1698 Crossed The Line For Lu Liangwei

Most of Ji Lingxius unhappiness dissipated at the sight of her older sister acting this way.

She decided to let it be as it had not been easy for her sister. What was the point of being angry at her sister when Ji Linghui was in such a predicament?

Im fine, Big Sis. Theres no need to worry, Ji Lingxiu said resignedly.

But youre bleeding. Ji Linghui looked worriedly at the wound on Ji Lingxius forehead.

Since her sister-in-law had given birth, her father had been busy taking care of this beloved grandchild for the last few years and had paid less attention to her. Her younger brother had never understood her and they had drifted apart in the last few years, which was why he never visited.

Only her younger sister, Lingxiu, would reply to her letters no matter how busy she was, and was even willing to drop by for a visit.

If even Lingxiu stopped visiting her, Ji Linghui would go crazy.

Ji Linghui regretted her action tremendously when she saw the blood on Ji Lingxius forehead.

Its fine. Its just a minor wound. Itll heal pretty soon. Ji Lingxius heart softened when she saw the regret on Ji Linghuis face. By the way, Big Sis, why did you ask me to visit you today?

The mention of this brightened up the dim look in Ji Linghuis eyes. She held Ji Lingxius hand. Im so happy, Xiuxiu.

What happened? Ji Lingxiu forgot about the wound on her head when she heard this as she was curious.

Ji Linghui did not explain immediately but said instead, Do you remember the batch of palace maids the Palace had relieved two years ago?

I do. Ji Lingxiu nodded. Her father had wanted to cheer her sister up and thought she might be happier with a palace maid taking care of her as she had lived in the Palace for a few years. So, he did everything he could to hire a palace maid for her.

Ji Lingxiu was aware of this.

During that time, her sister kept the palace maid close by her side.

However, the palace maid seemed to be missing recently.

At this thought, Ji Lingxiu looked around and asked, By the way, why havent I seen Yuxia?

She helped me with something really important, so I gave her a load of silver and let her return to her hometown, Ji Linghui said happily.

Something about her smile made Ji Lingxiu shudder.

Her sister had always been temperamental, she might be smiling now, but she might blow up in a huge temper the next minute.

Oh, what did she help you with? Ji Lingxiu asked.

At the mention of this, Ji Linghui said with slight agitation, Come closer to me and Ill whisper it to you.

Ji Lingxiu suddenly did not feel like knowing what it was when she saw how excited Ji Linghui was.

What in this world could make her sister so happy?

Ji Lingxiu felt a little unsettled.

However, Ji Linghui began to spurt it out with excitement before Ji Lingxiu even got close.

Yuxia told me that Long Jier was almost flung to death by the Emperor when she was born because Lu Liangwei almost died during labor after giving birth to Long Jier. Tsk tsk. Even a vicious tiger would not harm its child. The Emperor had crossed the line for Lu Liangwei. What would Long Jier do if she found out the truth? A child who was hated the moment she was born and almost flung to her death.

Ji Lingxiu was astounded. It was the first time she had heard of this Palace scandal, she felt shocked and was not able to say anything.

It took her quite a while to pull herself together. She kept having the feeling that something was wrong when she saw how happy her sister was.

There was no need for her to be so overjoyed about this no matter how much she hated Lu Liangwei, unless

A chill filled her heart as she grabbed Ji Linghuis hand and asked anxiously, What did you do, Big Sis?

Ji Linghui was unperturbed as she said, I went for a walk a while back and b.u.mped into a woman from Southern Xinjiang. She was asking around about Chu Qi. So, I took the opportunity to share this scandal with her.
