The people present were all people in the harem and the house, so they naturally understood the meaning behind the eldest princess's words.
Ji Yunyao's kneeling caused a stir in everyone's hearts.
Suspicion is one thing, but reality is another.
By kneeling down, she admitted that she was not the one taking care of Mrs. Ji in the past.
It also shows that the previous praises for her being a lady and being extremely filial were all jokes.
Princess Duan remembered what she had just praised Ji Yunyao, and now she felt very sad.
The eldest princess's face became even stiffer: "Ji Yunyao, are you admitting that the person who used to take care of Mrs. Ji was Ji Lingxiao?"
Listening to the eldest princess's suddenly cold tone, Ji Yunyao's hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists, but her eyes were still full of tears, looking pitiful.
"Every mistake is Yunyao's fault. Yunyao was too ignorant. She thought that my grandmother was able to gradually recover because of my care, but she didn't expect to take away the credit from her brother."
"Yun Yao never thought about taking the credit for his brother. It was just that when he came to visit, it happened to be daytime, and my brother didn't want to see people during the day. So by some strange combination of circumstances, Yun Yao didn't see his brother, and she was stupid. I don’t know sign language and can’t communicate with the mute woman. I thought I was the only one taking care of her..."
"Sister is right. Yunyao met nobles such as Princess Duan and Princess Duan every day. She felt like old friends at first sight and admired her in her heart. Yunyao also wanted to be such a person, so she often went out to socialize and discuss Buddhism. That's why she didn't wholeheartedly Taking care of my grandmother caused such a disaster.”
As Ji Yunyao spoke, she sobbed softly, crying so hard that she looked like she was blaming herself.
Hearing Ji Yunyao's words, Ji Wanrong sighed greatly in his heart, because her words were so powerful that they were really wonderful.
In the face of the facts, she couldn't quibble, so she replaced "care" with "visit", and directly admitted that she had taken the credit for Ji Lingxiao, and described this "replacement" as an unintentional mistake.
Finally, he admitted Ji Wanrong's question and said that he did not take care of his grandmother often because he admired Princess Duan and the eldest princess.
Not only did he please them, but he also made it impossible for the eldest princess to blame her.
There is such an opponent, her cheap father was blinded by lard, spoiled his concubine and killed his wife; the original owner and his brother could not compete with the two of them, it was simply too normal.
Sure enough, both Princess Duan and Ji Chengde believed in Ji Yunyao, and their expressions immediately softened after hearing this.
Jing Zhaoyin, who had been silent all this time, saw his eyes turned in the direction of the bed: "May I ask the old lady, is Miss Ji Er telling the truth?"
Ji Yunyao's heart tightened again.
After hearing this, Mrs. Ji slowly opened her eyes, but there was no expression on her face.
She gestured towards Ji Lingxiao.
Ji Lingxiao saw it, paused, and then said: "Grandma said that she was groggy during the day and didn't know anything. Maybe someone came to visit. Now she is tired and wants to rest."
Mrs. Ji's words were just as Ji Wanrong expected. The family scandal should not be made public. Now that Mrs. Ji has calmed down, in order to save the face of Nanyang Hou Mansion, she can only deal with it behind closed doors.
"What about the person who poisoned me?" Jing Zhaoyin asked again.
Mrs. Ji closed her eyes and said nothing.
Ji Chengde then laughed: "Ling Xiao and Yun Yao are both filial people and good children of this prince! If Ji Wanrong is cleared of suspicion and the pills are not toxic, then... they are probably from Wutong Garden. The servant made the wrong medicine. Your Majesty will send one of your servants to check tomorrow and it will be fine."
When Ji Wanrong heard this, he sneered in his heart.
This is Ji Chengde's attitude. In the past, she was accused of poisoning, and Ji Chengde killed her relatives. Now that the suspicion fell on Ji Yunyao, he said that there was no one who poisoned her.
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy drug Lin Wenrui gave him.
Since Mrs. Ji said she was tired, there was no reason for anyone else to stay here.
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Seeing that Ji Chengde had said this, Jing Zhaoyin was about to leave, but the eldest princess spoke again.
"Today, I came to Nanyang Marquis Mansion to appreciate the Buddhist scriptures excerpted by Miss Ji Er. After seeing what happened today, I suddenly felt that sincerity is the spirit. If you have evil thoughts, the Buddhist scriptures in your hand will not accumulate virtue, but commit sins."
"Words are empty, and a person needs to be down-to-earth. Therefore, this princess specially returns this Buddhist scripture to Zhao, intact, and returns it to Miss Ji Er."
When the eldest princess said this, she had no expression on her face. She handed the Buddhist scripture in her hand to the maid beside her, then turned and left.
She said it politely and pleasantly, but Ji Yunyao heard the deeper meaning.
The eldest princess simply didn't believe what she just said.
If the eldest princess abandons her, from now on, no one will dare to touch her blessing, and the Buddhist scriptures she copied will become a piece of waste paper.
Ji Yunyao looked at the eldest princess's leaving figure in fear, without saying a word, and big tears rolled down her face.
After the eldest princess left, the rest of the people no longer wanted to care about the affairs of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, and hurriedly followed her away.
After all the outsiders had left, Ji Lingxiao's clear voice slowly sounded: "Grandma wants to call people from Duke Zhou's mansion to take care of her."
In fact, Ji Lingxiao still had nothing to say. The grandmother called none other than the powerful cousin from the Duke's mansion. In addition to the cousin, she also called five strong men.
Duke Zhou's Mansion is Mrs. Ji's natal family, and Duke Zhou is Mrs. Ji's biological brother. He has had a good relationship with Mrs. Ji since he was a child. Before Mrs. Zhou's stroke, the two families had frequent contacts.
As for the cousin of the Duke's Mansion, although she has not yet left the cabinet, she has learned to manage the back house and preside over the middle court since she was a child. She has dealt with several concubines who were pampered and arrogant for her mother neatly and neatly. She is a very powerful character.
The people from Duke Zhou's palace intended to train her to be a prince's concubine.
It was just that after Mrs. Ji suffered a stroke, Lin Wenrui took charge of the family. The people in Duke Zhou's palace looked down on Lin Wenrui's petty family style, so they gradually stopped interacting with her.
After hearing this, Ji Chengde frowned slightly and hurriedly walked to Mrs. Ji's side: "Mother, there are so many people in our Nanyang Marquis Mansion, and Yunyao Wenrui can come to take care of you, why do you have to ask outsiders to take care of you? "
Mrs. Ji, who had kept her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes after hearing these words.
She stared at him without saying a word, her eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
Then Mrs. Ji raised her hand high again.
Ji Chengde reflexively covered his face and jumped up from the bed: "Okay, okay, Duke Zhou's Mansion, if you want, let the people from Duke Zhou's Mansion take care of you!"
When Lin Wenrui heard this, she had a bad feeling in her heart. Today's events were beyond her control. Fortunately, the old lady was still ill and could not speak.
She didn't want outsiders to get involved in the affairs of her Nanyang Marquis Mansion, especially Mrs. Ji's people.
She walked to Ji Chengde's side softly, grabbed Ji Chengde's sleeves, and tried to comfort him: "Master Hou, if outsiders come, I'm afraid it won't be easy to manage my house. It's better to find a few more maids from the house to serve me." …”
Before Lin Wenrui finished speaking, Ji Chengde impatiently moved his hand away.
What happened today made him lose face. He was in a bad mood and had a bad temper: "Mother thought, what can I do? You are the good daughter you taught me!"
After saying this, he left without looking back.
Ji Yunyao's face turned a little pale again.
It was getting late, Mrs. Ji closed her eyes to rest again, and Ji Wanrong couldn't hold on anymore after being tormented by such ups and downs today.
She summoned iodine and white medicine from the space, put them in Ji Lingxiao's hands, and told him that she would come again to treat him and his grandmother tomorrow day.
When Ji Lingxiao nodded, she walked out tiredly.
Mo Jiecheng followed Ji Wanrong without saying a word. There was no expression on his face and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Just as Ji Wanrong stepped out of the house, he heard a pitiful female voice.
"Brother Jiecheng, I want to talk to you, is that okay?"
Ji Wanrong turned his head and saw Ji Yunyao, looking at Mo Jiecheng's back with tearful eyes, looking lonely and pitiful.
