The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 139 Inner secrets

When Meng Shisan handed over the self-recommendation letter to Meng Renping, after the eldest cousin read the contents of the letter, his face darkened, and she knew that Second Miss Ji was useless.

She originally dared to pursue the son she was attracted to, and she admired her very much. However, Miss Ji Er fell in love with her eldest cousin, but she was not really attracted to him.

Don't say that the eldest cousin has no intentions towards Miss Ji Er, even if he does, it is enough to make people feel chilling that Miss Ji will take the next step.

Ji Zhi was an average person, but Ji Ling surprised her.

Although she spoke bluntly, it was not an answer from the elder cousin's mouth. Miss Ji could understand it instantly and taught her not to waste words, which shows her intelligence.

How could such a girl, such a lady, fall headlong into the quagmire of the East Palace?
The two young ladies of the Ji Mansion wanted to marry into the East Palace, but their eldest cousin had never mentioned it to her. She knew that it was Meng Meili who told her, and the disdain in her words was even worse than the disdain for Dong Linglong.

Miss Ji Er is sixteen, which is fine, but Miss Ji is already eighteen. If this continues, her youth will be lost in these few years, and she will have to marry at a low age.

If marrying low can lead to a happy marriage, that is also good. I am afraid that even if you are willing to marry low, you will marry an inhumane and your life will be ruined.

Meng Shisan thought about this and said after careful consideration: "Miss Ji, you and I have never known each other before, and we have no close friendship. There are some words that should not be said by me, but Miss Ji can see through the relationship between Miss Ji Er and My eldest brother has no luck in this life, why can't he see through himself?"

Ji Ling's heart trembled.

"You need to know that falling flowers are intentional and flowing water is ruthless, so why not rein in the precipice and let the flowers shine brightly." Meng Shisan made a point, but whether he can realize it depends on Ji Ling herself.

Ji Ling smiled bitterly, and she understood what Meng Shisan meant. She stood up and said, "Miss Meng's words of gold and stone, I am grateful to her."

Ji Ling had the answers she wanted to ask for Ji Zhi before she came, and she also had the answers she wanted out of selfishness, there was no reason to stay any longer, so she left soon.

Meng Shisan summoned Shangchun and asked, "Do you know why Miss Ji tolerates Miss Ji so much? It can even be said to be... pampering?"

In an ordinary mansion, the direct descendants are clearly distinguished, and the direct descendants are even more distinct.

As the eldest daughter-in-law, Ji Ling was very protective of Ji Zhi, her concubine. From the few sentences they chatted, she could tell that Ji Ling was sincere towards Ji Zhi, and that love was not fake.

During the Spring Shangchun period, she served by Mrs. Meng's side and knew a lot about the inner house. Although she could not say that she was completely aware of Meng Shisan's question, she could roughly deduce the reason: "My slave guessed that it should be It has something to do with Miss Ji Er’s biological mother, but I don’t know the specific details.”

"Who is Miss Ji Er's biological mother? Why is it related to her? Could it be that she is very fond of Ji Si Qing?" Meng Shisan asked three times.

Shang Chun said: "Miss Ji Er's biological mother was Xiaolan. She died on the second day after Miss Ji Er was born. It seems that she suffered from postpartum hemorrhage and did not survive."

"Xiao Lan?" Meng Shisan remembered Ji Kuan's mother's surname was Lan, "What is her relationship with Mrs. Ji?"

"There are three young ladies in the Lan Mansion. Mrs. Ji is the head of the Lan family and the eldest lady of the Lan Mansion. Xiao Lan is the second in line. She is a concubine. She is Mrs. Ji's concubine sister." Speaking of the Lan family, Shangchun thought of another One thing, "Mrs. Ji has two concubine sisters. Miss Lan Er married into the Ji Mansion together and became concubines for her brother-in-law. Miss Lan San was brought into the Ji Mansion shortly after Miss Lan Er was hurriedly carried into the Ji Mansion in a sedan chair. , passed away."

"So, of the three young ladies in the Lan family, now only Mrs. Ji is left." Meng Shisan found it strange, "Do you know why the second young lady Lan became Ji Siqing's concubine? The third young lady Lan And why did he die young?"

Shangchun shook his head: "This slave doesn't know."

After letting Shangchun retire, Meng Shisan summoned the kite: "Go and check."

As soon as the kite left the Meng Mansion, she circled around a few times, and after confirming that no one was following her, she entered the Quexian Tower through the back door.

Cui Yu was in the small courtyard pavilion next to the back door. When the kite arrived, she happened to pass by Nie Bin. She cupped her fists and saluted: "Chief Nie."

Nie Bin responded with a salute, causing Kite to be stunned for a moment, and then he figured out the reason.

Nie Bin smiled and said: "You are Miss Meng's person, no longer Qiye's part, no longer Cui's slave, and no longer my subordinate. If you salute me, I should return the salute."

He looked towards the second floor of the small courtyard pavilion: "Master Qi is in the study on the second floor."

Kite nodded slightly.

Nie Bin stepped away, and she stepped into the small courtyard pavilion.

The first thing Cui Yu said when she saw the kite was: "What does Miss Meng want to do?"

The kite returned to the Meng Mansion before the appointment.

Meng Shisan had just finished eating pastries and was drinking hawthorn drink specially prepared with gold and silver to digest his food: "Can we have the evening meal?"

"I used it at Seventh Young Master's place," Kite replied.

Meng Shisan noticed that the kite was in front of her, and the title of Cui Yu had changed, from Seventh Master to Seventh Young Master. She was very satisfied with the difference from the inside to the outside: "Then let's talk about it."

She has always trusted Cui Yu's ability.

The reason for asking him for help is not without reason, and asking Kite to investigate is also because I want Kite to borrow his strength.

After all, Cui Yu has been entrenched in the capital for 20 years. He understands everything that matters at the feet of the emperor, whether it is political power or people's livelihood. It is not difficult to investigate an internal secret that happened more than ten years ago.

"No." Kite began to repeat the results he got from Cui Yu, "Back then, Ji Siqing and Mrs. Ji were childhood sweethearts, and the marriage between the two families was a matter of course, and there was no doubt about their love."

"Of course, there are unforeseen circumstances."

"Just after Ji Siqing and Mrs. Ji got married, they gave birth to their eldest son and daughter. Mrs. Ji's concubine sister, Xiao Lan, made an appointment. Mrs. Ji brought Mrs. Ji back to her natal home to celebrate. Unexpectedly, when night fell, Ji Si Qing went to the Lan Mansion in person, and when he wanted to take Mrs. Ji, mother and son back to the Ji Mansion, he was ushered into an empty courtyard in the backyard, and he and Xiao Lan were both plotted against and drugged."

"When they were discovered, the two were already husband and wife."

Meng Shisan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you know who did it?"

Kite replied: "More than ten years ago, at that time Ji Siqing was only the official of the sixth rank of the Beijing Government and had not yet become the chief official of the third rank of Taichang Temple. After Ji Siqing calmed down, he concluded that the person who had administered the medicine must be Still in the Lan Mansion, relying on his experience in investigating and judging cases as an assistant officer and his own extraordinary abilities, Ji Siqing quickly found out about the third lady of the Lan Mansion."

"Miss Lan San tried to quibble in every possible way at first, but there are all the witnesses and material evidence, and she cannot be allowed to quibble. It will be in vain to deny it even to death."

"Miss Lan San is really hateful!" Bao Zhu stood beside the candlelight and couldn't help but interjected and cursed.

Meng Shisan's right hand rested on the couch table, and his fingers stained with pink dandelion tapped the table every now and then: "Do you know the reason?"
