The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind, I Drank Milk and Ate Melons

Chapter 3, Mrs. Ji planned to capture Chunqin after hearing her daughter’s voice

 For several days, Mrs. Ji asked Xiuhe to secretly observe Chunqin's actions.

On this day, Xiuhe secretly saw Chunqin stuffing fifty taels of silver into the kitchen, Aunt Zhou, who was responsible for purchasing ingredients.

Fifty taels, how can a maid get fifty taels of silver at once?

After hearing the news, Mrs. Ji found that there was no shortage of silver in the jewelry box. After checking the silver in the treasury, she found no trace of the shortage.

 This is strange.

“Madam, do you want to inform the Marquis about this matter?” Xiuhe asked.

Mrs. Ji shook her head: "The affairs of the back house are my business, so there is no need to disturb the master."

ˆHappy Lord Ji's affection for Mrs. Ji was well-known among the elite circles in the capital. In the eyes of outsiders, Mr. Ji was so in love with Mrs. Ji that he didn't even have a girl in the same room for her, let alone a concubine.

 In response to the sentence: There are three thousand weak water, just take one gourd to drink.

 It was once a legend.

 Only she knew that Lord Ji had another person in his heart. Just because her facial features were somewhat similar to this person's, he asked to marry her.

 She is that person’s substitute.

 Over the years, she has become accustomed to treating each other with respect and hospitality.

Ji Hua is still a fetus and has limited energy. She is fast asleep and has very little waking time.

Xiuhe suggested that Mrs. Ji take Chunqin down for questioning, but Mrs. Ji said: "Wait a little longer, ask the housekeeper. Forget it, you should go find Yin Zheng and ask Yin Zheng to pay more attention to the man who secretly met Chunqin. Remember Don’t try to scare the snake.”

She didn't believe that Chunqin, a maid, was so bold that she dared to transfer the daughter of the Marquis's wife.

 As the birth approaches, everyone in the Hou Mansion seems extremely busy. The eldest son and the second son would come to Wutong Courtyard to accompany their mother whenever they had free time.

Jihua was so nervous that she couldn't sleep. A month has passed, and she has yet to think of a way to save herself.

 There is that kind of life-saving elixir in the mall, but it can only be saved for a while, not a long-term solution.

　　【Hey, if mother knew that Chunqin, the housekeeper, and Aunt Zhou were harboring evil intentions, she would have dealt with them early, and I would no longer be at risk of being transferred. 】

 The mastermind behind the subcontracting incident is the frail third prince, who is also the male protagonist in the book. He did not think that such a sophisticated plan would go wrong. So no backup plan was made.

By directly dealing with Chunqin and others, she also changed her fate of not being able to survive until the age of two after being transferred.

 Hearing her daughter’s voice, Mrs. Ji felt excited. She hadn't heard her daughter's voice for several days. I once thought that everything before was an illusion.

Hearing her precious daughter’s voice again, her heart was throbbing.

 Wait a minute, in addition to Chun Qin and Aunt Zhou, the housekeeper is also involved?

 Thinking that he almost asked the housekeeper to keep an eye on Chunqin just now, he felt frightened.

Who dares to put an informant in the Hou Mansion, or even seduce a young lady from the Hou Mansion?

The Marquis has always been aboveboard in doing things and has never had any grudges with anyone. She could not imagine who could be so bold?

 As long as the Chunqin is not dealt with, Mrs. Ji's heart will be filled with it.

 The daughter in her belly seemed to be worried about this too, and her belly was moving restlessly. She could feel her fear and helplessness.

If the person behind the incident could no longer be found, she thought, she would find a reason to deal with Chun Qin and Aunt Zhou first.

 As the day approaches, my body becomes heavier and heavier. Mrs. Ji thought that capturing Chunqin should be put on the agenda.

 At the end of Shenshi that day, Yin Zheng finally appeared in front of her. Mrs. Ji knew that the person behind the scenes had something to tell.

“Madam, that man has martial arts skills, so I shouldn’t follow him too closely. However, I saw that the man had contact with Zhang Shijun, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Ji looked horrified. He never thought that this matter could be related to the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army.

"Don't make any announcement about this in advance. Chunqin girl, I will take care of it myself. You can go down and do your work first."

"Yes." Yin Zheng hesitated to speak, but finally left.

 Mrs. Ji certainly knows what Yin Zheng wants to say? When he and the Marquis went into battle to kill the enemy, they were so good that they were brothers. Naturally, he didn’t want to hide this matter from the Marquis.

Yin Zheng left. Mrs. Ji thought for a long time before calling Xiu He and whispered: "You are like this"

After hearing this, Xiuhe bowed and left with a smile on his face.

The investigation these days gave her some clues. It seemed that Chunqin and Aunt Zhou had done something that made Madam very unhappy. Only then did the madam think of ways to deal with the two of them. Although I don’t know why Madam didn’t sell the person directly, she probably thought it would be detrimental to the Ji family.

Not long after Xiuhe left, Ji Hua woke up, thinking about the fate of being transferred to a new employer in one month, and felt uneasy. Mrs. Ji gently comforted the fetus in her belly, seeming to whisper softly: "My child, my mother will definitely keep you safe."

I don’t know if he heard this, but the mood of the fetus in the belly seemed to have stabilized. In fact, Ji Hua slumped as if resigned to her fate.

 Forget it, at worst, I will rely on pills to save my life at the age of two. At least I can walk by then.

Mrs. Ji started to prepare, and everything became orderly.

 In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of October, and the day of giving birth is getting closer and closer. In order to avoid sudden incident, the Hou Mansion invited two stable women to live in the mansion early.

 As the day approaches, the fetal movements become more and more obvious. Ji Linfeng often pushed his eldest brother Ji Yushu to the Wutong Courtyard. She said happily: "Mother, this baby is definitely a sister. Look, the magpies have come to announce the good news."

The magpies were chirping in the trees, which was very pleasant.

Jihua was drowsy in her stomach, and felt sad when she heard her brothers' voices. This was supposed to be her brother, but it was someone else who hurt him.

At this time, she heard that her mother asked her two brothers to name them. She was about to fall asleep and suddenly became energetic and listened attentively.

 The book says that the eldest son of the Ji family has great literary talent and will definitely give her a nice name. Forget about the second young master, he is a martial artist.

“Shu’er, if you like to be wordy, give your sister a name.” Mrs. Ji looked at her eldest son with a smile.

 Two years have passed, and it’s time for him to step out of that shadow. In the past two years, she knew that his life was not as easy as it seemed.

It was once the top three of the year, and the first three of the year, with the ambitions of the country, but now they have to end with a wheelchair for a lifetime.

Ji Yushu behaved elegantly and casually as usual. He thought for a moment and said, "Mom, if he is a younger brother, he will be named Jiyue, and if he is a younger sister, he will be named Hua. It means quiet and reserved, gentle and kind."

It turns out that the name Jihua comes from my elder brother, and it really sounds nice.

Jihua didn't last long and fell asleep lazily again.

 Mrs. Ji and Ji Linfeng both think this name is good.

At this time, Xiuhe's figure appeared in Wutong Courtyard and gestured to Mrs. Ji calmly. Mrs. Ji knew that after a month of laying the trap, it was finally time to close the net.

"Call Chunqin girl to come and give me a squeeze on my legs. I'm a little tired." Mrs. Ji ordered Qiu Hua on the side.

Ji Linfeng stepped forward very diligently: "Mom, let me squeeze the baby for you."

"No, you don't know the importance. That girl Chunqin is pretty good."

　Not long after, Chunqin arrived. Not long after arriving, Grandma Zhou's figure appeared in Wutong Courtyard. Seeing her arrival, Mrs. Ji clearly felt Chunqin's shoulder-squeezing hand pause. She looked at Nanny Zhou without knowing it and asked, "What does Nanny Zhou want from me?"

"It's like this, madam. Something happened at home, and the old slave has to take a few days off. But please don't worry, madam, I will definitely come back on the eve of her delivery."

Mrs. Ji asked calmly: "But something happened at home? If you need money, just ask Aunt Zhou. You are also an old man in the house. I am very grateful."

Mama Zhou lowered her head and did not dare to look at Mrs. Ji at all. She was afraid and couldn't bear it after seeing it.

From Chunqin's point of view, there was something in Zhou's heart that made her afraid to look at her, and she was suspicious.

"No, it's nothing serious. My old mother sprained her foot while working. My daughter-in-law went back to fulfill her filial duty."

"What, sprained your foot? You must need money, Chunqin, go and get fifty taels of silver from the dowry. Aunt Zhou has dedicated her life to the Ji family for several years, and I am not an unkind person. "

Thinking that her son was arrested and imprisoned for some reason and needed money, Grandma Zhou hesitated but accepted it.

Chunqin's heart skipped a beat when she heard Aunt Zhou say that her old mother had broken her leg. Aunt Zhou's old mother died of illness last month. Aunt Zhou did not inform Mrs. Ji about this, nor did she go back to pay her last respects. Just because her old mother was not good to her when she was young.

 This is what she told her herself.

 Suddenly, Chunqin thought of a possibility. She wanted to defraud another fifty taels of silver and run away.

 Good, very good.

“Aunt Xiuhe, go and see off Aunt Zhou.” Mrs. Ji said.

"yes."

Soon after Xiuhe left, he came back with a letter in his hand: "Madam, this is what Aunt Zhou left behind when she left. She said she wanted to hand it over to Madam herself."

Chunqin's face turned pale when she saw this letter. Nanny Zhou already wanted to cheat her out of fifty taels, so it was obvious that she left this letter before she left.

“Let’s leave it there and look at it later when we have time,” Mrs. Ji said, glancing at Chun Qin without leaving any trace.

Xiuhe put the letter on the table.
