Chapter 220 Jealousy
Chapter 220 Jealousy
The more Ji Yunzheng saw how well Ji Mingzhao lived, the more jealous she became.
Why?
Why was he beaten and scolded in the Wang family, and even his child was aborted by that woman, while Ji Mingzhao, a lowly servant, could live so well?
A lowly person like him should be like his father, always being pointed at and cursed by others.
It’s not like it is now, where the wife loves him and won’t be rejected even if she gives birth to a boy.
After hearing his words, Ji Mingzhao felt inexplicably cold. He certainly knew that the second young master would not be so kind.
Ji Yunzheng slowly walked to his side, which reminded Ji Mingzhao of when he was in the Ji family. In the middle of winter, Ji Yunzheng pressed his head into a water tank, and his clothes were soaked by the cold water, causing him to catch a cold.
He lowered his eyes, stepped back in fear, and said boldly: "Thanks to you, I am doing well now. You can leave now."
"Thanks to me?"
Ji Yunzheng still acted cowardly and fearful in front of Wang Rong, but when he was with Ji Mingzhao, he seemed to have found his little dignity back and straightened his back.
He almost roared the words out, and he lifted up his clothes to show Ji Mingzhao the scars on his body. Some of the wounds had not even healed yet, and new wounds had appeared on top.
"Look, are you satisfied now? I'm living a life worse than death in the Wang family, while you're enjoying a good life in the Gu family. You probably don't know yet, but it was me that your wife wanted to marry."
In the past, Gu Qingyuan would run after him and even secretly look at him when they went out on the street.
But after she saw the Seventh Prince coming out of the palace, she set her mind on that man.
If his mother had not looked down on Gu Qingyuan and disagreed with him marrying her, she would have hastily married Ji Mingzhao, the child of the Ji family whom she had almost forgotten.
It should be me, not him, who is living such a comfortable life now.
"Yes, really?"
Ji Mingzhao didn't know what the relationship between her and Ji Yunzheng was like in the past, but now she cared about him and treated him well, and that was enough.
Xiaohan keenly noticed that the atmosphere was amiss and the conversation between the two people. He bravely stood between the two people to separate them.
Then he said to Ji Yunzheng politely: "Our young master needs to rest, please ask this second young master Ji to go back."
"Get off."
Ji Yunzheng pushed Xiaohan impatiently, almost knocking him to the ground. Seeing that he was about to fall, Ji Mingzhao called out worriedly, "Xiaohan, are you okay?"
Xiaohan staggered for a moment before he regained his balance and shook his head.
Then he put his hands on his hips and said to Ji Yunzheng, "How can you be so rude? You said you had something to ask our Master, so I let you in. Why did you start yelling at our Master as soon as you came in?"
"How dare you, a servant, speak to me like that? It seems your master hasn't educated you well."
Ji Yunzheng looked at Xiaohan with contempt. In his opinion, the lives of servants were as worthless as grass. If a servant in the Ji family dared to speak to him like that, he would have had that servant beaten to death long ago.
Xiaohan said unconvincedly: "My masters are our young master and son, what kind of master are you?"
He had noticed before that Ji Mingzhao was too soft-hearted. Whenever he stood up for him, Ji Mingzhao would advise him to mind his own business.
But if he doesn't stand up to defend Ji Mingzhao, he will probably be trampled underfoot.
Ji Yunzheng's face turned blue with anger, and she raised her hand to hit Xiaohan, but Xiaohan was from the General's Mansion after all, and knew some martial arts.
Not only did he dodge Ji Yunzheng's slap, he also stepped on him hard.
Perhaps because the noise was a little too loud, An An started crying. Ji Mingzhao heard the child crying and hurried over to comfort him.
Xiaohan and Ji Yunzheng were left to confront each other.
Even Liu Shui came over and advised, "Why don't we ask the young master to come and solve this problem?"
When Ji Yunzheng heard that Gu Qingyuan was going to be invited over, he seemed a little scared. That woman was even more ruthless than he thought. He had begged her so much last time, but she remained indifferent, as if she didn't know him.
Xiaohan said hesitantly: "If the young master is busy now, it is better not to trouble him with the matters in the backyard."
Liu Shui still said, "Then I will go and invite the young master."
The man looked like he came with bad intentions and he was really worried that something might happen.
Ji Yunzheng flicked her sleeves and put down the clothes she had just lifted up. "Forget it, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do."
When he looked at Ji Mingzhao, Ji Mingzhao tightly protected the child in his arms. Thinking that he was just looking for an excuse to come out, Ji Yunzheng hurried out.
After Ji Yunzheng left, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Mingzhao couldn't stand the cold winter and broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing the beads of sweat on his forehead, Xiaohan asked, "Are you feeling a bit hot, sir? Do you want to open the window and get some fresh air?"
Ji Mingzhao gently wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while."
An An was a little hungry, so he tried to feed him.
Fortunately, he is now slowly producing milk and can feed the baby himself.
After Ji Yunzheng went out, she tidied her clothes before walking towards Wang Rong.
Wang Rong had drunk a lot of wine, and he frowned with some disgust, not wanting her to lean on him.
"Why did it take so long?"
Wang Rong's voice suddenly rang out, and Ji Yunzheng was startled, thinking that she was drunk.
"I, I didn't find the direction at first."
Fortunately, she seemed to believe it and didn't ask any more questions.
Looking at this woman, Ji Yunzheng felt both scared and annoyed, and wished she would die.
Ji Mingzhao's current appearance slowly emerged in his mind. He was extremely jealous and only hated that person not himself.
At the banquet at this time.
After the scandals of those women were made public, people looked at them with somewhat subtle eyes.
They couldn't help laughing when they thought that someone who seemed so glamorous and powerful in the court actually had such a disgusting hobby in private.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the women's constantly changing expressions with satisfaction, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In the end, they couldn't stand the pressure anymore and found a lame excuse to leave the party.
"By the way, how's Ji Cefu doing?"
Gu Qingyuan found a servant and asked.
"You mean Ji Cefu? I just saw someone go look for him."
"Someone's looking for him?"
"Yes, he said he was the second son of the Ji family and went to see Ji's wife."
"okay, I get it."
Gu Qingyuan waved his hand and asked the man to leave.
She didn't think Ji Mingzhao's family would be so kind.
