Silly Girl Allure

Chapter 88
"Tonglin, now that your parents are gone, what are your future plans? You still need someone to take care of your huge family business. My second aunt knows that you have never been interested in business, and you are busy marrying Zixuan. Bob can help you."

Thinking that the maid will return to her soon, Ji Tonglin is also in a good mood. Her second aunt saw the opportunity and started blowing wind in Ji Tonglin's ears.

"Of course, now I have no one to rely on except my second uncle. By the way, I haven't seen my cousin for so long since I came back."

"It's not like my cousin died of the plague, right?"

She spoke without restraint, because of Ji Tonglin's unintentional words, Ji Er's wife's complexion changed, as if she was very unwilling to mention this son.

"do not know……"

"Tong Lin, you just need to prepare for your wedding well, and your second uncle and second aunt are responsible for other things, so don't worry."

Isn't it strange that the mother doesn't know where her son is, and she speaks so coldly, but it's nice to see her treating that nephew Zixuan very well.

"Mrs. Ji Er, you are so kind to your niece and nephew, how can you be so cruel when it comes to your son?"

With a gentle face, she looked at Mrs. Ji Er with a smile on her face. Did this woman make it too obvious? Since she didn't hide it herself, Qiao Yunxi asked curiously.

"Forget it, that bastard, don't mention it."

As soon as her son was mentioned, Mrs. Ji's face darkened and she looked very unhappy. In short, she was very reluctant to mention her son now.

"Since Madam doesn't want to say it, it's not easy for us to ask again."

This woman is really strange. She obviously brought it up by herself, but she kept covering up and covering up when she spoke. She hesitated to speak. Isn't she sick? People cooperated with her and asked her what was going on. Isn't it just to attract people's attention by pretending to be hypocritical there?
"What are you talking about those unpleasant things? Look at my memory. I'm here to treat you to dinner."

"The prince and the princess have not greeted them well when they first arrived in the treasure land."

Looking at Qiao Yunxi and Bu Jingyu with a flattering smile, Mrs. Ji probably wanted to curry favor with these two dignitaries.

"No way, Tong Lin is our good friend, and it's less than a thousand cups of wine to meet a bosom friend, so I'm already happy."

This second Mrs. Ji was so courteous, Qiao Yunxi was not used to it, and suddenly thought of what Bu Jinghan was doing at this time, this damned man, how come there is no news at all until now.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either. Everyone said that surviving a catastrophe will bring blessings. I didn't expect it to be true. I actually got to know my sister."

Speaking of friends, Ji Tonglin was also very happy. She used to live in a boudoir, and with her family background, she had very few friends. Now that she is alone, she cherishes her friends even more.

"And the prince, Tong Lin, you can't do this, the prince is a noble person."

Every time Ji Tonglin spoke, she deliberately avoided Bu Jingyu, but when Bu Jingyu said that she was going to leave, she began to feel sad again.

"Hmph, there is her elder brother Zixuan in people's eyes, so there are no other men."

The words were also cold, and Bu Jingyu didn't speak in a good mood at this time. No matter how he thought about it, he wondered if this woman Ji Tonglin was too stupid, and he was thinking that she was afraid that this woman would be deceived by others.

"You, Second Aunt, you have also seen that this man can't speak at all. Did I really offend him in my previous life?"

I was very annoyed in my heart, how could this damned prince be so small, he would be unhappy after saying a few words.

"Lin'er, you can't talk to the lord like this, no big or small, so, no rules, you're going to get married soon, and you're so ignorant."

She glared at Ji Tonglin sullenly, Mrs. Ji Er was very upset that Ji Tonglin was like this, and it could be seen from her eyes that she didn't like this niece very much.

"Forget it, I won't bother with a woman, Mrs. Ji is still reasonable."

Looking at Ji Tonglin with his chin, Bu Jingyu didn't want to satirize Ji Tonglin in his heart, but the words he said were so ugly.

"Thank you, my lord."

"Please also have dinner in the front hall."

It's good that Bu Jingyu is not angry. It seems that this prince is not as bad-tempered as in the legend. He has a completely different temperament from other county magistrates. If it were normal, Ji Tonglin's life would be in danger.

"Okay, please, sister-in-law."

Bu Jingyu respected Qiao Yunxi the most, but she was the first. Although he knew that Qiao Yunxi was good at skills, he felt that this place was extremely dangerous, so he had to protect Qiao Yunxi in front of him.

"Well, let's go, Tonglin, let's go together..."

Under Bu Jingyu's guard, Qiao Yunxi dragged Ji Tonglin along, looking around, Ji Tonglin found that many servants around her had changed.

"Second aunt, have you prepared a medicinal meal today?"

Their Jifu is most famous for their medicinal food, which is the best combination of medicine and food, but that kind of medicinal food takes time to prepare, and it will only be served when distinguished guests come.

"Of course, you girl, I made your favorite chicken ribs stewed with ginseng. In the past two days, you have recovered from a serious illness and need to make up for it."

After straightening Ji Tonglin's loose hair, Mrs. Ji Er seems to love this niece very much, but there is no love in her eyes.

"Hey, it would be great if my parents were here, but unfortunately they can't eat such a good medicinal diet. Second Aunt, I want to see the corpses of my parents. I always want to see them before they are buried."

In the past, when Ji Tonglin was unhappy, her mother would use ginseng stewed chicken ribs to make her happy. At that time, the family of three enjoyed themselves happily, but now things are different, and the rest of them are so strange to Ji Tonglin. .

"Ma'am, the prince and I also came to visit Master Ji. I heard Tong Lin say that Master Ji is knowledgeable and talented. Unfortunately, we still can't see him because of fate. Why don't we pay our respects to Master Ji's remains."

Speaking of Ji Tonglin's parents, both Qiao Yunxi and Bu Jingyu felt the need to examine their bodies.

"This one……"

Originally, when Ji Tonglin said that she wanted to see her parents, Mrs. Ji's expression was unnatural, but when she heard Bu Jingyu and Qiao Yunxi said that she wanted to see her parents, she became a little flustered.

"You two, it's not that we don't want Tong Lin to see it with you, it's just that Tong Lin's parents died of the plague after all, and the coffin has been sealed now, so it can't be opened again, which is unlucky."

Seeing his wife's hesitation in speaking, Ji Junshang quickly took over the topic, and glared at her secretly, knowing that this woman really did more than fail.

"Second Lord Ji, the court has an order that anyone who dies from the plague must burn their bodies and not bury them privately."

Since the beginning of the dynasty, the imperial court has issued an order that after the plague patients die without medical treatment, the corpses must not be buried but must be cremated, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded. What Bu Jingyu said is the truth.

"Also, if a child's parents don't pay homage to their remains before they die, they are unfilial and unfaithful, and the world will not be ashamed of them."

It's too cruel not to let people see each other after they're all dead, and Qiao Yunxi also thinks it's wrong, and in ancient times, etiquette, justice, and shame were not the most important thing.

"We also know that, thinking about it, we thought Tong Lin died outside and couldn't come back. If her parents don't even have a spiritual seat, and there are no bones left, so there will be no cremation."

Ji Junshang dispelled Qiao Yunxi and Bu Jingyu's arguments in a few words.

"Isn't Tong Lin back now? Since the body is still there, let Tong Lin take a look. It can be regarded as the last act of filial piety."

Seeing the couple singing together, no matter what, Ji Tonglin and they also miss their parents, but they didn't intend to let Ji Tonglin see it.

"Second Aunt, now that I'm back, we should act in accordance with the court's decrees, and we can't disregard the law like this. I believe that the spirits of our parents in heaven will support us in doing so."

"They died of the plague. If they were buried, they would harm others in the future, so I still decided to cremate them."

Frowning, Ji Tonglin thought about how the second uncle and the second aunt were so confused, don't they know that the plague can be contagious, this is also a doctor's taboo.

"Tonglin, it's not easy for your parents to raise you so big in this life, and you can't treat them like this. Your father has made such a great contribution to the Ji family. If it is cremation, how can you accept the incense of future generations?"

Ji Tonglin insisted on seeing her parents, Ji Er's wife hurriedly explained that she still didn't want Ji Tonglin to see her.

"Miss, miss, it is good to see you back."

When he was about to walk to the front hall, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl ran out of the hall, her tired face could not hide the sparkling eyes, the girl's joy was beyond words when she saw Ji Tonglin appearing here.

"Liu Cui..."

"Come back to me, you dead girl, I am your master."

Before running a few steps, Liu Cui's ears were picked up, and she was slapped heavily on the face, Cheng Wan'er looked at Ji Tonglin angrily

coming direction.

"Second Aunt, what's going on?"

"Why does she treat my maid like this? Liu Cui is my maid, and I am never willing to touch it myself. Why should this thing appear in our house? There is no such unruly woman in our family."

"Er Niang, I still want to ask what's going on, who is this dead girl, and why everything belongs to her when she comes back. I'm the eldest lady."

Cheng Wan'er broke out again because of a servant girl who had been soothed just now, and even pinched Liu Cui twice more in dissatisfaction. In less than two days, Liu Cui had been tortured beyond recognition.

"This is my home, you just break into other people's homes casually, and you still have the face to show off like this."

Seeing Liu Cui being bullied like this, Ji Tonglin finally couldn't stand it anymore, walked up to Cheng Wan'er and told Liu Cuihu to be behind her, staring at this person could make her angry.

"Miss, Liu Cui misses you so much, she thought you were dead."

Being protected by Ji Tonglin in this way, Liu Cui burst into tears suddenly. She who had a strong face just now resisted not to speak. At this time, seeing the young lady came back, she could no longer hold back the tears.

"Liu Cui, don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can bully you."

Looking at Cheng Wan'er vigilantly, Ji Tonglin was very dissatisfied with the inexplicable appearance of this woman in her home, she couldn't figure it out, she had never heard of such a relative before.

"Wan'er, you are a guest, you can't do this. Liu Cui is Tong Lin's maid, and she is only for you temporarily. Now that Tong Lin has returned, I will ask Liu Xi to serve you later."

Mrs. Ji Er was busy preparing vegetables just now, but at this moment, she found that the two ancestors started to quarrel again, and then she realized that Liu Cui hadn't made proper arrangements. Didn't Cheng Wan'er tell her clearly?
Seemingly not hearing Mrs. Ji's warning, Cheng Wan'er was still unwilling to let Liucui be snatched away, and walked straight to Ji Tonglin's, taking advantage of her inattentive moment, she grabbed Liucui's arm and slammed it towards her With such a pull, she doesn't care about Liu Cui's life or death, she will be dragged here even if she dies, no one can snatch her Cheng Wan'er's things.
