Chapter 242 The Young Master Who Was Replaced by His Mistress 6
Ji Zongchi did not let the mother and daughter out, but went into Yang's yard with Jin Lianxin.
Yang no longer had the dignified and elegant appearance she once had. She wore outdated clothes that had become pale from washing. Her face was sunken and she looked extremely mean.
Yang directly stated that Ji Yin was the legitimate daughter of the Taiwei Mansion, and her marriage must be to a high-ranking official of a wealthy family.
Ji Yin stood in the corner, looking at Ji Zongchi, Jin Lianxin, and Yang with resentment.
It seemed like she hated everyone.
Jin Lianxin shook her head slightly. She faced Ji Yin at this moment as if she were facing a stranger, and there was no longer any ripple in her heart.
Ji Zongchi scoffed at what Yang said.
"Legitimate daughter? I think you've been staying in this courtyard for too long and have gone insane. My Taiwei Mansion only has one legitimate son, so how can there be a legitimate daughter?"
Jin Lianxin also wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
"Sister said Yinyin is a legitimate daughter and is willing to raise her status. I am very grateful, but a concubine's daughter is still a concubine's daughter. Yinyin is the flesh that crawled out of my belly. Of course I love her, but I also don't want her to lose her identity."
"She is just an unfavored concubine in the Taiwei Mansion."
Ji Yin retorted sharply: "You are talking nonsense! You are not my mother, you are a concubine! I am the legitimate daughter! Ji Yanli is the illegitimate daughter! He is a shameless bastard, he stole my legitimate status, he deserves to die!"
Jin Lianxin slapped her in the face.
This slap was different from the one he gave when he was a child. It was both clean and hard, and Ji Yin's face immediately swelled up.
"How dare you! You're disrespectful to your brother and have no manners! People like you, let alone the wealthy, even those with some sense of propriety and honor wouldn't want you!"
Ji Zongchi didn't expect that Ji Yin would become like this if she stayed with Yang Lan.
If you marry someone else, it would simply be making an enemy.
The several candidates in his mind disappeared instantly.
My cousin is right. Any family with some background and education would never marry such a bride.
Ji Zongchi turned around and took Jin Lianxin out. Behind them, Ji Yin's shrill curses were covered by Yang Lan's mouth, followed by Yang Lan's screams in pain.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! Why did you switch the baby? You ruined me, don't you know? You deserve to die! Go to hell!"
That night, Yang Lan really died.
Hang yourself.
Ji Yanli didn't know whether she regretted her death or not. Yang Lan used her death to exchange for Ji Yin's chance to come out.
It’s better for him to get out. It would be too easy for Ji Yin to be raised safely in that yard until he dies of old age.
On the surface, Yang was still the wife of the Grand Marshal's Mansion and Ji Yanli's biological mother, so a funeral still had to be held.
People from the Yang family also came and showed great sadness, but they did not ask any questions about why or how Yang Lan died. They tacitly agreed with what the Ji family said, that Yang Lan died of a sudden acute illness.
Just like during the years that Yang Lan was imprisoned, the Yang family never asked a single question.
The moment Ji Yin saw Ji Yanli, there was crazy hatred in his eyes. Ji Yanli's provocative curl of his lips made Ji Yin even more angry, as if he would rush over and bite people like a mad dog in the next second.
Ji Yanli also thought she would do so.
But Ji Yin held back.
She held herself dignifiedly, imitating Ji Yunshu, and tried hard to make herself look like a perfect lady from a noble family.
But her eyes kept wandering among the male guests who came to pay their respects.
After she secretly followed a young man out, Ji Yunshu frowned and was about to call her.
"Second sister."
Ji Yanli shook his head at Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu came over and whispered disapprovingly, "Brother, where is she going? If I'm not mistaken, the man she's with is the notorious bastard of the General's Mansion."
"Do you think she'll listen to you?"
Ji Yunhan was stunned and bit her lip.
I guess if she asked Ji Yin to stay away from that person, Ji Yin would just sneer and tell her to mind her own business.
She thought about it, called a maid who was responsible for cleaning over, and asked her to follow quietly in case anything happened.
Ji Yanli had seen that serious face and old-fashioned look since he was a child. He felt jealous and was afraid that Ji Yunshu would change the subject and scold him again, so he quickly ran away.
"And brother, how could you—"
After Ji Yunshu finished her instructions, she turned around to say a few more words to Ji Yanli, but she only saw his back as he walked away quickly.
After Yang's funeral, Ji Zongchi called Ji Yin over and gave her a booklet, which contained all the information he had compiled. It said that Ji Yin would marry into a family where she would not suffer from bullying or injustice.
Ji Yin flipped through a few pages and threw the booklet away.
"Father, my daughter has already fallen in love with the second young master of the general's mansion, so there's no need for you to bother looking for someone else for me."
"General's Mansion?"
Ji Zongchi didn't mind her unruly behavior this time. He just frowned and asked, "The third son of the general's mansion?"
Ji Yin: "He's the second son of the general's mansion."
Ji Zongchi was furious when he heard this.
"Do you know who his second brother is? When did you get involved with him? I'm telling you! No!"
How could Ji Yin not listen to him? They said that she was a concubine's daughter and was not worthy of the legitimate son of a wealthy family. So what was wrong with her finding a promising concubine's son for herself?
Do I really have to listen to them and marry an ordinary man or a poor scholar before they will be satisfied?
Ji Yin has become paranoid due to being raised by Yang. She feels that everyone in the general's mansion owes her and no one wants her to live a good life. But she just wants to let them see that she, Ji Yin, lives better than them!
A bastard's son is a bastard's son. When Dong Ye follows his father to the battlefield and makes meritorious service in the future, will he still worry about not being able to be promoted to an official position or a noble title?
The father and daughter had a big quarrel and parted on bad terms.
Ji Zongchi didn't know when she became involved with Dong Ye, but this relationship must be severed!
So Ji Yin was locked up again. Ji Zongchi invited a needlework master and palace maids who had been released from the palace due to age to teach Ji Yin. He also invited a female teacher who was familiar with the affairs of the imperial city to tell Ji Yin the ins and outs of each household in the imperial city.
This included how Dong Ye, the second son of the general's mansion, redeemed a famous prostitute and then abused her to death.
There is also the chaotic backyard of the general's mansion, and why the third son of the general's mansion, Dong Shu, has been weak since he was born.
This was the last bit of kindness he had for Ji Yin.
Ji Yin didn't appreciate it.
It should be said that she also held a hostile attitude towards the people Ji Zongchi invited for her.
When Dong Ye sneaked into the Taiwei Mansion to find her under the cover of night, Ji Yin followed him without hesitation.
On the second day, Ji Zongchi came to the general's mansion, and the two powerful ministers had a fight. Afterwards, the general's mansion came to propose marriage for their second son, asking for the second daughter of the Taiwei's mansion.
The Taiwei Mansion refused the marriage on the grounds that the second young lady had become ill due to longing for her stepmother's death.
Less than half a month later, the Taiwei Mansion held a funeral for the second young lady.
In the backyard of the general's mansion, Ji Yin couldn't believe the news.
Dong Ye snorted and laughed: "Your father is really cruel. From now on, the Taiwei Mansion has nothing to do with you. You are just a concubine in my general's mansion. Do you understand?"
He pinched Ji Yin's face hard, his eyes were emotionless and cold and frightening.
Ji Yanli did not pay much attention to Ji Yin's ending. It was only when he was drinking tea with friends that he heard that the second son of the general's mansion was injured in the vitals by a concubine with a hairpin and died without being saved. The concubine was also tortured to death.
Without Yang Lan and her daughter interfering, in this life, Ji Yunshu married the second son of the Shangshu Mansion. They went from treating each other with respect to supporting each other and lived a happy life.
As for Ji Yanli's marriage——
hiss,
Ji Zongchi and Jin Lianxin got a headache whenever they mentioned it.
