Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 729: Poor, but still pretending to be generous

Xiao Wenxuan looked at Wei Yan's father Wei Lin several times, but Wei Lin didn't seem to be about to speak.

He knew that Wei Lin had some friendship with General Nan.

If Wei Lin could have a few words with General Nan at this time, he could have saved some face for him and he wouldn't have been left out so harshly.

The news that Wei Yan was beaten by Ji Shuangshuang must have reached the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. Xiao Wenxuan thought that his approach should satisfy the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

Judging from Wei Lin’s reaction, he was a little unconfident again.

If, by doing this, he still cannot satisfy the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, then the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion would be too proud of itself!

He also wanted Wei Lin to contact General Nan to see if he could win him over.

Since Wei Lin doesn't appreciate his kindness, he doesn't need to give Wei Lin any face anymore!

Xiao Yan'an was confident that he could fully control the situation.

……

Wei Yan specially asked someone to prepare some soup and prepared to send it to Xiao Wenxuan when he left the court.

"My queen, something bad has happened!" The maid ran in hurriedly.

"What happened?"

"As soon as the emperor left the court, he went to the imperial concubine's palace and lifted her house arrest."

"How could this happen? What method did Ji Shuangshuang use?" Wei Yan asked quickly.

"No, the Imperial Concubine has been staying in her palace and has not taken any action to win favor."

"Maybe it's because General Ji is coming to the capital." Wei Yan figured it out all of a sudden, "Just because General Ji is coming to the capital, the emperor immediately released Ji Shuangshuang. Then what's the point of all the things I did before? Does the emperor like me more, or Ji Shuangshuang? I clearly feel that he cares about me more!"

"My lady, what should we do now?"

"Send this news back to the Duke's Mansion first and see what grandfather says." Wei Yan immediately ordered.

"Yes."

……

When Xiao Wenxuan came to Ji Shuangshuang, he did not receive a warm welcome from Ji Shuangshuang.

He said that when Ji Shuangshuang's house arrest was lifted, Ji Shuangshuang didn't react at all, but kept poking the cat pretending to be dead in the cage with a stick.

"Shuangshuang, it's my fault for not being considerate enough and letting you suffer." Xiao Wenxuan had no choice but to coax her patiently.

"Your Majesty confined me because you were afraid that Wei Yan would be wronged. Why do you think I'm wronged now? I was confined for no reason, so why would Your Majesty lift my confinement? Is this unnecessary?"

"Wei Yan was wrong, but you were the one who hurt her. I symbolically confined you to the palace to shut up the Duke of Wei. Your parents will come to the capital tomorrow. Don't you want to meet them? I came here today to tell you this news."

"Will they be able to reach the imperial capital tomorrow?" Ji Shuangshuang confirmed excitedly.

"Yes, I will allow you to go to the palace to meet your parents tomorrow."

"Okay, okay!" Ji Shuangshuang nodded immediately.

Xiao Wenxuan walked forward and put his arm around Ji Shuangshuang's shoulders. "Are you still angry with me now?"

Ji Shuangshuang lowered her shoulders to avoid Xiao Wenxuan's hand.

"Are you still angry?" Xiao Wenxuan chased after her and hugged Ji Shuangshuang.

Ji Shuangshuang struggled for a bit, but Xiao Wenxuan held her even tighter.

"Shuangshuang, would you like to be my queen?" Xiao Wenxuan asked Ji Shuangshuang in her ear.

"If I become the queen, what will happen to Empress Chang? She is the emperor's wife, and she is pregnant." Ji Shuangshuang asked deliberately.

"Although she is my legal wife, she is the daughter of a criminal. She cannot be my queen. As for children, we will have children. If you give birth to a prince for me, I will immediately make him the crown prince."

Xiao Wenxuan deliberately said these words to Ji Shuangshuang so that Ji Shuangshuang could pass them on to General Ji.

I believe that as long as General Ji hears these words, he will never have any second thoughts.

Ji Shuangshuang was a little absent-minded, and Xiao Wenxuan thought she was thinking about becoming the queen in the future, but he didn't know that Ji Shuangshuang was actually feeling sorry for Chang Ru.

"Shuangshuang, I still have to review the memorials. I will come to accompany you tonight."

"Farewell, His Majesty." Ji Shuangshuang said immediately.

Xiao Yan'an thought that Ji Shuangshuang was still angry with him, so after he left, he ordered someone to notify Chang Ru and send some rewards to Ji Shuangshuang.

As soon as the person who delivered the message left, Chang Ru sneered.

"Your Majesty, what is there in the Emperor's private storehouse? Besides, the late Emperor's storehouse and the storehouse of the harem are both managed by the Grand Empress Dowager, and nothing can be taken out." The nanny looked at Chang Ru with embarrassment.

"Do you think the Emperor doesn't know how much he has? He is throwing the problem to me."

"Your Majesty wants the Queen to ask the Grand Empress Dowager for the key to the storehouse?"

"How could I possibly anger the Empress Dowager for such a small matter? Go to my own storehouse and pick out a few items. I'll personally deliver them to Ji Shuangshuang. Remember, don't buy anything too expensive."

"Yes."

Ji Shuangshuang was just about to find Chang Ru to tell her that she was released from house arrest when Chang Ru came to find her.

"Congratulations, sister, the house arrest has been lifted." Chang Ru said enthusiastically as soon as she came in.

"Sister, did you get the news so quickly? I was just about to find you and tell you that I could go out."

"Not only do I know that you have been released from house arrest, but I'm also here to deliver the reward from the Emperor." After Chang Ru finished speaking, two palace maids immediately came forward with trays.

Ji Shuangshuang didn't care about Xiao Wenxuan's reward, but when she saw the things, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

An agate necklace, and the beads are of very poor quality.

A hairpin, old-fashioned in style and crudely made, it's really hard to describe.

There is also a jade pendant, the color of which is like turbid water!

"Sister, let me explain to you, these things were not picked out from the palace storehouse, but my own things. I am not favored and my mother is of humble status, so I don't have any good things in my hands. This is the best I can show off." Chang Ru said hurriedly.

"Sister, weren't these given by the emperor? How could they be your personal belongings?" Ji Shuangshuang asked curiously.

"Sister, you don't know that the warehouse of the late emperor and the warehouse in the palace are all managed by the Empress Dowager. The emperor can only control the things in his own warehouse at present, and there is nothing he can take out of his warehouse. Since it is for your sister, I certainly don't want to let her down. So, he took the things from my warehouse. I am afraid that these things will not be to your liking." Chang Ru looked guilty.

Ji Shuangshuang was touched.

"Since they are my sister's things, how could I dislike them? Come here, take all these things and put them away properly. Then bring me my dressing box."

Soon, Ji Shuangshuang's dressing table was brought over.

As soon as she opened it, Chang Ru's eyes widened.

The dressing box has five layers in total, and every compartment is filled with precious gems, hairpins made of filigree, necklaces made of gold beads, and collars inlaid with gems...
