Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C168
Ji Lingyun had always lived like a prince, how could she have heard others talk about her like that?
However, he wasn’t angry when he heard this.
From the bottom of her heart, she looked down on Jin Xiaolou, and even more so, looked down on this Little Maid in front of her that was inferior to Jin Xiaolou.
Slightly pursing his lips, he revealed an impatient look: “I don’t have time to listen to you, where’s your shopkeeper? “Stop hiding, call her out for me. I have something to ask her!”
Lv Yun blocked the door, and said neither humble nor haughty, “If Miss Ji wishes to meet my wife, then wait until tomorrow to send a greeting letter. When Madam is free, she will naturally send someone to invite Miss Ji over.”
“It’s just that this lady is dressed like a man and is rushing through the Rainbow Garden at night. Looking at the appearance of the young miss, she does not seem like she is here to see someone. My wife would naturally not intentionally stand up to meet her.”
Lv Yun had addressed the shopkeeper as Madam to let Ji Lingyun know that not only was she facing the shopkeeper of the Linlang Workshop, she was even the one in charge of the Rainbow Garden as well.
Whatever Ji Lingyun wanted to do since she was young, she had never felt bad about it.
Seeing that Jin Xiaolou was in the room, but was stopped by a small servant, her temper rose.
He lifted his robe and rushed inside, pointing at Lv Yun: “I have to see Jin Xiaolou today, I am the young miss of the Shang Shu Manor, Seventh Prince’s mother and mother are close friends, Seventh Prince’s sister Princess Wen Luo is also a good friend of mine, Empress has already taken a fancy to me, and wants me to be the Seventh Imperial Concubine! In the future, I will be your master! I want to see which one of you dares to stop me! ”
These words stunned Lv Yun completely.
Lv Yun was not frightened by Ji Lingyun, but her words of “Empress has already taken a fancy to me and wants me to be the Seventh Imperial Concubine” had deeply hit Lv Yun.
She knew very well that the Seventh Prince and his shopkeeper had a deep relationship, but if the Emperor betrothed his, then even though the Seventh Prince was a noble prince, he still wouldn’t be able to fight back.
If what Ji Lingyun said was true, then what about their own shopkeeper …
Just as Lv Yun was in a daze, Nan Yang had already walked over and grabbed him.
Ji Lingyun had just been thrown to the ground by Nan Yang’s twisted arms. With this turn of her, the pain in her arms was inflicted again, causing Ji Lingyun to raise her eyebrows and shout: What are you doing?
“For what?” Nan Yang retorted, “To barge into the Rainbow Garden at night, of course you have to close up in the stone hut.
“My father is an official! You dare to attack me? ” Ji Lingyun was so angry that she could not take it anymore, she just felt that these servants of Rainbow Garden were each less observant than the last.
Nan Yang gave a cold laugh, “Your father, your mother, your good friend and Miss Ji, other than the benefits your mother’s womb brought you, do you think you can be of any use to me? My wife is only born in a lower class than you, her everything else is above yours. If I were in the Seventh Prince, I would only choose her, not you. ”
Nan Yang pushed Ji Lingyun forward: “Let’s go, don’t stand in the way of this lady’s rest.”
Nan Yang ignored Ji Lingyun’s scolding and only dragged her outside until they met the garden guards. Then, she personally handed the people over to them: “Lock them up and send them to the yamen tomorrow.”
After escorting Ji Lingyun, Nan Yang wanted to return to the front of the Bi Wu Hall to guard her. Behind her, Wen Mei pulled her sleeves once again: “Big Sister Nan Yang, you …”
Nan Yang turned around and saw Wen Mei’s bewildered face. She raised her hand, brushed Wen Mei away and gently said to her: “In the past, I was the one who misunderstood her, and now that she used her own life to save Seventh Elder, then in this life, I, Nan Yang, will definitely protect her for the rest of her life!”
With that, he ignored Wen Mei and walked straight back.
Only after Nan Yang had walked far away did Wen Mei finally let out a breath of relief.
She asked Nan Yang twice just to test if Nan Yang still had any enmity towards his wife and whether she would still make a move against her.
After the conversation she had with his wife in the Bi Wu Hall, Wen Mei had already acknowledged his wife from the bottom of her heart. However, she could not let down the fact that she had brought him along.
Even more so, he was afraid that Big Sister Nan Yang still harbored hatred in her heart, and wanted to take advantage of this Madam’s calamity when Seventh Elder was far away to make a move. Then how could she, a mere Wen Mei, protect both sides?
Fortunately, Sister Nan Yang had made the same choice as him.
Lv Yun was still looking around from the door, seeing that Nan Yang had returned, he nodded to her from afar, turned and opened the door, then sat back down on her bed to guard the room.
It was also an accident that Nan Yang was able to help him.
She could still clearly remember how Nan Yang once treated her and the shopkeeper.
That was the first basin of cold water that they had ever encountered in the capital.
In the next moment, the door opened once again. Turning around, the one who came in was Nan Yang.
“Miss Lv Yun, you should go and rest.” Nan Yang’s face didn’t have much of an expression, but her tone was serious and sincere, “I know that I treated my wife well, and even had ill intentions. But right now, I swear on my own life and Seventh Elder’s that from now on, I will definitely treat Madam with the same attitude as I did Seventh Master. “Please rest assured that I will protect Madam well.”
Lv Yun was originally skeptical, but after hearing her speak, seeing her raise her hand and swear on Seventh Elder’s word, her heart was already completely convinced.
The shopkeeper had also said that Nan Yang was extremely brave to the Seventh Prince.
Looking at the shopkeeper who was peacefully sleeping, then looking at Lin’er who was curled up in the cradle, Lv Yun finally nodded her head. She handed the shopkeeper over to Nan Yang and carried Lin’er out of the house.
On the morning of the second day, Ji Lingyun was sent to the yamen.
Rainbow Garden reported that this person barged into the house at night and wanted to commit treason.
The yamen officials did not see clearly who the person lying on the ground was. They had thought that it was some blind thief who wanted to beat him up and force him into submission.
Who knew that the moment she lifted him up, she could tell that the person was Ji Mansion’s young miss, Ji Lingyun. She immediately said that it was a misunderstanding, and stuffed him into a sedan, then safely returned him to Ji Mansion.
Last night, the servant, Fang’er, made a ruckus at the Rainbow Garden entrance. After being chased away, she returned to her residence and reported this matter to the Madam.
Mrs. Ji was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Seventh Prince came down from the battlefield, killing people was easier than killing a fly. Even if they were going by Assassin’s Wheel and used a blade to kill Ji Lingyun, at that time, the higher-ups would say that as long as the Seventh Prince bit down to death and could not see the other party clearly, in the middle of the night, his own daughter Night Break Rainbow Garden, they could not explain it clearly, and could only take this loss.
Seeing that Ji Lingyun had returned safely, Mrs. Ji hugged her and cried loudly, until her throat was hoarse. Only then did she catch her breath, raise her arm and ruthlessly gave the little girl a slap.
Ji Lingyun was already wronged, with this slap, his internal organs felt as though they were going to shatter. She immediately bellowed out, “Mother, why did you hit me!?”
“Why did I hit you?” The Mrs. Ji was even more furious, “Ji Lingyun, you truly are bold, even though you are alive today, as a young miss from a noble family, going to someone else’s house late at night to climb the wall, if word of this gets out, will you still be famous? Do you even want face for Ji Mansion? ”
Ji Lingyun pouted her lips, and unhappily said, “All day long, my reputation and face has been thrown away countless of times. My reputation and Ji Mansion face has been long gone!”
“You still have the face to say that?!” Mrs. Ji raised his arm to hit his again, but after raising it for a while, he looked at the little girl’s flapping face, and his red eyes. In the end, the slap had landed on his body, “I’m really guilty, why did I give birth to such a thing!”
“Mother!” Your daughter, I know what I’m doing! ” Ji Lingyun saw that his mother was hurt, and twisted her body, “Seventh Prince is not in Rainbow Garden, he does not know about this matter. I just want to meet Jin Xiaolou. My daughter has met her twice, she is just a peasant woman who does business with her family, she doesn’t have much experience, I thought that with her weakness, I might be able to scare her away, so I won’t need my mother to run all over my affairs. ”
“You’ve seen her?” Mrs. Ji was shocked, “What weakness?”
Ji Lingyun blinked her eyes: “That time, Du Jing was the one who lured me to meet her. In order to win over Seventh Prince, she wanted to use Du Jing to bring me away from the capital. She definitely doesn’t want Seventh Prince to know about this matter.
“Hmph.” The Mrs. Ji snorted, “Don’t meddle too much in Jin Xiaolou’s matter. For a peasant girl to be relying on herself to get close to the prince, her schemes are definitely not something you can compare to. Instead, be careful of her taking advantage of the things that happened between you and Du Jing!”
Hearing what the Mrs. Ji said, Ji Lingyun was shocked.
Yes, how could she have forgotten that this was also her own stain.
What a great Jin Xiaolou, her mind was so strong, relying on Du Jing, she actually managed to squeeze herself so tightly. Even if she did not leave the capital with Du Jing, Jin Xiaolou could add fuel to the fire by telling the Seventh Prince about this matter.
“Aiya, it’s over, it’s all over!” Ji Lingyun was extremely furious, she anxiously jumped up, “If Seventh Prince finds out about this, he definitely won’t marry me!”
“Is he the one who decides whether to marry or not?” Mrs. Ji laughed coldly again, “Yun’er, don’t go anywhere these few days. Just wait for the good news at home.”
Ji Lingyun calmed down and looked at her mother.
He only heard Mrs. Ji continue: “He Guangkun has already admitted to it, that child Jin Xiaolou is his seed. As long as I spread the news of what happened, and enter the palace to tell Empress, the Empress will definitely seek justice for you.”
“Really?” Ji Lingyun was extremely happy.
“Absolutely!” Mrs. Ji was also happy, he took her daughter into her arms, “My good Yun, just wait for me to marry you!”
Mrs. Ji and his daughter sat for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they got up and prepared to enter the palace.
When Ji Lingyun returned to his own room and sat down, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. With a smile, she imagined herself wearing bridal clothes with a red dragon and phoenix head, sitting in the bridal room and waiting for the handsome Seventh Prince.
But in an instant, the Seventh Prince’s face changed to Du Jing’s without any warning.
