Fortunately, they did it quickly and didn't give others any evidence to use against them, otherwise they wouldn't still be alive and sitting here.

The Ji brothers and sisters knelt in the snow. Ji Kang came back from the palace and saw this scene. He saw snow falling on Ji Mengshu's thin back. The worries of so many days finally broke out.

"Shu'er, Yuanzheng, why are you kneeling?"

Ji Kang's majestic voice sounded behind him. A middle-aged man wearing a cloak stood with his hands behind his back. Ji Mengshu turned his head and called out weakly, "Father..."

Both his daughter and son are very stubborn. Once they have made up their minds to something, they will achieve their goal no matter how hard they try.

Just like when Ji Yuanzheng, who was not even twenty years old, had learned a lot of skills at home, but he actually wanted to go to the border county to join the army. Jiang's mother was so angry that she couldn't eat for several days. She lectured Ji Yuanzheng all day long. She said that Ji Yuanzheng was just a man who was not even twenty years old. He learned some skills in the capital, but he actually wanted to go to the military camp in the border county, which was adjacent to the barbarians, who burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.

Even people who have lived in the military camp for decades avoid it, but he, a boy not even twenty years old, is eager to try it.

In the end, Ji Yuanzheng went anyway. Although Ji Kang was a little worried about him, the capital city was like a cage. If a man never went out to see the world, he would probably be trained to be a lazy and playboy.

With Ji Kang's support, Ji Yuanzheng took a few people to the military camp, but the military camp was hard, and the few servants who followed Ji Yuanzheng were soon sent back. Ji Yuanzheng spent years alone in the border county, and in these battles, he became the Major General of Longyou.

Real fame.

"Shu'er was wrong and put the Ji family in danger. It's my daughter's fault, and it's right for my mother to punish me." In just a short while, Ji Mengshu felt a chill all over her body. The coldness penetrated her clothes and directly touched her skin. The color of her lips gradually faded, but her back was still kneeling straight.

Ji Yuanzheng bowed, "Father, I actually know the truth, and I will bear the guilt of hiding it from my mother together with Ah Shu."

Ji Kang strode into the house heated by the floor heating. Since the accident, Jiang's mother had been tossing and turning at night, crying in her dreams countless times, and her face had become extremely haggard in just a few days. Ji Kang knew that she just wanted to admonish the two children...

But it was freezing outside... Ji Kang entered the house, "Madam... Shu'er is back. I know Shu'er must have done something wrong, but it takes two to tango. Madam, don't you think it's unfair to punish only Shu'er?"

"Is it biased?" Jiang's mother laughed coldly, still looking a little angry. "Could it be that the master wants me to teach that concubine in the palace a lesson?"

Mother Jiang refers to Ji Ningqiu.

By accident, Ji Ningqiu went from being the wife of the Xu family to being the virtuous concubine in the palace. The second house also rose in status as a result. However, the second master spent his days in debauchery and talked about his daughter who entered the palace as a concubine to everyone he met.

Ji Kang persuaded Jiang's mother with kind words, and she finally agreed. "Tell them to leave. I owed them a lot in my previous life."

Hongye carefully helped Ji Mengshu, whose knees were already numb. Ji Yuanzheng was born in the army, so he was very agile, so kneeling for a while was harmless. After limping back to Fulanxuan, Hongye quickly ordered someone to boil ginger soup, and the warm stove brought the warmth to the person and he leaned against her.

Ji Mengshu raised the corners of her lips slowly, with a sense of contentment. She was not afraid that Jiang's mother would not appreciate her trick of inflicting pain on herself.

"Green Bamboo."

"Miss, your knees are uncomfortable. Can I ask the imperial physician to come for you?" Qingzhu and the two little maids in the room wanted to surround Ji Mengshu and made her laugh so hard.

"My brother has been kneeling with me for a long time. Even a strong person would feel uncomfortable. Qingzhu, please send the ginger soup and hand warmer from the kitchen to my brother. Don't let him catch a cold."

Qingzhu nodded and did as he was told.

The news of Ji Mengshu's return home was only known in a small circle. After all, it was not a glorious thing. Ji Kang also kept the news secret. Even if his colleagues saw Prime Minister Ji, they did not dare to ask directly.

Although Ning Huaixuan always took a nonchalant attitude towards such matters, the empress dowager's eyes and ears were very sensitive. The next morning, Nanny Huang went out of the palace in person with an oral order and summoned Ji Mengshu alone.

Following the maids in the palace, I entered the Qianqing Palace. The empty palace was only occupied by a few maids, who hung their heads and remained silent and motionless, like part of the entire palace mural. "Miss, the Queen Mother will be here soon. Please wait for a while." Nanny Huang still spoke in a neutral tone, without any contempt for the previous rumors in the capital.

However, Ji Mengshu did not think that it was a problem of their poor hearing and vision. If that was the case, they would not have delivered the order as soon as she appeared in their field of vision.

In the past, the Queen Mother's attitude was always particularly intimate. If it were in her previous life, although she could not say that she had any good feelings towards her, she did not feel bad about the Queen Mother. It was not until she entered the palace in her previous life that she realized the conspiracy and scheming behind it.

Unfortunately it was too late.

I don't know how long I knelt in the Qianqing Palace before the Empress Dowager came in slowly, supported by Huang Mama. The Empress Dowager was already old. When she walked in, her cloudy eyes glanced at the person kneeling on the ground. A cold snort escaped from her nose.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother. May you be blessed with great fortune."

"Look up." The Queen Mother's cold voice sounded, and it was like two different people compared to the previous friendly voice. "Shu'er, I heard that you were kidnapped. The Prime Minister sent many servants to look for you but they couldn't find you. How did you come back?"

Ji Mengshu had a sad face, "Grandmother! I... your humble servant... am so sorry for your cultivation. On the seventh day of the lunar year, I got up in the middle of the night to wash and dress, and bid farewell to my parents in the hall. However, because the people from the palace were late, I... I went to the side hall with my second sister to wait..."

When it came to the key point, Ji Mengshu sobbed twice, sobbing, "Second sister talked to me about some private things, and I felt dizzy, but I woke up soon, but my head was still a little dizzy, but I also knew that important things could not be delayed, so I let the two maids around me go out, and finally my brother helped me get on the sedan chair..."

"Wuwu——Grandmother, please help me! I really don't know why I got on the bridal sedan of the Xu Mansion... and was... and was kidnapped by bad guys... My reputation is ruined..."

Ji Mengshu complained bitterly to the Queen Mother, crying so hard that her eyes were filled with tears and the whole world was shaken.
