Chapter 861: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 3
Xu pretended to be surprised, "How did you, a girl from the boudoir, get to know Mr. Chu? Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words, so don't go astray."
Ji Yunhuan felt a breath floating beside her, which made her feel a little chilly. She was afraid that she had seen a ghost, but strangely, she was not afraid at all.
Compared with the people in the mansion, this ghost seems kind and amiable, except that he talks more.
Ghosts are not scary, what is scary is the human heart.
[Well... I have said everything you taught me. What should I do now? I can't invite Master Chu to come, and I can't explain the relationship between him and me. I was supposed to be beaten with 20 blows, but if you make a scene like this, my father will really beat me to death...]
Yun Ye suddenly felt that he had a great responsibility, and he didn't believe that he couldn't save this woman today!
[Do as I say, and you won’t die! ]
Ji Yunhuan was pulled by two maids and could barely stand. There was a pool of blood on the ground. She bit her lip. She was already breathing heavily and looked very weak without any pretending.
"Father, please allow me to report that Master Chu and I are innocent and have never done anything out of line. Last year, I went to the outskirts of Beijing with my stepmother to worship Buddha. I don't know how I got separated from my stepmother. Only Mixue was with me. We got lost and unknowingly reached the next hilltop, where we ran into Master Chu."
"Master Chu was accompanied by a beautiful lady, and they behaved very intimately. I wanted to avoid her, but the lady seemed uncomfortable, so I stepped forward to help her. Master Chu felt sorry for the lady and was quite grateful to me."
"Later, I stayed in a nunnery for one night, and then rented a carriage to return home. My father also knew about it."
Apart from today's banquet at the Duke's Mansion, this was the only place where she could interact with Chu Feiyi.
Her stepmother intended to harm her, and it was unclear whether she wanted to push her off the cliff or destroy her innocence. Fortunately, she was alert and escaped far away. She stayed in a nunnery for one night and returned home safely.
Chu Feiyi had indeed been to that mountain, but probably not on that day, so she didn't run into him.
The ghost next to me really has a talent for making up stories. What about the talented man and the beautiful woman falling in love at first sight, and Mr. Chu can't forget her? This kind of reason can never be used.
Ji Changmao didn't believe it at all. "Even so, why didn't you mention it in the first place?"
Ji Yunhuan seemed to find it difficult to speak, as if she was forced into a corner and then slowly said: "That girl wore the clothes of a nunnery and molested a nun. After all, it is not a glorious thing. These words came out of my mouth today and entered my father's ears. Don't mention it again, so as not to upset Master Chu."
"If it weren't for proving my innocence, I would never dare to disturb Master Chu. Let Mi Xue go and invite him. If she can really be invited, it means that my father has established a relationship with Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion."
Xu tried her best to dissuade him, "It's just a small matter, how can you alarm the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion? I think Yun Huan also knows that he is wrong, so let's forget about it today."
She only hated herself for not succeeding at the beginning, and instead let Ji Yunhuan and Chu Feiyi become friends. Fortunately, it was not a love story between a man and a woman. Even if she could become a concubine in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, this bitch was not worthy!
Ji Changmao, however, had an idea. He didn't care whether Ji Yunhuan was wronged or not, but if he could really invite Chu Feiyi and establish some relationship with Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, it would be helpful to him.
"In that case, there's no harm in giving it a try! Kneel down in the ancestral hall and reflect on your actions. Let your maid go and invite him. It would be best if she can. If you dare to lie to me, I will not forgive you!"
Ji Changmao flicked his sleeves and left, and Xu followed him out.
Mi Xue was finally let in. She threw herself beside the young lady, crying with heartache.
Ji Yunhuan whispered something in her ear. Mi Xue wiped her tears and choked up, "But Miss, you don't even know Mr. Chu. Will he really come based on these few words?"
Yun Ye floated above Ji Yunhuan's head, feeling particularly confident.
[Listen to me, it's all done. Hey, don't cry with the maid. Trust me, it will be fine! ]
Mi Xue found a few cushions to put on the ground, but unfortunately the young lady was covered in wounds and couldn't even lie down. She could only sit down with difficulty and lean against the wall to save some energy.
"Miss, don't worry. I will definitely invite Master Chu to come. Even if it costs me my life, I will beg him to come."
It was not until dusk that Yun Ye felt that he was about to faint from the pain! But he couldn't faint, the pain was excruciating.
Tired, hungry, in pain and sleepy, the feeling was simply one of the ten tortures. Every day felt like a year. Yun Ye had never suffered so much in his life until he was sixteen!
His father had taught him a lesson, but at least he remembered to call a doctor, apply ointment, and sprinkle Ma Fei San on his wound like it was free. How could he be in so much pain?
[Chu Feiyi, you bastard! Why haven't you come yet? Hey! Wake up, it's over! It's not painful, is it?]
[Ahhh… someone come! This woman has fainted, someone come! Hurry and get a doctor!]
"It's so noisy!" Ji Yunhuan finally managed to fall asleep for a while leaning against the wall to relieve the pain in his trembling body, but this ghost was so noisy and annoying!
[You're not dead? Then hurry up and call for help. If you continue like this, you'll really die! ]
Ji Yunhuan was very aware of his body. He knew that he couldn't die, but he couldn't live a good life anyway.
She suppressed her irritation, licked her dry lips, and said angrily, "It's useless. No one will come without my father's order. Just bear with it."
With a creak, the heavy door opened, and the two sturdy maids who were holding the whip walked in.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yun Ye started to run, but when he was about ten feet away from Ji Yunhuan, he was pulled back by an invisible force.
Nanny Wan picked up Ji Yunhuan and said with disgust, "The master asked the young lady to reflect on herself, but you were so good at hiding that you almost fell asleep while reflecting."
"I don't know what kind of shit luck I have, Master Chu really came and asked to see you. Maybe your lies have been exposed, and Master Chu is going to punish you, a liar who is full of nonsense!"
"Okay, let's not waste time." Nanny Kang pulled Ji Yunhuan to the next room. "She can't show herself to anyone in this state. It seems as if our family has treated our concubine harshly. Madam is a kind-hearted woman. You should dress her up and send the eldest daughter to meet the guests."
Two maids were already waiting in the room, holding clothes and jewelry.
With a ripping sound, the bloodstained coat was torn off. Ji Yunhuan cried out in pain, a layer of cold sweat already seeping out of his forehead.
Nanny Wan said impatiently, "What are you yelling about? Forget it, just leave it like this. It won't be noticeable if you wear it inside. Put on your outer clothes and go out like this."
The maid put rouge and powder on Ji Yunhuan, using bright red rouge to cover her pale lips, and pushed her to the front yard.
"Miss, you know what to say and what not to say. Come in!"
Nanny Kang instantly put on a respectful expression and helped Ji Yunhuan through the corridor and into the guest hall.
Xu came over and took Ji Yunhuan's hand with a loving look on her face, "Yunhuan is here, why are you so ignorant? The guests are here, and you are still choosing clothes in the room, why don't you come and meet Master Chu."
