Ji Ling held the coffin and cried silently while looking at her aunt's body.
Seeing him like this, Mingwei felt quite comforted.
At least Ji's family still thinks about their mother and feels really sad for her.
She handed over the handkerchief and said, "Don't be sad, cousin. Although my mother has been wronged, she has now been redressed and can go back to peace of mind."
Ji Ling couldn't use her handkerchief, so he immediately took out his own and wiped away his tears, saying: "Don't be afraid, cousin, we will be here in the future. We have been far away from each other all these years, but I don't know that my aunt has suffered such injustice and made you suffer."
!”
He added: "My aunt is not doing well, why didn't you tell us? Even if our Ji family falls into decline, there is no reason to let our married daughter be bullied!"
Um?
He grimaced again: "I've heard about your story. You're young and too impulsive. You've done this before! You can't make your own decisions in the future, just for the sake of temporary pleasure, regardless of the consequences."
Wait, cousin, what did you hear?
Ji Ling thought again, had they just met not long ago, was this too harsh? He softened his tone and said, "My cousin knew that you were alone and helpless, so you made the mistake to avenge your mother. The only fault for this is the dirty Ming family, so I can't blame you.
If you have any grievances in the future, just speak out, and my cousin will help you seek justice. Don't mess around on your own. As for that matter, my cousin will plan it for you. You don't want to see him again."
???
Mingwei's head is full of questions.
It would be inappropriate to keep Mrs. Mingsan's matter completely a secret. The Ji family is her natal family and has the right to know.
It's not appropriate to tell them everything. The truth is too dirty. If the Ji family knew it, wouldn't they be angry to death?
So, she decided to tell half of it, which is the version known to the public.
The third wife of the Ming family was molested by her brother-in-law, so she committed suicide in anger.
But she hasn't said anything yet. Why does this eldest cousin act like I know everything?
"Big cousin..."
Ji Ling thought she was unconvinced, so he said sincerely: "You are still young and don't know the importance of reputation. You must know that people's words make money, and accumulation destroys bones. Although Mr. Yang has a good appearance, he is nothing
He is a good man and a woman of faith. If you take advantage of his influence now, you may suffer big losses in the future."
At this point, he doubted that she really had anything to do with Yang Shu. After all, Mr. Yang's appearance was really rare. His tone became uncertain: "You weren't deceived by him, were you?"
"..." After hearing this, Mingwei finally understood.
She lowered her head and smiled.
This eldest cousin looks serious and hard to get close to, but he is actually a warm-hearted person.
"Does the eldest cousin know? Then I won't hide it. My mother died unjustly, so I don't want her to be buried hastily. The death of my sixth uncle was just to avenge my mother. Now everything is over, I think
I took my mother away from the Ming family, so I planned to cremate her."
She paused for a moment: "As for Mr. Yang, because he is involved in the rebellion case of Prince Qidong, it is difficult to say clearly at the moment. However, his willingness to help is due to my contribution in this case, not what the rumors say.
If my cousin doesn’t believe it, you can ask Mr. Jiang for confirmation. You should trust Mr. Jiang’s character, right?”
"Really?" It's not surprising that Ji Ling was suspicious. A little girl who was raised in a boudoir and was born stupid would be able to do anything even if she recovered from her illness.
"Master Jiang has repeatedly warned me that it is really inconvenient to say more. In short, the things that my cousin is worried about do not exist. It's just that I can no longer stay in the Ming family. I don't know if my cousin..."
Ji Ling immediately said: "We can't let you stay in the Ming family like this. In a few days, when things are settled, my cousin will take you to the capital."
Ming smiled, then his eyes turned red: "Without my mother, I always feel like an orphan. Now that I see my cousin, I finally have relatives again."
Ji Ling felt pity and said softly: "My cousin came late and made you suffer. Since you said that aunt's revenge has been avenged, then let's not mention it. However, the hardships you and aunt have endured in these years,
We can’t let the Ming family go through with it vaguely! Just wait, my cousin will definitely seek justice for you!”
As he said that, his face became serious, as if he was going to find a fight with the Ming family.
Huh?
Mingwei blinked, wondering if she had overacted. She was just pretending to be aggrieved, would this eldest cousin be going to fight for her?
How did she know what was going on in Ji Ling's mind?
He felt that a little girl who had been ill for more than ten years could be of any help in a major rebellion case. Maybe she could just provide one or two clues.
How could Yang Shu be praised for such achievements? It was probably the infamous third son of the Boling Hou Mansion who fell in love with his cousin's beauty.
My cousin is indeed beautiful. I have counted all the beauties I have seen, but there are few who can compare with her.
However, seeing how convinced his cousin was, he didn't want to scare her.
Since she thinks so, let her think so!
You can do other things by yourself. Otherwise, what should your cousin do?
Mingwei had originally planned to go to great lengths to explain to Ji Ling the death of Mrs. Mingsan.
As a result, the eldest cousin listened to the gossip and imagined an image of a little cousin who couldn't help but avenge his mother, and he passed the test just like that...
After feeling sad for Mrs. Mingsan's body, and then respectfully offering incense, Ji Ling went back quietly.
Mingwei observed him for two days and didn't see him causing any trouble, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to seek justice or something, maybe to ask the Ming family to admit their mistakes, right?
This eldest cousin has been studying for many years and has a scholarly temper. He shouldn't be able to cause any big trouble, so just let him go.
Little did she know that Ji Ling looked at An An and even attended the funeral of the Sixth Master in the name of his in-laws. In fact, he had eyes and ears to listen to.
In just three days, his intelligence was gradually updated with the information he found out.
First, I am afraid that the grievances my aunt has suffered are not limited to this molestation. Mingliu is a bastard and has been eyeing the widowed sister-in-law for a long time.
Secondly, the aunt hanged herself in anger, and the whole family actually united to coerce the cousin to give up the investigation.
Thirdly, during her aunt's previous funeral, Ming Er wanted to force her, but fortunately Mr. Jiang helped her.
When he contacted a classmate who worked for Jiang Wenfeng and heard some of the information he revealed, Ji Ling was first shocked, then furious.
My uncle is not dead? And he is a repeat offender in Prince Qidong’s rebellion case!
Moreover, it is very likely that the aunt was not hanged, but was silenced because she knew that the Ming family was involved in the rebellion!
Ji Ling only felt anger rising up.
When he was a child, he had been taught that his uncle was the light of students in Dongning. He had always admired his uncle, but he never expected that he was such a person.
Uncle - bah! You know how ambitious the three wolves are, and you actually do such a treasonous thing.
Poor aunt, she has been sacrificed all her life.
Poor cousin, after being stupid for more than ten years, she finally recovered, but now she has to face such an embarrassing truth.
My biological father is not only a scumbag, but also a felon in rebellion. This is a heinous crime!
No, I have to take my cousin out quickly before the incident happens, and tear off a piece of meat from the Ming family!
