The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 16
The whole body of the crystal clear jade pendant, with the word '恩' engraved in italics in the middle, is Ji Chongen who lives in the mansion.

Ji's family produced a few Jinshi, but they didn't do much.Ji Xiangyun's father, who won the first prize in the examination, served as the magistrate of Jiangdong outside, was exiled for thousands of miles because of corruption and bribery, exploited the people, died of illness on the way, and left behind two siblings.

The older sister, Ji Xiangyun, entered Gong's residence and took refuge in the old lady.The younger brother Ji Xianghong was weak and sick, and was placed outside, and died of illness within a few years.His wife Huang dropped their two-year-old child and ran away with others.

At this time, Ji Xiangyun had already married Gong Yuanshan as his concubine. He took pity on his elder brother's orphan, so he took him into the mansion to raise him as a son.

The mother is poisoned and musk may cause infertility, and the only person who benefits is Ji Xiangyun.And Ji Chongen killed Shaoyao because of Aunt Ji.

But is that really the case?
Gong Qinglan smiled lightly, if she had never lived her life again, she would definitely believe that it was Ji Xiangyun who did it.But she happened to have experienced it once, so she naturally knew that Ji Chongen was not as harmonious with Aunt Ji as he appeared on the surface.

Turning around to look in the direction Ji Chongen left, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a crescent moon behind him, which made Gong Qinglan's heart skip a beat and almost exclaimed.

"You...you want to scare people to death?" Gong Qinglan stared at the elusive man while holding her heart beating in panic.He muttered, "Why don't you make any noise when you walk?"

Qi Jingfeng looked at her dodging eyes as if he was guilty, and smiled lightly: "It's late at night, it's not safe outside." His eyes swept across the well with drops of water dripping from the mouth of the well.

Gong Qinglan closed her eyes, what did he know?

"I know it's late at night and the dew is heavy, so I don't know how to put on an extra layer of clothes." Gong Qinglan looked at him with reproachful eyes when he looked at his thin clothes.She held his hand, as expected, it was cold.

Qi Jingfeng didn't seem to know that she deliberately changed the subject, and followed her words: "It's not very cold." He didn't let go of the hand that held her.

Gong Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyebrows curved, and he led her from a secluded path to her unmarried boudoir.

Seeing the bright lights ahead and the noisy noise, his heart sank, and he frowned and said, "What happened?" She had been guarding by her mother's side all the time, and Qi Jingfeng went back to her courtyard to sleep.Now she is silently following her, but her courtyard is in chaos, so she has to let her think about it!

"Go and have a look." Qi Jingfeng's eyes were deep and cold.

Gong Qinglan walked over quickly, the louder the noise became clearer as he got closer.

"Master, Ya'er was hungry and knelt in the ancestral hall and copied the internal training and women's rings. She didn't dare to delay and gave it to her elder sister. Who knows... Who knows that she has been underestimated! In this courtyard, apart from the eldest lady and the eldest son-in-law , only the servant girl is keeping watch at night...if...if something happens to Ya'er, concubine...concubine will die!" Aunt Ji shouted sharply, and at the end, she covered her face and wept bitterly.

Gong Qinglan couldn't help sneering, it turned out that this was Ji Xiangyun's goal!
There were only her and Qi Jingfeng in this courtyard, and the rest were maids on duty. What they said was nothing more than an allusion that Qi Jingfeng took advantage of Gong Qingya!
"You haven't been bullied by her?" Gong Qinglan looked Qi Jingfeng up and down, could it be that she went looking for her because she knew she was being tricked?

Qi Jingfeng was startled, and glanced slightly, his thick and curly eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his clear face.The thinned lips were pursed tightly, and she did not speak, but the corners of her mouth curved upward.

Gong Qinglan was slightly taken aback, was she being taken advantage of, or was she protecting her innocence?
"You came to me because you wanted to avoid disaster?"

Qi Jingfeng remained silent, looking at her gently.There was a faint light of water in those slender eyebrows and eyes, which made his stern face extremely soft.

Gong Qinglan found that his facial features were delicate and attractive, especially those eyes, which looked at you intently, as if you were the only one left in his eyes, which made people's heart beat involuntarily.

My heart softened a little, and said: "Wait, no matter what they say, you should keep silent."

When the two walked into the courtyard, they saw Gong Yuanshan's pale face, guiltily hugging Aunt Ji who was crying and about to die.Gong Qinglan's eyes fell on Gong Qingya who was sitting on the side, with her skirt parted slightly and her hair in a disheveled bun, like a delicate flower that had been ravaged by a storm, sobbing miserably.

When Gong Yuanshan saw the two of them, his face was gloomy, and he scolded, "It's so late, where have you been?" His eyes were piercing on Qi Jingfeng like the tip of a needle.

He already had a daughter married to Qi Jingfeng, and he would definitely not marry another one.However, such a ridiculous thing happened tonight!
She stared at Gong Qinglan reproachfully, she has only been married for three days, and she can't control her husband!Sneaky sneaked into the house!
"Father doesn't know that mother has fallen ill? We just waited for mother to sleep, and we came back to rest." Gong Qinglan widened her eyes in surprise, and seeing Gong Yuanshan stunned, she rejoiced: "Fortunately, my husband invited Chen's residence from Yanbei Palace. The doctor came to the house, and the treatment was timely, and the mother is fine."

Gong Yuanshan was a little embarrassed, he spent the whole afternoon coaxing Aunt Ji in Qinxiang Garden, how did he know the news about Luoxia Garden?

"Why didn't you inform me?" Gong Yuanshan lacked confidence and didn't want to tear face with his eldest daughter.Since he was dismissed by impeachment, he has been idle at home, earning some money by renting Xiashanzhuang to noble scholars to open poetry clubs.Recently, I heard that the higher-ups have issued a paperwork to reinstate the old staff.If he wants to be an official again, he has to be recommended.And his eldest son-in-law happened to be King Yanbei's nephew, and with this relationship, he was sure of everything.

"Hong Yuan went to look for her father, but was stopped back." Gong Qinglan sneered inwardly as she watched him put on a fatherly look.She asked Hong Yuan to find him, but she asked him for red ginseng.

Aunt Ji happened to be scheming about Qi Jingfeng, so she would try every means to keep them overnight, so she would naturally refuse Hong Yuan's request to see her, wishing that Qin Shi would die of illness in bed.

Gong Yuanshan's face was ugly, and he glared at Aunt Ji. Aunt Ji cried hoarsely, Gong Yuanshan's heart softened, and he patted her on the shoulder distressedly.

Gong Qinglan's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't care, and said with a light smile: "It's so late tonight, what's the matter with father bringing people to the daughter's courtyard?"

Gong Yuanshan was a little bit guilty at first, seeing that they went to the Qin family, it was hard to shame him, not to mention that he still had something to ask, so he said with a pale face: "It's okay, your second sister has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for a long time, and her legs are swollen. Soft, accidentally knocked."

"Didn't you be treated lightly?" Gong Qinglan was puzzled.

"Where it is, it's knocking on the door."

Aunt Ji pinched her palms tightly with her fingers, resentment flashed in her eyes, she raised her eyes and said with tears in her eyes: "Master, so many people here have heard and seen, why do you have to cover for others? This is disgraceful, and I also want to You need to calm things down. How can you stop your mouth from talking to other people? If Ya’er is not given justice, how will the Gong family gain a foothold in Yanbei if the news spreads?”
