The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

After that, everyone was silent.

After a while, the second lady finally found her voice and said in disbelief, "You...you really came out of the Colosseum?"

Ji Yan glanced at her and lifted his sleeves. The criss-crossing scars on his arms were horrifying. Judging from the scars, they were there for many years.

What everyone expected was nothing more than a farce.

Mother Jiang sneered and shot her sharp eyes at the Second Madam, "According to what you said, you can't bear to see my Shu'er get any better?"

The Second Madam hurriedly smiled and said, "What are you talking about, First Madam? As the Second Aunt, I naturally hope that Shu'er will be well..."

You may say this, but it is not certain whether you really mean it in your heart.

Ji Ranran and Ji Ningqiu, who were shouting happily at the dinner table, were now speechless. They had never thought that the adulterer who was kept in the mansion would become the secret guard of Prime Minister Ji. What was originally a daughter's intention was said to be such a dirty mind...

The Third Lady also laughed, "We are a family... It's just a small misunderstanding. The girls are young and heard people talking nonsense outside. This is also for the good of the Fifth Lady..."

what's good?

She didn't see it, but what she saw was just the hypocrisy of a group of people who were barely wearing cardboard masks.

After provoking Ji Mengshu, do you still expect to get away with it? Ridiculous.

"What are you talking about, Third Aunt? Second sister, Fourth sister, who are all here are older than me. Now you want to take advantage of your young age to expose the slander against the legitimate daughter?" Ji Mengshu tapped the table with his fingertips. There is no such good thing in the world.

The second wife looked at Ji's father and Jiang's mother and saw that they had no intention of stopping them. It seemed that they were determined to support their daughter. "Shu'er, those words were said by outsiders. Besides, your two sisters just heard the rumors by accident and told you because they thought it was bad for your reputation... How could you think that of your two sisters?"

Ji Ranran echoed, "Yes, Fifth Sister, I just heard it from outsiders. This is none of my business. Fifth Sister, you are broad-minded, so don't bother with me."

"Broad-minded?" Ji Mengshu chuckled, with a jade-like expression on her face, "Fourth sister is a famous talented woman in the imperial city. In terms of thoughts and mind, Fourth sister should be more clear-headed. How could she be blinded by a few words from outsiders?" Ji Mengshu raised his eyelids and scanned the people present one by one, "Or was this spread from the family?"

"Oh, there is no such thing." The second wife seemed to have suffered a great injustice in her heart, and quickly looked at Jiang's mother, "In this house... there is absolutely no such thing."

Ji Mengshu nodded at Xiao Cui and said, "Second Uncle, you are really a noble person who forgets things easily. Didn't Xiao Cui see it?"

The witness who had sworn to be an eyewitness before, now turned like a spinning knife and attacked his master directly.

Xiao Cui knelt down in panic and kowtowed to Father Ji and Mother Jiang, "Master, Madam, Fifth Miss! I didn't spread it! I didn't!"

"But you were the first one in the Ji family to see it, weren't you? No matter how much nonsense these people outside make up, if it is groundless, with the status of our Ji family, who would dare to say nonsense?" Ji Mengshu glanced at her, "It must have been spread from the mansion. Xiao Cui, you are trying to rape the master, do you know your mistake?"

Ji Ningqiu swallowed and stared at Xiao Cui. The second lady's hands under the table were also tightly clenched with a handkerchief, fearing that Xiao Cui would say something she shouldn't.

Mother Jiang slammed the table. The usually dignified lady looked slightly angry, "Xiao Cui! Why don't you tell the truth?"

"I know I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong!"

Seeing that Xiao Cui was about to give them both away with her mouth, the Second Madam could no longer sit still. She walked up to her and kicked her in the chest. Xiao Cui fell to her knees on the ground.

"You black-hearted bastard, our Ji family treats you servants well, but you are so full of yourself that you are making up stories about your master? Someone, take her out!" The second wife cursed. It was not because of anything else, but because she was her daughter's personal maid. If this matter was traced back to them, it would be a loss.

"Wait!" Mother Jiang slowly stood up from her seat, and Ji Yuanzheng followed her, having already planned on avenging his younger sister.

"Xiao Cui, why did you try to rape the Fifth Miss?" Jiang's mother spoke in a dignified manner. Xiao Cui fell to the ground, her heart in turmoil.

"Why don't you tell me quickly?" Ji Yuanzheng glanced at Xiao Cui coldly, and he wished he could hit her with a spear and force her to tell the truth.

Ji Ningqiu sat in her seat without moving, as if the maid being questioned was not Xiao Cui. She held the teacup and drank tea calmly, but it was not difficult to see that her hand holding the teacup was shaking a little.

"To answer Madam, it was Xiao Cui who was confused for a moment and discussed the matter of seeing the fifth girl entering and leaving the suburban house with the servants in the mansion. But Madam, I really didn't mean to spread this matter... Madam! Please, Madam, spare my life for the sake of the many years I have worked for the Ji family! Madam!"

Xiao Cui kowtowed to the ground with a bang.

Look, this servant is really protective of his master. Even at this critical moment, he still refuses to give out the person behind the scenes.

Ji Mengshu looked at Ji Ningqiu who couldn't even hold the tea steadily and asked with a smile, "Second sister, Xiao Cui is your personal maid anyway, so why don't you ask for mercy?"

Ji Ningqiu put down the teacup coldly and said righteously, "Although Xiao Cui is my maid, she talked about the young lady in the mansion and accidentally spread the matter, which damaged the reputation of our young lady of the Ji family. No matter what, it was her fault first."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Cui collapsed on the ground dejectedly. Ji Mengshu chuckled, saying that it was a good idea to sacrifice the pawn to save the king.

Mother Jiang looked at the man on the ground and called two guards in, "Give him twenty strokes of the cane, and ask the servants to sell him off."

"Yes!"

"Madam! Master! Spare my life! Second Miss, save me! Second Madam, save me!"

It was useless for her to call anyone today. Her masters were determined to abandon her. Even if she prayed to God, it was too late.

After the farce ended, no one had the heart to eat. The Third Lady quickly took the talkative Ji Ranran to leave. The Second Lady said a lot of nice things to Jiang's mother before she reluctantly took Ji Mengshu out.

In a flash, only Ji's father and Jiang's mother were left in the room, along with Ji Yuanzheng, Ji Mengshu, and Ji Yan who had remained silent.

"You really think I don't understand? Ji Ningqiu won the favor of His Majesty in the palace, so she came back to plot against my daughter in the mansion?"
