Chapter 220: Ruthless and cold-blooded, murderous intent gradually arises
Xiang Zhu took out a visiting card and said, "Madam, someone sent a visiting card saying they want to visit you."
Ji Chuhe took the visiting card and smiled coldly when he saw the content on it.
"Ma'am, who is it?" Dong Ling asked with a puzzled look.
Xu Yan'er also walked in from outside and said in surprise, "How could there be someone in the imperial capital who is familiar with Madam? And he even sent a visiting card to the Duke's Mansion."
"You two also know this person." Ji Chuhe put the visiting card on the table.
Xu Yan'er picked it up and took a look, then said in surprise: "It's Ji Qingyuan!"
"Ji Qingyuan? Madam's stepsister? Why is she in the imperial capital?" Dong Ling was even more shocked.
"Madam, do you want to see her?" Xiang Zhu asked in a low voice.
"No see." Ji Chuhe spat out two words coldly.
"I'll go and reply to her right away." Xiang Zhu took the note and walked out quickly.
"How dare Ji Qingyuan come to see Madam on her own initiative?" Dong Ling was puzzled.
Xu Yan'er couldn't figure it out either.
Ji Chuhe remained calm and did not speak to explain the confusion to Dong Ling and Xu Yan'er.
The fact that Ji Qingyuan came to the Duke's Mansion regardless of everything was enough to show that her intimidation of Ji Qingyuan had worked.
Ji Qingyuan was scared and thought of this way to protect herself.
Ji Qingyuan thought that she could contain her by spreading the word about their relationship.
It seems that Ji Qingyuan has gone through some things and his skills have indeed improved.
Being so high-profile was exactly what she wanted, and she was afraid that Ji Qingyuan would not dare to fight back.
She had been investigating Concubine Xu in the Huaiyang Palace for such a long time but had not found anything. She had to find out what was the reason why the Huaiyang Palace was implicated and the entire family was executed in the previous life!
In her previous life, Ji Qingyuan was in the Huaiyang Palace, without favor, power, and was not well-received. After being imprisoned, Ji Chuhe specifically asked for information about Ji Qingyuan's interrogation.
Ji Qingyuan really didn't know anything. She didn't even know how she died. She just kept crying out for injustice!
She also believed that at that point, Ji Qingyuan really didn't know the reason. The Ji Qingyuan she knew couldn't keep any secrets!
In her previous life, she also thought that the Huaiyang Palace was conspired for treason and that was why the entire family was executed, and the Huaiyang Palace had nothing to do with her.
This life is different.
Huaiyang Palace is her home, and her father and mother are her relatives!
She would never allow Huaiyang Palace to repeat the same mistake!
In the previous life, my mother suddenly fell seriously ill, and my father accompanied her to recuperate for a long time. In the end, my mother passed away, and that’s when the royal palace began to suffer!
If my mother had not passed away in my previous life, perhaps the confiscation of property and execution could have been turned around!
She simply didn't believe that her mother was sick. Someone must have murdered her!
At that time, Ji Qingyuan was in the Huaiyang Palace. If she was not put in solitary confinement, there would be some disturbance.
She just wanted to get everything that Ji Qingyuan knew in the previous century from her.
……
Ji Qingyuan was standing at the gate of Duke Rong's mansion waiting.
The old woman and maid behind her were trembling with fear.
"Madam, shall we go back?" the maid advised in a low voice.
"What are you afraid of? Don't you believe that I'm the Crown Prince's wife's sister?" Ji Qingyuan deliberately raised her voice.
People passing by couldn't help but stop.
I was thinking: Who is this person? How dare he act so wildly in front of the Duke's Mansion!
"I am really the Crown Prince's wife's sister!" Ji Qingyuan shouted again.
"She is the Crown Prince's wife's sister?" someone exclaimed.
"Is it the Crown Prince's wife who came from Huaiyang?"
"Nonsense, who else could be the wife of a prince outside the gate of the Duke of Rong's mansion?"
Just when Ji Qingyuan was feeling proud of herself for coming up with such a good idea, the small door on the side of the Duke Rong's Mansion slowly opened and Xiang Zhu walked out.
"Did my sister invite me in?" Ji Qingyuan asked deliberately.
Xiang Zhu returned the post to Ji Qingyuan, "My wife doesn't see guests."
"How can you be so cruel, sister, that you don't even want to see me!" Ji Qingyuan asked pretending to be sad.
Xiangzhu immediately turned around and left.
"Forget it. Now, I am just the wife of a small seventh-rank recorder in the city defense office. Sister naturally looks down on me." Ji Qingyuan sang a one-man show to herself.
Shen Chengjing walked towards this side quickly, and when he saw Ji Qingyuan's figure, he was scared to death!
"Ji Qingyuan!" He shouted angrily, walked forward and pulled Ji Qingyuan away.
"Shen Chengjing, what are you doing! Let me go!" Ji Qingyuan struggled.
"Are you looking for death? This is the Duke Rong's Mansion, and you actually dare to cause trouble here!" Shen Chengjing wanted to raise his hand and slap Ji Qingyuan.
However, the surrounding environment did not allow him to do so.
He could only pull Ji Qingyuan back as soon as possible.
I'll give her a good beating when I get back!
"I just want to see my sister and repair my relationship with her. I haven't done anything illegal!" Ji Qingyuan retorted righteously.
"If you dare to show up at the Duke of Rong's mansion again, I will break your legs and divorce you!"
"Shen Chengjing! If you dare to divorce me, I will expose all your past deeds in Huaiyang to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion! Let's see if your official career can continue!"
Shen Chengjing let go of Ji Qingyuan. Ji Qingyuan thought he was scared and walked forward.
Shen Chengjing looked at Ji Qingyuan's back, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
Little did they know that every move of the two of them did not escape Rong Song's eyes.
When Xiang Zhu went to reply Ji Chuhe, Ji Chuhe was already making clothes for the child with Dong Ling and Xu Yan'er.
She was responsible for drawing the patterns, Dong Ling was responsible for cutting, and Xu Yan'er was responsible for embroidery.
Among the three of them, the one with the best embroidery skills was Xu Yan'er.
Ji Chuhe kept Xu Yan'er because he was afraid that she would have more wild thoughts.
In fact, she could understand Xu Yaner's situation.
If her most profitable shop suddenly changed hands, she would definitely not be able to sleep!
"Madam..." Xu Yan'er hesitated to speak, with a trace of embarrassment on her face, but she couldn't help but speak, "Is the prince very busy recently? He said that he would come to see me when he has time."
"If he didn't come, it means he is not free. Aunt Xu, you should just get over it during this period of time. When we return to Huaiyang, the prince will have more time to accompany you." Ji Chuhe advised softly.
She couldn't force Xu Yan'er not to worry about Xiao Yan'an.
Besides, the two of them have become much more restrained in their clinginess since arriving in the imperial capital.
"I understand." Xu Yan'er replied with her head down.
Mianzhu was helping out on the side, and when he heard these words, his feelings were indescribable.
Are other people's mistresses and concubines like this?
I always feel that there is something weird between the mistress and the concubines in their family!
"Madam." Xiang Zhu walked in again.
"What? That Ji Qingyuan is here again?" Dong Ling blurted out.
"No, no, it was the prince. He asked Tianxi to invite the lady to the front yard. The prince is playing the game of pitching pots with the young masters in the front yard, and the three young ladies have also gone to join in the fun." Xiang Zhu said hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Ji Chuhe put down the pen in his hand.
Dong Ling felt sleepy and couldn't help yawning, preparing to get up and leave.
"Madam!" Xu Yan'er suddenly spoke, but hesitated to speak.
Before she continued, Ji Chuhe guessed what she was going to say next.
"Aunt Xu, please come with me. Dong Ling, you go back and rest." Ji Chuhe said softly.
"Yes!" Dong Ling and Xu Yan'er immediately responded in unison.
