Chapter 357: Family law service
"Mother is teaching me that it's all my daughter-in-law's fault. I shouldn't have given birth to Ji Yuntang, which made me unhappy. Please punish me."
Madam Ji picked up the ruler and hit Meng's palms several times, turning her palms red, but she didn't dare to scream.
This is not the first time that Meng has suffered such punishment!
On the contrary, if she did anything that did not please Madam Ji, she would be punished by her.
Either she was beaten with a ruler or whipped with a whip, and Meng didn't dare to resist at all.
Because as long as she resisted, Old Madam Ji would go and complain to Ji Nanchuan, saying that she was unfilial to her parents-in-law.
Meng will be beaten by Ji Nanchuan again.
She has become smarter over the years and no longer resists Old Madam Ji. She will stop fighting when she is tired!
Old Madam Ji hit Meng more than thirty times before she put down the ruler.
She snorted with disdain. She knew that Meng was used to being submissive and didn't dare to talk back to her.
In this marquis's mansion, apart from the servants, the wife of the marquis, Mrs. Meng, has the lowest status!
If it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to three grandsons for the Marquis's Mansion, she would have kicked Meng out long ago!
Madam Ji took the teacup handed over by the maid, took a sip, and said to Ji Nanchuan: "Chuan'er, your wife is too unreasonable. You must discipline her more in the future."
Meng's hands trembled with fear.
Ji Nanchuan said respectfully: "My son will follow my mother's teachings."
He glanced at Meng with such a cold and sharp look that Meng's shoulders trembled with fear.
In Ji Nanchuan's opinion, the reason why Madam Ji knew about Ji Zihang's imprisonment and Ji Yuntang's winning of the crown must be that Meng Shi did not discipline the servants in the mansion well, so the news reached her ears.
This is all Meng's fault. It's because she failed as a mistress that the entire inner courtyard of the house is filled with chaos.
Just when Ji Nanchuan was thinking about how to punish Meng, a servant suddenly came to report in a hurry.
"My Lord, Madam, something terrible has happened!"
"Something happened to the Second Miss. When the subordinates found her, they discovered that she had been beaten all over and was still unconscious."
When Madam Ji heard this, her brain exploded!
She felt a black screen before her eyes, and she was so angry that she fainted.
Meng hurried over to support her and shouted to the maid to call the palace doctor.
"Quick, go get the doctor!"
Ji Nanchuan had no intention of caring about Madam Ji. He was horrified and stepped forward to grab the servant by the collar and asked, "Didn't the second young lady get invited to Qianqiu Tower by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How could she be in trouble?"
"Also, didn't I ask you to pick up the second young lady and bring her back home? What happened?"
How could the servant know this? He said with a sad face: "My Lord, please calm down. I don't know what's going on either!"
"We went to pick up the Second Miss, but when we arrived at Qianqiu Tower, we didn't find her at all. After asking around, we found out that her carriage had gone out of the city!"
"We followed the tracks left by the carriage and finally found the second young lady in a mass grave. When we found her, she was put in a sack and was beaten all over..."
The more the servant spoke, the softer his voice became and the more his body shook. He could clearly feel the tremendous rage emanating from Ji Nanchuan.
He felt that Ji Qingqing was both lucky and unfortunate.
Fortunately, after Ji Nanchuan learned that Ji Qingqing was named the Crown Princess by Luo Jingshen, he was afraid that she would not be safe outside, so he sent the servants of the Marquis' Mansion to Qianqiu Tower to pick her up and bring her back to the mansion.
That's how they discovered Ji Qingqing's whereabouts and saved her life.
Unfortunately, Ji Qingqing was beaten black and blue. Her beauty, which she was so proud of, no longer looked as it originally was. She looked as miserable as she could be.
She had just been promised the position of Crown Princess by the Crown Prince, but the imperial decree granting the marriage had not yet come down.
Luo Jingshen is famous for his love of beauty. If Ji Qingqing's face is disfigured, is there still hope for her to become the Crown Princess?
Ji Nanchuan could naturally think of what the servants could think of.
He kicked the servant away and said angrily: "Pass on my order to block the news of the Marquis' Mansion. No one is allowed to spread the news of the Second Miss's injury, let alone let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know."
"If I know that someone is gossiping behind my back, I will kill him without mercy!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Marquis, I will inform them right away."
Upon hearing this, the servant ran away in panic, and Ji Nanchuan took off the token from his waist and threw it to Meng.
"Take my token and go to the palace to invite a reliable imperial physician. Tell him that your mother is ill and ask him to treat her."
"Qingqing is the greatest hope of the Marquisate right now. No matter how much it costs, we must heal her face now."
Although Meng had some complaints in her heart, she also knew the seriousness of the matter.
They also have to rely on the prince to get Ji Zihang out of prison, and Ji Qingqing's position as the crown princess must not be lost.
Without saying a word, Meng took Ji Nanchuan's token and left.
The entire mansion was in chaos, and the atmosphere had changed from the initial joy to the current depression.
As happy as Ji Nanchuan had been just now, he was as angry now.
When he saw Ji Qingqing, his anger reached its peak.
Ji Qingqing's face was so miserable that it could only be described with one word.
His hair was messy, his mouth and nose were bleeding, his eyes were swollen like walnuts, and there were bruises all over both sides of his cheeks.
Ji Nanchuan took one look and couldn't bear to look at it a second time. He clenched his fists and turned his face away.
"Who on earth wants to destroy our Yongning Marquis Mansion?"
The only person he could think of was Ji Yuntang.
After Meng invited the imperial physician back, the physician started to treat Ji Qingqing.
After checking her pulse, Ji Nanchuan hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my daughter's face?"
The doctor said, "Fortunately, the Second Miss only has some superficial injuries on her face. I will prescribe some medicine to reduce the swelling after applying it for a period of time."
Upon hearing this, Ji Nanchuan and Meng both breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Qingqing's face was fine, which was a blessing in disguise for them!
Before the imperial physician left, Meng gave him a large sum of silver notes and asked him to keep the matter secret for them.
The imperial physician knew that Ji Qingqing might be the future Crown Princess, so he naturally agreed without hesitation!
After settling Ji Qingqing down, Ji Nanchuan immediately called Meng into the room.
"Come with me!"
Meng didn't dare to disobey his order, and followed slowly behind him.
Ji Nanchuan was angry when he saw her humble appearance. She didn't act like a mistress at all. He grabbed Meng's arm and asked:
"What are you afraid of? I am your husband and I will not eat you."
Meng: "..."
Ji Nanchuan would not eat her, but he had a changeable personality and would beat her when he was in a bad mood.
