Chapter 160 Rejection
After listening to this, Ji Yunqing asked some more details before he was sure that Miss Ji II was really so unlucky.
"Mother, what does father say about this?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ji's eyes flickered: "Your father is a nobody, he has no power even if he wants to, he still needs your support as his sister."
Ji Yunqing shook his head and said seriously, "Mother, you are wrong. As the saying goes, parents' orders and matchmaker's words are final. For such a big matter as breaking off an engagement, it is still up to father to make the decision personally."
No matter how much Mrs. Ji begged, Ji Yunqing refused to agree.
In fact, she also felt that the prince of the general's mansion was not very good, but then again, Miss Ji had her own parents, and she could obviously withdraw from the marriage if she tried hard, but after withdrawing, she was afraid that she would be targeted by the people in the general's mansion.
But it's just being targeted.
How?
Could the general's mansion really kill them just because of a disagreement over breaking off an engagement?
This is impossible!
If that's the case, why would she rush to help and take the initiative to be the bad guy?
Judging from the character of this family, will they be grateful to her?
In the end, she might even be branded as a bully.
After Ji Yunqing figured it out, she asked Madam Ji, "You didn't discuss the engagement with me at the beginning. What's the point of breaking off the engagement with me now?"
Madam Ji was speechless and stammered, "How can you, a married lady, interfere... interfere..."
"So I'm not marrying out now? Can I interfere again?"
Ji Yunqing's questions one after another left Mrs. Ji speechless.
Seeing her mother being embarrassed, Miss Ji was very angry and said angrily: "If you don't want to help, then don't. Why do you have to force your mother like this?"
Ji Yunqing immediately looked at the second sister: "I won't force her. Second sister, are you planning to marry him? It's up to you to make your decision."
Anyway, she had made up her mind not to get involved.
Seeing that Ji Yunqing was so stubborn, the mother and daughter of the Ji family had no choice but to leave for the time being.
After leaving the yard, the mother and daughter of the Ji family walked out slowly.
Miss Ji looked around from time to time. She could see King Zhao every time she came here twice before.
Why didn't King Zhao show up when Ji Yunqing bullied her this time?
Could it be that that bitch Ji Yunqing deliberately stopped the prince?
Or maybe the prince really didn't come today.
Miss Ji's steps were getting slower and slower. She wanted to delay a little longer. What if she happened to run into the prince?
With the experience from her previous life as a blessing, Miss Ji Er is very confident that the prince will definitely be impressed once he meets her.
If the prince took the initiative to propose to take her into the palace, I believe the general's mansion would not dare to say a word.
But even after the mother and daughter had walked halfway, they still hadn't waited for the person they wanted.
At this time, the mother and daughter of the Ji family suddenly heard a whisper.
A voice exclaimed, "What? Isn't that Manager Chen your fiancé? How did he become your cousin's fiancé?"
Another maid said in a frustrated tone, "Don't mention it. Manager Chen is young and handsome, and he's also the chief manager of the mansion. So what if I get engaged to him? My cousin is younger and prettier than me. Don't men like young and beautiful women?"
Men like young and beautiful
Miss Ji touched her smooth and delicate face, and her already determined heart became even more determined.
She was about to leave, but when she heard what followed, she couldn't move her feet.
"You are not young anymore, what are you going to do?"
"I have quietly inquired about the prince's concubines. Several of them have reached the age of marriage and have been given dowries by the palace. I can go and give it a try."
A concubine?
Second Miss Ji frowned in dissatisfaction, feeling a little contempt in her heart. These little maids were just dreaming of becoming a concubine's maid.
Another maid hesitantly advised: "Have you thought it through? Being a concubine is different from other concubines. It requires the prince's personal approval. I'm not saying that you are not good, but you have been engaged before, and your age is not an advantage."
The maid chuckled and said cheerfully, "You don't know that the prince is in the mansion today. He is drinking with Prince Lie in Mingxiang Garden. Men tend to get confused when they drink..."
The ears of the Ji family's mother and daughter moved, and their eyes lit up at the same time.
Mingxiang Garden?
Now that we have the specific location, this is easy!
Although the second Miss Ji did not tell Madam Ji about King Zhao ascending the throne in the previous life, it was easy for Madam Ji to figure it out. As long as she could get close to King Zhao, would she be afraid of not being able to take over the General's Mansion?
Anyway, that little bitch Ji Yunqing can become a concubine. It seems that there is really no one left in the palace. When her biological daughter enters the palace, won't she be a concubine for sure?
Maybe the vacant position of concubine in the mansion was reserved for his own daughter.
Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Although this behavior is a bit risky, it is all worth it!
The mother and daughter of the Ji family made a decision at the same time, now!
——After all, they couldn’t meet King Zhao anywhere else. The banquets that a prince could attend were of a very high standard, and they were not qualified to attend.
This may be the only chance.
Miss Ji Er glanced at the little maid who was leading the way seriously in front. It was Ji Yunqing who sent her out to lead the way.
This must be dealt with first.
With a turn of her eyes, Miss Ji stepped forward and said warmly, "Miss, I have rarely seen such a beautiful place. It seems like a fairyland on earth. Can we take a walk here?"
She said this with a smile and handed her a silver ingot.
Did you hear what Ruyi Xin's maid just said? I have ears too!
She took the silver and cleared her throat, saying, "Mrs. Ji, Second Miss Ji, this is against the rules, but since you are so sincere, I will take you for a walk for a while, just for a while!"
Miss Ji Er handed over another ingot of silver and said with a smile, "This will delay the girl's work. Why don't we just go for a walk by ourselves? We know this road anyway.
Look, the second gate is not far ahead, right? "After the second gate, it is the front yard. The maids in the back yard usually don't go out of the second gate.
But the little maid still insisted on sending the person over.
Miss Ji cursed in her heart. If she were really asked to send it over, there would be maids to pick her up there. How could they seduce the prince?
Suddenly, a little maid came hurriedly.
In an anxious tone, he said, "Sister Ruyi, why are you still here? The master was looking for you just now, go and see him!"
After saying this, the little maidservant left in a hurry again, seeming to be very busy.
Ruyi is now in a dilemma.
Could it be that the master really has something to do with her?
I wanted to ask the little maid what happened, but now she is nowhere to be seen.
Madam Ji stepped forward and comforted her, "Miss Ruyi, since you have something to do, go and do it first. At worst, you can go back and take a look, and come back when you have time. The rest of the way is not far, and we mother and daughter both know it."
As she spoke, she quietly slipped a silver note to Ruyi.
He lowered his voice and said, "It would be good for us to enjoy the beautiful scenery here for a while, and it wouldn't delay anything."
Only then was Ruyi persuaded and chose to leave.
"Mrs. Ji has agreed that we can only stay here and watch. Please leave immediately. When I am done with my work, I will come and take a look."
Mrs. Ji readily agreed: "Don't worry, young lady."
After everyone left, Miss Ji II acted coquettishly towards Madam Ji: "Mother, what if that stupid maid reacts and goes back to tell that little bitch, wouldn't that ruin our business?"
Mrs. Ji patted her hand soothingly, and said lovingly: "Don't worry, this kind of thing also needs people to see it"
What if no one sees it and King Zhao denies his mistake?
Only then did Miss Ji Er understand her mother's deep meaning.
Now she is looking forward to Ji Yunqing coming over.
After the mother and daughter left, two people stood in an inconspicuous place in the distance.
"It's really a bargain for them!"
Xiang'er didn't understand why her master was making such a fuss. "Master, why did you bring Miss Ji Er into the mansion?"
Does the master like to have many people competing with her for men?
Xiang'er couldn't figure it out.
