1722 She Brought It Upon Herself

No matter how well she did something, she would never earn her fathers approval. In his eyes, all she did was create trouble.

However, any trouble she caused was just minor things that did not have major repercussions. What her older sister did, however, was serious enough to cause the downfall of the entire Ji Family.

Why did her father not understand this?

Just as she was about to leave, Ji Xius wife, Madam Guo, quickly came forward and held her back. She said softly, Dont do anything rash, Xiuxiu. Father is just too heartbroken and spoke without thinking. How can you break the bond between father and daughter so easily? Besides Linghui is gone now. If you leave and never return, Father would be even more heartbroken.

She actually agreed with what Ji Lingxiu did. She had known early on that Ji Linghui was a troublemaker who would end up destroying their family eventually.

When Ji Linghui was staying at home, she would listen as Ji Linghui spat terrible things and cursed at Her Highness. This frightened her tremendously; she was worried Ji Linghuis words would end up reaching His Majestys ears. Their family might get implicated.

Ji Linghui had gotten into plenty of arguments with Ji Xiu over this but unfortunately, her father-in-law had always been protective of Ji Linghui. There was nothing Madam Guo could doshe could only try to stay away and avoid listening to or seeing Ji Linghui.

It was only after she had given birth that her father-in-law finally had enough sense in him to send Ji Linghui away.

However, she never thought that Ji Linghui would continue to create trouble even after being sent away to the villa. It was only a few days ago when Butler Zhao came with some men to take care of Ji Linghui quietly. She ended up dead without a trace of her body remaining, and no one from the Ji Family was allowed to take her body back.

They had no idea what terrible crime had Ji Linghui done.

It was only after investigating through the villas servants that they found out Lingxiu had been to the villa. Not long after she left, Butler Zhao came knocking at the villas door with his men.

When her father-in-law found out about this, he blamed Ji Lingxiu for everything.

Ji Lingxiu did not deny it either.

It seemed that Ji Linghuis death had something to do with Lingxiu.

However, it also meant that their family was now safe because Ji Linghui was dead.

She was quietly relieved over this.

When Ji Lingxiu met her sister-in-laws judgemental look, she said wearily, Sis-in-law, its not what you think. This time, it wasnt a minor situation of Ji Linghui simply cursing at Her Highness. If I hadnt reported her immediately, it would have been the end of both our families.

Madam Guo was startled. What exactly did she do?

Stop asking, Sis-in-law. All you need to know is that if His Majesty and Her Highness began investigating deeper and found out it was Big Siss doing, none of us would have come out of this safely. Its serious enough to for a nine kins.h.i.+p extermination. Ji Lingxiu added miserably, I didnt want to do this, but Big Sis just wasnt being reasonable. She was too selfish and never spared a thought for any of us. All she cares about was getting her revenge and nothing else. Its just as well that shes dead now. She has been released from her misery and she can never hurt anyone again.

Ji Qingyuan trembled with anger. He pointed at her nose and shouted, Your sister has always treated you so well, how can you be so cruel as to cause her death? What terrible sin has she done to deserve this? You should explain yourself.

Ji Lingxiu started crying as she said, I cant tell you what it was, Father, or it will only spell trouble for our family. All I know is that His Majesty isnt in the Palace right now, but when he returns and finds out about what happened, he might still punish our family. You have to be mentally prepared for it.

Ji Qingyuans heart sank when he heard this. Youre lying. Linghui cant even walk. What could she have done?

At the end of the day, its your fault, Father. Didnt the Palace relieve a batch of palace maids a few years ago? You privately hired a palace maid to serve Big Sis. You know very well there are certain secrets within the Palace that we arent allowed to learn about, but Big Sis didnt care. Not only had she dug out a Palace secret, but she also revealed it to someone else. Arent her actions going to destroy all of us? Even though she wasnt able to walk for years, when has she ever stopped wanting revenge? Whatever happened to her was brought upon by herself.
