After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 62 Hard to guard against
"Selling yourself again?"

"Shaowu has run out of new tricks? Why is it still using this trick?" Ji Yunzhang clicked his tongue.

Rong Peilan shook his head, "Not necessarily Shaowu."

"From the perspective of outsiders, the Marquis' Mansion is in a precarious situation right now. How many people want to get a piece of the pie?"

"My father-in-law has been on the march for decades, and he has been commanding the three armies since my grandfather. He has a very high prestige in the army. Now that Your Majesty wants to cause trouble for the Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid most of them are here to cause trouble."

"The Xinling Marquis' Mansion is a hot commodity right now, and you are almost like fat meat in their eyes."

Ji·Fat·Crown Prince, "..."

As she spoke, she glanced at him coldly again, "My dear, you need to be careful recently, as you will have many romantic encounters."

Ji·Peach Blossom·Prince, "..."

He couldn't help but put his hand on Rong Peilan's still flat belly.

He felt the warmth under his palm and couldn't help but wonder, "I wonder what this little kid will look like in the future."

Rong Peilan pursed her lips and smiled, "Probably looks like a child."

Ji Yunzhang glanced at her and said, "Madam, you have become a bad person recently. Why do you have to learn my nonsense words when you can learn other things?"

She curved her eyebrows and said, "Then he should be like his father, climbing up the roof, picking fruits from trees, chasing chickens and dogs."

Ji Yunzhang hesitated for a moment, "...Madam, let's give birth to a daughter."

As soon as he finished speaking, a head popped out from the door.

They are Ji Huiwen from the eldest wife of the Ji family and her cheap cousin Zhao Yanlin.

"Brother Yunzhang." Ji Huiwen forced a flattering smile.

Rong Peilan looked at Ji Yunzhang with her eyebrows slightly raised.

Ji Yunzhang, "..."

He didn't even bother to reply, "It's inconvenient today, go back."

Ji Huiwen had just stepped one foot into the threshold when she froze in place with an awkward look on her face, not knowing whether to go forward or backward.

Seeing this, Zhao Yanlin quickly bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Third Brother Ji, and Third Sister-in-law."

She glanced at Ji Huiwen, her voice slightly aggrieved, "We didn't mean to disturb you, we just came here to look for Third Brother Ji because we were really helpless."

"Come in first." Rong Peilan lowered her eyes and spoke. It was really hard to guard against. Even the first wife had been mobilized.

Ji Huiwen walked in carefully, "Brother Yunzhang, I have an appointment with the second daughter of the Pingchang Earl family to play Cuju tomorrow. She has the help of Mr. Liu San, but I haven't found him yet."

Ji Yunzhang frowned and said, "No."

Ji Huiwen didn't expect to be rejected so straightforwardly. She bit her lip and forced a smile, "Brother Yunzhang, we will play two out of three tomorrow. There will be no delay."

Ji Yunzhang repeated two words again, "No."

Zhao Yanlin got anxious when she heard this. "If Huiwen doesn't go, it will be considered as automatic defeat. The loser will have to stand at the city gate with a sign for three days."

He sneered, "You didn't think about the consequences when you were bragging to others, and now you're getting anxious."

Ji Huiwen lowered her voice, "Aren't you here, Brother Yunzhang?"

Ji Yunzhang tilted his head slightly, "What did I do to make you think I was kind-hearted? I will correct it immediately."

Ji Huiwen bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She thought that she could get Ji Yunzhang to agree by acting coquettishly, but she didn't expect him to refuse so decisively.

Zhao Yanlin also looked embarrassed. She wanted to say something else, "Third Brother Ji, Huiwen..."

Mrs. Zhong appeared at the door with the bird's nest and interrupted everyone's conversation, "Why are you going? No one is allowed to go."

Ji Huiwen and Zhao Yanlin were startled by the sudden voice. They turned around and saw that it was their second aunt. They immediately lowered their heads.

Zhao Yanlin lowered her voice and whispered, "Hello, Second Aunt." Mrs. Zhong glanced at the two girls and said unhappily, "Don't you know clearly what's going on in the mansion now? They've dug a trap for you to jump into, and you want to drag your third brother with you?"

Ji Huiwen immediately waved her hands, "No, no, I was here early in the morning..."

Mrs. Zhong interrupted her and refused to listen to her explanation. "You agreed to it yourself, so go find the person yourself."

At the end, he glanced at her and said, "You took the bait with just a few words. Don't bring harm to your family."

Ji Huiwen's face turned pale, her eyes were red, and tears were about to fall, "I, I'm not..."

She bit her lower lip, feeling completely humiliated by the ridicule.

Rong Peilan kindly said, "This is just a trap set by the Liu family, waiting for your husband to fall into it."

Zhong looked at Ji Huiwen who was still standing there and said unhappily, "It's just a child's play bet, but it's like a torture. Go back and ask your mother to write a letter saying that you have typhoid fever and won't go."

Ji Huiwen lowered her head, her voice slightly hoarse, "Yes..."

After both of them left.

Zhong watched Zhao Yanlin walk further and further away from comforting Ji Huiwen, shook her head, and sighed helplessly, "This girl has been spoiled by Zhao. She has a bad temper and doesn't know what to do."

Zhong shook her head, put the irrelevant people behind her, pushed Ji Yunzhang aside, and sat down next to Rong Peilan.

"Lan'er, have you had a good appetite these past two days?"

Ji Shizi interjected, "Don't be too nice, it's almost catching up with my appetite."

Mrs. Zhong glanced at him and said, "You know you eat a lot, but you just eat and do nothing. How dare you say that?!"

Prince Ji: "…" I can't stay in this house for even one more day.

Rong Peilan looked at the mother-son fight with amusement, "Mom, I'm fine."

"You don't have to deliver bird's nests every day. Qingtan's cooking skills are good, and my daughter-in-law can eat it in the small kitchen."

The Zhong family has had a lot more free time since the closure of their shops. Now the grain shop business has shifted to grain trading, which is not as fragmented as before, and most of the work can be done by manager Zhou.

Now she only thinks about how to take good care of her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Zhong slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, by the way, the wet nurse must be prepared in advance. This is very important!"

"Some time ago, Jin's daughter-in-law Liu gave birth to a fat boy. The baby eats a lot, and one wet nurse is not enough. Fortunately, Liu is willing to breastfeed herself, otherwise where can we find a reliable wet nurse at this last minute?"

Rong Peilan looked slightly embarrassed, "I'm afraid this is too early..."

Ji Yunzhang helped Zhong up and pushed her out while agreeing, "Mom, this matter is indeed very important, you go and take care of it."

Seeing that everyone had left, he couldn't wait to run towards the young lady.

"Ji Yunzhang, it's not even three months yet, don't do anything rash." The cold voice of Mrs. Zhong at the door startled him so much that he almost fell over.

Shizi Ji gritted his teeth and turned back, "Mother, your son is not a beast—"

Without even turning his head, Zhong said, "Who knows—"

Prince Ji: “…” No, he wants to run away from home.

Rong Peilan held her stomach and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"My dear, I think your mother picked you up from under the bridge."

She laughed so hard that tears came out.

She must have used up all her good luck in ten lifetimes. As a child, she was protected by her parents, and after she got married, she met a husband and mother-in-law who were willing to love and care for her.

All the other unpleasantness and sadness will be insignificant in the future.
