Chapter 519
Sitting in the misty hot water, Ji Yunqing finally calmed down and thought about the whole thing.
She stared at the closed door - she originally turned her back to the door to avoid being seen directly by people who came in, but later she found that staring at the door made her feel safer - and was thinking seriously about something.
She was more inclined to believe that what happened to her and Concubine He today was done by someone outside the mansion.
After all, Concubine Liu is no longer Concubine Liu. Her current identity is the Holy Lady of Southern Xinjiang. It is normal for her to want to kill King Zhao.
Perhaps there were other people who collaborated with Concubine Liu. After all, Concubine Liu had only lived in the palace for a few months, so it was not easy for her to do so many things so quickly.
and also……
Ji Yunqing recalled that not long after she entered the mansion, someone in the mansion became pregnant. A concubine lost her child accidentally, and then one day she lost control of her emotions.
The medicine just happened to have the same effect as the one on the envelope.
Is there any connection between these?
Finally, Ji Yunqing quickly shook her head. She was thinking too much at once and felt dizzy.
But she couldn't rest yet, as King Zhao was still waiting outside.
If Ji Yunqing hadn't used the excuse that a poisonous insect was crawling through her body, she would have to take a shower quickly and wouldn't have had the free time to think about all sorts of things now.
After taking a bath and feeling refreshed, Ji Yunqing saw King Zhao drinking tea and Ruirui standing beside him with puffy cheeks.
As soon as she saw her mother, Ruirui came over immediately.
He shouted crisply, "Mother!"
Ji Yunqing's expression softened instantly: "Didn't I tell you to go live with your father? Why are you back?"
Although she is sure that there are no bugs now that she has taken a bath, what if there are some left?
King Zhao is old and thick-skinned, so he doesn't care, but Ruirui is still young.
When Ruirui was mentioned, she immediately became worried, and her little eyebrows were twisted.
"Mother, you don't want me to come back, is it because a piece of our courtyard wall collapsed?"
Ruirui said this as she skillfully rolled up her sleeves, revealing her tender little arms.
Eager to try: "I can help repair the wall, but I have never repaired a wall before."
Diligent Ruirui, online job search
Ji Yunqing's mouth twitched. Why does this silly child want to do everything?
"Why are you learning this? Are you going to build a house in the future?"
Ruirui's round eyes lit up. She didn't expect there was such a method.
He got even more excited.
He promised loudly: "Mom, I will build a house to support you in the future!"
I didn’t expect that besides growing vegetables, weaving bamboo baskets, painting, making lanterns, and building houses, I could also make money to support my family!
The variety of work he could find in the future would increase.
"Mom, I will be able to support you soon"
Ruirui patted his chest and proudly said that he knew everything.
It’s enough to support a family.
Before Ji Yunqing could feel moved, a big hand suddenly landed on the little guy's head.
King Zhao sneered: "What good things are you thinking? As long as I am here, your mother doesn't need you to support her."
He originally thought, for Ji Yunqing's sake, that although this kid was a little troublesome, he didn't seem like someone who would seek power and usurp the throne. But now, listen to what he said!
It seems that this kid has had bad intentions since he was a child.
"What's wrong with me? Can't I support my mother? You should also support your mother."
Ruirui had already had an opinion, and raised her head to ask confidently: "Why should my mother give you half? Don't you have your own mother?"
King Zhao was so angry that he laughed.
Just as he was about to teach this kid a lesson, he heard Ji Yunqing say, "The atmosphere between you two is so warm, you are indeed father and son.
It’s getting late, I’ll go see if I should have dinner.” She turned around and walked away quickly.
Don't stay here for long!
The focus of the argument between the two people now is her. No matter how she tries to mediate, it will be inappropriate. She'd better avoid it for now.
Once the source of the conflict is gone, the matter will not become a big deal.
Just as Ji Yunqing thought, in the evening, the family of three sat happily at the table and had a meal.
After dinner, Ji Yunqing urged the father and son to leave.
She decided to turn the entire yard over and sprinkle some insect repellent powder or something, so she handed Ruirui a small flowery leather bag.
As the father and son were reluctant to leave, Ji Yunqing announced: "Rui Rui, please come back after the wall is repaired!"
"Mother..."
Ruirui looked at Ji Yunqing pitifully, he didn't want to leave.
He could obviously live in his mother's yard, so why should he leave with his father?
King Zhao was not happy in his heart, because he could obviously leave tomorrow morning. However, seeing the little guy's reluctant look, King Zhao still held the little guy firmly.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of this little guy."
He even promised: "You can also let him live with me in the future."
Ruirui’s eyes widened instantly: Mom, someone is telling a horror story!
……
Two days had passed since Concubine Liu and Concubine He were poisoned.
Ji Yunqing sat in the yard, watching Ruirui, who was building a wall seriously with a small shovel in hand, standing between two bricklayers. It really looked like the real thing.
The children still remember that they should learn a skill so that they can support their family in the future.
She didn't stop the child. As long as there was no danger, the child could play whatever he wanted. It was no big deal.
But Nanny An beside her didn't think so: "Oh, look at the fourth young master, his whole body is covered with mud, how can he wash it?"
"fine"
Ji Yunqing said in a leisurely tone: "I specially asked him to change into a set of old clothes. He won't want to wear them after this time. Don't worry about not being able to wash them clean."
Nanny An looked at her concubine with a hard-to-tell expression: "..."
How could she be worried about just a few pieces of clothes?
Not to mention a few old clothes, she would not even care about new clothes woven with gold and silver threads.
She was worried that the Fourth Young Master would be exhausted. I really don't know why the concubine doesn't feel sorry for the Fourth Young Master at all!
Not only did Ji Yunqing not feel distressed, she even closed her eyes and refused to look.
What's there to be sad about?
The bricks for building the wall were carried up by others, and he was only responsible for pasting the wall with a small shovel. The child would rest by himself when he was tired.
When the wall was built to a high place where Ruirui couldn't reach it, he didn't leave, but stood by and watched carefully like a little supervisor.
It can be seen that he is very dedicated to this craft.
After the wall was repaired and Ruirui was washed clean by the maids, she ran to her mother in new clothes and said confidently, "Mom, I can build a wall!"
Ji Yunqing opened his eyes lazily: "Amazing!"
Ruirui was extremely happy after hearing his mother's praise.
He held his little face high and puffed out his little chest proudly. He wished that the wall would collapse a little more.
This way he can practice for a while longer.
Oh my, why don’t Concubine He push down another wall?
But it would be better if it wasn’t the wall in my mother’s yard.
My mother said Ruirui was too cute, and before the wall was repaired, if he lived here, someone would steal him away at night.
So he had to wait until the wall was repaired before he could come back.
If Concubine He pushed down the wall of her own yard, he could also go there to practice!
He was not familiar with Concubine He, so why didn't Concubine He push down the wall against her father?
