Chapter 393 The Ji Family's Good Daughter
"Madam, please don't cry. Crying during confinement will hurt your eyes."
Chun Xing handed over a handkerchief and wiped her tears.
Ji Qingrong asked, "Where is Qingwu with the child? I'll go check."
She felt that she was fine and wanted to get out of bed, but Chun Xing stopped her.
"Madam, please don't move. If you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period, you will be sick in the future."
Ji Qingrong asked anxiously: "Where is the child?"
"Madam, Miss Wu sent the child to the clinic, where a wet nurse is taking care of him. Miss Wu said that she is not at ease keeping the child in the Marquis' Mansion."
Ji Qingrong immediately felt relieved. Logically, she should have gone to her fifth sister's clinic to give birth. If her mother-in-law hadn't insisted on stopping her, she and her child should be being cared for in the clinic now.
Chun Xing helped Ji Qingrong lie down and tucked the quilt in for her.
Then he said, "The Fifth Miss also instructed that she would arrange a carriage to pick you up after you sober up."
Ji Qingrong asked, "Is Qingwu in the clinic?"
Chun Xing replied, "I don't know about that. Miss Fifth waited until Master and Madam came over from the Ji family before she left with the child."
"My parents are here?"
Ji Qingrong tried to stand up again, but was pushed back by Chun Xing.
"You should go to sleep peacefully. The master and the mistress are here. They just came to see you and then left."
Ji Qingrong stared at the carved door and asked, "Have father and mother left?"
Chun Xing said, "No, he is still at the gate of our yard, arguing with the Madam."
Ji Qingrong asked blankly: "Why are you at the gate of the yard?"
She understood why Ji's father and mother came to Cui to argue.
When she was giving birth, Cui stopped the servants in her room and did not allow them to go out to spread the news. She also brought a group of people to guard the door. It was a terrifying scene.
Once Qiao finds out about this, he will definitely ask for an explanation.
But if the two families want to talk, they have to find a place to sit down.
The Marquis' Mansion doesn't even give her parents this much face?
Ji Qingrong's face turned pale, and he asked, "Is the prince not back yet?"
Something big happened in the palace, and Lu Juan had already sent someone back to inform her, so he would not be returning home for the next few days.
Cui asked someone to pass on the message, but ever since the emperor was assassinated during his ancestral sacrifice, all the people on duty in the palace, whether they were imperial doctors or palace maids, had been replaced.
It is very difficult to get this message in.
Lu Juan may not know yet that his child has been born.
Chun Xing's eyes lit up and she replied, "Madam, Xiao Liuzi came back first to report that the adults had received the news and were on their way back from the palace."
Ji Qingrong felt relieved. As long as Lu Juan returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she wouldn't have to worry about this mess anymore.
But, at this time, who was going to deliver the message?
Ji Qingrong thought about it again and again, and finally said, "I am worried about my father and mother, so I will go out for a while. I am really fine now."
Cui was a very difficult person who could argue even if she was rude. She was worried that her family would be too reasonable and suffer a great loss.
Ji Qingrong ordered: "Go and get me the cloak and the headscarf."
Chun Xing did not move, and said, "Madam, please rest assured. There is absolutely no reason for the Ji family to suffer any loss today."
Ji Qingrong asked: "What does this mean?"
Chun Xing thought about what she had seen and heard today and said excitedly, "This time, thanks to the Fifth Miss being here, not only the Second Madam, but even the Madam Tai suffered a great loss."
Did both my second sister-in-law Feng Shuang and my mother-in-law suffer losses?
Ji Qingrong was surprised and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
Outside the courtyard.
There were two people standing and many people lying down.
Before, Ji Bolian and Qiao were in a hurry to check on their eldest daughter when they entered the house. In addition, it was dark, so they did not notice that there were a group of people lying under the tree at the door.
Sihai carried out Ji Qingwu's orders very thoroughly and even sealed these people's mouths with rags so that they couldn't even make a sound.
When Qiao walked out of the house, with an angry look on her face, she was about to ask Cui for an explanation, only to find this group of people at the door.
Qiao was startled, and even the knowledgeable Ji Bolian was surprised.
They had never seen this relative in such an indecent state.
A dozen old women had their hands and feet tied up. Cui, who was dressed the most gorgeously, was tied up with two ropes, which were the tightest.
Qiao turned around and looked at Ji Bolian. They both saw confusion and a bit of anger in each other's eyes.
The anger in their hearts had dissipated a lot.
Qiao walked over first and took the strip of cloth out of Cui's mouth.
She asked, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
The weather was cold and the ground was chilly. Cui was shivering from the cold, her lips were dry and pale, and she choked and coughed as soon as she spoke.
"It's all... you... you... the good daughter born in the Ji family..."
When Qiao heard this, she was extremely unhappy.
Qingrong gave birth to a child for the Marquis's Mansion and had both merit and hard work, but Cui was still so resentful.
"I haven't settled my account with you yet, but you're the first to complain. If anything happens to my Qingrong, I will fight you, the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, to the death!"
Cui didn't expect that she would be bullied like this in her own home. She was so angry that she cried and snotted.
"Your Ji family is a den of evil! With a mother like you, no wonder you raised so many—"
Mrs. Qiao stuffed the strip of cloth in her hand back into her.
"It's better to keep your mouth shut."
Ji Bolian nodded and said, "It's much quieter this time."
If it were usual, Qiao would still have some concerns, after all, Cui was the emperor's aunt.
But when Mrs. Qiao heard that her eldest daughter had suffered so much during childbirth and almost died, she was filled with anger.
Now, who isn't a royal relative? She is also the emperor's mother-in-law. In terms of closeness, Cui is nothing.
Qiao's back became much straighter.
At this time, Feng Shuang appeared on the path, limping, supported by her maids. She was crying and was about to go to her mother-in-law to complain.
From a distance, Feng Shuang saw two people standing at the gate of the courtyard. When she got closer, she recognized that the people standing there were from the Ji family.
There was no sign of Cui in the yard. The maid beside her screamed. Feng Shuang lowered her eyes and saw her mother-in-law lying under a tree, and the maids in her yard.
Feng Shuang looked up and asked in panic, "You, what did you do to my mother-in-law?"
"Is there still any law? How dare you kidnap the wife of the Marquis!"
Mrs. Qiao had already heard from Chun Xing what Qing Rong, her good second sister-in-law, had done, and was about to teach her a lesson.
But when he saw Feng Shuang's face, he stopped talking.
His face was bruised and purple, especially his forehead, which had a big bloody mark and the corner of his mouth was also broken.
Qiao and Ji Bolian looked at each other again. Have bandits entered the Marquis' Mansion? They also don't understand the current situation.
They decided to take their eldest daughter back first, and the two turned around in tacit understanding.
Feng Shuang endured the pain in her back and waist and shouted, "Come here, surround them all. No one can leave today."
