Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss
Chapter 88 The Substitute Bride 4
Zixi glanced at the room, which was almost completely bare of furniture and said sarcastically, "The Ji family is really poor!"
The old nanny's eyes suddenly turned fierce. "You're just a poor family from a small village, yet you dare to be picky about the Ji family. Lord Ji is the Grand Secretary; even a courtyard this large is beyond the reach of lowly people like you..."
"Zixi, slap yourself. I don't need to remind you of this kind of thing again."
Ji Xiaosong didn't even glance at the old nanny, and sat down in the chair on her own.
She liked the spot because the sunlight was shining on it.
Before the old nanny could react, Zixi had already slapped her several times, knocking out her teeth.
“We really don’t have much in our yard, Zixi. Once you’ve tidied up, go visit other people’s yards. We’re at least back home now, so there’s nothing wrong with taking some of our own things.”
"Yes, ma'am."
Zixi picked up the old nanny and threw her out, then ran towards Ji Yan's courtyard.
If you ask how she found this courtyard so precisely, it's because she dug it out.
Ask the maids, servants, or other servants walking around outside. If they are willing to talk, leave directly. If they are unwilling to talk, use force to politely inquire about their situation.
Ji Yan was not in the manor at the time. When Zi Xi arrived at her courtyard, she would take whatever she wanted.
Since she couldn't hold much with her hands, she simply tore off a bed sheet and used it as a bundle.
At this moment, several burly old women from Ji Yan's courtyard rushed out and shouted, "Where did this wild girl come from, daring to run wild here!"
Zixi snorted coldly, hugged the bundle tightly with both hands, and said, "My young lady's things should naturally be taken back."
The old women were not about to give up; they waved their arms and tried to snatch the bundle.
Zixi's eyes narrowed, and she kicked the old woman who was at the front, knocking her to the ground.
Seeing this, the other old women felt afraid, but they dared not let Zixi leave.
Zixi put down her bundle, stretched her wrists, and said, "Anyone who's not afraid of death, come on over."
The women looked at each other, hesitated for a long time, but finally mustered up their courage and rushed forward.
Zixi was agile, dodging left and right, and when she saw an opportunity, she threw punches and kicks, making the old women stagger and cry out for their parents.
In the end, the old women dared not stop her anymore, and Zixi picked up the huge bundle again and swaggered out of the courtyard.
Back at Zhuifeng Courtyard, Zixi proudly showed her spoils to Ji Xiaosong.
"Miss, do you like this arrangement? I saw that Miss Ji's courtyard has many other nice things. If you need anything else, I'll go and get it for you."
Ji Xiaosong looked at Zixi and smiled helplessly: "You're such a feisty person. Never mind, let's see if we can use these things first."
As the two were talking, a commotion broke out outside.
"You scoundrel! You've only just arrived at the Ji family and you've already turned the place upside down. What exactly are you trying to do?"
It turned out that it was Ji Mu who had arrived with a large group of people.
Someone had already told Zixi what she had just done, and considering Zixi's abilities, Madam Ji had no choice but to bring more people with her.
"What do I want to do? Didn't I already make it clear to Madam Ji from the beginning that I would stop making trouble as long as I was treated equally?"
Madam Ji gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I agree. But you'd better behave yourself and not cause any more trouble!"
After saying that, Madam Ji glared at Ji Xiaosong and turned to instruct the maids and servants beside her: "Go, tidy up the young lady's courtyard properly, and make sure all the necessary items are provided. There must be no negligence. Also, arrange the meals for the next few days. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you all responsible!"
The maids and servants responded in unison, "Yes, Madam."
Madam Ji then looked at Ji Xiaosong and snorted coldly, "I'll let you off this time, but if there's a next time, I won't let you off easily!" After saying that, she left with everyone.
Ji Xiaosong watched her mother's departing figure, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
When the mistress of the house gave the order, the maids and servants quickly redecorated Ji Xiaosong's room.
Sixteen maids and servants lined up and knelt before Ji Xiaosong, heads bowed and silent.
"I only need Zixi as a maid here; there's no need for anyone else," Ji Xiaosong said calmly, sipping the rose tea that Zixi had just brewed.
The head maid trembled as she glanced outside the door. Seeing the old nanny outside nod, she kowtowed and left.
And so, Ji Xiaosong stayed at the Ji family home for almost half a month before her mother called her to the front yard again.
"Miss, you've been here for so long, and no one else from the Ji family has come to see you. Why have they summoned you today? Is there something they want to discuss?"
Ji Xiaosong casually peeled and fiddled with the mung bean cake on the table. This kind of pastry was extremely exquisite, but it was inedible because it was poisonous.
From the very first day she arrived at the Ji residence, someone kept sending poison into her courtyard.
Everything they ate, wore, and used was contaminated with toxins.
Ji Xiaosong used her divine sense to investigate and found that everyone in the Ji family had poisoned her and Zixi.
These poisons won't kill her and Zixi immediately, but they will slowly take effect over the next three years, eventually causing them to die from festering sores all over their bodies.
That's how the original owner died; back then, Ji Yan administered an even stronger dose.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Crown Prince is coming to see me today."
Ji Xia Song got up, made a hand seal, and cleaned the room of toxins.
"Miss, are you really going to marry him? I've heard that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have more than a few years left to live."
"Marry, of course you should marry. Back then, during the border war, if it weren't for the Crown Prince's desperate defense, how many people in those cities would still be alive? Come on, stand beside me in a moment. If anyone offends me, you can take action directly, no matter who it is."
"Yes, ma'am."
Ji Xiaosong led Zixi to the front yard at a leisurely pace, where she saw her father, mother, Ji Yan, and two younger brothers, all around fifteen or sixteen years old, waiting for her with unfriendly expressions.
Ji's father was the first to speak, coldly snorting, "You should understand that you are not worthy of someone as elegant and graceful as His Highness. But since His Majesty has already issued the decree, you have turned your luck around. When you get married, just remember to be of one mind with His Highness."
Madam Ji continued, "When the Crown Prince arrives later, you'd better behave yourself. If anything goes wrong, you'll be in big trouble!"
When Ji Yan and his two younger brothers saw Ji Xiaosong, they were all stunned.
Ji Xiaosong had eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, skin as white as snow, and lips red without lipstick. Her black hair cascaded down to her slender waist like a waterfall, and her overall temperament was extraordinary, like a fairy descending to earth.
Ji Yan was the first to come to her senses, her eyes filled with malice. She gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, she's just a vixen's face. What's so special about her? Maybe she survived in the countryside by serving random men."
After a moment of stunned silence, the two younger brothers came to their senses, their faces filled with disdain. One of them said, "So what if she's pretty? She's still an ill-mannered wild girl."
Another added, "Exactly, don't think you can rise to the top just because you look like that."
Ji Xiaosong remained expressionless, coldly looking at them, and said, "How I act is none of your business."
Just then, a servant ran up to report: "His Highness the Crown Prince's carriage will arrive in a quarter of an hour."
Father Ji glared at Ji Xiaosong and said, "Take advantage of this moment and say everything that needs to be said. Remember this: once you enter the palace, be careful with your words and actions, and don't ruin the Ji family's reputation!"
Ji Xiaosong sneered: "Reputation? You still have a reputation to speak of?"
She glanced at Zixi, and Zixi instantly understood what she needed to do.
