Chapter 19 Her life depends on your thoughts
Ji Qingwu's heart moved slightly.
After the eldest brother-in-law entered the door, he not only noticed the change in the eldest sister's mood at a glance, but also asked about it in public without any concealment.
Do you want to seek justice for her?
Thinking about it, the eldest sister’s status in the prince’s heart is not as low as Ji Qingrong thought.
Lu Juan saw Ji Qingwu's eyes darting back and forth between him and Qingrong, his moist eyes darting around, and then he showed an extremely satisfied look.
It seems that he has some recognition for him.
Hearing Lu Juan's question, Ms. Cui's heart tightened. She knew that he would not go home due to his duty in the palace today, so she came to Ninghua Hall to ask about the soup.
Now, I can only get over it in a hurry.
Ms. Cui smiled and waved her hands: "It's not a big deal at all. It's just a dispute in the inner house. It's not worthy of your attention."
How could there be such a small dispute over a few words?
Ji Qingrong lowered her eyes to cover up the resentment in her eyes.
It was clearly a mistake that had been made sincerely for several years, which left her childless and lonely for the rest of her life without anyone to rely on.
Lu Juan’s eyes suddenly darkened a little.
"Qingrong, tell me."
Ji Qingrong raised her eyes and looked into her husband's eyes. She thought of what Wu Mei had asked her earlier, whether her husband would handle the matter impartially
She bit her lip, hesitant in her heart. Is she going to give it a try for that tiny chance of winning?
After talking about it, if it ends up in a situation where everything is lost...
Ji Qingrong still held back.
She can't take this risk, she has already hurt her body, and she can't impulsively lose the relationship between husband and wife.
Lu Juan saw that she was hesitant and finally lowered her head as if frustrated, and he frowned again.
The glorious Mr. Lu never frowned so frequently when he was an official in the court because of the difficulties in the officialdom.
Seeing his expression, Ms. Cui thought she was dissatisfied with Ji Qingrong, so she persuaded with a smile in her eyes: "Ziyou, don't get angry with your wife, there is nothing wrong with her, even if she did something bad. I have already taught him a lesson."
Lu Juan's cousin is Ziyou, people close to him would call him that, but Ji Qingrong never called him.
“What was not done well?” Lu Juan asked coldly.
Mrs. Cui glanced at the maid next to her, and Zizhu knelt in front of the hall with a look.
Crying and lying on the ground, he said: "Hui Shizi, madam, madam, she said she wanted to sell me, but I didn't do anything."
The more Zizhu talked, the sadder she became. The crying became louder and louder, as if he was going to faint from crying.
Ji Qingrong frowned, her eyes burning as she watched Cui and Zizhu's confusing play.
But she still remained silent, and Lu Juan's expression turned completely cold.
At this time, another person started sobbing, his voice not as loud as Zizhu's, just sobbing quietly.
It’s time to compete in acting skills.
Everyone looked over and saw Ji Qingwu crying with pear blossoms in the rain, and the beauty weeping, looking pitiful.
Ji Qingrong quickly took out the handkerchief from her arms, wiped the tears of Fifth Sister, then turned around, and finally planned to say something.
Seeing this, Lu Juan raised an eyebrow. He looked at Ji Qingrong, expecting her to speak.
But these words were not meant for him.
Ji Qingrong faced Zizhu's figure and said angrily: "Why are you crying so loudly! You scared my fifth sister again!"
This roar made Zizhu cry suddenly. Then, she was crying with snot and tears, and a few white lines washed down her face.
Zizhu looked back at Ji Qingwu with her mouth open and her eyelids red and swollen. Why was she crying too? !
Ji Qingwu's eyes were filled with tears, and the tears fell from the middle of her eyes, so she could see Zizhu's appearance clearly. Then, she bit her lips tightly, and the corners of her mouth He lowered his head twitchingly. It almost made her unable to continue acting.
There is no other reason. Zizhu in green clothes really looks like the sad frog she saw in her previous life.
Ji Qingrong didn't know the inside story, so he comforted her: "Fifth sister, it's the useless eldest sister who has made you feel wronged. Stop crying."
As long as Ji Qingrong is willing to speak, no matter what she says What? Lu Juan's expression softened a lot.
He asked: "Zizhu, Madam, what do you mean? When I came in just now, I saw Fifth Sister crying. Is it because of you?"
Lu Juan asked, this matter was not easy to mess with.
Ms. Cui hurriedly explained to Zizhu: "The girls are young and energetic. They just had a few words. You can just be busy with court affairs. You don't need to worry about the trivial matters at home."
" Quarreling? "
Lu Juan seemed to have heard something ridiculous and said in a deep voice: "Mother, tell me, when did your maid quarrel with my wife's sister in this house? The servants can stand on top of their masters and act wild."
Mrs. Cui rubbed her forehead and sighed: "Zizhu has been with me since she was a teenager, and I regard her as half of my family. You are busy with official duties all day long, and only this girl can accompany me to relieve my boredom. Last year, I was infected with the epidemic. If Zizhu was not there to watch over me, I would have lost my life talking to you here. "
Zizhu does have an unusual relationship with Cui, and Cui wants to play the emotional card to make Lu Juan think about Zizhu's benefits.
But some people just don’t buy it.
"You are confused."
As soon as these five words came out.
Everyone in Ning Hua Hall was stunned.
Ms. Cui looked at Lu Juan in shock, his words echoing in her head.
Ji Qingrong’s eyes widened as wide as possible. What did your husband just say?
Ji Qingwu stopped crying and looked at his eldest brother-in-law with a clear face.
Lu Juan said mockingly: "Mother, you are confused. She contracted the epidemic last year. It was Qing Rongyi who lived in the side room of the main courtyard without any care. She made all the soups and medicines with her own hands. She became smart in vain. Look, but he is clumsy Sincerely, I don’t know how many times I was burned by that pottery pot, and there are still traces on my wrist.”
Seeing several people’s eyes falling on her wrist, Ji Qingrong, who didn’t want to admit that she was clumsy, hurriedly cut it. The sleeves were pulled up to cover them.
Lu Juan continued: "Moreover, how come a maid has become half of your family? Your son and daughter-in-law are all sitting here. If you have an objection to me, you don't have to beat around the bush like this."
Mrs. Cui couldn't sit still anymore. She was on pins and needles and said: "Why should I have a problem with you? I just-"
Lu Juan said to her: "You just forgot that Qingrong is the prince's wife and the master of this family!"
Cui was speechless and closed her mouth in embarrassment.
Ji Qingwu applauded his eldest brother-in-law in his heart. If the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is to be harmonious, the son must be able to stand up.
Ji Qingrong received unexpected protection, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.
Normally, she would be patient with her mother-in-law, but today she learned the truth about her years of infertility, and Zizhu was rude to her fifth sister, so she dared to argue with Ms. Cui.
I heard Lu Juan say without emotion: "Just sell Zizhu."
Zizhu didn't even dare to cry.
Because she knew that what the prince had decided would never be changed again.
She didn't dare to ask Mrs. Cui. She was Cui's confidant and knew that although Cui had a noble status and was not afraid of the old lady or the marquis, she was most afraid of the prince.
Cui covered her mouth and coughed.
Zizhu thought of something and jumped directly at Ji Qingwu's feet.
