Chapter 1075 - 901: Lady Ji’s Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet_2
The faces of the nanny and the wife of the Duke of Zhen Guo were all embarrassed, and their hearts were quite alarmed.Especially the wife of the Duke of Zhen Guo, she thought that maybe something she had said earlier had angered this Third Madam of the Ji Family!
"Madam, you flatter this old servant too much. I didn’t mean it like that! It was this old servant who misspoke, please forgive me, Third Madam!"
"There’s no need for forgiveness or anything like that. Today you came to find my mother just to say that our Seventh brother was slow in his investigation, causing your lady to suffer in the Celestial Prison, isn’t that right?"
"No, no, no! That’s not what we meant, Madam, please don’t misunderstand!"
The nanny beside the wife of the Duke of Zhen Guo felt wronged and quickly looked towards her master!
"Third Madam, you’re really trying to impose a crime that doesn’t exist. We never said anything like that, nor did we mean it!"
The wife of the Duke of Zhen Guo glanced at Zhu Xiuxiu with some anger on her face.
"Is that not what you meant? But I hear between the lines that everything you’re saying means just that!
Madam of the Duke of Zhen Guo, poisoning the Emperor is no small matter. Our Seventh brother is ordered to investigate it naturally, and he must investigate everything thoroughly and present the dossier to His Majesty. It is up to His Majesty to decide in the end. If you think our Seventh brother’s investigation is too slow, or that we lack the ability to investigate this case, you can have the Duke of Zhen Guo report to His Majesty and ask someone more expert to investigate. Why come to the Ji Family to raise a fuss?"
Zhu Xiuxiu faced the anger of the wife of the Duke of Zhen Guo without any fear and retaliated directly!
"Oh, Third Madam, what do you mean by that?
Why do I hear your words always so cynical?
We indeed came to the Ji Family to seek help, but not to find discomfort. Although our Duke’s Mansion does not hold any significant positions in the Imperial Court, we are nevertheless imperial relatives and noble families in this Great Han Dynasty!"
The wife of the Duke of Zhen Guo, furious, confronted Zhu Xiuxiu sharply, and after speaking, she turned and left without even saying goodbye!
"You! You! When will you ever learn to change your impatient temper?
Look, just a few words and you’ve offended someone. Won’t it be awkward when you see them again later?"
After the wife of the Duke of Zhen Guo left with a snort, the Elder Madam of the Ji Family helplessly pointed at Zhu Xiuxiu standing beside her with her index finger, her tone full of resignation.
"Mother! This matter is the fault of the Duke of Zhen Guo’s Mansion! The young girl made a mistake; shouldn’t she be taught a lesson?
Pan’Er was merely advising with good intentions, giving a few pointers, but when it came to us, her words seemed to have changed their meaning entirely?
I just can’t stand such people, full of cunning trickery!"
Xie Pan’Er, having spent so much time with them day and night, they know her warm heart, but if asked to say anything bad about Seventh brother, to bring trouble to him, that would never happen!
So the words from the wife of the Duke of Zhen Guo, she didn’t even need to hear them all to determine the outcome for the other party!
"You, you, don’t you know that what you’ve done today might bring trouble to Pan’Er at some point?"
"What’s there to fear?
Pan’Er is already part of the Ji Family. If the Duke of Zhen Guo’s Mansion behaves themselves, then fine, but if they really start causing trouble, why couldn’t I stand up for Pan’Er?"
"You should stop boasting. If this matter truly involves anything, it will involve the Imperial Court.
You’re just the daughter of a merchant, no, now adding one more title, the wife of the richest man in the world, you can’t interfere in the Imperial Court!"
"You... Mother! Look at Second Sister-in-law, she just wants to bully me, always thinking about how to keep me down!"
Zhu Xiuxiu, unable to outtalk Huo Xing’Er, directly held the arm of the Elder Madam of the Ji Family and acted coyly.
"Alright, both of you say less. I’ve already written the invitations. Later, help me review them and see how they should be sent out. Three days later, we’ll host a plum appreciation banquet at the Ji Mansion, inviting various ladies and misses to attend! Additionally..."
The Elder Madam of the Ji Family hesitated for a moment when mentioning this, thinking of what Ji Youzhi said about Lu Yunsheng. Perhaps it’s time to do it together!
"Additionally, include several young talents in the list and invite them over as well, so that our Seventh brother can make some acquaintances!"
"?"
Zhu Xiuxiu and Huo Xing’Er exchanged glances. Did their Lord God Hunter still need to meet young talents?
That day, anyone with a notable reputation in Capital City received the invitation from the Elder Madam of the Ji Family!
