Liu Linlang clenched her fists, the anger in her heart rushing straight to her head, "No need, put away your hypocrisy!"

Ji Yuntang was not angry either, "Oh, then you can come to me anytime to buy it when you need it, I will keep it for you."

She knew very well that Qiao Ye was behind this.

However, Ji Yuntang did not expect that the other party would end up making things worse and mistook the medicine mask she used for her face as dog shit.

Ji Yuntang sneered. What would happen to Qiao Ye if Liu Linlang knew that the dog shit had no effect after using it?

Ji Yuntang was somewhat expectant.

Yongninghou Mansion.

In the magnificent hall, the previous laughter and joy were gone, and there was now a low-pressure atmosphere.

Yongning Marquis Ji Nanchuan sat in the main seat with a sullen face, Meng stood beside him with her head lowered, and Ji Qingqing, wearing a thin green dress, knelt weakly below.

She lowered her head very low, her long eyelashes hiding the gloom in her eyes, her hands clenched into fists beneath her sleeves, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

Ji Qingqing was filled with hatred!

Isn't she her father's favorite daughter?

Why did Ji Nanchuan ask her to kneel here and reflect on herself just because she owed Ji Yuntang 100,000 taels of silver?

But the IOU was signed by Meng herself, so what does it have to do with her?

Ji Qingqing clenched her teeth tightly, with deep hatred in her eyes.

And her brothers, aren’t they the ones who care about her the most?

Why was there no one coming back to plead for her even though her knees were sore?

She just fell into Ji Yuntang's trap. Isn't she a victim?

Why is everyone blaming themselves now?

When Mrs. Meng saw Ji Qingqing's shoulders trembling slightly, her eyes turned red and were full of heartache.

"My Lord, please let Qingqing get up quickly. She has been kneeling for almost an hour. Qingqing is weak to begin with. How can she bear it if she continues kneeling like this?"

Ji Nanchuan slammed the table heavily, his face full of anger, "You just spoiled her too much. Do you know that she had someone carry the coffin to the gate of the Night Palace? When we were in court today, what did the ministers outside say about our Yongning Marquis Mansion?"

"It's fine that they said the Marquis's family didn't teach their daughter well, and that they killed each other. They forced Ji Yuntang to marry the Night King, but in the end, they even killed their own sister."

"You women are just sitting at home causing trouble for me. Today, me and Che'er have been looked down upon in the court and impeached by many political enemies. The emperor looks at us with eyes that are not eyes and noses that are not noses. Do you think this is a small matter?"

Rather than being angry about the criticism, Ji Nanchuan was more disappointed with Ji Qingqing.

The daughter he had raised and taught carefully for fifteen years was ultimately no match for Ji Yuntang, a country girl?

In the end, he was tricked into paying 100,000 taels of silver by the other party.

When this matter spread, many people said that the Yongning Marquisate was blind and mistook fish eyes for pearls.

How could Ji Nanchuan not be angry about this?

Meng's face was bitter and worried. "My Lord, the incident has already happened. It will be useless to blame Qingqing now. Our top priority now is to find a way to collect the 100,000 taels of silver and give it to Ji Yuntang within three days."

The monthly salary of Marquis Yongning was only one thousand taels of silver, and one hundred thousand taels was an astronomical figure for them.

If it were really given, the Marquis' Mansion would probably not be able to recover its losses within five years.

At this moment, a slightly vicissitudes of life voice came over.

“This money cannot be given.”

Madam Ji came over with the help of Nanny Wang. When she passed by Meng, she glared at her fiercely, "Meng, these are all good daughters you gave birth to!"

"No matter what, Ji Yuntang is still the blood of our Yongning Marquis Mansion. Even if she breaks off the relationship verbally, the blood flowing in her body is still the blood of our Yongning Marquis Mansion, and this cannot be severed in any way."

"Throughout history, this is the first time that a child has asked her parents for money. If we really give her this money, then where will the reputation of our century-old Yongning Marquisate be? How will people outside view us?"

After saying this, Madam Ji went over and sat on the chair, raising her elbow slightly.

"Madame Wang, why don't you go over and help the young lady up? How can she kneel like this?"

"Yes, old lady." Nanny Wang hurried over and pulled up Ji Qingqing, who was kneeling on the ground.

She pursed her lips and said nothing, her bright eyes filled with tears, as red as a rabbit, which made Old Madam Ji very distressed.

The three young masters of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion seldom go home, so Ji Qingqing usually comes to keep her company and make old lady Ji happy.

如今看见自己最疼爱的孙女受了这种委屈,纪老夫人简直恨不得亲自去将纪云棠暴揍一顿,来为纪箐箐出气。

"Qingqing, my dear granddaughter, please stop crying. Your crying makes your grandmother so heartbroken."

Old Madam Ji held Ji Qingqing in her arms and coaxed her. What she didn't see was the gleam of triumph that flashed across Ji Qingqing's eyes, which disappeared in a flash.

It seems that it was the right decision for her to please Old Madam Ji on a daily basis.

At the critical moment, her so-called father, mother and brothers all started to pretend to be dead and blame her for a little money and fame, without any humanity at all.

Only Madam Ji was willing to stand up for her and protect her.

Ji Qingqing's lips curled up in disdain.

As long as she holds Madam Ji's thighs firmly, no one in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion will dare to do anything to her.

"Grandmother, it's all Qingqing's fault. It was Qingqing who caused trouble for the Yongning Marquisate. It's only right that father is angry and punishes me. Please don't blame them."

Meng looked at Ji Qingqing, who was singing in a low voice and acting coquettishly in Madam Ji's arms. She frowned slightly and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

From the beginning to the end, Ji Qingqing only said that she was punished, but she did not mention at all that it was her own inappropriate behavior that led to the fermentation of the whole thing.

Mrs. Meng suddenly felt a little tired. She rubbed her temples and said tiredly: "Mother, but my daughter-in-law has already signed the IOU and put her fingerprints on it. Many people present have seen it with their own eyes. If I don't give it to you, I'm afraid Ji Yuntang will..."

Madam Ji's expression suddenly turned cold. She slammed the table hard, and anger appeared on her dignified and gentle face.

"What can she do? What does she want? How dare she do anything to my Yongning Marquis Mansion?"

"Our mansion went through so much trouble to find her and found her a marriage that was impossible to find even with a lantern. Her status rose rapidly, from a country girl to the noble Princess of Ye. It would be fine if she didn't feel grateful to the mansion, but now she wants to harm us. How can such a good thing happen in this world?"
