Chapter III

Before he even walked halfway, Ji Zhen saw the servant girl, Yu Chan, beside the Old Madame. As Ji Zhen had expected, the first thing Yu Chan said when he came up was, "Old Madame knows that Miss's health is not good, and he appreciates Miss's kindness. Old Madame doesn't need to pay respects today."

of the second house looked at the old Madame who was seated upright and smiled at him: "Father, you see, in the end Ji Zhen is still diligent. He came over early in the morning to pay respects to the Grandmother."

The old lady sat upright, her expression did not change, and turned to look at the maidservants at the side, "Didn't you say that the Great Miss is not feeling well, and will not come to pay respects today?"

Senior Marquis raised his hand and stopped her from speaking. "Call the Great Miss in first."

"My granddaughter greets Grandfather. I hope that Grandmother will live a long life." Ji Zhen steadily stepped into the room, walked up to the marquis and bowed to him with utmost sincerity.

Senior Marquis had always been extremely fond of her eldest granddaughter.

"The ground is cold, so your body should be better. Don't get the cold." He reached out and helped Ji Zhen up.

In contrast to the bone-piercing atmosphere outside, a stove had already been lit inside the house. Ji Zhen sat at the bottom of the Senior Marquis, with all the concubines and maids standing behind him. Only the eldest wife of each room was allowed to sit.

Senior Marquis sat on the right side of the table, playing with a bunch of Jade Seals in her hands. The old lady sat at the side, holding a cup of tea in her hands. Ji Zhen knew that he had been deceived by her appearance in his previous life.

Opposite Ji Zhen sat Zhou's who had just spoken. Second Uncle was Father's younger brother, so the relationship between the two rooms was extremely good. In his previous life, if it wasn't for Liushi instigating him, Father wouldn't have left Second Uncle.

"Second Aunt." Ji Zhen blessed himself and meekly called out to her. The father of the Zhou's was the censor and was deeply involved with the emperor.

Not even two years after Ji Zhen entered the palace, the Senior Marquis suddenly fell ill and died. Ji Zhen's father, who had inherited the title of nobility, never would have thought that there would be rumors of the eldest son of the Ji Family becoming a noble and poisoning his father. If it were not for Censor Zhou's help, the title would have fallen into the hands of the three rooms long ago.

When Lin's disease married into the Ji Mansion, he personally added dowry to his dowry in order to repay Marquis Lin Wu for saving his master. After Lin's disease passed away early, the old lady used Ji Zhen's youth as an excuse and took away the account book for safekeeping.

"I heard from the maid that your body isn't too well recently. It's freezing outside, so you should wear more." "Come, this was originally meant to be delivered to your room. Now that you've come, you should wear it first and bring it back when the time comes." With that, the Zhou's raised his hand to have the fox fur coat given to him by the servant girl behind him.

Silver Fox fur was the most difficult to come by. It could protect one's body from the cold and also protect one's heart from the warmth. With a single glance, one could tell that it was an extremely good item.

After Ji Zhen sat down, he looked up at Senior Marquis, and his eyes were actually filled with tears.

Originally, he looked at his obedient granddaughter, Senior Marquis was extremely happy, but suddenly seeing Ji Zhen's eyes filled with tears, he asked: "What happened to Zhen Er? Are you feeling wronged? Quickly tell Grandfather. "

Ji Zhen shook her head and used the handkerchief in her hands to wipe her tears. Seeing her like this, the old lady secretly felt that something was wrong.

"Cui Er, tell me, what happened to the Miss?" Senior Marquis pointed at Cui Er behind Ji Zhen.

"Grandfather, don't ask anymore. It's nothing important, Zhen Er just missed her mother a little." Ji Zhen's face was filled with grief, his pale white face appeared even more lifeless.

"Speak!" Senior Marquis was also born a martial general, her body was filled with an extremely heavy killing intent, she stared at Cui Er, scaring Cui Er, causing him to quickly kneel on the ground.

"marquis, this morning, Aunt Liu ran over to Sunflower House, and said that she had a secret relationship with someone, so she was afraid that someone might find out. She also said, that …"

"What else are you saying!" Seeing Cui Er hesitating, Senior Marquis suddenly became angry.

"She even said that the Miss was a bastard." After saying that, Cui Er began to cry.

He knew that Ji Zhen had fallen into the water, it was just that the person beside his pillow had said that he would take care of it properly, he didn't expect that it would actually be done in such a way.

"Where's the Liushi?! Go and get her for me! " Senior Marquis angrily threw a teacup on the ground.

When Liushi entered the room, she saw the Fire Fox fur on her body and the anger in her heart grew even stronger. "Who allowed you to wear this vermillion color?!"

The vermilion can only be worn by the owner's mother, and wearing the vermilion in my room is a breach of etiquette.

Liushi was so scared that he did not dare say anything, and anxiously looked up at the old lady.

The old lady's surname was Liu. She and Liushi were cousins, normally, Liushi would call her aunt. This was something that Ji Zhen would only learn about in the future, because the person who stood out to accuse Ji Zhong of harming his biological father was this Liushi.

Looking at the room full of people, Ji Zhen had a feeling that it had been a lifetime. She still remembered yesterday when her heart was burning in pain, but today, she was already sitting and watching the lively and sipping tea.
