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

Chapter 76 There is something wrong with the brain

"Qiu Rui, have Peng Da take 20 people and return to the border quickly. Have Peng Da tell An Jiang to pay attention to Liu Qirui's movements."

"If the Northwest Army is destroyed in the hands of that brat, I will only hold him responsible."

"Yes." Qiu Rui, wearing a nightgown, quickly passed the high wall and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

Seeing Qiu Rui leaving, Ji Yunzhang took two steps forward.

"Father, Master Tang sent Gou'er to report today that among the vehicles that left the city in the past few days, there were five carriages from the Qing Palace, and they were all large carriages."

"The soldiers guarding the city said that General Shao had always let them go in the past and had not conducted a thorough inspection."

He paused and said, "Is the person behind this Prince Qing? The evidence we collected before is actually correct."

"Five years ago, my uncle's family was wrongly convicted because Prince Qing failed to bribe them and framed them."

Ji Zhenming slowly sat down at the desk, "Your uncle's case implicated a wide range of people, including the Zhong family, and killed more than 500 people."

"Your Majesty has made the final decision on this case, and the people of the court are keeping their mouths shut."

"The current Minister of Industry was once an assistant minister under your uncle. He is a poor man and still lives in a small house with only one entrance."

"Whether it is Prince Qing or not, we need to look elsewhere."

Ji Zhenming's eyes shone brightly under the dim candlelight, "Don't forget, Prince Qing still has a concubine's son in Tongzhou."

As he said this, he glanced at his son and said, "Your Majesty and Prince Qing are brothers. If you don't want to kill them in one blow, don't alert them."

Ji Yunzhang closed his slightly open mouth and exhaled deeply.

It was the middle of winter in Yanjing, and the first heavy snow fell so heavily that many houses and sheds in the northern suburbs of the city were collapsed.

The crying and shouting in the north city all night was like the howling of ghosts in the middle of the night.

Others were so frightened that they dared not go out.

It was not until Tang Xiao arrived with the city defense troops that further casualties were avoided.

Rong Peilan was wearing a thick coat with a hood on the gold-woven cloak that wrapped her whole body. The circle of fur on the brim made her look even more delicate.

Looking at her like this, she doesn't look like a pregnant woman at all, but rather a pretty girl who has not yet gotten married.

It snowed heavily today, and the Ji family distributed clothes and rice.

It’s still in the old location, something the Ji family does every year, and this year is no exception.

There was already a long line outside the porridge stall.

Rong Peilan traveled all the way here in a carriage and saw it with his own eyes, only to find that the situation in North City was very bad.

In order to help, she brought five maids from Yuhui Garden with her.

Xiang Wu couldn't help but pout, "Madam, you have been doing this for so many years, but you have never received a single word from His Majesty. Why are you doing this thankless task now?"

Haitang glanced outside the car and gave Xiangwu a warning glance, "Be careful with your words."

Xiang Wu suddenly shrank her neck and closed her mouth.

Bai Yu glanced at the fragrant mist, then lowered his eyelids silently.

The Ji family built a large shed, and they also built several fires outside for them to keep warm.

There is only one grain shop left in Beicheng, and the previous waiters and managers have all gone to the new granary.

Almost everyone came to Beicheng to help today.

Rong Peilan took Chen Chun's hand and slowly got out of the car.

The snow on the road had been cleared, and many soldiers were repairing roofs and rushing to build new shelters. Steward Zhou had sharp eyes and saw the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion at a glance.

"Madam, it's so cold today, why did you come out?"

A few days ago, my lady gave out a reward, and the mansion is going to have a little grandson.

Now the young lady appeared here, and Manager Zhou broke out in a cold sweat in this heavy snow.

"There are too many people here, so go back. We have prepared enough food and clothes. Auspicious stars will come early in the morning, so don't worry."

Rong Peilan looked at the orderly scene and nodded.

"I won't cause any trouble for you. I've brought a few girls with me to help you."

As she spoke, she pointed at the people behind her.

Manager Zhou slapped his thigh and pointed to a shelter built as part of the city defense not far away.

"Tang Dutong just came to borrow some people. There are old people, women and children in there, and there are even several pregnant women who are about to give birth. We are all old men, how can we help?"

"It's just that the young lady has arrived just in time. The girls don't have to stand in the wind and get cold. They can just go to the shelter and help."

Rong Peilan said, "Except for Chen Chun, all of you are smart people. Go ahead. Don't forget that you are coming out of the Marquis' Mansion. The people around me represent the face of the Marquis' Mansion."

"Yes." Haitang led several maids and walked directly towards the reception hall.

Seeing several maids entering the reception hall, Rong Peilan saw that Manager Zhou still looked nervous, so she waved her hand at him and said, "Okay, go and do your work. I'll be back home soon."

She just took a step forward, then thought of something and turned around to give instructions to Manager Zhou who was about to leave.

"My maids are all serving in my garden. You must take good care of them for me. When you are done, call a carriage to bring them back to me in good condition."

Upon seeing this, Manager Zhou immediately patted his forehead and made a promise.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, the girls have solved their urgent needs. Not to mention sending them back, when we are done, Lao Zhou will invite the girls to the restaurant for a good meal."

The Ji family is responsible for the relief work every year and has their own set of rules and procedures. There is no need for Manager Zhou to intervene and he can arrange everything in an orderly manner.

Rong Peilan was holding up her skirt and was about to get into the car when a long-lost voice came from behind her.

"Why did Sister Lan leave?"

Turning around, he saw a green-shed carriage stopped and Xie Shuning, dressed elegantly, got off the carriage.

Rong Peilan hadn't seen Xie Shuning for more than two months. The last time they saw each other, she generously gave the Kang family a maid worth a hundred taels.

Come to think of it, Xie Shuning must have suffered a lot of setbacks from her since she got married, so why does he still like to get close to her so much?

Thinking of this, Rong Peilan narrowed her eyes slightly.

Could it be that Xie Shuning has a masochistic fetish?

Xie Shuning adjusted the gilded tassel hairpin on her bun. It was a gift from the Imperial Concubine the day before yesterday. How could Ruyifang compare to the craftsmanship of the three workshops in the palace?

She looked at Rong Peilan's plain dress and thought how come she became more and more attractive. She was completely different from her previous appearance of a bean sprout.

But she didn't even have a silk flower on her head, and she couldn't help feeling a little proud.

In her previous life, she at least lived a wealthy life in the Marquis' Mansion for a few years.

In this life, I don’t know if it was because of her encouragement, but Kang Jintang entered the officialdom earlier, the Ji family reduced their military power and seized power faster, and even the Zhong family’s rice shop closed faster.

Thinking of this, she snorted softly, "It's really unlucky for the Xinling Marquis's Mansion to marry you. How come since you came into the family, this Marquis's Mansion has been unlucky one after another."

Rong Peilan frowned and said, "If there is something wrong with your cousin's brain, it is better for her to see a doctor as soon as possible, lest she suddenly rushes out into the street in a mad state one day, which would bring shame to the Xie and Kang families."
