Chapter 417 Coming up with ideas
Seeing them frowning in deep thought, Ji Yuntang knew that what she said had taken effect. She continued to persuade them:
"But then again, you are Ji Qingqing's biological parents, and you hold the most fatal handle on her. Even if it is Meng, she has no reason to prevent you from seeing Ji Qingqing."
"If I were you, I would use this as a threat. If the Marquis' Mansion doesn't let me see my daughter, I will make her secret public and report it to the Emperor. At worst, we will both die together, and no one will get any benefit."
"In order to protect her daughter's position as Crown Princess, Meng will definitely let you stay."
"Of course, this is the last resort. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I do not recommend you do this."
After hearing Ji Yuntang's words, Chen Huaxiu looked a little dazed.
Yes, they just tolerated Ji Qingqing blindly, fearing that she would be unhappy, so they had to settle for the second best and live in the Night King's Mansion.
But what should they do if Ji Qingqing doesn't recognize them in the end?
They were just commoners, and it would be easy for the people in the Marquis' Mansion to kill them.
Chen Huaxiu thought that she was not a broad-minded person. She came to the capital to find Ji Qingqing just to enjoy wealth and glory.
Now, it seems like they are being led by Ji Qingqing!
Chen Huaxiu raised his head and looked at Ji Yuntang with burning eyes, "Can you help us?"
Ji Yuntang had already expected her to ask this question, so she raised her hand slightly and called Chen Hu over.
"This is easy. I will arrange for a palace guard to personally escort you to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion until you meet Meng or Ji Qingqing."
"This way, they will think that you are protected by our Night Palace, and naturally they won't dare to embarrass you."
Chen Huaxiu did not completely believe Ji Yuntang's words, but she also did not completely disbelieve them. She always maintained a skeptical attitude.
In the end, Chen Hu sent their family to the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
When he asked someone to inform, he used the name of the Night Palace.
When the servant delivered the message, Mrs. Meng was drinking tea in the room.
Hearing this, her hands trembled in shock.
"Why did the people from the Night Palace come to us? Could it be that bitch Ji Yuntang has already known the true identity of the Wu family and sent people to threaten this lady?"
She thought about it and decided to ask someone to invite Chen Hu in.
Chen Hu came in alone. He cupped his hands and said, "Madam Meng, when Mr. Wu and Madam Chen lived in the Night Palace, they always missed Miss Ji and wanted to come back to see her."
"Our princess really had no other choice, so she sent her subordinates to bring them here."
"The princess asked me to bring a message to Madam, hoping that the Marquisate can treat the Wu family well on behalf of the princess. Our princess will also visit them from time to time."
Meng: "..."
Meng: "!!!"
Warning, stark warning!
As expected, that bitch Ji Yuntang already knew about it. She even asked a guard to come and warn the Marquis' Mansion not to attack the Wu family.
Meng clenched her fists, her face distorted with anger.
"Go back and tell Ji Yuntang that the Wu family has done a favor to the Marquis' Mansion, and this lady will naturally treat the Wu family well."
"With your words, Madam, I can go back and report with peace of mind!"
After Chen Hu finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.
Wu Jinxi and three others were brought in. When they saw Meng, they looked a little nervous.
Meng glanced at them and asked, "Did you ask Ji Yuntang to send you back?"
Wu Jinxi said with a sad face: "That's right, the Night King's Mansion is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. We really can't live there!"
"Please, Madam, don't chase us away. As long as you let us stay, we will do anything."
Meng narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively: "Besides Ji Yuntang, have you ever told anyone else anything, such as Qingqing's life experience?"
Wu Jinxi immediately raised his hand and swore: "No, absolutely not. We didn't even tell Ji Yuntang about this."
Mrs. Meng stood up, her eyes slightly cold, "I can keep you here, but if you go out and say something nonsense, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
It was better to keep them under her nose. When she found the opportunity in the future, she would kill these people. She would never let them ruin Ji Qingqing's good deeds.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng asked, "Your identities are too conspicuous, so from now on, you will be treated as servants in the mansion. Now, tell me, what can each of you do?"
Wu Jinxi didn't want to be a laborer anymore, so he immediately said, "I can drive a horse carriage, so I can be the driver."
Chen Huaxiu said: "I can embroider. I learned it from my mother when I was a child. I can sew clothes for you."
She was jealous of Meng in her heart, but now she had to bow her head.
Wu Shijie knew nothing. He stood there hesitating for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Chen Huaxiu suggested: "Madam Meng, why don't you let my eldest son be a doorman? He will definitely be able to do this well."
"Well, let's arrange it this way!"
Meng compromised, thinking that less trouble was better than more, so she agreed to their request for the time being.
Her eyes moved and fell on Wu Chaoyang, "This child..."
Chen Huaxiu immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Madam Meng, I have two more requests. My son Yang is already seven years old, but he has never been to school."
"Please, Madam, find him a teacher to teach him how to read and write. This will also relieve me of my worries."
Meng thought it was not a big deal, there was a ready-made teacher in the Marquis' Mansion, so she agreed immediately.
"I promise you, if you have any other requests, please tell me."
Chen Huaxiu added: "Madam, please help my brother Yang find a doctor. He has tried medicine on Ji Yuntang in the Night Palace. I am afraid that Ji Yuntang will harm him."
"I understand, you guys go down first!"
Meng asked the servants to take the four people downstairs and familiarize them with the work they were supposed to do.
Wu Jinxi didn't expect that Mrs. Meng would be so easy to talk to today.
Sure enough, Ji Yuntang's words were effective.
He looked around but didn't see Ji Qingqing, so he asked the servant who was leading the way.
"Where's your second young lady?"
The servant said, "The second young lady was picked up by someone sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this morning. He said she was going to the eastern suburbs to enjoy the lake view. She will probably be back soon!"
At this time, a guard came over and said, "Wang Er, Madam wants you to drive a carriage to the eastern suburbs to pick up the second young lady."
The man called Wang Er was the one who led Wu Jinxi, and he agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll go pick up the second young lady right away."
When Wu Jinxi heard that he was going to pick up Ji Qingqing, his eyes lit up.
He came forward and said, "I'll go with you, and I can also get familiar with the routes in the capital."
