Chapter 712 Ji Qingfeng's Death
Chapter 712 Ji Qingfeng's Death
If Emperor Jingyang was unhappy, he might depose him from the title of Marquis, confiscate his property and exile him.
As arrogant as Ji Nanchuan was before, he is now in such a mess.
Looking at the mocking eyes of the ministers, he felt like thorns piercing his heart.
As soon as the morning came, he ran back home like a dog, with his tail between his legs.
When Ji Nanchuan was mentally devastated, he returned to the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
But as soon as he returned, he heard another piece of bad news.
The old butler ran out panting and reported: "My Lord, something terrible has happened. The Second Young Master suddenly passed away this morning."
"The servants asked a doctor to come and take a look. The doctor shook his head and said that the second young master was dead."
Ji Nanchuan: "..."
Ji Nanchuan: "!!!"
He staggered and almost lost his balance.
Every word of the housekeeper struck at his heart.
Ji Qingfeng is dead?
The last time Ji Qingfeng was stabbed by Ji Qingqing in prison, Ji Nanchuan went to ask Ji Yuntang to save him.
However, not only was Ji Yuntang unwilling to save him, he also humiliated him.
Later, it was Xia Chuhe who gave him some silver and helped Ji Qingfeng hire a doctor, which saved his life.
During this period, although Ji Qingfeng was bedridden, at least he was awake.
Ji Nanchuan thought that if he was allowed to rest for a while, he would be able to recover.
But he didn't expect that not long after that, the butler told him that Ji Qingfeng was gone.
The money was spent but the person couldn't be saved. How could Ji Nanchuan not collapse?
Coupled with the blow he suffered in the court, he was so angry that he felt a burst of rage in his heart, and a fishy and sweet taste rose up in his throat.
"Puff!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Ji Nanchuan leaned forward and fell straight to the ground.
This scene really frightened the butler.
He hurried forward to support Ji Nanchuan and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Someone, come quickly, the Marquis has fainted."
Overnight, the Yongning Marquis' Mansion suffered a greater change than before.
The news that Ji Qingfeng was killed by Ji Qingqing quickly spread throughout the capital.
Everyone was sighing in their hearts. No one had expected that the Second Miss Ji, who was held in the hands of her three brothers for fear of dropping her and held in their mouths for fear of melting, would end up killing her beloved brother with her own hands.
Overnight, white banners were hung inside and outside the Yongning Marquis's mansion, and all the servants wore black and white mourning clothes.
Ji Qingfeng had a pale face and lay motionless in the coffin.
Ji Nanchuan seemed to have aged ten years overnight. His jet-black hair had turned completely white, and he looked extremely gloomy.
Old Madam Ji sat in a wheelchair, crying inconsolably, her cloudy eyes unable to even open.
Ji Huaiche also rushed back from the Dali Temple. He didn't even bother to take off his official robe and went straight to the front hall.
Looking at the scene in the room, he was completely devastated.
He walked to Ji Qingfeng's coffin and looked at the young man inside with a heavy heart.
"Second brother, have a safe journey. I will definitely avenge you."
Just then, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside.
She was dressed in rags, her hair was like dead grass, and she looked crazy, with her face covering most of her face.
As soon as the woman came in, she rushed directly to Ji Qingfeng's coffin and reached out to push the corpse inside.
"Feng'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, wake up soon."
Ji Huaiche originally thought that this was a crazy woman who came from somewhere.
It was not until the other party called out "Feng'er" that he realized that the person was his biological mother, Meng.
Ever since Meng was locked up in the backyard by Ji Nanchuan, Ji Huaiche has never visited her again.
Little did he know that in just two months, Meng would become what she is now.
When Ji Nanchuan saw Meng, he went crazy.
His originally sad face became distorted, and he stood up in an instant, and said angrily:
"Who told you to let her out? Hurry up and take her away to me."
He clearly remembered that he did not order Meng to be released.
Because he knew that with Meng's temperament, it would only make the current situation more chaotic and Ji Qingfeng would not be able to rest in peace even after his death.
Meng was unwilling to leave. She pushed away the guards who tried to pull her away like a madman, and said through gritted teeth: "Ji Nanchuan, you are so cruel."
"Feng'er had such a big incident, and you didn't let me come to see him. You didn't even let me know about his burial. How could there be such a heartless person like you in this world!?"
"I am Feng'er's mother after all. Don't I even have the right to see my own son for the last time?"
"Pa!" As soon as Meng finished speaking, he was slapped hard in the face by Ji Nanchuan.
His eyes were red, and his face was distorted as he stared at Meng, "How dare you say that."
"If you hadn't been so selfish and narrow-minded, and hadn't raised Ji Qingqing to be so vicious, Feng'er wouldn't have suffered such a disaster. How could our Yongning Marquis Mansion have ended up in this state?"
"Ms. Meng, Qingfeng's death has everything to do with you as a mother!"
After hearing what Ji Nanchuan said, Meng became extremely angry.
She said angrily: "Ji Nanchuan, you put all the responsibility on me, a woman. Don't you, as a father, have any responsibility?"
"Back then, it was you and your mother who wanted to replace Ji Yuntang with Ji Qingqing. You said Ji Yuntang had a black spot on her face and was too ugly. With her appearance, she would never be able to become the Crown Princess in the future."
"On the contrary, Ji Qingqing looks fair and tender. As long as she is trained, she will be the most suitable candidate to be the Crown Princess."
"It was you who disliked your own daughter's ugliness and wanted to take someone else's daughter to replace her. Now you blame me and say it was my idea."
"Ji Nanchuan, you are so hypocritical. I must have been blind to marry you."
After going through so many things, Meng has seen Ji Nanchuan's true face.
If she had ever had any hope for Ji Nanchuan.
Now, the little love she had for Ji Nanchuan in her heart had completely disappeared.
All that is left at this moment are endless complaints and hatred.
Meng knew that as long as Xia Chuhe nodded, Ji Nanchuan would divorce her at any time and marry someone else.
In this man's heart, there is only interest, no emotion at all.
Even though she had been with him for more than 20 years and had suffered a lot, in the end she couldn't even get a glance from him.
If that’s the case, then why should I be nice to Ji Nanchuan?
When Ji Nanchuan heard Meng tell him everything that happened back then, he felt extremely angry.
You know, today is the day Ji Qingfeng is buried.
