Chapter 374: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 117
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Ji Rongyue was accidentally hit in the sore spot and burst into cursing in anger.
"How dare you! I am the Concubine! How dare you scold me? Do you believe that I will kill all your clans?"
"That peasant Kong Liang begged me to marry him, but I looked down on him and scolded him out! How could I not know what kind of person Kong Liang is? He is so poor, where did he get so much money?"
Before the waiter could speak, people around him started talking at once.
"Mr. Kong is now an official. He must be rich!"
"No, that's not the case. Officials only get a small salary. I heard that it was Master Kong who investigated many corrupt officials. His Highness the Third Prince thought he had made great contributions and rewarded him with a hundred acres of good farmland."
"I heard that he was awarded a house, but Lord Kong often lives in the Imperial Censorate and is too busy to go home."
"Oh, you don't understand. Minister Zhao's house is closer, so he can just live directly at his father-in-law's house..."
The guy was too lazy to pay attention to a female beggar and went in after handing out the food.
As soon as Ji Rongyue came out of the alley behind the Penglai Restaurant's kitchen, he was blocked by several beggars. Not only was his food stolen, but even the change he had on him was taken away.
The people around pretended not to see anything, and no one went to ask the people from Penglai Restaurant to seek justice.
Normally they wouldn't dare to steal things randomly, but this fool angered everyone, so he deserved to be taught a lesson.
The old woman held the steaming buns in her arms and spat at Ji Rongyue before leaving, "Shameless thing, are you hysterical? Can Confucius look down on you? Take a piss and look at yourself, you toad want to eat swan meat, hahahaha..."
Ji Rongyue climbed up by holding the wall, feeling so angry that his teeth were itching!
Compared to the dissolute Wu Lang, she looked down on Kong Liang even more. Why could Kong Liang marry Miss Zhao?
She was right to call Kong Liang a sinister villain. Kong Liang was just a lapdog. He stayed in the Ji family and refused to leave because he was attracted by the Ji family's power.
Now Kong Liang has married into the Zhao family again. He must want to rely on Minister Zhao’s support to seize the Zhao family’s wealth!
Ji Rongyue's stomach was empty; the two steamed buns had been digested long ago. She could have had a full meal, but because of Kong Liang, her food and money were robbed.
The huge hatred gave Ji Rongyue strength again. She decided to go to the Shangshu Mansion and ruin Kong Liang's marriage and let the world see Kong Liang's true face!
Ji Rongyue didn't know how long she had been walking. She always took a car when she went out before and didn't know the way very well. She asked as she walked and finally saw the Zhao family's mansion.
The moon quietly climbs up the branches, emitting soft silver light, shining on the world, with lights on in thousands of homes, and families reunited under the full moon.
The Zhao family was watching the moon in the yard. Zhao Baozhen drank a few glasses of fruit wine and stuffed mooncakes into Kong Liang's mouth with a giggle, making Kong Liang's face turn red. She was so happy that she bent forward and backward.
Jade came in quietly and whispered something in the young lady's ear.
Zhao Baozhen frowned. During the day, Sister Ji had indeed sent someone to tell her that Ji Rongyue had somehow left the Prince's Mansion, and asked her to be careful.
She didn't take it too seriously. Sister Ji would definitely send someone to keep an eye on her. She was already doing her best by not attacking the man when he was down. Ji Rongyue actually dared to come to her, so don't blame her for being rude.
Zhao Baozhen went there with high spirits and high morale.
Ji Rongyue was invited to a side hall. She reported her identity and the servants of the Zhao family did not dare to neglect her. They led her in and sent someone to ask for instructions from their master.
At this moment, Ji Rongyue regained some of her style as a concubine, ordering the servants of the Zhao family to help her dress up, and finally she looked like a modern lady.
The servants didn't know what to do, so they all listened to the arrangements of this "concubine".
Zhao Baozhen entered the side hall and stared at Ji Rongyue for a long time, somewhat unable to believe that this was the third young lady of the Ji family.
She had met Ji Rongyue several times before. Every time, she was dressed in jewels and acted more domineeringly than a legitimate daughter. She was not as miserable as she is now.
Zhao Baozhen couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Oh, my goodness, the Concubine has come to visit us. I'm so sorry for not welcoming you! The Second Prince is still in prison. Why are you running to the Zhao family instead of serving him well?"
Ji Rongyue had just wolfed down a plate of pastries and finally filled her stomach. She held the teacup and wanted to pretend to be sipping tea, but she accidentally finished the whole cup of tea.
She signaled to the maid next to her to pour tea, but the maid rolled her eyes. It was obvious that the young lady didn't like this concubine, so she was too lazy to serve her!
Ji Rongyue glared at the maid fiercely, but did not dare to lose her temper in front of the Zhao family. She could only stand up, pour herself a cup of tea, and swallow it down in one gulp.
She felt like she was finally alive. She raised her head slightly and tried to act like a prince's concubine.
"The Second Prince is only temporarily under house arrest. He will be out sooner or later. I am the prince's concubine, so it is my duty to return to the Ji family to visit my relatives. I just came out of the Ji family and passed by the Zhao family. I came to look for you."
Zhao Baozhen sneered, not giving Ji Rongyue any face at all.
"I don't know what the Second Prince is like, but you definitely can't enter the Ji family. Don't pretend in front of me. You are just a stray dog. I want to hear what you can bark out."
"You...you are so outrageous! How dare you call me a dog?" Ji Rongyue was so angry that she wished she could tear Zhao Baozhen's mouth apart.
Looking at Zhao Baozhen's fair and transparent face, gorgeous clothes and headdress, hatred and jealousy intertwined together, almost driving her crazy.
"What are you so proud of? You are just an orphan girl. When Minister Zhao is gone, you will be helpless and helpless. You will be like meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others!"
"Do you think Kong Liang really likes you? He just wants to use your father to climb up the social ladder. He covets your family property and wants to eat up all your wealth. You got cheated but you're still feeling smug, thinking you've found a treasure. Bah! You're only worthy of picking up things I don't want..."
With a bang, the hot teapot hit Ji Rongyue on the head. The scalding tea mixed with blood slid down. Ji Rongyue's body shook twice and fell straight down.
"Ah!" Feicui screamed, and immediately went over to hug the young lady's hand, yelling, "Quick, quick, quick! Call a doctor, young lady, you are too reckless. What a big deal, you have to do it yourself? What if you get hurt?"
"If the Madam knew, she would definitely scold me for not taking good care of the young lady. In the future, please don't do this kind of rough work. Let me do it. I'm very fierce when I hit people!"
Zhao Baozhen's head hurt because of Feicui's noise, so she covered Feicui's mouth with her hand.
"Don't make a fuss, and don't disturb my parents. I'm fine! If you make another fuss, I'll deduct your monthly salary!"
Feicui heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the young lady's hand was intact. She opened her big eyes and nodded vigorously.
Zhao Baozhen was still not satisfied after knocking the man unconscious. She kicked Ji Rongyue on the ground and sneered, "Don't play dead. You bastard, how dare you stir up trouble in front of me!"
"If you sincerely come to Aliang to apologize, maybe I can show mercy and give you a chance to live. But now, you are seeking death, so I will grant your wish!"
