The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 212 - 211: Just Looking at Ji Mingzhu Makes Me Mad (2)

Chapter 212: Chapter 211: Just Looking at Ji Mingzhu Makes Me Mad (2)

Ji Mingzhu’s eyelid twitched; if she did this, every move she made would definitely be reported back to the Commandery Princess.

Those were the Commandery Princess’s people, who would surely act according to the Princess’s wishes to restrain her every word and deed.

She moved out of the Duke Mansion, yet she’s still being controlled by Princess An He, which is too miserable.

Thinking of this gave Ji Mingzhu a headache.

She hurriedly said, "Xie Yunzhen has arranged all these things, don’t worry."

"You’re not lying to me?"

Ji Mingzhu couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "I wouldn’t joke about myself and the child."

Mrs. Guan patted Ji Mingzhu’s hand, "You’ve become a mother now, you’re an adult. Aunt believes you can take good care of yourself and the child. Don’t mind Aunt’s nagging. Times are unsettled outside now, you should try not to leave the mansion. Even if someone comes from the Duke Mansion to invite you, don’t go."

"Of course, if someone comes to visit, don’t let them in. Don’t give anyone face, then you and the child will be safer."

Ji Mingzhu leaned on Mrs. Guan’s shoulder, "You truly care for me, I’m not ungrateful. Why would I find your words bothersome?"

Watching the child she raised suddenly pregnant and soon to become a mother,

Mrs. Guan genuinely felt that Mingzhu had truly grown up.

She felt somewhat melancholy for a moment.

"When Yun Ling is married with children, Yun Xuan also has a wife, none of you will need me anymore."

Just the thought made Mrs. Guan feel old.

Ji Mingzhu said grumpily, "We feel at ease with you around, why wouldn’t we need you?"

Mrs. Guan was comforted again.

"In the future, I’ll still help you take care of the children and enjoy family happiness!"

"Then I thank you in advance."

Ji Mingzhu had never taken care of a child before, a bit excited yet somewhat fearful she wouldn’t be able to do it.

Having elders’ support, she felt much more at ease.

...

After having lunch with Ji Mingzhu and instructing Jinzi and others to take good care of her, Mrs. Guan returned to the Duke Mansion to report.

Since she left, Princess An He felt restless.

Her mind was flying to Ji Mansion.

Upon hearing footsteps outside, she thought it was Mrs. Guan, quickly got up, and went out to greet her.

Seeing who it was, her face instantly fell.

"What are you doing here?"

At Princess An He’s place, Duke Xie had never gotten a warm reception, which he had somewhat gotten used to.

He awkwardly cleared his throat.

"An He, we are husband and wife."

Princess An He sneered, "When you kicked my son out, that wasn’t your attitude."

Recalling the events of a while ago, Duke Xie also felt embarrassed.

He expected his son to bounce back.

But he didn’t expect it to be so fast.

Causing the kid to not suffer hardships while he... didn’t get to see the day his son came to admit fault.

This farce made him look like a clown.

So much that he hadn’t gone out for a while, fearing the mocking eyes of others.

"Arguments and conflicts are inevitable; it’s normal for a family to have some discord. If you take words spoken in anger seriously, it means you’re treating me as an outsider; families don’t have grudges overnight."

Princess An He had long witnessed how thick-skinned Duke Xie was.

She gave him a cold look, "What do you really want to say? Could it be you’re trying to force me to yield the family’s authority to Du Peifang?"

Duke Xie’s face became even more embarrassed.

"I was just blinded by anger; don’t hold it against me."

Princess An He scoffed.

Whether blinded by anger or giving her a hard time when her son was down, anyone with eyes could see clearly.

She calmly sat back in the chair, "If you want me to calm down, you should sell off the cheap maid Xiao Mei beside Du Peifang, and I will forgive you."

Xiao Mei is Du Peifang’s main maid, having handled many matters for her.

Selling her off would be a slap in Du Peifang’s face.

And would leave her with one less helper.

Though it wouldn’t mean much, as long as Du Peifang suffered, Princess An He was happy.

The Du Family impeached her son, making Ah Zhen imprisoned for two months; this grudge she would never forget.

Unable to act against the Du Family, then having Du Peifang atone for her family’s wrongs would do.

Duke Xie was silent for a moment, "Alright, I promise you."

He kept Xiao Mei for Du Peifang’s sake.

Though the girl was young and clean, she was plain-looking, discarding her wouldn’t hurt him.

Most importantly, Xiao Mei was merely a maid with low status, not involving family interests.

As long as he could appease An He, complying with her wasn’t a big deal.

Duke Xie agreed too quickly, the mockery on Princess An He’s face grew heavier.

"You’re really heartless; a woman who served you, disposed of just like that."

The tone was gloomy as if reminiscing, "Poor Xiao Mei, losing her purity, who knows what she’ll do in the future."

Duke Xie felt a bit angry.

"You suggested selling Xiao Mei, I did it. Yet, you still mock me. What must I do to please you?"

For people she detested, no matter what they did, Princess An He couldn’t be happy.

Unless he died, quickly making way for her son, only then might she shed a few tears for him.

With patience lost, she didn’t want to see Duke Xie anymore.

"Speak of the matter."

Duke Xie didn’t want to stay in the main courtyard, being repeatedly troubled by Princess An He.

With such time, wouldn’t it be better to be in someone else’s room, being comforted?

An He always called him heartless, a cad, but he too was forced.

He’s a man and desired gentle care.

If An He couldn’t provide it, then he would find it elsewhere, what’s the problem with that?

After all, it didn’t shake her position as his main wife!

With a cold face, he said, "You should let Ji Mingzhu return to the mansion."

Although the reply from Mrs. Guan hadn’t arrived yet, Princess An He refused flat-out.

"Just seeing her makes me angry, she should never come back, always causing trouble for me!"

Duke Xie’s hand trembled with anger, "And Ah Zhen too, you don’t want him either?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Ah Zhen is Ah Zhen, Ji Mingzhu is Ji Mingzhu, how can they be lumped together?"

"You’re utterly unreasonable!"

Inwardly, Duke Xie cursed: Fool!

If Ji Mingzhu doesn’t come home, would Ah Zhen return to the Duke Mansion?

With the rebel off in the capital, wouldn’t it be best to quickly bring Ji Mingzhu back, what was he waiting for!
