Chapter 187: The Black Belly Prince (Spring Festival Plus Update)
Ji Qingling stroked her slender waist with her right hand, gritted her teeth, and asked her father Ji Mochu in a deep voice
"Daddy. During the time when her daughter was in Yancheng, she almost ended up on the streets and became a beggar. In order to come back, return to the imperial city to take care of her mother, who has not yet recovered, and...... Father. The daughter asked Du Gongzi to borrow money.
But Dad, you actually beat me. ”
The road from Yancheng to the Imperial City is thousands of miles away. She rushed back in such a hurry to reunite with her family, but not to go home and be beaten.
A flash of resentment flashed in his eyes, and Ji Qingling's fierce eyes fell on the inner room on the right side of the hall. I saw Niu Jiaoxing crossing her waist with one hand, lifting the bead curtain with the other, and her provocative eyes were on her face.
Ji Qing's aura eyes were full of stars, gritted his teeth and pointed to Niu Jiaoxing, who was hiding in the inner room and eavesdropping, and asked Ji Mochu, "Dad." Is it in your eyes that even your daughter has become a burden to you? ”
"Ling'er ......"
The daughter has grown up, and she is no longer the little woman who says what he says and she listens to.
Ji Mochu stretched out his hand and gently patted Ji Qingling's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Ling'er will sit down for a while, and Dad will come when he goes." ”
As he was talking, Ji Mochu moved the carved wooden chair next to the wooden table and motioned for Ji Qingling to sit and wait.
Seeing Ji Mochu's tall figure walking towards the inner room, the smile on Niu Jiaoxing's face became more and more nervous. She had just crossed her waist with one hand before, but now she simply clasped her hands on her chest.
Just waiting for Ji Mochu's figure to approach, Niu Jiaoxing reached out delicately and hooked Ji Mochu's neck. Softly called "Master!" ”
Ji Qingling, who listened to it, only felt goosebumps on his body, and suddenly shook off the ground. She wanted to run over and tear Niu Jiaoxing apart.
The door to the inner chamber was concealed.
Soon, there were words in the inner room about Ji Mochu and Niu Jiaoxing's scolding.
Ji Qingling snorted coldly, thinking that Niu Jiaoxing was young, who was not good to marry, she had to marry her father as a concubine? What is there to be angry about being a concubine?
When she enters the palace and becomes a princess, let alone clean up Niu Jiaoxing. It is very easy to drive Niu Jiaoxing's mother's family back to Yuheng Village to be tenant farmers.
Ji Qingling sat on the carved wooden chair and waited for a long time, until his mouth was dry, and he sat in the cold hall like an ice cellar, sneezing. Her father, Ji Mochu, slowly opened the door and walked out of the inner room.
"Ling'er, heh."
Ji Mochu rolled up his sleeves, smiled a little embarrassedly, and asked, "You have been here for so long, and you haven't told your father yet, why did you go to Yancheng?"
Is it because Prince Xiao went to Yancheng for disaster relief, did you go? ”
"Not exactly."
The question of why he wanted to go to Yancheng, in fact, even Ji Qingling couldn't answer it himself.
She only knew that the main purpose of her going to Yancheng was to show her face in front of Prince Xiao more. The secondary purpose is to go to Yancheng to teach the family of that Niu Jiaoxing.
Who knew that when she arrived in Yancheng after a lot of hardships, she realized how unrealistic her own ideas were.
With her ability, not only could she not teach others, but she almost ended up on the streets.
When she was in the city, she encountered all kinds of injustices. When her father asked, she told her father truthfully. Even she was almost abducted by a woman in the ancient alley in the north of the city, she also told it.
"If my daughter hadn't met the two brothers and sisters of the Du family, I am afraid that she would have been abducted into Yicui Building by that vicious woman."
"Since you're in Yancheng, why don't you go to your grandmother?"
Ji Mochu's sword eyebrows were raised, and he said angrily, "For my father, I am an official in the court with your Uncle Du, and you and your mother borrow money from him and his family at every turn."
Have you ever considered the consequences of doing that? ”
“……”
Before and after, Ji Qingling, her mother and the Du family borrowed about eighty taels of silver.
Eighty taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for Du Fu, but for her and her mother, it is really a big deal.
But who wants to borrow money from someone else? If there is a little way to think of it, she will not bow her head and borrow money from Du Xueqiang.
Although the first IOU was written in Ji Qingge's name, it was also discovered. After that, he was asked to re-establish the IOU and repay the interest.
"Dad, if only Ling'er could find her grandmother. So why ask outsiders to borrow money? ”
The corners of Ji Qingling's lips curled up with a touch of mockery, and said, "I only heard about my grandmother's imprisonment when I was wandering around Embroidery Street. ”
"What?"
Her words exploded in Ji Mochu's ears like a thunderbolt. He almost failed to stand firmly, but he finally regained his composure before he said in a deep voice
"Who is so bold? Is...... Idiot? ”
"Haha."
Ji Qingling sneered twice, and her eyes swept over her father's face that had become hideous and terrifying because of anger. Sarcastic Word
"Grandmother's imprisonment should be related to both the fool and Prince Xiao. But there is also a credit from my father. ”
"Presumptuous!"
Ji Mochu raised his eyebrows fiercely, furious.
"Dad, it's not that Ling'er is disobedient and unfilial, and he wants to offend his father in words. It's really because of some things that my father did in his early years, and a woman named Xin Xiu in Yancheng told me about it, and many people knew about it.
Because Xin Xiu is the widow of a loyal general, General Yan Li wants to seek justice for her.
That's why my grandmother was convicted and imprisoned. ”
As soon as Ji Qingling's words fell, Ji Mochu's fist slammed into the wooden table. A small porcelain bowl on the table was almost rolled to the ground by shock.
Fortunately, Ji Mochu found it in time and caught the small porcelain bowl when it was about to fall.
"Xin Xiu, the person who broke my father's good deeds, it turned out to be her?"
"Haha, Dad. She's not necessarily doing bad things for you. She doesn't talk about those old things, and when people in Yancheng mention her father, at most they will only say that Ji Mochu is General Ji's younger brother......"
"You mouthy girl!" Ji Mo raised his hand angrily.
"Alright, Dad. It's all over, what's the use of you being angry now? ”
Ji Qingling said truthfully
"My grandmother has left the prison and returned home safely. It's just a pity that my father's treasures were all taken by Niu Chuxi's old forget i1 eight to honor Yan Muqian. ”
"Your grandmother is old, so Yan Muqian can't bear to let her go to prison? Treasure? Ji Mochu looked stunned and asked in a low voice
"All taught?"
"Hmm."
Ji Qingling nodded slightly, and said, "The treasures that my father stored in my grandmother's place are all for my grandmother to ...... took it and gave it to Yan Muqian, in exchange for personal freedom. ”
"Yan Mu's potential is suffering?"
Ji Mochu sneered twice, and said sarcastically, "It must be that fool who blew some pillow wind for Prince Xiao again, and took back your eldest aunt's relics in the name of Yan Muqian." ”
"It was exactly as Dad expected."
A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and Ji Qingling said truthfully, "It is said that in order to thank Yan Muqian, Yan Li promised to let Yan Assassin the Ninth Miss of the Shifu be successfully selected as the princess." ”
The treasure that Ji Mochu saved was just a small gift from Lord Yan Tingshi to Prince Xiao.
Think about when she begged her father to treat her mother, her father was so stingy, it was like taking a knife and cutting the flesh at the tip of his heart.
But when those treasures were taken away by her grandmother, didn't he only dare to be angry but not speak?
In order to cover people's eyes and ears, he specially found a carriage from the imperial city to transport them to Yancheng. In the end, haven't they all entered Prince Xiao's palace?
