Chapter 582 Falling into the Quagmire
Before, when the assassination attempt on Prince Ye's Mansion was leaked, Luo Jingshen suspected that there was a traitor among him, but he did not conduct an in-depth investigation.
Now, with the loss of the military token and her sudden departure, he felt that Xuehua might be the traitor.
Luo Jingshen's eyes were filled with growing anger. His expression was stern and he kicked over the table next to him in anger.
Porcelain, calligraphy and paintings fell to the ground with a clang, but it could not dissipate even a thousandth of the anger in his heart.
Luo Jingshen never dreamed that he would fall in love with a woman so much for the first time, and wanted to have children with her and grow old together, but in the end he would be completely deceived by her.
He now doubted very much whether he had slept with Xuehua at night.
Because, apart from the back pain he felt when he woke up every morning, Luo Jingshen had no memory of this matter.
He couldn't remember even the slightest detail.
All the words came from Xuehua's mouth, and he only had feelings for Xuehua.
Even if other women took off their clothes and stood in front of him, he would not be interested in them at all.
Luo Jingshen used to think that he had met true love, but now the more he thinks about it, the more he feels something is wrong.
There are many things that simply cannot stand up to scrutiny, because once you scrutinize them you'll find they're full of loopholes.
He really wanted to find Xuehua and ask her about the matter in person, but there was no news from her at all.
Luo Jingshen was a little annoyed. The military token was such an important thing, and Emperor Jingyang had spent a lot of money to give it to him.
If the other party knew that he had lost his military token, he would not be able to explain it even if he had ten mouths, and Emperor Jingyang would only think he was incompetent.
He silently recited Xuehua's name in his mind, and suddenly for some reason, the name Hua Feixue came out of his mouth.
Luo Jingshen was startled. After he came to his senses, he remembered that he had heard this name from Ji Qingqing before.
At that time, she pointed at Xuehua and said firmly that the other person was Hua Feixue.
Not only that, Ji Qingqing also said that Xuehua had lied to him and that she was the woman Ji Qingfeng brought back.
When Luo Jingshen thought about this, he felt that he had to go to the cell in person and find out the truth about this matter.
What if what Ji Qingqing said was true?
If he really knew Hua Feixue, then his chances of finding her would be greater, and maybe he could get the military token back.
When Luo Jingshen had this idea, he immediately took a carriage to the yamen.
At that time, a scene that no one could have imagined was happening in Ji Qingqing's cell.
She sent someone to pass a message to Ji Qingfeng, asking Ji Qingfeng to come and see her, but she didn't expect that Ji Qingfeng would not come until half a month later.
Just like he did in the Marquis' Mansion, he brought a food box to see Ji Qingqing, which was filled with all the food that Ji Qingqing liked.
The guard opened the cell door and pointed at the woman in the haystack, saying, "The prisoner, Miss Ji, is right here. You only have a quarter of an hour to visit her, so hurry up."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingfeng quickly took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it in the hand of the yamen runner, "I understand, thank you."
This was the first time Ji Qingfeng came to see Ji Qingqing since she was imprisoned.
He couldn't believe his eyes.
There was a skinny woman huddled in the haystack. Her messy hair like weeds half covered her dirty face, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes. She was staring at Ji Qingfeng timidly and helplessly.
The original color of the prison uniform on the woman could no longer be seen, and when you got closer, you could smell a foul odor coming from her body.
Ji Qingfeng frowned in disgust. He didn't expect that in just one month, his beautiful and blessed sister would become scarier than a beggar.
Ji Qingfeng really wanted to put down the lunch box and leave, but when he thought that the other person was his once most beloved sister, he suppressed the urge to vomit and stayed.
He walked closer, opened the food box, took out the dishes inside, and placed them one by one on a small table not far away.
Then he showed a very forced expression on his face, and said reluctantly: "Qingqing, second brother is here to see you."
"I asked the kitchen to make your favorite pork with preserved vegetables and lamb with broth. Come over and have some."
Ji Qingqing remained unmoved and just stared at him with her blood-red eyes.
Ji Qingfeng thought she was scared, so he moved closer.
"Qingqing, don't be afraid. Those bailiffs have all left. With my second brother here, they won't hurt you."
"Just listen to me and come over to eat something, okay?"
Ji Qingqing remained unmoved, her red eyes just staring at him.
Until Ji Qingfeng said: "Haven't you always wanted your second brother to come and see you? Why don't you pay attention to your second brother when I come?"
"I bribed the bailiffs outside to get in. I can only see you for a short while."
"If you don't pay attention to my second brother, he will leave."
After these words were spoken, Ji Qingqing's expression finally showed a hint of reaction.
She looked at Ji Qingfeng and her hoarse, crying voice rang out.
"Second brother, why did you come just now? Don't you want me anymore?"
"You said before that I was your favorite sister and that you would protect me forever. Why have my three brothers never come to see me after all this time since I was in trouble?"
"Do you all dislike me and are afraid of me?"
Ji Qingfeng's face was embarrassed for a moment, and he was a little afraid to look into Ji Qingqing's eyes.
Ever since Ji Qingqing's identity was exposed, the Yongning Marquis Mansion has become the target of everyone's attacks and abuses. Wherever they go, they are stared at and pointed at with strange and contemptuous eyes.
Sometimes they hid in their houses and didn't even dare to go out.
Even when going out, he has to go through the back door and wrap himself tightly, for fear of being recognized.
The same goes for Ji Qingfeng. He even closed his tea shop business for some time, just to wait until the crisis has passed before reopening it.
But unfortunately, the popularity of Ji Qingqing's incident has only increased.
It was because the person she offended was none other than the current crown prince.
Luo Jingshen was also a very vengeful person. Ji Qingqing deceived him by pretending to be an impostor, making him a laughing stock in the whole capital.
How could he let Ji Qingqing go so easily?
It was also for this reason that the three young masters of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion did not dare to come to see Ji Qingqing, for fear that Luo Jingshen would vent his anger on them.
And Yongning Marquis Ji Nanchuan did not allow them to visit Ji Qingqing.
In Ji Nanchuan's opinion, the fact that the prince ordered the abortion of the baby in her womb meant that Ji Qingqing was no longer of any use.
Since she can't help the Marquis' Mansion, why does she come to see her?
As much as Ji Nanchuan doted on Ji Qingqing before, he now hates her.
He felt that it was because of Ji Qingqing, this jinx, that the Yongning Marquis Mansion had become what it is today.
