"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 33

 As for this mother by name, Ji Ming Yang wasn't very close with her, he always felt madam Feng had beaten down his mother and felt indignant about it.

Ji Bai Chuan's expression darkened, when he thought about how Ji Ling Xue was clever, sensible and full of joy when she was young, yet now she was a detested fool, it gave him a headache, he had married Ji Yu Qing into the prince's residence, so of course he meant to abandon Ji Ling Xue.

However Ji Ling Xue's maternal family was very powerful, her maternal aunt the current empress dowager, before the empress dowager had entered the palace she had become sworn sisters with her mother, and she had a grandfather who was a senior official for 3 reigns, even if these people temporarily forgot Ji Ling Xue's existence, if they remembered her one day, if he didn't take care of this properly disaster would befall him.

Ji Bai Chuan said: "Let's first take a look."

Before he could take more than two steps he came across a messy haired, ruined makeup madam Feng.

Ji Ming Yang's lips twitched, pointing at madam Feng with an exasperated expression, "Who is this woman, where did this lunatic come from?"

Ji Bai Chuan coughed saying: "That's your mother, don't make a fuss like you're uncultured."

Ji Ming Yang pulled back his hand, scratching his head he mumbled lowly to himself: "Mother is usually dignified, I thought I saw wrongly."

Three black lines appeared on Ji Bai Chuan's forehead and felt embarrassed, fortunately there were no guests in the residence today.

Madam Feng stumbled her way to Ji Bai Chuan, pulling on his arm she wept: "Master, master, this can't continue, I've been wronged, you have to seek justice for me...boohoo, I kindly went to visit that girl Xue Er, after all prince Chen doesn't want her, she's used to a life of luxury in the prince's residence, there must be a lot of things she's not used to here, I didn't think she would go crazy and throw water over me as soon as I entered, master, I don't think Xue Er is compatible with me, and she's now been abandoned by prince Chen, her temper is even more demanding and stubborn than before, you should just send her out of the residence."

The first part of this had been completely twisted to get sympathy, the last part was madam Feng's true aim, to chase the abandoned Ji Ling Xue out of the residence and be left to her own device.

Ji Bai Chuan lowered his head to look at madam Feng with her ruined makeup and pale face in his arms, patting her shoulder he comforted her, "It isn't like you don't know that girl Xue Er's mind isn't right, why argue with a child?"

Madam Feng raised her head revealing a pair of watery eyes as she gazed at Ji Bai Chuan, "Master, you don't love me, just now, that girl Xue Er wanted to hit me in the head with a teapot, if I hadn't escaped, my head would have been broken...." Having spoken she once again bawled.

Ji Bai Chuan loved madam Feng the most, seeing her tear-stained beautiful face, the scales in his heart immediately tipped to one side, he instantly said he was going to seek justice for madam Feng, ordering people to take Ji Ling Xue and Mo Xiang to kneel in the ancestral hall, with no food for a day.

Naturally Ji Bai Chuan took into consideration Ji Ling Xue's maternal family's power, he didn't dare to take things too far.

In the ancestral hall, Ji Ling Xue and Mo Xiang found a corner to play chess to pass the time.

Mo Xiang placed her chess piece grumbling: "Master really is biased towards madam Feng, he didn't listen to us and directly punished us."

Ji Ling Xue was fiddling with a strand of long hair in front of her chest saying: "Compared with madam Feng's callousness, my father still takes care of me, at least he didn't chase me out, only for me to kneel in the ancestral hall for one day."

Mo Xiang took out a pastry from her bosom giving it to Ji Ling Xue, "Mistress, eat some to fill your stomach a little."

Ji Ling Xue split the pastry in two handing one bit to Mo Xiang: "Eat, don't starve yourself, then no one will serve me."

Mo Xiang was moved, she really had met a great mistress, "Thank you mistress.."

Ji Ling Xue smiled, "Don't worry, we won't starve for a day, in a moment we can leave."
