Chapter 871: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 13
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started to make a fuss.
"Brother Zhao is so affectionate! I see that the Second Miss speaks up for justice, which shows that she also appreciates Brother Zhao. Isn't this a good match?"
"Although there is a rule of seniority, she is just a concubine's daughter. How can she suppress the legitimate daughter and not let her marry? Don't you think this is the truth?"
"Tsk~ The Second Miss is unparalleled in appearance, but that illegitimate child is not presentable, looks petty, and is not worthy of Brother Zhao!"
Those scholars had already discussed this with Zhao Wenyuan, and were determined to help him win over Ji Shiting. Naturally, they followed Zhao Wenyuan's wishes and tried their best to discredit Ji Yunhuan in order to make this marriage happen.
They respected the clothes first and then the person. They could only see Ji Shiting's jewels and Ji Yunhuan's face was sallow, which was totally inferior to the radiant Ji Shiting next to her.
[They are so blind! You are obviously 10,000 times prettier than Ji Shiting! What did you put on your face? It's yellow.]
Yun Ye felt sorry for Ji Yunhuan, but was afraid that Ji Yunhuan would be really sad, so he tried to make Ji Yunhuan happy.
[These people are not as good as Shen Shen, none of them are worthy of you! Don't be envious, what good things can the Ji family have? I wrote a letter to Qingsong to buy you clothes and jewelry. When are you going to leave the house? ]
[Immortal, you took advantage of my sleep and used my body to do whatever you want! You pretended to be the prince to write letters and even spent his money. What if you get caught? ]
[No one will find out! The prince is locked up at home and can't come out. Qingsong only recognizes handwriting and secret codes. It's just a small amount of money. There's no need for the prince to show up. Qingsong can do it. Don't worry! ]
Ji Yunhuan was very satisfied. If the immortal was unwilling to give her this little money, how could she expect the immortal to help her get revenge?
She had suffered for many years, and God finally gave her a glimmer of hope. No matter if it was by lying or begging, she had to seize this rare opportunity!
Xu always scolded her for being cunning, and she was not wrong. But if she was not cunning, she would have died in the backyard long ago.
The wronged ghosts of the Bai family often appeared in her dreams in the middle of the night. The hundreds of families who were drowned in Yongxing Village were like a mountain pressing on her heart. Even if she died, she would drag Ji Changmao to be buried with her!
[What's wrong with you? Why are your hands shaking so badly? Just treat them as farts. Don't be angry. Your good days are still ahead. This immortal will escort you and ensure that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life, with no worries about food and clothing.]
Ji Yunhuan took a deep breath to calm her surging hatred. The immortal felt the same way as her, so she couldn't let the secret show.
[Thank you for your comfort, Immortal. I feel much better now. I will be fine once I let it go. My stepmother is very strict. I will find a chance to get out as soon as possible and will never let you down.]
Yun Ye was also very satisfied with Ji Yunhuan's attitude. He eagerly gave gifts to Ji Yunhuan because he felt sorry for this woman. He wanted this woman to dress up beautifully and smile happily.
If I refuse out of fear, he will be unhappy.
Zhao Wenyuan was still showing his deep affection, shedding tears on the spot, with true feelings.
"I have always admired the teacher's deep love for his wife. If I can marry the second lady, I will have no regrets in my life and will never take a concubine again!"
"Please believe in me, teacher and madam. I will work hard to earn a good future and bring honor to the Second Young Lady! I lost my father when I was young. Once a teacher, I am a father for life. I respect you as if you were my father. As long as you have something to ask me to do, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Ji Changmao was deeply moved. It is said that a son-in-law is half a son. His biggest regret in life is that he has no son to take care of him in his old age.
When he was socializing in official circles, he naturally had his share of flirtations, but he didn't dare to keep a mistress. None of the women he favored got pregnant, and he was afraid that he would have no offspring.
Ji Changmao helped Zhao Wenyuan up personally. If what Shi Ting said was true, Zhao Wenyuan was really a good son-in-law.
He patted Zhao Wenyuan's arm, burped, and said cheerfully: "Okay, okay! Since you are sincere, I will..."
"Master!" Xu came over to support the master, wiped his face with a warm towel, and brought him a bowl of sobering soup.
"No matter how happy you are, you must take care of yourself. You can't talk about anything tomorrow. Go inside and take a rest. Don't stand in the wind. Be careful not to get a fever."
After being interrupted like this, Ji Changmao, who was already quite drunk, forgot what he was going to say and was helped by the servant to sober up.
Xu asked the servants to continue serving wine and food, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality, please enjoy yourself, Mr. Zhao, don't worry, as long as you are sincere, the master will definitely agree."
Zhao Wenyuan looked at Xu's leaving back, his eyes full of sinisterness. Ji Changmao almost agreed to him. It was obvious that Xu was vain and looked down on him!
Ji Shiting is deeply in love with him. He will marry Ji Shiting sooner or later. By then, the entire Ji family will be his. He has plenty of patience.
Turning to face Ji Shiting, Zhao Wenyuan put on an admiring and shy look, which caused everyone to make fun of him again.
From beginning to end, he never looked at Ji Yunhuan once.
Ji Shiting became more and more proud. If her mother had not tried hard to marry Ji Yunhuan to Zhao Wenyuan in her previous life, she and Zhao Wenyuan would have been a perfect couple.
Ji Shiting was pulled into the house by her mother. She complained unhappily, "Mom, why are you stopping Dad? Dad also likes Mr. Zhao and is about to agree."
Mrs. Xu poked her daughter's forehead and said, "What do you know? He doesn't know how to cherish things that are easily obtained. As a mother, I will naturally test him."
"Besides, the Zhao family has a complicated population, a difficult widowed mother, and many relatives. If you marry into the Zhao family, you will know how difficult life will be."
"The master doesn't understand the difficulties of the inner house at all. Naturally, I have to make plans for you. At least those two nameless children cannot be kept. They should be sent away or dealt with. It all depends on Zhao Wenyuan's sincerity."
Ji Shiting agreed, "I really can't keep her. I don't want to be someone's stepmother. I'd better kill her! I don't want to be like my mother, keeping that bitch Ji Yunhuan. She's an eyesore!"
After the mother and daughter had discussed it, Xu sent Nanny Kang to send Zhao Wenyuan out and gave him some hints.
Zhao Wenyuan was determined to do something to his own child. He would have children in the future, but he must marry Ji Shiting!
However, Zhao's mother was worried about her eldest grandson. It was hard enough for him to be raised in the countryside, and she couldn't bear to see him die, so she made a fuss about it and the whole Zhao family knew about it.
The Zhao clan members also followed suit and finally decided to record the two children under the names of other clan members, as if Zhao Wenyuan had never had these two children. Zhao Wenyuan’s original wife was also deleted from the family tree.
Xu also suggested that Zhao Wenyuan separate from the family and live on his own, and live near the Ji family. He could have frequent visits to the Ji family in the future. This was no different from marrying into the family's family. However, the Zhao family was counting on Zhao Wenyuan to support the family after he became successful, so naturally there was another big quarrel!
Ji Shiting hasn't even gotten engaged yet, but she has already offended all the Zhao family members!
