After marrying the vegetative prince, the doctor concubine killed people randomly
Chapter 23 The Disgusting Marquis's Family
Qiao Ye was stared at by Ji Yuntang's cold fox eyes. She immediately lowered her head in a guilty conscience, "Princess, calm down. It was I who said too much."
The princess's eyes were too scary.
If she had not been sure that she had not revealed any flaws in front of Ji Yuntang in the past few days, Qiao Ye would have thought that her purpose had been discovered by the other party.
Ji Yuntang glanced at her with disdain. "Since you know you are too talkative, then go do something that doesn't require you to talk too much. You and Taozhi go pull out all the flowers and plants around the courtyard wall for me, my princess, and install a fence around it. I want to raise ducks here!"
Qiao Ye was dumbfounded, "What, raising ducks?"
"But where did the ducks come from in our palace?"
Ji Yuntang teased, "You don't have it, but I do."
It's funny to say that when she got married, the Yongning Marquis's Mansion prepared a dowry for her, which included a grass carp, a native dog, and a pair of ducks, saying that it was a folk custom of the three birds.
However, the three-bird custom handed down among the people is clearly a goldfish, symbolizing abundance every year.
A Pekingese dog symbolizes prosperity and wealth.
A pair of mandarin ducks symbolizes flying together.
When it arrived at the Yongning Marquis Mansion, it became a poultry that could not be more ordinary.
Now these three things are still kept in the farm in her space.
Ji Yuntang sneered. How could she not know that the three dowries sent by the Yongning Marquis' Mansion were ostensibly intended to bring good luck, but were actually meant to humiliate her.
They don't mind the dowry being embarrassing, so why should I hide it?
Why not just get them all out and keep them in public, so that everyone can see the ugly faces of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion.
Taozhi and Qiaoye looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know whether Ji Yuntang really wanted to raise ducks in the palace or was joking, but they didn't dare to disobey her.
The two of them immediately went to pull out the weeds.

At the same time, in Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Old Madam Ji was sitting in the main seat, wearing a silk brocade dress with cloud patterns. She looked noble, with silver hair and a kind face that showed calmness and wisdom. At this moment, she was looking at Ji Qingqing below the seat with a smile.
"Qing'er, the story you just told about the farmer and the snake is so interesting. I haven't heard such a wonderful story in a long time."
Ji Qingqing smiled coquettishly, walked forward and hugged Madam Ji's arm affectionately and shook it, "Grandma, Qing'er is just worried that you will be bored staying in the room, so I found some stories from the storybook to entertain you, right?"
Madam Ji was amused and laughed out loud, "Well, well, well, you are worthy of being your grandmother's most beloved granddaughter. You are so thoughtful."
"Unlike your three brothers, who spend their days either working at the Dali Temple, studying business outside, or studying with teachers in the academy. They are so busy that they don't even come home or visit me. It's really your granddaughter who is so caring!"
Ji Qingqing smiled obediently, "My brothers have grown up, and they will all get married and start their own careers sooner or later. Besides, whether they are doing business, studying in the academy, or busy with other things, they are all for the good of our Yongning Marquisate. If my brothers achieve great success, won't our Marquisate also benefit from it?"
Meng Shuwan, the wife of the Yongning Marquis, also nodded and agreed, "Mother, Qingqing is right. Che'er, Feng'er, and Hang'er all have their own ideas. They have sworn in front of me and the Marquis that they will definitely accomplish something big within five years."
"Che'er is now a prince, and has entered the Dali Temple as the Right Junior Minister. As for Feng'er and Hang'er, four and a half years have passed. I believe that if they are given another year, their business and academic achievements will surely impress everyone in Dongchen Country."
Just as Meng finished her words with a smile, a magnetic male voice suddenly sounded at the door, "Mother, it doesn't take a year, half a year will be enough."
Everyone turned around and saw two tall and graceful figures walking towards them. They had handsome faces and smiles.
The people who came were none other than the second young master Ji Qingfeng and the third young master Ji Zihang of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. The two brothers were eighteen and sixteen years old respectively, and both were famous young masters in the imperial capital.
When Ji Qingqing saw them, she immediately flew over like a happy butterfly.
"Second brother, third brother, grandma and mother were just talking about you. I didn't expect you to come back so soon?"
Ji Qingfeng touched Ji Qingqing's head lovingly, "Well, I missed you guys, so I put down the business at hand and came back."
Ji Zihang also smiled and said, "Grandma, mother, my elder brother was just called by father to the study to discuss matters, so the two of us brothers came here first."
He studied in the Royal Academy all year round, and his handsome appearance exuded a scholarly air.
"That's great. Today our whole family is together, but..." Ji Qingqing paused halfway through her words, and a hint of sadness filled her eyes.
"It would be nice if my sister could come back with me."
"Today is the day my sister is supposed to come back home after three days, but it's already 9:00 p.m., why hasn't she come back yet? Could she be really mad at me?"
Ji Qingfeng frowned in disgust, "Qingqing, don't think too much. It would be better if that ugly girl didn't come back. I feel sick when I see her face."
Although he said this, he still hoped in his heart that Ji Yuntang would come back.
Ever since Ji Qingfeng was slapped by Ji Yuntang last time, the anger in his heart has not subsided yet.
The reason why Ji Qingfeng rushed back today was because he calculated that this was the day Ji Yuntang would return home, and he wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate the other party.
Ji Qingqing was happy to see that the whole family hated Ji Yuntang, but a look of deep worry appeared on her face.
"But, last time, my sister said that she wanted to sever ties with our Yongning Marquis Mansion. Could it be that what she said was true?"
Madam Ji's face turned cold and she placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table.
"Humph, severing ties, as if our Yongning Marquisate would care about a country girl like her who is not presentable enough."
When Meng heard the words "a country girl who is not presentable", her brows slightly frowned.
No matter what, Ji Yuntang was her daughter. How could Madam Ji say that to her?
However, she just lowered her head and drank her tea without saying a word for Ji Yuntang.
Ji Zihang swung the tea bowl in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Sister Qing'er, don't worry."
"Ji Yuntang married that crippled prince who couldn't take care of himself. Maybe she's still serving him. How could she be willing to sever ties with our Yongning Marquisate?"
"In my opinion, it's still early now. By noon she will come back crying and begging for our forgiveness."
