Chapter 150 Separation
"I don't!"

Ji Huiwen was anxious. She knew exactly what Zhao Yanlin was thinking, but she had never said anything in front of outsiders.

But in this matter, it was obvious that Zhao Yanlin was in a hurry to throw dirty water on her.

Uncle Ji knew that his little daughter was not very smart, but he didn't know she was so stupid!
Now, His Majesty still has some sympathy for the Ji family. This is the critical time for his promotion. If something goes wrong, not to mention promotion, even his official hat will be in jeopardy!
Thinking of this, Uncle Ji slapped Ji Huiwen on the face.

Ji Huiwen was caught off guard and slapped, falling to the ground.

She looked at her father, who was not close to her, in disbelief, and tears as big as beans rolled down her eyes.

"I didn't, why don't you believe me?"

Zhao Yanlin slowly stopped crying. She raised her head and saw Ji Huiwen's aggrieved look, and a moment of pity flashed through her heart.

But afterwards she felt that the best outcome of this matter was that Ji Huiwen would bear it on her own.

Ji Huiwen is the eldest daughter of the first wife. She is only a cousin. Her aunt is only a second wife and has no sons or daughters. It is even more unreasonable for her to be a cousin.

The Ji family will not do anything to Ji Huiwen, but she will be driven out and may even be banned from entering Beijing forever.

Girls are promised to be married when they are sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is already eighteen now. It is winter now, so she will be nineteen next year.

She has lived in the Ji family for so long, but it was all in vain.

She doesn't want to go back, she wants to stay in Yanjing, she wants to stay in the Ji Mansion.

Grandpa Ji felt sorry for his daughter when he saw her aggrieved look on her face. This little daughter looked most like her mother, but she did not inherit any of her mother's intelligence.

He sighed and turned to look at Rong Peilan on the steps, "Niece-in-law, Huiwen is still young and she really doesn't understand things. Fortunately, this matter was discovered early and has not been spread out yet."

"Now that the fight has already happened, can we make a small matter out of respect for our uncle?"

"Drag these two gossipy girls out and beat them to death."

The two maids were so frightened that their tears streamed down their cheeks and their foreheads were almost bleeding from knocking against the ground.

"Please spare this servant!"

"I will never dare to do that again!"

"Master, please spare this servant of mine!"

Rong Peilan could see it clearly from the steps.

She has been married for a year and a half, and everyone in the mansion knows everything about her. Ji Huiwen is not very smart, but she will not make big mistakes.

On the contrary, the cousin who often hangs out with her looks weak, but she is actually very opinionated. Many of Ji Huiwen's past affairs were probably instigated by her.

Rong Peilan looked at the two maids and said coldly.

"You two just listened to the girls' chat and started gossiping about them?"

Zi Yan raised her head crying, "Madam, I didn't spread gossip about the young lady. It was the young lady from that day..."

Zhao Yanlin sobbed softly and interrupted Zi Yan in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "Sister-in-law, I often talk to Sister Huiwen about little girls, and sometimes the words that don't go through my mind may not be appropriate."

"If you don't pass it on to sister Huiwen, you can't pass it on to me either."

"I am often with my sister. Don't you know that if my reputation is damaged, won't my sister's reputation be damaged too?"

Grandpa Ji looked fiercely at his daughter who was still sitting on the ground with tears in her eyes. "You are so stupid! If you bring trouble to our family, you will go to the family temple and chant sutras!"

Rong Peilan watched Zhao Yanlin wipe her tears and said, "Uncle, don't be impatient. Let this girl finish her words first."

Zi Yan quietly raised her eyes and glanced at the master. The wife of the Prince's Mansion was the mistress. If the lady wanted to give her a way out, the master could not beat her to death.

"Madam, Zizhu and I overheard the conversation between the young lady and her cousin that day. We knew it was inappropriate and left."

"After we left, Xinghua and Xingyu, who were beside my cousin, were sitting in the corridor talking..." Zhao Yanlin's eyes flashed with panic, "You two can't just bite and claw to save your lives!"

The timid Zizhu also raised her head and said, "Cousin, we have told the truth from beginning to end. The master will make the final decision on whether we should die or not!"

Zi Yan continued, "Xing Hua and Xing Yu said that the cousin always cared about the prince's health, and even a heart of stone would be melted by her."

"They said that they followed the right master. When Miss Cousin becomes the proper master of this mansion in the future, she will definitely not forget them."

"I was greatly shocked and pulled Zizhu to the other side."

As soon as Zi Yan finished her words, Xing Hua and Xing Yu knelt down with pale faces.

"The next day when we went to the flower house, we saw Xingyu at the second gate. She was holding a large box of Ruyifang and heading towards the main house."

"Our young lady also likes the jewelry from Ruyifang and often goes to see it. I know it must be very valuable. When I arrived at the flower room, I told Zizhu about it. Zizhu scolded me for not passing on the message, and I was so scared that I shut up.

She kowtowed again and said, "Madam, I spoke in a very low voice, I really don't know if anyone heard me."

At this point it is clear that the conversation was overheard and then spread by another eavesdropper.

Even if Zi Yan and Zi Zhu did not pass on the message, they are still not acceptable maids if they make up stories about their master behind his back.

Zhao Yanlin is a cousin who lives in Beijing with a friend. She is restless and has many thoughts, and even the maids around her are not upright.

Rong Peilan raised her head slightly and said, "This prince of our mansion is the glory of my father-in-law. I will not allow anyone to cause trouble at this time."

She pointed to the white flower on her head and said, "What is this? This is filial piety. You may not understand the laws of Daqi, but you should all know the principles and moral principles."

"The mouth is the source of trouble. If I don't deal with this matter today strictly, it will spread out tomorrow and reach your majesty's ears the day after tomorrow."

She looked at the people below, each with a different expression.

"Zi Yan and Zi Zhu are talkative. Send them back to the manor."

"Apricot blossoms and apricot rain, lots of trouble, sell out."

"The two in the kitchen, and Mother Zheng, are selling."

The four maids all collapsed on the ground. What difference was there between them and being sold off to the farm?

They are all personal maids of the girls in the mansion, and their job is to serve them personally.

The farm was full of servants, who did heavy work.

Rong Peilan looked at Zhao Yanlin, who was already panicking.

"Miss Zhao is my aunt's guest. Please be more careful with her."

Uncle Ji and Zhao's faces turned pale.

These words were undoubtedly like a whip slapping the two men in the face.

A verbal dispute among the servants in the backyard actually came from his own family, and from such a cheap niece.

Uncle Ji glared at Zhao, then threw up his sleeves and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Mother Zhou supported Mrs. Zhong and walked over from behind the crowd.

Zhong looked at the people in the yard and said, "Big brother, Third brother, let's handle the division of the family today."

"what?"

"Separate?"
