Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 441 Encounter at the corner of the city, a dilemma (1)
Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Ji Chonglian couldn't calm down no matter what, her arms were tightly wrapped around her chest, but she still felt a cold rush up from the soles of her feet, and her whole body was icy cold.

Although the eldest uncle didn't tell her the truth, she could only think of one possibility, that is, Ji Mingde was involved in rebelling against the king, otherwise how could he harm the whole family?
The uncle said that it doesn't matter if he suffers alone, and asked her to keep the foundation of the Ji family, and not let the Ji family fall into his hands like this.

But what can she do?

If the emperor is furious, he must be investigated. Will the Ji family get away with it?

She is a married daughter, if something happens to the Ji family, she cannot be involved, but what about Ji Chongyu, Mrs. Ji, and the Hu family... They are all members of the Ji family. If something happens, how can she Can you feel at ease?

Ji Chonglian had no choice but to go back and discuss this matter with Pei Yan, but she felt that Pei Yan didn't have that much face, and perhaps made the emperor suspicious of the Pei family for no reason, what should I do?

"Ma'am," Caiqiu looked at Ji Chonglian worriedly, got up and put a woolen cloak on her, "What happened to make you so out of your mind?"

Ji Chonglian shook her head, closed her eyes tightly, but her teeth could not stop chattering slightly, she clenched the lapel of her cloak tightly, and asked in a deep voice, "How long will it take to arrive at the General's Mansion?"

Caiqiu was startled, lifted the curtain and glanced out, "I'm afraid it will take another quarter of an hour."

Ji Chonglian nodded, took a deep breath, and ordered: "Let Guard Lin send someone to find your lord, just say that I'm not feeling well, and let him come back to see me immediately when he's free."

Although Caiqiu was a little surprised, she still followed Ji Chonglian's instructions.

When the car just turned into the corner of the west city, the horse neighed suddenly and knelt down on the ground in the street. When the car body tilted, there was a sudden jolt inside the car. Ji Chonglian was almost thrown out of the car by surprise, Cai Qiu thought reflexively I went to pull Ji Chonglian, but she held her sideways, "You are not stable yet, sit up soon!"

Only then did Caiqiu think of the child in her belly, and hurriedly sat upright.

"Ma'am, did you fall somewhere?"

Guard Lin's anxious voice sounded outside the car, Ji Chonglian couldn't help but frowned, "I'm fine, so careless?"

The coachman knelt on the ground, kowtowed profusely with sweat, and said, "Forgive me, ma'am, for some reason, a stone was thrown at this corner, and the horse's leg just kicked on the stone, and it might be broken!"

Because they were going back and forth within the city, the coachman only had a horse-drawn cart when he went out today. If the horse's leg was broken, the carriage would not be able to leave.

Ji Chonglian thought for a while, and then ordered: "Guard Lin sent someone back to the mansion to bring a horse, and asked a few people to lift the door panel, and brought the horse back to the veterinarian. Let's get out of the carriage first. , you guys move the car to the side with a lot of strength, so as not to block the way of others."

After Ji Chonglian finished speaking, she wanted to get out of the carriage, Caiqiu got out of the carriage first, then raised the curtain to help Ji Chonglian get out of the carriage.

Guard Lin naturally followed orders, and sent a guard back to the mansion to look for Manager Zhu, while he stayed here with the remaining two guards.

It was still in the first month of the lunar year, there was a light snow just two days ago, and the road surface was a bit slippery, Caiqiu supported Ji Chonglian to stand under the porch, and took a flower and bird enamel hand stove into Ji Chonglian's hand, and asked with concern: " Is Madam cold, if it's too cold, let's wait for the guards Lin to carry the car to the side before we go up, it's better to stay warmer in the car."

"inappropriate."

Ji Chonglian shook her head after thinking for a while, "If the horse is unloaded, the cart will be tilted. Is it possible that guard Lin and the others should keep lifting the corner of the cart and keep it still?"

Caiqiu's face flushed, "I didn't think of it, Madam is thoughtful... How about seeing which family this is, let's borrow a house to keep warm, and wait for the horse to be brought back before we go on our way?"

Ji Chonglian was stunned, just about to turn her head to see which family's house it was, but the closed door opened with a "creak", and a servant bowed courteously to open the way, and behind him was a man wearing a blue sky. The man in the brocade robe was about to step out when he saw Ji Chonglian's master and servant standing under the porch, he was slightly surprised, until he met Ji Chonglian's eyes, he was stunned.

Qin Zi looked at the woman in front of him, feeling a little unbelievable for a moment.

Ji Chonglian was wearing a bright red satin coat, which complemented her fair complexion, delicate eyebrows, and slim figure. Although the face that was once so clear in his memory has become blurred with the passage of time, when this person is Standing in front of him, he can still recognize it at a glance.

It's just that Ji Chonglian at this moment is no longer the slender and beautiful appearance when she was 14 years old. She is plump and tall, and there is a kind of elegant and luxurious beauty in every gesture.

If Ji Chonglian was just an elegant and beautiful lotus back then, then she is now a beautiful and blooming peony, with a national beauty and heavenly fragrance, a bright youth, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it!
Ji Chonglian obviously recognized the man in front of her, and the corners of her delicate brows could not help but frown slightly.

The man in his 20s was in his prime, with a handsome face and a refined temperament, but there was an inadvertent trace of hostility between the brows and the corners of his eyes, which greatly compromised his temperament.

After going through so much, Qin Zi is no longer the high-spirited Tan Hualang he was back then.

Ji Chonglian raised her eyes slightly, only then did she see clearly that there was a chicken wing wood plaque hanging high on the porch, which was painted with a layer of natural lacquer, and two large black characters were written on it in a thick and steady style: Qin Fu.

Ji Chonglian suddenly remembered that when Ji Ziwei came to visit her that time, she did say that they lived in the corner of the west city. She did not expect such a coincidence that her carriage broke down, and she happened to be standing under the porch of the Qin Mansion.

Ji Chonglian pulled the corner of her lips, nodded slightly, "Master Qin!"

"Mrs. Pei!"

Qin Zidu hesitated for a moment, and then bowed his head stiffly, but Hua Wei behind him had his eyes widened. He knew the most famous Mrs. Pei at that time, not only living in this west city , and she is also the sister of Aunt Ji in their family.

Qin Zi swept his eyes away and saw the fallen horse and the body half leaning on the side of the street. Only then did he know what happened. After hesitating for a while, he said, "It's cold outside. If Mrs. Pei doesn't mind it, don't you?" Sit in the house and rest for a while, wait for your mansion's carriage to be ready before leaving."

Ji Chonglian turned sideways slightly, but her eyes were fixed on the few pedestrians on the spacious street. Her jaw was raised slightly, and the afternoon sun shone on her face, as if a layer of golden light had been cast on her face. Qin Zi felt itchy in his heart, and his hand hidden in his sleeve slowly clenched into a fist.

The sourness, resentment, and resentment that were suppressed in his heart were suddenly intertwined, and Qin Zidu felt very uncomfortable at this moment.
