Chapter 1699 - 1699 She Was Willing To Go Through Any Underhanded Means1699 She Was Willing To Go Through Any Underhanded Means
Ji Lingxiu was unable to say anything from the shock. All she heard was Ji Linghui still reveling in delight from the scandal as she continued speaking, “The woman told me that Chu Qi had killed her older sister and she is seeking revenge. When she found out Long Ji’er had left for West Water Frontier with Chu Qi, she came up with a plan to destroy Long Ji’er and make Chu Qi suffer miserably as a result. She would be able to sow discord between Long Ji’er and the Emperor at the same time.”
“No one would be able to accept the truth of nearly being killed by their father upon birth. Tell me, how much would Long Ji’er hate her parents if she found out the truth? Haha. The world is fair. To think that they would one day suffer such a fate and be hated by their daughter. What a joke.”
Ji Lingxiu’s brain buzzed. She felt her sister must have gone insane.
She was willing to go through any underhanded means just to get revenge on His Majesty and Lu Liangwei.
Even if she had an old grudge between His Majesty and Lu Liangwei, she should not involve their children.
Ji Lingxiu felt like the sky was about to fall on her. The Ji Family was about to be finished. The worst thing about this was that it would implicate her husband’s family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe wrath of an Emperor would result in the death of millions!
It was not enough that Ji Linghui sought death for herself, was she content only after she caused the death of her family and her entire clan as well?
Ji Lingxiu could no longer listen to any happy words spouted by Ji Linghui.
She left the villa decisively and no matter how loud her older sister called out for her, she ignored Ji Linghui.
Damn it. All she felt was that catastrophe had befallen all of them. Everything was about to be over.
She wanted to discuss this with her father after leaving the villa. The best thing to do was to send Ji Linghui away as far as possible and prevent her from returning to the imperial capital.
However, upon further thought, if anything happened to Princess Ji’er, His Majesty and Lu Liangwei would never let this go easily. Even if both her father and she decided to send Ji Linghui far away, it would be useless and it might backfire on them.
Ji Lingxiu’s eyes dimmed as she gave this thorough consideration.
The only thing to do now was to sacrifice Ji Linghui alone.
Ji Linghui was the one who caused this trouble. Why should the entire family be dragged down along with her?
She clenched her teeth and made the decision to head to the Grand Duke Mansion.
Ji Lingxiu was clear that she was not in a position to see Lu Liangwei.
Grand Duke Mansion.
Chu Jiu was accompanying the Dowager Duchess and chatting with her when the servants informed her that Ji Lingxiu wanted to see her.
Chu Jiu was surprised and turned to look at Lu Tingchen.
Lu Tingchen frowned. “What do you mean by looking at me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChu Jiu coughed gently. “Nothing. I’m just curious about why she would want to see me.”
“Mother, isn’t Third Miss Ji the youngest daughter of Duke Ji? What does she want with you?” Lu Xue asked curiously.
Even though she rarely left the house, both families lived nearby and she had seen Ji Lingxiu a couple of times before.
Chu Jiu shook her head. “I have no idea either.” She paused and looked at Lu Tingchen’s handsome face, which was still able to attract unwanted attention, and continued casually, “You might have to ask your father this question instead.”
Lu Xue looked at Lu Tingchen. “Father, do you know Third Miss Ji very well?”
Lu Tingchen met Chu Jiu’s unhappy gaze and quickly denied this. “I don’t. I don’t even remember what she looks like, how could I know her well?”
Lu Hetian put his cup of tea down when he saw this and gave his son a slightly condescending look. Only his son, Lu Tingchen, would be so useless as to be so afraid of his wife!
Lu Tingchen sensed his father’s vaguely concealed condescending look and sniggered silently. He was pretty confident to do so when he must have forgotten how much he was afraid of his wife too.
Ling Lihua glared at father and son when she saw them staring down at each other and turned to Chu Jiu. “Do you need me to accompany you to see her, Jiu?”
Ji Lingxiu had chased after Lu Tingchen all the way to the frontier all those years ago. Now that she was suddenly asking for Chu Jiu, could she still be hung up on Lu Tingchen?
It has been more than a decade.
Chu Jiu shook her head and stood up. “It’s fine. You should accompany Grandmother longer, Mother. I’ll see her on my own.”
