Chapter 22: Former Fiancé
Prince Zhao looked at Madam Ji with his sharp eyes, turning the jade ring in his hand: "What exactly is this 'Chengcheng'? Madam Ji, please explain it to me."
There was no other way, Madam Ji could only grit her teeth and say, "Your Highness, this Chengcheng, Chengcheng is actually... the fiancé of my second daughter."
As soon as she said this, it seemed as if she had used up all her strength.
She tried her best to comfort herself in her heart. Although Zeng Cheng was an orphan, fortunately she had worked hard and was about to make it. It would not be too unfair for her daughter to be paired with him.
Although the other party has a tough life, he will be easy to control in the future. As long as he treats my daughter well, it will be fine.
My daughter has been spoiled by her nature, so she should find someone who can spoil her in the future.
...But, I still feel that my daughter is very wronged!
The son-in-law in her mind should be someone with an outstanding family background, devoted to her daughter, capable, and able to help her daughter become a noble lady at an early age.
This is how her life will be, her daughter deserves something better.
Instead of a man who has two mistresses before getting married, one of whom has given birth to a child who is three years old, and the other mistress is also pregnant, but it is unknown whether she is pregnant or not.
At this time, Miss Ji Er took the opportunity to break free from Mrs. Ji's hand and shouted loudly: "No, it's not like that!"
However, Mrs. Ji, who had reacted quickly, covered her mouth tightly.
She explained to King Zhao with difficulty: "My husband and I think the child is great, but the child doesn't like it very much. However, it has always been the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Sooner or later, she will wake up."
Even if the child doesn't want to, can't he go back and think of a solution?
Do you have to make a fuss now?
King Zhao said, "Since Miss Ji doesn't like it, Madam Ji shouldn't force it."
After saying that, he looked at Ji Yunqing again.
Ji Yunqing sighed that Madam Ji was quite quick to react, while making up for this not-so-good lie: "What the prince said is true, but who told my father to admire that young master? Since my father is determined, who can do anything about it?"
After this incident, Mrs. Ji quickly said goodbye and left. Before leaving, because the prince was still there, Ji Yunqing asked Xuancao to see him off.
After Hemerocallis came back, Ji Yunqing keenly noticed that Hemerocallis's face looked strange and her eyes were evasive.
She frowned. Could it be that this stepmother had acted up again before leaving?
But now she couldn't ask, so she could only suppress her thoughts and accompany King Zhao. The two of them practiced calligraphy for a while.
——It was mainly King Zhao who taught Ji Yunqing how to write.
Ji Yunqing held the pen in one hand and lifted up his wide sleeves with the other, and wrote the two words "crab" with great heroic spirit.
It has filled the entire paper and there is no room for anything else.
Looking at the results, they both fell silent.
Ji Yunqing: ...Just to express my opinion!
I wanted to get a big one, but I ended up pooping a big one.
She simply looked at King Zhao standing beside her as if asking for help: "Your Majesty, this is what I wrote. I have tried my best."
"you this……"
King Zhao was silent and pondered.
He was just about to say what disgusting stuff this was and asked him to write ten big characters every day!
Then I thought again, on ten pieces of paper, this woman could only write twenty words at most.
She was so cheap.
"I will teach you how to write your name first."
After saying that, he hugged the other person's body from behind, and his large palm tightly wrapped around the woman's hand holding the pen.
Adjust her pen-holding posture first, and then start writing.
"Don't be nervous, just watch how I write..."
The two of them practiced for a full hour and wrote countless sheets of paper before Ji Yunqing was finally able to write two words that were barely legible.
King Zhao finally left satisfied.
After making sure that the person had left, the smile on Ji Yunqing's face immediately disappeared, and he shouted repeatedly: "Xuancao, come here."
At this time, Hemerocallis had been waiting for a long time. Worried that someone would notice something, she tried her best to remain calm.
When her master called her, she went in immediately.
After entering, she didn't say much, but took out an envelope from her sleeve and lowered her voice: "Master, this is what Madam Ji secretly gave to me before she left."
She didn't know what was said in the letter, but the fact that the other party secretly slipped the letter into her mouth proved that this was not a letter that could be published in a decent manner.
She hesitated and felt that she was a bit rash by taking the initiative to accept the letter.
But at that time, if she didn't care, she didn't know whether Madam Ji would give the letter to someone else. What if the letter fell into the hands of others and the content was leaked...
Xuancao didn't dare to think too much, she took the initiative to say: "Master, otherwise let me help you open it, I can't read."
No peeking at mail.
"No need. They won't poison the letter."
He quickly tore open the envelope and Ji Yunqing's eyes fixed.
The handwriting on this letter is very familiar, and the signature on it is even more familiar.
After reading it, Ji Yunqing snorted in his heart.
This letter has no other meaning. The whole letter mainly describes the good times that the original body and her fiancé once had together, and then states that the fiancé missed her very much, and finally said that he missed her very much.
At the end, a romantic poem is written to express the endless love.
Between the lines, there is no lack of his inferiority complex, and his hope that Ji Yunqing can speak well of him in front of the prince.
If he becomes rich and powerful in the future, maybe he can bring Ji Yunqing out and they can continue their happy marriage.
However, he did not write it explicitly, but guided the readers secretly so that they would take the initiative to achieve his goal.
After reading it, Ji Yunqing sneered.
If this was the original little girl, she would probably be deceived.
But the person reading the letter now is a cold-blooded and heartless person, Ji Yunqing, a modern person who has been single for more than 20 years. She saw through the man's conspiracy at a glance.
I didn't go to King Zhao to try to find a way to suppress him. When dealing with such a person, it is best to ignore him to avoid making things worse in the end.
Ji Yunqing is well versed in novel routines. Generally, those who are suppressed tend to become the protagonists, so wouldn’t she become a vicious villain?
Slowly burning the letter, Ji Yunqing said calmly: "I haven't read this letter, and you don't know it either, understand?"
Seeing that the letters were all burned, Xuancao was relieved and nodded repeatedly: "Master, I understand everything. I didn't tell anyone."
The master and servant here had a common little secret, and the news spread quickly in other courtyards, causing an uproar.
Princess Courtyard
The princess looked at the account book in her hand and said indifferently, "Your Highness can go wherever he wants."
If you go there more often, maybe you can have a child.
The stout Madam Lou standing next to them was so anxious that she turned around and around, "Oh my, young master, this time is different."
"What's the difference? Don't they both favor concubines?" She said, turning a page and continuing to count.
"How can this be the same? Master, think about it, in this entire mansion, there is no courtyard without people coming, but the prince went to the courtyard of that little demon. Do you know what this means?"
The princess remained calm and composed: "What does it mean?"
