Concubine You Can't: The Evil Emperor Dotes on Qingcheng Concubine

Chapter 25
Leaving a way to meet again, Ji Zhuyu left.

On the way back, Xuetong couldn't help complaining: "Miss, it's obvious that you saved that person with all your might, and it's fine if he's ungrateful, and even insulted you, why do you still ask such a person to come to you?" .”

Ji Zhuyu smiled, and said indifferently: "As the saying goes, giving someone a rose leaves a lingering fragrance in your hand. I saved him on my own initiative, and it doesn't mean that he must repay his kindness. At that time, both mother and son were injured, so naturally they were not happy. Shun, it's understandable to say a few angry words, don't be so narrow-minded. And don't you think my experience with their mother and child is very similar?"

Xuetong knew that Ji Zhuyu must have remembered her marriage with Huo Qing, she had only heard about Huo Qing's tyranny from other people's mouths before, but no matter how vivid the words were, it was not as shocking as the real scene today.

Huo Qing is such a person, I don't know why the master wants the young lady to marry him, no matter how unfavorable the young lady is, she is still his own daughter!
Xue Tong only dared to say these words in her heart, and did not dare to say them in person to embarrass the lady, so she replied in a low voice: "How could it be the same? Miss is a person with ideas, and she will definitely find a way to cancel this marriage. will not fall into a miserable situation like the daughter of that family."

Ji Zhuyu looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "I have thought of a solution, but to cancel this marriage, their mother and son are the key figures, so it is not in vain to leave the house this time."

The master and servant talked and laughed, and they arrived at the back door of Ji Mansion not long after.

The back door is the place where the servants of Ji's family come in and out every day. It happens that Mama Zhao's nephew, Jia Sha, is in charge of guarding the back door, so the two of them got out of the house without any effort, and made an agreement with Jia Sha to remember to leave the door for them. .

The master and servant hid under an old locust tree, looked up and found that the door was ajar, and no one came in or out.

Only then did Ji Zhuyu let out a sigh of relief, knowing that Jia Sha must have taken care of it and was just waiting for them to go back.

Carefully pushed open the half-hidden door, and as soon as her feet stepped over the threshold, she saw Yang's mother standing in the backyard with a few wives with vicious expressions on their faces.

Mama Yang is the mother in charge of the Bai family's courtyard, the mistress of Ji's mansion. She has a high status in Ji's mansion. No matter who sees her, she is a person who wants to curry favor with her. Now she is standing here in such a big way, as if she has always been It's like waiting for Ji Zhuyu.

Ji Zhuyu's heart skipped a beat, followed by a bad premonition.

Xuetong was also quite frightened by this battle, she whispered to Ji Zhuyu: "Miss, we seem to have been discovered."

After seeing Ji Zhuyu enter the door, Yang's mother taunted: "Miss is having a good time, I finally know that I am going back home."

As the saying goes, you don't lose if you lose. Ji Zhuyu knew that the matter had been revealed, so she no longer kept it hidden. She replied: "Ji Mansion is my home, of course I will come back. What? Doesn't Mama Yang want me to come back?"

Mother Yang choked on Ji Zhuyu's words, her eyes flashed the color of the lunar calendar, and she said sinisterly: "Miss is really eloquent, but we will see if you can speak later. Come on, tell me Xuetong and Missy tie me up together."

The women took the orders and acted immediately, grabbing Ji Zhuyu and Xuetong with their backhands in an instant and controlling them.

Mother Yang smiled in satisfaction, "Take it away for me."

Although it was already night, the main hall of Ji Mansion was brightly lit and crowded with people. The two masters of Ji Mansion, Ji Mingde and Bai Shi, were sitting in front of the main seat, looking at Ji Zhuyu who was kneeling in the hall with expressionless faces.

The Bai family is dignified and beautiful, with a well-maintained face, showing no signs of age at all. She is dressed in a bright red satin, peony flower and intricate brocade clothes, showing the demeanor of the head of the house.And Ji Mingde next to him is also calm and majestic, exuding the unique charm of a mature man. Although his face is a little old, he can still peek out the handsome and unrestrained side of his youth from his facial features.

The Bai family looked at Ji Zhuyu coldly, and suddenly said: "Master, you have always attached great importance to the family style of the Ji family. This girl who has not been out of the cabinet is so ostentatious to wander out of the house. If it is spread, she will definitely be ridiculed by other families in Jinzhou City." .My lord, you have spent most of your life to build up the family style of the Qing family family, which will be destroyed by her, so how will the Ji family and her daughter marry in the future?"

Ji Mingde came from a poor family, and he was able to get into the first prize because of his hard study, and fortunately, the national teacher at that time, Ji Zhuyu's grandfather, appreciated him, and betrothed his first-line daughter, Ji Zhuyu's mother, to him.

However, he always cared about his poor family background, so he strictly demanded the servants in the mansion and his own daughter, forbidding to do things that insulted the family tradition, and severe cases were punished with a stick.It is under such cruel management that the Ji family's reputation is getting better and better, and its reputation is getting louder and louder.

The Eastern Zhou Kingdom still had a taboo against men and women. If a lady from an aristocratic family who has not left the court wants to go shopping, she must be escorted by a group of servants and a carriage. She cannot easily show her true colors, otherwise she will be undisciplined, and it will be difficult to get a good marriage in the future.

Ji Zhuyu sneaked out of the house knowing this rule, after all what she was going to do should not be known by more people.

Ji Mingde's face has been gloomy since Ji Zhuyu entered the door, and after listening to Bai's words, his face became even darker, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that I have indulged you too much recently, so I let you do such a thing that insults the family tradition. Come on, Xuetong is a first-class servant girl. Not only does she not know how to persuade her to do such a disgraceful thing to her family, she is really daring to cause trouble together. Take her to me, punish her twenty times, and then sell her out of the house.

"As for the eldest lady." Ji Mingde glanced at Ji Zhuyu, and said in a low voice, "Put her in the Huanxi courtyard, and don't let her leave the courtyard without my order."

Xuetong turned pale with fright, and shouted in horror: "Miss, help me." Twenty sticks?If these twenty sticks were really struck down, she would not survive.

Ji Zhuyu didn't want Xuetong to die because of this, she knelt on the ground, moved to Ji Mingde step by step with her knees, grabbed his clothes and begged: "Father, I forced Xuetong to go out together, it's none of her business." If you want to punish me, don’t punish her. She is a girl, and the twenty rods will kill her, father, please.”

Unmoved, Ji Mingde waved his hand and ordered: "Take Xuetong down to me for execution."

After finishing speaking, a servant stepped forward and grabbed Xuetong's hands, intending to drag her out. Xuetong shouted hoarsely: "Miss, save me, I don't want to die yet, miss, help me!"

It's a pity that no one cared about her feelings, the servants easily restrained her resistance, and dragged her away without mercy.

Xuetong's screams ravaged Ji Zhuyu's heart, making her feel extremely guilty.It was she who took Xuetong out on her own initiative, and she must not let her bear the responsibility alone.

"Stop, you can't take her away."

Ji Zhuyu sternly stopped the boy who was about to take Xuetong away, then turned his head, with firm eyes, and said word by word: "Father, if you drive Xuetong out of Ji's mansion, I will not even die about the Huo family's marriage." Yes."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
