Chapter 136 Return to Ji's House
Chapter 136 Return to Ji's House
"Jiuer, you're here." Ji Chenyuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Hmm~ Dad has been waiting for a long time?"
Ji Shenyuan was stunned when he heard the voice, it seemed that he hadn’t heard her call him dad for a long time. Now when he heard it, Ji Shenyuan felt a little uncomfortable!
"No, no, no, Dad just got here too!"
Ji Jiuying just smiled and got on the carriage without saying a word!
The entire journey was speechless.
Huanan Street is not far from the General’s Mansion, and we arrived at the General’s Mansion in a short while.
"Jiuer, do you think this yard needs anything else?" Ji Chenyuan asked attentively.
Qing Ling, who was standing by, was a little confused when she saw that General Ji brought the young lady to the second young lady's yard.
Ji Jiuying looked around. This old fox was quite quick. He had renovated Qinglan Courtyard in just one night!
Under the leadership of Ji Chenyuan, Ji Jiuying came into the room!
The surrounding stone walls are all covered with brocade, and even the ceiling is covered with embroidered felt. It is warm and cozy. All the furnishings are new, extremely luxurious and elegant.
On the dressing table were some rouge and powder used by girls, as well as some accessories.
It can be seen that Ji Chenyuan put a lot of effort into this.
"How is it? Jiuer, do you need anything?" Ji Chenyuan asked anxiously.
“No, it’s just…” Ji Jiuying paused.
"Just what?"
"Nothing~" Ji Jiuying smiled faintly.
In a courtyard not far from Qinglan Courtyard, an old lady slammed the table next to her.
"What did you say? Jiuer went home empty-handed? Didn't the emperor reward her with a lot of things some time ago? I want to ask her in person whether she is still the legitimate daughter of the Ji family?" The old lady said angrily.
"Where is that rebellious girl? Why doesn't she call her over to kowtow and pay her respects to me? She is so unfilial!" The old lady became more and more anxious. She had been waiting for her to come back and hand over the rewards given by the emperor. She didn't expect that she would come back empty-handed. How could she feel embarrassed?
"Old lady, don't worry, she will be here soon." Zhou Haiping said gloatingly. In fact, she also wanted to get a piece of the pie. Things bestowed by the emperor must be good things.
After half a cup of tea, Ji Jiuying arrived at the old lady's yard as expected.
"Jiuer greets grandma." Ji Jiuying came in and greeted the old lady sitting in the main seat. She chose to turn a blind eye to Zhou Haiping next to her.
Seeing this, Zhou Haiping suppressed her unhappiness.
But the old lady sitting in the main seat pretended not to hear what Ji Jiuying said. She just focused on drinking the tea in her hand without even raising her head.
Hehehe~ Seeing this, Ji Jiuying chuckled, found a seat and sat down.
Half a cup of tea passed.
"Oh, Jiuer, when did you come? Why didn't you say anything? I'm really old and my ears aren't very good!" The old lady looked half dead.
"Grandma, Jiuer has just arrived." Ji Jiuying said calmly.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. After all, you are the eldest daughter of our Ji family, how can you show it to others!"
"I heard from my father that my grandmother was always talking about me, so I came back." Ji Jiuying sneered. She didn't believe that this person who had regarded her as a shame since childhood would suddenly say that she missed her and asked her to come back. She wanted to see what tricks this old woman was trying to play.
"Jiuer, do you blame your grandmother?" the old lady said in a tearful voice.
"Why would Jiuer blame her grandmother?"
"Then why did you come back empty-handed? Did you come back just to trick an old woman like me? Jiuer, nothing can change the fact that you are a member of the Ji family." The old lady sobbed.
"I heard that the emperor rewarded you with ten carts of things. You are a girl, so don't let others cheat you. Listen to your grandmother and take those things home. Let your father or mother keep them for you."
Ji Jiuying raised her eyebrows. Haha, so that's it! This old woman has a nice idea.
Give it to dad or Zhou Haiping to help collect? Everyone knows that Ji Chenyuan is a well-known filial son. Usually, when there are rewards or treasures in the palace, they are given to the old woman first to choose, and the rest will be distributed to Zhou Haiping and others to choose.
So no matter who is in charge, as long as they enter the Ji family's door, they will eventually fall into the hands of the old woman.
"Hehehe ~ Grandma, it's not that I don't want to bring it back. You also know that as a princess, I always need some things to take care of, and the princess's mansion also has to support a bunch of maids." Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
"Xiaojiu, when you move back, you can just dismiss those maids. This way you can save some expenses." Zhou Haiping said.
Ji Jiuying glanced at her. Her eyes seemed harmless, but seemed to be able to see through her. Zhou Haiping couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Your mother is right, just do as she says!" The old lady looked at Zhou Haiping with appreciation and acted like an elder.
Ji Jiuying scratched her ears with her hands, thinking that she had heard it wrong! This old woman changed her expression too quickly.
"I will keep the things that the emperor has rewarded me, so there is no need for you to worry about it," Ji Jiuying sneered.
The old lady's expression changed immediately after hearing this. "How can this be allowed? How can we leave the things that the emperor gave to our Ji family outside? This is so unsafe!"
My goodness, how did this sentence become a reward from the emperor to the Ji family? There was no such thing as Ji Jiuying at all.
Zhou Haiping was about to say something when she saw this. This old woman was really shameless. Why didn't she die? She always kept all the good things first. She was so angry that she didn't dare to express it!
But this is exactly what she wants now. When all those things are moved to Ji's house, she will find an opportunity to poison the old woman.
"Since you've already met grandmother, Jiuer will go back first!" Ji Jiuying was too lazy to waste words with her and was about to get up and walk out.
"Who allowed you to leave? If you don't agree to this, an old woman like me, then don't even think about going out." The old lady said this and asked the maid to lock the door to the yard.
"Old woman, is this the reason why you tried every means to get this princess back?" Seeing this, Ji Jiuying was too lazy to pretend with her!
Seeing that Ji Jiuying called herself the princess and didn't even call her grandmother, she laid out the facts directly and started acting like a rogue.
"This is outrageous! How can you be a princess and not even listen to your grandmother? The things bestowed by the emperor originally belonged to the Ji family. You are a rebellious girl. You are so unfilial, so unfilial!" the old woman cried.
"Who told you that the things the emperor rewarded to this princess belong to the Ji family? Did the emperor tell you in person? Then this princess must ask the emperor about it early tomorrow morning!" Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
When the old lady heard that she would ask the emperor in person tomorrow, she suddenly became depressed. She didn't have the courage to bear the crime of deceiving the emperor, so she pretended to faint.
"Old lady! Old lady! Go and call the court doctor." Zhou Haiping and the maid exclaimed and hurriedly supported the fainted old lady.
