Riding the Pheonix Chapter 146: Causing trouble
The Ming family was originally worried that Ji Ling would cause a scene.
The fourth master was even prepared for how to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Ji Lingan attended the funeral of the Sixth Master quietly and said nothing.
Everyone in the Ming family could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Think about it, the Ji family is no longer the Ji family of fifty years ago. With a declining population and no aspirations, how can they have the confidence to cause trouble?
Besides, the Sixth Master is dead and the explanations that should be given have been given. What else can the Ji family ask for?
However, when the funeral team came back, they found that they had been relieved too early...
The Ming family is not prosperous in Dongning. In addition to Prime Minister Ming's side, there are two or three others. Because we are far apart by blood, we don’t have much contact with each other on weekdays.
At present, all the masters of the Ming family are dead, and those who are caught are caught. Those who can take charge of the matter, except the fourth master, can barely add Ming Sheng. There were too few people, so we had to invite relatives from nearby clans to support the scene.
So, after taking care of the funeral of the Sixth Master and sending away the guests, the clan members who came to help were about to leave when Ji Ling came out.
"Elders, please stay for now."
An old man came from another branch of the Ming family, ranking second.
This second prince is a book lover. He had seen Ji Ling's clean appearance, polite manners, and good looks, so he liked him very much. Hearing his voice at this time, he smiled and said: "Eldest brother of the Ji family, what else can you do?"
The fourth master's heart thumped, and he immediately felt something was wrong.
Then I heard Ji Ling say: "This junior has something very difficult. Because the matter involves the elders, any slight misconduct will inevitably damage the reputation of the elders. After much thought, I have to ask the Second Master to be a witness. ”
The Second Master immediately thought of Mrs. Ming San’s matter, straightened his face immediately, and said, “Are you talking about your aunt’s matter? This matter is indeed something that our Ming family is sorry for you. However, you have also seen that the sixth one The **** has already lost his life. Death is like a lamp going out. Even if it is a big deal, it should be over here."
How can I say that with the same surname as Ming, can he still help others to discredit himself?
Ji Ling said, "The Second Master has misunderstood. This is not what this junior wants to say."
The Second Master and others were startled when they heard this.
If it wasn’t this, what else could it be?
Ji Ling continued: "This junior is indeed very angry about my aunt, but as the Second Master said, all grudges disappear after death, and the Sixth Master is gone, what else can be pursued?"
The second master nodded and asked tentatively: "Then what you want to say is..."
"What this junior is talking about is about my cousin!" Ji Ling looked upright.
The second master is confused. His cousin, Xiao Qi from the third family’s family? What can happen?
The fourth master was also confused. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Are you talking about Xiaoqi's marriage? You have already agreed on this matter. As elders, we will not be troublesome, so don't worry."
It would be nice if it wasn't that, he thought. The Ming family is already in chaos and going crazy. If Ji Ling makes trouble again, he doesn't know how it will end.
But Ji Ling still shook his head.
The second master thought to himself, what big thing can a little girl do? Immediately he said boldly: "Eldest brother of the Ji family, if you have anything to say, just say it! If they do something wrong, the second master will definitely seek justice for you!"
Hearing these words, Ji Ling burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much, Second Master! In this case, I have the guts to say it!"
He turned around and asked the fourth master: "Fourth uncle of the Ming family, in the past few days since I've been here, I've heard people gossiping about my cousin several times, saying how she was doing with that Young Master Yang. It's so unbearable that I dare to ask about this. Is it true or false?"
The fourth master did not expect that he would ask this matter.
A woman's reputation is important, and Mingwei is engaged to his family. Speaking of this, the Ji family will also be embarrassed. Even if Ji Ling heard something, he should quietly ask Mingwei.
But he asked me face to face and had to answer.
The fourth master said vaguely: "Xiao Qi does know Mr. Yang, but the reasons are complicated and others may have misunderstandings. If you want to know the inside story, you can ask her and ask her to tell you herself. ”
Ji Ling's face turned cold: "The fourth uncle of the Ming family is so clean!"
The fourth master was stunned by his drink, and then heard Ji Ling say sternly: "I just heard about this, and I thought it was someone else's gossip, but after asking a few more questions, I realized that it's not that simple. I heard that Mr. Yang, when he met his cousin by chance, handed the post to his house and invited his cousin to leave the house, is that right?"
He was talking about the time when Yang Shu invited Mingwei to meet him at a restaurant.
At that time, Mrs. Mingsan's funeral had just passed, and they thought Mingwei had climbed onto Yang Shu. Feeling guilty, they didn't dare to stop him when he came to invite her, so they just let her go.
It's over now. I didn't expect Ji Ling to come out and talk about it.
"Brother Ji family, there is an inside story on this matter..."
"What's the secret?"
Faced with Ji Ling's problem, the fourth master was stuck.
How to say this? They said they sent Mrs. Mingsan to serve Mr. Yang, but Mingwei went on her behalf and Mr. Yang took a fancy to her? Then Ji Ling didn't make a big fuss. This is a huge family scandal and must not be talked about!
The fourth master thought about it and could only say: "We also know that this is inappropriate, but Xiaoqi knows him and always looks for opportunities to meet..."
Ji Ling shouted: "Uncle Ming's words are so irrational! My cousin is a young lady from a high family~IndoMTL.com~ who is raised in a boudoir, with uncles at the top and a group of servants and women below. If you control her, how can you control her? Is there an opportunity to meet her husband? Besides, she lost her father when she was young and was sick, so she is no better than ordinary people. You uncles don't discipline her well and let her do whatever she wants? She is still a child. If you don't care about her, what's the use of elders? ?"
He spoke so righteously that the Fourth Master was stunned.
It is indeed unreasonable to say this, but others will not say it!
Ji Ling continued: "The Ming family is also a famous family. Don't you know that this is inappropriate? Since you knew it was wrong and still let her go, I can only think that you did it on purpose! Then I will ask, What do you want to do with my cousin? Do you want to call her an innocent official lady and betray her lust?"
The more he spoke, the more harsh and stern he became, but he was always reasonable. Not only the fourth master was rendered speechless by him, but even the second master could not find anything to say.
They had been on guard against Ji Ling before, fearing that he would cause trouble with the death of Mrs. Mingsan. Who knew he would go out of his way to find out this matter?
Ji Ling slowed down for a moment, and then revealed his sorrow: "My aunt's life was miserable. She lost her husband when she was young. She worked hard to raise her cousin, and then something scandalous like that happened again. She was hanged for the sake of fame. My cousin has no father. Motherless, for people to treat each other like this makes people doubt the family tradition of the Ming family..."
"Eldest brother of the Ji family!" the second Taiye said hurriedly, "It is true that they did something wrong, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Ling had already grabbed his hand excitedly: "Second Master, I know that you are fair. To be honest, I have been worried these past few days, tossing and turning, thinking about my cousin's situation. , I can’t even sleep. It’s just that the Ming family is mourning, and for the sake of your dignity, you dare not say it..."
