Chapter 144: Get it back

Chapter 144: Get it back

Even the eldest grandson is going to be beheaded?

Mrs. Jane flinched as she held the child.

Sister-in-law Jian was quite courageous. She hugged Yaozu and stuffed him into her sister-in-law’s arms: “Using the girl who lost money to exchange for the precious boy, in the end, the palace made a profit!

What is there to worry about? Maybe the prince will be so happy when he sees his daughter has become a boy that he won't hold you responsible for your mistake, sister-in-law?"

"No, sister-in-law," Concubine Jian explained softly, "That's the prince, he's not a fool."

"Why not?"

As she talked, Sister-in-law Jane had more creative ideas!

Her eyes sparkled, and her strong hands tugged at Concubine Jian's thin arm: "When your nephew grows up, he might be able to marry a daughter of a rich family in the palace."

Concubine Jian's eyes widened in disbelief: "Sister-in-law, what on earth are you thinking about? That's the prince's offspring!"

"Ouch"

Sister-in-law Jian waved her hands and said, "It is said that a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother. When your nephew grows up in the palace and has a good relationship with them, there will be so many rich girls that he can't bring back.

Mother, if Yaozu brings back several children at once, I’m afraid we won’t have anywhere to sleep!”

When Sister-in-law Jane thought of that scene, she felt both happy and worried.

Madam Jian thought about it seriously and said, "It's okay. When the time comes, let them all live in our Yaozu's room. Those who can't sleep can sleep on the floor in the yard."

Not only the maids, but even Concubine Jian thought that her sister-in-law was outrageous. Why did her own mother also become outrageous?

It has never been like this before!

Still can’t sleep?

"Mother," Concubine Jian hurriedly explained, "Those are the prince's descendants, not something Yaozu could dream of..."

The mother was unhappy when she heard this.

Sister-in-law Jian said dissatisfiedly: "Sister-in-law, what you said is very good. The daughter of the royal family is very good, but our Yaozu is not bad either. This is a boy.

If you think they are not good enough, then you can marry your daughter to our Yaozu. They are cousins, so that should be ok, right?"

This is even worse!

Although she grew up in the Jian family, Concubine Jian never thought of marrying her daughter back home, as the Jian family was not a good place.

Seeing that Concubine Jian didn't say anything, Madam Jian also advised: "You Ran, just agree to it. If your nephew marries this girl, the prince will definitely train Yaozu as a son-in-law.

You don't have to worry about this girl having a bad life if she marries someone else. Your sister-in-law is this girl's aunt. She is my granddaughter. We are the closest."

Seeing that Concubine Jian was slow to respond to Madam Jian's words, the maids also became anxious.

Concubine Jian, have you forgotten who took away the money you saved after living frugally?

Shaoyao was about to speak again when she heard Concubine Jian raise her head and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Mother, no, my daughter can't marry back to the Jian family!"

She could be soft-hearted towards her mother in this life, and could endure the grievances of being a concubine in a large mansion for the Jian family, but she could not let her daughter suffer the same pain.

Her daughter was not born to her mother (Mrs. Jian), but to the prince. She was born with a noble status and would live a good life without worries about food and drink.

Mrs. Jane was greatly humiliated by being rejected by her always obedient daughter.

Her face suddenly changed and she started to yell, "I am your mother. Now that you are married and living a good life, you don't care about your mother anymore?

what?

You unfilial daughter, are you still a human being?"

Sister-in-law Jian rolled her eyes, and she also sat on the ground with the child in her arms: "Oh! Sister-in-law, my mother is old.

She just wanted to talk to you, so she came here secretly. Don’t you understand her at all? She is your biological mother who gave birth to you and raised you.”

The noise instantly attracted the crowd.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. It sounds like her daughter is getting married and doesn't want to recognize her mother anymore."

"Oh my, how can my own mother not acknowledge me? This is something that will get me struck by lightning."

"I think it's okay. Once a daughter gets married, she belongs to another family. She should serve her husband, her parents-in-law, take good care of her children, and be humble to her sister-in-law and brother-in-law. She can't just think about her parents' home."

"makes sense"

"How can you talk like that? How can you deny your own mother? That would be extremely unfilial!"

Concubine Jian was surrounded by a group of people watching the fun and talking about her, and she became even more at a loss.

"Mom, please stop talking. There are so many people watching us..."

Mrs. Jane did not have the shamelessness of her daughter-in-law who was ready to sit on the ground and make trouble at any time, but she had also been hanging around in the market for many years. At this moment, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and did not forget to hold her granddaughter in her arms with one hand.

This is an important bargaining chip. Mrs. Jane knew from the beginning that if she brought the child over, her daughter would never leave the child alone.

She said sadly, "My daughter, now that you live a good life with gold and silver, you look down on your family who have to eat coarse food."

"Mom, I don't have it"

"If not, then agree to mother's request. This is mother's plea to you. Mother has never begged you for anything in her life." After saying that, Madam Jian pretended to kneel down, but Concubine Jian hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

An aunt in the crowd kindly said, "Sister, no matter what, she is your mother, just agree to her."

"That's right, she even knelt down and begged you."

"...If you can't even be filial to your own mother, are you still a human being?"

"Some people are no different from animals in human skin."

Concubine Jian felt despair after hearing what she said. Is this how she and her daughter will live their entire lives?

Did she really do something wrong?

"what 's wrong?"

Concubine Lou frowned and came over to ask.

The maidservant beside her pushed through the dense crowd in a tough manner, clearing a clear path for her master.

This caused dissatisfaction among the onlookers, but when they saw that the person who came was a lady with outstanding temperament and elegant dress, all their dissatisfaction could only be suppressed in their hearts.

Concubine Jian was at a loss and didn't know how to answer.

With so many people around, she didn't dare to reveal her identity, so as not to lose face for the palace, so she could only whisper, "Sister Lou."

Concubine Lou glanced at the people present and said, "What are you doing here? Let's go!"

Saying that, he was about to leave.

There are so many people here, and there are always some with presumptuous looks. Besides, ordinary people cannot bathe frequently, and the smell on their bodies is particularly bad. She doesn't want to stay here at all.

If Concubine Lou hadn't seen that the people surrounded in the middle were concubines of the palace, she would never have come over.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jian was about to leave. Sister-in-law Jian, who had reacted, immediately said with caution: "Where are you taking my sister-in-law? She hasn't finished talking to her mother yet."

Looking at this noble man who looked very powerful, Mrs. Jane thought about her poor grandson, who was born in their poor family. If she, as a grandmother, did not fight for him, how would the child survive in the future?

In the end, her love for her grandson prevailed, and she gritted her teeth and followed her daughter-in-law's example and said boldly, "I want to talk to my daughter. No one can interfere, right?"

Sister-in-law Jian sat on the ground and went crazy, crying loudly with snot and tears: "Mom! My poor mother, can't you see? Your daughter is used to a good life, and she has long forgotten you, her mother, in her heart."

Concubine Lou was a little overwhelmed by this sudden howl.

She had never lived a life of luxury since she was a child, but as the daughter of an official, she had to deal with people who valued her reputation very much, and had never encountered such a... big scene.

Some were annoyed that there were not enough people to rescue them directly from these people.

As a common citizen who doesn't care much about her face, Mrs. Jane was quite bold. She acted like a rogue as soon as she closed her eyes.

She had long thought that these wealthy families valued their reputation, and if she made a fuss, they might use money to get rid of her.

As for danger, of course there is, but they are my sister-in-law's family.

How could the sister-in-law just watch her family being troubled?

I will definitely plead for them when the time comes.

Mrs. Jane and Sister-in-law Jane were both crying and howling, and the show was very effective.

More and more people gathered around to watch.

Sister-in-law Jian even wanted to drag Concubine Lou to judge the matter.

Concubine Lou looked very unhappy.

Concubine Jian looked at Concubine Lou with tears in her eyes: "Sister Lou, please go first and don't worry about me."

I just want to ask, in this situation, how can we move forward without solving the problem?

She took a deep breath and was choked by the increasingly strong human stench.

"What's going on? How did you offend them?"

A son never speaks of his mother's faults, and Concubine Jian doesn't know how to start the conversation.

Shaoyao quickly recounted the story.

Concubine Lou turned her gaze to the child held by Madam Jian, and her expression became even uglier.

"The child must be brought back!"

Noticing their gazes, Mrs. Jane held the child even tighter.

The child felt pain and started crying loudly.

The scene became even more lively.

Concubine Jian couldn't help but beg: "Mother, please don't use more force, the child will feel pain"

"Won't it be painful for me if my child loves you?" In order to make her daughter "change her mind", Mrs. Jane held the child even tighter.

Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers were forcefully pushed apart from the left and right.

The onlookers were dissatisfied and turned their heads to look.

Then a beautiful woman wearing a veil, who looked extraordinary, walked in.

Without talking about this, just look at the strong men who are pulling them. Their fists are as big as sandbags. They can knock down a bunch of people with one punch and make people swallow all their complaints.

The person who came was Ji Yunqing.

Not far behind her, the concubine Qian was following her stealthily.

Not only Concubine Lou, but Concubine Qian also noticed the commotion here, but she didn't dare to step forward. It was precisely because of Concubine Cen that she vaguely knew where Ji Yunqing was.

I told her immediately.

At that time, King Zhao went to discuss scriptures with the old monk again, and told her to wait outside.

Ji Yunqing immediately threw the child to Eunuch Shi, ordered a series of palace guards and left.

With so many guards, it was not possible for a concubine like her to command them at the beginning.

It was by chance that she met Concubine Wen. She heard that Concubine Jian was in trouble, so she "borrowed" her out using her status as a concubine.

After arriving at the scene, Ji Yunqing said nothing. The first thing he saw was the child being held by Mrs. Jian.

The reason was simple: the swaddling clothes produced by the palace were extremely exquisite and were completely different from the clothes the woman was wearing.

Ji Yunqing took three or two steps forward and acted as fast as lightning, snatching the child from Mrs. Jian's hands.

Mrs. Jian was horrified and rushed to grab it, but was kicked back by Ji Yunqing.

Ji Yunqing immediately retreated among the many guards.

She shouted: "Why are you robbing people? Help me..."

The onlookers also became angry: "How can you rob people?"

But no one dared to act rashly.

After all, having so many strong men is not something that ordinary people can have.

Ji Yunqing cleared his throat and said loudly: "Is this your child? Do you think you are right to snatch the child?"

"And you guys, why don't you open your eyes and see how exquisite this cloth is? How could it be bought by that woman? She was able to snatch the child in the street, and you all contributed to it!"

The onlookers were not stupid either. Once reminded, they also saw the flaw.

But as we all know, there are always some fools in the world who can take care of themselves and look like normal people. Their IQ is questionable, but they always think they are right.

He said stubbornly, "Couldn't it be that they are kind to the child? Or was this thing picked up?"

"That makes sense, but this is my child!"

Ji Yunqing probably listened to what Concubine Qian told her, and looked at Madam Jian: "As a mother, are you planning to force your daughter to death?"

Mrs. Jane was exposed and lost her child, so she looked particularly unhappy.

At this time, I tried to hold on and said, "...I am also thinking about her."

Ji Yunqing spoke in a loud voice that everyone could hear: "After your daughter married into her husband's family, she has subsidized her parents' family a lot. It must be at least 500 taels of silver, right? Now that you are out of money, do you plan to use your granddaughter to get more money?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Five hundred taels of silver!

Oh my god!

That's money that ordinary people can never earn in their entire life, right?

Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were throwing a tantrum.

Is this what it means to be unfilial?

Sensing something was wrong, Sister-in-law Jian immediately shouted, "Who are you? How dare you control us?"

Ji Yunqing waved his arm and said, "It's very simple. This is extortion. How dare you hurt the children? Take them away!"

After saying that, she took the child and left first.

The guards following behind captured the two women and took them away.

This time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were really panicked.

They shouted, "Sister-in-law, help!"

"You Ran, quickly tell someone to let your mother go."

But it was no use. Concubine Jian was gentle in nature and could only cry silently.

The guard was annoyed by the noise, so he picked up two stones and stuffed them into the mouths of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then they quieted down.

Ji Yunqing walked very quickly, and only felt relieved when he returned to King Zhao.

At this time, King Zhao was standing outside, and there was an old monk standing on the other side, and the two were talking about something.

Eunuch Shi was frantically trying to coax the child, with a worried look on his face: "Little Ancestor, stop crying, didn't you just have your milk?"

He glanced at the prince and realized he didn't have the courage to push the child into the prince's arms like Master Ji had done.

When Eunuch Shi saw Ji Yunqing coming back, he was the first to notice it.

As if he was finally rescued: "Master Ji, you are finally back!"
