After returning to the Hundred Flowers Palace,
Jing Yi blocked Wei Ting resentfully. “Why didn’t you bring me out?”
You don’t have money… Wei Ting said seriously, “Heavenly Jade Hall is the pawn of the City Lord Manor. Who knows if we will bump into Xie Jinnian? If he sees the two of us standing together, he will definitely guess that we are the real murderers who killed Arhat Ming Shi.” Jing Yi said solemnly, “That’s not what you think.”
His son had grown up and was not easy to fool.
Wei Ting patted his shoulder. “I’ll bring you next time, okay?”
“Believe me, it’s definitely for your own good that I didn’t bring you along.”
After the Hundred Flower Palace came, Chu Feifeng clearly felt that Madam Ji’s mood was much worse.
Ji Minglou did not come over for dinner. Madam Ji’s mood worsened and she even vented her anger on a maidservant.
The little maidservant was punished and hid in a corner to cry.
Chu Feifeng quietly brought her two pancakes.
The little maidservant cried. “Thank you, Yunniang.”
Chu Feifeng comforted her and went to Madam Ji’s room to report this month’s accounts to her.
Madam Ji was still kind to Chu Feifeng.
After all, Chu Feifeng was too capable.
At first, she only took care of her courtyard. Later on, Madam Ji handed the entire back residence to her.
Chu Feifeng had been in charge of the Wei family for many years. She was capable and learned quickly. She did well and was liked by Madam Ji.
Madam Ji looked at the accounts that Chu Feifeng had done. It was clear at a glance.
There was finally something she liked today.
“Madam, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
“Yeah.”
Madam Ji nodded.
Chu Feifeng had just taken a few steps when Madam Ji suddenly stopped her. “Follow me to the City Lord Manor tomorrow.”
Chu Feifeng was delighted. After waiting for so long, she finally had the chance to enter the City Lord Manor.
She did not show it on her face and said softly, “Madam, have you forgotten? I’m going to the storeroom tomorrow to count the fabric. It’s time to prepare clothes for the servants for the next season.”
“That’s what I told you.” Madam Ji remembered.
If others had the chance to go to the City Lord Manor, wouldn’t they be in a hurry to follow?
Chu Feifeng’s actions made Madam Ji feel that she had a calm personality and was different from ordinary servants.
Madam Ji said, “Let Liuzhi count the fabric in the storeroom tomorrow.”
cnu Felteng Dowecl. “Yes.”
The next day, Madam Ji really brought Chu Feifeng to the City Lord Manor.
There were also two maids accompanying her.
Chu Feifeng was very quiet and would not take the initiative to please Madam Ji. Only when Madam Ji took the initiative to speak would she reply to her.
Every time, it was just right, making Madam Ji feel that Chu Feifeng was sensible.
After bringing Chu Feifeng out, Madam Ji already looked down on ordinary maids.
Madam Ji was there to visit Madam Ru.
Chu Feifeng did not know what the two of them had discussed. She and the two maidservants were guarding outside.
This was the first time Chu Feifeng had entered the City Lord Manor, so she acted very obediently.
About 15 minutes later, Madam Ji came out.
Chu Feifeng was a little surprised that it was so fast.
On the way back, Madam Ji went to the spice shop to buy some spices.
When Chu Feifeng was in the Wei family, she often mixed incense with her mother-in-law and was quite familiar with spices.
One of them was musk.
This was nothing, but the next day, when she went to Madam Ji’s room to get the account book, the other spices were still there, but the musk was gone.
Chu Feifeng had been by Madam Ji’s side for so long and knew her personality quite well.
Madam Ji would never be willing to reward such an expensive thing as musk to a servant.
If it was a gift, Madam Ji would definitely make a big fuss.
Chu Feifeng felt that Madam Ji’s actions were very strange.
Although it seemed to have nothing to do with the Wei family’s case for the time being, it was better to tell Little Seven.
Little Seven was smart. Perhaps he could think of some clues.
Chu Feifeng went to the Fire Slaughter Sect on the pretext of going out to buy something.
Lu Aotian was shocked.
Damn it!
That was fast!
Chu Feifeng handed the letter to Lu Aotian, who immediately sent it to the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Coincidentally, the three-day period was up. Su Xiaoxiao returned to the Hundred Flowers Palace with the three little ones.
Mother Palace Lord looked at the only phoenix left among the three. The other two had turned into little clay chickens covered in rouge and powder.
She asked slowly, “Erhu, Xiaohu, where’s your phoenix… chick?”
Xiaohu said proudly, “I exchanged it for food with Brother Xiao Zhu!”
The Palace Lord was speechless.
Xing’er and Ling Yin led the children to play with the Sihu
The Saintess sat on the roof in a daze.
The Palace Lord, Su Xiaoxiao, and the others sat around for a meeting.
On the small table in the middle was Chu Feifeng’s handwritten letter.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The Madam of the Heavenly Jade Hall is Madam Ruts sister-in-law. She only stayed for 15 minutes because Madam Ru had pregnancy complications and needed to rest. After that, the Madam immediately went to buy spices, and she used the musk.
“Other than being a spice, musk is also a medicinal herb. It can expel the wind and dissipate the cold, remove the wetness, and move the meridians. It is often used to treat fever, mental dizziness, circulation, and difficult labor. It can
also be used to accelerate labor.”
Jing Yi said, “Why did she have to accelerate the labor? Is she pregnant? Does she not want this child?”
Little boy, you’re really innocent.
Even if the first wife wanted to accelerate the delivery, it was most likely for her husband’s concubine.
However, after the Hall Master and Madam saw Madam Ru, it should not be Ji Minglou’s concubine needing to birth.
After all, Madam Ru was Ji Minglou’s biological sister. How could she harm her brother’s flesh and blood?
Wei Ting said, “Jing Yi, do you still remember how Madam Ruts maid addressed
Madam Ru on the streets that day?”
Jing Yi thought for a moment. “Madam?”
Wei Ting said, “Madam Ru has to give birth to a son to become the City Lord’s Madam. The fetus is still in her stomach, so it’s possible for it to be a boy or a girl. Unless she’s sure that the child in her stomach is definitely a boy. Can the physician ascertain from her pulse?” The last sentence was directed at Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No.’
The Palace Lord said, “Sour for boy and spicy for girl?” Su Xiaoxiao continued, “There’s no basis for this.” Wei Ting said, “Then there’s only one possibility left.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Swapping for Crown Prince.”
The Palace Lord was enlightened. “I see.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “In order to pass off as real, she must have found someone at the same stage of pregnancy. Moreover, in order to increase the success rate, there won’t be only one pregnant woman. However, because she fell a few days ago, she will give birth early. However, the others haven’t given birth yet, so they used musk to accelerate the delivery.”
Mother Palace Lord asked in confusion, “In that case, why did she ask Granny
Ghost to deliver her child? Isn’t she afraid of exposing herself?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “She’s either gambling or she’s openly inviting Granny Ghost, but she’ll actually arrange for someone to stop her from coming. Firstly, she’s doing this to show that she doesn’t feel guilty. Secondly, she can take the opportunity to frame her sworn enemy, saying that someone can’t bear to see her give birth safely.”
The Palace Lord slammed the table. “This bitch must be trying to frame the
Hundred Flowers Palace!”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “There’s another possibility. She’s confident that she can control Granny Ghost to help her cover up this lie. Sister-in-law’s letter came at the right time.”
Wei Ting agreed with Su Xiaoxiao. “Thank you, Mother. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so easy to see Sister-in-law.”
Mother Palace Lord felt too comfortable hearing that.
Ling Yun snorted.
Wei Ting said, “It’s inconvenient for her to move around outside. It’s all because of Madam Ji. As long as we keep an eye on Madam Ji, we can find those people.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, “If Madam Ru acts up, then the delivery will start… I’ll still bring the Saintess to live in the Nie family. If she really attacks Granny Nie, we can at least be on guard..”
