Chapter 124: My Husband’s Family Can’t Stop Me, I Want to Marry in Style

Old Madam Ji's body was hunched over and her eyes were no longer as clear as before.

Looking at Ji Qingwu, it seemed like he was looking at someone else.

"Ever since your third brother passed away, I have to see off a young person. My body has been getting weaker day by day. Your father is still serving in Yongcheng, and there are only a few children left in the Ji family."

Ji Qingwu just comforted her softly: "Grandma, don't be too sad. Everyone has their own destiny."

Madam Ji continued, "Qingwu, Grandmother has had many questions these days, but I just want to ask you one question now, do you plan to enter the palace as a concubine?"

A ray of light emerged from the old lady's cloudy eyes.

Entering the palace as a concubine... Did Madam Ji learn something or see through something?

Ji Qingwu thought that he would answer this question as he did before, without any hesitation.

But she was in deep thought for a moment, and she knew clearly what Madam Ji was planning.

Under the other party's almost staring gaze, she still shook her head and said, "I don't want to."

If the old lady and the empress dowager had known that Yuan Heng was her son, they would have sent her to the Phoenix Palace at night with great fanfare to consolidate the Ji family's favor.

Madam Ji really didn't know the inside story of this matter.

The last light in her eyes slowly faded away.

Ji Changlin was transferred to Nanchu and his return date was unknown. There was no one at home to rely on.

After experiencing the pain of losing their grandson, Madam Ji and the Empress Dowager also became estranged. If Ji Changyan and Prince Yong had not been hanging out together all day, he would not have developed such a lawless character and done such a disaster that affected the family. He must have an inescapable relationship with Prince Yong behind the scenes.

Now, her health is getting worse day by day, and the Ji family is in urgent need of someone they can rely on.

Through these incidents, Old Lady Ji guessed that the emperor might value this granddaughter to some extent.

But seeing that Ji Qingwu refused straightforwardly, Old Madam Ji thought about it and decided that since she didn't want to enter the palace, it didn't matter.

The old lady sighed and said, "Qingwu, grandma knows that you have your own ideas and will not force you, but you have to think about your marriage."

Ji Qingwu didn't expect that the topic of wanting her to enter the palace could be revealed so easily.

She said meekly, "Thank you, Grandma."

Madam Ji used her hands to help herself up on the couch and continued, "A while ago, the old lady of the Li family, the Grand Secretary of the Palace, came to deliver a letter, saying that she wanted to find a girl that suits her third son. The third son of the Li family is currently serving as the Minister of Public Administration, a high position, and there are no concubines in the family, so he can comfortably become the mistress of the house once he enters the house."

There is no point in talking to her about matters concerning the women in the inner chamber.

Ji Qingwu pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth, and nodded, "Grandmother will help the Li family to take a good look at him."

Madam Ji said, "Mr. Li is a high-ranking official. It is a blessing to marry into such an upright family."

There are only five first-rank officials in this dynasty. The Li family is indeed outstanding and not an ordinary family.

Ji Qingwu was surprised and asked, "There is such a good marriage?"

Madam Ji looked at her and said, "Qingwu, Grandmother thinks this is also a good marriage. Do you have any ideas?"

Ji Qingwu has been home for so long, but this is the first time that Old Madam Ji has taken the initiative to arrange a marriage for her.

First, she asked her if she had any intention of entering the palace, and then talked about the third son of the Li family.

Coincidentally, this Grand Secretary was the one her grandmother, Old Lady Qiao, had mentioned before, the one who jumped over the moat for her when they were young. She also took the opportunity to hear her grandmother talk about some rumors about Grand Secretary Li's family.

Ji Qingwu had a gentle smile on his face, but there was no emotion in his eyes.

"My fourth sister is one year older than me. Why didn't grandma leave it to her?"

Madam Ji's expression froze for a moment, and she said, "For such a good marriage, Grandmother thought of you first. You also know that Qingyuan is determined to enter the palace and has a deep affection for the emperor. She doesn't care about other men at all. It's useless for me to tell her."

"Has grandma told Madam Li about my situation?" Ji Qingwu asked with raised eyebrows.

Madam Ji smiled and said, "The Li family is open-minded. They also said that a widow with a child is good at giving birth. They are very happy to have one. You will enjoy a good life if you marry into their family. They won't let you suffer at all."

Ji Qingwu put away his smile, looked directly at the other person with his bright eyes, and said, "The Li family is really an open-minded family. I wonder if grandma has heard that the third son of the Li family does not love Nu Jiao'e, but loves Long Yang. Marrying such a person is only glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, not only will you be a widow, but you will also be ridiculed by others. Is this what grandma calls a good marriage?"

Being exposed in front of her, the old lady's face darkened.

Ji Qingwu saw that her reaction didn't seem like she had just learned the truth, but rather that she had known it for a long time, and her heart completely turned cold.

She stood up and said coldly, "Grandma, please don't worry about my marriage."

When Madam Ji saw her getting up to leave, her voice became hoarse due to the sudden rise in pitch.

"Your last name is Ji, and you have the blood of the Ji family in your body! Don't think you can do anything by relying on your mother and your maternal grandparents. As long as I am still in the Ji family, I don't agree with you getting married! No matter what kind of people your husband's family is, don't even think about marrying!"

After yelling, Old Madam Ji continued to cough and gasp. As long as she was around, she would hinder Ji Qingwu from getting married. As long as she didn't give in, they could keep on fighting.

When Nanny Feng heard the noise, she came in from outside and hurried to the couch.

"Madam, you are not feeling well, how can you get so angry? Miss Fifth is so ignorant, why are you so ignorant? Apologize to the old lady now."

Ji Qingwu stood at the door, with a slender figure, and looked back at the old lady on the couch.

A smile appeared on her lips again.

"Grandma, take good care of yourself and wait for your granddaughter to find a husband you can't stop or hinder. I will definitely marry her in a grand manner."

Three days passed in a flash.

Yuchi Lianping has been very busy these days. He knows what is important and what is not, and always puts military affairs first in everything.

Only this morning, when he was about to go to the battle, while it was still dawn, he sacrificed his sleep time and took the time to return to the Princess's Mansion.

He pushed open the door of the main house. Layers of gauze covered the figure of the woman on the bed. He lifted them up layer by layer and walked in.

Princess Huachang has not been sleeping well these past few days and has been waking up several times during the night.

When she opened her eyes dazedly, she saw a magnified black face staring at her. No matter how well-educated she was, she couldn't help but scream.

The maid outside the door rushed in and lit the candle.

Princess Huachang then saw clearly who the man was who was leaning against the bed with his arms folded.

She closed her eyes and suppressed her temper: "Get out."

The maids lowered their heads and left the room.

Princess Huachang gritted her teeth and said, "You get out too."

Yuchi Lianping did not move, as if he would never see her again, staring at her with almost greedy eyes.

"Princess, I will be leaving for the North in an hour. Are you happy?"
