Chapter 90： , Mu Cheng’s hatred for the Ji family

Chapter 90, Mu Cheng’s hatred for the Ji family

After the news spread, everyone in the Ji family breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Ji Linfeng’s face turned into a smile. "Mom, you act so fast, and you don't even ask the child for his opinion."

“Then do you have any objection?” Mrs. Ji gave him an annoyed look.

“Of course not, I’m just kidding.” Ji Linfeng coquettishly hugged Mrs. Ji’s arm.

Jihua’s giggles spread throughout the Wutong Courtyard.

After getting Duanmuyi's Gengtie, the end of the marriage is to find someone who matches the horoscope and determine the wedding date. The day after tomorrow is the Queen's birthday party, so this matter can be postponed to a later date.

With such a big matter, Mrs. Ji thought it would be better to go back to Mu Mansion and inform Imperial Physician Mu about the matter in person.

Ji Houye nodded in agreement.

Since I had a rest on the second day, I personally accompanied Mrs. Ji to Mu Mansion.

When Mu Cheng learned that the Ji family had come to visit, his hand holding the cup tightened. A trace of evil flashed in his eyes.

What did you say when you encountered bandits, and why was your mother the only one who died?

Obviously, the father was lying deliberately in order to help the Ji family cover up the crime of murder. Mrs. Ji has always held a grudge because her father raised her mother as the first wife. So there was a quarrel on the road, and in order to protect Mrs. Ji, Lord Ji beat his mother to death.

Thinking of this, hatred rolled in Mu Cheng's eyes.

He called the attendant and whispered a few words, and the attendant nodded and left.

When Mu Cheng brought Mr. Gao to the front hall, Mrs. Ji was talking about the engagement between the second young master Ji and the Duanmu family.

"This is a good thing. That boy Linfeng is too out of character. It would be better to get a wife as soon as possible to restrain him." Imperial Physician Mu said with a smile.

"Yes, Dad, my daughter thinks the same way. It's just going to be a pain for the boss." Mrs. Ji hugged Ji Hua who was sleeping in her arms tighter to prevent her from getting cold.

Imperial Physician Mu understood Ji Yushu's concerns, which were simply that he felt that he had lost his legs and was afraid that he would miss the other person's years. Thinking of Ji Yushu's legs, Imperial Physician Mu looked sad.

He was able to save countless people in Jizhou, but he could not save his own grandchildren. Every time I think about this, I feel very sad.

Mucheng and Gao paid tribute to them respectively and then sat aside and listened.

Mu Cheng has always been a gloomy person, he doesn't like to communicate with others, and he doesn't have much opinion. Being able to hold a certain position in the Imperial Hospital is entirely due to the contribution of Imperial Physician Mu.

Ji Houye raised his eyes to look at Mu Cheng, and met his eyes unexpectedly. That look made people feel uncomfortable, but Lord Ji didn't pay much attention.

The Qin family is gone, and the Xu family is dead. What kind of tricks can he come up with?

What Imperial Physician Mu claimed was that she encountered bandits on the road, and Aunt Xu died at the hands of the bandits in order to protect him.

Even if Mu Cheng was suspicious, there was no way to investigate.

Thinking of this, Lord Ji picked up the teacup at hand and took two sips. The keen-eyed Mu Cheng noticed that the tea in Lord Ji's cup had reached the bottom, so he called for a servant to pour the tea.

When the servant picked up the teapot and found that there was not much tea, he said: "Wait a moment." Then he took the teapot and left.

Not long after, another full pot of tea was brought. He poured tea for several people in the room.

When he poured the cup for Mr. Ji, his fingertips touched the rim of the glass almost imperceptibly. When Mrs. Ji was served again, the injury was gone.

Ji Hua squirmed her little mouth twice, turned over and found a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

She woke up too early today and she hasn't slept enough.

It wasn't until Mrs. Ji got up to go back to Ji's Mansion that Ji Hua woke up. Seeing Mrs. Ji and her father walking out, Ji Hua smiled and waved to Imperial Physician Mu.

【Goodbye, grandpa, as long as nothing happens to the Ji family, you don't have to go to the Zhengde Hall to remonstrate with your death. 】

Imperial Physician Mu sent Mrs. Ji and others to the door. When he arrived, he remembered An Yan and asked Mrs. Ji: "Have you found Yan'er's child?" In his heart, he had already regarded the two as twin brothers, that is, his grandson. How could you not care?

Mrs. Ji didn't want her father to know about An Yan for the time being, so she said, "Dad, you can't control that child, so just pretend that he doesn't exist."

 Imperial Physician Mu also knew that An Yan was used to being wild, so how could he be able to withstand the constraints of the family. I had no choice but to nod. Mu Cheng and Gao, who was holding the child, just stood at a distance.

Ji Hua glanced at Mu Cheng inadvertently, as if she had met a pair of poisonous snake eyes, and couldn't help but shudder.

【Mu Cheng doesn't want to avenge his mother, does he? Aunt Xu would not have followed, but she did so after her mother repeatedly persuaded her. He ended up dead. Wouldn't this guy blame Aunt Xu's death on her mother? 】

In the carriage, both Marquis Ji and Mrs. Ji heard Ji Hua's thoughts. He thought to himself: "Probably not. He doesn't have such courage. Even if he dares, he should just be on guard."

After Mrs. Ji and others left, Mu Cheng personally poured a cup of tea for Imperial Physician Mu. For the first time, he said: "Dad, on the day Linfeng and the Duanmu family get married, my son should go there in person. In the past, my son was ignorant and listened to his mother's words. The child thinks that since he is a family, he should move around more."

Imperial Physician Mu was naturally pleased and praised: "Cheng'er has finally become sensible. When the time comes, we will all go and congratulate the boy."

“You all listen to dad.” After saying that, Mu Cheng handed the tea in his hand to Imperial Physician Mu, who drank it without thinking.

Compared with the colorless and odorless poison that Lord Ji drank, what Imperial Physician Mu drank was nothing.

Back at Ji Mansion, Lord Ji was hurriedly called away by Yin Zheng.

In the study, Yin Zheng told the truth about what he found. "Master Marquis, Zhang Shijun has changed shifts with someone recently and has been patrolling the city gate. Does he seem to be waiting for someone?"

Ji Houye had a solemn look on his face. "Oh? Are you waiting for someone? Then send someone to follow Yi Er to see who he is waiting for. Also, how is the investigation into Zhang Shijun's case?"

"Still investigating. This guy is very shrewd and seems to be diligent. He also has a good relationship with the people around him. He can't find any weak points to attack."

Ji Houye thought for a while and said, "If you can't find a weakness, create a weakness for him."

Hearing this, Yin Zheng's eyes lit up: "My subordinates know what to do. Don't worry, Lord Marquis."

“Wait, don’t make a move just yet, let’s see who he is waiting for?”

"yes."

Coming out of the study, Lord Ji went to Qingzhuyuan. At that time, Ji Yushu was painting on the stone table in the yard.

“Dad.” Hearing the footsteps, Ji Yushu raised his head.

"Shu'er, how are you looking for the brochure?" Lord Ji came over, swung his clothes and sat down opposite Ji Yushu.

Ji Yushu put down his pen and said in a solemn voice: "There is no progress at all. My second brother has been looking around in the name of inspection. At the same time, I also found that the people in the dark pavilion were also looking for the booklet."

“But Dad, my second brother recently discovered that something is wrong with the deputy commander Zhang Shijun. He has not taken a shower for half a month. I don’t know what conspiracy this person has.”

They have already learned from Mrs. Ji that Zhang Shijun belongs to the third prince, so they pay a lot of attention to this person.

Ji Houye was very pleased that Ji Linfeng had become more attentive, and said: "This person is waiting for someone. As for who he is waiting for, I don't know yet. Remind Feng'er not to alert the enemy."

Hearing what my father said, I knew that he had already sent someone to follow him. That's fine, he and his second brother will just focus on looking for the booklet.

"One more thing, Dad, I noticed a large number of beggars gathered in the west of the city. I have ordered people to give out porridge every other day. It is in the name of Zhishantang." The shopkeeper of Zhishantang is Guan Qing.

"This is feasible. If possible, find a stable place for them to live, especially those who are too old to take care of themselves."

“Okay, I’ll order someone to do it now.” Ji Yushu thought, if he couldn’t be an official in the government, doing business and doing good deeds was a good choice. In the future, if the Ji family really can't change their destiny, they should resign in advance and go back to their hometown to do business.

Ji Houye sat for a while longer, then got up and left. When I was approaching Wutong Courtyard, I suddenly felt dizzy, but it went away quickly.

He didn't take it seriously.
