it.
The mother's family of one of the Second Prince's concubines was involved in the Fugui Gambling House case, so the concubine committed suicide out of shame, leaving a vacant position which was given to Ji Rongyue.
After the emperor issued the eunuch's decree, Ji Rongyue followed the eunuch who announced the decree back to the Ji family. Instead of meeting her father and stepmother first, she went to Aunt Li's courtyard.
Ji Tongfu suppressed his anger and sent the eunuch who announced the decree away in a gentle voice, and then his face darkened.
"Go! Go and invite the third girl over!"
Soon, a woman's laughter was heard outside.
Ji Rongyue was wearing a peach-red skirt with gold embroidery and her hair was full of golden hairpins. Her pearls and jade swayed as she moved, sparkling brightly.
Aunt Li came in shortly afterwards, also wearing bright clothes. She looked even more adorned with jewels than Madam Ji in the room, and her eyes were full of pride.
A large group of palace maids and eunuchs rushed in and gathered around Ji Rongyue. They were all from the prince's mansion. They felt superior to others when they were outside and did not take the servants of Ji's mansion seriously at all.
The eunuch gave Ji Rongyue enough face, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "The concubine is here~"
The servants in the yard were quite dissatisfied, but they could only kneel down and salute. Even the old housekeeper in the mansion could only kneel down tremblingly.
Everyone said in unison: "Greetings to the Concubine."
Ji Rongyue was shaking with excitement. She had finally waited for this day. From now on, no one in this mansion would dare to look down on her. She had finally made it!
She pointed at the old housekeeper and ordered arrogantly: "Evacuate everyone in the aunt's yard. From now on, the aunt can go wherever she wants. If you try to stop her again, watch out for your head!"
