Chapter 893: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 35
When Ji Yunhuan woke up, the Duke's Mansion came to propose marriage!
One hundred and eight loads of betrothal gifts stretched from the main street to the alley, so vast that there was no end in sight.
The Duke's Mansion was extremely grand, and the people who carried the betrothal gifts were all well-trained guards, all of whom were strong and sturdy, and walked with great vigor.
The market town where the Ji family lived was not very prosperous. It was inhabited by minor officials and wealthy businessmen. It was far away from the Duke's Mansion. The sound of gongs and drums along the way alarmed the entire Upper Capital.
Ji Yunhuan was sitting on an embroidery stool. She was wearing a jade-colored skirt embroidered with broken branches and piled flowers. It was an exquisite and intricate dress. It was a new product from Jinguang Pavilion and was too eye-catching, so she had not dared to wear it before.
Two maids combed her hair on her left and right, put on a white jade hairpin with eight-treasure pearls, and embellished it with a red gold and ruby hairpin, carefully drew her eyebrows and eyes, and put on makeup, for fear that she would show any sign of fatigue.
The wound on her forehead was also coated with medicine. It was not the kind of black and smelly ointment, but a delicate jade ointment with a light and elegant fragrance. It healed the wound, removed scars, and did not interfere with her makeup. At first glance, you couldn't tell that she had just been injured yesterday.
Aunt Kang pretended to be happy and said loudly, "The eldest lady has really soared to the sky and become a phoenix! Now someone from the Duke's Mansion has come to propose marriage, which is a great joyous event. The eldest lady is well-educated and sensible. She should know what to say and what not to say."
"Although you have been betrothed, you are still the eldest daughter of the Ji family. Please don't lose your sense of propriety and bring shame to the Ji family."
Nanny Wan followed behind with a wry smile, returning the things that had been snatched away yesterday to their places one by one.
The servant brought in a carved wooden bed, the maids spread a brocade quilt, the tables and chairs in the room were replaced and decorated with elegant furnishings, and the windows were covered with fine gauze, which was both breathable and translucent. The sun was shining brightly outside, and the room was bright.
Ji Yunhuan has lived in the Ji family for ten years, and today this place finally feels like the boudoir of a young lady from an official family.
Nanny Wan said with a smile, "After what happened, I was just doing a routine check and didn't find anything. I sent everything back to the young lady today."
"Miss, please take inventory. Is there anything missing? I will definitely replenish it for you. The Ji family has never treated the eldest lady unfairly."
Aunt Kang also chimed in, "Young Miss will still have to rely on her parents' family after she gets married. When you meet people later, you must be careful with your words and actions and don't cause any more scandals."
Nanny Kang is very careful in her work and has a dagger behind her smile. She is the one who benefits from Xu's side. Nanny Wan is cruel and ruthless. She does all the dirty work and is even more hated.
Ji Yunhuan was dressed up, and she looked radiant, which stunned Yun Ye.
Yun Ye was floating in the air, marveling at her. He had always thought that Ji Yunhuan was gentle and timid, and only suited herself with light and elegant attire. But it turned out that she looked quite different in such bright clothes with her hair full of pearls and jade. She seemed like a completely different person.
Ji Yunhuan stood up, stroked the poetry collection on the desk, and said calmly: "Nothing else is missing, I don't care much, but Nanny Wan destroyed my flowers yesterday, which are worth a thousand taels of imperial yellow."
Nanny Wan yelled, "Why is this flower so expensive? The eldest lady is trying to trick me! We are just offering a betrothal gift, don't be too proud. As long as you don't get married, you will still have to make a living under the Madam's care. We are giving you a chance today, don't be shameless!"
Ji Yunhuan was flipping through the poetry collection in her hand. The shadows of the trees outside the window fell on her face, revealing a sense of majesty without even showing any anger.
"You broke my things, and I am in the right when you make trouble in front of the Madam. Considering that you are an elder in front of the Madam, I will not punish you too much. I will only give you ten strokes of the board. After that, I will calm down and you will naturally behave well in front of the distinguished guests. When you get married in the future, you will also remember the kindness of the Ji family."
Aunt Wan screamed, "Bullshit! Who do you think you are? How dare you hit me? Bah! You may not even survive to marry him!"
Madam Kang grabbed Madam Wan and said sternly, "How dare you! What nonsense are you saying in front of the young lady? Someone, drag her out and beat her up so that the young lady can calm down."
The two servants dragged Nanny Wan out. They naturally didn't put in much effort to beat her, they were just pretending.
But Nanny Wan was also in great pain. She kept crying out "ouch, ouch" and cursing all the time, not saying a single nice word.
Ji Yunhuan didn't care much about it. This was exactly what she wanted. Now that people from the Duke's Mansion had come, she naturally wanted to take this opportunity to show off her power so that the servants in the mansion would not dare to bully her anymore.
[You are kindhearted, but ten strokes of the cane is not enough? If this happened in the Duke's Mansion, they would have just beaten him to death! ]
[Forget it, you are just so gentle and kind by nature. From now on, I will protect you and no one can bully you! ]
Ji Yunhuan walked out surrounded by her maids, with a smile on her face and brisk steps.
[Immortal, you are so amazing! I heard that it was the prince who said he wanted to marry me. I have never seen the prince and I don’t even know what he looks like. How did you do it? I thought I was dead last night, but when I woke up, the world had changed! ]
Yun Ye felt that Ji Yunhuan was really stupid. He had made it so obvious, but this woman still didn't know his identity.
It doesn't matter if he is a little stupid. Anyway, he is smart enough to protect Ji Yunhuan. He is really looking forward to what expression Ji Yunhuan will have when he knows that he is the prince. It must be exciting!
[The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. You only need to know that this immortal is unfathomable and omnipotent! ]
Ji Yunhuan praised and flattered not only the immortal but also the prince, and made the immortal completely obedient.
In the front hall, Xu was accompanying her. Nanny Nie looked very friendly. She drank a cup of tea and chatted for a while before meeting Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan greeted the guests politely. He looked radiant and radiant. He did not look as desperate as people said, as if he wanted to kill himself by banging his head against a wall.
Nanny Nie has already inquired about it. Ji Yunhuan's life must be very difficult because the Shen family broke off her engagement and she lost her reputation. It doesn't seem like Xu is a kind mother either. She is afraid of marrying a bitter-faced woman. With the prince being like that, if she marries another half-dead woman, life will be really hard for her.
She and Nie Ying had been good friends since childhood. She accompanied Nie Ying to Beijing, but she had no intention of getting married. After Nie Ying died, she combed her hair and became a nanny, managing Nie Ying's dowry and taking care of Yun Ye.
She sincerely hoped that the prince would get better soon. If marrying Ji Yunhuan could make the prince wake up sooner, she would like to take him back now.
Madam Nie took Ji Yunhuan's hand and praised her, "She is indeed a beauty. No wonder the prince fell in love with her and insisted on coming here to propose marriage. Time is short, so the betrothal gifts are a little meager. They are all left by Madam Nie. Don't despise them. I will prepare better ones for you in the future."
"I have something to say to you privately. Come over here and sit down."
Xu went out reluctantly. She wanted to leave someone at the door to listen, but the people from the Duke's Mansion drove them away and she could not hear anything.
