"Old lady!"
Liu Xinyue somehow spit out the sweat towel stuffed in her mouth.
She shouted sternly, "It's my aunt. She wanted to reconcile with her so much that she made the Marquis so angry that he passed away!"
The old lady said angrily: "You are full of nonsense!"
She was suspicious and her eyes flickered.
She knows best what the daughter she raised is like.
The old lady knows that Yan Shuangshuang is arrogant and domineering.
He only does things and talks for his own pleasure, and basically has no scheming at all. The old lady also knows this.
It is not completely impossible to say that Yan Shuangshuang said something that made his son angry.
But the old lady defended her shortcomings. She felt that her daughter was aggrieved by being sent back by her husband's family.
Even if you do something now, why don't you, the eldest brother, be tolerant?
[Hey, mother, which one do you think the old lady prefers more? 】
Ji smiled.
"Aunt Liu is going to pour dirty water on my aunt by mistaking Master Hou's condition?"
She spoke coolly, and the old lady's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right!"
The old lady hurriedly continued, "Shuangshuang stayed with me last night, and she didn't go back to Shaoyaoju until I fell asleep. Where's that maid, Magpie? Didn't she say that Hongfei wasn't feeling well last night? Already?"
Ji gave Li Rui a wink.
Li Rui went out and brought the magpie in.
Magpie's whole body trembled.
"Magpie, tell the old lady again what you said to me last morning."
The old lady had a straight face and tapped her cane on the ground, "Speak quickly!"
The magpie shrank, but did not dare to lie, so he said it again.
At this moment, Yan Hongfei had fallen asleep after getting the needle.
No one can defend Liu Xinyue.
What's more, she had no excuse. Yan Hongfei had indeed been feeling uncomfortable since yesterday.
Liu Xinyue did not dare to look into the old lady's angry eyes, but prayed in her heart that Yan Hongfei would wake up soon.
At this time, she sadly discovered that in this prince's mansion, except Yan Hongfei, she had no one to rely on.
The corners of Ji's mouth curled up slightly, looking indifferently at Liu Xinyue biting her lips to endure the humiliation.
If you do your own evil, you will not live.
If she hadn't stopped Yan Hongfei halfway to Taohuawu last night, today's blame would never have fallen on her.
Yan Jiaojiao still didn't quite understand.
Is all this a coincidence or Ji's careful arrangement?
But no matter what it is, Yan Hongfei's disease will not do any harm to Ji.
Then Mr. Ji walked over, helped the old lady up, and persuaded her softly, "Don't be angry. I have to say this from the bottom of my heart, my aunt is a bit squeamish. She has been aggrieved these days, and sometimes she spoke a little too hastily. Yes. But I don't believe that she has any evil intentions."
The old lady nodded repeatedly, patted the back of Ji's hand, and agreed with a rare kind tone, "It's better that you understand Shuangshuang."
"Yes. The most important thing right now is to treat Mr. Hou. Once Mr. Hou is well, our family will be well, right?"
"I have to take care of the children, and I have to be busy taking care of the affairs of the Marquis's house. I'm afraid that the Marquis will not be clean. Aunt Liu... I don't worry about asking the Marquis to stay here. In my opinion, Aunt Gu is more careful. I feel relieved to leave Mr. Hou in her care. Originally, Mr. Hou was going to Yuzhu Garden yesterday - if he hadn't been stopped by Liu, his condition would not have been delayed. "
Mr. Ji said a lot, and after listening to it, the old lady felt that Ms. Ji was always thinking about her son, so she had no objection.
"If you have nothing else, I will ask someone to send the Marquis to Yuzhu Garden? This is the first priority. There are also matters related to the Wang family, which cannot be delayed. I heard from the Marquis that they want to send my aunt If you go to a nunnery to be a sister-in-law, you have to take a concubine for your uncle."
The old lady took a breath.
What the Wang family did was even more cruel than divorcing their wife.
She wasn't good at dealing with these things either. She covered her forehead with her hand and looked like she was about to faint.
"Good boy, your sister lost her father when she was a child. She is a pitiful one. As your sister-in-law, you should love her so much! Looking at the Wang family, Hongfei can't come forward, and you can rely on you to help both of them. Support me!"
When she thought that she, a mother-in-law, would lower her head and say nice things to her daughter-in-law, the old lady suddenly felt sad and her face turned red.
She took out the arm that Ji was holding and called two maids to help her, "Ouch, I have a bad headache."
A bunch of voices asked the maid to help her back to Chunhui Garden to lie down. When she reached the door, she turned back to Ji and told her, "Go back and see your sister, so that you can comfort her. She is feeling miserable."
Mr. Ji nodded and watched the old lady leave with peace of mind.
When people left the room, Ji turned around and her smiling gaze fell on Yan Hongfei, who was sleeping on the bed.
Gu Qiushui had already stood up from Yan Hongfei's bedside and stepped aside respectfully.
"The Marquis will take care of you later."
Mrs. Ji called Magpie, "Where did Mrs. Liu put the things I gave to Aunt Gu yesterday?"
Magpie glanced at Liu Xinyue secretly, then lowered his head and pointed towards the makeup box.
"Go take it out and give it back to Aunt Gu."
Mrs. Ji is not a fool. A set of purple pearls is nothing to her, but if sold in Jinlou, it is worth hundreds of taels of silver.
To Liu Xinyue?
She is so beautiful.
Magpie didn't dare to go at first, but Li Rui pushed her and had no choice but to crawl over, opened the makeup box, took out the brocade box containing the hair and face, and handed it to Gu Qiushui.
Gu Qiu Shui did not refuse, and blessed Ji with a smile, "Thank you, madam, for the reward. Don't worry, Qiu Shui will take good care of Mr. Marquis."
Ji nodded, "I can rest assured that you are doing your best."
Several women were called in and Yan Hongfei was properly sent to Yuzhu Garden.
Then, he looked at Liu Xinyue who was tied up.
Liu Xinyue looked away.
[Hey, you are actually so arrogant. 】
After watching the excitement, Yan Jiaojiao felt that Mr. Ji would not let Liu Xinyue go just like that.
What a good handle this is. After this scourge is dealt with, they can live their lives with peace of mind.
But Ji obviously has no intention of beating the fallen dog.
She looked down at the embarrassed Liu Xinyue for a while and shook her head.
According to the news her eldest brother sent back from Jiangnan, the Liu family also came from a scholarly family and had been officials for generations. Liu Xinyue's background is not bad.
The eldest daughter of an official family ended up being a concubine.
This cannot be said to be a bad hand played with a good hand.
"Ms. Liu, it's fine if the Marquis gets better this time. If there's anything going on with the Marquis, just make plans."
"What's your plan?" Liu Xinyue originally wanted to be arrogant and ignore Ji. But after hearing what Ji said, he couldn't help but ask.
"Don't forget, you sold yourself to the Marquis Mansion."
Ji seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"From now on, you'd better pray every day and ask the Marquis for a speedy recovery. Otherwise, I will sell you and your daughter. You can guess whether the Marquis will still protect you at that time."
"you!"
Liu Xinyue's eyes darkened, this woman Ji!
