The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 35: Aunt Xu Has a Ghost In Her Heart
In terms of status, the Marquis’s Mansion was much higher than the Mu’s Mansion. According to convention, they had to meet and greet each other, but Madam Ji was kind-hearted and thought that they were all family, so she forgot to do so.
But things will be different from now on. Not only will she have to be tough, but she will also have to find out the cause of her mother’s death.
“Aren’t you showing your courtesy when you meet me?” Aunt Xu and her daughter-in-law Gao walked over slowly, dressed in expensive and gorgeous clothes.
Hearing this, a sharp look flashed across her wrinkled brows.
“Ah Yao, you are so impressive. According to seniority, you should call me mother.”
Madam Ji sneered, “How dare a mere concubine call herself mother in front of me? As long as I don’t acknowledge you, you will be just a concubine who is not worthy of being on the stage.”
[Ahhh, mother is so majestic, mother is my god, yyds. ]
Mrs. Ji didn’t understand what yyds meant, but she could tell that her precious daughter was praising her. In the past, for the sake of family harmony, she had always been tolerant, but in return she was still ridiculed and neglected by Aunt Xu.
Now she understood that Aunt Xu was an ungrateful person who had deceived the entire Mu family.
“Didn’t eldest sister say before that family members don’t need to greet each other politely? It seems too distant.” The speaker was Gao, the daughter-in-law of Aunt Xu. She was also holding a baby in her arms, who looked older than Ji Hua.
“When I speak, you have no right to interrupt.”
Gao was yelled at by Mrs. Ji and looked outrageous.
Aunt Xu couldn’t bear to see her daughter-in-law being wronged, so she said harshly: “This is the Mu Mansion, not your Ji Mansion. If the Madam Marquis wants to show off, please go back!”
I really didn’t expect that after becoming the Marquis’s wife, she would be so incompetent. In the past, I knew that she was well-educated and kind, so I didn’t embarrass her too much. But now, she simply doesn’t take her mother seriously.
Madam Ji raised her eyebrows and sat down on a chair beside her calmly. She said, “I think Aunt Xu has forgotten my name. I can remind her. My surname is Mu and Yao. Aunt Xu, please listen carefully.”
The calmer Madam Ji acted, the angrier Aunt Xu became.
[That’s right, a mere concubine wants to drive my mother away. You are not worthy. ]
Ji Hua happily waved her chubby hands, trying to give Madam Ji a thumbs up. Unexpectedly, she just clenched her fist, with only a little bit of her thumb sticking out.
[Wow, I’ve become this fat? No, no, I have to eat less.]
After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Ji didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Xiuhe felt extremely happy when she saw Aunt Xu, who always showed off her power, blushing and turning pale because of Madam Ji’s criticism.
Madam, you should have done this a long time ago. If you don’t stand up, the Mu family will have to change their surname to Xu. The old master doesn’t manage the affairs well, so sooner or later the family will have to change their surname to Xu.
“Ah Yao is here.” At the door, the approachable Imperial Physician Mu walked into the lobby holding an exquisite wooden box.
Madam Ji quickly stood up to greet him: “Dad, this is Hua’er. Dad hasn’t met her yet.” Madam Ji held Ji Hua closer to make it easier for Imperial Physician Mu to look at her.
[Oh my, is this old man with silver hair on his temples my grandfather? He is now over 50 years old, but his face is ruddy and his body is strong, just like a young man. It can be seen that he was even more handsome when he was young.]
Mrs. Ji was sincerely delighted to hear her precious daughter’s praise for her father.
Since she was his daughter’s little girl, Imperial Physician Mu naturally took a closer look. He and his first wife only had one child, Mu Yao, so he naturally paid more attention to her.
Perhaps this was what caused the rift between Aunt Xu and Mu Yao, so from then on, he hid his love for Mu Yao.
Today was Ji Hua’s first visit to the Mu Mansion, and Imperial Physician Mu brought over the gift that he had prepared earlier. “This is a gift for Hua’er, please keep it for her!”
Ji Hua was very happy because there was a little rabbit made of pure gold inside, and her zodiac sign was rabbit.
Ji Hua in the book had been successfully switched at birth, so the rabbit was given to the little girl of the Qin family who was switched.
All of this was hers, hehe.
When Aunt Xu saw the gift, she could not hide the anger in her eyes.
She had been asking for it for a long time, but Imperial Physician Mu just didn’t agree to give it to Xiao Yu. Now he had given it to Ji Hua as soon as she arrived, how could she not hate it.
After all, her son didn’t mean as much to Imperial Physician Mu as Mu Yao did.
Madam Ji saw the resentment in Aunt Xu’s eyes and became more cautious.
After exchanging pleasantries, Mrs. Ji told the purpose of her visit: “Dad, I want to go back to Jizhou to worship my ancestors, and I came here to ask if you would go with me.”
“Dad hasn’t been back for many years. Okay, let’s go together!” After hearing this, Mrs. Ji was happy. In this way, the epidemic matter would only go more smoothly.
If she came forward to cure the epidemic, it might be unacceptable to the public. Imperial Physician Mu was different. He was the head of the Imperial Hospital, so curing the epidemic was a natural thing for him.
“Okay, Dad. I’ll arrange it right away.” Then she thought of something and said to Aunt Xu, “Aunt Xu, you can go too. After all, Mu Cheng is listed in the family tree.” Mu Cheng is Aunt Xu’s son.
“I, I won’t go.” There was a gleam of light in Aunt Xu’s eyes, which was caught by Ji Hua.
[She doesn’t want to go. Didn’t she run to the Qin family to report the news as soon as we left? ]
After hearing this, Madam Ji wanted to take Aunt Xu away even more.
“Dad, I feel that as the mistress of the Mu family, Aunt Xu cannot be justified if she does not go.”
Aunt Xu looked incredulous. Just now she said she didn’t acknowledge her identity, and now she said she was the mistress of the Mu family?
Why did she feel that Mrs. Ji had bad intentions?
“That makes sense. You should go with us, and let Cheng’er and Yu’er go as well. As descendants of the Mu family, it is not reasonable for us not worship our ancestors.”
Aunt Xu wanted to use the excuse that Yu’er was still young to get away with it, but the next second she heard Madam Ji’s words: “Hua’er is going to Jizhou with me, aren’t you happy?”
[Happy, of course I am happy. ]
Ji Hua kept blowing bubbles out of her mouth. She was happy, but some people were not.
“Yes.” Aunt Xu glared at Madam Ji fiercely and turned to pack up. Gao followed her and left.
“Dad, I’ll go back and pack now. We’ll set off tomorrow.”
“Okay, go ahead. Don’t bring too many things, we can just travel light.” Imperial Physician Mu advised.
“Okay, Dad. I understand.”
After getting on the carriage, Madam Ji’s face suddenly darkened and she said to Xiuhe, “Aunt Xiuhe, I suspect Aunt Xu has something to hide. Go to the backyard and take a look.”
Ji Hua’s face was full of surprise.
[Mother, do you suspect Aunt Xu? That’s great, mother. She is definitely up to something. She might spread the news that we are going back to Jizhou soon. I just don’t know if there will be any trouble on the way to Jizhou.]
In the original novel, the Ji family did not return to Jizhou, so she could not say whether there would be trouble along the way. But one must be on guard against others! It would be good to bring Aunt Xu with her. If there was trouble, it would not be impossible to get rid of her in the chaos.
“Yes, madam.” Xiuhe hurried away. Madam Ji ordered the coachman to drive the carriage into the alley and wait for Xiuhe.
After waiting for about an hour, Xiuhe came back panting and said, “Madam, I saw the old nanny next to Aunt Xu sneaking to the back door of the Qin Mansion.”
[Yeah, that old woman really passed the news to the Qin family, and the Qin family passed the news to the Third prince. Will the Third prince take action against the Ji family? The Third prince thought that the Ji family was on his side, but on New Year’s Eve, Dad rescued the Crown prince, and the Third prince couldn’t have been unaware of this. It is very likely that he is now beginning to doubt the intentions of the Ji family. ]
Mrs. Ji also thought of this and became very anxious.
If they didn’t go, what would happen to the people of Jizhou? If they went, there would be many dangers along the way. It would not be a good idea to leave Ji Hua in Shengjing, as there was an An Yan who was watching closely in the dark. What should she do?
One thing she knew very well was that Aunt Xu must die on the road without anyone noticing.
Huguo Temple.
The Third Prince’s face was full of cruelty at this time. Just now, his people found out that the people who smashed the Ji family jewelry store on New Year’s Eve were indeed enemies of the Mu family. In order to avenge Uncle Fu, Imperial Physician Mu must die.
The Ji family was still useful to him at the moment, so he won’t move.
“My lord, Master Cifeng invites you.” Lone Wolf said respectfully.
“Help me over there.”
Lone wolf helped the sick Third prince up and walked out of the room to Master Cifeng’s meditation room.
When he was free, the Third Prince would stay in the Huguo Temple most of the time, under the pretext of praying for Emperor Yu. Emperor Yu would also think highly of him.
If something happens, no one will blame him.
On the way, Lone Wolf’s voice sounded again: “Dark Eagle said that An Yan betrayed the organization.”
The Third prince raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
He really didn’t understand why An Yan stole the little girl from the Ji family that day.
