Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 856 Go and guard the door, be sure to get entangled.

Lord Ji found this even more suspicious.

The process of obtaining a kinship certificate from the relevant department for a relative of an important official must be handled with utmost care and caution. Otherwise, if trouble arises, the department will be held responsible, and none of the responsible officials will have an easy time; they could even lose their heads.

On that day, none of the officials with decision-making power were present. Who had the audacity to issue this certificate? And it was related to Princess Zhenguo.

Lord Ji broke out in a cold sweat.

"Go ask the guards who came in that day."

The clerk left, and after a short while, he returned with a grim expression, looking left and right, and lowering his voice.

"My lord, the young master came that day."

Lord Ji's expression changed, and he stared at the clerk, asking, "Is it true?"

"I've already confirmed with the gate guards several times. When they saw it was you, young master, and since the master had just gotten into trouble again, they assumed the master had asked you to come and do something, or that you were just coming to familiarize yourself with the work as usual, so they didn't ask any questions and let you in."

Lord Ji had a headache. He intended for his son to enter the Bureau of Personnel Management in the future, so Ji Changsheng would go to the Bureau of Personnel Management for training from time to time, and he could go there almost without any obstacles.

But Ji Changsheng was a fairly composed person, and he wouldn't make decisions on such an important matter on his own.

If Ji Changsheng vouched for this family, what was his reason?

Now we can only wait for Princess Zhenguo to arrive and see her attitude before pursuing the rest later.

When Qiao Lian'er heard that the people from the Bureau of Subordinate Affairs had come looking for her, she guessed the reason.

"Tell the people in the Department of Management that I will be away for the time being," she said to Butler Chai.

Yes, she has the blood of the Song family in her veins, and that's an undeniable fact. The best course of action now is to avoid this family and prevent them from bothering her directly, and then figure out a solution.

Butler Chai arrived at the door.

"I'm very sorry, Princess Zhenguo is training troops in Jinglang Prefecture and cannot get away at the moment."

"As for how long it will take to return, it could be a few days, half a month, a month, or even several months. After all, Princess Zhenguo has a lot on her plate."

The subordinate official was sent back to report.

Hearing that Qiao Lian'er might not be back for several months, the Song family members all showed anxious expressions. How could they wait that long?

"In that case, you should go back and wait for news." Lord Ji waved his hand.

He had a pretty good idea that this family was probably real, but it was true that Princess Zhenguo didn't want to acknowledge them.

Song Dujuan said, "My lord, we are relatives of Princess Zhenguo, without a doubt. Our relatives back home can testify to our relationship with her. If we really have to wait several months, why not send someone on horseback to Datian Village to ask? It would only take about half a month to make a determination."

“We would never dare to lie to you, sir, but we have traveled thousands of miles to the capital and just want a place to settle down. We really can’t wait that long. Please have mercy on us, sir,” Song Guangtian said urgently.

Lord Ji snorted: "You should know that things in the capital are far more complicated than you imagine. Princess Zhenguo is a very busy person. If she can't spare the time, there's nothing I can do. Since you say she's her relative, you should show her some consideration."

The Song family left the office in a huff, each one looking increasingly unpleasant.

The documents are gone, and Qiao Lian'er is nowhere to be found. What should they do now? It seems like they've gone back to where they started.

“At least we still have a place to stay,” Song Dujuan said.

“But we can’t wait that long, several months. Tomorrow we’ll go to the Qiao family’s gate and wait to see who comes out. Then we’ll go up and recognize them. There’s no way the Qiao family won’t recognize us.”

If we can't count on Qiao Lian'er, we can still count on the rest of the Qiao family.

Song Fusheng touched the few coins in his pocket. His whole family needed to eat, and expenses in the capital were high. This little bit of money wouldn't last more than a few days.

Therefore, we should quickly acknowledge this relative as a family member.

“Okay, the Qiao family has so many members. As long as we can get on good terms with one or two of them, they won’t be able to shake us off. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have that piece of paper,” Song Qijin said.

Qiao Lian'er nodded. "That's a good idea."

After the Song family left, the clerk asked, "Sir, the Song family is still staying in the courtyard arranged by the Department of Residence."

Lord Ji thought for a moment and said, "Let them stay for a few days first. We don't yet know Princess Zhenguo's opinion."

Before it was time to finish his shift, he hurried home and stepped into Ji Changsheng's courtyard.

Ji Changsheng was practicing calligraphy when he looked up and saw his father enter with a cold and stern face.

The pen in my hand trembled, and I immediately wrote a vertical line crookedly.

"Father, what's wrong—"

"I'm asking you, did you obtain the kinship certificate between the Song family and Princess Zhenguo from the Bureau of Revenue without authorization?"

"Yes." Ji Changsheng admitted it. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He often trained in the subordinate departments and was just temporarily acting as his father.

But judging from Lord Ji's expression, he seemed a little guilty. Had he done something wrong?

Lord Ji's breathing became heavy, and he pointed at Ji Changsheng with a furious expression.

"You, you, why didn't you ask me first about something so important? Even though I was injured in a fight and was bedridden, couldn't I make a decision?"

"You almost caused a major disaster."

Ji Changsheng became nervous: "Father, what happened?"

Lord Ji took a deep breath: "Princess Zhenguo may not want to acknowledge this family. If that's what she thinks, but she gets entangled with that family because of that certificate, causing countless troubles, what do you think will happen to our Ji family?"

He had just secretly inquired and found out that Princess Zhenguo had actually been there these past two days and had even met with the Emperor this morning. Knowing this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Upon hearing this, Ji Changsheng's eyes widened, and he began to stammer.

He thought he was doing a good deed, not only repaying Pang You's kindness, but also perhaps the Princess Zhenguo would thank him for it, bringing benefits to the Ji family.

Little did he know that he almost did something wrong and brought trouble to the Ji family.

"Father, what should we do now? I've already issued the certificates." His knees buckled, and he knelt down, his eyes reddening.

Ji Daren's anger subsided by half: "Fortunately, the family's proof documents can't be found, and the archives of the Judicial Bureau have also disappeared. It's strange, but let's just say that there are gods helping the Ji family in the dark. Son, you must remember this lesson and never act rashly again."

Ji Changsheng felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders, tears streaming down his face.

"Father, I understand, I'll remember."

Early the next morning, Song Dujuan and Song Qijin arrived at the street where the Qiao family lived and stared at the door from a distance.
