1700 There Was No Such Thing As Not Being Allowed To Beat A Woman

“Alright.” Ling Lihua did not force it when she heard this.

Chu Jiu followed the servant and went to the front hall.

It was not too long before she returned looking quite pale.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Tingchen quickly went forward to hold her when he saw something wrong with the look on her face. The veins on his forehead throbbed as he said in a deep voice, “Did Ji Lingxiu bully you?”

Chu Jiu calmed down when she heard this and darted him a look. She had no doubt that if she answered ‘yes’, he would head out and give Ji Lingxiu a beating.

In his eyes, there was no such thing as not being allowed to beat a woman.

“What exactly happened?” Ling Lihua got up to ask as well.

Even the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess, who was about to doze off while seated, said anxiously when she saw this, “Jiu, don’t be afraid. I will be the first to take action against her if Ji Lingxiu bullied you.”

Lu Hetian looked at her with concern as well.

Chu Jiu felt her heart becoming full with a feeling of warmth.

However, she had no time right now to enjoy the moment. She quickly said, “Something happened to Ji’er.”

“What?” The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess knocked over the teapot in shock and asked anxiously, “What do you mean something happened to Ji’er? What could have happened to that girl?”

Of everyone present, only the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess and Chu Jiu knew what exactly had happened to Ji’er on the day she was born. As this involved His Majesty, both of them never mentioned this to Lu Hetian and the others before.

When Lu Liangwei was in labor, Lu Hetian, Ling Lihua, and Lu Tingchen were far away at the frontier, which was why they had no idea what had happened that day when Lu Liangwei was giving birth. All they knew was that Lu Liangwei had almost died because of the difficult labor and Ji’er was later abducted and thrown off Thousand Feet Cliff. They had no idea that Ji’er was almost killed by Long Yang.

The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess had a deep impression of it and doted on that child a lot, which was why she was so agitated when she heard Chu Jiu say something had happened to Ji’er.

Chu Jiu understood how she felt and quickly pushed Lu Tingchen away. Chu Jiu took a few steps forward and helped the Dowager d.u.c.h.ess stand.

“Don’t be anxious, Grandmother. It might not be as serious as you think it is.”

Lu Hetian and the others began to get frustrated as they listened to the conversation and pushed for an answer, “Jiu, what did Ji Lingxiu say to you? What happened to Ji’er?”

Things had escalated to this point and Chu Jiu had no choice but to tell them what Ji Lingxiu had told her.

After listening to her, everyone was so shocked that they were unable to say a word.

Ji’er was almost flung to death by His Majesty when she was born?

Lu Hetian, Ling Lihua, Lu Tingchen, and Lu Xue were all stunned and shocked with disbelief.

When he snapped out of it, Lu Hetian clenched his teeth, wanting to curse at someone. However, the thought of how despaired His Majesty must have felt over what happened to Weiwei to be able to make such a mistake and how everyone had witnessed how much he doted on Ji’er all these years curbed Lu Hetian’s anger. Lu Hetian was about to implode from not knowing whether to feel furious about this or allow his anger to cease completely.

Ling Lihua’s face was covered with tears.

It was terrible. Her little granddaughter had to endure such an experience.

This pained and angered her.

The Dowager d.u.c.h.ess sighed heavily. “That girl has gone through so much calamity in her life, but she managed to grow up healthy and safe all these years and I feel quite consoled by this. I thought she would never find out about what happened, but I guess there is no such thing as a secret in this world.” At this point, her expression was filled with anger. “Ji Linghui is mad with cruelty. If anything were to happen to Ji’er, she won’t be able to pay for it even if she died a hundred times.”

Lu Tingchen said with hate, “Ji Linghui is nothing but trouble. How dare she hurt Ji’er so cruelly. Let me put an end to her right now!”
