Chapter 899: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 41
The wind direction in Shangjing City suddenly changed.
The eldest daughter of the Ji family is gentle and kind. She once saved the life of Prince Yun. She does good deeds without leaving a name, and keeps her achievements and fame to herself, never seeking repayment for any favors.
Prince Yun kept sending people to search for his benefactor, and finally found Miss Ji. Just when Miss Ji was in trouble, he sent people to rescue her. Miss Ji was innocent, and the people with bad intentions had been subdued long ago, without even touching a corner of Miss Ji's clothes.
The Shen family broke their promise and cancelled the engagement because of a few groundless rumors, forcing Miss Ji to have no way to live. Prince Yun was grateful to Miss Ji for saving his life and fell in love with her at first sight. The Duke's Mansion immediately offered to marry Miss Ji!
Everyone felt that Ji Yunhuan was really lucky. Marrying into the Shen family was already a high marriage, and now it was a blessing in disguise, becoming the Crown Prince's Consort!
Even if some people think that this story is too far-fetched and sounds like a fabrication, it is a fact that the Duke's Mansion offered a marriage proposal and Prince Yun fell in love with Ji Yunhuan. No matter what the reason is, the Duke's Mansion will protect Ji Yunhuan and no one dares to say anything bad about her.
Xu was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand, and the maids in the room fell to their knees on the ground.
Nanny Kang waved her hand and asked the servants to go out. The maid cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and left in a hurry, fearing that the lady would vent her anger on her.
Nanny Kang sighed and advised, "Now that things have come to this, Madam, please calm down and think of ways to remedy the situation."
"The steward who kidnapped the young lady died suddenly, and the two guards had their legs broken. I felt sorry for them, so I ordered someone to send them off together."
"It is not a pity that Huang Dazhuang died. Although he served the lady in the past, he was short-sighted, lazy, greedy and a gambler. He was kicked out long ago. Huang Dazhuang had lustful thoughts on his own, and it had nothing to do with the lady."
"The maid at the horse farm went crazy. She told everyone she was wrong and shouldn't have listened to the lady and murdered Ji Yunhuan. Haha~ A crazy maid whose words were not counted, fell into the well and died in the middle of the night."
Xu felt a little relieved, thinking that dead people were the safest. As long as she denied it, this matter would not be blamed on her.
"I just don't believe it. So many people saw it that day. Ji Yunhuan was disheveled and her reputation was ruined. Could it be that the Duke's Mansion could still confuse right and wrong? Even if she became the Crown Prince's consort, Ji Yunhuan would be a laughing stock in Shangjing City. The Crown Prince would never like such a woman!"
Nanny Kang poured a cup of tea for Madam and said helplessly, "Madam, please calm down. Who dares to go against the Duke's Mansion? Those people have changed their words and dare not publicize this matter anymore. Instead, some people say that Madam is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate a concubine's daughter."
"But don't worry, Madam. There is no solid evidence, it's just hearsay. The master will definitely believe you. It's just a rumor. It won't affect your status in the Ji family."
Xu took a sip of tea and sneered, "Every family in the capital has some troubles, but they are not publicized. I am the mistress of the house, so can't I discipline my concubine? Beating is love and scolding is care. It is good for the child to be strict."
"For such a small matter, my mother sent someone to scold me, saying that I shouldn't have been so ruthless. I didn't kill that bitch, so how could I be so cruel? I won't be allowed to go to the manor in the future. I don't want to go. Who wants to hold a banquet? Those who come are all faceless people. It's so boring!"
"Ji Changmao will never be promoted in his life. The fifth rank is a hurdle. He has no political achievements and no talent. How can the Xu family help him get promoted? The master is destined to be a fifth-rank official in this life, and so am I, but my Shi Ting must not waste her life like this!"
"May 8th is a good day. Shi Ting insisted on getting married on this day, so let's get married together. My Shi Ting is different from ordinary people. She has a precious fate and can dream about the future. If we change her marriage this time, she will definitely be rich and powerful in the future!"
The eighth day of May is a good day for getting married.
The Duke's Mansion went out to welcome the bride early in the morning, and they went around most of the capital city. The sedan chair was carried by eight people and arrived at the door of the Ji family with the sound of gongs and drums.
Ji Changmao did not show up at all and was sleeping soundly in the main courtyard. Today was Ji Yunhuan's wedding day and as a father, he would not go to see the bride off. He wanted to see if Ji Yunhuan had the nerve to do so and waited for Ji Yunhuan to come and beg him.
Mi Xue was able to walk around now, but Ji Yunhuan didn't let her do any work. Whenever there was something to do, he would direct the other three maids to do it and let Mi Xue have a good rest.
Mi Xue was so anxious that she was spinning around. "The Duke's Mansion is far away from the Ji family. We are almost leaving. If we delay any longer, we will miss the auspicious time. How could the master do this? On such an important day, he deliberately embarrassed the young lady!"
"Why not send someone to ask for favors? We can't let people make fun of us."
Ji Yunhuan was very calm. "Whether my father comes or not, the Duke's Mansion will marry me. If that's the case, why invite him? Face is the most useless thing. Living a good life is the most important thing."
Mi Xue always listened to the young lady, and calmed down after hearing that. "Young lady is right. If he doesn't show up today, everyone will know that he treats you badly. If he comes to us to beg for mercy in the future, we will ignore him, which will save trouble!"
After dressing up and putting on a red veil, Ji Yunhuan was escorted out by four maids. Xu did not show up either. The other servants in the mansion naturally listened to the mistress of the house and did not take any responsibility except opening the door.
The Ji family decorated the house with lights and colorful decorations, and bright red wedding characters were pasted on the doors and windows. The servants were also all wearing red, but these were all prepared for Ji Shiting's wedding.
To outsiders, it looked very prosperous and lively, and people from all over the street came over to see the bride.
The door opened, and Ji Yunhuan, dressed in red and wearing a phoenix coronet and bridal robe, walked out of the Ji family step by step with the help of her maid.
Yun Can was a little confused. His elder brother was unconscious and he was here to welcome the bride for him. Although he was young, he had participated in several weddings and knew that welcoming the bride would be a hassle. The bride's family would always stop him and send him off, and it could sometimes take a delay of an hour or two.
He was prepared to be troubled, so why did the bride come out like this?
The onlookers had never seen such a situation before, and the discussions became even louder.
"The Ji family really treats their concubine's daughter harshly. No one came out to see her off. Ji Changmao is also a fool. She has already married into the Duke's Mansion, so he has to pretend, right?"
"It seems that the rumors are true. Prince Yun is seriously ill and his younger brother even took care of his marriage. No wonder he wanted to marry the daughter of a minor official, just to get him married!"
"If you marry her, you will be a widow. Without the love of your husband, what use is a concubine of a lowly prince? It is normal that the Ji family does not value her."
Ji Yunhuan's face was hidden under the veil and could not be seen clearly. She just leaned slightly towards Yun Can as a greeting.
Yun Can quickly returned the gift. He got angry when he heard those people gossiping about him, and said loudly, "Since the engagement, my brother has woken up two or three times. He will definitely get better in the future. It shows that my sister-in-law is a blessed one."
"Sister-in-law, don't pay attention to these people. Bring the sedan chair over here and ask sister-in-law to get on it."
