Chapter 408 The Palace is Poor
Before Chen Huaxiu could react, Ji Yuntang handed the copper basin to her. She subconsciously tried to push it away, but Ji Yuntang loosened his grip and all the red liquid in the basin poured onto her.
"Ah, what did you pour on me?"
Ji Yuntang looked embarrassed and said, "Foster mother, I'm sorry, I thought you would catch this basin of blood."
Chen Huaxiu was shocked. "What! Blood? Whose blood?"
"Our prince vomits a lot of blood every morning, noon and night. I have to stay by his side to catch it, otherwise he will vomit everywhere. I'm used to it!"
Chen Huaxiu just felt nauseous in his heart. He vomited blood every day. Is he still a human being?
The point is, the blood was all over her, and she felt like vomiting just thinking about it.
Thinking of this, she really squatted aside and vomited. Ji Yuntang asked her with pretended concern.
"Adoptive mother, are you okay?"
Chen Huaxiu vomited even more violently. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and looked at the woman in front of her.
"Who are you? Why do you call me foster mother? Where is Ji Yuntang?"
Ji Yuntang pursed his lips slightly, "I am Ji Yuntang, doesn't your adoptive mother recognize me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Shijie immediately retorted: "Impossible, Ji Yuntang is obviously an ugly girl, how could you be Ji Yuntang?"
Ji Yuntang was a little anxious, and she explained: "I am really Ji Yuntang, why don't you believe it?"
"Because I had to take care of our prince, I taught myself some medical skills and cured the red spots on my face. Otherwise, how could His Highness the Night King be interested in me?"
Chen Huaxiu: "..."
When she thought about it, it seemed to be the case.
Ji Yuntang is of low status and ugly, and has no advantages at all. Why can she marry and become a princess?
But if she healed her face, it would be different indeed!
Chen Huaxiu looked at her with some disdain, "Now that you have healed your face, you look like a human being. At least you won't easily scare our Yang brother!"
Ji Yuntang smiled slightly, "Adoptive mother's breath is still as bad as your athlete's foot. I remember that you had a very bad athlete's foot before. I wonder if it has healed?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Huaxiu's face changed instantly, as black as the bottom of a pot.
Ji Yuntang's eyes were clear, and he quickly covered his mouth, "Ah, did I say something wrong?"
"Adoptive mother, you know that you don't have money to support my education, and I am not very good at speaking. You won't argue with me, right?"
Chen Huaxiu: "..."
Just as she was about to blame Ji Yuntang, her words were stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.
Is this money-loser blaming them for not wanting to support her studies?
Her two sons can’t afford to go to school, so how can she deserve to go to school?
What a dream!
At this moment, Wu Chaoyang rubbed his stomach and muttered in a hoarse voice: "Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat."
Ji Yuntang turned his eyes to him and smiled slightly, "Third brother, you must be hungry. I will find someone to serve you some food. You can go sit in the front hall for a while."
Several people came to the front hall, and saw a wooden table with peeling paint and a few wobbly and broken stools placed in the middle of the hall.
Even the teapot on the table had a gap in it.
After pouring the tea into the cup, Wu Jinxi couldn't drink it because there was a lot of black scale lurking in it.
He said coldly: "How did she become the Princess of Night? How could she be so poor?"
Chen Huaxiu said disdainfully: "She was originally married in place of Yueyue. She is just a fake princess. How noble can she be?"
After a while, the cook brought over the prepared dishes.
It looks like there are seven dishes and one soup, but at first glance it's all green.
Wu Chaoyang used chopsticks to search every plate, but couldn't find any meat, so he immediately threw away the chopsticks.
"Mom, I want to eat meat. I want to eat meat."
At this time, Taozhi brought over five bowls of "rice" and placed them in front of everyone one by one.
Wu Shijie was shocked after seeing this, "Isn't this just dirt? Do you people in the Night Palace eat dirt every day?"
He had never seen anyone's rice be black.
Taozhi rolled her eyes. "We in the Ye Palace are not like other palaces. We are so poor that we can barely afford to eat. Today, the princess spent one or two taels of silver to buy this dish for you. It's good enough to have something to eat, but you are still picky."
Chen Huaxiu didn't expect the maid in the Night Palace to be so arrogant. She said angrily: "How dare you, a maid, talk to me like this?"
Just at this moment, Ji Yuntang walked in, "What happened?"
"But our foster parents are not satisfied with our meals?"
Chen Huaxiu pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "Ji Yuntang, take a look at this for yourself. Is this food for human consumption?"
"Yang Ge'er is still growing, how can you only let us eat vegetables without meat?"
Ji Yuntang sighed helplessly, "Alas, foster mother doesn't know that the people in our Yewang Mansion eat like this every day."
"It actually tastes pretty good, you'll know when you try it!"
After she finished speaking, she picked up the bowl in front of her and took a mouthful of rice.
Seeing how relishing the food she was eating, Wu Jinxi also picked up the bowl and took a bite, but the food instantly got stuck in his throat.
His face turned red from holding it in, and he spat out a mouthful of dirt.
Chen Huaxiu pointed at Ji Yuntang's nose and cursed: "Ji Yuntang, isn't it just eating your rice? Do you want to kill your father?"
Ji Yuntang put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at her indifferently.
"If I can eat it, why can't you? If you can't eat it, you should look for the reason in yourself instead of blaming others."
Outside the door, Taozhi and Wang Sheng huddled together, looking at the people whose faces were red from being choked by dirt with a gloating look, and laughed mercilessly.
"Serves you right! How dare you show off in front of our princess? I'll choke them to death!"
"But, I have to say, the chocolate rice in the princess's bowl is quite delicious. The color is exactly the same as the soil on the ground. Let's see if they dare to stay in the Night King's Mansion?"
Wang Sheng said gently: "I don't think these people can be driven away so easily."
As early as last night, Ji Yuntang had asked them to collect all of Princess Ye's valuables and put them in the warehouse, leaving only a few broken tables and chairs outside.
Not only that, she also transplanted all the valuable plants in the front yard.
The entire Night Palace went from being magnificent to being impoverished overnight.
Ji Yuntang had clearly said that these people were not clean and when they came to Prince Ye's Mansion, they might think of themselves as the masters and order the servants around.
Ji Qingqing dumped the Wu family on her because she wanted them to come to the Night Palace to enjoy themselves and not cause trouble for herself.
How could Ji Yuntang let her get her wish?
Not only did she want revenge, she also wanted the four members of the Wu family to willingly return to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion and stay by Ji Qingqing's side.
